@Pretorian and @Truneo. Don't you maybe want to join us in RedFor in the MI-8 before you are stuck on the reserve list and dont get to fly at all? :-)

What do you think of my ad poster for the Tournament? :-)

[CBI] Requiem - KA50

Hi, I noticed something on my Odyssey and wanted to ask if somebody else has experienced the same defect, since I couldn't find anything online. I've noticed that the right display is, especially in dark enviroments, noticably darker than the left display. This happens everywhere, in DCS, in the WMR Portal, in Steam and especially in Elite Dangerous (because space is dark of course). In Elite Dangerous it's so bad that some nebulae aren't even displayed on the right display, which result in a very cross eyed feeling. Since this happens absolutley everywhere (or at least everywhere I checked) and I'm on the most recent firmware, I'm suspecting that my Odyssey is slowly dying. So, has anybody experienced something like that or heard of this issues?

Well, sure you could use both radios but you'd still miss calls since you' d have to switch between vhf1 and vhf2 on the R-800 panel.

Guys, can we please go back to having this thread in english?

Just ignore this chair force general. He's talking out of his ass, is rude and obviously so technologically impaired that he can't neither use the open beta nor google translate. We had a ton of fun and that's all that counts. And I for one appreciate every single person who participated yesterday.

Hi folks, I've tried for a couple of times to fly my KA-50 on the larger MP servers and noticed that this is kinda boring. Whenever I reach a waypoint, the fast movers have already destroyed all targets and there is nothing to do for me. So I'm wondering, is this the nature of things or am I doing something wrong?

Check out the Tournament section of the forum. Next round is tomorrow/today and last time I cecked we still had one Hokum slot open.

Does anybody know how the Data Link behaves when more than four KA-50 are on the same radio frequency? In the Heli Tournaments we've got up to 12 KA-50 on the same GCI frequency and so far we didn't use the Data Link for target assignment, but I'd like to explore that option.

well, butter my backside and call me a buiscuit! Looks like for the first time we've got more signups for Red than blue! :-O

Admittedly I'm far from proficient with the mission editor, but I've tried all waypoint actions or assignments that I could think of an. As I mentioned it worked for gunships like the Cobra, Apache, Havok etc., so I think I had the right waypoint actions. My guess best is, that there is an AI table in the background for each unit which contains all valid target types and the Huey and the M and L Gazelles have only the type ground target registered.

I've noticed something about the Chopper AI in DCS. With the exception of the Gazelle Mistral, neither the Huey nor the other Gazelle variants reliably recognize the my chopper as an valid target. 9 out of 10 times (at least in my experience) the Gazelle L wouldn't fire on me and I never got the Huey or the Gazelle M to return fire or to engange me. Only when I swapped the Gazelles and Huey out for AH-1 Cobras did the AI engage me on its own, which of course ended nearly always in a disaster for me.

I'd love to have a training together beforehand, but I'm afraid coordinating one on such short notice is next to impossible.

I've got a question regarding the win condition. Is the match over once one side owns all airfields or is there gonna be a point system like in round 1&2 or is the win condition the complete elimination of the oponent?

I just started the next wave of my "subliminal" social media promotion for the event. Let's see if we get a couple more pilots or even a blue GCI this way.

Thank you!

If I just had the faintest idea of video editing, I'd make a trailer for the tournament with footage from the previous rounds. Just the sequence from round 3, where the Hokum is hunted by three Hueys and dodging the bullets left and right would make an excellent promo.

I took the liberty and linked this thread in the DCS Multiplayer Addicts group on Facebook. Maybe I'm going to make another post there, a week from the tournament to bump the topic up.

For round three we had a late comer signing up after he heard of the Tournament in a Facebook group. Promoting the Tournament via Social Media might bring in a couple more pilots and viewers.

[CBI] Requiem - KA-50

I'd say join the TeamSpeak server and we'll figure it out from there.

I've got the same issue, but only in the Open Beta. In the stable release the TV Is usable

PSA: I've noticed that the Shkval still works in the stable release version of DCS. The screen isn't drowned in glare and I could lock a AH-1W (which has a super small siloutte) from 8km away without losing the lock. So maybe having the Tournament with the stable release could level out the playing field, if ED doesn't fix the issue until then. On a related note: I've made a RedFor KA-50 training mission for the event and would like to invite all Werewolf pilots to a couple of trainig session to figure out some tactics.

Screen glare being realistic is all nice and well, but the screen glares in situations where the sun should be blocked by the airframe. It's like a 270° arc where the shkval in decypherable in varying degrees. Unfortunatley switching to metric didn't help with locking targets. But after some testing I found out that the Werewolf still works in the stable version of DCS. I could lock a AH-1W from 8km away.
