I for one will be happy to purchase a license, I’ve offered this over a year ago, but due to technical issues Alpenwolf was unable to get LotATC to work correctly. This will make my life simpler, I’ve already got LotATC and will be your first GCI tonight. Get the word out and let’s make this server populated with like minded members of the DCS family.

!!GBU Bombing!! Well as the title says, GBU 12's bombing on the enemy farp is a real blast. With the aid of air support and a ground JTAC (Player Driven) you can cause chaos for those all around it. I have a collection of video's for you to watch to enjoy the fun we had making this happen. Only one negative point. We were accused of camping. I'm not sure how they could say this, the name of the game is to either destroy thy enemy or suppress it, to put them on the back foot as they say. That's what we did, don't get upset, get even. You can always team up with others and suppress our CAP making it impossible for us to use CAS. (Rant over)! Thanks to Hades 2 for CAS and Ocean 2 for CAP. Enjoy!! https://www.twitch.tv/collections/kZJLkzA3thbxuQ

Last night was a great teaser playing the red side for a change. I learnt a lot and enjoyed myself immensely. Thanks for a great mission, I'm not saying I did much, without the other players, you just have pilots bumbling around the map waiting to die or to find a plane from the other side to kill. I shows that teamwork is key in the DCS world. Let's keep up the teamwork and ensure your SRS is on to help the others fight the fight. Congratulations on the win Red's, you earned it. Until the next fight.. MikeDelta = Merlin https://www.twitch.tv/mikedelta_dcs

!Friendly fire incident! Just to remind pilots of the dangers. This is an AI incident, but none the less still friendly fire. Please note that since the last update, I’ve seen this happen twice. The fire came from a CHAP launcher, and you can see that it hits both friendly fighters. Granted they are in line of the enemy so yes they would of been hit in real life. However in real life, the operator would of held their fire until a safe release could be achieved. This was the first of two separate Friendly fire incidents in this mission. https://clips.twitch.tv/BlindingKathishHamSeemsGood-asaWDLXENsaESDdZ Upon deeper investigation, I see that the enemy plane was destroyed and off screen prior to the second release of the missile. The AI, may still have eyes on the destroyed mig due to the aircraft still being in the air at time of the second launch. Cheers, Mike-Delta

We are still losing gazzeles during catch me if you can. We tried both slots to land and go back to GCI to help out and upon my return the gazzeles were lost. We tested this out to ensure it was not a mixup, same answer. Impossible to work with. I'm not sure what can be done about this factor, yet another bug that needs ironing out. See you in the next fight..... Mike-Delta

I’m aware of the ai turning off the switch, it’s when I’m in multi crew when this happens. My real pilot was flying the uh1-h and I was sitting in the left seat. It just failed to allow me to fire.

Thanks for the explanation, I’m glad it’s not a regular thing, I would go mad if it was. I’m doing some training tonight, so I’ll not be on mission. I will be on tomorrow evening for the Helo mission. Looking forward to it. Until then, I’ll see you in the next fight. Mike-Delta

Behind enemy lines. Sorry, I’ll ensure I get the mission details next time. We still fraught through the mission, it was just as much fun without any vehicles. We just deployed our own. thanks again, Mike-Delta

Last night, yet again, an F-14 killing an F5. I’ve seen this, time after time, and all I can do is watch. I’ve given permission to shoot friendly fighters because the killed aircraft and ground troop. They don’t respond and the only way to stop it is kill them. Here is the link to show the stupidity of what really happened. https://clips.twitch.tv/IgnorantBetterSalmonPicoMause-XYwmam4QvioBJyHz Callsign Muzi”badger”Muzi Mike-Delta

mission has not spawned any blue vehicles... Thanks, Mike-Delta

In multicrew, unable to fire mini guns as the co-pilot, after rockets been fired by pilot.

Hi again chaps, This is a little more explaining how to do some of the things that a ground commander does, if your thinking about combined arms, check it out. It's sometimes frustrating as you will see, but you will get a flavour of how much fun it can be using the ground vehicles. It also proves that one man can change the war if your wanting to help your side seek victory. Enjoy the mission. https://m.twitch.tv/mikedelta_dcs/home I’ve changed the link to my channel, the old link would be dead due to time limits of the upload. See you in the next fight... Mike-Delta

Hi Guy’s, I’ve started to stream as a GCI, and ground commander. I hope to learn and in turn help others with how difficult being a DCS GCI really is while moving tanks and the like. Here is a link to show how a lonely Stinger can make your day, really bad. https://clips.twitch.tv/PhilanthropicWonderfulHumanAMPTropPunch-v7qDTw567MCI3DzU See you in the next fight… Mike-Delta

I have spoken to him and advised him of the issue, he will reduce the sorties on the subject. He didn't know that you were talking about him, it's resolved and should be better in the future. Happy flying... Mike-Delta

