darkman222 Posted 21 hours ago Posted 21 hours ago As title says. It would be very helpful on servers where you respawn a lot to have it already loaded. So you'd only have to press the MFD buttons once in the jet instead of browsing through files on th HDD via the DTC menu. As soon as DCS sees a default.dtc file it loads it. If it does not find it the behavior stays as we already have it. For people who like to browse through menus
rob10 Posted 15 hours ago Posted 15 hours ago (edited) You can do it. You still need to load it in the plane (i.e. for the F-18 in the MUMI page you need to press the ALR-67 OSB), but you won't have to browse and load the file everytime. However, I can't remember exactly how I set that up now, and I need to go hunting for directions and make a note of it in case I need to redo it EDIT 3: OK, change to what you desire for your "default" loadout in this file (adjust path for whichever aircraft you're after): World/coremods/aircraft/FA-18C/DTC/ALR67/CMDS_defs.lua You'll still need to load it in plane, but you won't need to browse for the file in the DTC manager. You can do the same under ..../COMM/COMM1_defs.lua and COMM2_defs.lua for Comm Presets. Can't say whether this breaks IC or not, I haven't checked. Edited 15 hours ago by rob10 1
darkman222 Posted 13 hours ago Author Posted 13 hours ago (edited) Thanks. Although I dont fly the F18 it seems to work the same in the F16. Well it does not to break IC. Thats basically the same way we had years ago, when we modified the old CMDS.lua ... before it started to break IC. I would not wonder if it starts breaking IC at some point again. It works for me, and just brings back what we already had, back then. I hope we get the functionality to set up MFD pages next. I dont mind to go through different LUA files to set stuff up. But thats clearly not desireable, and also not user friendly. Especially not because thats the reason we got the DTC. 99% of the time you want to have the same CMDS and MFD setup. That could be in the default DTC for a standard quick action public server sortie. I was quickly looking through the lua files if I could find something to change the default MFD setup- but that does not seem to be integrated yet. Not even in the LUA files.
