Hi all,
Do you know how to find Flanders map in CDK?
avg_vlaanderen?
Probably! Thanks! I was trying to open this level, but my CDK crashes.
Hi,
Anyone know how to display a working countdown timer on screen? Not sure if my Int variables work (timer does not countdown on screen).
Cheers!
I know only about this one (see bottom left corner). Also, it should be adjusted to match real time.
Hi KatukovM,
Yep, thats the one. Tried missionsettimeindictor but does not count down. Any suggestions on how you get it to work? :)
Regards,
Sapper
You need to add action that subtracts “1” every second from var. Also, missionsettimeindictor should be run after complete (checkbox).
By changing time for PeriodicEven and Wait you can adjust the time flow.

Thanks, will give it a try and let you know! :)
Cheers!
Update: It worked great, many thanks. Now, to use the timer as a win condition for a defending team :)
Hi there, Could you help me with this issue? War thunder Mission CDK help with SPAA destroying missiles
Does anyone know how to make AI tanks actually use their autocannons and MGs? I’ve gotten them to fire single shots with delays. I’ll send the single-player mission BLK if asked, it’s just that it has many features that the ordinary CDK cannot see, I’d recommend using VSCODE or Notepad to inspect its code.
In other news, I found out a while ago that now literally every spaa can intercept munitions. I mean everything. When I was doing a custom event with my Vietnam mission I had the chinese t-34 with the top mounted mg intercept player Walleye bombs. I also had the chinese t-34 spaa intercept them as well. Pretty annoying, really wished they didnt just globally update the AI with this feature. It shouldve just been all SACLOS spaa and select ir and radar tracking spaa.
How do I decode/encode .grp files?
I wonder when Gaijin will decide to update the CDK….
I’m stuck to using VSCODE and already existing positions; I can’t load many maps.
Does anyone know how to get the ability to atleast place areas?
TLDR FOR THE NEW CDK UPDATE 21 May 2026.
Dont update, stay on your current semi-broken version.
Does the update allow you to actually open maps or is it just a UI overhaul?
Irrc its actually fixes all shader related issues, including maps.
The Community made patch fixes the problems.
You should definetely update.
Community made patch? Where’s that?
