RULESET ROE available at ⁠》dcs-rules-bfm—->https://discord.gg/XxEgpVjNwC Respective team leaders have to privately submit their choice of players via the /lineup command, then Skynet will then create the fixtures and announce the matches using this format: Match 1: 1v1 guns only – Best of 5 rounds Match 2: 2v2 guns only – Best of 5 rounds Match 3: 1v1 guns + missiles (selection via **/payload**) – Best of 5 rounds Match 4: 2v2 guns + missiles (selection via **/payload**) – Best of 5 rounds Match 5: 1v1 guns only – Best of 5 rounds A player can not be selected more than 2 times against the same team.

Matches can be scheduled and reported separately via the /report command. A minimum of 4 teams is required for this competition to use double elimination brackets.

INTRODUCTION The Dojo BFM Open series is a set of elimination-based tournaments (brackets) that will run in parallel of the now established league system starting from March 2024. The new tournament module is now fully supported by Skynet, which means that the players will be able to manage their participation in these tournaments from the comfort of their Discord account. The double elimination feature of these tournaments is also more beginner-friendly since losing would not mean exiting the tournament but rather getting to fight some one who also lost their fight at the same stage of the competition. These second chance fights would take place in the Redemption brackets. The winner of the Redemption brackets will earn the right to challenge the winner of the Main brackets in the championship round. RULES OF ENGAGEMENT Aircraft Inventory: F/A-18C, F-16C, M2000C, JF-17, Su-27, MiG-29, F-15C, F-14B, AV-8 Fuel: worth of 5 min 30 seconds in full afterburner thrust at sea level. Armament: Guns available in each round + 2 Missiles can be carried in 2 rounds of the player’s choice. Missile Inventory: AIM-9M, Magic II, PL-5E, R-73. Victory Conditions: To win a match, a player needs to win 3 rounds out of a maximum of 5. *Full set of rules available at The Dojo Discord TOURNAMENT FEATURES Double elimination: Winners move onto next round, losers play each other in the Redemption brackets. Winner of the Redemption brackets earns the right to challenge the champion for the title! Automated tournament management: Discord-based bot automatically updates the brackets and notifies the players. Convenient scheduling: you and your opponent agree on when to fight.

Ahh okay so If I got right, actually what I will get upon spawning is 16 flares with no pods which is the internal loadout (regardless of what the grayed out value shows in the ME..? Then if so, I would simply add a pod for 16 more flares to get 32 flares as you suggested.

hmm, strange, in the ME, i have 112 chaffs / 48 flares without any pods. You mentioned 16 flares? We doing pvp so we want everyone to have 30 flares only...any way this could be achievable?

Hello Is there a way to change the number of chaffs and flares we want to have upon spawning in the Mission Editor?

Hello, Is there a way to amend the number of chaffs and flares we want to spawn with in the mission editor? (it is grayed out)

I confirm your findings: I was not able to override the label settings or any other settings if enforced by the mission. Test conducted 1 - Label setting set to "FULL" in DCS UI 2 - "No force from mission, use mine" checkbox ENABLED in DCS UI 3 - Close dedicated server completely (no pause) 4 - Open mission in Editor, set labels to "FULL" + tick ENFORCE check box + Save 5 - Start then join server as client-------> Result: Labels were active. 6 - Close dedicated server completely 7 - Open mission in Editor , set labels to "NONE" + tick ENFORCE check box + Save 8- Start then join server as client-------> Result: Labels were NOT active. So I think this force my preset checkbox in DCS UI only works in SP, not MP (which is the desired behavior).

Will test that tomorrow and revert back. EDIT: @Maverick87Shaka beat me to it!

Yes I think the labeling of this feature is misleading. Why would a dev allow a user to bypass server rules in MP anyways? If one wants to fly on own terms, they can still do it in SP or create their own server.

Hmm, it is weird, I tried to enable cheat features like immortal and unlimited fuel and tried to join my own server but it did not bypass my server's settings (yes I had the "no force use mine" box ticked and even restarted DCS). Weird but I am relieved.
