Schnarre Aggro

well sry for starting "fight thread" but jdams nead an SPI . :smartass: scenario: u are i a hurry - 8nm to target - hasty searching for tanks in TGP... Got one (close to wp but NOT on it)! -> stationary target so i take Jdam - chose it ... 4nm out - hurry! - align with PBIL ... 3sec to pickle - PICKLE ! You will most likely not hit ur target , cause in the upper scenarion u forgot to set the SPI on ur TGP. results in flying onto the PBIL which is based on the SPI(most likey still on the WP) and u do not recognize that because the target is next to the WP -> u look at the target BUT u are firing at the SPI ! Solution: ALWAYS make sure that ur SPI is set to the Sensor with which u are "Monitoring the target / delivering the weapon"

i just had a ctd after pressing the weapon jettison button (5dmav/5cbu97 left).... please check .... if more of this happens we should make a bugreport :music_whistling:

latitude and longitude coordinates will work as well AFAIK

there is nothing more to say ;-) , +1 cause that is exactly what i like to see as well :thumbup:

+1 i do love the external views as well ... you play ....get shot down .... and u still can enjoy the flight :thumbup: and if u have a flight under "real condition" - it is a desicion of honor not use the externals :smartass:

Im extremly interested as well BUT i voted with "not possible to do" ! dont get me wrong its "technically" very possible to do, but u allways have to keep in mind that this will end up in a MASSIVE AMOUNT OF WORK for at least 5-10 people over a longer period of time. Had this Idea before with ArmaII and DCS and i calculated over the Thump that u will have 10hours of work for about 1hour of flying ;-) despite that u need: Website; Ts; Gameservers and of course lots of pilots :joystick::pilotfly:

do u think its possible to make a TSviewer with that? hopefully we get a "sticky post" with the "community TS viewer" ?

after reading all the posts i think I come up with a "new" idea (basically its not new its a combination of tygers and grimes ideas with some "spiced"-AGGROthoughts) 1. FREE FLIGHT (like viper said) 2. JIP ENGAGEMENT (mission like Mad Thommy just described ... with no need to be there at start) 2.1 JIP ENGAGEMENT EASY (like Tyger said) 2.2 JIP ENGAGEMENT MEDIUM (like Tyger said) 2.3 JIP ENGAGEMENT HARD (like Tyger said) 3. TACTICAL ENGAMENT 3.1 TACTICAL ENGAGEMENT EASY 3.2 TACTICAL ENGAGEMENT MEDIUM 3.3 TACTICAL ENGAGEMENT HARD With "TACTICAL ENGAGEMENT" i mean: missions which are designed to be started together and flown together from the start. For example: u have a task wich is triggered at a specific time and you have to be there and watch an "object"(think of a single UAZ , which leads u to the actual target) for a certain time -> come late and dont find the targets anymore(cause they moved into a direction which is not announced) or: u have a specific time window in which u are able to fly through the SAMcurtain or: Missions which are built up on teamwork - for example 1 tgp for a flight of4 for but all have as LGB12s....or u have two (or more) targets which are to be destroyed shortly after another or the enemy starts his defencesystem(sams etc)..... summa summarum i mean missions which cannot be made if u come late or u do not obey the briefing and go for lonewolfstuff, thats what i understand if anyone talks "tactical" ;-) I hope anyone gets my point :-) got to get back to work ...

yeb 4 me too (i mean another misssion to test) Its nice to have a 6 slot mission ... cause my Inetconnection is only sufficient for MAXIMUM 6 pilots:smartass:

I FULLY SUPPORT this open TSserver for the DCS community ... but really, Krebs20, your idea is THAT FINE , that ED should "catch the ball" and rent a TSserver and name it "Official DCS Community TS" and give it to the folks for free .... maybe there is a "softwaresollution" for connecting the joinability to the CDkey or sth :book: to keep the "hawx pilots" out of our game ...eeehhh.... SIM of course :joystick: (take the last joke with humor please) Schnarre

wohoooo :joystick:

I voted other! I only close my server/hostmachine if: 1. ther is a mission which needs to be played with a huge amount of koordination -> and this u wont get with just the chatoption. 2.Further more it is a "join in progress thing" ... if u make up a plan "how-to" do a mission , i like the folks to be there from start to end .... kind of a "immersiveness-thing" Schnarre P.s.: I never close my server for the circumstance of "idiots come in and kill the mission "(by killing the tanker for instance) ... My experience is that there are lots of people who dont know how to "act as an adult simmer", BUT if u talk direct to them i always found a huge amount of understanding and the will to do it better ... I have a huge amount of patience for the new ones ;-).... and almost everyone gets a second chance to show his worth(be an enrichement for other players) !

