Moin allerseits, die 1./JG71 ist offiziel am 14. Januar 2023 ins Leben gerufen worden. Ursprünglich ging der Flugbetrieb damals dem realen Vorbild entsprechend mit der F-86F Sabre los; nach fast einem Jahr wurde dann - als sich die heiß erwartete Phantom von Heatblur verspätete - kurzzeitig mit der F-5E Tiger geflogen und damit der Flugbetrieb für die F-4 Phantom vorbereitet. Aktuell befindet sich die virtuelle 1./JG71 noch in der Waffensystemausbildung für die F-4 Phantom [B-Course] und sucht gleichgesinnte Piloten, die sich mit der Zielsetzung dieser virtuellen Staffel identifizieren können. Was diese Zielsetzung der virtuellen 1./JG71 "Richthofen ist, macht der hier noch einmal aufgeführte Vorstellungsbeitrag deutlich: Die virtuelle 1./JG 71 "Richthofen" Die virtuelle 1./JG 71 simuliert in der Flugsimulation Digital Combat Simulator (DCS) eine Jagdstaffel der deutschen Luftwaffe in Anlehnung an das reale Vorbild, die 1. Staffel des Jagdgeschwader 71 "Richthofen" in Wittmund. 1./JG 71 ist eine "Cold War"-Staffel, d.h. sie simuliert primär Szenarien, die historisch-technisch im Kalten Krieg angesiedelt sind. Das Hauptflugmuster ist die F-4E Phantom von Heatblur, die in der Rolle des "Tactical Fighter" betrieben wird, also sowohl in der Rolle als Jäger als auch als Jagdbomber. In dem in DCS verfügbaren Rüstzustand DSCG entspricht sie sehr gut einer deutschen F-4F der 1980er Jahre nach der "Peace Rhine"-Modifikation und ist perfekt für das, was wir in der 1./JG71 "Richthofen" simulieren wollen - den Höhepunkt der "klassischen" Luftkriegsführung in den 1980er Jahren, als es noch keine AMRAAMs, IRIS-T und AESA Radar gab, die Welt der "Bonner Republik" noch überschaubar war und die Schwarzwaldklinik über 20 Millionen Zuschauer pro Woche hatte. Weitere Module kommen in der 1./JG71 nach Bedarf und Qualifikation der Piloten in Einzelfällen ebenfalls zum Einsatz (z.B. wird im Rahmen von Blue Flag die UH-1 Huey hin und wieder genutzt). Bestandteile des Flugbetriebs der 1./JG 71 sind einerseits Übungsflüge auf einem eigenen Server, andererseits aber auch "scharfe" Einsatzflüge auf öffentlichen Servern (z.B. Blue Flag). In der 1./JG 71 wird auf relativ hohen Realismusgrad hinsichtlich fliegerischer und taktischer Verfahren Wert gelegt, die Limitierungen der Simulation werden aber berücksichtigt. Die Flüge werden planerisch vorbereitet und entsprechend der Flugplanung durchgeführt. Der Flugfunk wird durchgeführt in englischer Sprache mittels der offiziellen englischen Flugfunksprechgruppen und brevity codes sowie einsatzangepasster Sprechgruppen. Für den Flugfunk wird ausschließlich SRS genutzt, alle sonstige Kommunikation läuft über Discord. 1./JG 71 nutzt realistische Verfahren der Luftwaffe bzw. der NATO-Partner, soweit wir Zugang dazu haben. Ein Hauptbestandteil unseres Übungsflugbetriebes ist das Erlernen und Üben dieser Verfahren. Zum Flugbetrieb der 1./JG 71 gehören z.T. Flugverkehrskontrolle (ATC) und Gefechtsleitung (GCI/AWACS), welche durch Mitglieder dargestellt werden. Die 1./JG 71 kann aus Zeit- und Kapazitätsgründen keine grundlegende Flugausbildung anbieten, weswegen "ausgebildete Luftfahrzeugführer" gesucht werden, d.h. Interessenten sollen grundsätzlich in DCS fliegen können, und die F-4E soll grundlegend beherrscht werden (d.h. z.B. Triebwerksstart, wo sind welche Schalter, wie werden die einzelnen Systeme bedient, wie wird die F-4 grundsätzlich geflogen --> Selbststudium!), eine intensivere Waffensystem- und Taktikausbildung erfolgt staffelintern. 1./JG 71 hat eine einfache Kommandostruktur mit flacher Hierarchie ohne militärische Ränge. Der Umgangston ist höflich, erwachsen und kameradschaftlich-freundschaftlich. Während der Briefings und Flüge sind wir gemäß unserer realen Vorbilder "all business, no nonsense", nach den Flügen gibt es aber an der virtuellen Staffelbar auch gerne mal ein Flugdienstabschlussbier und small talk. Wer Interesse hat, in der 1./JG 71 zu fliegen und Mitglied zu werden, möge sich bitte für weitere Informationen per Direktnachricht hier im Forum an mich wenden. Anforderungen für Bewerber Bewerber für die 1./JG 71 sollen die folgenden Anforderungen bei Beitritt erfüllen: Mindestalter 21 Jahre gute Beherrschung der deutschen Sprache (Muttersprachler) hinreichende Beherrschung der englischen Sprache (für Flugfunk und Kommunikation im internationalen Multiplayer-Rahmen) Bereitschaft zu einigermaßen regelmäßiger Teilnahme (das "wahre Leben" geht aber natürlich auch bei der 1./JG71 immer vor) fliegertheoretische Grundkenntnisse (Begriffe wie "downwind", "QNH" oder "IMC" sollten Dir nicht fremd vorkommen) fliegerische Grundbeherrschung der F-4E, d.h. Beherrschung von Normalflugzuständen und -verfahren in VMC und IMC, Notverfahren, Waffeneinsatz hohe Motivation zur Durchführung von Flügen auf Basis der aufgestellten Verfahren (Einhaltung der staffelinternen Verfahren, insbesondere der Flug- und Sprechfunkverfahren) und Bereitschaft zum "Leben in der Lage" Bereitschaft zur Übernahme von ATC- und GCI-Aufgaben Bereitschaft zum Selbststudium und zur selbständigen Vorbereitung von Flugabenden höfliches, besonnenes Auftreten benötigte DCS-Module: F-4E, Cold War Germany (Kola, Syrien und Nevada zusätzlich wären von Vorteil, da wir phasenweise auf andere NATO-Plätze verlegen) Für diejenigen, die unser Programm interessant finden, sich aber noch nicht fit genug fühlen, um auf diesem Level bei uns mitzufliegen, haben wir ein Dokument erstellt, mit dessen Hilfe man im Selbststudium die notwendigen Inhalte erlernen und üben kann. Ferner haben wir zu diesem Zweck einen Discordserver erstellt, wo man Fragen zur Waffensystemausbildung F-4F stellen und sich austauschen kann. Ältere Berichte vom Flugbetrieb der virtuellen 1./JG71 finden sich noch im internationalen Forum; diese vermitteln einen Eindruck dessen, was den Flugbetrieb dieser Staffel ausmacht. Interessenten, die Spaß an solchem Flugbetrieb haben, sind herzlich willkommen.

