mytai01 Posted June 17, 2018 Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) I'm pretty bummed that it is so complicated just to set up a SAM site in DCS. Don't real SAM sites have organization and Tables of Organization & Equipment (TO&E)? Why is it not intuitive in the game controls on how to setup a working SAM site, or any other unit? At least make it where I can make a Unit of any size organization and add equipment to that unit. I could drop equipment on the map and select them and ADD to Unit (Platoon) or something. This has gotten way to complex to make units and missions. It seems that it takes a huge book to make any good mission. IMO, this is a huge weakness in DCS!

feefifofum Posted June 17, 2018 Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) Difficult? 1. Place a group. 2. Include all units tagged SA-XX, or Patriot, or HAWK in the group. Include additional launchers if desired. 3. There is no step three. There is also an included template for SA-10 and Patriot sites included in the base installation.

mytai01 Posted June 17, 2018 Author Posted June 17, 2018 I tried to setup an S-300 site on the Nevada map to test the EW functions of my F/A-18C. I put the CP, LN, SR, and TR. Nothing happened. Then I added ROE and such...Nothing happened. My point is that I shouldn't even be able to have this kind of problem. The UI shouldn't allow me to get messed up like this at all unless I want it that way on purpose...;) MS Win7 Pro x64, Intel i7-6700K 4.0Ghz, Corsair RAM 16Gb,EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 FTW GAMING ACX 3.0, w/ Adjustable RGB LED Graphics Card 08G-P4-6286-KR, Creative Labs SB X-FI Titanium Fatal1ty Champ PCIe Sound Card, Corsair Neutron XTI 1TB SSD, TM Warthog Throttle & Stick, TM TPR Pedels, Oculus Rift VR Headset CV1, Klipsch Promedia 4.1 Speakers...
Mars Exulte Posted June 17, 2018 Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) Yep. You need one command vehicle, one search and/or track radar, and then however many launchers. Place them relatively close together, and all in the same group. If desired set a ROE or Alert status. All there is to it. -edit set Alert status to red, which basically means predeployed. SAMs do not magically appear ready to fire, they have set up times, potentially 30 minutes or more. If you just place them on the map they are in travel state, and will begin setting up once stationary or an enemy is detected. This does not happen instantly, so yes, if you fly overhead and wave nothing will happen. Basically, you're using default behavior, which is ready to move. If you want them active immediately, they must be set as such. -edit Yes, not knowing what you're doing and/or not reading the manual tends to cause this sort of thing. It is not ED's fault you didn't read how to use the editor. Edited June 17, 2018 by zhukov032186 Де вороги, знайдуться козаки їх перемогти. 5800x3d * 3090 * 64gb * Reverb G2

I had to find videos on youtube that explained how to set them up. There are very good tutorials on youtube.
