Yep, we had a good time at Kutasi! Well, I got your scraps. :joystick:

Hello again all. There is now a Teamspeak server dedicated to the Open Conflict Server for all to use. The server has 25 slots which should be plenty for now. Server should remain open 24/7 for all to use. Rules are the Open Conflict Server's rules. Please let me know about any abuse or rule breaking. Have fun everyone! Address is below.

Mirknir, maybe you can work this into the briefing so everyone knows about it. :joystick:

 

That's great. Suggest putting in first post in this thread as well!

Cool stuff dude!

 

I will add it to the briefing even if no one ever reads it :lol:

 

I also plan to redo the first post of this thread once I've upgraded the server to the new script

Nice!

 

Thanks for the feedback!

 

I have more in store for you guys, just upgrading the script framework for now.

Joined the TS today. No one on, but it's new so hopefully people start to utilize it.

 

Also - could not join Blue or Red rooms -> channel maxclient reached (even though I was the only one on the server).

I got on the TS server before work to check into this. I have not used TS in forever so it took a bit to figure out what needed fixing, but it should be up and working now. I also added 3 sub channels to each side for those that would like to group off with their friends or wingmen.

 

If anyone has any ideas on how to improve the TS experience in the server, please let me know and I will look into it. For the time being I think this will be a good starting point and I can make any necessary changes as the server matures. As always, have fun all!

thanks for setting this up. Can't wait to start coordinating in a way that only voice can enable. I hope the regulars I see on the server migrate over. I would like to learn from them during operations and training in the protected zone. I need lots of help with CAP in the SU-27 and the F-15.

Gotta say I really love this server. Doesn't matter if I want to fly a fighter, ground attacker, or a heli there's always something good to do. I definitely spend most of time here, only time I don't get in this server is if it's already full.

 

I was just thinking it would be neat to have a teamspeak for the server, now I need to get a mic or something so I can use teamspeak lol.

This is the exact same situation I was in, and I love the server. So, I figured I would take matters into my own hands. With Mirknir's approval of course. It's his server. :) And I hate trying to type and fly in civilian sims, much less adding in a trimmer, weapon system, etc.

I just love this server too, but I have to big wishes...

 

1. Make TS mandatory

2. More slots, as its often occupied 20/20

[lonememe]

I was just perusing the forums and saw this post about my favorite multi-player server! Seriously, this has been an incredible server to learn on. I'm still a newb, but I've had some great times on the server and I have learned a lot from vets there.

 

Is there a donation spot anywhere? I'm currently building up my Oculus rig, saving to replace my broken Logitech Extreme 3D stick with a proper HOTAS, and the only extra module I have for DCS is FC3, but I still want to donate something to this server because that's how valuable I think it is!

Thanks for the feedback.

As I work hard to rewrite the script framework and can't play as much as before, I love to hear good things :)

 

This is a donation thingy, it's in my signature or

Not going to happen.

Even without considering that, sometimes, teamspeak can be toxic, not everyone has a mic or wants to be on voice over IP.

 

I hope people venturing in the conflict zone will want to be on a teamspeak to survive better, without this being mandatory.

 

2. More slots, as its often occupied 20/20

 

I am working on it, redoing the script framework might help with performance and maybe more slots will be opened.

But, also, as some point, it's a problem of money and I hope that I might update the server connection and hardware down the line.

Just wanted to say I still love this server like on the first day. I really like that F5 got disabled, makes defending against fighters even more awesome! :D

Yes, i'm happy too that F5 got disabled. Now i can sneaking up on targets with my Su-27 and can be sure that i don't get spottet by an F5 user.

But also i have to watch out more when landing. Last time on my landing approach i didn't see a Mirage in front of me, wich was landing too. I seen him behind me on runway after the landing. But was shocked when i watched the track in tacview. I flew just over his jet few meters away, and landed in front of him.

Guess he was shocked too as this happened

[Cruiser18]

Might I suggest some more diversity in the enemy fighters?

 

I have an affinity with flying the Mig-21 and Mirage and while I understand the inherent problem with them being underpowered, it does get a bit bothersome to try and take on AI F-15's with their omnipotent radars and aim-120's all the time. Especially when I get jumped by 3 of them at the same time. XD

 

Maybe have some Mirages or Mig-21's on the prowl as well? Just so I don't feel completely useless unless I'm rocking a FC3 plane.

Everyone spread the word on the Teamspeak Server please. Everytime I check in on it, its almost always empty. But it will probably get used more when the info get put into the briefing and server info.

This would also be a nice feature to have. Maybe an area that is restricted to non FC3 aircraft. Or at least the fighter variants.

So when you guys say F5 getting disabled, what does that mean?

[lonememe]

Also, regarding TS; Are you guys using a hotkey or just leaving the mic on? I had to think hard about what hot-key to program that wouldn't interfere with a game key (almost impossible for DCS). I programmed the "Pause" key, but it won't work when I'm in game.

 

Also, something I thought about with TS; what is to say that someone on the red team couldn't simply join the blue team's TS groups? I don't think there's anything in game that talks to TS to tell it not to let you in the opposing team's rooms, is there?

 

I *really* want to be able to not worry about reading the chat messages and just using voice comm's. I've gotten nailed before for trying to pay attention to chat, and if you're blue it's super hard to read against some of the terrain. Don't get me wrong, I love talking to you all and it does make me laugh to read some of the stuff, but it's hard to figure out when to pay attention to critical info and when it's just us goofing around in chat.

Right now, the modern cap rotates between f15 and su27 and I might add more planes in the rotation.

 

Also, Blue side has WWII and f86 cap to train on.

 

I am also limited by the number of ai caps I can put in the map, in number for lag and in diversity for vram.

 

But it's in my plan to add more diversity in the map and the new script framework i am working on will allow me to add more type of planes in the rotation

 

Also, ai comes in groups of 2. You can't be jump by 3. And don't hesitate to ask for a wingman!

Glad to hear it. Got so much whine about F5 being disabled, I had to buy some cheese

[Cruiser18]

Btw, has the tooltips been disabled on the server or something? I can't seem to get any labels when I mouse over the different controls in the cockpit.

yes, they are off.

 

So when you guys say F5 getting disabled, what does that mean?

 

If F5 is on, then you can press F5 to get the view from your plane to the nearest plane, no matter if its friendly or enemy.

In other words, you can spot an enemy plane wich you don't see visualy if you press F5