After the mid-March (17 Mar), I started to experience a CTD moments before DCS would load into a mission. This affects single player and multiplayer missions. See the attached DCS crash log. This occurs when using my VPN service; which rhymes with BoardVPN. When VPN is ON, the game would crash during the "Export Start" phase of the loading screen (Single Player or Multiplayer). Part of the problem rests with a script in my Export.lua file. Specifically, the game crashes to desktop when the Export.lua file tries to run the script: "dofile(wwtlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/wwt/wwtExport.lua')". That script is for my WinWing/SimAppPro HOTAS setup. When I remark out that line, DCS does not crash, even when the VPN is on. Other observations: 1. DCS-SRS and DCS-TheWay applications will not work when the VPN service is on. This is true even when the SimAppPro script is disabled. When the VPN is off, then SRS and TheWay applications work as advertised. 2. The VPN software had an update and the same with Windows 11 during this time. All my video and audio drivers are current too. 3. I contacted both VPN provider and WinWing to troubleshoot this problem. 4. DCS would encounter CTD even before the Mar 19 and Mar 26 updates (DCS 2.9.14.8222 and DCS 2.9.14.8394, respectively). 5. Before 17 March, DCS would run normally when my VPN was on or off. I have 2 workarounds but I would like to find the cause and potentially fix this problem so I may continue to use my VPN service. 1. Remark out the WinWing code in the Export.lua file. 2. Turn off the VPN while playing DCS. Has anyone else experienced this issue? dcs.log-20250401-010302.zip

