Actually, that would be nice.. Somehow, if you take a look at the scripting done for the mission in the Campaign "THE SHORE" - look at the mission THE SHORE 04 - Somehow the mission creator implemented some triggers and scripts to mimic the Recon part - I am trying my best to make sense of the flags and triggers and everything else, and am having some tough times with creating my own missions ... I am actually making a mission where the player(s) (mutliplayer and single player) are assisting a defecting flight ... and part of it is some player controlled KA-50s must do RECON reporting...

Lol.. wow I feel silly!

http://merc-clan.com/market/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_5&products_id=1 Hurry up guys, only 2 left in stock. I suppose they are on clearance for a nice $11.7 million Please don't ask how I came across this... lol .. I seriously do.not.know. *edit* I also found our beloved Black Shark http://merc-clan.com/market/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_4&products_id=3 This must be a gag site.. hmm.. may email them just to inquire..

I use to have a nice setup here - eyefinity display @ 6480x1080 and 2 'crossfired 2gb 6950's ... I had to get funds together for my father's chemo meds - it was totally worth it for me - and in the meantime, I am running an onboard HD4290.. DCS runs like a slideshow (or should I say it walks lol).. with everything turned down and on it's lower res - coming from the surround / eyefinity 3 screen setup to this, was unpractical.. I just can't do it.. and it wont do it lol So hopefully in a month or two I can buy another 6950 or it's nvidia's equivalent. I do have two 4650s with 512mb - and I popped them in and both are bad cards. I get garbled characters at bios post and the cards installed separately make the system BSOD at boot.. So, maybe I can focus on building some good missions in the meantime. You guys are lucky! My old man and I literally never exit the sim and he's not all tech savvy, and I got him hooked on it.. lol Cant wait to come back! Would anyone have any alternatives (cheap, I may add) that I can use in the time being or have any recommendations on a cheap'er video card?

Did you happen to change the grid from 37T to 38T? Once I flew to waypoint one - I was given the coordinates and was able to input in CDU, I changed the 37T to 38T and the convoy was approx. 30 - 40 nm away.. **Edit** Dang, Im slow

lulz.. perfect and on time

Thanks Peter for offering someone a chance to win something by being creative! I can't wait to see some results. (and I am currently operating a X52 which I love - coming from a MSsidewinder) !

One question, is the AI up to the task of navigating through the mountainside and staying somewhat low without crashing?

I am going to try to build a mission where we receive a defector and his plane (Flanker maybe).. and we A-10's have to destroy the base's defenses and offenses prior to him/her escaping.. I want to activate sam /aaa sites as the enemy starts to get word of this defector; and as the defector / and the A-10'a progress out of enemy territory... the enemy scrambles to prevent us traversing to friendlier skies.. Has this been attempted? I also wanted to build another mission that involves a captured A-10 and the pilot (single player), and escaping from the enemy base..

perfect. Thanks guys!

Hello all.. What would be the best resource to learn the basics of lua scripting and mission creation? Thanks!

If I am not mistaking, once you eject, hit esc., then you should see either "Back" or "Fly". If you choose Fly, it will allow you to respawn from you're starting position.

My mistakes.. I cant believe it was a simple overlook... in chasing down my CTDs I forgot that with the Saitek x52, I have to manually assign the axis on the control config to the throttle - in the past I carried over the previous versions key binding files by a simple replace when upgrading.. somehow over the months I forgot about it.. Since I am troubleshooting for another problem, I did not carry over the 1.0.0.7's control configs.. lol go figure I looked and looked for hours on here to be sure nothing changed.. lol Anywho, thank you for the fast reply for help. :thumbup:

After since migrating to 1.0.0.8, I've been having a few issues. These issues made me reformat the PC and reinstall everything on it, including a new download of the full 1.0.0.8 installation. When trying a cold ramp start, I cannot proceed to start any engine. I've checked the key bindings [right-alt] + [home].. etc and in game it's shown as the correct binding, even when cleared and redone - I bind the same keys as default just to be sure the keyboard and pc is recognizing the keys. I've made sure to keep the throttle in the idle position on the joystick (X52)... I even tried it in different positions, and even unplugged it. I follow the startup checklist and even searched for user made ones to be sure nothing's changed in 1.0.0.8. I have not edited any lua files - and this is the 3rd fresh install of 1.0.0.8 since yesterday. Maybe I am doing something wrong? For now, I have to start in the air or runway. The main cause of the reformat + so many new installations, is because I am trying to chase down random crash to desktops. Anywho, thanks for any insight :)
