I have set up all 3 pieces of the Rapier unit and after trying it 20 times the Rapier missiles never fire. This is on the Beta release. Do they work on the beta release and if so, what is the trick to setting this air defense unit up? I have seen a couple of videos where is does work but I can't seem to make it work. The best I get is the one small optical radar to move like it is tracking. Thanks

I will give that a go and see if it solves the issue. Is there a bug report section for the dedicated beta server or is this thread it? Thanks

That is what I do but it doesn't work. Then I stop the server and try again and it still doesn't work. Eventually it will delete but it seems buggy or I am not holding my mouth right. :D I am remotely administering through my local network with Firefox if that makes a difference...

Missions When I try to add a mission and use it, I click on the last mission in a list of 4 or 5 missions. It says running as it starts to load the mission, then it switched to the next mission above it in the list and runs that one instead. My workaround is to add the new mission 2 times so when I start the bottom one, it moves up one to the copy of it. Also, deleting a mission seems tricky. What is the correct procedure to delete missions? Thanks

I wasn't sure about it being available for pre-order for months. The announcement made it sound like 1 day only. :P

Well if I didn't ask I am sure someone else would have. :D It's a one day only sale I think so I don't want to miss it. I wasn't sure if it was based on Russian or American time (it's 4:15PM in Russia on the 22nd ya know). :doh:

Where is the Pre-Order Link? Today is 05-22-2019 and I get up and go to pre-order the F-16C Viper and cannot find a link to get it. Is it going to be available today? Anxious, DB

I noticed the same behavior. I always have to switch to the new mission twice before it works. I also had trouble deleting missions but I think you just have to stop the server before you can delete one so maybe that is the same with changing the mission. I will try that next time. Otherwise it seems to work pretty good. :thumbup:

20% off of ?? What is the expected retail price? Same as the FA/18? I'm in!

I found the answer I googled it and found this pertaining to my question: Can I spectate multiplayer? I'm new and I was wondering if there's a way to just spectate a multiplayer game going on. < > yes, if server has setting to allow you to view all stuffs with externals (most won't) or if you have combined arms and server has observer slots enabled for either side. so the answer is it really depends on the mission file being run and what the server admin has decided to edit/create the mission file with. often I will lock views so that players cannot cycle and see stuff on map but anyone can jump out and go to observer (if they have combined arms DLC) and spectate the battle. <> Originally posted by Chameleon_Silk: yes, if server has setting to allow you to view all stuffs with externals (most won't) or if you have combined arms and server has observer slots enabled for either side. so the answer is it really depends on the mission file being run and what the server admin has decided to edit/create the mission file with. often I will lock views so that players cannot cycle and see stuff on map but anyone can jump out and go to observer (if they have combined arms DLC) and spectate the battle. <> So I need dlc to spectate games? <> No, you can do it with the FREE DCS World. The server has to have external views enabled, whether for friendlies or everyone, and if the map is enabled with units and aircraft showing, you can click on any and press F2 or F7 for external view. There is also fog of war map, where you can see everything that your team and AI see. <> Note that connection limit might block entering the server. < >

Oh, I thought maybe it had to do with DCS Combined Arms which I do not currently own. So I guess anyone with the game can be a spectator or observer on a game server? How do you do that? Never did it before. Thanks

What exactly are the "observers" listed on the server GUI? Thanks

Will this ever go to Stable Version? Hi, Will this dedicated server version ever be released for the stable version of DCS, or is it going to remain for the beta version only? Thanks

I needed to bump this as I am also color blind and need to be able to change the color of the red dots that designate targets that are visible (to everybody except us color blind flyers) before the labels show. I am flying the F/A-18C and trying to use the AGM65F and cannot do it very well if I can't see the targets. Does anybody know if the info in this thread works and if so, what is the name of the "red dots" that designate the target? Thanks, Dave

I found this link: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=160024 That is talking about some other people with the same issue. Can anybody confirm that this is actually possible and if so, what is the name of the "target dots" that I need to change the color of? Thanks, Dave

I figured it should be but wasn't sure if a terrain had to go through the Beta version for testing like the aircraft modules. Thanks

Ok, great. I guess it will be available later in the week? I am running the stable version. Will it have to go through the beta version first? Thanks, Dave

If we already own the Persian Gulf map is this a free upgrade?? Thanks, Dave

Here is an example in Battlefield 1 to show the options for color blind players. It is a very short video but you will get the point. Thanks, Dave

I just realized why I was having so much trouble using the AGM65F when flying on my server with a few friends. I can not see the red dots that mark the enemy and when I get close enough where the labels turn on, I am too close and fail getting a lock on the targets. I have been color blind all my life and it's always the reds and greens that get me. I took a online color blind test a couple of times and although I got different results, they both point to the same problem. When we played Battlefield 3 and 4 they had a "color blind mode" in the options where you could choose between a couple of colors to better differentiate the tags for team member vs enemy etc. Is this the place to request such an option?? If so, I sure could use it. Also, below is the link to the color blind test and here is what my test showed: most common forms of red-green color blindness Red-green color blindness can be broken down into two main types: Protan (“pro-tan”), which is an anomaly of the “L” cones, mainly responsible for seeing red colors. And Deutan (“do-tan”), which is an anomaly of the “M” cone type mainly responsible for seeing green colors. This anomaly has quite a range, from just a mild change or shift in red or green sensitivity called Protanomaly or Deuteranomaly, to the complete absence of one of the cone photopigments, called Protanopia or Deuteranopia.

Does anyone have an idea when the DCS Server Control will be available with the stable version? Thanks

Thanks Rudel. :) Exactly what processor are you running? Intel? What GHz? I am pretty sure I will build something better/faster but keep us up to date how it works when you get some players in there. And if you fly the F/A18 see how many M84 CBU's you can drop without it failing. :thumbup:

Only my voice level was ok. The other 2 players through TeamSpeak were very quiet.

I guess I will try again and ask, if a person was to build a new pc just for a server, what would be the recommended specs? I don't want to spend more than needed so will an I-5 work and what speed? 16MB ram enough? I know I can get by with a lesser video card. I want the server to run with zero hiccups. Thanks

I just started to record some of our 3 man multiplayer sessions using Shadowplay and have run into some issues. We use teamspeak and the first recording I made I only got my voice and no game sounds. I switched to a single track in Shadowplay and now I have game sound and my voice, but the other two players voices are barely heard. I know some people on here make great videos (Grim reapers for example) and all of the players are heard just fine. Anybody know the best way to set this up so it works? I found this thing called Voicemeeter and Banana so maybe I am on the right track...??? Thanks edit: At ease everybody...I got it working. :)
