Hey guys, I started flying the Mig-21 recently and I have some stuff that I can't figure out. I have a keybind for the "request bogey dope" command but since there are 2 channels (15 and 124) on redfor the call using that keybind is made on the first line of channels which is 15. Do you guys use a macro or something to avoid having to go through the whole F7-F2-F4 stuff to call the right ewr frequency ? Second question is about engine flameouts, I understand the fishbed hates negative g's but I sometimes get flameouts when flying straight or climbing with afterburner on. I can't pinpoint why that happens, should I go easy on afterburner use for some reason ? Thanks in avance ! :thumbup:

Thanks man, that would be awesome ! I'm down for it If you're available one of these days or after a mission :thumbup:

Red side, here I come (also Harrier) :pilotfly:

No worries :thumbup:, it's either on my end or some ED ****ery. I did some troubleshooting and managed to stay connected on the server for hours on Open Range tonight. I'll check later if it remains stable when the server is full, that might be related.

I keep having timed out issues since the last 2 updates. Not sure whether it's on my end or not, does anybody have the same problem ? I don't think I'll rejoin not to squander our planes because of this issue. GLHF guys !

Can't wait to try these updated missions out ! As always thanks for your awesome job. I noticed enemy units do not show up on the Tactical commander's F10 map anymore when in range of friendlies or when being lased by jtac. Is that something you disabled or another ED issue ? Jtac units really are useful for sure, when you say 4 is that a total number (as in there's only 4 total available jtac units) or is it a limitation on the number of units deployed (as in you can deploy as many as you want with 4 being the maximum deployable at the same time)? I understood the former, I just want to be sure :) Quick note to everyone : Blue Jtac will mark Red targets with red smoke and Red Jtac will mark Blue targets with blue smoke. The default code for Blue jtac is set to 1688 (F5 default laser code) even if it shows 1113 on the F10 menu.

From blue side: Street Fight is pretty cool, loved the close spawns and the limited amount of aircraft was a really neat addition to add intense rtb moments. I tried to fly the Gazelle L and it's utter shit compared to Ka50, distance to engage is really close and you're pretty much dead before even getting in range. Not sure how to balance that though. The only viable way we found was using JTAC with GBU's on F5s but I need to learn how to do this properly ahah. We manually changed the JTAC laser code to be usable by F5's but it still showed the OG one (1113 I believe) when using F10 menu => Others => JTAC Status. Not sure if it was working or not, myself and another guy dropped GBUs on a lased Shilka with no success but that might be a pilot related issue in this case. I think this mission could end very quickly when people get to know it, the vehicle war is way more efficient than anything else it seems but only time will tell :) I feel that A2G stuff could only have been done succesfully by Viggens but I'm under the impression it's mostly used in A2A scenarios. (unpopular opinion: remove A2A missiles on Viggen :devil: )

Sorry for the delay, the Minigun variant of the Gazelle can kill infantry and BTR-80 but I confirm there's no A.I. for shooting it. The gun is actually controlled by headtracking which is really painful. I don't know if multicrew is implemented but I have a feeling it's not. The L variant will definitely be better !

This ^ I mostly play Blue and some of us are really trying to provide better coordination, especially using ground forces which are at the heart of many missions and it often turns into a 3 hours try-hard tank driving nightmare while most of the team is doing team deathmatch in the air like it's Growling Sidewinder server. So it usually comes down to a very few people doing huey stuff, driving ground units and sometimes GCI-ing altogether. This can lead to pretty frustrating moments (flying a huey for 25min to drop a unit, then drive it to get killed because the focus is not on the objective) I'm still a noob at DCS and I understand how starting out in CW can be complicated. Hell, the first time I played on it I got obliterated while flying at FL400 with the M2000 not even knowing where I was :lol: but it's obvious a lot of players either don't know what's going on or don't really care, talking on top of each other and so on. Some good players try to lead by example by explaining stuff to others and I can't thank them enough but I have to admit that no amount of OP stuff on blue side will replace good tactics and coordination. Not gonna lie, sometimes I just can't wait for winter sales to get some Redfor modules :music_whistling: Thankfully it's not always like that but let's say there's a pattern.

Amazing ! Count me in :pilotfly:

Pretty intense fights tonight on Sneaky Bastards, gg to all ! :thumbup: @Alpen Nellus told me you were expecting blue tanks to raid Bandar Lengeh but no tanks spawned in there (only a Vulcan). The Challenger Tanks west of Red Farp spawned properly. Tacview screenshot from beginning of mission attached.

I think we found the craziest MBT driver out there. Dude drove from here: to here: Total distance doesn't even fit the tacview screen And he got killed by an A10 upon reaching the Blue base. F

Hi everyone, I've been having massive freeze issues on DCS OB these last few weeks. I can play for about 10min without any issues then suddenly the game freezes for minutes then resumes. I didn't change a thing on my pc recently and everything was working perfectly before. I updated my GPU's drivers and win10 but no luck. Here's a video example taken from a multiplayer server : The freeze lasts about 4:30 minutes. I managed to play about 5min after this then it happened again and crashed the game. Any ideas ? Thanks in advance ! My rig: - Win10 - SSD - i5 6600K (not oc) - GTX 1060 oc 6go - DDR4 16Go 2133MHz

I made a little video myself from a few days ago ! Some kind of tribute to Alpenwolf's epic fight :lol:
