PeaceSells Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I have a question that has nothing to do with the new mission mechanics (honestly not in a position to give proper feedback on that, as I'm kind of a a noob and also haven't played transport roles). I've now learned that you can have a pretty good idea of what every player is doing, including enemies, just by looking at the "Choose Role" screen. This happens for all servers I've played so far and might be not possible to change, due to DCS's limitation. But I was wondering... Would it be possible to not show what airbase and aircraft each enemy player is using?

You see, ED is neglecting MP environment development big time, or if they don't and I'm wrong it doesn't show in performance and usability anyway. But your thoughts are on track.

RedBat07 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I think it could be possible by putting slots “on ground” instead on ramps and that way it shouldn’t say what airfield is it at,, but there is other side of coin aswell - you also wouldn’t know where will you spawn when you choose slot.

Shadow KT Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Can't the "took off from" and "landed at" messages be turned off, that will pretty much make it a guessing game, what the opponent will do 'Shadow' Everybody gotta be offended and take it personally now-a-days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is kind of the same but a step further.. he is talking about.. for example - you join in and there are 3 blue A-10s slots taken at Vaziani.. so you will automatically asume they are going to strike east flank, if you are going to do CAP, it will be out of Mozdok or Beslan and you will probably be able to intercept them before they even reach their target - you won’t take fighter out of Anapa and patrol around Sochi..

Shadow KT Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Well, you can say that is just having intelligence(information).

Tj1376 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I know this is slightly off topic, but for those that can join this server, can you tell me what your rig setup is? I’ve been really frustrated since 2.5 went into beta as I can’t join any MP server due to the memory leak. Joining this server DCS uses 15 gig of memory and then crashes. I don’t have a slouch of a rig by any stretch, but was curious what hardware seems to be the “winning” combination to get onto Blue Flag. Appreciate any input, even if that’s a DM to me to avoid cluttering up the thread. Specs: Win7 pro 4770k oc’d a lot 16gig ddr3 SSD 780TI oc’d a lot Running hotfix 4 Thx TJ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
104th_Maverick Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Appreciate any input, even if that’s a DM to me to avoid cluttering up the thread. A method that works for a lot of people is loading the mission in Single Player first. Ask the server admin for a copy of the mission, then open the mission up in the Mission Editor from the DCS main menu. Launch the mission and wait for it to load up (may a few mins), then exit back to the main menu without quitting DCS and join the server from the Multiplayer Lobby. Good luck!

Shadow KT Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 An i5 3570k @4.4, GTX560Ti, 12Gb of RAM @1333Mhz and DCS on an SSD lets me join any of these servers. I don't even have to load up the mission prior anymore. Have you deleted those folders that people keep talking about ? What I do is, load the mission editor once, let it load the whole map. Go to MP, join a server, don't touch anything, get a book if you have to. Let it spit you out to the main menu and join again and voila 'Shadow' Everybody gotta be offended and take it personally now-a-days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My DCS never conects to servers like Blue Flag or 104th Phoenix on 1st attempt. First attempt is always a crash or a return to DCS initial screen. Then on second attempt it usually connects, but not always.

StandingCow Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) Seems Nalchik was stuck on about 48% (or so) for us until the server restarted then it was closed after server restart. We assume the same is happening for Min Vody right now, it's at 41% and we can't find any more targets.. Edit: Server restarted and Vody is now at 0% health.

Bersagliere81 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Server is flooded by blues these days. Even blue side gets bored and just go for random a-g. I'd like to suggest to switch Mirage to red side (and add F-5 with aggressor skins).

Sierra99 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) Seriously need to cut back the number of night missions. Especially back to back night missions. ED brings out a visually spectacular map and you hobble it with missions where all you see looking out the window is black. Flying at night is more than just black in real life...in DCS it's just boring..

MRaza Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Hey guys has anyone ever thought of making the rule so that you announce takeoffs and landings on the actual tower frequency, which is different for each airfield, found on the F10 map? I just find it'd be more realistic we tuned into XXX.XXX freq for one airfield and YYY.YYY freq for a different one, instead of one frequency for all airfields in the Caucasus region which is a bit unrealistic imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's obviously for safety in real life, but in sim world "ain't no body got time fo dat". I've been a Harrier pilot of late and I land any, and everywhere. Also, it unenforceable. I fly in real life and we even have trouble get THOSE pilots to use the radio sometimes. Head on swivel, Men! (and ladies, just haven't heard any yet. Not saying they don't exist, either.)
