Open Conflict server all the way. Always something to do there. Check out the thread in the multiplayer section of the forum here. It has become my go to server for fun times, and playing around/learning new modules. Check it out, you won't regret it.

Quick question for all of you who enjoy this server as much as I do. Would you be interested in a dedicated Teamspeak server for use here? Often times I find myself on the server, trying to coordinate plans with other players, and having to type it all out is cumbersome at best. If this is something you would like to see either post a reply here, or PM me. I have talked about this with Mirknir, and I think we can make it happen. If there is enough interest in making it happen, i think we can do this fairly quickly. Let me know what you all think.

Clickable pits in the SU-27 and F-15 needs be a thing. I can't get into them otherwise. Maybe it's just too many years in other sims with high fidelity cockpits.

I was messing around with the jammer pod this morning on the open conflict server this morning to see what it would do. I climbed up to roughly 25000ft, turned on the music, and proceeded to fly straight and level into bandit country to see how long it would take me to get shot down. I was very surprised at how far I got. Wound up taking a heater from an AI CAP to bring me down. I also tried orbiting above some of the other players in their fighters to see if it would have any effect, but no one was very talkative when it came to replies to my inquiries. Nonetheless, this could be very interesting if it is permitted for use in the next round of Blue Flag.

I have yet to be able to get the chute to drop via my assignment on my X55. Deploys ok, but randomly goes away a couple minutes after hitting the switch, then trying full throttle like you are. This is on the ground though.

Yep, I tried the "solutions" to enable 4K, and not only did clouds flicker and cockpits become dark holes, it actually ran worse. And I get the same result as you with the single card, so I will just stay with that until I can do a Pascal based build.

DCS in 4K is stunning, if you have the power to run it. My 4790K and SLI 970's are decent enough. Now we just need proper SLI support from ED/Nvidia. Hence my post above making sure F2 would still be available. :)

Wow, I never knew about this F5 cheat. I can certainly agree that it needs to go. But I do not want to lose all external views. Sometimes it's nice to go into F2 mode and marvel at the beauty that is DCS World. I hope a compromise can be reached.

I am installing the stable release now in the hopes this will get me back online. The server list has been very small compared to what it has been recently. Would have been nice if we were informed that this update would break server compatibility. But I guess that's the joy of open beta.

Thanks for the update! It's things like this that Betas are for.

I never even thought of waiting to update. It's so easy now since it pops right up in your face when start the program. Also, just sent a small token of appreciation for what you do to keep the server up and running. Thank you.

Hey Mirknir, after applying the update that came out this weekend, your server does not show up in the list. Not to mention most other servers are not listed as before. Does the server need an update to the current version?

I will second, third, fourth, and fifth this. This needs to be addressed by the ED team. Does it render the Hokum useless? Not at all. But the code needs to be fixed. Its understandable that original code did not include this hemisphere as there were no plans for this aircraft to be in Nevada of all places. But now that it is, we need a proper fix.

Well, maybe if we keep this alive long enough, it will eventually be addressed.

Mirknir, have you looked at possibly setting up a Discord server for the Open Conflict server? My FSX/P3D group uses it and it is very simple. And the best part, its free. Here is a link to the software. https://discordapp.com/

Throwing my name in for the next Blue Flag. Looking for a squadron willing to accept a relative newbie to DCS. I plan on doing mostly rotary wing operations. LoneWolf: Bluefor Callsign: CrimsonGhost Preferred AC: KA-50, Mi-8 Alternative AC: UH-1

Thanks for all the suggestions. I will have to give these a try. If anyone ever cares to join up I can usually be found on the Open Conflict server after work each morning. Usually 1300Z-1500Z. This is my go to server to try out new modules and practice.

Ok. I am officially blind. :) I saw it. But perhaps you should post it here for all to see.

Maybe I am just blind, but where might someone donate to help advance things along and help with the project? I have no idea what it takes to make all this happen, but one glance at the mission editor tells me that it's quite a lot. I would be happy to contribute how and where I can.

Thanks for the quick reply Anna. Seems odd that the KA-50 would have a comms issue with the map. Must be a module specific item. Will give your suggestions a try. And thanks for the info on the flares. Never saw any trucks while investigating the area, but at least I know what to look for now. :)

Yep, been dropping the collective completely, and adding it back in as I get lower while making sure not to over torque. Will have to experiment with turns. I'll post what I find after some testing.

As the title says, I am curious what procedure is typically used to decelerate quickly from cruise to get into position for hover? I have been pitching up and lowering the collective but it seems to take forever to bleed off airspeed. This typically works with standard configuration helicopters, but does the coaxial rotor system change this at all? Some pro tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have been having a problem lately on the Open Conflict Server and am curious if anyone else has encountered the same issue. The problem is that shortly after takeoff I am unable to open the comms window at all. The command does not work at all. Also, I dont know if its related or not, but the other day I was cruising around in the KA-50, unable to get target reports due to the above issue. After about 30 min cruising around the conflict zone I stumbled across some red smoke, but could not find anything in the area. And to make things more confusing, pairs of flares were shooting out of ground all over the area marked by the red smoke. Anyone else seen this, or is this something wrong on my end?

Sorry to necro an older thread, but has anyone heard an update on this? Ive been trying to learn the KA-50 using the 476th vfg training range, but still have not been able to enter coords in the PVI.

I really enjoy this server. It's my go to server for learning new aircraft in a populated environment. Been practicing CSAR in my recently acquired Mi-8 in preparation for the next round of blue flag. I would love to see a similar server setup for the NTTR, and the scenario is ideally suited for that map as well. I would definitely be willing to contribute to make that happen. There is not a lot of options yet for MP NTTR.