Hello ED Team, I’d like to report a recurring issue with missile desynchronization in multiplayer, specifically noticed with AIM-120C on the Growling Sidewinder (GS) server. During a one-hour session, I was shot down three times by missiles that were clearly desynced between the server and my client. Reviewing the Tacview confirmed that the missile had already passed or gone dumb on my screen, while it still tracked and hit me according to the server (even the server's Tacview shows a desynced missile). From repeated testing on two local machines, it appears that missile entities are not network-synchronized like aircraft or ground units. Currently: The target ID and guidance vectors are transmitted over UDP. The actual missile position, velocity, and orientation seem to be computed locally by each client rather than streamed periodically. This leads to positional drift over time, producing "ghost" hits or "zombie" missiles depending on packet loss and latency. When turning a missile into a flyable, networked unit (for testing), no desync occurs — which supports the idea that ordinary missiles are not fully network-updated objects. I completely understand the constraints of UDP and large-scale multiplayer, and I’m not suggesting rewriting the network stack. However, a periodic synchronization of missile positional data over UDP, similar to how other world entities are handled, would likely mitigate these issues significantly. It would also integrate very well with DCS’s existing prediction, interpolation, and extrapolation systems, allowing smoother corrections and reducing visible jumps or discrepancies between clients. Desyncs like this undermine multiplayer fairness and realism, especially in PVP BVR combat, or tournaments where milliseconds matter. Thank you for considering this feedback. I hope this information helps identify where synchronization could be improved. Best regards, Nol

