ok thanks
the frequency you change in the mission editor, is it the general frequency of the group or a frequency assigned to a radio channel?

 

I think they must have changed the allowable frequency range of the group

 

It was this radio frequency. I think it is the group frequency? I can launch the mission if I set it between 100~150.

 

[Miguel21]

yes, thank you
I need to code a fix

Dear partners. I have a problem with the campaigns corresponding to the Harrier, when I start with coold star my plane does it well and I manage to take off without problems but when my wingman has to take off, it moves to the beginning but soon after it places the chocks and does not take off. Take off is from the Tarawa. Thank you

Hi
place these 2 files in "Mods\tech\DCE\ScriptsMod.NG".
Save the previous files

You can also change the freq of the Gudauta tower in the file "Init\db_airbases.php" and put the VHF frequency compatible with your Mig-19:
 

ATC_frequency = "130.000",

All this is a test,
can you tell me if it works?

thank you

UTIL_Functions.lua DC_Briefing.lua

in addition, there is no compatible frequency in a package between the Mig19 and the F86, so there will be no frequency that works between these 2 groups, this is normal.

I can confirm that the problem is fixed! All frequencies are now within mig19 range. Thank you! . Here's a link to the miz file with the fix: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1K_EoZ2zeyL62FFfduk6DuwoqfI0h5xmr/view?usp=sharing

 

btw, I'm curious, is it normal that there aren't any Su-7(Su-17)s flying around in the mission? The briefing says there are Su-7s and I've never seen one flying even in the Indian Mig-21 campaign.

I can't find them even in the mission editior. Here's the miz file for '71 mig-21 campaign: https://drive.google.com/file/d/14w4NrB1_7TZ26VM23hh6HpZbNJAiVpqd/view?usp=sharing

To change that quickly you can find the db_loadouts.lua file in the Init folder and change Su-17 minscore = 0.3 on every loads to  minscore = 0.1, 

You should find them in the sky again !

the next iteration (probably tomorrow), you will have EWR frequencies compatible with the Mig19

It's a know bug reported to Razbam :

 

You can try 3rd solution maybe ...

The EWR frequencies are now VHF compatible with the Mig-19 and are displayed in the radio's channel list

Thank you so much!! I'll let you know if a new problem shows up. And I wanted to say, I'm really enjoying your campaigns. You all did an amazing work. I hope you guys have an awesome day!

Hi there,

I'm playing the Viper over Caucasus campaign (DCS 2.7.5, latest scripts) and noticed that the radio command to get the whole package to RTB doesn't work. I tried both radios, then F10, F4 but what was left of the package just kept flying the route. I can get my wingmen to fly back the usual way. Is there anything special I need to do to get the package to RTB?

 

 

Also I have an idea / suggestion: can you please add options like "package sead rtb", "package strike rtb" etc, to get only part of the package to rtb? I was in a strike mission (1 strike and 2 escorts) where we encountered a Russian strike and escort package directed our way so we had to fight it out. In this case the right thing to do is to send our strike home, and the escorts remain to fight it out. I can't send the whole of my package home else I'll get killed

 

I think I found the problem(s):

1) In AddCommandRadioF10.lua, the to/from waypoints are mixed up

2) the RTB command cannot work for escorts. In CustomTaskScript the CustomeSearchThenEngage function is applied continuously and the comment says that when this is true, the group cannot receive waypoint actions. I don't know enough about lua scripting, but if someone can tell me how to stop a script I can modify AddCommandRadioF10.lua to make it work for escorts too

 

I have also added F10 options to get strike or SEAD only packages to RTB - see attached.

I tested it and as far as I can tell it works

@Miguel21, if it's useful feel free to use it as you see fit

Very  thank´s

How do I remove a player's target waypoint? I would like to remove the player's target waypoints as well as the AI, since the squadron still flies to the target waypoints after firing the standoff missiles.

 

The reason I am asking this is: I made a Syria mission with about 140 SAMs, and the only way to clear this mission is to destroy the SAMs with an AGM-154A. But now DCE's script handles ASM missiles as pinpoint attacks, so the SAM is not properly destroyed. So I modified the ATO_Generator file to make the ASM missile do a CAS attack, and the missile flies to the SAM unit and destroys it successfully, but instead the squadron flies to the target waypoint. In conclusion, what I would like to ask or suggest is how to enable ASM missiles to attack individual units or remove target waypoints from CAS. Please help me.

nice work @bonfor

I will add your changes in the next package

To stop a task, I think you have to use resetTask(), but I don't guarantee that it works (see "function CustomRejoin(FlightName)")

remove a waypoint: too complicated

modify the behavior of the ASMs: we have to see, but this is still a part of the script that is not easy, modifying it can have repercussions on all the ASM weapons used by the other planes

Thanks @Miguel21. It looks like resetTask() works. Updated script attached - I tested on the 1st Viper over Caucasus mission and now when I send the "all RTB" command the escort also goes back to base. Maybe have a look that I haven't done anything stupid before you merge it....

thanks again @bonfor
Personally, I don't have the time to test your modifications/corrections, but I trust the community to tell us if it's buggy^^

I'll add it in the release too

Thanks again ^^

For your information, here is an idea of the future release:

 

Quote

==:20.47.121:==
113 -fixed: the position of the templates is bad when moving
114 -mod: display of flight information (MP)
115 -fixed: AI plane landing after spawn in air (MP)
116 -fixed: the group frequency of Mig19 is incompatible and blocks the loading of the mission
117 -fixed: no EWR freq for Mig19
118 -fixed: RTB doesn't work (thanks @Bonfor)
119 -added: get strike or SEAD only packages to RTB (thanks @Bonfor)
120 -fixed: transport aircraft do not land at the destination base
121 -fixed: RTB's escorte doesn't work (thanks @Bonfor)

In relation to the bombing of the map object, it is recorded as dead in the game log and graphically destroyed, but it is not recorded as destroyed in DCE. Is this an issue with DCS itself?

[Miguel21]

wich campaign ?

what target ?

what object

 

thanks.

[gregfp66]

Are there any tutorial or guide to create your own campaign?

[PB0_CEF]

Well not really ... there are lot of tips in this forum and one old tutorial in french but not an english one sorry

 

Tips for DCE_Manager installation and use for French :

 

I really want to detail the use of each file in the Init folder but time is missing ...

Well this is really an old tutorial : https://www.dropbox.com/s/masv61iexlfirp7/Guide DCE-v1.pdf?dl=0

 

Many things changed but maybe looking a new campaign you should be able to find useful things in this tutorial ... I will have to update it one day
