Moa Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 The 104th is hosting a DCS:A-10C weekend starting 2011-09-24 UTC in conjunction with SimHQ. All A-10C pilots are welcome to attend. The weekend will involve a series of missions (specific missions to be announced) and is designed to get as many A-10C players together flying together at the same time. Pilots can drop in or drop out as time permits - this is a more casual event than the highly structured tournaments such as OPFOR/REDFLAG/Georgian Incident. The emphasis this time is on flying with two dozen (or more) other Hog pilots, which is something most of us have not done before. No matter what level a Hog pilot you are this weekend is for you. More experienced Hog pilots will be encouraged to create flights and show us how it is done (external views will be on). Refer to the SimHQ forum thread for information and further discussions: http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3378586/A_10C_Fly_In_September_24th.html#Post3378586 Mission suggestions and comments are welcome either in this thread or directly in the the 104th forums in the following thread: http://www.104thphoenix.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=3261 Let's fly!

Nicolq Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 What is the usually takeoff mode Will there be a ramp start for a mission? I new here not familiar with the online startup procedures. :smartass:
104th_Crunch Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 Will there be a ramp start for a mission? I new here not familiar with the online startup procedures. :smartass: Not all missions are setup like that, but I believe Moa has a mission or 2 with ramp starts that we can use. Worse comes to worse, jump on Teamspeak for some help. Grab a startup checklist from these forums as well. 104th Teamspeak info 64.34.162.240:9102 password: phoenix
Moa Posted September 22, 2011 Author Posted September 22, 2011 Will there be a ramp start for a mission? I new here not familiar with the online startup procedures. :smartass: All of the 'stallturn' missions have the majority of aircraft set for ramp start and a minority already started and in the air near a friendly airbase (so you can join up formation with your ramp-starting friends). The 104th missions are all ramp start AFAIK. If you are interesting in performing ramp starts I would suggest looking at the excellent in-game tutorial or YouTube videos several times before you want to fly (also take notes, they help a great deal). In a large mission (Operation Rampant Bear has over 80 aircraft slots, with 16 in-air) there are so many players in game and so much carnage going on that it is not a very conducive learning environment for the basics. We will all try to help where we can, but we'll also be busy doing coordinated attacks on targets and dodging missiles (be warned: fighting the Russian Army is never a milk run) as a first priority.
Nicolq Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 Hi, that odd stalls in a mission, the number thing that make DCS-A10 a number one sim is a ramp start ability. And realism but i guess they never consider it.

Nicolq Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 Oh, one more thing, you can solve the stall problem with mission you create for ramp start by reducing your loadout.
howcome Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 Stupid simhq is having problems registering my account. Can't get the teamspeak info. Hopefully it will be good by tomorrow. I am also new and this sounds like a really great time.

Connection details on right side of 104th home page (http://www.104thphoenix.com/) - sorry, I'm too lazy to re-post the details here.
scheffchen Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 very nice mission with so many different front lines and so many units thanks moa - you made my (satur)day ! =) 9900k, 2080TI, 64GB, ssd, valve index, Thrustmaster on virpil, virpil cm2 throttle, tpr pedals, mfd.

Moa Posted September 25, 2011 Author Posted September 25, 2011 It's still going, and will do for at least another 24 hours. Missions are being run on the 104th (US-based) and stallturn (New Zealand-based) servers. Also jump on the 104th or SimHq Teamspeak channels, it is a great way to meet fellow enthusiasts. Here's an in-mission screenshot. The Roki Tunnel, bomb this to stop the 58th Army from invading Georgia in Operation Rampant Bear (the 2008 South Ossetian War).
HiJack Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 It was great with all players online but one of the missions I joined on was set up with MAX civil traffic and was lagging like h*. Impossible to play :(
scheffchen Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 I too noticed some kind of fps-impact but i was still very good to play. Server crashed twice though. ;) check out the TAD... Bestest event since the release of this sim =) 9900k, 2080TI, 64GB, ssd, valve index, Thrustmaster on virpil, virpil cm2 throttle, tpr pedals, mfd.
VMFA117_Poko Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 (edited) Oh yeah. Last night was intense. Everyone was running on every new active steerpoints like hungry wolves. Crowd was big - i almost crashed on somebody when was going defensive :). Incredible sim. But unfortunatelly it was laggy session too... Edited September 25, 2011 by Poko24
howcome Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 Had a very good time. Although, I was shot down once and lost an engine another time. Damn, I need more practice.
PoleCat Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 I dare say with the number of players and the complexity of the missions a few crashes were not only expected but anticipated. We certainly did our best to minimize downtime and get the missions back up and running again quickly after the game crashes. We learned a lot about what to do next time to make it an even better experience for those that fly, and judging from the great fun had by all and the excellent turnout there will be a next time. Big thanks to all who participated http://www.104thphoenix.com/

Bestest event since the release of this sim =) Haha that's awesome. :thumbup: Not seen an air-air collision yet in multiplayer but that looks like it might have had the potential ;) .
104th_Crunch Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 Haha that's awesome. :thumbup: Not seen an air-air collision yet in multiplayer but that looks like it might have had the potential ;) . Happened to me once only in FC. I have I am sure 100s of hours in FC/FC2. Gotta try to find the track... was awesome. 1 minute I was engaged, the next boom.
