  1. So I updated to the latest version of the Launcher and now all my presets are broken, my VR no longer works. Anyone got issues getting WMR OpenXR to work using current version of Skatezilla's launcher? Pretty disappointed that updating from an old version to this version broke everything.
  2. Is there a way to update the app to add all the modules that have come out recently? AH64D, South Atlantic etc etc.
  3. I would also like to have this feature added. Really not sure why it isnt in there by default to be honest.
  4. Is there an OvGME mod pack for this? The zip file doesnt seem to work with it.
  5. +1 This is pretty fundemental oversight by ED. Please fix this ED, it is a gaping hole in this new capability.
  6. Is there somewhere i can get a Tacview model for the T-45?
  7. +1, rather than having it just set to unlimited, having the ability to set it to 200%, 500% etc would also be a great feature.
  8. I think its a great idea. I would recommend having categories for realistic, fun, personalized or something to that affect so people could opt in to see peoples personalized skins, fun (think hello kitty) and realistic (some of the skins currently made by moders that are crazy realistic). +1 from me.
  9. The Connect by IP button has been with us for many years in DCS. I think a great addition to this feature would be the ability to add the Connect by IP addresses you enter into your favorites list. A tickbox or something. I think it would be extremely helpful.
  10. How does one become a member of the closed beta to help fine tune the aircraft?
  11. DDC2 2.0j Stable Release is out Fixed Reboot issues with Multi-Instance
  12. DDC2 2.0c Stable Release is out Multi-Instance support tested and operational
  13. DDC2 2.0 is currently in the works and will hopefully be released in the next week or so baring any major bugs. Notable improvements are: - Support for Multi-Instances - Discord message Text to SRS Radio Speech - Many more commands - Complete Node-Red Flow re-write - Config now stored outside of the Node-Red Flow for easy updating System Requirements: - DCS Server System Requirements - PowerShell 7.x + Hope to have a video or two showing the new features and the updated installation information.

  14. Hi mate, Sorry for the late reply. Instances arent currently supported yet but they are on my list of stuff to work out. It is a ways down the list though.
  15. OK, I have been able to repeat. I used the same trk/miz file in the original message. To repeat Start mission: Set First waypoint (one from the Mission Editor) to a specific altitude. For my example i set it to 4160, i then set a second waypoint further way at 10,000, a 3rd at 8,000 and finally a fourth (and final) at 1000. Once this is done, when the aircraft finishes waypoint 4 the aircraft will orbit waypoint 4 at waypoint 1's altitude of 4160.
  16. I recall being in a mission once that did this but can't remember which mission it was. Is there a way to remove weapons from an aircraft if it is not whitelisted. As the Warehousing system doesn't really have any interaction worth a damn I want to be able to dynamically ban / lock weapons if they are being over used in a mission.
  17. Thnx to Shadowze and Wingthor from the Moose Discord for the help while I learn LUA. - Added an array of strings to blacklist against the save function - Added Debug to show / hide messages while testing (can be turned off and on) - Added Unit and Group count when saving file - Added Support for scripted units to be saved as well (can be turned off and on) - Bug - Cant delete file when no groups are being saved (thus resetting the persistence). Not sure if this is an issue with DCS or Moose at this point. --[[simple Group Saving by Pikey May 2019 (Updated by OzDeaDMeaT September 2020) Usage of this script should credit the following contributors: Pikey, Speed & Grimes for their work on Serialising tables, included below, FlightControl for MOOSE (Required) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTENDED USAGE DCS Server Admins looking to do long term multi session play that will need a server reboot in between and they wish to keep the Ground Unit positions true from one reload to the next. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- USAGE Ensure LFS and IO are not santitised in missionScripting.lua.

  18. Thanks for the Script Fargo. With a little help from the from AEF Zyfr and Wingthor from Moose I managed to get it working.
