eekz Posted April 14, 2018 Author Share Posted April 14, 2018 That's a pity! What alternative for voice communication? I cannot effectively coordinate with buddies using the chat.

Campbell Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Probably in-game stat table has some kind of bug or something. Web-stats says you have 3 deaths in April. Oh ok, I wasn’t aware of any bugs.

saburo_cz Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Hey Eekz, I don’t normally complain about such things but I had a great flight this evening. I only died twice in game, a black out and a bail out. For some reason the in game stats gave me 5 deaths. I have no idea where they came from????

philstyle Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Hey Eekz, What setting do you use for "smoke density" on the fires you have placed on the "Road to Evreaux" mission? I notice some FPS loss around those; and also, when you use a high smoke density value, the smoke doesn't fade out/ disperse naturally. By lowering the value for the smoke density (use a value from the lowesst quarter along the slider), you can get better FPS as well as making it look more natural.

SharkBait Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) That's a pity! What alternative for voice communication? I cannot effectively coordinate with buddies using the chat. I know the Air Tactical Assault Group (which hosts a server for a different sim) has a lively TeamSpeak server, and they even created a channel for DCS. Their TS info is below. Unfortunately, there are not a lot of people that use it for DCS (likely because people don't know about it), but what I found is that if I let people know in chat that I'm on TeamSpeak and provide the address/password, sometimes people join me. Maybe you can try it too. The Air Tactical Assault Group (ATAG): Address: 216.52.148.29 Password: calais Like you, I'm a big proponent of using voice-chat for flight simming. It helps promote cooperation and calling out enemy contacts (and in a sim like DCS in which it is incredibly difficult to spot targets, this is very important!).

dFlow Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 from my point of view teamspeak isn't attractive in dcs. judging from acg cold war server, srs is a much better suitable - and much more immersive - communication tool. i believe in ww2 servers, such as the burning skies server, it would fit good as well.

skliff13 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 (edited) UPDATE: No need to download anything, all is already built into the mission. Just open your Kneeboard ("RShift + K") and spaw pages ("[" and "]") Hey everyone! Few will disagree that 'Road to Evreux' is pretty huge and difficult to navigate. Now it's easy to find the ground targets only (mostly due to GPS currently working in F10 view). But explainig to your ally where you are when you need help, as well as trying to understand the same information - is really a problem. I was thinking how one can make navigation in =BS= easier and came up with the following. I used airfields, ground targets locations and several big forests as landmarks, put them on the map, put some connections between the close landmarks, calculated distances and angles and finally got something like this: (the overall view) Cutting this into pieces, adding some info: and we get some nice slides for the kneeboard. Like these ones: Link to Google Drive to download everything: https://goo.gl/CDY5Ln All this can be used for finding the enemy who's attacking our forces at YV13 (where da hell is that??!1), calling for help, coming for help, gathering together with allies in an arbitrary place on the map (not just at the airfields). One can already use this online: just put the files "kneeboard_*.png" to "C:\Users\...\SavedGames\DCS\Kneeboard" folder (create if necessary). I've already tried this and found it lovely :) On my screen the slides are displayed pretty well. Any thoughts? Maybe we'll be able to turn off the GPS?.. :smilewink: P.S. The images are generated via some scripts, so performing variations to all this might be easy.

dFlow Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 this is a pretty good proposal! it is worth trying ... i would recommend to disable the gps as well. in case of ww2 this kind of map-navigation would be much more immersive combined with srs this would be really sweet! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's right! And one of the possible ways to let people know about the available TS channel is to put this info into the briefings. The questions is will the ATAG allow using their teamspeak for BS server. Guess we need to contact ATAG guys, and if they don't mind put the info into the briefing texts.