The Digital Coalition Air Force (DCAF) is pleased to announce that it is opening recruitment once again. Sharpen your skills and get the best out of what DCS has to offer. We are currently doing selection for controllers (whether ATC, GCI/ABM, JTAC/FAC), F-15E Strike Eagle, F-16C Viper, and F/A-18C Hornet. DCAF is a organised and academic milsim group with most of its community based in the EU. We pride ourselves on our structured online training curriculum, instructors, and the ops that we offer. Presently, we alternate between a training and operations season, the former is used to train new cadets to the required squadron standard, and for current members to stay current. We undertake this rigorous training program to ensure that all our members meet the standards required for operations, getting the best experience from the immersive scenarios our mission makers create. Our times: During training seasons we fly as a group every Thursday 1830GMT/BST with individual squadron training happening on Tuesdays or over the weekends. It is a minimum requirement to regularly attend every Thursday, and dependent on some roles, attend twice a week due to instructor workload and meaningful progression. During operations seasons we alternate weeks between planning/practice and executing the missions where the minimum attendance requirement is at least twice a month. Our squadrons: (v)RAAF No.75 Squadron 'Magpies' - F/A-18C Hornet No.75 Squadron is DCAF's newest addition to the line-up with the ambition to provide unparalleled versatility and multirole capability to operations. Commitment, tenacity, and self-improvement are core values to our squadron's culture. After completing our comprehensive training program, you'll be adept at roles ranging from CAP against 4th generation threats in BVR or WVR, to low-level strike and aerial interdiction against the toughest of targets - regardless of the environment or conditions. Join the Magpies and learn to seek and strike. (v)USAF 119th ‘Jersey Devils’ - F-16C Viper 119th 'Jersey Devil's is DCAF's dedicated "Wild Weasels", specializing in hunting and killing enemy SAMs and SHORAD systems, clearing a path for the other squadrons. We are looking for pilots that accept high risk, that are flexible and able to solve problems fast and creatively as they pop up. We are usually first in and last to leave, and we rely on our own ability to defend against air and ground threats alike! If you like fast and dynamic problem solving, and love flying the "racing model" of all airframes, then you might have what it takes to be a Devil! (v)USAF 335th ‘Chiefs’ - F-15E Strike Eagle The 335th ‘Chiefs’ is DCAF’s premier air-to-air squadron, traditionally focused on advanced fighter tactics and air superiority. With the introduction of the F-15E Strike Eagle, the Chiefs have embraced its multirole capabilities, expanding their legacy of precision air combat into the strike domain. Thanks to the F100-PW-229 engines, APG-70 radar, and heavy load capacity, the Strike Eagle allows our pilots to stay on station longer, fly higher, and strike harder than any other platform in DCAF’s roster. If you are interested in rigorous training, mastering both air-to-air and air-to-ground operations, and getting the best out of what DCS has to offer, this is the squadron for you. By the end of your training, you will be able to operate effectively in a flight, execute four-ship tactical formations (TACFORM), and conduct Beyond Visuals Range (BVR) engagements in any weather or time of day – all without datalink. You will be trained in both Defensive and Offensive Counter Air (DCA/OCA) fundamentals to tailor the squadron’s air-to-air tasking to any mission scenario, including Air Combat Maneuvering (ACM) execution and air to air refueling (AAR) - day or night. Beyond air combat, you will also learn to employ the Strike Eagle’s unique precision strike capability – from JDAM and LGB missions to low-level ingress and pop-up attacks at night in hostile airspace. The 335th blends traditional air superiority doctrine with modern strike tactics, making our pilots adaptable, effective, and ready for any tasking. If you’re looking for structure, challenge, and camaraderie – the Chiefs are waiting for you. Wampum! Combined Controller and Support Wings: DCAF started as a place to practice radio telephony with real-life procedures and continues to do so. Air Traffic Controllers and Aerospace Battle Managers are a mainstay in our operations, providing a great setting for both experienced and aspiring controllers to hone their skills. We are accessible for those looking to see what it takes to run our air operations (whether you're freelancing in the DCS community or a military/commercial professional). Our Support Wing helps deliver an immersive experience for DCAF's operations (role playing, logistics, and other supernumery roles). We provide FREE licences for LotAtc on our servers for both members and guests. Simple Radio Standalone is used for radio communications, with Combined Arms being required for ground roles. How to apply: APPLICATION FORM If you are interested in joining, please apply using the above link, then join our Discord (feel free to use the @Recruitment Officer tag in the new-members-chat to ask any questions). Successful applicants will be invited for an introductory talk. Due to some roles being competitive, checkrides are given to select the appropriate candidates, these steps will be laid out by your Recruitment Officer. It is a good idea to be familiar with the module that you are applying for (i.e. ability to air to air refuel and understand basic combat systems), as these will be assessed. Due to the nature of our training and operations seasons, you should be confident that at least the first 6 months will generally be free for you to attend (holidays, annual leave etc. of course are absolutely fine). Ideally, candidates who will have a predictable schedule for the next year are preferred. We look forward to hearing from you and seeing you on the training season, DCAF Recruitment Team https://discord.com/invite/F94F4FUsXG https://dcafoc.wixsite.com/home

Hello, I've been away for about a week and wanted to do some helicopter flying again. After logging into various servers, I keep getting stuck after selecting my aircraft and a crash message appears. I then tried flying a campaign mission and a custom mission, but I always get the same crash message. The log says something about missing Voice_Chat.log or something similar. I've tried repairing the game via Steam, updating the game version to the last version and then back to the current version, and even restarting the computer hasn't worked. Now I'm a bit confused, when I start DCS without my VR headset, everything works strangely. So the problem only exists with my VR headset. I hope for your help.

