At this channel we look to have fun in the virtual skies whether that be in DCS World (Digital Combat Simulator), MSFS 2020 (Microsoft Flight Simulator), Thunder, Aerofly FS, FlyInside, X-Plane, Flight Simulator X, Prepar3D (P3D) or Ace Combat. We like to look at different aspects of the sim from military fast jet flying, Helicopter flying, Mission Editing and much more. All this is done using Track IR and Virtual Reality.

Very useful and much appreciated!

[@mojopy01]

was referred here by FB DCS pilots this is exactly what i was looking for thanks

[@simobbq]

This is absolutely amazing! Thanks for your video. I tried something similar with flag random value between 1 and 100 and 3 late-activated groups and give them 33% chance each of spawning but this is way more randomized! Thanks!

[@cryptombt5880]

This is a very handy technique to use in mission planning. Thanks for this mate.

[@robs3733]

Awesome ty. Hopefully this adds a bit of depth to my ah64 escort mission I'm making. Having issues with the Huey spawning to fly over an load up the escort once it gets to destination while I deal with bmps and technicals. Hopefully this helps.

thanks

[@MD92ism]

Thanks for this Video. I think there a not many good Videos about the Mission Editor. Atleast i didnt find anything like this. It helped me alot.!

[@sebywest3736]

👍👍👌👌

Ok so I’m trying to get one of 4 groups to spawn and when any of the “1,2,3,4 groups spawns I want the other/remaining 3 to cancel and not spawn. Trying different methods but no luck. Advise

[@christophermcsherry2655]

Great info, thank you. So one thing I am unclear on is what happens when a unit is spawned, what happens if/when another units flag value comes up while the first unit is still alive? Will multiple units be in the mission simultaneously? And thanks again this will take my mission making to the next level.

[@KENNYB322]

Excellent, with a message to all how would you show the value of flag.

[@KingBaldwinGamer]

Is there a way to get two different planes flying in formation like you would see at an airshow like a p51 flying in formation with an f22?

[@acrofarmer]

Anyone know if there’s a way to keep the groups to keep respawning randomly such as this after they’re destroyed?

[@maxvb9764]

Thank you. Very useful video. I got surprised by one thing: Why does the ramdom number creator trigger work switched every 60 secs? I mean, it verifies the flag 1 is ON, and then chooses a random value for flag 1. It should finish there, till you exit the zone and enter again. It does work this way if the ramdom flag value is assigned to another flag. DCS, don't know why, when flag 1 value changes, finds flag 1 ON again and activates the trigger another time. Curious behaviour.

[@michelestefanini5466]

yo man where are you?

[@craig8724]

Can you make a vid on how to implement the particular script file please. Example Group “Mig29” flies into moving zone behind tanker and the script file triggers and add fuel, because some aircraft can’t AAR had this is just for fun. Thanks

[@michelestefanini5466]

ehy, i love your videos, just wanted to ask, could you make a video about a su25A mission? been searching for those but i didn't find that much