Your a great DCS pilot, you don't need the EWR or a GCI, I send my best pilots against you. Take it as a compliment, not a critisam. I wish you had a GCI on the RED team as dedicated as I am, it may happen, who knows. I'm thinking of how to resolve this. I don't like people changing sides, but to give the server the better chance of enjoyment by me changing sides troubles me. I know what tactic's are used, how they deploy, christ, I taught most of how things should be done. The thing is, this happens to us on a number of occations, I've spent hours working like a dog trying to stop the waves of fighters, helicoptors, and BMP's. I finnish in sweat, but knowing that was a great battle, not once have I ever asked for help. Sometimes, life is like a box of chocolates. See you in the next fight, Mike-Delta... Thanks, I'm feel hubbled. Mike-Delta

I agree of what you say. I spoke to the person in question, and he was not aware of the problem that he was creating. I spoke with him and he is within his right to keep doing what he is doing, but for the health of the server, he'll reduce the impact of his effectiveness and not purposely destroy all ewr's.. Last night I and another pilot came across an EWR, yes we destroyed it, and I don't have issues with it. We don't get ewr reports in the huey, but seeing it was a bonus for us. 2x cub sites and an ewr for 2 huey's and return home was fantastic. It's the reason we enjoy this server. Mike-Delta

Hi guys, As you all know I do spend some time on this server. I like many others enjoy the freindship, gameplay and passion for all things of the coldwar. We have a good thing, don't let your mission developer down by not contributing. Please give something to help out Alpenwolf pay for the server and his time put into this fantastic server. If your like me, forgetting to drop a few pence into the server pockets so that this great server can continue, don't delay. If you can't because your not in a position, then remember when you are. Thanks guy's, it is just being a good team player. This is the PAYPAL address to use: hokumyounis@yahoo.com Regards, Mike-Delta

Blue GCI please Mike-Delta

Hi guys, this topic is sore for some and fun for others. I’m not trolling anyone with this message, and just wish to point out facts. I have seen this happen time after time and it is a fog of war tactic. Being a GCI, is more than just sending fighters in to shoot other fighters down. You are there to aid the battle in what ever you can. Move vehicles, set traps for fighters, drive vehicles and shoot the odd aircraft if they come within your envelope. I use all tactics of war and keep an open mind as to what the enemy is doing. Often I disable HAWK sites, EWR’s, reduce kill zones for more effective results, place ground vehicles in such a way to that they don’t all die with a single pass. Its your own fault if you lose the turn fight if you commit to it with not knowing how to BFM. Why complain if you don’t protect your equipment. I know it’s frustrating not having coverage, I’ve been there, it hurts. Do you see me writing about it in forums? As a rhetorical question I’m not asking you to answer it, just take the time to help your team mates. Be the guy who helps others, and make the mission more fulfilling by guarding your sites. DCS is built around the combined arms, it also gives you the tools to defend as well as attack. Your failure is in your hands. Im not asking for people to get upset with me, pointing out the obvious that we all know. If you spent 30 minutes in a 4 hour mission taking turns you can have a memorable mission. You get just as much pleasure fighting as an E2 operator than a fighter pilot. Trust me, it’s not easy, but it’s worth the work. Thanks for taking the time to understand the bigger picture, Alpenwolf has a huge job, planning missions, and answering questions that with thought, could be resolved simply. Enjoy the fight, help others and respect each other. Cheers, Mike-Delta

Uncool cheating this evening. Nothing worse that players swapping sides and destroying the vehicles with intent. Callsigns =X51=AK & =BK=Chekist[39] both swopped sides during the last couple of hours because we were starting to push them back. I could of missed it if I was not watching as GCI. This thankfully is not a common thing, I'm not saying it was just red, it depends upon whom they wish to mess around on the side. I did notice the reds having issue with pilots killing their own ground targets, like wise not cool. because you do it to your side does'nt make it right to then do it on the other to ballence it out. I know there are some speople whom enjoy this soret of thing, but you spend good money on this sim. Don't waste it. Rant over............ Mike-Delta..

I have been trying to do some training on the RIO cold Start up. This has not been possible due to the missing overlays in the rio cockpit. I've added pictures to show the issue. I'm using the latest dcs stand alone beta version. I've tried to load other training sessions and they seem to be okay. Thanks, MarkM-D

Hi Alpenwolf, I would like Huey, if there is no GCI on the day I will be happy to take this option. Thanks, Mark {Mike-Delta}

The_TAU The beacon works for the helicopter dropping the beacon, once you get a new bird, it fails to work.Just do what you did in game, call me and ask for directions. Thanks for the help with the helo's tonight...

I have written to Ed regardingthis issue, they are aware of it and have it on the list of bigs to fix. I have also tested the moon states and the best is 1 to 3 days before total dark. This still gives halo of aircraft but fades within 4 nm. That was the best we could find. ED are also going to add the moon states for developers to allow them to know what the night scene would be without having to load up the mission and check each time. It's just a matter of time. M-D

Smoke causes bad frame rates as a given, with all the updates lately I would expect drops over time. This is nothing to do with missions unless the following has been changed. Extra smoke pylons been used. Pilon’s of smoke are increased in size. To mitigate this, the Pylon size can be reduced in size. I'm not sure if two small smoke pylon’s would be better than one large pylon. Only testing would prove this. Mission making is tough and takes time, but if you have constructive criticism that has been tested, I’m sure that would help out AlpenWolf a lot. Hope this helps. Mark (Mike-Delta)