Are you interested in learning to fly, fight and maximize your abilities in Modern DCS Jets? Would you like to fly fun and challenging cooperative missions as part of a team? Do you have a willingness to learn? We take beginners and we're patient if you put in the effort. If your answers are "Yes," then give the Virtual Armed Forces a go! The Virtual Armed Forces (VAF) is looking to expand its ranks with enthusiastic and motivated virtual pilots and RIOs who enjoy cooperative missions. The VAF has five squadrons primarily supporting three active airframes and one in an inactive state: 111th Fighter Squadron "Ace in the Hole" flying the F-16C Viper - Recruiting Pilots VFA-131 "Wildcats" flying the F/A-18C Hornet - Recruiting Pilots VFA-136 "Knighthawks" flying the F/A-18C Hornet - Recruiting Pilots VF-142 "Ghostriders" flying the F-14A/B Tomcat (currently inactive pending more interest) 428th "Buccaneers" flying the F15-E Strike Eagle - Recruiting both Pilots and WSO's We have openings available for our F-16, F-18 and F-15E squadrons. We don't expect Chuck Yeager; we're happy with Charlie Brown. We prefer good attitudes to good sticks, because with good attitude skills can be learned. We ask only that you bring a good attitude, a willingness use tactics and cooperate as a team, and the dedication to undertake our training syllabus. In return, we will provide our own individual attention to develop your skills. Additionally, we foster a fun, friendly, and supportive environment with no formal rank structure or command hierarchy.

Would be nice if we could get the option to change the present frequency s in game via the kneeboard on the ground like changing Lasercodes in some other planes. And it would be nice if Petrovic will advise to re approach from an different angle before the lock happens like I see the target but you have to reposition so I can shoot it kind of ?

Over the last few months I have been completely unable to track certain SAM sites such as the SA6 with the AGM-45 on some multiplayer servers. While the shrike gives tone and fires completely normally, the control surfaces do not move and the shrike doesn't even try to track the target. I have tested all seeker heads, In direct and loft modes and with all SAM sites in DCS. Even after removing all scripts and mods from the server the same thing still occurred. I have attached 4 track files of each test and the MIZ file which was used. For the SA11 the mk49 mod 1 seeker head was used and no track was obtained. For the SA6 the mk36 seeker head was used and no track had been obtained (the mk49 has also been tested previously and no track was obtained). And finally for the SA2 the mk 50,22,25 and 37 were used and all missiles tracked fine. However these results seem to be inconsistent across servers as I also tested the SA6 with the mk36 on another server and it tracked fine.

[Designer's Notes] 1. Hawk 1-1 (Player 1, Tail # 211), is the mission commander for every mission, and must be selected to trigger designed events. 2. Cold start time is limited for some missions, it's highly recommended that the server remains paused until all players are seated and ready. 3. Please keep the original weapon loadout as some mission triggers will only be activated by a specified weapon type. 4. Please read the briefing material carefully in each mission pack. Please follow the flight waypoints, otherwise, some events might not be triggered. 5. It requires at least 4 players to complete most of the missions. But it's recommended to play with 4 or more players. Hawk 1 Flight is usually designed for primary objective, Hawk 2 Flight is for secondary objective, whilst an hot-on-ramp Hawk 3 flight with AA loadout doesn't carry any specific tasks but just in case more than 8 players want to play the game, feel free to change loadout and goals for Hawk 3. 6. For CAS missions, the in-game JTAC will ask you to depart after current group of targets are destroyed, but you could re-contact the same JTAC for the next assignment untill all groups of targets are destroyed. 7. All Air Force missions support maximum of 20 players, current simplified F-15C (FC3 module) will be replaced with full-simulated F-15C once it's released from ED. Although these missions don't have voiceovers, it would be more immersive if one player join as the Air Operation Controller to coordinate different flights/packages with different aircraft, especially when more than 2 flights (8 players) are in the game.

