Counting the hours before I can get my dose of some open conflict!! Very cool idea about balancing team message when a player joins, you are genius Mirknir! :thumbup:

Lol maybe extend it too all aircraft and turn labels on and have a warning when missile is fired at players too ! :smartass:

:megalol: very true

That is an interesting thought decipher has which gave me a similar idea, what if when a player a rescue is open, what if there was a way for the rescuing pilot to make an F10 menu call to all players on their team requesting either CAP or CAS? I know we have the text box, but something similar to the ejection alert. That alert system is so perfect for grabbing players attention and for me personally makes me really excited and ready to get the rescue going. What if there was a similar type of request or alert box that can be asked through the F10 menu to supporting aircraft? Maybe players in Sus or the dreaded F15s will see the emergency request and divert from their current tasking to help support the rescue? Idk just thinking out loud myself. Lots of spare time at work this trip lol

I knew you liked watching us Huey's be hunted! Haha. There are some epic moments on the server the way it's set up with basically free for all in the conflict zone. I admit having watched a huey fly to a rescue that's blatantly defended by SAMs and AA but I say nothing and just spectate the fireball in the F2 view:music_whistling: I have also learned my lesson with the "warning message" now. I was flying high and careless just a few miles out from the hospital and saw a missile split second before my Huey was turned into an expensive chaff display! :doh: So excited to come back and fly with the new changes! Looking awesome Mirk! :)

Wow I love the AI "morale" feature! Guess I'll have to be a little more ambitious to rescue mr Afterburner Frittata!!

Lol no I meant you specifically. Mirknir=The Equalizer :)

Yeah you just join the opposing team to even it out :thumbup:

Hehe you never know what's in those cargo slots :D Question, with the talk of merging 1.5 and 2.0 to 2.5, will your server scripts be compatible if that happens?

So excited for this bird. Still confused on "early access" two stage release process tho. Does that mean early access may be out in June with full release in July? Or early access in July with release after that? Already pre purchased hope it's the sooner one!

No vkb pedals here, but I am interested in how you like the warthog for control? I'm currently looking to upgrade from my X52...trying to deceive between x56 and TM. I just know TM can be really stiff..

always showboating :smilewink:

Yeah it's an airwolf mod I have it downloaded. I think I just realized I've been flying with my laser beam destruction cannon in the standby position too, time to shake things up on that medevac chopper of mine. Btw see that awesome F5^? Get used to seeing it from your rear view mirror Mirk come July :)

Haha scared?! Never :) just a little bit but that was due to a lack of Vodka. As for the warning, I don't feel it helped too much, and I can see why people enjoy it. However it did give me a sense of " non chalantless" I guess when there "wasn't" and enemy nearby. Before I would just use conflict zone report to see enemy fighters, and when there is one in the zone but not "nearby" I guess I just feel a sense of "not to worry?" I guess? Hard to explain. But I do see why people like it, I guess it's helpful for those who don't want to fly in "serious" mode the whole route. :) Anyway, a thought I had, instead of spamming smoke request for downed pilot like I do lols, what if there was an option to request signal flare at say 5nm? It came to mind when I was flying by the infiltration looking at those signal flares. Maybe a request to flare as well as smoke. Might be kinda cool! That way when pilot is in rough terrain it would help determine best course to take? Anyway the field hospital system IS EPIC. I love it! My new favorite addition since the entire rescue system you designed! It's so fun to prep it then use it as staging area. Maybe an option to smoke (60 second max) for the field hospital? There's an identical complex about a mile east that I almost landed at twice today:doh:

The supply base convoy looks like its ready to move out at any moment :smilewink: I had a good experience this morning, picked up 2 pilots around the HEAVILY defended ambro base (always a challenge finding LZs there its great!) and then the other pilot got shot down right in convoy path, had 2 su25s on station picking away at the convoy until I could move in for the rescue at BINGO fuel. Totally epic experience :thumbup: I think the triggering of convoys would be cool, but maybe 3 roaming around at a time would be a lot of work lol The field hospital is awesome too! really hard to find I circled around for a few minutes until I just used f10 map to land pretty much right on the building. Might be helpful to some players if there was a tent or too to help identify the spot. Or maybe a few equally spaced out tents forcing players to land accurately between them? idk. Low profile is good too, keeps those damn fighters away from spotting us. Anyway all the changes are great so far I'm loving them Mirk! However the kutasi pub does not open til noon! This could have a negative impact on morale for us chopper pilots :D

This does help hearing first hand. I have too also looked into just getting an extension as well for the TM. Thanks for the info guys keep em coming

