ApoNOOB

I approve this notion, this is only really an issue if you play FC3/non integrated radios/ AWACS, so I can understand that most people don't even understand why this is an issue. But current implementation is really unintuitive, one misclick and you have to use quite a while to fix all the frequencys up again. =) For me in AWACS slot, quickly switching a freq is just not in the cards. This highlights the confusion, Neil please read OP again.

Never used facebook exactly because of this. Back then you were a conspiracy theorist, now people act suprised. :P Please look at this and try it yourself. If you are using or have used Facebook in the past, and feel this should not be a problem, please really look at that data. It's not only what data is collected about YOU but from other people, that you are interacting with aswell, that don't even use facebook. I have a friend looking through her folder right now, and she is quite shocked. People really should start thinking about how they use social media, what ethics they expect, hell even how you go about gathering information on the internet. We have a really tech savy community here, young people growing up have a completely different relation with personal data & the internet than us. Pretty sure most of the worlds school systems are failing very bad at this aswell, Germany's most certainly is. I find it very important that people know how these 'free' services operate, what this means not only for free speech but to forming your opinions (filter bubble).

Actually, why even Manpads? I think these are very counter productive to the mission anyway. If it were some kind of radar SAM instead, players of all sides could better work with them. Getting shot out of nowhere, with no warning and no chance to defend is not very fun. But working through a bunch of radar sams can be. :) Also I am one of the believers of: "You should alteast need more than one crate to build any kind of defense" :D

This works with OvGME as long as it is set up correctly, no idea what LevelPulse is about.

This does not work for me on Win7, any ideas? Shift+ALT+ARROW keys does not work also. edit: nevermind, uninstall via SR installer fixed the problem. :)

"+1"-only post's are cancer and there should be a rule against them. What does that really add to any discussion? Atleast with the reputation system there was a alternative to give feedback, without useless spam. Same in mod threads, people simply saying "thx! great mod!" while it might be nice to stroke the ego of the creator that way, it is very useless in the grand sheme of things. In depth feedback will be drowned out while people scroll past countless of useless one line posts.

Personally, I do enjoy the GCI role - for a very limited amount of time. Best solution would be if pilots after dying, crashing, RTB etc. would simply take over the role for 15-30 mins. Fact is, once you get stuck in it, it's very hard to get somebody else to take over. And IMHO missions like blueflag don't really function without (human) GCI, except if you have a very teamplay oriented team, that is communicating on various channels. Otherwise the overall coordination of assets, very often just doesn't work out.

IF there are going to be night time missions again, could I ask that server time be added to the webpage? I remember as GCI sometimes I didn't even realize that it was nighttime until somebody pointed it out. Really awkward if you are the guy coordinating stuff! :D

That is not going to happen, and why should ED put the work in, when there is already a free community version that works and has zero dev time cost. I don't want to derail this into a whishlist discussion, but there are a lot of threads about this already and afaik there is zero indication by ED to ever do this. Again, we actually have SR, which works for most DCS users, if you have a persistent problem, fix it with Cribob. From the look of the thread, all the big issues people had were fixable. On a more positive note, thank you very much, my brave single Mirage pilot using SR. I am really sorry, but just not doing GCI for only a single pilot. :) edit: Also I don't want to argue with you, I realize my frustration bleeds through. Love your name. =)

It's really frustrating, people just fly into their personal lonewolf hell, ragequit after two trys anyway... GCI I don't even need to start if only one or two pilots are on SR. Just now I saw the whole red team over senaki get wrecked by a bunch of single eagles (who are def. not working together on SR either haha) which, honestly, would not have posed a problem if more than one guy would have listened on SR.

I am flying at very 'Euro' times the last few days, mostly on blue, and there is ZERO communication between people. Especially CAP don't even react to chat, basically if people don't work together, there is no reason to even take off. Please even if you are a noob, atleast react on chat. Reading the briefing in the first post also helps, since it's pretty obvious who didn't do it when we have everything up to Guduata and people take off from Vaziani area. Edit: On red only one pilot on comms too, this is quite annoying. With north american pilots(or atleast people flying in that timezone) I have generally a much higher SR/TS ratio. :P

Light/illumination is a general 2.5 issue right now in all modules.

