Open Conflict - Server Information

[Mirknir]

Thought I would share this epic story from tonight's session with you all, sorry for the long essay of a post below!

...................

TLDR, the new Tuapse objective is awesome, the perfect level of difficulty to encourage teamwork :thumbup:

 

Nice, I am glad you guys had fun.

I didn't ship the map with those ships activated cause I thought it would be too hard but I like to be proven wrong :thumbup:

Hello!

How to pick up the pilot to land on the Mi-8?

I flew, saw green smoke, landed next to the pilot,

and the pilot in the cockpit is not ... What should I do?

Sorry for my english, I'm from Russia, explain the sequence

Action menu at the Rescue pilot.

 

 

To load the downed pilot use: Right Alt + \ then F10, F9, F4

You have to use a command to pick him up.

 

Either using the radio menu:

F10 Menu ▶ Rescue ▶ Pick-up downed pilot

Or using the chat command:

Type '-re load'

 

Thank you, all understand, everything worked out.

 

But with cargo can not understand anything ...

Type '-tr help' in chat to get all the information

Same for rescue '-re help'

Don't forget that in the next sortie you would be guided onto final at Krasnodar Center by Darksword the skilled (:lol:) ATC

Does anyone know if the server is set up to remove the need to align the INS (and drift) for the Mirage?

[Mirknir]

Does anyone know if the server is set up to remove the need to align the INS (and drift) for the Mirage?

 

It is not, I am not sure if servers have that kind of subtle options.

 

Here are the options enforced by server:

 

["fuel"] = false, -- Infinite Fuel

["labels"] = false, -- Labels

["birds"] = 0, -- Birds

["optionsView"] = "optview_onlyallies", -- F10 View Options

["permitCrash"] = true, -- "Crash recovery will allow you to respawn if your aircraft is destroyed or you eject during the mission"

["immortal"] = false, -- Immortal

["cockpitVisualRM"] = false, -- Not sure if this feature still works in 1.5 and in multiplayer

["easyFlight"] = false, -- Ace Combat Mode!? "Easy flight makes the aircraft much easier to fly when enabled and more analogous to an arcade game."

["map"] = true, -- F10 Map available

["externalViews"] = true, -- External Views available

["spectatorExternalViews"] = true, -- External Views available for spectators

["impostors"] = "small", -- Model Enlargement Settings: medium, large, small, off

["reports"] = false, -- Allied Flight Report for more AI spam

["weapons"] = false, -- Unlimited Weapons

["geffect"] = "realistic", -- G-effets

["civTraffic"] = "",

["headmove"] = true, -- Head Movement by G-Forces in cockpit (Not sure if it needs to be set for server)

["f5_nearest_ac"] = false, -- F5 cheat view

["f11_free_camera"] = true, -- Could be useful

["F2_view_effects"] = 1, -- Not sure about this: Floating, shaking, or none

["f10_awacs"] = true, -- What is that? Awacs appears in F10?

Had troubles spawning the Huey on the aircraft carrier spot last night. The ship kept bumping up and down and flipped the helicopter before I had a chance to take off. Guess it's a DCS problem and can't be remedied in server mission?

 

Anyway, I appreciate your work on the server Mirknir! The Skynet commands makes navigation possible despite F10 map and keeboard not being functional in VR, love it.

Question, do rescue tasks affect the battlefield in any way? I like flying around and having things to do as a slick heli anyway but interested to know.

I noticed with the dynamic weather causing stronger wind and waves that even the static carriers bobbed and caused aircraft bouncing, I'm pretty sure it can't be fixed unfortunately.

Yea there can already be some priblem spawning on non moving ships when it combines with lag and loading your aircrafts but it's a dcs problem and I think the fun of having ships is greater than the problems.

 

In the next version, the moving ships might be the opposite where you spawn die all the time and the ships teleports around making them more a problem than fun.