So I currently have a Saitek x52 that I use for DCS. I really only fly vintage aircraft, and really no interest in flying the A10. The most of which I fly is of course the Huey. I am in the market to upgrade my stick but I have several concerns. I will also be flying the F5E and F18 a monumental amount when they are released too, so with that in mind these are my problems.. I have heard of many common stiction issues with the TMWarthog, I have seen the videos on taking them apart and fixing them and while I don't really like that idea, especially after spending 400$ on the set, it may be the only option. Also with the Warthog, I hear it is quite stiff, anybody on here fly the Huey with the "stock" warthog? I have yet again seen many mods to reduce tension etc etc but can that really be the best option? Buy a 400$ setup just to modify it? I REALLY want to justify the stick and get it, but for some reason I just can't yet knowing these issues. Then comes the X56, and I know there are many complaints and a general hatred toward Saitek. However I have had no problems whatsoever with my x52 other than running out of programmable buttons. It has been very nice for the Huey as Helicopters generally require a lighter touch on the controls. Seeing Saiteks interchangeable springs this intrigues me. I know there are helicopter specific controls such as Kommodo and a few others, but if I spend over 1500$ on a collective and stick setup I'm pretty sure my commanding officer will file for divorce. I am willing to spend the money for the warthog but I either need more convincing from actual users or perhaps some other suggestion on what to do. Any input is great!

:rotflmao: I literally LOLd at that names list. That is fantastic!

Haha I'm sorry my "comments" offended you, I just like the "realism" factor of going after the actual pilots. But I stand totally corrected on AI ejection, the way Mirknir has presented the system it is actually quite great! No surprise there, anything he does has only been a wonderful addition to an existing awesome server. And as far as I know, the only thing Mirknir worries about are those F15s!! :smilewink: Also @Samek, with over 3000 hours in RW helicopters and an additional 6000 in fixed wing aircraft I am fully aware of how flight crews work together :thumbup: I just felt it would be something that takes away form the "immersion" of the sim. But we agree to disagree so lets just leave it at that.

Have you tried taking out the artillery convoy? its very very challenging and its pretty close to the FARP where gaz spawns. But its perfect terrain to try and set up sneak attack. There is good ambush spots on the route of the convoy too. However I still am not 100% successful yet. Matter of fact after a half dozen tries I think I only got 1 or 2 vehicles and that was after a shark took out the tanks lol

lol I don't know why everyone is hating on me, just because my personal preference isn't what you prefer doesn't make you right and me wrong, or vice versa Samek. And I have special interest in this topic because I believe I did bring the idea of a pilot eject rescue system up to Mirknir in the first place, of course he took a simple idea and turned it into the wonderful awesome crazy complex idea that is the best thing that happened to DCS since the dawn of DCS. The only reason I was against a warning system is that I felt it takes away form the "thrill of the mission." Example, when flying in the conflict zone you are constantly under the assumption you can be blasted out of the sky at any second, and the longer you are in the zone the greater this tension builds. Case in point, when CEPGA and I went on a rescue (to save Mirk actually :thumbup: )we flew over an hour into enemy territory and by the time we were evacuating the area heading home, my palms were sweating because you have that much MORE time invested in the specific rescue. This of course is ALL due to the fact that all the conditions overhead are "unknown." And if you really have to look, you can request conflict status to see how many enemy fighters in the zone. With a warning system nearby that just means you can fly straight, high, and fast until someone is "near" then hit the deck and try to hide, as opposed to constantly flying the right way, avoiding open areas, staying low, etc etc. That is all I was trying to convey in my disagreement. :smilewink:

Hey everyone, I am starting from scratch to make a build targeting DCS and possibly Arma3 but the priority is DCS. I want a DCS monster eater, however I do NOT plan on using VR or multiple monitors. Right now I use a 30'' single monitor. At the most probably 4k at some point in the future. I am a career aviator so I actually enjoy not being under the VR hood for my sims and do not need a VR capable setup if thats a thing.. With that said the last computer I built was nearly 8 years ago now and my friend who really helped me put the rig together back then has since passed away. But I figure building is still better than buying. My biggest question is "brands." I have done some most research on the type of things I need but as for first hand experience and recommendations I really only have the rating or number of "stars" each product has ben issued. I hope I am on the right track with this list, however I could be far from it (hopefully not lol) if you have some personal experience or know of some things that can be better any advice is GREATLY appreciated.

I have exact same issues, 60fps in huey 20-15 in gaz. But check this out, when I look down in pilot seat at where my lap would be my FPS shoots up to 40...consistently. No idea what that is about. Is there a way to remove that damn yaw string? lol i7 2600k 3.4ghz 16GB Ram GTX580
