    • Please, reboot your computer and router just before tuning up on Discord (unclogs your bandwidth and helps preventing bad connection and drop offs, which may cost you the match)
    • Please turn off Windows Updater or any app that may run automatically in the background while you are flying as it may cause lag/warping. If you are lagging too much in relation to the server, we will have to stop the match and grant your opponent a walk over win.
    • All matches will be live streamed on Twitch.

    Good luck to you all!

Callsign: SF_Kapsu

Nationality: Finnish

Squadron: SF Squadron

Location: Finland

DCS branch: Open Beta

 

If stable and open beta are on different versions which one we are going to use? My vote goes to OB for latest Hornet goodies.

 

Also fuel dumping is synced between clients now so if no fuel dumping allowed would be more preferable way now it's possible to do that since we can see if someone is dumping fuel.

Welcome aboard, guys!

 

A couple updates:

  • Added Discord information for D-day : CSL (Cross Simulation Lobby) run by "A.S" - Address-----> https://discord.gg/ktbTkDW
  • Registration form updated to include DCS branch info - as of now, both open beta and release are the same, this may change in the meantime. We will make a call on which version will be used later. It's always better to have both DCS branches installed to avoid any hassle. For those who are tight on disk space, there is a way to switch between branches without having to have 2 separate installs--->https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=114030

Mission File ------------->http://sa-sim.com/download/hornet-cup-mission-file/

 

Here you go gents, you can now practise on the exact same mission that will be used on D-day:

 

- Combat bubble is made of two zones: Safe zone and Warning zone.

- An audible warning and a text alert will kick in if you fly out of the safe zone, alerting you that you must turn around.

- If you don't and end up flying out of the warning zone, your plane will be terminated.

- Distance margin between safe zone limit and warning zone limit is 10km.

- The text alert displays for 10 seconds wile the warning sound keeps on playing until you re-enter the safe zone or get terminated.

 

If no warning sound plays for you in your training sessions, you will have to add in the sound file manually to the mission. PM me if you need assistance.
