AH-64D how to play with a friend without « port forwarding »
Flanky83 replied to Flanky83's topic in DCS: AH-64D
Some update on my side. I spend several hours with some expert from support. It turned out, I have a dedicated public address. It’s not shared. So all should be ok. We tried port forwarding the port 10308, but all checks done on portchecker.co/checking showed that the port is closed. They didn’t understand it, and told me that the port is open. Now I got it. Of course the port is closed. The port is only existing when I create a multiplayer server. I learned a lot during this exercise! Best training ever! I’m sorry for it. All is good! Now: “get to the Choppaaaa” -

So I tried with IPv6. It doesn’t work or I don’t understand anymore… Why is it so complicated -

They upgraded my router to IPv6. I will try with this. Crossing fingers because I already bought the AH-64… -

Thanks a lot for the answer. I expected more people in the same situation than me, but maybe I did something wrong. Do you have a website to check the port was forwarded? In the worst case, I will indeed use an empty training server! Thanks for the info. -
AH-64D how to play with a friend without « port forwarding »
Flanky83 replied to Flanky83's topic in DCS: AH-64D
I have to admit that I don’t fully understand yet the “port forwarding”, but we called our internet provider and got the confirmation that we cannot port forward. So hosting is not an option. -
Dear all I want to offer the DCS Apache to a friend. As this is a multicrew aircraft, the idea was to play/traine together, always on the apache in multiplayer. Now we tried the first option, which is to host a serveur. This is not possible as both of our routers cannot « port forward »(public IP only). I’m now unsure what other options we have to train/fly together in the same Apache online. Is someone in the same situation and found a workaround?

feedback Raven One Campaign Review / Feedback
Flanky83 replied to jmarso's topic in F/A-18C Raven One Campaign
I finished the campaign yesterday. I found this campaign very good. I learned a lot and enjoyed it. There are here and there some bugs, but a lot less than in Enemy Within 3.0. I found this campaign also a lot easier than the A-10 Enemy within 3.0. Thanks! -
How I manage to finish the mission: When the mission starts, just stay on course(not in afterburner), let Weed do the Job. Take altitude to increase the range of the Aim-120 . When you see a 29 on your EW, turn 180° and use your Aim-120 to kill him. Evade his missile. You maybe need to kill one remaining F-4. With this, the mission’s difficulty changes from impossible to easy. The air to air refueling is easy .

Don‘t worry, this pain is insignifiant compared to the immersion you guys build! Since more than a year, everytime I start my computer, it’s only for a baltic_dragon campaign. Thanks for that!

Sadly, this is still not fixed. It‘s really frustrating to do a nearly 2h mission and end up 3miles in front of the carrier without fuel just because no tanker is available… Why did it happen? Because I kept in mind (mission 08): „think about your wingman‘s fuel“. I then had to wait behind the tanker because the wingman took my turn. After the wingman finished refueling, the tanker S3 just runs away and lands on the carrier. I followed him, and came to 0 fuel just before reaching the carrier… I flipped out!!!! From now on, no more Mr Nice Guy!

cannot reproduce Mission 7 - Psycho won't drop bombs

For me it works just fine. I had to wait some time but then she drops the bombs. -
fixed Mission 04- "can not open debriefing file"
Flanky83 replied to waqarshk's topic in F/A-18C Raven One Campaign
Same issue here, no unofficial mods installed. I have just hornet/A10C& A10C2, supercarrier/persian gulf. What I realized however in mission04 is that there was absolutely no LSO grade for the recovery landing on the carrier. -
During the first refueling there are some messages of carrier recovery landing score. Strange. After refueling complete, no one talks and nothing happens. I think also my wingman somehow disappeared. After reaching waypoint 6 with no action, I decided to exit the mission. I could not restart after refuel but it restarted on the carrier. I guess I will load from 3a then…

Hi all I'm Flanky83. I'm not completely new in DCS, I started DCS in 2019 with the hornet. I'm now flying A-10 and F/A-18 hornet. My love for aviation started, a long time ago, with the F/A-18 hornet 2.0 on Mac. I was very young, but tried very hard to understand all the complex procedures of this aircraft. I also spend some time with A-10 Attack and Cuba. Not to forget Apache longbow 2. As my country just received F/A-18 hornets, I tried to become a fighter pilot. I passed several tests and ended up with 2 weeks flight school on the C-172, payed by the army . It was hard but very interesting. As I had no experience of flying, I didn't pass the tests and was not selected to fly on the hornet. That was hard to take, but I continued my passion and became mechanical engineer. I rediscovered my dream with the DCS F/A-18 hornet in VR! I'm very glad for this! I have now the Thrustmaster Warthog with hornet grip for full immersion ;-). Between Job, family and friends, it is hard to find time to fly. My progression on the hornet is therefore very limited. But the goal is clear: "being able to fly as close as possible to real hornet pilots". Good-speed!

I tried with the T.flight hotas X for weeks. No chance. I changed to warthog and it worked in 3days. Throttle and stick are just easier on the warthog.

You need a Thrustmaster wathog or Virpil. Everything lower than that you don’t stand a chance. What helped me: -Talk with someone in the background or listen to a movie. -Be trimmed at the required speed and altitude -Once trimmed, I imagine it like a lunar module docking(watch Apollo 13 movie). You give some tiny impulse on the stick to change your airplane’s course. Really the minimum the joystick can(I have warthog with hornet add-on). Move it and let it back to neutral. -A lot of people will contradict me, but I look at the basket most of the time. -If you feel you will miss the basket, reduce a bit the throttle and give time to the GE engine, they are slow to react.
-
Couldn’t agree more. This is exactly what I did, 20min aerial refueling every day. Not more. First 2-3days, I didn’t manage at all. I then disabled the wake turbulence. The next day first contact and 5seconds refueling. At the end of the week I managed full refueling with 5 attempts. I also failed at the beginning because I used the rudder to correct. Then I used only the stick and throttle. If you ask me(no pilote), don’t use the rudder!

Strange FPS drop over trees/low to ground
Flanky83 replied to Flanky83's topic in Game Performance Bugs
@impalor thanks for the link. I’m not using any other VR menu to start DCS than Oculus. Empty the Hangar is however a very good Idea, but after I googled it, I realized that it could also messed things up. -
Strange FPS drop over trees/low to ground
Flanky83 replied to Flanky83's topic in Game Performance Bugs
Hi Gryzor It is independent of the day time in the simulation. I had flat shadows enabled. I switched it off, it helped a bit, but it is still there. 90° left roll, if I turn my head (VR) to the ground, there it is: micro stuttering. Does not happen when on the airfield parked and looking left and right. -

Strange FPS drop over trees/low to ground
Flanky83 replied to Flanky83's topic in Game Performance Bugs
I run on HP Obelisk 875: -Intel i7-8700CPU @ 3.2GHz -32GB RAM -Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 -VR oculus Quest2 Windows11 DCS settings: Low Module: F/A-18 Hornet Issue: at low altitude when looking left or right in direction of the ground the image is stuttering. Same when a jet comes in opposite direction and I follow it left or right side of the cockpit. I will try to provide a track play. Thanks a lot. -

I have the exact same issue. Any update on this? I will try on Flight Simulator2020 with the Super Hornet and see if I get the same issue. By the way, I have a RTX-2070. Everything is smooth except when I look right or left to the ground. I‘m using vr quest2. I also put everything on low but nothing improved.
