  1. thanks for your answer sslechta. I didnt mean on the multiplayer platform but rather campaigns with a series of missions (like the SP campaigns) but playable for 2 people, for practicing... ??
  2. By the way, HiJack, if you dont mind me asking, I have a question about Multiplayer. I have played SP since LOMAC 2004! But multiplayer is fairly recent : are there good multiplayer campaigns (or collections of multiplayer missions) that I could play with my buddy? and how to host them ? where to look for these? (I am not talking about a live server but rather campaigns like Bear Trap or other but that I could play with my friend? thanks JF
  3. everyting is working great, thanks!!
  4. ok that is what I thought... Can I run both 2.5.0 and beta 2.5.1 on the same machine just for that purpose? are the missions compatible?
  5. Hi again and thanks for your patience... I did all what I consider necessary to host a server and open all the relevant ports and still, I just tried with my buddy and it didnt work... Question: He is on DCS open beta 2.5.1 and I am on DCS release 2.5.0 ... is it possible that this would be the reason for him not seeing my server? The funny thing is that his servers list in the multiplayer module is totally different than my server list in mine... ???? Thanks again for your help!
  6. Ok here is a bit of info that is interesting: after having configured to my best port forwarding for port 10308 for both FTP and UDP Protocols, both in Windows firewall, Norton antivirus AND my router, when I used portchecker.co it always said that my port 10308 was closed... I thought of something and tried: I fired up DCS , multiplayer, made a NEW NETWORK, started it, and then checked portchecker and LO! My port 10308 was OPEN!!!!! great.
  7. ok will check as well. I didnt touch it because it says that it is being managed by an external program (Norton antivirus)... but will check
  8. Hi HiJack Thanks for the help. I am sure I did what is necessary in the Router configuration to have the Port 10308 open (for both protocols) and I know that in my Norton Antivirus, DCS is expressly authorized... still, port checker says that 10308 is closed... any other idea? sorry to bother, I would like this to work so much!
  9. do you have a way to check if my thing is working and if I make a home made server it shows on the public list?
  10. Wow, thanks that is a very precise and detailed answer. I did make a static IP address for my gaming comp as explained and I did allow port 10308 in my ASUS router as explained... Now I dont have anybody to test it but will try later, thanks so much!
  11. Hi! I dont know if this is the right forum to ask this but I cannot setup a werver on my computer... I tried to make a simple mission with a few AC as clients and , in DCS multiplayer, I clicked NEW SERVER and made one with my new mission (which I tested on my side and it works fine, but friends cannot see it outside... I checked my IP with the website whatismyipaddress.com and it tells me it is static (a good start)... I checked and in DCS the server I try to make is giving the right IP address... I did specify the port 10308 in inbound in windows Firewall (as explained by BIGNEWY) but I suspect that between the actual windows firewall that is actually probably overridden by my Norton antivirus and my ASUS router, there might be something I dont know how to setup... can you help me? thanks!!
  12. Wow Bignewy You are quick and really to the point, thanks so much! I did rename the MissionEditor folder as mentionned in the link you gave me and it did the trick!!! Thanks so much! JEFX
  13. Hello I hope someone has an idea but I am stuck... I have been using DCS 2.5 (release) since its release and it was fine. Yesterday after playing a bit in multiplayer with a friend, it started to do this: I clic on DCS and the loading screen is there with the big DCS letters in the middle and it freezes at 55% EVERYTIME Itry... I imagine the logfile is useless in such a circumstance... Anybody has an idea?????? thanks for the help, this is really bad... DCS 2.5, Windows 10/64, PC, 3840X1024 TH2Go setup
  14. funny... I did spoof one (passed right behind) ... then another... but a third one hit me while I was trying to beam...
  15. Hi Baltic Dragon and thanks again for the great work! If it crashes again I will put the log files here. It didnt crash last time I tried. No I dont use any mods, just a wide resolution on TH2Go. Thanks for the advice I will try again... Definitely lost my fighting hand
  16. Hi guys, thanks for the quick response... I will when I get enough time with the computer later... but what I can remember was that before the crashes (or freezes I must say) I usually looked at the F10 Map in order to calculate Bullseye distance and bearing... I think that everytime I froze was after a switch to an outside view??? By the way, I havent flown fighters for a long long time (I did real flying in the recent years, but NO fighting in a Cessna :music_whistling: and I have tried twice now the second mission and I dont seem to be able to survive... I got killed both time, do you have an advice? Thanks. I tried again last night without changing the views and it remained stable until I got killed again...
  17. Hello I really like your immersive campaign but (at least for me) it is barely playable... I have DCS 2.5.0 with Windows 10/64 and I am playing with a resolution of 3840X1024 (THead2Go). I dont know what is going on but once every second try my DCS freezes in the middle of a mission and I have to start all over again. I cannot even get out of the freeze with Windows Task Manager... It happend in the first mission and twice in the second mission...:( Is this campaing fully tested in 2.5?? or perhaps I should wait? Just bought it to take advantage of the beauty of the new landscape... thanks JEFX
  18. Hi Sabre! long time! I was just thinking : are you planning to upgrade and release your wonderful F-15C training campaing for 2.5 now? I bet it would be the entry door to a lot of newcomers... I just made the experiment and if you prentend to know nothing about DCS and only have the (very basic) DCS manual and try to understand all about the F-15C (I am not talking about the A-10C and its great manual...) it can be very difficult for a newcomer... How to use the navigation modes, why on earth in the ME waypoints are starting at 0 and is the ILSN pointing to the IAF or the Runway (it did change in the last iterations... right?) all sorts of details that are simply not well documented and I bet that with a proper training campaing, a lot of people would start out DCS, wiht ist great free ME and theatre, with the F-15C... just a thought... cheers! JEFX
  19. perhaps you are looking for THIS timetable?
  20. Mbot, allow me to join the chorus of praise and, at the same time, wish you a Happy New Year! I am eagerly waiting for this project like everyone here!!!
  21. For mission building and training purposes, I was trying to establish the best on par adversaries for our new Mirage... Since the S530D needs to keep lock and aimed at the bandit for the whole duration of the missile's flight, it cannot compare with semi-autonomous more modern missiles. Therefore in the US arsenal, it is quite comparable to the SPARROW (AIM-7) am I wrong?. The range of the Magic II is comparable to the range of the AIM-9P (and not the M which has a longer range) right?. Therefore, if one wants to make an even fight, am I right if I say that a Mirage 2000C equipped with its 4 AA missiles (2xMagic II and 2xS530) would be on par with an F-16A with 2 sparrows and to Sidewinder P ??? But if one wants to make a par with a russian aircraft? would it be comparable to a Mig-29A? And what about the missiles? with 2x R60 and 2x R27R (those seem a bit better than the S530 no?) ??? Opinions???
  22. Always best to reinstal clean for the reasons Azrayen pointed. I did it recently myself and I can testify that you will be blown away by how much less loading time you will have!!!! I load the whole thing in mere seconds!!! So useful for mission editing and building!!
  23. Thanks!
  24. by the way, there used to be a whole set of view and config lua files before in FC and old DCS and I am now a bit mixed up... if you go through the different aircraft folders, there is no view.lua file in Flaming Cliffs, nor in A-10C nor SU-25T but there is one in M-2000C and in UH-1H and MI-8 ????
