Hey Meatball,

I just installed 2.1. Love the bird, but, for some reason or another, I still don't seem to have the ability to deploy flares. Do you think this is an addon conflict problem? Thanks you for your time in advance!

Hmmmmm.... I will have to put this on my fix list. If you use Mando Missile ArmA for ArmA2
you will have flares.

Ahhh okay. I think version 1.8 had working flares, so maybe there's something that can be re-implemented from that edition? In the meantime, I will give Mando a go. Thank you again for this fantastic addon!

Hi Guys,

Is anyone else seeing the issue where the GPS\INS system is not showing up in the Avionics menu? This function is critical to my campaign, but I can't seem to work out why it is not working. GLT_missilebox wasn't updated to my knowledge, so I am not sure if it is my missions and weapons scripting or the F/A-18 addon causing the problem.

Thanks

Rough Knight.

I believe I may have removed that.... I will look into it. I have to go and run some errands, so I will check when I get home.

If you choose to use Mando's system (MMA) you will find it under Navigation (weapon) by pressing the Left Windows key. I believe this will serve the same functionality you are lookinf for. "Lemme Know"

Yes, Meatball0311..

we removed it when working on the menu system.

Hi guys, thanks for the replies and more so thanks for your hard work with this addon.

Would your plan be to keep it removed from the "Avionics" or was it an accidiental ommission. There are a lot of weapons in the GLT-Missilebox suite that are dependant on the GPS\INS targeting system i.e: GLT_Moabs,
GLT_GBU39, GLT_GBU53 etc.

I will just have to make MMA an addon requirement if you decide to leave the GPS/INS system out of the Avionics, so I do have aworkaround although it was nice that MMA was optional.

Thanks heaps.

No problem.. thanks for your support!

I will definitely look into adding it back in.. I think I may have taken it out because it may conflict with MMA. Mandoble, included a waypoint system in his MMA. I understand that GPS/INS system is useful for GLT-Missilebox, so I will be looking into getting it back in.

Be aware that the GPS/INS System source files aren't included in the F/A-18 but the Missilebox. So even if Meatball decides not to use it on his F/A-18, it wouldn't be "gone for all". The MOAB and other planes using the GPS/INS System will still work. You might verify this by placing a A-10 JDAM or AV-8B JDAM Version which are part of the Missilebox.

Cool, that is awesome news Meatball. By the way I am getting this error occasionally with the F/A-18, I am not sure if you are aware of it but you get a pop up dialogue that is kind of intrusive when it appears. I am not sure if it is my mission end or your addon related.

Thanks Myke,

Edit: I just saw your message in your Missilebox thread, I will try this workaround which may save me a lot of work writing an onMapSingleclick script. Not too mention the GPS console looks very nice rather than a map that just pops up : ) It sounds like in the long run this won't be an issue anyway as the console may be added back in at some point.

Thanks all

Thanks for the heads up!! Will look into it.