I am curious if they worked on it since last time I did this experiment (that went wrong)

If they didn't, I ll just keep the ships like there are, immobile.

 

For VR, most commands are available in radio menu too. It might help.

 

Rescuing and delivering increases the morale of AI, a silent concept that decrease the respawn time of your AI CAPs.

You can see it in the -aa command.

You basically offer better AI CAP protection over your territory.

It's a small effect but noticeable, like from 20min to 10min maximum iirc.

 

I will watch the video when I am home :)

The bouncing ship issue is because they pitch in the waves but the pitching is only updated once per second or so. So you end up with the deck teleporting 6 inches at a time, the Huey can usually withstand it but the black shark gets its gear shredded in no time.

[acdelta57]

That moment when you update DCS before Mirnkir says too and now you cant find server in MP list...:doh:

Server is updated to supposedly last version (DCS/1.5.4.56500) and I see people connecting to it...

Ok so I connected today and tested both moving and non moving ships.

 

First, the moving ships are not teleporting around like crazy like before. So that's a good thing ; let's see what happens after some reset tho. :)

 

Then, I saw what you meant and I can tell you it's new to the server and I noticed it on moving and non moving ships. :mad:

This buggy slow shaky bouncing was definitely not there the last times I've played on the server so either ED broke something in the patches since or the ships don't like the newly added dynamic weather.

 

I will make an update with silky smooth weather and we'll see if the dynamic weather is the problem. :(

[acdelta57]

Well I love the L39 spawns at Gelenz! Was going to do some more flying but now power is out :( also I made the report of the L39 not tuned into awacs anymore? Did this get borked in an update? Perhaps I was out of range tho I know you did say you moved the awacs flight path.

Like the new season ! No more dynamic weather is coming in update tho?:cry:

I may have forgotten the channel for the new l39....

 

I want to test if dynamic weather is making ships crazy so I need to test without it for a while then re-asset

[acdelta57]

Ah i see in regards to making ships not be crazy. Well for all I care test away as I have no power today lol just as I was about to release some firepower on BTR.

 

Also for those that love top gun, and for those who say crosswind is unrealistic check out the crab angle right after lift off in this awesome HD video. I do not know the strength of the wind but as for the L39 in DCS this looks almost identical to taking off in OC during dynamic weather!

[bertOC]

Love the changes to Gelendzhik, thank you so much! Though it was difficult taking off with 20kts crosswind I really liked the dynamic weather. Its just the runways pointing in the wrong direction :lol:

 

EDIT: Seems like I wasnt extremely shitty at getting the Dora up and down in one piece, just the wind :D

Warbird party was freakin awesome tonight, hope to see more people joining an OC furball :pilotfly:

 

 

Dust on my 6 is no good.

[acdelta57]

Some more cool shots from today! Also i could spawn huey on ships with no problems today, not sure if that was something being tested or not but they worked as of a few mins ago. And then the last one basically sums up my first day in the P51

[Mirknir]

In Map: Open Conflict Tuapse - v3.0.6

 

• Fix L39 without the awacs channel
  
• Fleet (more) Bug Fix Testing
  
  • Remove dynamic weather to get full control over winds
    
  • No sea level wind to remove ship bouncing
    
  • Let's see if immobile ships still have the annoying jerky bouncing
    
  • PUSH moving ships speed TO THE LIMIT!!! (40km/h - 22knots) to test if they will bugged.

I feel like you are hidding part of the story where you killed me, your copilot, twice and we had to have a ceremony in celebration of my blind trust :music_whistling:

 

Apart from that, the speeding and immobile ships seems to fare pretty well without ground wind. :thumbup::thumbup:

Now I need to test moderate ground winds! The adventure continues!!!!!!

Hello Mirknir,

 

thank you for all the cool updates, I am having a lot of fun on this server !

 

may i please ask you to add one spawn slot for the C-101EB since the CC version is not out yet.

 

Thank you :thumbup:
