FLANKERATOR

Hi Rush Sorry for late reply, I have updated the roster. Pilots from the same squadron can not be in two different coalitions so the two reserves from the 373rd have to stay on team Blue. Aleman and Alpen have signed up as a new squadron and the seeding has put them on team Green this time alongside the 57th. Regarding your question about ground targets, I've added the target value breakdown on the master page, it's the same as in JW4. You can check that out here: http://sa-sim.com/joint-warrior-5-kicking-off-27th-of-february/ We're left with two free slots on team Green and one free slot on Team Red, hopefully we'll get a few people on TS keen to jump on tomorrow. in the worst case scenario, we'll probably ask two lone wolves from Team Blue to switch for team Orange, that would complete team Orange while letting the two 373rd reserves join in.

Guys, whichever coalition has Su-33s selected will have to use the in-game red side because that where Su-33's are. Therefore: Team RED (blue in game) vs Team GREEN (red in game) Team BLUE (blue in game) vs Team ORANGE (red in game)

Hey Rush, do you still have pilots available aside from those on the roster? If so please let me know we have 2 free slots plus Snuffle so thats 3 free slots in the orange coalition.

Roger Sweeper. Should I replace his old name by Gman in the rankings?

This round features no GCI and the only radar you'll be able to use is inside your aircraft. We plan to use a human GCI in a future event as the in game AWACS is still bugged. We plan to use Combined Arms. We may also consider Lotatc.

Thanks, roster updated.

Roger, roster updated, thanks, EDP! They were 8 but your reserves were 6 so 2 slots are free in your coalition. Hopefully more people will sign up. Blue have already 2 strikers (CeraphimGray and Fishbed) Wardog from reserve can fly A10 so that's 3, then Olde has not specified his AC yet (maybe a Nuke launcher :D) so potentially 4 strikers, plus I'm sure if needed they will have volunteers keen to switch for ground pounding.

We hope not. That is why we asked people to literally post their availability when signing up. RL can still get in the way though and yes people who wish to grab a seat: get on the wait list early and show up on D-day for a chance to fly. 5 at least. I think no one, they have all pulled out. Therefore you can ask your reserves, Rush and please confirm with me. Normally its 8 slots per squadron but in this case we need pilots so go ahead, mate.

The map is symmetrical so for the sake of simplicity, Red are Red in game and blue are blue in game.

Apologies, you're #98 on the sign up so you're guaranteed a slot, sir. Now we have 2 more open slots only before reaching the limit and the wait list.

1.5.3 has been pushed out of beta now though I agree with you, stability seems to have taken a hit with this last update. I'll talk to the hosts again and see what would be best. I'm sure 1.5.2 is better but then most folks woul need to roll back to 1.5.2.

You re the 101st player to sign up Daniel so you ll be the first one on the wait list.

Sign up is still open yes. No CA slots introduced yet. As for the DCS version, 1.5.3 has been released so this is what the server will be running. Final reminder: registration will be closed on Monday then coalitions will be formed and posted. Last call to squadron leaders who booked open slots to post player names before Monday otherwise will be removed since seeding would be impossible.

Thank you guys for signing up for JW5. Squadron leaders, please post exact names of those who will partake on Sunday at the latest as this is needed for seeding purposes. Ignore if already done. Coalitions will be formed and posted on Monday. Seeding based on SA rankings will be used for that. Also please make sure you have the same DCS version as the one being used on the 104th server which should be the latest RELEASE version.

Well noted. Thanks, Rush. :thumbup:

Its not a question of what is above what mate, 104th know their server better and this happens to be an issue as it can not be forced on clients. Moreover, it's not conflicting in any way with the event rules.

Hey Rush. That's server side stuff so a server admin will need to answer this.

Squadrons can book up to 8 slots but they must provide details about participants at least one week before D-day or the slot will be released. That will give you time to know whether you need those 2 slots or not. S!

Sure but please edit your first post accordingly. S!

Roger, Falcon. Remember you can book up to 8 aircraft so if you want to make CikaZee fly it is also possible.

We will try to include a few helicopter slots, Maverick will get back to you on this. max ping should be around 250-300ms. Exact number will be communicated later on. We're still testing the AWACS to be 100% sure the ghost contacts issue is not there especially in a target enriched environment. If positive it will be added. There will be tankers though for air refueling as the unlimited fuel issue is now fixed. S!

Hey guys, SA points awarded for RF4 here: http://sa-sim.com/red-flag-4-january-2016/ AAR here: http://sa-sim.com/rf4-results/ New updated SA rankings for A2A pilots, squadrons and countries here: http://sa-sim.com/rankings/ (note there is a small glitch with the ranking query affecting the F99th on the squadron rankings only; its related to their transition from S77th to F99th, it will be fixed soon. EDIT: fixed) RF4 BattleFacts is in the making and will be published soon to highlight top RF4 performances and milestones. In the meantime, We'd like to congratulate SF pilots for their excellent performances and consistency over the last events with SF_Ocelot now crowned as the new #1 A2A pilot. A new event is around the corner for the month of February and will be announced soon!

We'd love to hear from ED, I know Yoyo is the man when it comes to flight models but who's in charge of everything related to missile performance? Newsletters pass by filled with exciting new yet not a single word about this particular issue...
