The ammo truck M818 doesn't exist anymore obviously.

@Cobra847: is this feature abandoned forever?

It's the M939 truck and the feature is working fine, except for cold starts.

Here's a test mission I just created:

COLD start was the thing I was trying.
Can you put it to the list of open items in order to have this function to work with COLD starts as well?

I think using triggers in the ME that should still be possible (if you feel like battling the AI), but as @QuiGon said that feature was removed from the kneeboard.

Why is this feature dropped? It was amazing? Any explanation?

Thanks in advance

Can you provide a track file, so we can take a look at what's happening there?

Not sure exactly. I guess it was just too costly to maintain its functionality due to continious changes in the API

Is it possible to customize loadout on the kneeboard pages?

About a month ago this worked for me. Do you have any doubt?

No, AFAIK this is not possible. You can only choose between the preconfigured loadouts there.

Hm, after reading Skyracers question again, I have to admit that I misunderstood his question. My answer was wrong (I therefore deleted my post above).
Sorry Skyracer, my weak.

Is it possible to have marking of LS and L1 for road base too (but using Mission Editor)?

I see only B0 and B4, not LS and L1. Any ideas?

null

[TOViper]

Unfortunatley, when spawing "Takeoff from ground hot" or "Takeoff from ground", no LS is set automatically by DCS.
After powering up the aircraft, you have to manually enter a reference point (REF LOLA), and manually enter values for the "runway" direction (BANA/GRÄNS).
B0 indicates that none of these entered currently. Once you entered a reference point, "B0" is replaced by "LS".

@MYSE1234: could it be made possible from the mission editor? Currently it doesn't work.

It works for this way but excepts LS and L:

I used 9099 for REF/LOLA and right direction for BANA/GRANS and it was B0 still, not LS, did you write about latitude and longitude?

No, if you use a reference point it works, but not coordinates.
Reference points can be seen on the kneeboard some where ... which in fact doesn't necessarily solve this issue, because when you don't have a reference point at the exact location near the take-off point it will not work then.

Idea: Maybe you can try to enter coordinates AFTER you entered any reference point ... can you try that?

EDIT: works. First enter a reference point, then enter the correct coordinates, then you have LS.
