    Cold War 1947 - 1991

    in Multiplayer

    Posted

    Hi there Alpenwolf, first I'd like to thank you so much for the server. Having a server that focuses on teamwork, communication and combined arms is absolutely ace. By also focusing on Cold War tech, it makes the conflict much more tactile and crunchy instead of being a BVR missile slinging match, and for the ground the limitations on PGMs and the construction of targets give us a reason to use dumb weapons, which is rather rare in DCS! I've been having a great time in my Mi-8, Su-25, A-10A and doing GCI intercepts.

     

    However one thing I find strange is your position against having a discord. I understand your objections about it with regards to wanting people to use SRS and not discord voice chat, but I think it would really help things if we had a text-only discord setup so that people interested in the server had a common area to hang out in, put out calls for more players, discuss airframes and tactics, and so on.

    If you are still against it, would you be opposed to the creation of an unofficial DCS Cold War Discord?

    Export.Lua curiosity question

    in PC Hardware and Related Software

    I am no developer, but I'm just curious as to the possibilities of the export.lua functionality potential. For example, is it possible to export the video for FC3 arcraft displays? eg, Su-25T Shkval, Mig-29 HDD. Are there any other braod stroke limitations on what can be done? Eg, DCS:A10C has better functionality compared to FC3 aircraft.

    Consolidated Russian Jets text guide?

    Does such a thing exist? I know there is hte manual, but I am looking for soothing a little bit more focused on the application of the systems than their raw technical stats. Considering how much the systems change between patches, you can't be sure if your missiles are effective or not for example. For instance I've heard that 27ER is now longer ranged than 120C, and hell if I can find a source confirming this! :joystick:

    Go into "Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Bazar\Effects\PFX"

     

    Then open the folders High and Medium

     

    cut and paste the files:

     

    Ground

    Ground1

    Ground2

    smokecloud

     

    into another folder "disabled".

     

    This removes the particle effects that cause the slow-down. It reduces the eye candy, but you can still tell where your rounds are falling.

     

    I posted this earlier this year, I'm surprised it's not in any of the big guides.

    MiG29A/S Tactics?

    in Lock On: Flaming Cliffs 1 & 2

    Thanks SFAL, I think you were also showing me the real deal the other day over team-speak :)

     

    Edit: Actually, I question the use of the ET on the 29S as the R77 has equal autonomous homing ability but with greater range. The ET looses lock far too often unless you're rear aspect where upon you gotta get really close to them anyway so you might as well use an R73 he if doesn't know you're there or if he does use an R77.

    Another one is to have someone stay back with the jammer while another powers on ahead in the same line towards the enemy. This way the enemy cannot lock the forward fighter as any attempt to will instead get the rear jammer. That's what happened tonight against some F15C's that kept the A10C's behind them with jammers on. Made it impossible to lock the bastards.

    FC3 - Worth it?

    Warthog HOTAS will work just fine in FC3. If you're looking for a bit more simpler CAS sorta thing, the A10A might be just up your alley. Otherwise, read up on the fighters and choose one to get really familiar with. The Su27 is nice and will give you lots of new toys to play with: HMS targeting, IRST passive detection and locking and a hell of a lot of missiles to play with and can even do strikes with rockets and bombs. THis will also set you up for flying the Su33 as it's so similar.
