Is it me or does the scoreboard on the burnings skies website just not work? Ive spent hours on end on this server and never seen myself appear on the board. Am I missing something or is it just broken?

 

What is your nickname in the game?

Hey guy's

 

I got the OK from our server admin at 229th 1st Cav to use one of our Simple-radio server to use while your on Burning Skies. We are running SR ver 1.2.9.2 you can connect @ 216.239.235.156

 

I have Radio Expansion turn on so it should give you 3 different radios to use even though the Spit and P51 has 1 radio. I think we should make a standard for Airport freqs, likd channel A for airport operations and the B channel for Guard....The A to D channels are preset in ME so you can't change them but, the other 2 radios you can change the freqs on the overlay to different freqs and use them between squad mates to chat with. I think the A to D freqs channels match between the Spits and P51 but, not sure. I also have Coalition Security enable so, the Red side should be able to do the same thing.

 

If you do use the 229th SR please use the norm TS rules plz.

 

 

S!

 

That's cool. Do I need to install anything on the server?

What is weather setting on server map? It is not default, it is somehow tuned up, isn`t it?

Could you set it to default, because this "weird" setting constantly kills P-51 and D-9 engine without any reason...

Last example, few minutes before, i climbed with 2700/46inHG with speed above 200MPH and my engine quit at altitude approx. 15k ft. NO WEP used before ant TO power for less than one minute during TO.

And this is only last example, it happens very often...

No, it's not weather problem. You can see weather in briefing, and +15C at ground is not something that would kill engines. I would suggest to monitor your oil pressure. Especially during takeoff..

Interesting

I always wait on ground until oil reach 40°C temperature under 1300RPM and then i do magneto and supercharger check. Only after that i go take off...

And i am not only one who was this problem...

thanks for response

@eekz....I did some early test on your server and it works fine. I think the A and B channel in the Sipt are on the same freqs may need to look in ME.

 

I'll send you a pm to work out some standards and put the info in the mission briefing.

 

S!

For the Spit Radio to work you will need to replace the DCS-SimpleRadioStandalone.lua file with the attached file. I did a uninstall replaced it with new lua file and run the installer again. If anyone needs help let me know and we can meet on TS, in most cases it only takes about 5 min to install.

ANNOUNCEMENT

 

During next several days Burning Skies server will be shut down as the place where the server is hosted is going to move. We are sorry but we do not have estimates when the server will be online and whether it will be possible to host it at the same machine after moving.

 

We are looking for backup plan to host the server or rent a machine using specialized providers and are open for any propositions.

Is the server side labels mod disabled now on the servers? Had two sorties yesterday in the Spit, where I literaly flew around for an hour, basically exhausting my entire fuel looking for furballs and couldn't find anyone. This despite the fact that the server was 3/4 full...

 

Bad eyes or what?

No, there is was no change in labels settings.

Thanks for the reply eekz. Hmmm, maybe it's something with my settings. I didn't fly any WWII aircraft since enabling DSR 1440p on my 1080p monitor. Maybe it's not working right with the labels mod. Will try it again with 1080p.

Make sure to have labels enabled in your game client options.

Quick report back. I did have "labels on". However now that I've gone back to 1080p from DSR resolution I can see specks much easier than before. Though now Im having a harder time keeping a visual on bandits in close range.

 

Had a few fights yesterday, lost all of them. But at least I could find the furballs. :)

 

My ingame nick is "Jamezdin" if anyone wants to make fun of my horrible flying. Don't be too harsh, Im just starting out in the Spit.

 

P.S.

 

Eekz, any chance of a change of seasons for the mission? Just to spice things up a bit?

Yep, there will be seasons change when we move the server to new place and sort things out. Then I'll be back to mission making and will make different season versions.

Hi eekz,

 

Just a short note to say many thanks for your server and to ask a question.

Would it be possible to have some overcast cloud now and then, say about 3000 meters or so?

 

A grey overcast cloud, 360 degrees, that we need to break through to the sunlight for higher level combat, or stay under, would add to the immersive atmosphere. We would need to use our airmanship skills a bit more as well with some overcast conditions. Nothing too bad, but just something other than perfect weather every time.

 

Sorry if this has been asked before and it is not possible.

 

Thanks again.

 

Happy landings,

Just a quick question, on the brief it says to activate the grey dot mod with right shift F10, if my memory recall it right. Is it possible that it is on by default and that I deactivate it instead?

If you have labels enabled in game options then it will be on by default, yes. And LShift+F10 will disable them. So yes, if labels is on in game option you don't need to enable them manually.

Had my second try with the Spit, and must ask something: how effective is the cannon/gun against those ground targets?

 

I had couple of runs against same tank on the northern target spot, and never got him damaged. Or at least smoking.

 

Am I just not aiming right? How many gun runs are you doing to damage something?

Against tank, try to attack from the rear with 20mm only, 7mm won't do much

 

But if the 20mm damages tanks, you'd have to test that somewhere like in singleplayer or so...

 

Lighter armored targets work, no problems destroying them

Posted

But how are you doing guys because when I come to the target spot there are usually more than 50% targets destroyed, but can't help destroying a single one :D

 

Will have a single player session to test this!
