fitness88 Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Since 1.52 when I go into MP I can't find a host where the missions allow Mig-29s. All I see is unengaged, what does that mean? Also does 1.52 Beta and 1.52 release both have the same multiplayers? Thank you.
Jester Darrak Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Unengaged means "Slot not taken. Go ahead and grab it!". You actually need to join the server to find out if it's working or not. ;-)

Actually I'm just looking down from a camera view like F11. Is this because Mig-29s is not available in that particular mission? Edited January 27, 2016 by fitness88
Timka01 Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Guys I searched alot about the DCS Mig29 and Su-33 to download it but unfortunately found nothing about it!! Where I can find it? I have LFC3 CD and DCS2 and 1.5. Thanks in advance
Jester Darrak Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 @fitness88 Give it some time. When I join a server it sometimes takes up to a minute to show the aircraft selection screen. First you see is the F11 view followed by the F10 map. Once it's done loading you're in the aircraft selectiom screen. Chose your aircraft, then click briefing and finally cluck fly. @Timka01 Su-33 and MiG-29 are part of Flaming Cliffs 3. Go into your download manager once DCS started and install FC3. You can then join a server and select FC3 aircraft. Or try quick missions, select FC3 and then your desired aircraft.

I have no trouble entering the multiplayer room and seeing all the servers up and running. After choosing a server, most, not all of the time, once the mission loads I'm a spectator overlooking the airfield as opposed to being in a plane [i wait over 5 minutes]. Occasionally, I'll actually be in the mission inside my plane. So what is the scenario that once the mission loads I'm a spectator overlooking the airfield as opposed to being in a plane?
0xDEADBEEF Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 you have to select a slot before you get taken into a plane. If you wait for 5 minutes and nothing happens, esc should bring you there. but if loading is not finished after 5 minutes i'd guess your pc is not fast enough to run DCS. Since you got 1000 posts in this forum, i doubt this applies...

Since you got 1000 posts in this forum, i doubt this applies... I fly 1.52 beta. Exactly where and when do you have the option to choose a slot for your aircraft? When I see the list of all the servers, I then choose [example: 51st server] and click join. What I would then expect to see is a new window where I could choose a plane then click the briefing button which would then load the mission with me on the runway in the plane of my choice. This is where I end up: Edit: When I fly 1.52 release version I have no problem connecting from the server list window to the briefing room window where I am able to select my plane and successfully enter the mission. I now realize that 1.52 beta cannot connect to the briefing room from the servers, must be version incompatibility. Edited January 29, 2016 by fitness88
fitness88 Posted January 29, 2016 Author Posted January 29, 2016 OK I figured out what the issue of no briefing window showing up...one of my mods is not allowing connection. I will go into JSGME and one by one eliminate the mods to figure out which one it is. I thought if I was using a mod not accepted or compatible with DCS when in multiplayer that I would receive a window saying that there is a compatibility issue, which would save a lot of time trying to figure out what was going on...but I did not.
Jester Darrak Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Ok, that migjt explain something. You should know most people here are assuming you're running DCS vanilla. If not you should mention it the next time. Or better: if there ever is a problem again FIRST try to run DCS clean without any mods/JSGME. Mods are making trouble, no matter how well maintained/patched they are. ;-)
