"Buddy Spike" - DCS World Online Events

[gregzagk]

It's not your fault guys.

The server is down since morning. We are trying to get it up but it seems an issue on the datacenter.

 

We hope to get it up soon as we are on the final stage of testing.

Ah okay, that is kind of a relief, feared of tons of gigabytes to be downloaded again. :D

 

 

Good luck fixing the Problems ! :)

Relief for you, "the horror" for us :D

If I was fluent in LUA and DCS APIs i would offer help but atm I would be more of a hinderence i guess. :D

[Ciribob]

Just a small point to make about people quitting to stop kill messages...

 

On Blue Flag, when your pilot is killed, you're switched from an aircraft slot back to a spectator slot straight away so you can't fly again if you're out of lives.

 

When the switch happens, the body of the aircraft you're flying in will disappear, but parts that have been shot off won't. This is probably what you're seeing when you think someone has switched deliberately. You'll get the kill as well as far as I know as it should be awarded when the pilot is killed.

 

Hope that helps clear it up!

Sounds to me like its more issue with LUN than LUA :smilewink:

[Darkwolf]

People should care more about teamplay than their own statistics. Those are bugged anyway :D

[Nero.ger]

is it a bug that flying 'transport Choppers' now cost a life or is this intendet?

It counts your lifes lost but does not restrict them to a number.

meaning that i still can start in a UH/MI if i have no lives left? I have a hard time to deciver what you mean :)

Oh thats another another story... You meam die 4 times in an Airplane then jump to a choppa.

I wouldnt know...

You can die 3 times on any airplane then jump to the transport choppers no problem.

If you only flew the chopper you can fly 4 ever. :lol:

[Darkwolf]

Heli lifes should get accounted as well.

 

They is nothing legit in allowing fighter pilots to block heli slots because they have been shot down. Heli slots aren't much in numbers so it would be legit to keep them to chopper pilots. If a guy ruins his 4 lifes, he better train harder.

 

Not to mention the UH1 "AAA" exploit at objectives.

care to elaborate what you mean?

As of today heli lives are limited the same as other slot to 4. The only exception is gci which you should be able join with no lives at all.

 

Lives system has been rewritten internally as well. You can now check remaining lives by typing -lives in chat.

 

Gazelle added with ability to do recon the same as l39/Hawk but the difference is you don't have to RTB to transmit Intel.

 

On my phone so can't type a more detailed reply, apologies.

 

Again, its still testing so tweaks will still be made but we're close now. :)

i strongly urge you to reconsider the idea of Transport choppers costing lives:

-it takes ages to get anywhere, so we would look at 30min to target, and 30min back (in case of failed capture)

-you are much more prone to just crash on your mission (a stutter at 30ft alt is not funny)

-[this is guesswork] some people only fly them if they "must", so if they are at risk lossing valuable lives for thier "fun-planes" we will even have less chopper pilots but they are Vital to get stuff captured

-playnight "DCS blueflag" is over after dieing 4 times now instead of "oh well i died 4 times in my f15 i do some fuel runs or carry some troops for the reminder"

[M460]

You could add the case blue capture script altogether so your cowboys can have fun shooting each other.

I agree, it is the hardest job to fly a transport chopper, all the work and none of the glory. With the airfield refueling script in full effect, CSAR missing and now limited lives, you might aswell add that capture script and kick choppers to the curb.

[Badger1-1]

I cant rearm the Gazelle as red plus I lost 4 lives but didnt die once!

 

1 time bailed out( can count as dead)

2-3 respawns on helipad to test rearming...please fix it

I completely agree with this sentiment. I understand the reasoning for lives on the KA50 and now the Gazelle but Huey and the Hip seem a little unfair.

[roccoo]

Plus, people respawning on each other always happens and can take 4 lives in 30 seconds.

just happened to a bunch of us

[xcom]

Thanks, we will look into it

I agree in all counts too Nitch. Hips and Huey's take way to long to fly to use lives :helpsmilie::helpsmilie:

[Nero.ger]

BUG

 

took of from Sochi-Galenzik FARP >> -1 life

landed and did not get it back

took of again >> -1 life

 

checked both "landing Pads" but both have the same problem.

so, Zero lives in 30mins(i crashed ones, yes:)

oh, i was flying an uh-01 btw

Yesterday I landed a su-25 and a su-27, both times taxiing to parking, did not shut down 100% the engines because I saw the message that I got the life back, but it counted as death only on the players stats (did not lose a life). :wacko:
