b101uk Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 don’t you just hate it when….. You have just completed a campaign mission after 2 hours and have wiped 98% of the red objects off the map, landed with all your wheels missing successfully, then found your plane gets repaired :) so you shifted it off the runway to rearm and refuel then seconds before your about to press escape to exit a successful mission an AI A-10 sporns under you’re A-10 causing your plane to blow up and kill you!!!! :censored:
BKLronin Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 DCS is built to frustrate. Those moments when everything went fine are really satisfying in return :P [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
159th_Viper Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Take note of where you spawn and return there once you've RTB'd and landed. Useful habit to get used to, especially so in a MP environment.

genbrien Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 And what about when you spawned on the runway, like in Georgian Hammer Do you think that getting 9 women pregnant will get you a baby in 1 month?[sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Mobo: Asus P8P67 deluxe Monitor: Lg 22'' 1920*1080 CPU: i7 2600k@ 4.8Ghz +Zalman CNPS9900 max Keyboard: Logitech G15 GPU:GTX 980 Strix Mouse: Sidewinder X8 PSU: Corsair TX750w Gaming Devices: Saytek X52, TrackIr5 RAM: Mushkin 2x4gb ddr3 9-9-9-24 @1600mhz Case: 690 SSD: Intel X25m 80gb
b101uk Posted May 5, 2011 Author Posted May 5, 2011 Yes it was a spawn runway mission, so it was hard to go back to a specific spot to rearm. Perhaps the spawn points for humans should be subtly marked different to that of AI, like maybe in the yellow centre lines for AI parking spots and white centre lines humans. :unsure: Still at lest I get to do it agene :doh:
Madman777 Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 I'm pretty sure you can rearm anywhere on at the airbase. Like DCS Blackshark? It's more realistic to return to your starting position...true. i7-12700k, 32GB Ram, RTX 3060 12GB, TrackIR 5, Lots of SSD Space, etc etc DCS World - All the cool modules
Bullitt Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 This has happened to me twice now. My solution has been a little unrealistic I know but I've just taken to finding parking spots off the beaten path a little bit like next to the prop planes or in front of a hardened shelter.
Teriander Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Wait a min! Get Repairs??? How the hell did you get repairs???!! I've landed damaged, parked, shut down.. and my plane is still full of bullet holes. How do I repair???
Villain Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Turn off engines and turn ground power on is how i repair, not sure if thats correct but it works for me just wait 2-3 minutes.
Teriander Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Turn off engines and turn ground power on is how i repair, not sure if thats correct but it works for me just wait 2-3 minutes. Oh my god are you kidding me??? I can't count how many times I've aborted a mission because I got shot up and thought its impossible to complete the mission now... Damn!
159th_Viper Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Oh my god are you kidding me??? Repairs effected at Airbases of your coalition only. GUI Manual pg 156: Ground crew support at airbases When positioned on a friendly airbase, the following ground support services are available: 1. Aircraft repair 3 minutes after engine shut-down. 2. Refueling by ground personnel contacted through the intercom. 3. Rearming by ground personnel contacted through the intercom.

HiJack Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Repairs effected at Airbases of your coalition only. I've not tried repairs in A-10C yet. Is there a clear indicator on the repair? Like in FC2 the cockpit opens, and in BS the door opens. Any simmilar indicator in A-10C? (HJ)

Any simmilar indicator in A-10C? (HJ) Yes, all the broken bits will reappear and it will look and work like new :doh:

VMFA117_Poko Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 It would be a good idea to see a ground crew guiding to a proper parking slot on a ramp. It can be even more useful in future - maybe for carrier ops (?). 1

Any simmilar indicator in A-10C? (HJ) The plane goes up on jacks (in multiplayer you'll get a "Playerxxx has taken off from airfield" notice) and the panels open. You'll certainly know when it's happening. DCS Wiki! :book:
