OMG the requests never end..... :lol: What's the difference between F5E and F5E-3? Are both playable? :book:

Do you feel like the forward carrier and rescue ships are too far from the coast? Is flying over sea not too boring for helicopters?

I like all these stories guys, keep it up :thumbup:

Sorry, I don't control how DCS deals with connections. DCS is not known for having the best net code in the industry but it's not the worse either and I think they are working on it. What I can do is upgrade the server hardware and connection. That's why I opened the server for donation: upgrade and maintain. Right now, we are more in the maintain range but soon™, I hope to be able to do some upgrades. Open Conflict started as a mission I created for private play sessions with my friend Vyrtuoz and then, I decided to open a public server and stuff blew up including the server's graphic card :lol: The hardware sure didn't follow the growing interest for the server!

In Masterscript: Skynet v3.2.5 Team Hit on Carrier Landing Attempt to fix some carrier landings issuing a Team-Hit event Reported by Hummel DCS is sending an actual hit event that I have to ignore :thumbup: Closest FARP '-me' chat command ('My Status' radio command) will now display the closest FARP/Aircraft Carrier Requested by DustOff=3=6 Display at the same place as the closest objective Corresponding radio command is 'My Status' in radio menu Airports are not in the list because they are easy to spot on F10 map In Map: Open Conflict Khashuri - v6.3.3 MiG29 Add some MiG-29A slots (seems like it only one skin) - Requested By Hummel Medic Helicopters Now have maximum slickness possible ; even the pilots are naked In Map: Open Conflict Tuapse - v2.9.2 BETA Misc Fixes 'Attack Convoy' renamed 'Deep Assault Convoy' to fit Khashuri mission 'ana.fleet1' Huey slot is not HOT anymore (reported by SpecialK) MiG29 Add some MiG-29A slots (seems like it only one skin) - Requested By Hummel Move some MiG29 slots to airports closer from CZ - Requested By Cosmicdoubloon Medic Helicopters Now have maximum slickness ; even the pilots are naked CAPs AI CAPs zone have been tweaked to cover more ground Fixed some missing options that are set in khashuri mission Reported by Cosmicdoubloon No ECM No Ground Attack No Refueling No Report Waypoint Pass Convoys Fixed some missing options that are set in Khashuri mission Reported by Cosmicdoubloon No Dispersal Under Fire Air Tankers There are now a bit closer from the coast - Requested By Hummel

Thanks for all the comments guys :thumbup: I am happy that the new map is not a total failure hahahahaha It's tricky to create a new mission that can rivalize with the Khashuri one, especially since Khashuri is well tweaked and tuned now. Today, I am going to work on Skynet and the maps to see what I can do. Stay tuned :thumbup:

In Masterscript: Skynet v3.2.4 More Map Validation Checks Skynet now verifies that HOT playable slots have HOT in their name Skynet now verifies that playable slots with HOT in their name are indeed HOT Skynet now verifies that Su27 aircrafts have 100% fuel (in editor, the default value is 56%) Fleet Fleet are now properly monitored by Skynet and will stop issuing 'unknown object' warnings Report Command Add Skynet version and current map name is the report log to make them easier to find Server Full Restart Every 5 resets, the server will now automatically shutdown and restart (so about every 20h) Export Data Skynet can now outputs the export data in the log (the data used by addons like Tacview) This will be used to debug some bugs In Map: Open Conflict Khashuri - v6.3.2 Duel Slots Added A10C (HOT), A10A, Su25 and Su25T slots for duels (Requested by IAS2424) M2000C duel slots are now HOT to help with respawn time In NEW Map: Open Conflict Tuapse - v2.9.0 BETA This is the first public release of the mission so don't hesitate to post feedback here or use the '-report' command. It's supposed the be playable but I might have missed some things since building a map from scratch is a lot of work. The mission contains the same kind of objectives and features as Open Conflict Khashuri so you guys shouldn't be lost. Located in a coastal settings, the rescue system has been updated to work at sea using rescue ships. All objectives are here and but some are more or less finished.