It has detailed mission briefing in pdf inside the download package. Operation Hormuz Mission 01 (digitalcombatsimulator.com) I planned to make a series of mission as a whole campaign, it doesn't have much thrilling plots or challenging tasks, but mainly focuse on following briefing instructions, fly tactical formation and basic weapon handling in an "as-real-as-possible" battlefield environment for multiplayer COOP. Hope you enjoy it. Welcome for comments, and please give feedbacks if there's any bugs, thanks.

Hi, I was flying with one of my friends in multiplayer and after a loop we did a barrel roll where we collided. but from my perspective I was about 1m under his plane, and from his perspective I was comming from above his plane and hit it going down. Here are 2 videos from our perspective. My perspective: My friend's perspective: This happened about 10min into the flight. I've attached my track if it can help. SVAF NORMAL-20250709-205040.trk

In recent weeks, when trying out TAA, I've been reliably seeing a flickering (or an exaggerated ghosting) that only appears when I'm a client on multiplayer (not when I'm the server, not in singleplayer). This is most notable in the cockpit, except when the airframe is perfectly still, and can make reading the instruments difficult. It can be seen to a lesser extent in the f2 view on the player's vehicle (not tested spectating on other vehicles). I will try to work with my friendly server admin to get an example without any mods, so that a track can be provided. For now I'm posting this in case anyone else runs into this.

So I am trying to play on a server and I thought I'd like to use DTC and upon opening the DTC menu and importing the DTC file I made for myself I get this "Available Mission Files" as empty (drop down thing) and upon clicking the Load button it doesn't load the DTC (I checked the MUMI page, it says its deefault). So does this mean the miz file of the mission needs to have a DTC and only then you can load it? Well that would be make this DTC feature very very useless for people who fly on servers where they got no DTC on specific planes. Again I am unsure if I am doing something wrong. I'd like to know more Thanks, I will attach screenshots. Here's what I see when I am on DTC page. Here's the MUMI page. null Thanks!

Today, after updating, I was trying to connect to an MP server, and timed out connecting to it. I saw the timeout dialog, but after I dismissed it, I could not open the main menu. I ended up having to go into task manager to quit the game. This happened several times. I feel like this was happening a while back, but was fixed?

The dynamic spawn whenever I click the start button gets stuck somehow, I tried deleting all the mods that are in the saved games and verify the game but it just doesn't work. However the set spawn slots in the server are working, anyone know how to fix this? Cheers

Since the latest update with the Germany map, I have encountered "protocol / stream error" on numerous occaisions whilst on a multiplayer server. The connection to the multiplayer server is lost and I am back at the server list from where I have to reconnect to the MP server again (see attached log file). Can anyone enlighten me as to how I can prevent this from happening, or is this a DCS issue? Thanks. I have also opened a support ticket for this. Kind regards, dcs_prototcol_stream_error.log

Hi, I've experienced this issue at least four times since the last update, and have had my friends experience it separately. We will be playing on a server (at least two different ones where this has occurred), and all clients crash to desktop simultaneously. I've attached numerous log files from myself and my friends I was playing with when this occurred. This has happened across at least two servers now. I've also attached a server log from the dedicated server I use when this occurred. I raised the issue in the Eagle Dynamics / DCS Discord Help Room, and someone identified the following error immediately before the crash occurred: 2025-05-16 21:02:45.079 ALERT APP (Main): Unhandled exception: Attempt to get rate 1 from gun "gun" Given that this error results in numerous clients completely crashing out to desktop, I believe a major issue is at play here, and I would appreciate it being looked into.

It would be nice if users had an option to change the colors of the multiplayer chat window, or at least increase the opacity of the background. Often times, it can be hard to read the text in game.

Hello DCS pilots! Recently we've added events system to VIRPIL Controls Servers and we'll be running some events (currently duel events) on regular basis. You can check the upcoming events for the duel server here. Feel free to register for any event that you might like (the sign up required) or just do some ranked duels if there is no event active (sign up is not mandatory in this case). If you have any questions on how the server works you can refer to the briefing, duel server faq or feel free to ask me - I'll be glad to answer!

