Mirknir

Where is the hardcore Dust that whined each time I added an assist feature? :megalol: They were actually supposed to be hot so yea, I can do that for you...... baddie :music_whistling:

I know but the shortest my path to the information is and the more plentiful the information are ; the faster I can investigate issues ;) Dust's answer was OK. Thanks.

Can you post a larger overview so I can get where the helicopter where in relation to other objective / coast?

Server updated to DCS v1.5.4.55584

Not sure how to do that, I only have one frequency to setup and it's set to 124 for MiG21 convenience (default channel 0) :dunno:

Time to change my locks :helpsmilie:

It should have been restarted yesterday evening

I am having a really busy week and havent been at my place that much. I will push Tuapse as soon as I can. :thumbup:

Also watch this and learn how to have better mustache and tactics: [ame] [/ame] Also buy this and review why you got killed: You are welcome!

Server sometimes lose the connection with ED's lobby and the direct IP is the only way to connect. I found no way of detecting the connection lost as the server is still running and people are still playing, just less and less until it's empty. For this reason and also memory leak, the server restarts fully every 5 resets. I've manually restarted it right now :thumbup:

Are you trained in your huey to dodge trees? Are those actually hueys? :) Yet Another King Kong Movie Trailer But With Helicopters

I am confused, who is the noobest then? :megalol: Remember that time when Dust, in a F5, was trash-talking me while eating ramen then took a R73 in the face? Does that count? :lol: This would be my new Signature if I was an heli pilot since I never managed to land! MOUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA:

In this mission the tankers are for training and fully protected in the protected zone. I have another mission where the conflict zone is bigger and the tankers are operational and mildly protected by ships.

In Map: Open Conflict Khashuri - v6.3.7 Tweaked: AWACS paths Fixed: Border SAMs not rearming after running out of ammo

I am glad you appreciate the server :thumbup: Due to the sandbox style of mission, putting waypoints to aircraft can be tricky ; plus there are like 300 playable aircrafts :helpsmilie:

I am trying to make AWACS perception good over your side of the Conflict Zone and worse as you go deeper in the enemy's. It could be a good compromise as it would be a good tool for defense and not so good for offense.

In Map: Open Conflict Khashuri - v6.3.5 Fix CAP Su27 not having 100% fuel Decrease the number of objects (the map still remains a bit heavier than Tuapse) Lower the AWACS altitude and move them a bit further from the CZ to decrease their perception

Ok, unfinished or untested or bugged. Still the result is the same. The server is still recovering from 1.5.4 and still suffering from 2 new major crashes. I can't wait for DCS to be back to one unique version ; must be hard to support several.

I am not happy with the current balance in Open Conflict ; it's more a case of best of bad solutions. However, yea, it's a simulation so still a F15 will have a technical advantage over the P51 even if I script and give the P51 a Datalink and RWR. Here are some thought to consider before calling datalink OP or dismissing kills by su27 because they have datalink (like I see sometimes in chat). I've tried a lot of stuff in OC history :) Additional Situational Awareness Datalink indeed provides an additional awareness by displaying the AWACS information in a neat manner. It's limited by AWACS 'vision' (that I can't easily control sadly, except by trying to move it closer or further from CZ) The same information is accessible by other aircrafts by radio (of course, it's less well presented) The datalink information can be communicated to teammates like I usually do when I fly with a non DL wingman It's not like the DL is restricted to a coalition It's a multiplayer game, not every aircraft can be lone wolfed. What happened when I removed the datalink: The next best technology became the new stuff people grunt about Fox3 and TWS kills US RWR that is basically a mini datalink for radar emission comparing the RUS one "M2K has its missiles bugged" I know it's a trend in DCS to release half finished products and permanently run betas but I can't compensate for that Half finished features, I don't use them but half finished planes, I still have to add them "Mig21 is a sitting duck" I don't think it's that bad but at the same time, the mig21 is an old plane. It definitely seems like it's harder to master and get kills but I've almost been killed by mig21 even with my OP DL :) After fighting some very good mig21 pilots and reviewing some tacview, I've seen a pattern of staying low and undetected (mig21 has very low radar signature), using awacs guidance and poping short range to fight. My datalink didn't help me win the fights because the mig21 was constantly disappearing (very low radar signature) If anything, I won or not lost the fight because the mig21 was betrayed by its old missiles ; with R73 or R27, I might have suffer some losse. Cool story bro but how will you solve this? Guns Only map :lol: Besides that, I am going to experiment more with AWACS altitude and position to dampen a bit its detection Again it's a simulation and all but man, if only I could put a detection zone for AWACS, this would simplify my job The AWACS is a black box so there is not that much I can do.

Study?? No, Tacview is to create art pieces :lol: Look at young-and-innocent-su33-pilot-Mirknir practicing with new-on-mig21-Vyrtuoz :D [ame] [/ame]

This is where I spilled my vodka turning like crazy :lol: I bled so much speed like a baddie ; god bless the helmet targeting. Then, the mistake against the all seeing AIs....

From Mirknir To Dust Subject: Spilled Ramen You were right, less than 1 mile.

The CQC Experiment (Short Range) Here is some comments I got / experienced: It's different, more dangerous and more stressing The warehouse system is bugged for ships so carrier planes can still load up missiles :mad: Designed with a bigger Conflict Zone, Tuapse mission is a bit to big for CQC experiment Next test: I am going to transfer the CQC test to Khashuri mission I am going to remove the 2 ships in the mission

Nope. I know you are going to say 'datalink gnagna yada yada blah blah blah' but AWACS is also the only IFF and sometimes awareness tool for some aircrafts. Without ET, the combo stealth/IR should be less lethal. But we will see.

In Map: Open Conflict Tuapse - v2.9.6 Added an additional sea delivery Closer Quarter Combat Version Long range missiles removed from bases/ships inventories Long range missiles removed from AI CAPs Prepare to adjust your strategies The warehouse system is kind of pain so don't hesitate to report any oversight from my part
