Open Conflict - Server Information

[Vyrtuoz]

Nice and inspiring video Shinhwa! :thumbup:

 

I always have fun in the Huey, so cool to fly... And since Open Conflict is dynamic, missions are never the same and always full of surprises!

 

This is a short movie I made from footage shot on the OC server when I had an unexpectedly exciting time in a rescue Huey. I hope you enjoy:

 

 

Going to see if I can make something similar for a gunship Huey.

Oh I've posted it in the screenshot/video part of the forum, on Reddit, and Twitter.

 

Of course as soon as I posted it I found way better music to use. Also found some awesome background ATC clips that ... oh well.. I'm working on a Huey gunship video on Open Conflict... maybe I'll use them there.

 

Thanks for the positive reinforcement. You guys plus 1 guy on reddit are the first people who weren't my RL friends to even comment on it.

Nice video, I wish I could pilot the huey but I keep on dropping from the sky when I try to land :helpsmilie:

Nice vid shinhwa! If you would like a wingman in ur gunship video I would love to join help out! could be cool making passes together. However you really need to check out SKullz Genuine Huey sound mod, it is a MUST for huey pilots. You will never use the stock sounds again!

[Mirknir]

Soon™ in Masterscript: Skynet v3.2.0

 

Everything explained here

 

Database

[Mirknir]

Soon™ in Map: Open Conflict Khashuri - v6.3.0

Map Optimization

Removed some objects to increase map performance and refocus the objectives

Don't panic, more content will respawn to compensate

 

• Removed Nuke Zones / Bases that were consuming a lot of static objects while not being nuked that much
  
  • The locations will be used for the respawning incursion system
    

   

  [*]Removed Infiltrations

  • This will allow me to remove some northern SAMS that were especially added to protected this location
    

   

  [*]Removed EWR groups

  • Awacs should be enough
    

   

  [*]Removed Mountain outposts

  • These objective were too distant and almost never attacked
    
  • This will free some more static objects
    

   

Red Side Khashuri Base

 

• Moved south east to Vedreba to benefit from additional protection from hills
  
• This new location is very close to where Agara FARP was so...

Delivery Main objectives

 

• Red Bobnevi Drop-off objective (ex Agara FARP)

Very nice....if I wasn't still kinda' broke I'd help more. It seems like you put a tremendous amount of work and thought into this. Thanks.

[doodenkoff]

I would love to join up with 3-4 other Huey pilots and go wreak havoc on targets sometimes. I'm not the greatest helo pilot, but I'm enthusiastic. I did fly a delivery tonight and made two good landings. The arrival at the airport was sweet....I think I'm starting to get a feel for manipulating the collective.

[Shinhwa]

I just found that tonight! It is amazing! Will definitely use it for the next video. We'd need to maintain some separation, I'm not up for formation flying yet. But it would certainly make for some great footage.

[Shinhwa]

Nice video, I wish I could pilot the huey but I keep on dropping from the sky when I try to land :helpsmilie:

 

I just don't even want to think about how many hours I've put in the Huey. I fly at least a couple of hours a day and have had the Huey since June and its all I fly. With all that, you saw my landings in the video. Especially that first one was down right scary. I currently buy it about 30% of the time trying to land at that LM59 Field Hospital.

 

I've watched a ton of videos and sought advice on Reddit which has helped tremendously. Landings aren't usually pretty, but other than LM59 I'm up to a 90% success rate now.

[Shinhwa]

Transport/Delivery

 

• 'Drop All Cargo' command will now attempt to execute a 'Deliver Cargo' command first
  
• This will avoid confusion between the 2 commands resulting in cargo being lost
  

 

One thing I realized later is that when dropping of downed pilots the key is F5, but when delivering cargo the key is F6. Both those are the same, in my head, which is why I would occasionally press F5 on the cargo delivery. Since you've fixed it with this patch it probably doesn't need changing, just wanted to mention it.

Yea I am constantly trying to fix problems like that.

The only player input tools I have are chat command and radio menu and the only output tools are text popup, sounds (limited because of mission size) and chat combat log.

It's not that bad but I wish I had graphical user interface, keybindings, voice commands and such :music_whistling:

 

It's a lot of tries and errors to make Skynet interactive and accessible. :helpsmilie:

I am still not 100% happy with it, especially for VR.

Also I would like to voice everything but the mission would be too large :mad:

If I put the same effort in learning the huey that I put in learning how to dogfight, bvr and kill F15C, I would be able to land without entering vortex ring state.

I guess knowing the phenomena is the first step to avoid it :thumbup:

great Server Mirknir !

 

love the seetings with enemy map icons off, but own units still available in external view.

 

Thats how every server should be set up

 

sry if I missed it yesterday, but if I've seen it correctly there is still no possibilty to choose the Gazelle L version. Pls put it on the server as well...

[cosmicdoubloon]

here is still no possibilty to choose the Gazelle L version. Pls put it on the server as well...

 

Don't worry Jabo, I've been pestering Mirknir for the L variant since its release! In the changelog above he confirms its on its way this weekend hopefully :)

It's not yet released :cry:

 

The new mission version comes with a dawn thunderstorm so you will be able to see if the update is released :D

[doodenkoff]

So I load up two medical personnel and a crate of repair parts and depart Lochini for a medical base out west of town. Almost as soon as I entered the CZ, I get the "enemy fighter in vicinity" warning. I take the Huey down to treetop level (literally) and scoot along, hoping to be low and slow enough.

 

My head is on a swivel now and just as I'm about to turn my head forward I hear a "WHOOSH!" and turn to see a smoke trail just under the helo. I don't even know if it came from astern or forward. Seconds later, "oh, he's in front of me"; I know 'cause I can see the missile this time. I waited a second, then jinked to the left, leaving the missile to blow by the canopy by about a meter or so. Right on its tail was the enemy fighter, who blasted on past me.

 

This is a wide open plain with zero cover. No ravines, valleys, or gulleys. The best I could hope for was to turn and head back to the village I had just overflown, set down among some buildings, and wait for him to leave or get chased off. Sadly, I realized I was much too far from the town to make it in any decent time, so I decided to perform an "Air Cav" landing and hope the enemy pilot can't spot me in the ground clutter.

 

Came in too fast, flipped the Huey, and burned. Damn. I hate it when that happens.

 

So I load up two medical personnel and a crate of repair parts and depart Lochini for a medical base out west of town. About 15km from my objective, I spot green smoke about 1km to my north. Ah hah! I think, that's where that pilot down is located, I'll pick him up on the way back. I had to drop off the cargo first.

 

KABLAM! POW! BOOM!

 

A Gepard blows me out of the sky. Sneaky convoy. Now I know what brought down the plane flown by the stranded pilot.

 

So I load up two medical personnel and a crate of repair parts and depart Lochini for a medical base out west of town. This time, I'm taking an alternate route that puts me on the other side of a low range of hills from where I expect the convoy to be prowling. I get to the "notch" in the hills where I change my bearing a few degrees and smugly think, "I got this one.."

 

KABLAM! POW! BOOM!

 

Another Gepard. Crash and burn.

 

Scorecard:

 

AI -- 12 red personnel (four each flight, co-pilot, pilot, and two med personnel) and three crates of repair parts.

Me -- 0

 

Good job mirknir.....I prefer a challenge.

"-ag" is a helo pilot's best friend. That stupid convoy killed me so many times before I started using that command.
