<t> Fuel isn't kept track of at bases, therefore landing at an LZ structure or any other airfield would always refuel the craft. I would suggest using a cargo mission, which would not require a structure to land. The helicopter will deliver the cargo, touch down to drop off, and will not refuel.<br ...

<t> AG aircraft should show relative range of mission, based the hardcoded flight profile. Yes, AA missions usually show a range plus a time on station. It's not ideal for everyone I feel. There have been other threads expressing requests for improved fuel planning, hopefully to be put in the long ...

Oh, btw, I forgot to address your q about special actions. Yes, to give "on demand" ability to display translated scenario description and side briefing, use special action for each and use the language assist KeyVar to call SE_SpecialMessage with the appropriate language.

<t> Good topic,<br/>
<br/>
I would have an event launch as soon as the scenario starts which determines the desired language assistance. I'd use either use SpecialMessage and then InputBox SE functions to display options and ask for the language, or perhaps even SE_MsgBox and ask if Spanish (in ...

<t> I haven't tried it out at pier, but does anyone notice if damage repair occurs faster at pier than while at sea? i understand this might get into scopes outside of CMANO, super long term scenarios where IRL it might take weeks/months to repair fully. Interesting to see if a Midway class CV can ...

MSC, issue 6a is specific to CWDB, and when I tested your specific reported issue, I tested DB3K only. So, I would speculate that there may be a problem with all CWDB mines.

you can go into scenario mode, and edit cargo. I have a test scenario with an ARG and an MEU setup (still need to open many cargo DB requests, to get it right). Let me know if you would like me to post it.

Post it or send me the scenario in pm, I'll take a look.

<t> Well, if you can dock, you can load/unload cargo. Besides not being able to be setup in the database, I'm not sure if sub operations are coded to unload while at sea. I suppose like any ship, the sub could beach itself, but a few bugs with that mentioned on the cargo issues thread I opened. SE ...

<t> Np, you only learn from trying and failing - I've pulled plenty of hair out the last few days working on my Cruise Missile ToT mod. All of the prototypes were working great, at one point, I had over 100 tomahawks flying in a gentle 2nm radius loiter pattern over my task force waiting to begin ...

The ability to transport (land, airdrop) actual units is something I'd love to see one day. IE so I can place a unit near an military base for example, and then tell it to board an aircraft or a ship at that base. But I do understand it ...

That appears to be a beta function, not currently available. It's complaining that it has no idea of the function you are calling, not complaining of the parameters. But, in regards to your Parms, for the unit selector, you need name AND side, or just guid.

<t> Doug, this will do it<br/>

<r> I guess the above post needs to add 10xMk83 and 10xMk82 capability as well. <br/>
<br/>
Although it is a F-18a-d, not a super hornet, this photo implies that F-18 can also do away with the center drop tank and have another dual-rack of bombs (looks like Mk82s to me, but 2x 1000 pounders would ...

<t> Impressive loadout - for the F-35, we may have to wait to see an actual photo, even though its wetpoints can technically support the weight for the same amount of ordinance - I suppose it would need the software to send targeting info and release commands for that exact amount of weapons - I don ...

<t> Haha - looks like I bit off more than I can chew. I thought the current Strike Mission Planner already took weapons loadout into consideration when plotted the course, but it does not appear to. Even aircraft with standoff weapons are plotted to go straight over the target at point blank range ...

There is no SE_AddShip function, only the generic ScenEdit_AddUnit function. It can add anything.

<r> Thx Butch - I'll take a look at it when in front of pc. Coordinating exact weapon strikes (jdam, CBU, Jassm, etc) should be quite doable as well. The only limitation I see is taking complete control of altitude and speed - the unit.course data only stores lat/long, not speed/altitude waypoints ...

Any idea when there will be some additional LUA from the beta doc page will be added to the general release? I just learned of the beta page, and am looking forward to the things I'm seeing there.

<t> I;m trying to define my own courses, which involve lat/long way points, but also speed and altitude changes which can be bound with those waypoints. If I look at unit.course, I can see a table of lat/longs for the heading, but I don't know where altitude and speed changes per waypoint are stored ...
