DaleHawerchuk Posted April 30, 2024 Posted April 30, 2024 I am trying to put together a complex MP mission involving AAR. I play with a group of various level DCS players and I would like to include a "skip refuel" option similar to what some campaigns include. Is it even possible? Here is what I tried: Set Command task in one of the client A/C for unlimited fuel, conditional to Flag 1 being ON Add a radio item in F10 menu, "Skip Refuel" w/ a link to Flag 1. Am I doing something wrong? Any better idea if even possible?
TEMPEST.114 Posted May 1, 2024 Posted May 1, 2024 Not possible. You can't toggle the unlimited fuel/invulnerability cheat codes on/off during the mission. You have to have them set prior to mission running in the Mission Editor. Just do a training op to get your noobs up to scratch on tanking; it's not hard. Do close formation work first.
DaleHawerchuk Posted May 1, 2024 Author Posted May 1, 2024 That's what I thought. I know, they need to step up their game. 1
Exorcet Posted May 1, 2024 Posted May 1, 2024 They're going to have to switch slots. Mission Start > Slot in to plane at airport > Fly to tanker > Exit slot to despawn plane and then respawn in the air in predesignated slots. This disallows choosing weapons/livery though.

And could give them a free reload. tut tut... lol

I think DML has a tool to penalize slot swapping so maybe that could be setup to prevent it after the first time?

PhantomHans Posted May 20, 2024 Posted May 20, 2024 Is there a way to script a refill under applicable conditions rather than to toggle on unlimited fuel? For example to say: 1. Player AC is within 0.3nm of tanker. 2. Player AC has extended the fuel probe or opened the receptacle doors. 3. Player AC may now do F10 -> "Fill Tanks", to set a 100% fuel load, and continue flying the same aircraft, with limited fuel. I'm hoping there's a way to script this, I'm playing single player and looking for fun and entertainment, not frustration. More Cowbell VF-84 Tomcat Skins!
