So good to have BF back, hope it holds.

[Oceandar]

No - that was disabled a while back due to lag, sorry.

Can we have it back enabled ?

 

Little bit OT, I think ED did something in the recent patch because the R/ER seem more deadly and become more reliable. Anyone notice this?

Nope sorry, it's literally just working as of this patch, so not going to push it any more other than some harrier additions and map tweaks.

 

Once we've had it stable for weeks running with 60 players then it's a maybe but a long road to go for that! :)

Great to see you getting things sorted with this guys, I know a lot of people have really missed this (myself included) and it will be a massive win for the community to have it back running full time.

 

Good luck!

... Loadout issues are due to warehouse - needs to be rebuilt

 

... Just need to get auto restart sorted!

I think if you delete the warehouse file in the mission file then go back to the mission editor, open the mission, resave it and assign the airfields to their coalitions accordingly (this process makes them go neutral) then it should work just fine.

 

I'm having the same issue with auto restart on the Cold War server; opened a thread for it in the multiplayer section just 2 hours ago. If you figure it out please let me know.

Thanks! Thats what I meant by warehouse rebuild :)

 

We do it quite a lot as its usually the only way to fix the Mig21 loadout.

 

Just deleting the warehouse file and reopening the mission in the editor usually does it.

Mission file updated -

 

1. Mirage loadouts should be fixed.

2. Added Harrier on blue side.

3. Added static aircraft to reduce any freezes from spawning.

 

Please give us your feedback on any issues.

I think frequencies should be listed in the briefing.

 

The rules pdf should be updated and displayed on a more visible place or even written out in a brief format in the briefing

 

Ow, xcom... Ground is for when on the ramp and taxing, Tower is for the active runway and a 10nm miles radius around the airfield and Approach is for... approach 25-30 miles radius

 

You should listen to your ATC :music_whistling:

Type -freq or -frequencies in all chat to get them same as in BF Nevada

 

Description and info will be updated at some point but the PDF I would guess won't be done for a while

Yeah, I did find them eventually as text messages popped up after time. Tho it would have been a lot easier if it was written in the briefing or even just the command.

 

I catch up to things fast so I figured it out with some help in the chat :thumbup:

 

Great to see BF back again

[Shadow KT]

The disrespect for ATC is hurting my feelings :/

 

P.S: There is some respect

also the Frequencis for the AV8 are unusable. SRS does not recognize COMM2 and non of the esencial Freqs are on COMM1

RAZBAM had it backwards. You'll have to wait for them to fix it. Same issue I have in my missions.

[Ciribob]

Frequencies for the Harrier radio should be fixed.

 

As alpenwolf says, second radio isn't working yet and is on a fixed frequency.

Harrier only on blue, thats sad.

 

lots of fun to be had with it, sad only blue gets it.

 

And if someone now jumps out of a bush and says "muh muh muh nato vs pact feeling", I appreciate that but its not going to be viable for blueflag for a long time. We got to figure something out imho attack symetric is ze way to go.

 

For the moment its just the fun to be had tbh. :)

[*Rage*]

Im just happy BF is back!

[ApoNOOB]

Harrier should be able to carry troops!111

 

Don't ban me. :D

[QuiGon]

Server down?

With more modules coming to DCS like F-4, F-14 and F/A-18 the situation is not going to improve. We can accept what DCS gives the mission creators to play with or try to fight it. IMO fighting it will just increase the IFF hell which already is a problem on many servers. Some may not care but some find it as an immersion killer. The other way would be drop the concept of "balancing" the airframes (which IMHO is a dead end) and try to work out another system - like player numbers, number of lifes, supplementing the sides with AI flights, air defences, etc...

Indeed, I would also prever more asymetric approaches. :thumbup:

Yeah, I was looking forward to doing ATC/GCI tonight :/

[xcom]

sorry guys, its back up.

The auto restarter is not completly working atm.

[AbortedMan]

A script with AutoHotKey or NirCMD should be able to handle any issues with prompts preventing restart. If you need help let me know.
