Setting up a mission with lots of possible player AC and I want to give all AC the same radio setup on a per plane type. So F18s might have comm1 channel 1 127 and channel 2 288 etc.

 

Is there an easy way besides editing every single AC to get this done :helpsmilie:? I know each AC type will need a setup - This mission will primarily be f18s and f14s so I want to setup the radios for all AC the same per type.

If you have the mission already made, then no, the only way is editing each aircraft manually.

 

BUT, for future missions, you can setup a Static Template with one sample of each aircraft, that one sample with the radios fully setup to the frequencies you want. For example, I have this template for my Caucasus missions:

After loading the template I just copy-paste the aircraft types that I need, for example this is the Mirage:

And this is the F-18:

After I'have copied as many units as I need, I delete the template units, save the Mission and then proceed to edit whatever else the mission needs.

 

Cheers

You can set up a standard set of radio frequency assignments like the one attached. Using a program like WinRAR you can then search the .miz file for the radio presets and cut/replace them with your .txt file presets. Should be somewhat less laborious than editing each AC in the ME.

@Rudel_CHW - Thank you for the template suggestion. Would you be able to post your template file? I'd like to take a look at how templates work and it would be helpful to see one configured.

 

 

 

@Habu - Thank you for that suggestion to search and replace. That is definitely what I will need to do this time. When I open the miz file, it isn't readable text. Witht the attached file, do I search and replace that whole block? Do I have to use WinRaR or can I use Notepad ++? Have you had any issues with doing this?

Sure, here it is .. the STM file goes on /Saved Games/DCS/StaticTemplate ... the Excel file has the documentation of what each frequency is for.

 

 

If you edit a mission outside of DCS, using WinRAR or similar, create a copy of the Mission first, just in case the manual edit goes wrong.

@Nagilem. I use WinRAR, so am only familiar with it. I suspect WinZIP functions similarly. You can open the .miz file to see file structure, then extract and open the "mission" file to readable text with Notepad++ (free program -- Do NOT use Notepad). Search and replace the blocks of text with the radio freqs. Re-zip the .miz file
