XSAF - Training and Check rides not necessary

[PravusJSB]

I think you have to react to the rules and it grants your initial role

hi all

Interested in trying this server. How do I get in. Im on discord but can comm with anyone. I only see the rules section. Thanks for the info.

 

 

You need to "interact" with the rules section (after reading the rules).  You interact by emoji.  If you do not have emoji's enabled in your Discord settings, you must do that.  You can click on one of the existing emoji's (thumbs up, smiley face, etc.) - or you can add another.

 

PM me if you are still unable to sort it out and I will walk you through it in a different manner.

 

 

Cheers,

Long time ago, i've read or heard that you got help from ED for this. Is that true?
Dont trust random rumor so want to check directly with you

This has not received any assistance from Eagle Dynamics, to my knowledge - but Pravus would be better suited to answer that question, as he is the mission creator.  I've just been blessed enough to assist with the testing since day 1 (waaaaaaaaay back when on the Caucasus map).

Our @op_Alpha / XSAF server video is complete after working on it between a few of us for almost 3 weeks, it's signed off by all parties, and is rendered. Will be premiering on YouTube at 11pm tonight (3 hours time).

Big props @PravusJSB!  Been a pleasure to be on this thrill ride since day 1.  So crazy to think of how far you've taken your creation from that time, to where it is now, to where it will be in the future.  It's absolutely amazing as it is - but I know you, you'll never pull the throttles to flight idle.  It's MIL power or gates.  Can't even bring myself to fly SP or in another MP server - nothing compares.

 

 

 

Cheers,

I mean it doesnt really show you what sin the server, but it felt cool to make and show what the guys have to put up with and how they deal with it. Can't stop watch it lol

[Ziptie]

XSAF hosts a public server, with a persistent and truly dynamic mission unlike anything else in DCS.  This is available to the public, for free, thanks to the "Mad Scientist" we know as @PravusJSB.  Want to come fly with us in the closed operation?  Come fly in the public server and rank up (promotions exist in our server) - we'll see you in the virtual skies!

Real excitement and satisfaction when you fly in the mission, are an integral part of the success, get to experience all of the tools available to you, and the rest of the team!

Rotary wing ops, we've got it. 

Fixed wing ops, we've got it. 

Carrier ops, we've got it. 

Airfield ops, we've got it. 

Air to air, we've got it. 

Air to ground, we've got it. 

Day and night ops, we've got it. 

AAR, we've got it.

Finite resources (airframes, weapons, fuel) - we've got it.

Factories - we've got them.

Build airframes and weapons, we've got it. 

Warehouse supply logistics, we've got it.
Rotary and fixed wing personal escorts (so to speak) - we've got them.  
Supply chain - we've got it. 
Fog of war - we've got it. 

Visual recon - we've got it. 

Tactical bomber strikes - we've got them. 

Tactical tomahawk strikes - we've got them.

Reaper drone strikes - we've got them.

Human GCI(s) - we've got them. 

SRS - we've got it. 

Custom kneeboards - we've got them. 

JTAC(s) = we've got them.
AI that think like a human player (and better) - we've got it.
AI that strategize, bait, react to your decisions - we've got it.

Team work-  we've got it.

Want to be a part of a true team environment, be a part of something greater, feel like you are truly contributing to the mission progress?

v3 AI has been introduced - and oh boy, sets the bar even higher.  Well done Pravus, well done.  Big thanks to all our community members, for assisting with the testing to flesh out any of the hiccups along the way.  Team work, couldn't ask for more.

 

 

Cheers,

This sounds truly interesting. I've joined the Discord, and read and responded to the rules... now I have access to many channels but as far as I've seen, all of them are read-only. What's the next step?

Opening post has been edited to reflect current state of development, and to add details of our monthly prize draw.

 

Monthly Competition

 

As of the start of the next operation, we will be running a new competition which will run monthly for the foreseeable future. The entry requirements and win conditions are very simple, anyone who within the competition period defined by start and end dates increases their 'flight time' by 15 hours will be entered into a draw to win a module/map of their choosing from the ED store. Each 15 hours will count as 1 entry into the draw, and the winner will be chosen live with some custom random code i will write live on the stream of the draw.

Have you found your way around the Discord now? If not drop me a PM on Discord

Well that was a tough but very enjoyable campaign with the latest version of SkyNet AI.. near 7 weeks, thought we had RedFor on the backfoot at least 4 times only to be pushed back via land, sea and air assets, including SkyNet throwing small nuclear scuds at our bases in desperation.

 

Really enjoy this server and it is really unique.. no 2 session are the same, you never know what SkyNet is planning and she's mean.. she even picks out high impact players as key threats and comes after you.. mean, mean mean.

 

Great combination of all aspects of DCS - Airframe, Helo's, Combined Arms (very important part of the arsenal and ground units fully controllable), Logistics  and more.

 

Would recommend giving the server a go to anybody.. its open to all and you can dip in and out as much as you like.

Uh, how? Rules in the discord also seem to clearly prohibit this.

[PravusJSB]

Mutley means theres no requirement to give any minimum commitment or to be on at X time ect, you wouldnt want to dip in to the mission on your own any that wont be much fun and there will be some grumpy people asking why you wasted their time, this is a team sport and that what the rules are there for. 

[Mohamengina]

Where is the server hosted? Any plans to roll it out across various regions?

[PravusJSB]

Its up 24/7 hosted in the uk. 

[Mohamengina]

Any chance you will host one in the US or Oceania?

 

I live in New Zealand so would be awesome to be able to play it with decent ping

[PravusJSB]

Sure thing, we did have one in the USA for a while and a second server in the UK on a different map, someone would have to fund the server, hit me up on Discord to discuss  PravusJSB#9484

[PravusJSB]

We just recently started a new variation on the original campaign and the op is only a few days old. Should last 3-4 weeks.

[PravusJSB]

 

[PravusJSB]

It's harder than you think to keep this thread updated, but we have recently released a large document detailing how to use and what this server offers, you can find it easily on our discord. We have just started to implement the V4 of the core logic which enables the AI to 'think' and make decisions, something pretty special and which the refactor started in Sep '21.

[Drif]

Bump.

We're still going strong, and got guys fighting SkyNet every night. Good guys, good fun and a challenging campaign with new tricks employed by the custom AI.
Come check us out and shoot up Skynet!
