  1. Hi all, hope you are well, I'm having a bit of a weird connection issue connecting to my DCS OB Server.

    off the bat this issue only affects the DCS OB Server, no other servers are affected 

    so what's happening?

    I run a small server for me and my friends to play games on, for network security, I have the server machine on a dedicated "guest" network that is separate from all other networks with no LAN/Intranet access, due to this setting I have to use my external IP address to connect to the server rather than the servers internal IP address. this is no trouble at all for my Arma 3 and Arma reforger servers with them I punch in the External IP and boom, connect easily, however, the DCS Server is not so lucky. If I put in the IP and Port in it it goes through to a generic loading screen but does not click over to the server loading screen and I can not see the PC trying to connect on the server dashboard. after the first attempt the ip connect option will not work again, however, I am now able to see the server in the server list (I should note at this point that the server is not public, we connect via IP) if I click on the server now listed in the server list it attempts to connect but won't connect and I do not see an attempted connection in the dashboard, same behavior as the first time I try to IP connect.

    again this is only an issue for DCS, other servers hosted on the same machine have no issue connecting at all.

    some more info...

    I only run one server at a time so when DCS is up only DCS is, none of the other servers, so there's no conflict there

    the correct ports are opened and forwarded, as other players can connect regardless of my connection method or issues

    other players are successfully connecting and playing using the exact same external IP that I am unable to connect with. had 6 on during one of the tests I did, and none of them had issues

    the "guest" network only has an access point and the server on it, nothing else

    I can connect to the server if I use a VPN on my PC, not an option I want to use

    The server has a static IP that works regardless of the connection type

    I can connect if I remove the LAN/Intranet Restriction on the "Guest" network, this just puts the server on the LAN and I can connect using the internal IP address, and this defeats the point of the security Im trying to keep

    I can also connect if I move the connection to a slot on my switch which is on a completely separate VLAN to my PC (I have to use the External IP to connect, not internal as it's on a separate VLAN)

    and of cores, I can connect if I put it on the same LAN as the PC (external or internal IP works this way)

    again, I do not have any of these issues with the other servers I host, I can connect to them on the separate "Guest" network using the external IP with no issues at all

    so as you can see it connects fine unless I'm using the separate "guest" network WITH the LAN restriction, I'm not sure where to go or what the issue could be

    any help or ideas are greatly appreciated, I'm not really sure what is going on or why, it's a bit weird

    anyway, hopefully someone here can help me, or at least report this as a bug maybe?

    Cheers guys

  2. I'm not using vr, just standard dcs and as far as I know the audio in English was a aetting in the options menu, very weird, interesting that it doesn't happen to you when you start it as a mission, I'll do a repair just incase and see if that helps, it's just weird cause I'm not really running any mods

     

    But so far I'm at a loss

  3. FFB, force feed back, the p was a typo

    No clickable Cockpit for fc3 mod

    A4 and CAM are the only mods I have on

    Only having the issue with the su33, happens in instant action, user made missions, air start, hot start and cold start

    I have tried and used the successfully in, f15c, su25t, su27 

    I'll put a track together tonight and upload

  4. im at my wits end with this,

     

    i have tried for the better part of an hour to get the su33 autopilot to work and it won't, every time I hit the auto pilot button I get

     

    WARNING AUTOPILOT and a red light

     

    it will not turn on, not in general not in any specific mode

     

    I've chased every forum thread about it too

     

    not using FFP, and my dead zones are now massive, i have made sure that none of the inputs of my sticks are overriding anything even remotely to do with them, I did not have this issue when flew the su27 24 hours ago

     

    what am I missing?

  5. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK, I HAS SOME NEWS!

     

    it only happens at dusk and at night (prob dawn too, I didn't check) I deleted the fxo and meta shaders, did a full repair checked everything, and had no luck, I think it has something to do with the lighting changes in the evenings, it does not happen during the day, it only happens in the evenings (and dawn I guess) and it does not happen at any time without exports. I reverted back to my old graphics settings and there was no change, it was not doing this before the 2.9 patch at all regardless of the time of day

    so far I have tested only with the F16 and F18 but I'm sure it will affect others

    I threw this together to show you,

    you can see the flashes in both MFDs, with 2030 being the worst, right at the end I included a snippet of 2030 with no exports for comparison, the only thing that's changing in the video is the time of day, all other things are identical

    not sure what causing it but I can replicate it easily now

    here is the mission file too

    DUSK.miz

    that way you can test (if you have the Viper or change it to F18)

    I would never have noticed it if it wasn't for Juice over at AWG showing off the new color tint things, I was trying them out at dusk (because pretty) when this all started, and no it's not those, the flashes are there regardless of the filter being used, even if none are being used, it's still there, I normally only fly during the day cause I'm lazy and a crap pilot haha

     

    hopefully, this is somewhat helpful in diagnosing the problem

  6. It's happening in the f18 as well, not sure what could be causing it, it's random as, definitely not a helios thing that for sure, could be a problem with one of the new dcs graphics settings maybe

    It's happening on both screens at the same time, so the flicker happens on the in game screen and the export screen at the same exact time on the same mfds, it's not rolling or alternating or anything 

  7. I remember having a great time at nerdy Lan party's playing heros of the pacific in an mp game mode called fox and hounds, I was wondering If it was something possible in dcs?

     

    In the game mode one player was chosen at random as the fox then the other players were the hounds, they had to shoot the fox, the player that shot the fox then became the fox and everyone turned on them, the fox aircraft trailed smoke to identify them there was a points system but I can't remember how it worked, basically the longer you were the fox the more point you got, most points at the end won

     

    Does anyone know if this is a thing in dcs already or if it's something that's possible?

    Would be an awesome way to sharpen BFM skills and have a laugh at the same time

  8. I'm not really sure what's causing the issue, I know that the one in user files doesn't have the f15e on it, maybe the guys on your server added the f15e and maybe got something wrong? I'm not sure, either way u hope to have an updated version that I have confirmed works this week

    I really don't know what could be causing you to be unable to get into Viper, is it all vipers or just the one at base? Have you tried the dogfight or sead Vipers?
