=BURNING SKIES= WWII Server

[mblackham]

Hey eekz. There is a lot of base killing going on atm. Would it be possible to add more air defenses?

 

 

 

Yea, it’s a regular problem. People getting in close and doing low sweeps killing people in respawn and takeoff.

There already quite a lot AAA. The problem that allied AAA is anti high alt and seems to be useless vs low level manevuring targets. I could use Zu-23 for a while. But I hope more low alt AAA should be added to wwii asset pack too.

That sounds like a great idea. Thanks for considering!

would it be completely out of the question to exclude Kegetys VR shader mod from integrity check?

 

 

Thanks

yes please + 1

[eekz]

Is it possible to exclude single mod from IC?

eekz possible the Label Mod is not working anymore after the Recent Patch..

Can get it to work anymore...

[DefaultFace]

+1 between the horrible performance and no labels mod its really unplayable in this patch.

[eekz]

Is it broken? I has no spare time to look into patchnotes. What did change? Do other label mods work?!

[DefaultFace]

My guess is it has to do with the labels they implemented themselves. Apparently there is now an option to make "dot only" labels or full labels natively in dcs. Although the "dot" labels are a Caret ( this symbol ^ ) and not a dot.

 

I assume whatever they changed broke it as it was definitely not working yesterday.

Thats correct Eekz, I’m pretty sure the new label selections that ED added broke the label Mod. also the non dot- dot label (^) is color coded. Why they couldn’t add a non colored label selection is beyond me.

Ok. seems labels.lua format changed significantly

Need to make new Burning Skies labels file. Will do today and keep you updated.

Thanks for notifying :)

I enabled new option DOT ONLY provided in DCS. Check please if it's working.

[DefaultFace]

Thanks eekz. Hopefully will test it later today.

[eekz]

FYI

Seems that currently it's not possible to force server setting with not new label file in the mission. I was mistaken that I've turned dot only for MP.

So I've added clouds and turned labels off. Will be making new labels file asap.

[saburo_cz]

it is right decision to switch the "game labels" switch off

they are really not useful for realistic server.. IMO, better without them

(blue dots are less visible)

They was enabled accidentally. Now labels should be off and clouds on. Currently looking into new labels format.

I used to use the dot label mod. Without it, DCS is unplayable. :(

[Brigg]

absolutely we need it. people with higher resolutions are massively handicapped without it. wont be flying BS again until they are back

[DefaultFace]

Same for VR. Close to impossible without them.

[eekz]

Labels will be back soon. I'll make new labels file asap.

Meanwhile, I've put the updated mission to the server with sub-mission mechanics. Not much there currently but only 1 mission with submissions for each side because I want to test if they work correctly. If yes, I'll be updating it with more missions, things that I've promised in the past and your recent feedback.

 

To do list is impressive :)

Actually I find long distance target detection on high targets easier in VR. For other situation, I don't really know. We're not too handicapped with detection in VR, if you ask me. The label mode made labels stick out a LOT in VR and we were having a big advantage here

I see you added wind and clouds, which is great! However, there are 2 problems with the clouds:

 

1) The cloud base is too low at 800m. 1500-2000 would be more realistic.

 

2) The weather is static, so if I take off from Evreux, there are clouds, but by the time I reach Carpiquet, they are gone. They are only rendered around the player's spawn area. It can be overcome by applying dynamic weather. 1 or 2 cyclone areas should do the trick.