Hey all! Glad to tell you that we've started a new duel server. Check all the info on it here VIRPIL Servers Current list of availiable AC for ranked duels: P-51D Bf-109K4 MiG-15 F-86 F/A-18C F-16C F-15C Su-27 MiG-29S Ka-50 Discord To run ranked duels, you don't need to choose slots manually. Please use chat commands to select the aircraft type and start the duel. Here are the chat commands you can use: /select /duel /select Command This command brings up the aircraft type selection menu. After the selection menu appears, please enter the number of the desired aircraft type from the list. If you select "Any" type, you'll be added to the queue for every available aircraft. /duel Command Type this command in the chat to join the ranked duel. If there is an opponent with the same aircraft type in the queue, you'll be automatically moved to the proper slots and the countdown will begin. Once you see the "Fight!" command in the chat, you need to spawn in your aircraft. Press [Left Alt + B] (by default) to bring up the briefing menu and press the "Fly" button. Alternatively you can get the automatic spawn script for the VPC Duel Server here VIRPIL Servers S!

After the last update to DCS, in all eras, with all planes (modern, gold war, ww2), as a client, while you put them in the airports in the ROUTE tab in TYPE in any position that is "hot" and in single player it plays fine, in multiplayer games it always puts them "cold".

Greetings All, I was making a script that will allow specific groups access to given options for the F10 Menu in multiplayer. In this example there are 4 groups, (e.g. XX-DRAGON-1-1-XX, ...) as seen in the code below. When the mission starts, I 'DO SCRIPT FILE' and run the following code to no avail. ------------------------------------------------------------------ -- CustomLUA F10 Menu for Specific Groups -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------ -- https://wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/DCS_func_addCommandForGroup -- https://wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/DCS_func_addSubMenu -- https://wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/DCS_func_addSubMenuForGroup ------------------------------------------------------------------ local function successSound() -- Run when called trigger.action.outSound("1-success.wav") -- Play sound end local function failureSound() trigger.action.outSound("2-failure.wav") end local tbl = {"XX-DRAGON-1-1-XX", "XX-DRAGON-1-2-XX", "XX-DRAGON-1-3-XX", "XX-DRAGON-1-4-XX"} -- List of group names to get menu access for i = 1, #tbl do if Group.getByName(tbl[i]) then local groupId = Group.getByName(tbl[i]):getID local adminM = missionCommands.addSubMenuForGroup(groupId, 'ADMIN MENU') local soundM = missionCommands.addSubMenuForGroup(groupId, 'Play Sounds', adminM) missionCommands.addCommandForGroup(groupId, 'Success', soundM , successSound, tbl[i]) missionCommands.addCommandForGroup(groupId, 'Failure', soundM , failureSound, tbl[i]) end end This code is based off of several links and I'm not quite sure why it does not work. When run in game, after joining the unit of said group, the menu never even shows up... Any ideas?

Greetings to all: L-39C flight training attempt on my Local LAN behind my router. Two Win 10 machines, logged in with same credentials (mine) on both machines, recent purchase of L-39 for this purpose present. Get to the point where the student has accepted the instructor into the rear seat and the student un-pauses his instance. The instructor's machine is remotely un-paused at this point and all seems OK. But within a few minutes the instructor is messaged with "You have left the crew" followed by an exit from the entire program and a message box reading "Login session has expired". Seemingly inconsistent timing of this but the "Login session has expired." message always appears on one of the two machines. Do I need two accounts (both with L-39 modules)? Two different people (two accounts) logged in, one on each machine? Client v. Player in ME? Tried it both ways. Dyn. Spawn Template in the ME for the mission? Tried it both ways. Priority issues? Pilot v Instructor v equal priority. Public Server Checkbox? Seems to work unchecked on my LAN (Student pilot in server at 192.168.0.xxx:10308) Server Maintenance? (doubt it) As usual, thanks in advance for any and all comments/suggestions! Not sure which log files to provide if necessary. jda8818
