Can I draw a trigger zone? Or are these drawings considered as a tool for better briefing images maybe? If it's the latter, I use the programme Paint 3D from Windows and it's great. Not saying this new addition to the ME isn't good, God forbid, just trying to figure out its actual purpose.

Not saying this new addition to the ME isn't good, God forbid, just trying to figure out its actual purpose. I imagine this will provide the ability to draw on the F10 map and have it display for all players in game. Maybe different drawings by coalition. If this is the case it will have some utility. Instead of using script to draw marks to show locations you can just draw them on the map. Long overdue capability. Plus you could put the PayPal email address right on the F10 map. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'd put the SRS freq. there as well to remove that one big message. Hope you're right.

Apok Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Some ppl dont read briefing so being able to mark/draw everything and see in F10 is great. As I understood this - we can trigger those markers/layers to show up depending on something. So lets say if one mission obj. is achieved other can pop up on map etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tavo89 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 (edited) Yesterday on the mission "when the mountains cry", there was a really good GCI, the best I've heard in RED. Thanks to this I was able to shoot down 4 enemies plus a damaged A10. Question: The server is running on the stable version of DCS 2.7.6.13436 ?, I thought it was only on the Open Beta.

Raviar Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 @Alpenwolfis there possibilities to add AH-64 with limited weapons with disabled some functionalities (by defining failure on the unit for DataLink ...) in the missions(or some mission) where the KA-50 and Mi-24 are available on the RED coalition until we get AH-1? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out the FAQ's on the main post of this thread. I mentioned once that I'm working on a mission (not part of the daily missions rotation) where the AH-64 is going to be included. 1 Cold War 1947 - 1991 Discord Helicopters Tournaments Combined Arms Tournaments You can help me with keeping up the server via PayPal donations: hokumyounis@yahoo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpenwolf Posted October 16, 2021 Author Share Posted October 16, 2021 Operation Disturbed Pacific: - Oil Platforms being indestructible and caused the server to crash (pause actually, not crash) - Fixed. - BRDM-2's were replaced with BMP-1's and added more BMP-1's. - Mi-8's were still spawning even after Blue captured the FARP - Fixed. - The messages "Blue captured Rota FARP" and "Red recaptured Rota FARP" keep on popping up - Fixed. Changed a line in the script and will do the same in other missions. - Blue ships (not Tarawa) were moved 15 km further north and added and trigger to stop them from firing at max range, but will still protect the Tarawa ship. - The mission will go online tomorrow, Sunday, and will kick off around 1800 zulu. 1 Cold War 1947 - 1991 Discord Helicopters Tournaments Combined Arms Tournaments You can help me with keeping up the server via PayPal donations: hokumyounis@yahoo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpenwolf Posted October 18, 2021 Author Share Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) Operation: Close Air Support - Moonlight! Important Notes: - The mission runs for 3 hours (unless one side completes the objective) and only at night. - The mission is not part of the daily missions, but rather an exceptional one. - The mission goes online once in a while. Dates and times are always announced on this thread days prior to the event. - Note that illumination bombs and rockets are the key, especially, for Ka-50's. - SA342M's are at an advantage at night, unlike Ka-50's. - Mi-8's and UH-1's sling load (actual sling loading) ammo crates and can only deploy troops. No CTLD crates. - BMP-3's, BTR-82A's, Bradley's and IFV LAV-25's can pick up troops at their friendly FARP. - Deployed troops can be picked up again by either helicopters or APC's. - A total of 24 x squads of 4 x RPG soldiers can be picked up. - Mi-8's and UH-1's door gunners' accuracy is reduced to 67%. Situation: Red operates from Qeshm Island Airbase and a FARP Blue operates from Kish Intl Airbase and a FARP Both coalitions are advancing with APC's towards Bandar Lengeh Airbase. To get the job done, a coalition must capture and hold Bandar Lengeh Airbase and the enemy's FARP while not losing the friendly FARP. Bandar Lengeh Airbase and both FARP's can be captured and recaptured throughout the entire mission. ------------------------------ Red Forces: 24 x BTR-82A's 12 x BMP-3's 10 x T-80U's 16 x Ka-50's (4 x slots) 20 x Mi-8MTV2's (4 x slots) 6 x Su-25T's (2 x slots) - Vikhr's disabled ------------------------------ Blue Forces: 24 x IFV LAV-25's 12 x Bradley's 10 x Abrams 16 x SA342M's (4 x slots) 20 x UH-1H's (4 x slots) 6 x A-10A's (2 x slots) *************************** Red Objectives: Important Notes: All aircraft are limited in numbers, so always RTB to save your aircraft.

Each ammo crate rearms one tank only. 10 x ammo crates for 10 x T-80U's. If an ammo crate is lost, one T-80U will remain out of service.
