Robski Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Hi Guys, Been creating my own missions with JFAC. When I start the mission (airborne not C&D) I have the following note on my MFD - DSMS INVT CMBT. What does it mean? My DSMS also only shows red boxes where the 'munitions are loaded. I've tried using the DSMS LOAD function but to no avail. The Inventory can "read" the smart weapons, but it tells me to check loadout. How to I confirm that the weapon is correct? Also can you think of any reason this is happening to this particular mission? I fly mainly my own missions and haven't encountered this before. Anyway, Thanks in advance.

BlueRidgeDx Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 I'm not an expert on the ME, but if I recall correctly, this can happen when using the Pepare Mission feature, and then subsequently changing the loadout. DSMS is expecting the original loadout and sees an inventory mismatch. Someone more knowledgeable than I will be able to set you straight, but I think that you can delete the saved DSMS info from the uncompressed .miz file, and that should fix it. I think. I'd wait for a second opinion before i tried it though... "They've got us surrounded again - those poor bastards!" - Lt. Col. Creighton Abrams
Robski Posted August 30, 2012 Author Posted August 30, 2012 Thanks Smokey and Blue, I think you've nailed it. I was poking around with the Prepare Mission function, and have no doubt changed my load out. Is this a bug then? if not, it would be nice to know how to rectify using the onboard systems.
Robski Posted August 30, 2012 Author Posted August 30, 2012 Just to add.......I created an additional A10C complete with load out. Then changed the original plane to AI and the new a/c to Player. Exact same problem? Think I'll keep clear of the Prepare Mission Function. Strange..... Oh well, I'll just rebuild the mission. Thanks
SmokeyTheLung Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Get rid of the "prepared" aircraft entirely. I can't confirm this in the current build of the sim but in earlier versions it was possible to fix a mission after prepare mission messed it up by removing the aircraft in question System specifications: Computer, joystick, DCS world, Beer
Eddie Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Just unpack the .miz file (.miz is just a .zip file by another name), inside you'll find several files and folders. Delete the DSMS folder and then re-zip all the remaining files & folders. Then just change the file extension from .zip to .miz and you're good to go. The same method can be used to copy "prepare mission" data from one mission to another and/or manually edit the settings in notepad++ etc. All prepare mission does is create a set of .lua files that hold the settings you have configured, they can be easily edited if you want to do so.
