Ok so I'm cramming a few issues into this report since they all seem kinda related, but please let me know if I should make separate reports. Building a mission on Afghanistan and ran into a pile of ground AI issues including 1) Troops refuse to move after disembarking, pay attention to the south-inf-1 group, they embark fine but after disembarking refuse to move, I've left in a trigger i tried to use to get them going. 2) More seriously it seems ground groups are having issues with formations, check out the group named Line Abreast, you'll see it ignores its entire path and goes straight to its last waypoint, interestingly it will follow waypoints if i reduce the group size to 4, there is with that group a group with similar waypoints but off road and you will see it behaves as expected 3) Next possibly more of a map bug I'm not sure, but pay attention to the 4 lavs after the infantry group disembarks and how they choose to path through that small village (note all their waypoints in that area are on road) 4) Finally later on the group of 4 lavs gets a line abreast waypoint for a short stretch, they ignore it and stay in column BuggedAI.miz -
Hi, I am currently deperately trying to get a bomber group to work. I currently have three problems. 1. The very first group (B17-1), the leader of all, is also a set of three B17, (actually like all the other groups). However, it's the only one where the second and third plane are placed far behind the first, and they need many miles to catch up. 2. Just before the carpet bombing, the B17-5 and B17-7 are starting to fall behind without any noticable reason. 3. After the bombing many plances are crashing in each other. Are there three tricks to fix this behaviours? I've attached the mission B17Crash.miz

Hi, I am not sure that the today AI Wingman is able to perform the following steps as one task: 1. go back home base/cv (it is available) 2. re-arm and re-fuel 3. taxi-off and rejoin formation Thanks. -

untilOn Friday nights The VNAO fleet will get together to practice or fly a mission. Some nights are incredibly busy some are not. Expect the hardest challenges here, such as Zip-lip operations to zero visibility strikes or intercepts.

Hi all! whilst we can use set formations in a waypoint via e.g. ... ["formation_template"]="Ammo Truck Circle" ... the actual references seem only to exists in the mission file in the miz. The setup is relatively simple ["customFormations"] = { [1] = { ["name"] = "Ammo Truck Circle", ["positions"] = { [1] = { ["y"] = 0, ["x"] = 0, ["heading"] = 4.4134813168853, }, -- end of [1] [2] = { ["y"] = 208.17113065999, ["x"] = -24.903908270004, ["heading"] = 4.4134813168853, }, -- end of [2] [3] = { ["y"] = -74.07316305011, ["x"] = 173.05023437999, ["heading"] = 4.4134813168853, }, -- end of [3] [4] = { ["y"] = 321.19656048995, ["x"] = 153.25482011, ["heading"] = 4.4134813168853, }, -- end of [4] [5] = { ["y"] = 27.458155269967, ["x"] = 330.13642498999, ["heading"] = 4.4134813168853, }, -- end of [5] [6] = { ["y"] = 223.4966126699, ["x"] = 327.58217799, ["heading"] = 4.4134813168853, }, -- end of [6] }, -- end of ["positions"] }, -- end of [1] }, -- end of ["customFormations"] Question: Can these be dynamically added and/or altered via the API with LUA scripting? Thanks

as per title, the units execute turns as fingertip instead of echelon, the units should remain in their designated altitude not above each other

I made a fa18 formation flight training mission so you don't have to. You can change the weather in the mission editor if you want. If this helped you out, subscribe to me on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNijtw5S2Op9sHXrL9kujjg To use simply 1: download the mission 2: Open C/users/your name/saved games/dcs/missions 3: if dcs is downloaded to another drive (D or E or F etc.) just look for dcs/missions 4: drag the download into this folder and you should be good to go FA 18 formation flight training.miz

Hi guys, Small poll, i dont know if i will set it up properly, it goes like this; Tell us how proficient you are in particular module, how many you have, etc. I will do my take please take same form for easier reading. Number of modules: 7 Ka50, Mi-24, Mig15, Mig19, Mig21, F14, P-47. Proficiency: Ka50: 4 Mi-24: 1 Mig-15: 1 Mig-19: 1 Mig-21: 1 F-14B: 5 P-47: 3 Legend: explanation for marks, 1 to 10, 10 means you know not just everything but also you are very fluent in using your lnowledge coupled with your skills, for instance youcan do formation flying very close for longer time than 1 minute ( lets say 20 min), can refuel easily 9 out of 10 times and can maintain contact throughout, understand where you are on space, can find air base bacl home without F10 map option cheating, basically you are as close to a real pilot as possible, weapons employment, accuracy, aerial tactics (attacking in pairs, 4s, etc.). 1 means obviously the opposite. Rate yourself as you feel as normally hard to be very scientific with this poll, just generalization yo get a feel for it. If you can write why such bad low proficiency numbers in your modules (lack of motivation, campaigns, dynamic campaign, lack of time, bad gear (your stick is cheap and cant perform smooth precise movements etc). For me its lack of time definitely, i barely put 2 hours per week of flight time, so far i am on a mission to lewrn refueling with tomcat, started 1 month ago, and started by gunning down tanker after PIO on the basket non stop to now holding position easy, even connecting but sadly disconnecting like 3 seconds in.. Again thank you for you input, would love to see your "results"... ))))

If there are 'hard' limits, then a) they should be communicated and b) the mission editor shouldn't allow you to set anything lower than those. However, I'd strongly suggest that any limits should be removed. If we want AI aircraft to fly very close (parade or aerobatic close formation) then we should be allowed to do so. These are supposed to be 80ft apart. They start that way, but immediately the AI aircraft that is FOLLOWING, spreads out, drops height and falls back into some default AI formation. Despite no formation data being specified on either aircraft. Broken Follow.miz ETA: This 'bug' or 'restriction' is present in all AI / NPC units, not just aircraft. Infantry and vehicles fall foul to this all the time.

Probably a long shot, but does anyone know if there is a way, by modding some scripting? To create custom AI aircraft formation templates, that you could then use from ME advanced WP properties when setting "Set Option" - "Formation" - "xxxxxxxxx"?

I am probably making a very simple mistake so have included some pictures that someone can see my error. I am using the new Normandy 2.0 scenery and am trying to have a flight with myself leading to intercept some German bombers enroute to my home airfield. My mission map shows there should be 4 x Spitfires on the runway at Carpiquet. However when I look from my cockpit there is just me. If I call on the common frequency 118.3 I get no acknowledgement. If I take off there are no other members of my flight around so its a Nigel No Friends experience. Is it to do with setting the SKILL? I have tried all x CLIENT and me PLAYER and 3 x client. No difference that I can see. Any ideas appreciated. Cheers PC

Last patch 2.9.1.4 Exterior Lighting on Hornet no longer works if the jet is on cold start. Hot start is fine. Video is from a campaign which was working fine before patch. Notice the other AI jets also have no lights. Dcs 2023-11-17 21-42-35.mkv
