Just came across this. Without intentionally disparaging anyone else, this is the best tutorial I’ve come across, I’ll be looking at your others on other topics, as well.
I just wanted to create a simple mission and this was just what the doctor ordered. Thanks!
Thank you for this video, Robert. I finally learned how to create several objects at a time on the map rather than having to create them one by one. I studied your course of videos on the Su 25-T and learned how to do a whole lot there, including how to land. Please keep up the good work.
Great to hear! Thanks for the kind words and I look forward to bringing you more informative as well as entertaining content.
Thank you for this basic but very clear tutorial. I myself am fairly new to DCS, and I have to admit that editor put me off a bit, especially the UI, so tutorials like this are very welcome. Thanks again, keep them coming! :) Also looking forward for your P-51 series.
A trick : watch movies on kaldrostream. Been using them for watching loads of movies lately.
@Ignacio Leonardo yea, I've been watching on kaldrostream for since december myself :)
@Ignacio Leonardo definitely, been watching on kaldrostream for years myself =)
@Ignacio Leonardo yup, I have been using kaldroStream for since december myself :)
@Ignacio Leonardo Yea, I've been using KaldroStream for months myself =)
Nice job. Great in all respects - pace, detail, clarity etc. Nice to see you in screen too. Especially like that you give a short explanation of the aspects you are not going into detail about right now - build knowledge and avoids frustrations. Thanks
Great to see you back in DCS, looking forward to learning more from your great tutorials.
Thanks!
Exactly what I've been looking for. Clear and easy to understand . Wish you had add some weather. Thank you
Thanks for the video. I have seen a few vids from other people, but the way you explain it is easier to understand a complicated program. Thanks I have subscribed and will check your other vids.
Hi Robert - A real newbie here - thank you for this very helpful tutorial. Will get me going...
More like this please. Super clear and helpful. Thank you!
More DCS stuff coming soon!
Absolutely love your tutorials. I really appreciate the time and work you put into making these videos. This tutorial has definitely made the mission editor a lot more interesting after learning all the cool things you can do. I would love to see more tutorial videos on different types of navigation within aircraft (NDB, RSBN, ILS) and how to read the kneeboard, and also how to use RWR systems effectively, as well as choosing the right armaments for a loadout. Anyway just some ideas for topics I haven't seen too many other youtubers cover yet.
Nice and easy explanation I could never have understand without you Thanks Brother.
Hey Robert - THANK YOU for this most excellent tutorial. Great explanations, calm voice. Perfect combination.
Now that's how to do a tutorial, clear & concise
Great introduction mate. I would love some more of these.
I definitely need to get back to the mission editor tutorials! Been busy with other things. I have these in my production list though, just keep an eye out!
Thank you, for someone very and I mean very new to DCS this was timely and extremely useful and also your delivery and explanations were imo top drawer. I am trying to get to grips with the A10C also and have been delaying a move into the mission editor but this has given me a great start. I personally would like more on the construction planning of missions cos I have read that this is a science all to itself!
Another new pilot here, Thanks a lot !!!
Great video! I learned a lot
Let's take out the command post first...hahaha!! OMG that was funny. On a serious note thanks for the information. :)
You're welcome! :D
Dude you have me with your training videos a couple of months when I just started running a low end system with an i32400. I got so interested after that I bought a gaming system. Now I’m trying to create training maps my myself. Thx for all the help 👍🏻
Happy to hear!!
Thank you Robert, this is really helpul. Very clear and most informative.
Thanks for this tutorial Robert, keep em coming. Hoping to see some Harrier tutorials also. :)
Eventually! :D
Nice. Well Explained. thank you for the help.
Thanks for this. I have owned DCS World (purchased a few aircraft) content probably for almost 6 years and I checked and saw I have almost 15 minutes of playtime (based on STEAM). I own the A10, Combined arms, F15, Some Mig... so it isn't just the basic game, but I opened this maybe 4 times and apparently must not have made it through the menu. I am a single player guy, love aviation, but the menu to this game and how to get single player working just annoyed me. I guess i should have looked for a tutorial like yours all this time. Anyway, if I can get some extra time away from X Plane 11 I definitely want to give this a fair shot finally. Thanks for the tutorial.