I broke my mind allready on that before the discussion starts:thumbup:... in fact ... some(74th/=STP=) allready gave it a shot and started out with a "newcomertraining" .....this should/would be the first step in a Categorie for MPmissions. for example: 1. "Communitytraining for DCS Newcomer" - hotas setup, help with statup, basic flight systems -> a free "supervised" flying with focus on fun and bringing the new ones off the ground (OPEN SERVER) 2. "Advanced Training" - the next step from "fLight to fight" (open for those who signend in ... doesnt matter with which tool .. but i advertise the ATO once more ...CLOSED SERVER) 3. "tactical engagement" - Use what u learned in a real mission environment ( for those who signed in and of course on a CLOSED SERVER) 4. "FUN engagement" - Use what u learned in a real mission environment (OPEN SERVER) 5. "aerobatics" - no guns just funs (OPEN OR CLOSED SERVER) ... depend on the program which will be flown 6. "Internal flights" - weather invited or signed in doesnt matter ... this is a Squadron internal Flight only for those who signed in a squadron CLOSED SERVER) I thought a lot about this and i still think with these few "missiontypes" u can cover almost every "way of flying the Hog/FC2/Ka50" I think as well that the names, I gave the "missions",is pretty much self explaining ... no matter if u played hawx or whatsoever ... u will understand ;-) Edith says: I especially did not call the flights CAS or CAP or ... ... that is sth only immersed people understand and will not help the "community" and the "less NERDED pilots" at all ( i call myself a nerd with more than 250h on the a10C)

I ... for myself (and hopefully all other =STP=Hosts) fully support this initiative ! (i will have a talkback with the other hosts at =STP= and hope to get them in the boat as well) =STP= Schnarre

well ... i checked back and i have to say ... CUSTOM PAYLOADS WORK LIKE BEFORE ! .... the only thing u have to do is Take the original 1.0.0.8 Unitpayloads(from the installfolder) and copy it into /Users/.... Then u can do ur payloads in ME , and after u r done - copy the "Unitpayload" back to the Installfolder... Reason for that, is the changed "unitpayload" from 1.0.0.8 .... the old payloads arent working cause the 1.0.0.7 version is not compatible with the 1.0.0.8 version of the "unitpayload" I tried it and it worked ... I give BIG CREDITS to the user "Marki"(=STP=Forum) for finding this out ...hes new and he started helping out all others from the beginning :thumbup: =STP= Schnarre

@viper if u do a MPrelated thread, wouldnt it be a "logical" choice to move the "AirTaskingOrder"-thread and the "Communitytraining for DCS Newcomer"-thread to this new section ? As far as I understood the thread here, The ATO and Newcomertraining are the "perfect steps" to connect the community and (lets say) "to transfer the noobs to combatreadynes" Ato: show the flights which are announced(date,server,ts) with the rules(Pw or no PW, no tk, no taxywayTO, etc) and the briefing(combatmission, trainingmission, specific intel or pics etc) Communitytraining: get the new guys started(supervised learning by doing, help with hotassetup, etc) without have them to join up a squadron. If more Squadron take advantage of these 2 "tools" we(the whole online Community) generate a much faster growing community of onlinepilots based on the simple psychological fact that it is more appreciated to "do what u like than do what u have to" regarding joining a squad or entering the TS. .... remember ... were still doing that for fun and in our leasurtime. hope the "thought" is understood ....its pretty hard to come to the point in a foreign laguage ;-) =STP= Schnarre

a new pilot in our forum (=STP=) just told me that he got it done .... but i dont remember correctly how .... Ill check back and report as soon as i know how to do it ;-) =STP= Schnarre

yeb just tried it as well and it still works ! really great thing this Thread here.... if u have some FPS to spend on (mycase) i definately recommend to invest the Frames in better Quality .... looks S.O. M.U.C.H. B.E.T.T.E.R

did anyone try this with 1.0.0.8 ?

well ... im not sure ... maybe someone can help me ... with a patch the devs try to fix things which does not work right ? then im wondering what was so damn wrong on the radiomenue that they have to "worsefix" it ? 1. its not possible to read the loadouts anymore 2.its not possible to read the loadouts anymore 3. the workaround with the custompayloads doesnt work anymore ... did i metion: its not possible to read the loadouts anymore Have they really not tried to rearm in MP ??? i will not believe that .... cant be .... they would have seen that THERE IS STH TERRIBLY WRONG but Im so glad .... at least we have a door ladder to look at while we cannot read the loadouts i think i said before (and if not):its not possible to read the loadouts anymore despite that ... good patch ;-) Note: read this with a laughing and a crying eye schnarre

Gerritboom should show up tonight ... i will tell him :thumbup:

i only had time for some screens on the taxiway :smartass: ... probably the screen with the most (11) DCS:Hogs on it :thumbup:

just go to http://www.quasar-49th.de/briefing_tool/index.php there u see an "Community Training for DCS:A10C Newcomer(74th)" .... now just click on this "flight" and choose the slot u like to take part in the training on the 2nd of June 2011 and as password u take "sunrise" and there u go :pilotfly: TeamSpeak3 data is also available in the ATO-flight enjoy ;-)

Hiho Flew the MPmission tonight ... wasnt to hard after the sa11 was down ... needed to rearm 2 twice... I flew the first strike with 6 mavs the second strike with 6 mavs the third strike with 6 mavs 6gbu12 2cbu105 2cbu97 1150CM(took out all arty with the gun:joystick:) i got all targets except one hind...i would have just needed 40 more rounds ;-) it was really fun ... had some real nice gunruns .... and i just lost one mfcd cadc cicu eac ... stuff u dont need ;-)
