So with the new 1.5.5 update I've noticed some changes to the RWR. Most problems I'm having I think* is due to user error so I'm not posting in that section. My problem/question is, when the RWR is powered up it is by default not in search mode. No problem, I select search mode and can now see searching radars. However missle launches and spikes are not indicated unless I remove search mode. Example, today with a friend I had him to turn his radar on and I could not see him, hit search and bam there he was. Then I said lock me up, he did, no change to RWR he showed as nails. I removed search mode and then noticed he was now shown as a spike. Also missles launches, while audio is apparent in search mode there is no visual indication unles of course I click again to remove search mode. I feel that having to toggle between modes is incorrect and I've combed through chucks guide and bellsimtek manual but there is nothing describing procedures to operate the RWR. Any help/info would be appreciated. Also is it for sure true that being hard locked by an enemy air target has NO audio? I find that so strange and contradictory to a RWarningR itself

Lol wow ^ to the sweetheart comments Anyhoo, Mirk I think you would be happy to know I was able to get on with some regulars and we all had a crash/lag/stutter free session for over an hour (then I left willingly for football ������ After killing F15 with F5) the only thing I remember being a hit was some of the guys said they had to stop their live streams to keep pings down for themselves. I'm thinking related to the overall increase in bandwidth from the 1.5.5 patch from ED. Looking forward to having a 48 hour sim fest Monday-Tuesday until I will be away for a while. I wish you got a job with ED I think you could teach all those vodka lovers some very usefully programming / script writing concepts. I did notice a very noticeable increase in FPS without AI cap... Which as a helo pilot you know I love!!! Hehe Thanks for getting her back online even tho I know it may not be perfect like you prefer, you should know OC broken is 5x better than any other DCS server not broken :thumbup:

No worries don't stress Mirk! Enjoy your Sunday fun day !

Yeah other serves are actually playable now! Would be great to get one last shot at some OC as I'll be shipping for two months Wednesday next week!:cry: Shooting down Bert comes with a price! He's very high risk because I've seen him shoot down more fighters in an A10 then I see normal fighters fight fighters lol

Take your time doing yardwork for another hour!

:thumbup: sweet thanks! Cosmicdoubloon in F5 training today, my F5 ways have began to rub off on people hehe

Perhaps some different F5 skins on bluefor? like aggressor marines? :) The Asia is great, USA std grey is..well meh lol

1.5.5 is out f5 wingflexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Love your MANPAD idea they are so fun. I feel easier to defeat then an advanced AAA system. Especially in helos.

To be honest im pretty sure I've collided with more aircraft using the RUNWAY then taxiway. The only time I really hit someone on a taxiway was in a p51 with a wicked crosswind and I plummeted into bert who woefully decided to rearm right in the middle of it:smilewink:

It's literally the only server in DCS that has ANY weather. Every single other server on 1.5 is clear as Russian vodka. Also I think the majority of people love it, myself included. It adds such a dynamic that changes the traditional "air quake" gameplay seen on the majority of other servers. The taxiway takeoff thing I may be guilty of that allegedly lol if Mirknir changes that rule please post it here because I would say 69% of my takeoff are from something other than a runway, especially in that HOT m2k omg it's so tempting to just turn left and get airborne lol Since requests are being posted I had a ? For Mirk I seem to recall we had this discussion and there was a logical reason behind not adding it but I seem to have forgot-the infantry incursions, any chance to replace an RPG or 2 with MANPADS? Perhaps not on the first one but maybe it's respawned counterpart? Also MAYKOP. Someone was talking about a "dynamic" style objective? Like would it be possible to land on it and then generate a message saying "MAYKOP now captured by REDFOR" or something, allowing players to re arm there? Idk just an egg nog discussion forum post! Cheers! :beer:

As Mirknir was saying, tankers are now a legit objective and require defenses from players or else you may find your self in formation with a hostile Mirage...like Bert trolling this poor F15 before wasting him with guns:megalol:

wrecked^:smartass:

I gotta say, I love the new tanker routes lol twice now have I been fueling then been surprised by an enemy fighter trying to get an easy kill. Yesterday it was with cosmic when all of a sudden the tanker started pumping out flares as I was mesmerized I then realized that was probably a bad sign and let into a multiple aircraft furball. Today, refueling properly with a trailer as cover a sneaky Sukoi tried to get the jump on me and I literally watched the IL 78 blow up as I was tanking. Luckily my wingman cravgar shocked the sneaky breeky with a magic straight up the tail pipe before he could get another shot off. Good times!

Unacceptable. High and fast and left of centerline. I expect better of you. Also BERT wasn't supposed to be on today?!!

OMG the new weather is the BEST i have ever seen in DCS!!!:thumbup::thumbup: I had to get back on tonight just to see the new update. A quick L39 run with Bert, here you can see us laying waste to the incursion. This weather will significantly help us little light attack/trainer aircraft guys evade the mighty modern fighters! (also for the record i shot down F15 in L39 just so everyone knows. My first a2a kill will it lol) The level of fog with high overcast is stunning. Excellent for HELO PARTYS! And the density of the fog is perfect, just enough to obscure some stuff but not too thick to where the air quake players would complain about not being able to find airports :lol: Navigation skills will actually be useful now! EXCELLENT update Mirk!:thumbup::pilotfly:

Aw well it's winter in real life anyway so it's more realistic this way you could say?:smartass: Perhaps blizzard conditions may return? Or classic fall weather with medium temp but matching dew point hindering visibility immensely? Never seen that in MP!;) COSMIC! Get on today I'm in desperate need of helo party

Ooo guess I better get my warbird flying done now while it's nice and cool lol

-Short story, Open Conflict Tuapse- The radio crackeld to life, " we have a friendly F5 that just landed near a friendly sam base that is currently in contact with enemy aircraft and under enemy artillery fire!' The only CAS aircraft we have on station is a single A10C! Scramble, scramble, scramble! The sound of the Lycoming turbine engine began to whine as it struggled to start in the subzero temperature but eventually the thump of the slick Huey single rotor blade began to echo across the frozen valley. ETA 18 minutes. We have an A10 on station providing CAS. Moments later, Voodoo1 voodo1 radar contact 15 miles hes doing 500 kts. The A10 immediately switched to a2a mode and began utilizing the awacs instructions to target. Danger close 3 miles...MERGE! A swooping hard left turn the a10 jumped the enemy fighter and the aim9m growl quickly sheered to an ear piercing zing. FOX2! Splash! Over the immense enemy ground fire the the stricken F5 pilot began to hear the legendary sound of rotors, "rescue 1 has eyes on green smoke." The helicopter landed in the soft snow and loaded the pilots. "Archangel this is rescue 1, troops on board and green, coming out." The helicopter spooled to high idle flinging snow and ice in all directions as it lifted off and disappeared into the snow capped mountain tops. Mission Success.

Few randoms pics of the regular duo delivering some freedom to the reds. And then m2k

excellent!

Good stuff cosmic! I will be on this week as I originally was not going to be on at all. Hope to see you around! I'm in need of a helo party!

love it. 1 question, who is flying the smiley face pattern? I vote Tu22AI so he doesn't scare me with those fighter warnings :lol: This would really help the m2ks on redfor to refill at entrance of danger zone. As it is right now you must baby fuel coming all the way from Gudauta.

Lol that's exactly what happened to me too. 2 steps forward 4 steps back

I've had some successful sorties with mid air refuel but this is only if you time it right and the tankers were as far out on their route as possible. I like their voulnerability but I would agree as to move them every further into the zone since they are supposed to be on "effective" tanking routes in Touapse map
