Saving weapon profile

[steve_giraffe]

Hi

 

I can adjust my profile on route to a target for say Mk 82's and I save what I change.

Can these new profiles be saved so i can load them everytime I start a mission so i dont have to do them all the time?

 

Thanks

If you've created the mission, provided you have not pressed (Prepare mission) before, yes you can.

 

Open the mission or create a new one. Set an A-10C in the air, skill>player, put the weapons you need in the loadout page, then press <Prepare mission>

 

DO NOT press YES to save changes if it prompts. Press No. This will load the mission and you are now in the cockpit. Do your DSMS stuff, then press pause on the keyboard. Then press ESC> QUIT.

 

This will take you back to the editor. DO NOT TOUCH YOUR AIRCRAFT SYMBOL OR CHANGE WAYPOINTS.

 

Save the mission in My Missions using a different name.

 

Go out to desktop, open temporary windows folder, delete DCS (Usually with FXSAPIDLOGFILE is there too).

 

Now go inside DCS World and open the mission from Mission (not editor), where the briefing appears. Press fly immediately without touching MISSION PLANNER. Voila.

 

Note, this applies ONLY to this mission, not any other mission file.

After preparing and saving profiles for a specific loadout you can copy them to the miz file, with a little trick.

When you open a "prepared" mission file (miz) with 7-zip or similar, not sure win explorer works, there are folders inside. One should be DSMS copy this to your miz file and you have the profiles like done in preparation. Take care the loadout matches the profiles before copying.
