Complete game pause in single player mission

beppe_goodoldrebel · May 31, 2019

I'm trying to obtain a full pause to the game on mission start.

I've seen in training mission is used "X: Set Command" action with value 816.

It stops the player aircraft but not AI so you just freeze while everyone is flying.

Is there other command to achieve full time stop?

X: Set Command with Value

Command: 52

Value: -1

It works!

Where do you found all command? Sure they are interesting!

I found how to do things like this in the word document posted in this thread: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=81376

Make sure your DCS is not running.
Now you need to change a line in the file "Mission Editor.lua" which can be found in your DCS install folder here: Mission Editor/Mission Editor.lua
Open that file with Notepad++ and find and change the following value: “OPTIONS_ADD_COMMAND_CODES_TO_TOOLTIP” line from “false” to “true”.
Restart DCS and go to the Options/Controls area. Hover your mouse over the keyboard of joystick values of the command you wish to know about and a pop up will show you the command number and the values.

Everytime you update, repair or reinstall DCS, you'll have to change the Mission Editor.lua file to enable this again. It will open up a whole new world in your mission making, believe me!
