Xxx Posted June 6, 2020 Posted June 6, 2020 (edited) Hi DCS 2.5.6 release. During training mission "Data Link and Wingmen", the ABRIS Map locked up at full zoom looking at the data link targets on the disused strip. After about 5 minutes the lock up cleared. Don't know what happened, but just thought Id mention it. Data Linked targets were not always attacked by radio command. I had to use the general order to attack targets of opportunity. The AI was a bit lazy! They would report running in, then peel away and go for a jaunt about before re running in? A.I issue? Anyway eventually they all obeyed orders and did their stuff. Had DCS since it began, so know the Black Shark and A10 well. Really like the new Shark cockpit!!! Great job! If you can fly the Shark well and the wingmen obey orders, this is a heck of a module! You could take out a division of tanks with these weapons...really impressive! Please can you make the Tarawa available for the Black Shark to take off from. Unless someone knows a way of doing this?

Blackjack_UK Posted June 6, 2020 Posted June 6, 2020 Use a US skin or edit the description file to include USA? The you have an American Ka-50 which can use American assets... Or have I missed something? Oh, and our wingamn's AI should actually be called AS for Artificial Stupidity. Because they are as dumb as rocks. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

The mission I made originally used the Harrier from the Tarawa. I substituted the Harrier (UK skin, UK side) for the Black Shark. No joy with starting from the Tarawa, each selection automatically jumped to the nearest airfield. I'll try a US skin. But I would have thought any "blue" (allied) unit should be able to use a blue asset carrier. My next project is to do a red side mission. So should be able to use a Russian skin, Red side, from the Kutznetzov? Ha! Yes copy the A.I. "intelligence". Funnily enough, I played the mission through several times tonight and the AI did as they were told 75% of the time. The recce and "attack data link target" is a powerful feature. When it works it's very good. The choice of target, targets and targets of same type is a bit confusing, but "targets" seems the best option. Anyway, the new HD cockpit is superb and has revitalised my interest in the Shark. I'd forgot how to sneak about the battlefield, between trees and buildings. When it first came out, DCS had trees you could shoot through....not any more! Cheers.

Blackjack_UK Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 There's a nice UK skin on the downloads section (though I say so myself). About to be joined by a desert one. And an arctic one if I can make it look right... I'll have a mess around later - thinking about it I'm not sure I've ever been able to make a ship (or oil rig) the takeoff point... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
