Open Conflict - Server Information

[Mirknir]

cool so when can you add it?

 

I got a lot of nice or angry or impatient requests about the Gazelle so I also wanted to clarify some stuff:

The release of a new aircraft can be in several steps like was the Mirage2000 or the Gazelle.

 

Even if the Gazelle was released several weeks ago as early access, it doesn't mean that the aircraft can be put on a server, especially by people that didn't buy it yet.

As I never buy early access anything, I have to wait for ED to release the standard support of the new aircraft to the main version and if possible, the steam version too.

 

The Gazelle support was added today in DCS main version, in this patch (that is still not on steam btw)

 

I will do my best to have some Gazelle on the server today. :thumbup:

Charlie: Well, if you were directly above him, how could you see him?

Maverick: Because I was inverted.

Iceman: [coughs whilst saying] Bullshit.

Goose: No, he was man. It was a really great move. He was inverted.

Charlie: You were in a 4g inverted dive with a MiG28?

Maverick: Yes, ma'am.

Charlie: At what range?

Maverick: Um, about two meters.

Charlie: Ok but what was your ping?

Maverick: Um, about 280, server was in Europe, ma'am.

Charlie: Yea must have been lag, checking on tacview...

Goose: I may have alt-tabbed during the manoeuvre to check my facebook....

Maverick: Oh come on man!

Charlie: Yep, tacview shows a crazy lag spike...

Maverick: Next ejection, you gonna pay!

 

 

Sorry...

Still spawning red L-39s in the heliport at Lochini heh? I should get extra points for successfully taxiing out of that labyrinth.

[FraserNZL]

Hey Mirknir I have a bit of an idea, how about for those that have combined arms could you maybe add access and some manpads to the defended areas on your mission. They aren't overly powerful yet a challenge to find or at least make the units that are defending controllable. Also put in the briefing that CA user's have to be in TS3. I also thought about people that go retarded and go be Dicks at airfields maybe you could have some sort of protection zone around airfields. Maybe a firing range as well or a town to attack way in the middle of nowhere. Just something I was thinking at work today because us CA users get left out a bit sometimes. What say you old chum?

As Mirknir already said, he is testing the implementation already. There are some difficulties tracking user controlled vehicles.

big thanks again to Janissary for recording a video of the datalink bug on Su-33 with me (Su-27 not tested yet).

I uploaded the video and reported that bug on russian forums. Hope they fix it till next update.

[doodenkoff]

This is a great server. It's so much more fun than SP. Even if you don't have a buddy on with you at the same time. Just seeing other players around airports makes it much more immersive. Funny...I've seen several take off, but have yet to see another player actually land.

 

The first time I tried to sneak into the conflict zone, I got about 10km in before an AIM120 got me. The last time, I actually got the L-39 in to the target, launched some munitions, and got back out. It was a lotta' fun.

[CEPEGA]

Indeed. Had lot of fun today flying in group with Janissary on Su-33. We got airborne, burned some fuel, refueled both at same time in air on one tanker, then head on to conflict zone and had 2 pvp kills and one ai CAP kill with no losses. Unfortunetly he was shot down by a blue Tor as we gone rtb.

Upgraded Rescue System

 

In Masterscript: Skynet - v2.3.6

 

Upgraded Rescue System

 

The goal here is to add actual wrecked pilot in Skynet and integrate it smoothly in the current systems I have.

Here is the first version...

 

When a player pilot ejects, 2 things can now happen:

 

• Either the pilot will rejoin a safe-house like the current system
  
• Either the pilot will create a wrecked pilot around where the ejection took place
  

 

In order to avoid impossible objectives or crowding the map too much, Skynet will still apply some restrictions to this new system.

 

Each coalition has a finite number of wrecked pilots that can be active concurrently (for now 10)

The condition to create a wreck are multiple, here are a few:

 

• Be over land
  
• Be in the conflict zone, but not too deep
  
• Be outside FOBs area
  
• Having a free 'wrecked pilot' slot
  

 

Once created, a wrecked pilot will be spawned on the ground and

 

• Will create an wrecked pilot objective in the objective system
  
  • [radio menu or '-re' in chat]
    

   

  [*]Will emit a radio beacon

  [*]Will have a detailed report with freqs, direction and lat-lon infos

  [*]Will appear on F10 map

  [*]Will despawn after the battery runs out

  • For now, the battery will last 1 hours
    

   

  [*]Will respond to smoke request in a certain range

  • For now 1.5 km range
    
  • Smoke will last for 5min
    
  • [radio menu or '-re smoke' in chat]
    

   

  [*]Can be killed so be careful with smoke requests

  [*]Can be picked-up in a certain range like safe house pilot

  • For now 200m
    
  • [radio menu or '-re load' in chat]
    

   

  [*]Will be added in your aircraft as 'downed pilot' like safe house pilot

  [*]Can be rescued at rescue drop-off points like safe house pilot

 

 

It's a big system that I can only partially test as I suck at helicopters so don't hesitate to report bugs with the -report command :thumbup:

[acdelta57]

That is so exciting, Ill be testing it daily lol well till Thursday at least then I will be off for a few days again. 1 Suggestion the 1.5km for smoke as of now almost seems a little too short of range I think, maybe 2.0 for smoke range. I was messing with it today and I felt by the time I tracked the beacon down I pretty much was on top of my LZ before the smoke came into play. Also moving at 120kts it takes a little while to slow and setup the approach, if the smoke is popped sooner like 2.0-2.5km it would help with planning the combat style approach for helicopters. Just a suggestion tho, everything else sounds fantastic!

[Mirknir]

In Masterscript: Skynet - v2.3.7

 

• Rescue smoke request range is now 3000m
  
• Some aircraft will now auto request rescue smoke when nearing a wrecked pilot (@ 80% request range)
  
  • UH1, MI8, Gazelle and every dev slot I have
    

  [*]One ejection will now only create one wrecked pilot even if the aircraft have AI copilots

Watch datalink display, the F-15 had ecm always on!

This happens everytime you press "unlock target" button and the jamming plane is tracked by your AWACS. Without AWACS it don't work. Tested only on Su-33, but i guess datalink on Su-27 will behave the same

In Masterscript: Skynet v2.3.8

 

 

• Fixed: Radio beacon not being released on mission reset
  
  • The rescue system would run out of free frequencies
    

   

  [*]Fixed: Rescue wreck objective not being properly released on mission reset

  • The rescue system would then create wrecks in the previous session objectives instead of the current session ones
    

   

  [*]Fixed: Some safehouse not displaying directions

 

In Map: Open Conflict Khashuri - v5.8.8

 

 

• Tweaked: Rescue morse code sound to be less violent (added a fade in)
  

 

• Added: Awacs freqs in the briefing
  
• Added: Red air tankers freqs in the briefing
  
• Updated: All air tankers freqs to be in the 130-140Mhz VHS range
  

 

• Fixed: Mirage2000 not having radio channels
  
  • Mission editor was removing them cause I don't own the Mirage
    
  • I did the same 'hack' as for the Mig21 to make the ME believe I own the Mirage
    
  • VHS channel 1 should be 124Mhz (Awacs)
    
  • VHS channel 2 should be 135Mhz (IL78M)
    
  • I can't test it properly as I don't own the plane, tell me if it's better
    

   

 

• Added: Medic UH1 @ Zestafoni and Gori FARPs
  
  • No external hard-point, no IR exhaust
