Neon Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Yeah on github he lists that OB2 is not ready and OB1 is no longer supported. His last update was about 24 days ago. PLEASE KEEP WORKING ON THIS!!!!! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imacken Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Excuse my ignorance on this app, but can someone tell me if it is working? When I generate a mission for the F-5E, if I load it in DCS, I just get a 'F-5E module must be installed' type error, and although the mission loads, I can't get into the cockpit.

imacken Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 What version of DCS are you running? And if you have the program working, in what folder have you installed it? I'd love to get this to work. Ok, so with further investigation, it works fine with some other modules I've tried so far, e.g. Harrier and Hornet. Only the F-5E has caused me issues, but I'll try all the others and report back. I'm running the latest DCS OB and I just installed it to a folder off my desktop to try it out.

imacken Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 OK, so it only seems to be the F-5E module that is a problem. All my other jets/helis are OK. Haven't looked into this app in any detail, but, at first sight, it looks great. The only slight gripes are that it doesn't seem to have any WWII planes, and it would be really nice to have a 'Ready on the Ramp' option in order to not have to go through the startup sequence every time.

You must have an earlier version because the issue with the F-5E was fixed in the last working version that was published. (The older version accessed the AI F-5E in stead of the player module). Not working are the L39 Albatross and all versions of the Gazelle. I really hope we will get a new version soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

claw Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 (edited) It generates the missions ok, but are you able to actually fly them in DCS? No it doesn't. Sorry for the confusion. Yesterday I tried it out with an older mission and it worked. Now I realized I must have used the mission editor to change the F-5 into the right one. When I generate a new mission it doesn't work. My bad! (using the mission editor is pretty erratic, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't) Edited September 20, 2019 by claw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

claw Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Thanks for clearing that up. So what about the updated version you mentioned yesterday? Is that available somewhere? Sorry but there is no updated version. Because HQ4DCS has no version numbers it is hard to see what version you have. I was under the impression that I had a different version because my F-5 missions are working. But that is because I altered them manually. I forgot that. Old age creeping up on me I guess. So we just have to wait for the next version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraszus Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Imacken - I guess you're stuck with creating a mission for say F-15C, opening in mission editor and changing the aircraft to the F-5, saving and running the saved mission. At least until v2 of the HQ4DCS is released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imacken Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Thanks guys, I guess editing in ME is the only way forward for the F-5E. Is the dev still active on this?

kraszus Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 The Dev apparently is working on Open Beta 2 of HQ4DCS. Not sure how far off a release is. Last commit appears to be August. https://github.com/akaAgar/headquarters-for-dcs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imacken Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Yep, but he also said it would be available in June, with worst case in July! Let's hope it does appear, as this is - potentially - an excellent utility.

kraszus Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Somewhat off-topic, but I found a tool here on the forums - Combatflite ( https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=195724 ) which I find useful with HQ4DCS. Create a mission with HQ4DCS. Save. Import mission with Combatflite - but exclude red coalition (or blue if you're sided with red). Now you can generate a mission data card (via the kneepad menu) with the benefit of having no real knowledge of red units, positions, etc other than the intel brief from HQ4DCS. Combatflite obviously has a ton of other uses too but I've really only started dipping into this tool. And on topic again, I agree. HQ4DCS is a fantastic app and I hope the dev is continuing to work on Open Beta 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidp57 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Any news on the project? Not that I know of ; last thing I know is that the author moved to a GitHub-hosted, open-source distribution which is the coolest thing he could have done ! I think it'd be nice to find someone to help him with this project. I may take a peek sometimes but not right now. Zip - VEAF :pilotfly: If you want to learn, talk and fly with french-speaking friends, the Virtual European Air Force is here for you ! Meet us on our Discord and our forum If you're a mission creator, you may want to check the VEAF Mission Creation Tools (and its GitHub repository) a set of open-source scripts and tools that make creating a dynamic mission a breeze !
