Hmm, I don´t know much about computers and internet etc. anymore, somehow lost track of it in the process of growing older, lol, but "my internet" except this DCS-issue seems to work as always, not slower or anything. Also, on the servers I get, like for example "STP Interceptor" i see the same ping as that server always has for me, somewhere in the thirties. Is there only one "Master Server" as the name implies, or are there maybe regional DCS master servers ?

I´ve just checked (I´m roughly 40 klicks S of Boris :smilewink: ) and I only have 21 Servers while I usually have 80-90. I´m on 1.2.10 Upd. 3. What I also noticed is that until a few days ago the server list was filling fluidly in a matter of seconds, now it´s alwas 10-15 servers, a few seconds pause, then another few and so on...

I´m having problems with that mission right now, as the arty, after acknowledging the coordinates (the first set) never begins to fire. Interesting is, that after giving the coords to granat, I still have an "F10"-menu and could give one other set of coords to the arty. Those are the coordinates of the outpost and if I give the order the idiots fire there just fine... The last try I did I wacked the bad guys on the head with my chopper like you have to do in that other mission that doesn´t work right (airbone command or so), then the message came that the arty was right on the spot. Unfortunately I broke my hip (haha...) in the maneuver or was too badly damaged from the AK-fire, so I couldn´t go on with the mission. A pity, as now I´m stuck in this great campaign. Probably some update broke something in the mission ? edit: I just flew it again, and here´s my workaround for anybody else that might be stuck here: I just went into mission planer before takeoff, gave myself a full load of rockets and blew the bad guys to hell myself when ""Granat" again failed to fire. The mission continued as intended afterwards, except that that F10-menu item with the coordinates to shell the friendly outpost was there until the end of the mission

Looking forward to this a lot ! Had the great luck to get a ride once in an unarmed observation bird from the Heer when I was in service with the Luftwaffe long ago , and two times in a civilian EMS Bo-105, all rides front left seat. Oh what a great fun that was !

Hmm, got the Mi-8 in the October sale and for me autostart works just fine.

@ricnunes, when I flew it again i lowered fuel to 45% I think and I still had plenty left when coming home.

If it really starts midnight Moscow time that would be great, as the girlfriend is watching "The Voice (of Germany)", that´s nothing for me... :helpsmilie::music_whistling:

Danke, never stumbled across that. :thumbup: Now if only that confirmation code would come...:noexpression: edit: got it , somebody was probably standing on the wire for a few minutes there.

Nice ! Btw, where does one sign up for the newsletter, I did never ever get one ?

Thanks for fixing ! @ Sculleader: Target is not required for this to work, I also never used it.

Hi, I just flew both of them, thanks very much for making the missions ! There are much too few . Just a few quick thoughts: I really liked the early morning setting in the first one, as DCS CAN look great. Many missions are always in standard setting... As Dark Angel (Is that a reference to "Stolen Thunder" ? Good Book, just re-read it these days. ) already mentioned, the Chinooks in POW2 are a tad fast, after setting up my radio and looking through the cockpit it was hard to catch up, and on the way home the one surviving was cruising at 133 knots, couldn´t keep up ;-) And maybe a bit less fuel for the huey in POW2 almost couldn´t get it up in the air as I always try to fly as if EGT was properly implemented. Maybe, as a suggestion, choose an area where the terrain is not so completely flat so it´s a bit more interesting to fly. On the other hand, racing along that road low level between the two forests to catch those vehicles was pretty cool ;-) I also liked that it was doable, that you didn´t have to win WW3 all by yourself... All in all I liked it a lot, keep it up ! Rep inbound ! Thanks, Wolf

Hi, I have the same problem as JorgeIII, using 1.2.10 Update 3 and the latest version of your file. Can´t bind "TDC +" and "TDC-" in the lines where O and L are bound on the keyboard, when using the duplicate entries above and below I can bind it in the menu to joystick buttons (Warthog) but it has no effect in the game. Greets, Wolf

Nice, thanks !

Just looked, yep, same here.

Great, glad that I could help ! I think it has to do with the "system-stress" simulation of the Mig. Something like a power surge that kills the "light-bulbs" for the pipper and net when it is allready switched one before...

Do you maybe flip the switches in front before you flip those on the side panel ? I´ve done that before and couldn´t get the pipper and the net to work then. When I first get everything up and running on the right side then use the two switches on the hud last it works.

Either that or it was because we were flying in formation and so did a maneuver that made the parts detach shortly after one another.

Hi, as mentioned in the "DCS Mig-21 questions"-thread I sometimes experience a loud "Boom" and shuddering of the aircraft. User xxJohnXX investigated and it seems this is linked to a problem with the SPRD-99 JATO rockets. Please see this posting for Johns investigation and TacView file: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2203482&postcount=33 My track file with the "boom ´n shudder" at 06:42:45 is in this thread, it doesn´t let me attach it here again somehow... http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2203471&postcount=32 Thanks, Wolf [url=http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2203482&postcount=33][/url]

Hi Jonathan, thank you ! Very interesting indeed ! Now that you mention it, it might indeed be possible that it only happens when using the Jato rockets, but I´m not 100% sure. Let´s say 99% sure. After the visual effects were fixed in the last patch I use them almost every time just for the fun of it and that was when I started noticing it. Yesterday when flying with my friend we took off anf flew in formation using jato and he had the "boom ´n shudder" a few seconds after me. Hoping that it´s ok with you I will link to your posting in a bug report for your great investigation and explanation !

I just did a quick flight to check this out, and the "boom" and "shudder" happened. Track is attached. I left the landing/taxi lights on on purpose, but they come off at about 9:42:00 without any sound. Then I do a "split s" and at 9:42:46 when leveling out there´s the bang. I watched the track once in F2 view and could hear it, but didn´t see anything... server-20141012-185939.trk

Hmm, might be, will give that a try, maybe I sometimes forget to retract them, although I have them on the pinky of my warthog throttle and have a good routine of turning them off right after retracting the flaps.

Yep, will do. I couldn´t provoke it to happen so far, it just sometimes happens and sometimes doesn´t. And when it happens it´s only once per flight.

Hey guys, sometimes when flying the Mig, usually only a few minutes after takeoff and while maneuvering I hear a loud "boom" like AAA exploding nearby (with no enemy units nearby) and the aircraft "shudders". After this I can´t find any damages in external view, instrument readings seem ok, the Mig flies all right and my external stores are all still there. What might that be ?

I tried it tonight, but it didn´t make a difference for me unfortunately.

Oops sorry, took a quick look through this forum section before posting and didn´t find it.