Great tutorial. Also, you can see you position on your kneeboard using right-control k.
Excellent information with regards to the kneeboard! Learn something new every day. :)
This was really great thank you. If you decide to do more to help grow complexity id watch them. Great delivery and pace
Thank you! I've been neglecting the mission editor tutorials lately and need to make some more. Coming soon!
Excellent tutorial! Thanks!
Superb tutorial. Thanks
Great help Robert. many thanks
I like your tutorials and would like to see more " Mission Editor", with an increasing complexity - still single player but starting with an AI Wingman, for example.. Thanks, Pete.
Well Explained. thank you for the help
Thanks man. Your videos are a awesome help!
Thank you so much for your time and effort
Nice shot. I saw nothing lol. This video helped me out alot. want to just learn how to fly the 18 before I hit any muliplayers.
Nice tutorial. Thanks for making it. :)
very useful video thanks
THKS MAN I SUBBED AN LIKED ALSO WATCHING UR LIVESRREAMS THATNKS AGAIN U SAVED ME
Fantastic.. Thank you for this..
New tutorials coming in the next few days! Glad you found the updated one. :)
Hi Rob you are very informative learning a lot some people rush through and jump around the screen clicking buttons very fast and even going back over it I am still confused. Or they mumble but you certainly don't miss the fine details. Great Instructor. Can you explain what the different shortened meanings of the (CAP) and others in mission editor are. Or if you have already point me to the video. Thanks again I wish you well.
How do you keep the vehicles from moving around once you start attacking. Just started flying in dcs and would like to make some target ranges. For right now I would like to keep them stationary instead of moving when one of em gets hit. Also like your SU-25T series, really helped me a lot.
This is the Only tutorial on learning how to use the mission editor it's simple, concise and very easy to understand thank you so much. however how do you remove a mission after having made mistakes as I did. I have 4 aircraft and I only wanted two for a training mission. do I have to go back in the mission I created and edit the extra aircraft out . If so please help.
Correction: This is the Only tutorial that I use in learning about the Mission Editor ***** thanks again.
Can you post this mission somewhere? I would like to use it as a basis and then add the aircraft I have purchased to the hangars so I can try each of them on the mission.
I really love your tutorial videos. I have watched a few numerous times and have learned a lot from them. DO you have any Tutorials about how a beginner would go about playing Combined Arms. It looked interesting and I watched some about it But Have note been able to find any really good videos covering the BASICS for a newbie just starting out in it.. Thanks in advance in case you do.
Thanks for this simple to understand tutorial. Yes I'm a newbe to dcs and want to modify some of the pre-fab missions (ie; vagas tour) to include the aircraft I own so my question is why does the AV-8B Harrier in the aircraft list say N/A. Thanks keep these tut. comming
😂😂😂 THATS HOW you to take the command post 😂😂 crashed direct into him I subbed you because of that
very good tutorial, I got a question when i place the object on the map, It is not visible when approching the target
Did you set it to "Late Start" or any of the other options? If so, it won't spawn until the time specified. Other than that, I'll need more details on how you placed the object and what its settings are to be able to help.
Thank you!
XDDD when you crashed I laughed alot
How do you integrate scripts to a mission? like CTLD and EWRS, SLMOD ect....
Is there a part 2 of this video?
Hey Robert! Rly liked your tutorial, but are there more mission editor tutorials from you? If so could you please make a playlist with them all :-)
here's a ? for anyone, I own the p-51d I tried to set up a mission according to your tutorial but when I try and select the 51 it doesn't show up on the plane list? whybwould that be?
sorry for the long winded question.
Thanks for the great tutorial! Am I mistaken that there is no part 02?
I dont see the option for take off from parking i only see the hot option
More mission tutorials!
Hannes Jonasson Soon! Recording new material for DCS as we speak. 😊
Robert Sogomonian Nice! Can't wait!
I'm not able to change paint schemes for M-2000C once I've created a mission . I must be missing something. can someone Please help. Otherwise I do pretty good in creating simple missions to practice with. your help will be greatly appreciated.
Any idea when more mission editor tutorials are coming?
Hello, nice tutorial! Can someone tell me how to spin a unit in the Editor? :o Like choose the initial direction of Movement? Thx in advance :)
The units will always point toward their first waypoint. :)
@@psyrixx Thank you very much, for the quick response :)
Nice teaching! I'm new and have been cramming all weekend. How would you fly formation with the 2nd P-51 as AI? Would you have to assign it other than Player/Client and give it the same waypoint routing? How can you time it for a formation takeoff together...."triggers?"...thanks again
If you add them into the same group, they will maintain formation and you can control them via the radio menu using "\". More mission editor tutorials coming!
OK, I'll try that out..thanks. I can control it in flight via radio commands?
@@Plydrms Yep - you should be able to select your wingmen and order them into a particular formation. The AI is ... interesting. Best to find some friends and do some real formation flying! :D
I parked my player A-10 and an AI (skill level good) each ramp hot ready to go. I gave the AI a big box pattern set of waypoints with altitude and speed, then landing. The AI plane wants to taxi to the opposite end of runway, departing from there, not the closest end. If I change the wind direction it takes off accordingly. Also, if making a straight out waypoint and returning, the AI will circle around landing into the wind?? Is there a way to control takeoff and landing directions other than changing the wind?
@@Plydrms I don't think so, but I haven't explored the possibility. In real world aviation you always land into the wind if you can help it (you get a bonus of being able to approach the runway 'slower' and more controlled flying into the wind) so it wouldn't surprise me if the simulation uses that same logic when the AI decides which direction to land.
nice video ;)
Hi Robert, do you know how to turn gear lights on the F-15C (night exterior front lights) ?
Should be either RightShift+L or RightAlt+L if I remember correctly... check the controls! They may have changed them around a bit. :)
@@psyrixx The controls say exactly that yet it's not working. Thanks anyway
@@konfinoyair Plane is started up and the electrical system is on?
@@psyrixx yes. cockpit lights work
Yair Hm, I'll check this evening when I'm home and at my computer.
I know this is over a year ago. I just got DCS and my version seems to be older than yours, 2.5.4 vs what looks like 2.5.6 in your video, just curious why? Great video BTW.
Have you run the updater recently? ;)
In all seriousness, I couldn't tell you... are you by chance running the Steam version? The standalone runs the updater every time you launch it and should update yours to the latest available.
@@psyrixx Just downloaded and installed the stand alone version and I notice it checks for updates when I run it. But still says 2.5.4 rather then 2.5.6 which is what it looks like you are running.
So I even just ran the updater and it says 2.5.4 is the latest. Are you by chance a beta version?
@@davespaige Yes, I run the open beta for the latest and greatest (but also more prone to bugs).
@@psyrixx Ok, now it makes sense. I'll think I stick with the stable release for now as I learn the product. Thanks.
I got a question.Why when i wanna enter my own plane in my own server in multiplayer it doesnt do anything?? like cant do enything when entering the plane.Do you know the reason and how to fix it?
Have you set the plane to "client" for the skill?
I just tried to set up a mission on dcs ,and after doing all as instructed on here..I now have absolutely no sound on dcs..during game play..how do i get sound back..thanks
The mission editor shouldn't have had anything to do with you losing sound... but when you're in the sim try pressing Ctrl+S, I believe that's a sound toggle. I've accidentally done that a few times while flying and wondering why my sound died -- if you pressed it in the mission editor trying to save it's possible you toggled the sound there. Let me know if this helps!
Robert, can tell you're and avid simmer. I am getting some shimmer on my Stennis carrier. Do you use reshade or nvidea inspector?
