unable to use commands in the Discord, will not let me report my issue;bot telling me I do not have permissions to do that, I follow the FAQ and .linkme doesnt work for me. will not let me type in the chat and roll channels. 

 

profile is 71st_Mastiff.

I don't think I'm banned. but I suspect a profile issue.

 

 

 

Go to roles and hit the mig-21 emoji to get cold war access.

Why are we all getting shot down by our own SA-8? I barely left the field. I went about 5min out and then came back and flew over, then beep, beep, beep from the RWR and I am dead. I was in a blue Octogon. Didn't you say spawn camping airfields was not allowed? Because it is happeneing right now with a Mirage F1CE.....................

I've been playing a lot of ECW in the Huey and I'm enjoying it quite a bit. Find a sector without too much air traffic and I can take out all frontline units in a single sortie. I haven't figured out how the water hexes work, though. Are there frontline units in those or just ship-based infrastructure units? Can I land SOF troops on a boat to take it out?

Also, is the kill radius for standard troops 4 km or 3 km? The faq says 4 km, but I've heard people say it's only 3 km. The faq also says a squad will kill up to 8 units, but in my experience it's 4. Tested and it's definitely 4 km.

Is there a patreon or something? Happy to contribute to keep this awesome battle going!

I hate discord, so I don't follow on it.

Hopped on today during the Caucasus map and saw that the Hind can no longer equip ATGMs.  I assume this is only for the Caucasus map and they get enabled again on Syria?

Yes, we were experimenting with a no PGM version of Caucuses.

Next time we are on Caucuses PGMs will be back.

Splash script makes the game worse.

S8kom and even s5ko heat frag destroy vulcans, m60 and leopard 1 via splash damage without direct hit.

It looks bad it's too easy it removes the need to improve and it also leaves the feeling of getting undeserved scores when the script gives you free damage like this

How does hydra m151 perform with the script?

Hello

I am long-time Cold war server lover.  Is there any chance to get the bomber intercept missions back at some point? I mostly fly Mig-21 and it was so great to finally fly it at the altitudes an attack profile it was mainly designed for. Eventually, when RASBAM releases the EE Lightning I might even fly some Blue and again this aircraft only really makes sense in the high altitude intercept missions.

High-altitude bomber intercept missions were such an important component of Cold War military strategy and I would like to see it represented again in the server. 

Thank you for all the work you put in to the server, it's THE place to be for DCS in my opinion.

They are coming back in the next patch. We are going to be making them based on player credits to call in. So they will be more dynamic and not based on a clock

Is the plan to stay on SRS for voice chat or to move to the ingame VOIP?

SRS for now. As 2.9 gets some fixes we can start experimenting and trying in game voip

@Enigma89 Did you already thought about the F4E and a potential integration into the server? F4 vs Mig21 should be a good historical scenario.

I think it should be a main stay of the blue side. I dont think it is advanced enough to be a 'rare' appearance only bird since it was replaced by the F-14 and a GEN 3 fighter.

It will be on the server

Sorry if this is a stupid question but help out a new player that doesn't use discord that much.  I have checked the FAQ and can't find the password to join either Red of Blue coalition.  Can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong or where I'm supposed to see how to join the server?

There is no password for the server.

Hey mate.

No, we haven't disabled GCI, but in 2.9 something happened to the Fog of War, making the GCI display only show up randomly and then disappear. One could say that for now, there's no use in doing GCI.

Hello Enigma, 

Quick question.  Is the terrible improved (but bugged) spotting dot enabled or disabled server side?

I sincerely hope that it can be disabled server side to ensure a level playing field on the Enigma Cold War server.

I have turned the improved (but bugged) spotting dot off, as has now been enabled by the latest patch, under the gameplay settings. 

For many of us the new improved (but bugged) spotting dot is very bad as we get large black squares displayed which stand out for miles and completely ruins immersion, especially in VR. 

Thanks for your consideration.

Happy landings,

Talisman

Via PM Enigma has replied as follows: "This is handled by the player side not server side."

Happy landings,

Even if disabled Track Ir and 1080p players will still have a little advantage vs VR players IMHO.

@Enigma89 gday sir, question about track files - looking back at my tracks it appears as of October whenever I am on the Cold War server I can't get a local track file. its a tiny 1.8mb file with the mission options but sadly I can't replay my track file as my flight data is not stored there. Anything I am missing in settings, or custom settings for ECW, as I would love to do some cinematic missile hits etc.. but just have to rely on my VR capture. 

 

seems like back in october or so I had local track files then not, or rather a small mission track file rather then my flight track file. i checked and I do get regular track files from all other servers, and there is no disk space issue on the drive.

 

cheers!

By track files you mean the local replays that are saved in your dcs folder? If so, we aren't (and can't afaik) do anything to stop you from getting those. So if they are not populating then I am not sure why?

JTAC with combined arms: F10 shows only friendly aircraft.

Is there a way to actually be in AWACS \ GCI role and see what friendly radars are seeing? Would the same be with LotAtc?
