dannyq8 Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 Excellent news, looking forward to giving this a blast. Thanks for your efforts, much appreciated :thumbup: Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something. Plato
smilodon Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 Yeah it's great for that but on a combat server? I'm not so sure eg. People use it to check their 6 yep , No view f2 please :no_sad: :thumbup: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Alpenwolf Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 Hey Lads, Just a few wee issues with the mission that im sure are easy fixes: External views still on F5 view (seems F2 has been fixed since yesterday) AWAKS freq not in briefing makes it a bit confusing for newbies to the server. Server Stability is still an issue Questions: Once we have control of Maykop should we be able to rearm and refuel? I seen there was F5 selectable there but couldn't get armed on the ground. Apart from that it's a blast! I'll look into it. Thanks for the feedback. HACA DYCA Discord Cold War 1947 - 1991 You can help me with keeping up the server via PayPal donations: hokumyounis@yahoo.com

Midnightzulu Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 Ok, so I've been on the server a couple of times now and it's an absolute blast. Big thanks to the guys at ACG for hosting this. As a newb, I fully expect to have my ass handed to me by the MiGs on a regular basis, as happened on my way to RTB yesterday afternoon. News flash: flying straight and level can be hazardous to your health! I've managed to get SRS up and running, as confirmed on another server, but have had no luck with coms here. Is there a list of freqs somewhere? Are people typically using the SRS plug in, Teamspeak, or simply just communicating over chat? Also, are there typically human GCI controllers, or are we simply contacting AI? GCI sure would've helped me avoid getting schwacked yesterday afternoon! :) TIA for any answers, and once again, a big thanks for those who are designing the missions/hosting the server! PS: If there are any groups/individuals that fly the F-5 and are looking for a wingman to fly/train with, let me know. I do have RW experience. It's all in heavies but I'd be happy to pass on formation/pattern/ATC procedures etc. Just don't expect me to know anything about BFM.

CHDT Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 Same question as Midnightzulu, I try to use SimpleRadio, what frequency (I fly in F-5E) should I set to contact other human "blue" players ?
Pipe Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 251.00 is awacs Sent from my SM-G920W8 using Tapatalk i7 4770k @ 4.5, asus z-87 pro, strix GTX 980ti directcu3oc, 32gb Kingston hyperX 2133, philips 40" 4k monitor, hotas cougar\warthog, track ir 5, Oculus Rift
CHDT Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 Thanks Pipe, but the frequency to talk to the other players ? Also, when starting from for instance Sochi, do I have to put the 127 frequency to talk to the tower ?
razo+r Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 Thanks Pipe, but the frequency to talk to the other players ? Also, when starting from for instance Sochi, do I have to put the 127 frequency to talk to the tower ? you can contact the tower but in multiplayer the tower is rarely used or even contacted
CHDT Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 (edited) Just tried SimpleRadio a few minutes ago on ColdWar. It seems I've some setup trouble with my micro (sound is very weak), but nobody seems to be on coms. Better to use Teamspeak ? Edited March 1, 2017 by CHDT
Coxy_99 Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 I must admit i did find the new mission in a very large area where air to air targets were sparse, But the server was pretty empty so maybe why, Although there were lots of ground units to kill, What about making the next mission between Kutasi and Tiblsi its a nice valley through there where you could put bullseye in the middle in the open? but just a thought, I found it painful flying from sochi to Maykop in the hawk then up to novo, Now i do fly the L-39ZA also and thats slower, Thats just my feedback hope it helps, Your first mission is nice and compact and lots happening which is cool :thumbup:

Most missions take place around Sochi, Gudauta, Sukhumi and Senaki simply because they're close from each other but that's becoming too boring. I thought about Kutaisi and Tibilisi but since there's no sea for the Viggen to attack ships I didn't do it. Next mission will surely be Kutaisi and Tibilisi but until then we'll give the new mission some time. I need to learn more about moose before starting a new mission.

razo+r Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 And that's how you end up with a pilot on landing and another one on the runway threshold...:music_whistling: That's why you always look for traffic before taxiing on the runway... but well, some just don't care if someone is on final...
comie1 Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 Yeah, still suffering from the crashes unfortunatly. There was around 25 people on last night when it went off ;( Hopefully be fixed all in good time. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] https://www.twitch.tv/comie1

Alpenwolf Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 The R-73 and the AIM-9M will be removed. Server's running again. HACA DYCA Discord Cold War 1947 - 1991 You can help me with keeping up the server via PayPal donations: hokumyounis@yahoo.com
Midnightzulu Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Suggestion/idea for the server: Not sure if it's possible or not, but it might be interesting to have a handful of strategic targets to strike. Factories, bridges, etc. CAS is not the F-5s strong suit (especially without a FAC firing target marking rockets.....hmmmm) and some static strike targets might make for some interesting missions. As an incentive, enemy aircraft could be removed and/or friendly added for each successful strike. Also, when choosing locations for the next mission, keep in mind each aircrafts navigational capabilities. Not that Sochi is all that hard to find, but TACAN equipped fields could make some lower wx scenarios possible for the F-5 bubbas. None of this is meant as a critique of the current state of the server, which is great. Just throwing some ideas out there.
comie1 Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 The R-73 and the AIM-9M will be removed. Server's running again. Might as well take the HAWK out the server then ;( P.S server is down again [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] https://www.twitch.tv/comie1
CHDT Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 When this server is down, two consequences: 1: the only server with a realistic planeset is gone. 2: no more servers for the F-5E !
