ADHS Posted October 5, 2022 Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) Hello. Is there anykind of option/setting, that doesn't allow me to jump from a plane/helicopter, in a vehicle in MP? Settings: Tactical Commander x 2 for Blue and Red, Plilot can control vehicles, Player can drive. I only can, if i select role and choose a Tactical Commander slot. Thank you.

If i understand you correctly, this is how it is supposed to work, as in you will have to change slot to be able to manually drive a vehicle, you cannot as far as i know jump from an aircraft seat to a vehicle one on the fly, resloting and choosing a Tactical Commander, JTAC or Game Master will be the only way to get yourself into a vehicle.

You can. You can select a vehicle from the F10 map and press Alt+J and you will enter the vehicle while the AI will fly your aircraft. Switching back can be done the same way without changing slots, at least in SP. On 10/5/2022 at 8:21 AM, ADHS said: Hello.

In the menue where you can select how many roles (Game master, Tactical commander etc.) the option "player can drive" or similar does that for you. Enabling that option will allow you to join a vehicle while you are in an aircraft. But I'm not sure if that's also the case for MP, but it definitly is that for SP. Just tried it in MP, unfortunately, this method does not work there anymore, only in SP. Edited October 9, 2022 by razo+r 1 2

Yes this is the only way that i've found. No matter what the advertisement promissed, you CAN'T just switch in MP mode. Thank you for your reply my friend. razo+r Just tried it in MP, unfortunately, this method does not work there anymore, only in SP. I've tried all the settings, but it doesn't work in MP.

Callsign112 Posted October 10, 2022 Posted October 10, 2022 Is that Toploader? Not sure this will be any help, but when you say MP I understand you mean joining a public MP server. You might get better help by directing your questions specifically to the server admins. I know there are a lot of issues/differences between SP and MP use of Combined Arms, but it would likely have something to do with server-side setting if it is possible at all. This is what the product description says: "DCS: Combined Arms gives you control of ground forces during the battle. Use the Command Map to move ground forces, set artillery fire missions, and control the ground battle. Assume the role of a Joint Terminal Attack Controller (JTAC) in multiplayer and designate targets for player-controlled close air support aircraft, or directly control armor vehicles or air defense weapons and engage the enemy. Play DCS: Combined Arms as a real time strategy game, a first person armor warfare game, or direct the ground battle from the cockpit of a DCS aircraft like the A-10C Warthog, Ka-50 Black Shark, or P-51D Mustang." My interpretation of the product description is that there is a server-side setting which allows you to designate targets for player-controlled aircraft while you occupy a JTAC slot, assuming the public server is running Combined Arms. But if you host a mission for lets say 10 of your friends, I believe it is possible to allow the people joining you to switch from aircraft to ground vehicles. 1
ADHS Posted October 11, 2022 Author Posted October 11, 2022 (edited) Callsign112 Thank you very much for your reply in details. Haven't tried JTAC, but i will as i agree with your interpretation. I will report the results. Thank you for your time my friend. PS: All testings have done online in my own Multiplayer (non Public) server no scripts / no mods. Nothing in settings/Advanced settings, regarding restrictions for CA. Edited October 11, 2022 by ADHS 1 Democracy was already invented, while Scrat was eating oak fruits.

Of what i understood, is that if you take the JTAC role you can cooperate with others that are flying.
