could it be possible to stablish the presets in Fishbed to get AWACS?

 

 

I'll get this sorted this weekend

Choppy picture after latest update. The same when moving look with trackir and moving aircraft on the ground and in the air. Does anyone have it?

Same here. Also finding the damage model is behaving strangely as Fallen mentioned here. Ate a Sidewinder I had no business surviving today (but did) and watched multiple hits on various jets while their air-frame stayed intact. Rather odd!

Are 120C, B, and ET supposed to be enabled on Bison?

Now they aren't, it's corrected now.

Yeah, figured (as it was said for late november).

 

No worries man, after all... it is a free event made by you guys for everyone to enjoy, so, when ever it happens :thumbup:

 

Time to enjoy the holidays ! If missions can get converted to 2.5 with no issues it might even be on that

 

Hopefully, enough people subscribe to your YT channel Mav, and you don't have to work anymore :music_whistling:

Lol, that would be nice!

 

I started a new job recently that has been taking up all my time however that finishes next week so I'll hopefully have a lot more time to get events organised and do more on the DCS front.

 

 

could it be possible to stablish the presets in Fishbed to get AWACS?

 

 

This has been done now for the missions we are currently rotating.

"Added Polish skins for MiG-29 and F-16C."

"F-16 and MiG-29 added to Poland."

 

Can you add polish MiG-29A to bluefor?

Thank you in advance.

Heya, when I flew in the last months, it was mostly freeflight stuff. With the release of the Harrier I spent a lot time again on the server and had great fun. Awesome to see the 104th always active and to have a very familiar server even after years to just hop in and basically feel at home.

 

One thing that is a recurring theme in objective based A2G servers is the endless search for 'the last tank hiding in a tree/river/destroyed unit or just plain sight'. This has been a great show stopper time and time again even with a lot of experienced players working as a team.

 

I consider this just one of the issues with DCS in general. But flying on some other servers, which pamper you with laser spotting CTLD JTAC units, I find myself question my time used everytime we circle for 30m over the same spot without seeing one tracer round. I have do admit when not flying the A-10C it is hard to go back without those sweet Harrier assisting humvees and drones! :)

 

But I realize for the 104th mission style, a JTAC unit that marks from mission start to end would be bad for game&teamplay. But maybe if there is only a certain amount of units left or if enough time has passed for a TA, a JTAC unit may activate.

 

From previous discussions I know for stabillity sake the 104th servers try to not use many scripts/triggers etc. that have the potential to cause trouble. With this in mind maybe there could be the alternative to incorporate some transport choppers closer to the TA's giving incentives to go build a JTAC units by players. The problem I see with that idea is that once that is done, there is nothing for the pilot to do and it's a long way anywhere. :)

 

Just some thoughts, I demand and expect nothing, server works for years without my ideas. =)

We hear ya! We recently edited all the missions so none of the ground units would drive off if another unit nearby was attacked to try and stop tanks hiding in trees and buildings etc. This does make a big difference but I understand is not a bullet proof situation.

Yeah I know this can be frustrating, over the New Year we will take a look at implementing JTAC again and see if it is feasible.

One of the issues we have is that the JTAC needs to be placed somewhere he can see ALL the targets, this is not so straight forward in our missions and some of the TAs are a substantial size, however like I said we will take a look at it and see if there is anything we can do.

Most of us are all in love with the Harrier too so it be nice to get to use this on home turf.

This is a good idea but Im not sure how we would go implementing it, its something we'll take a closer look at as I mentioned.

 

In the meantime try checking out our new Deepstrike Targets, they are mainly aimed at the Harrier but any ground attack aircraft can take part, the mission details are in the briefing under the A2G section.

We've been having great fun with them, taking off from the boat or a land base and flying 100+nm low level to terrain mask on the way in, killing a small number of targets (fuel is an issue) then heading for home or the tanker... its been great!

 

Thanks for your input mate!

 

 

 

Moving Ships

 

On another note, we have changed all our in mission ships (Blue side only for now) to be moving through the sea rather than static.

 

The carrier groups will now be moving in our missions between 11 and 20 knots.

 

Please let us know if you spot any problems with them, eg. you see the boat at one position and your wingman see's it at another!

Hi guys I'm looking to buy a helicopter module and I wonder out of the Gazelle, Huey and MI8 would be good for the server?

 

I don't know how good the helicopters are vs tanks and anti air missiles.

 

Thanks.

All of those are great but if you want an attack helo with real striking power consider the Ka-50, although the Gazelle is also a worthwhile contender especially since it can carry air-to-air missiles.

I have the A10c and wanted something bit different and the Ka50 like a flying weapons platform lol.

 

It's good but I want to be less powerful if you know what I mean with the a10c.

Anyone else getting a strange microstutter or jitter on the 104th server? Its the only server that I get it on and I have no idea why. Its a stutter every 1/8th second or so. Getting 100fps and it still happens when I move my head with TrackIR. Ive tried Mustang's fix of disconnecting and back in and it does nothing.

 

Anyone have any ideas?

Ill give that a shot. Thanks for the heads up on the new method. Its just very strange that its only happening on your guys server.

It happens on all servers, also DCS 2.2.0 MP is equally affected.

I own all the choppers in DCS, still my favourite is the MI-8, love flying her

 

Anti tank = KA-50 if that what u want to do

AWACS fixed for the AV-8B Harrier on the 104th server, you can now talk to and receive reports from the E3!

 

The AWACS frequency is now 257.8, currently Channel 2 in the Harrier.

 

For more details on aircraft frequencies see the mission briefing

Server hasnt gotten the update yet?

[104th_Maverick]

No, we only updated to the OpenBETA last time around because we didn't want to miss out on the Harrier, we will be staying on the current release version until it is updated.

A little sad for the holidays :(....but I understand.

You miss a stutter free and smooth gameplay without last patch on open beta. Even better than the "workaround".

 

Merry Christmas all!
