"Buddy Spike" - DCS World Online Events

[Teknetinium]

Great Work!!!

[Stuge]

I haven't asked my team mates about this yet, but I would certainly like to fly in this today. Do I need to register or is 104th registered automatically?

[104th_Maverick]

We should be signed up for this with the 51st Stuge.

 

We'll send some guys tonight, as many as we can! But we plan to do Fighter Control on our server during the test (arranged before this announcement) so some of us won't be able to make it!

[gregzagk]

Hello guys.

Thanks Teknetinium, Stuge & Maverick.

 

We try to get everything scheduled as best as we can so it won't interfere with other DCS World events.

Hopefully everyone can enjoy both worlds :)

 

104th & 51st are assigned to their airbases (Kutaisi & Krymsk) so you can fly from there if you will join.Check for more below.

 

Squadrons-Airbases assigned:

*Squadrons have been assigned to airbases according to prefered aircrafts etc. Of course there is the option to contact us in order to change your dedicated airbases or side for the next tests & for the official start of the campaign. We hope you will like your new homes!

Campaign Features:

 

-24/7 Server

The Server will be available on a 24/7 basis. Registered Squadrons & Lonewolfs will be able to join. If not registered already you can through the Eagle Dynamics forums (Buddy Spike thread on the Multiplayer section).

 

-Dedicated Airbases / Slots for squadrons

Registered Squadrons are assigned to specific airbases. Their pilots will be able to use their squadrons aircraft slots if they have their tag assigned on their callsign (e.g. 373vFS_Greg or IAF_Xcom).

 

-Lonewolfs Dedicated Airbases

Lonewolfs have their own dedicated airbases to operate from.You can check them on the Briefing's map.

 

-Airbase/FARP Capturing System

Both sides will be able to capture Airbases & FARPs & then operate from them. To capture an Airbase or FARP a side must destroy all the enemy ground units guarding and then land troops near it transported by UH-1H's or Mi-8's.

 

-Transport Troops

Mi-8's & UH-1H's are able to transport troops to the front. To load troops to your chopper just take off and head to the load zone near your FARP/Airbase. The load zone is marked with GREEN smoke. Once landed on it you can load troops through the F-10 Radio Menu.

 

-Unload Troops

Choppers can unload troops through the F-10 Radio menu. (You must load them first from the loadzones marked with GREEN smoke)

 

-Captured Airbases slots / Slot Managment System

Each time a side captures an airbase, they can operate from it with a specific number of aircraft.

Each airbase offers a specific type of aircraft available after capturing. Capturing Airbases & FARPs will increase the number of available airframes and reduce the enemy's numbers.

 

-Cities Capturing System

A number of key Cities will be marked in the Campaign Map as high value targets. Both sides will have to capture and hold them as this will be a part of the victory conditions. To capture a City a side has to land troops near it transported by UH-1H's or Mi-8's.

 

-Coordinates of FARPS/Cities position

Coordinates of the FARPS & Cities position are available below, at the end of the briefing.

 

-Repair System

Each time a friendly or enemy asset is destroyed, it will start repairing after an amount of time. In order to stop an enemy asset from repairing it will have to be captured.

 

-Radar Intercept Fighters

EWR's will scan the areas near the airbases. Each time there is a threat, AI Fighters will scrable to engage it.

 

-Real time Situtation Messages

During the missions the pilots will be informed about the situation of the Airbases, FARPs & Cities.

 

-Waypoints : Bullseye – Sochi

Both sides have an initial waypoint to Sochi. Depending to the DCS Module you may have the ability to add manually waypoints. Otherwise you will be able to navigate by calculating distances from the F10 Map and your initialy waypoint (Sochi).

-Mission Save Function

As in our previous Campaigns the mission status will be saved real time. If the Server crashes for any reason, it will restart with the airbases, cities, FARPs and ground units status, as was just before the crash.

Starting date: To be announced.

Stay tuned!

 

-Real time web based map & gadget

373vFS_Crash created a real time web based map in which you can check the status of the Airbases, FARPs & Cities. Also you can check about announcemts & online pilots on the server.

THX Gregzagk!!!

Thanks all for joining tonight to our stress test.

We saw that everything works, there are some stuff to optimize and patch up, but the most important thing is that the 24/7 mission runs with capturing and the website is updating according to the campaign progress - http://opblueflag-buddyspike.rhcloud.com/

[carrollhead]

Had a lot of fun thankyou - some of our guys were having some connection problems, which we think was probably to do with integrity checking. They're reinstalling to see if they can connect ;)

 

Quick shot of me and Ian (FSFIan on these forums) landing after finally hitting Beslan.

[xcom]

nice work guys!

Currently it looks like the red side has done some work after I left, they captured Sochi Gudauta and Bzyb City -

[Falcon_S]

A well-designed concept and finally our flights (especially A2A) have meaning. Good job.

Thanks to all for joining! It helped a lot to spot some issues and optimise the performance.

See you in the next one and of course in the official start.