Really fun to read their forums too, they all think its ok because it 'only affects pirates!!!111" More technical look: https://www.fidusinfosec.com/fslabs-flight-simulation-labs-dropping-malware-to-combat-piracy/ Best thing is, everything unencrypted, unsecure server (the one you check if serial is legit!)... https://forums.flightsimlabs.com/index.php?/announcement/11-a320-x-drm-what-happened/ LOL! Here is the boss admitting to have hacked a user. Can't make this stuff up haha

Damn this is terrible news. My thoughts and wishes are with the family. RIP

Just being able to use the presets on COM2 would be enough for now. Incase devs are not aware, we need some form of working 2nd radio for Simpleradio. Personally for me, that is biggest issue with the Harrier right now.

No he probably can't. All modules after & including M2000 can't be activated on standalone - as is already stated everywhere. Please don't spread false information. In light of this, suggesting somebody 'just switch to standalone' is quite silly. ED is selling on Steam, telling people, that are locked into Steam already, not to buy there, is nonsensical.

I see it from a administration point, so far you can never know who is abusing, at least as player. (Is there a way for admin to already see this?) The reasons why you would want to see who is transmitting at the moment are many, from troubleshooting hard/software issues to policing trolls.

We don't know, since no sticky. xD Sorry but the communication has gone from good to bad.

The other day I wanted to do some AFAC in A-10C and noticed the captured airfields (atleast) don't have WP rockets to mark. Is this for stabillity or an oversight? I really like the easy defenses of the FARPs, mostly take dumb bombs there. Any chance for more targets like that? Was thinking about some kind of TA outside of the airfields, that if cleaned & captured, it would start restocking destroyed friendly units on airfields. To my next point, I think the defense system with the transport (while surely neat!) is very much flawed. The weaker side (CAP wise) is going to need air defenses more than the other side, but will have no chance of defending their transports. This really stacks the deck against the already weaker team, more so that there is no repair function -> you are simply not coming back from that. Generally about the units around airfields: I think they all need to be checked, some units are clearly from pre 2.5 and are so terribly close to tree's / objects that you can only see them from up very high. (Death sentence in this mission^^) Furthermore there are often situations where ammunition will simply only impact the new collidable tree's. I know, I know, realism blah, units wouldn't drive out into the middle of a field, but please bear with us here while we adjust to 2.5! =) Been having a lot of fun, see you around all. P.S. everything just my opinion, no facts here. Fight somebody else! =)

I wondered about that too, not sure how this is supposed to work IRL. How would the Shilka even know when to turn on Radar if not already searching? Different SAMs, like TOR have similar behaviour, it will only start to activate when inside it's range, but how would it know that? On the other they would probably know from search radar or similar, but in DCS you can't really knock that out and have an effect?

No, nothing is persistent through restarts so far.

Hey, I was just about to put in new RAM (or rather test it alone first) but just before shutting down the system I remembered my DCS activations. It is the same RAM module just two sticks more, will I need to disable and then reactive my DCS modules first?

Yes, read limitations (of Harrier). Radio systems are not yet functioning, so from SRS side working as intended. Harrier devs need to step it up.

BLUE Unit on Sochi that they (RED) apparently couldnt find & kill. It's a tank sitting in the treeline next to a road. "37T EJ 77027 07952, el86ft MBT MA1A2 Abrams B/SOCH/TANK/1" can't post screen right now Disregard the generator stuff, that is F10 MAP bug. edit: oh boy in a hurry and tired xD, got connection problems, probably not going to connect anymore! Good night guys =)

Looks like we can't capture Sukhumi and Red can't capture Sochi. Can you check if there is maybe some kind of hidden unit in the tree's or something? We are able to refuel/rearm, but not spawn. There was also no close message. edit: we also placed JTAC which couldnt see anything
