Thank you very much. This seems to be exactly what I was looking for!

Who is doing the Cobra and Hind? This is the first I've heard of these.

Hello all. I've been looking for a mission as described above, and wondering if anyone has one made up that they would be willing to share? Something a bunch of random aircraft on tracks to learn new aircraft with. Can't seem to find much online, and I am miserable with the mission editor. Thanks in advance if anyone has anything.

Now this looks right up my alley! Will be in touch. East Coast US here as well. I am nowhere near a pro in any of the helos, but am a fast learner. And have been considering looking for a "squadron" to fly with. And I do lean towards the KA-50/Mi-8. But the Hip and its VRS have been giving me troubles lately. Will get better with time.

Hmm, that's odd. Send a PM to Mirknir, the server admin.

Hey Mirknir, I seem to be having an issue with the supply missions. I cannot seem to pick up ammunition in either the Mi-8 or the Huey. I promise I have checked everywhere I can think of before asking. :)

You are the man Mirknir! Thank you so much for all you do to provide us with a fun environment to fly in. Another question for you. How difficult would it be to have slightly longer mission cycles? Maybe 6 hour cycles? Give time to really dig into objectives. Just this morning it took forever to get all the cargo loaded in my Mi-8 due to ED's menus. Ate up a lot of time. Just a thought, not sure what others think.

Mirknir, is it possible to add the Teamspeak info into the MOTD on the server? I find that just about every time I log in, there is rarely anyone on the TS server, primarily because they just skip the briefing. May be another way to make those that just stumble into the server aware that it is available.

I'll add a vote for this option. Every MP server I've been on really limits your options. Would be nice to be able select a "slick" payload.

I finished up the same mission just little while ago. Was my first time back in the Huey in quite a while, and it sure was an adventure. Had her up to 10500ft at a couple points, and she did not like that at all. :) Pitot heat was on, but I lost my airspeed indicators for about 1/3 of the flight, and I actually had to use the engine anti-icing. I was quite relieved to make it to the FARP, and there was certainly a sense of accomplishment. I will have to start working on the rest of the missions soon. So far though I give it a big thumbs up.

I recently contacted Maple Flag about this, and long story short, all of their packages have been pulled so that they can be transferred into the DCS world store. Just like the Basic Flight Training Campaign that recently went on sale in the e-shop. Bad news, no ETA on when we will be able to purchase them. I was looking for the SU-27 and F-15 BFQ missions, and the feeling of chasing my own tail around the forums, download sections, and Maple's website is what lead me to contact them directly. Probably not the answer you were looking for, but that's where we stand.

Thanks for the info! I have noticed an increase in "hostility" in this and other threads, which is really bad. People need to support the Dev's through both the good and bad times. It seems the world is getting more and more entitled, and we all want the instant gratification. Or maybe I am just getting older. :doh:

Thunderstorm is up and rocking. Really good looking change of pace. Thanks for implementing this so fast Mirknir!

Wow, lots of updates and progress! Thanks for keeping us informed. I do have one question that I thought of after hearing a conversation on Teamspeak. Someone asked "Does the weather ever change on this server?" And that got me thinking. Would it be possible to have varying weather patterns? Is this something that has been considered previously?

I also do not know what is possible, but this certainly sounds like a step in the right direction. Randomization would be amazing.

Yes sir, those be the ones. I know they are supposed to be strong but 2 500lb penetrating bombs each seems a bit much. And with the GBU-10/12 just scratching it, I'm not sure what the fix is. On a side note, is there a section of the forum that has graphics that shows you what you are looking for at each type of objective? Maybe a "reconnaissance " photo of each objective style, along with notes on what is required to complete them? I imagine that would be a lot of work, but the photos in the first post of this thread aren't of much help. At least to a relatively new player in DCS world. Might help entice others to do more than the typical dogfighting you find on pretty much every other server out there.

Did anyone notice the lack of engine/rotor noise after start up in the last video? Maybe it was just on my end, but I could not hear a thing. But again, here is my weekly plea for release of this bird. Looks to have a lot of potential as a fast scout chopper and I'm ready for my repeated crashes until I get it right.

What I found to work on those bunkers is 2 of Russian Bet-500 penetrator bombs from the SU-25. A few sorties later and I moved onto the HE bombs for the rest. So yeah, they may be a little too resilient.

Ok Mirknir, I give up. I have been bombing the hell out of the Kutasi Abandoned Airfield Objective, and it is down to 1 box. Everything is dead. What is the trigger for this one? Edit: Found it. One little lone A-10..........

The address is in the server briefing as well as a few posts up. I will put it in again though. openconflictserver.typefrag.com Still hoping folks catch on to this, but activity has been increasing. Its much better than having to type everything.

Unfortunately there is nothing to prevent someone from the opposing team from hoping in your TS channel. It's very much an honor system. But I have created multiple rooms on each side so it shouldn't be too bad. Lastly, I can and will ban those people that abuse the system. Please don't hesitate to report abuses to me directly via PM.

This would also be a nice feature to have. Maybe an area that is restricted to non FC3 aircraft. Or at least the fighter variants.

Everyone spread the word on the Teamspeak Server please. Everytime I check in on it, its almost always empty. But it will probably get used more when the info get put into the briefing and server info.

This is the exact same situation I was in, and I love the server. So, I figured I would take matters into my own hands. With Mirknir's approval of course. It's his server. :) And I hate trying to type and fly in civilian sims, much less adding in a trimmer, weapon system, etc.

I got on the TS server before work to check into this. I have not used TS in forever so it took a bit to figure out what needed fixing, but it should be up and working now. I also added 3 sub channels to each side for those that would like to group off with their friends or wingmen. If anyone has any ideas on how to improve the TS experience in the server, please let me know and I will look into it. For the time being I think this will be a good starting point and I can make any necessary changes as the server matures. As always, have fun all!
