But isn't the steam and standalone version updated by now? ... Why won't the update work then? Have you tried forcing the update by running the DCS updater with the update command through the windows command prompt like shown in this thread: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=114030 I'm sure you already have but I'm just poking around in the dark here, I'm starved on my OC addiction... :D EDIT: Oh ok, I'll downgrade again for how, it's 481MB, but OC again, so worth it!

I made the mistake of updating too early again... I'll just wait. :(

In some cases yes, for example destroying the defences of the RED East Khashuri base spawns a retaliation convoy with alot of SAM and AAA, as well as quite a bit of armor. Failing to stop this convoy in time will result in it crushing the BLUE West Khashuri base.

No problem CrimsonGhost, always glad to help! :D @Mirknir: Maybe just put the link in your signature?

I had the same problem in the Ka-50, until I found out you can use RAlt and your normal radio button (so RAlt+/ or RAlt+#) to open your comms menu in flight. The red smoke brackets the target areas (mostly like a triangle with the targets somewhere inside), but not making it too easy to find them. Look of the F10 map for the Infantry soldiers which are where the smoke comes from. They are bracketing the target areas for you to find them on the map, at least the stationary ones. Be aware that the moving convoys cannot be marked this way and instead have to be found by using the help feature in the radio menu. The particular mission you saw with flares popping up is the bomb defusal mission. There are several trucks full of explosives set around the city area there, which need to be found and either destroyed or disarmed by landing next to them and using the option in the radio menu. The flares are actually popping up from the position of the trucks, to make it easier to find them, especially if there are only a few left.

That made me laugh more than it should...

Everything in that railway hideout is very easy to kill, except the buildings next to the track and the trucks on the train cart for some reason. I always take 10 S-13 in my Ka-50 for that mission, one pair on each building and one pair on that truck cart, voilà!

I just got my pay a few days early, expect donation in the next few minutes! :D EDIT: Need to make a Paypal account, should have one anyway... EDIT2: Argh, they now want to verify everything and send 0.01$ together with a code for the account, this take 1-2days it says. I'm just going to drop by a friend with a working account and give him the money and do it there... EDIT3: Ok, luckily he was there and had the time to do this with me. You should have received a donation with a small text attached, I know it's not that much but all I can spare right now.

I feel like I'm the sole reason for that change... :P

Can you elaborate on those 'anti troll changes'? According to Blitz_USMC (I didn't witness it myself) at least 7 different occasions of intentional team-kill-ramming happend in Senaki due to trolls ramming ppl by diving into them on the ground during the course of only a few (~30) minutes. Several of those by supposedly the same guy, which didn't get autobanned/-kicked for some reason. To be honest, I'm not sure if it really happend and as I said I'm just stating what I've been told, I've never seen more than a single occasion in a row and I've been autokicked for mere lag-ramming on the ground myself before, so I know the system usually works and is quite strict. @ShadowBolt0057: The server is running on the lastest OpenBeta version (1.5.3) right now. Make sure you have the same version, you should be able to see it then.

Very nice changes again! :D

Nice changes, especially the bunkers being swapped by something less hardend. You keep surprising me with your speed Mirk, great job on the fixes too. :D

Thank you for making the trucks easier to see, I almost started pulling my hair out trying to find each one for hours... :helpsmilie: The struggle was real... Having only 1 left...

Updating to 1.5.3 again, that downgrade for more playtime was totally worth it, NO REGRETS! EDIT: Done! OC time once again! :D

I have a suggestion to experiment with: Seeing the disadvantage of SARH vs ARH missles, datalink is a good balancing factor (for doing stealth attacks). To make datalink more useful without being too overpowered, have you ever thought about removing the flying AWACS and trying to set up ground based EW radar stations near the bases only? That way, high flying players would still be detected far out, while flying low would be rewarded by dropping off radar more easily. Not sure how it would work out though. Another, maybe simpler way to test this would be moving the AWACS closer but letting it fly very low. Just a thought.

Ok, we'll manage I guess.

Intersting, looking forward to experimenting with those changes. I think I'll need to get even faster taking out SAMs then, otherwise I feel they will start logging even more kills... :P BTW, I'm noticing the server getting more and more often maxed out in player count. Are more than 20 slots possible or would performance become too much of a concern? Also, I wonder if there maybe should be 21 slots to account for the admin client, so that both teams have 10 players and not 9vs10(+Admin)?

Ok, I'm now in the process of downgrading again... :P Download speed is bad right now, see you in over an hour... :( EDIT: I can connect again! yay

Hey! :D ED Support was nice and quick and got me a working account, for some reason my registration was denied over and over. I love this server, I will totally donate next month, I'm broke from buying modules right now... :P EDIT: I just patched to 1.5.3 and didn't find the server, I guess you are updating soon?
