Oh, thanks for that Maverick87Shaka. I totally missed that one. At least I now know.

I have not been hosting a DCS server for some time, I think the server was running 2.7 when I was last hosting. It used to run 9 instances named slot1 through slot 9 with the relevant config files under "Saved Games". I started the same old server after a long gap, patched to v2.8 two or three weeks ago and restarted the server, so it ran the same script as previously which would start SRS Server then each slot one at a time with like a 50 second pause between them. All looks fine but after about 15 or 20 minutes four of the instances would stop with a message "Login session has expired". I have since updated to v2.9 and still get the same issue, even after adjusting the script to run the multi-threaded version. It also behaves the same if I run all 9 sessions from shortcuts. Below is an example command line. "C:\Games\DCS World\bin-mt\DCS.exe" --server --norender --force_disable_VR -w Slot1" I can provide more info if required, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing something stoopid in the first instance. I did a search before posting. One thing to check was disabling any VPN, which I do not run. If feels like I need a new parameter like "--maxsessions=9" or some such, but I can't see that mentioned, unless I missed it. Cheers in advance.

Thanks a million Stang.

Hi there, I hope this is not too off topic. If it is if a moderator wants to move it or delete it that's fine, I can't think of anywhere else to ask this. I am desperately trying to get my account (Darkfury) activated on the hornetpits.org forums. I am trying to build an F/A-18 home cockpit and I have been trying for a very long time to get access to the forums as I am sure there is a wealth of information there to help me. I get no reply to my registration application, nor did I get a response to my facebook messages. Feel free to PM me with any suggestions if you don't want to post in this thread, I would be very grateful. In the first instance I am looking for panel files that I can cut with my K40 laser, if anyone has those available. Cheers, Darkfury

If you use Skatezilla's awesome launcher you can swith between Beta and Release at the click of a button without having both installed. If you pick the other option to the one you have installed, it will just update the files it needs, generally takes less than 5 minutes for me. Up to you but its an alternative for waiting "month after month" when you list disk space as the reason.

Thanks a ton Grimes. At least I know I am not doing anything wrong. They are all in the same group. Damn that current limitation! I will amend my mission to either separate them, or skip that bit. Thanks doodenkoff for trying to help as well!

Apologies, this is probably a dumb question. It's my first DCS script I am trying, let alone MIST. I just want to output a different message to two pilots for a training mission. Whatever I seem to do, both client aircraft receive both messages despite them being called 'Pilot01' and 'Pilot02' and using the below code. Mist is running at startup and I get no errors so I think all is well with that. Maybe I have a scope problem? I don't yet have my head around scoping in DCS or LUA. Any ideas? This is in DCS 1.5.8 latest build. local msg = {} msg.text = 'Your callsign for this sortie is COLT 1-1' msg.displayTime = 10 msg.msgFor = {units = {'Pilot01'}} mist.message.add(msg) local msg = {} msg.text = 'Your callsign for this sortie is COLT 1-2' msg.displayTime = 10 msg.msgFor = {units = {'Pilot02'}} mist.message.add(msg)

Thanks a lot for clarifying. Thats the perfect answer! He would get bored if it was too easy :)

I seem to be spamming this Gazelle forum lately, apologies! Is there a known issue with multi-crew and AutoHover? If one of us jumps in a Gazelle he can AutoHover without issue. As soon as his weapons man hops in any existing AH loses automatic yaw and collective, nor does AH work after that point. Not the end of the world as it's a bit too easy with AH on maybe :) I just wondered if it was something like the radio, where the commander also has to turn on the radio before it will work even if it already looks to be turned on from the pilots point of view. Thanks in advance.

Thanks again Absha. I didn't realise it would be so different. I was picturing it as one more option on the ADF/DOP dial and somewhere to enter the ILS frequency, not a whole different cockpit :) And I will check out that LotATC, thanks for pointing it out.

Thanks all for taking the time. While the Gazelle is quite 'twitchy', with the various autopilot options on, there is no way it is the least stable of the DCS helicopters. You can adjust flight and it will return to straight and level flight at a course, speed and altitude you have selected... I believe there are IFR certified Gazelles. Just maybe not the ones modelled in the Sim. It's the landing that was worrying me without ILS, I guess I just need to raise the cloud base a bit. Very cool info Absha!

Is that ADF to get to the airbase and then go down slowly till you get to the ground? :)

Loving the Gazelle! I searched Youtube, the manual and here, so sorry if I have missed it. Am I right in thinking we cannot do IFR approaches with the models of Gazelle available to us at this time? I realise I can use ADF or waypoints for example to locate an airbase, but I was hoping to do non-visual approaches. No worries if not, it's still fantastic, I just didn't want to be not using something because I had skipped an addendum somewhere.

Ok. Sorry, it looks like it was another stoopid question! We tried SRS Intercom and it all worked fine. We are loving the Gazelle multi-crew now, thanks for the advice guys.

Sorry if this is a stupid question. My friend and I both bought the Gazelle and both jumped in the same helicopter and all looks great so far! But we can't seem to get comms between us, it even seemed to disable comms for the pilot. We normally use the awesome SRS when both flying A-10C's for example. Should we have a working Intercom? Or we can just use TS or Skype. Again, sorry if the question is stoopid!
