dooom

I still want, want, want paratroopers in this game! The ability to compliment gameplay across all modules is absolutely immense! From Russian VDV operations through simulated Korean or WWII insertions... If the Mission editors could "load" the requisite AI with infantry and equipment then this could even bring a HUGE compliment to Combined Arms. Yes... I know I necromanced my old thread but heck - i see some pretty solid validations as to why this would be nothing short of awesome in some of these responses. perhaps now that the modules have grown, this might be something that can be debated again?? :thumbup:

Thanks stonehouse - you helped quite a bit while I was drafting it for wwii. I do need more feedback though so if anyone had flown it, or ran it in a server for any extended period, please let me know how things went.

this was actually a WWII mission that i re-purposed quickly for the Korean era... does that make me lazy ? :P Hopefully there will be some solid feedback to tighten the screws but it should be playable

Happy to give it away to the community... I think its close enough for a release now... might be a few bugs but whatevz...:joystick: NOTE - uses Bo Niddle Skinpack: http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/?arrFilter_CREATED_USER_NAME=Bo_Nidle&set_filter=Y&arrFilter_pf%5Bfiletype%5D=6&arrFilter_pf%5Bgameversion%5D=137&arrFilter_pf%5Bfilelang%5D=&arrFilter_pf%5Baircraft%5D= This is a longer mission using Ground RADAR, Flak, AI patrols and ground targets.

Thanks towsim! We will look forward to giving it another try tonight and watch earnestly for Bf109 support. Cheers,

hey guys - some DoW guys tried this tonight in the p51 and it seems to be working fine... but now that i enables aries radio... it keeps trying to start up with each DCS mission... i disabled the plugin but it still fires up. is there any way to shut it "off" when i dont want to use it?

very neat..

We had 28 humans + AI on the Dow server last night - good times

Hmm ... Don't have one for rockets but I can certainly make one.... I'm away this weekend but I'll try to put something together soon

See my sig for bombing guide... As for rockets - use the horizontal bars below the fixed sight - when your target fits between them , fire Make sure you watch your yaw trim

Easiest ? Matter of process I'd say... But the 190 has less chance of blowing off awing or an engine

I hope the methodology for bringing stats to bear might be shared? DoW would certainly love to implement this on our servers

did you photograph or archive the details of your build? I'm interested

Doh... I should probably give you an updated version.... You make me feel guilty I haven't touched it in a while.... Dang p51 is a jealous mistress

... how on earth do you only have a rep power of 1??!?!?!? this podcast brings much to the community.

Yes to all... iF it works...:D

i flew it tonight and it crushed my pc while i tried to fly and host... :D that said, it really seemed to actually work well - i think we are going to try powderkeg on the dedi soon so hopefully I can watch performance with a higher client load.

Operation POWDERKEG is almost ready. It has some pretty long flight times + AI + GCI + CAP + simulated "radar"

... it still kills me... KILLS ME that your rep power is only 5.

Heya Stone, 2 quick questions: I have 4 CAPzones on blue + 4 CAPzones on red: 1) WIth local numberofredCAPgroups = X in the configuration... is it limited to 4 (i.e. the # of CAPzones?) or can i increase it to 8 to have 2x flights in each zone? 2) With numberofspawnedandactiveinterceptorgroupsRED = XX in the configuration... I had it at 3 - can i place it higher to increase the chances of an AI intercept on a client? what are the drawbacks of making this 8? Thanks... it seems things run just fine but i am noting that client folks are still rarely ever intercepted... AI goes balls out after AI but things seem light for client a2a. I also note in tacview that the 55G6EWR doesnt show any red "bubbles" that typically indicate detection zones... the Hawk is fine so I'm not sure if that matters?

I agree with merlin on the threshold... if the server gets 5 or more - it ramps up to double digits pretty quick.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY!

Actually there was a full demo in the reveal where they actually used the headset to create a 3D plan and mock of a quadcopter - they also let all journalists experience a full demo of working units after the reveal - of which many have written their account. The only application for sims that I can imagine flows from the "on Mars" demo.... I wonder if it could surround my desk with enough immersion /resolution for me to believe I am in a cockpit looking out???

... Another thought . This thing might actually make a treadmill fun. Imagine "run zombies" on this

I just want to play minecraft on it