(Next Reset) Server and Map updated to DCS v1.5.4.54855 I know, it's late but it's a minor update not breaking the server connection In Masterscript: Skynet v3.2.3 FARP Checks Skynet now checks the number of helicopter per FARP and will issue an error if it's more than 4 Script Exceptions Fix 2 more exceptions in Database:4212 and MissionCommands:777

Yea I am now working on another mission. I don't post my progress because it's not yet released but I still could post some release notes if you want to be appraised of the progress. Release notes can be a bit tricky to understand when you never played the map but I could make them more like progress notes. I don't know :)

In Masterscript: Skynet v3.2.2 Chat Commands Chat command log will now include the name of the player executing the command Chat command error message will now be added to my system logs ('You are too far', 'You are not parked'....) 'Drop/Unload Cargo' are now called 'Jettison Cargo' to make sure people know it's not a casual command 'Jettison Cargo' will still try a 'Deliver Cargo' before dropping everything Fix a script exception in 'Deliver Cargo' command Objectives Added more checks and warnings to validate objectives declared in the map Rescue attractors (for sea rescue) now ignores active units in their zone (Only impact Open Conflict Tuapse) Gazelle Model L now has 1 more passenger slots than the Gazelle M This will allow this lighter model to do captive extraction Multiple Missions Prep Work Skynet now parses the server mission list, removes the unofficial ones and build its own list Add an admin command to manual schedule a mission change for next reset This will allow me to test every Skynet systems when reseting the server to a different map

No problemo. Field hospital and medical center are indeed 2 different objectives. I am working on some more fixes and also improving my debug log to include some more information to track this kind of bugs even of you don't use the 'report'

So, from your description, it seems like you got confused somewhere. The Medical center doesn't need repair parts or personnel. This location is a rescue drop off and delivery pick-up, not delivery drop off. The green smoke is here to mark the hospital accepting downed pilot for rescue. Delivery objective are shown using '-tr' Rescue objective are shown using '-re' Some objectives are in both category like safe house accepts downed pilots and some delivery so make sure to read the popup carefully. 'Drop Cargo' will always work as it's basically jettisoning your cargo. Maybe I should actually use this name and call it 'Jettison Cargo'

I am glad you guys like the update. Considering the amount of changes, the release went smoother that I thought :lol: Still working on some fix and the new costal map, can wait to do a public test session with it :pilotfly: Even with my trackID config ****ed up, I had fun yesterday coming back to the game after a long break. I can tell you my story too: A10C goes to war, 2 brave enemy fighters go for him, their blood injected eyes only see the A10C, not my Su27 coming for them. Killed a F15C ; the other fighter engaged me, we lose each other in the mountains. The A10C did not survived but the pilot was rescued. The end :)

It's easy, don't do anything before consulting this thread. Follow this thread instructions at all costs!!! :music_whistling:

In Masterscript: Skynet v3.2.1 Fixed: 'Closest Objective To Destroy' could be friendly Fixed: Medical Supplies missing from Delivery Pick-Up points Reported by Special K [*]Fixed: Wrong sounds for 'new rescue' and 'new capture' notifications [*]Fixed: Rescue and Capture Extraction time limit Was active but not displayed in intel reports Reported by No Gravitas

As I posted 1234951723569000235293745842395726020A143957694820 times, don't update until I post that the server has been updated :lol:

Updated Script and Mission Released Mission Release notes here Script Release notes here I will monitor the server closely and also record the flights on tacview to help debug. Don't hesitate to report bug with '-report <bug description>' command

It's not yet released :cry: The new mission version comes with a dawn thunderstorm so you will be able to see if the update is released :D

If I put the same effort in learning the huey that I put in learning how to dogfight, bvr and kill F15C, I would be able to land without entering vortex ring state. I guess knowing the phenomena is the first step to avoid it :thumbup:

Yea I am constantly trying to fix problems like that. The only player input tools I have are chat command and radio menu and the only output tools are text popup, sounds (limited because of mission size) and chat combat log. It's not that bad but I wish I had graphical user interface, keybindings, voice commands and such :music_whistling: It's a lot of tries and errors to make Skynet interactive and accessible. :helpsmilie: I am still not 100% happy with it, especially for VR. Also I would like to voice everything but the mission would be too large :mad:

Soon™ in Map: Open Conflict Khashuri - v6.3.0 (If all goes well, this will be released this weekend) Map Optimization Removed some objects to increase map performance and refocus the objectives Don't panic, more content will respawn to compensate Removed Nuke Zones / Bases that were consuming a lot of static objects while not being nuked that much The locations will be used for the respawning incursion system [*]Removed Infiltrations The locations will be used for the respawning incursion system This will also free the use of flare for other gameplay [*]Removed SAM10s in protected zones The Hawk SAMs will suffice to protect the border with the conflict line Intruders trying to troll around the zone will still be dealt with by the protected zone scripted flaks [*]Moved blue Medical Center south Further from mountains and deeper in protected zone This will allow me to remove some northern SAMS that were especially added to protected this location [*]Removed EWR groups Awacs should be enough [*]Removed Mountain outposts These objective were too distant and almost never attacked This will free some more static objects Red Side Khashuri Base Moved south east to Vedreba to benefit from additional protection from hills This new location is very close to where Agara FARP was so... Delivery drop-off objective 'Agara FARP' has been moved south and is now hidden in a mini valley near Bobnevi Delivery Main objectives Red Bobnevi Drop-off objective (ex Agara FARP) No longer near a road so... Now requires helicopter pilots instead of tank commanders When resupplied, now spawns an helicopter flight instead of a convoy Helicopters will attack blue Khashuri base Red Leningori FARP Now required tank commanders instead of helicopter pilots When resupplied, now spawns a convoy instead of an helicopter flight Convoy will attack blue Tskhinvali base with artillery Blue Surami FARP When resupplied, spawned convoy will now go attack red Khashuri base with artillery. New Red Base @ Perevi Added red base (listening post) @ Perevi Designed to be the red counterpart to blue objective Tskhinvali Red Perevi and Blue Tskhinvali bases are only defended by AAAs Infantry Objectives Added RPG Soldiers Respawning Incursion System Inject Red and Blue Infantry objectives in the system Inject Red Perevi and Blue Tskhinvali defenses in the system Inject Red Lanchhuti and Blue Rustavi defenses in the system Convoys Route changed Convoys now spawn in the center of the CZ and will head towards the enemy home zone Now respawns (requires DCS 1.5.4) Spotters Remove spotters for some objectives Bases with SAMs still have spotters Briefing New briefing images Added one to better explain chat and radio commands FOBs (Forward Operating Base) Added a fourth FARP to Gori and Zestafoni FOBs Gazelle Added Uk Skins Added some L model

Soon™ in Masterscript: Skynet v3.2.0 Everything explained here Database Fixed BMP-3 display name (was BMP1) Transport/Delivery 'Drop All Cargo' command will now attempt to execute a 'Deliver Cargo' command first This will avoid confusion between the 2 commands resulting in cargo being lost Objective Detailed Report Added grid information for immobile objectives (ex: LM42)

Nice video, I wish I could pilot the huey but I keep on dropping from the sky when I try to land :helpsmilie:

This is typically the kind of workaround that confuses new players and comes back to me as "Open Conflict is bugged ; I spawn 10m from the FARP but can't rearm and I slide down the terrain's slope". But that's ok, I prefer to add MOAR FARP at the FOBs than using a half finished feature that will confuse players. A bug fix that would allow me to add more than 4 helicopters on a FARP without them spawning outside landing pads would be nice tho (like it does on carrier). With now 4 FARP per FOBs, they are starting to become cities ; I'll have to add a whole food, a cinema complex and some parks for the children :lol:

I am still unsure. It all depends how finished, cool and liked the mission is. :lol:
