skliff13 Posted November 25, 2017 Posted November 25, 2017 Improved ground targets locations.. still not sure if i should use tanks as ground objectives There should be a way to make the tanks less "tanky". If they will die after one direct hit of rocket (instead of two as it is now), it would make the things easier. Right now I see these options: A) Make a Mod that decreases hit points of tanks and run this mod with the server. B) Assign a number of triggers like "OBJECT DAMAGED" -> "DESTROY OBJECT". Here we need to make sure that tanks don't die just because someone sneezed nearby. I have no idea how Mods are done but I can do some experimentation on B option. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
skliff13 Posted November 25, 2017 Posted November 25, 2017 Nah, the idea with "OBJECT DAMAGED" trigger didn't work because such triggers react even to .50-cals. A solution however could be to reduce the initial amount of tanks' HP by either creating a Mod, or executing some LUA-script, or simply "exploding" tanks via triggers as the mission starts. Explosion with strength of 3 leaves Pz.IV's with half HP accoring to my tests. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Object damaged trigger, or destroy on X hit point script won't be good, as it will not count a kill for attacker. Will try to improve this today VIRPIL Controls Servers

Reflected Posted November 28, 2017 Posted November 28, 2017 Removed flare guns from JG27 Bf109s Thank you! :) I noticed that although I have a ping of around 70 and most players don't exceed 100, I still see a lot of lagging and warping which makes deflection shooting very, very difficult. I don't think this is a Burning Skies specific issue - what about the other players? Do you also have this problem? Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord

I don't think this is a Burning Skies specific issue - what about the other players? Do you also have this problem? I noticed warping yesterday. But in fact I didn't change anything, so it could be temporary internet issue or something like that (which is likely, as i had internet issues at home too). Or maybe DCS server should be restarted from time to time. Server had been online for almost 5 days by yesterday. Edited November 28, 2017 by eekz VIRPIL Controls Servers

Fangio Posted November 28, 2017 Posted November 28, 2017 Is there a link or such to instructions for how to get radio functions working on the server? Does it use Simple Radio? I am new to online play (have not flown online.... yet) and am trying to figure out how to communicate via radio while flying online. Any help is greatly appreciated. I have downloaded Teamspeak but have no good idea how to properly set it up.

CripesAMighty Posted December 7, 2017 Posted December 7, 2017 Eekz, you need to increase the distance between airfields please. Its a bit of a joke how close they are now. Have you considered having the Allies operating out of southern England and the Luftwaffe from Normandy?
Schnarre Aggro Posted December 8, 2017 Posted December 8, 2017 yeah we(DCS ww2 pilots) considered that all since long time ago ... then the server will be empty ... no one finds each other and then people get shot down without seeing the enemy after a 20min flight - disconnect - server empty... we(DCS ww2 pilots) have been there even back on 1.5 ... believe me .. the closer the better for a populated server with "dogfight"training character ... if u want some more real distances its more the blueflag thing .. they have airfields on england from which u can take off from ... BUT you have to consider that u will fly there probably alone ... people seek action in Multiplayer and until there arent organized events with realmission backgrounds, it will be like on burning skies.

PorcoRosso86 Posted December 8, 2017 Posted December 8, 2017 Is a long story: somebody prefer long distance, like old SoW sorties, others less distance. But as always the truth is in the middle. But I sure that player hemorrhage problem schould be solve only by the developer, like new DM, new planes and others. Eekz cant'do a miracle. Maybe him schould be adding some nearby airfield and some far, to satisfy all tastes. But until some SH will not add some bombers, pilots will remains few then other ww2 sim.

IMO there is no point in huge distance between red and blue airfields. At least until there is not so much in between them (interesting missions, ground targets to seek-and-destroy, trains, convoys, etc.) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