I use stock 2.5 open beta -- no mods at all, no reshade or anything like that.
Yes, better off I think. Only thing I would like to fix is for carrier ops. The Stennis in 2.5 has foam in the wake that flashes a bit when moving towards it on final approach.,,any ideas?
@@Plydrms Are you using SLI and what is your Water setting at?
SLI, as in bridging 2 video cards together?..no, and also not using VR. Does DCS world support SLI?. My water setting is high. The water looks nicer, but excess reflection contributing to shimmer I think. Do you use SLI in DCS, and you recommend? What water setting do you recommend?
@@Plydrms Yeah, try setting the water to Medium or Low just to see if it gets rid of the shimmer. If not, maybe report a bug on the DCS World forums. I do not use SLI but I have heard that since you are bridging the two cards, sometimes that can introduce a shimmer effect to the clouds (as in they flicker). Good luck!
Can the F-15C perform tasks other than Air to Air ?
No, the F-15C is a purely air-to-air fighter. You can program AI controlled F-15E aircraft to conduct bombing strikes (to the best of my knowledge, though I've never tried to set it up myself) but as for the user controllable F-15C it only has the ability to fly air combat missions.
The F-15 was designed to be a pure air superiority fighter that only combats enemy aircraft.
This was changed with the F-15E, wich is not controllable in DCS at this time.
Amigo tem algum jeito de rodar o DCS na resolução 1024x768?Eu tenho um sistema i5 12 gb memoria e uma gtx 750 e o simulador usa quase toda a memoria disponivel jogando no médio ou no low quase não faz diferença fica a uns 35 a 40 frames dando umas caidas bruscas acho que por causa da memória desde já agradeço.
Não falo português ou espanhol muito bom - deixe-me tentar ajudar com o Google Translate. O fator mais importante parece ser o seu disco rígido, ter um SSD melhora muito o tempo de leitura das texturas do terreno e da aeronave, o que deve ajudar na gagueira. O resto do seu sistema parece bom para rodar em 1024x768 ... mas qual é a velocidade do seu laptop? O DCS World está vinculado à CPU, portanto a velocidade do seu processador também será um fator importante. Acredito que o SSD é mais importante para a gagueira. Certifique-se também de que MSAA, Profundidade de campo estão DESLIGADAS e as sombras são FLAT. Esses também parecem melhorar o desempenho.
@@psyrixx
The problem is that the option for 1024x768 is not available on the simulator but I am grateful for the tips, buddy, I will try, really my hd is not a very good hug of congratulations on the channel
@@sandrogomes109 Good luck my friend! Let me know how it goes!
I b
I tried this mission again but still no sound..anyone can advise how to turn sound back on..
Did you try the suggestion I gave you in my reply to your other comment?
Do terénu se vloží například auto. Je možné se dostat na mapu a posouvat oběktem? Myslím že dříve v Lock on to šlo. Dnes Je to moc zdlouhavé vytvořit misi. Znáte tento způsob? děkuji
Using Google Translate I think you're asking if you can get into vehicles and drive them around yourself? I'm sorry if that is not what you're asking, but I don't speak Czech.
If you have DCS: Combined Arms you can drive tanks and other military units around and use them in ground battles, but I don't believe you can drive cars yourself. If you want to create a waypoint for the car, you should be able to do that and then cycle through units in the mission using the F7 key until you are viewing the car you placed with an external camera, then follow it around that way but I don't think you can take control of the car itself and drive it around.
If I answered the wrong question, try saying it a different way and I'll see if it helps me understand what you're trying to ask. Or if there are any Czech speakers reading the comments that can translate this to English better than Google can, please let me know! Thanks.
I was looking for part 2 then I realized there isn't one. :(
Coming soon, the mission editor tutorials are hard to put together.
First of all: SHOW US THE CAT
Maybe in the next video we'll see the cat!
Please go and feed your cat :)
Her bowl was full! And fresh water! She's just mad that she can't record for RUclips.
