Shahdoh Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Depends on the type of flying you are looking for. If you want to just fly around with others (non-combat), I recommend the Virtual Aerobatic Public server. We have a large number of helo pilots there and have a good number of Hueys, Ka-50s and Mi-8s available to fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watari Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Im most of the time on virtual aerobatics server. I guess here are the most heli guys on open servers. Would be very nice to have a "home" for all the huey,mi8 and shark freaks out there. I guess there are not so many people who wants to fly huey, mi8 coop missions only. Like transport, sar and stuff like this without the fc3 deathmatch ähh thing. I guess we need to organize us :-) :matrix: =SPEED IS LIFE=:matrix: http://www.planeandpilotmag.com/speed-is-life.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nealius Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I need to get myself on as well. I spend most of my online flying with my BMS wing but I am getting bored trying to learn the Huey all by myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRain Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 As you may conclude from your limited response's, there does not appear to be that many hi fidelity flyers around at the moment. Most appear to have returned to other platforms for there flight simulator experiences. I remain optimistic that this will change in the near future and DCS will regain its status as a flight simulator once again and not just a combat simulator. The FC3 death match thing seems to be predominant at the moment and that's a shame for procedural aviation enthusiasts :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog-IC Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 flew UH-1H for first time with my setup... i go online, i mainly see ppl on eno's firehouse, the s77th server... I AM WONDER WHERE ALL THE HELI PILOTS ARE! I can't speak for any others, but myself and a friend who both flew the Ka-50 exclusively, have left DCSW on the back burner for the simple reasons of: Frustration of trying to learn systems that more often than not were just not working anyway. Spending countless hours trying to keep game running at decent frame rates in low altitude situations and at a reasonable fidelity of visuals after just about every patch made the game run worse. Spending even more countless hours, modifying and testing all types of missions so they continued to work with newer revisions of DCSW. Dealing with multiple disconnects on Multiplayer servers, either in the first few minutes of powering up aircraft, or especially after spending quite some time in a mission and doing the objectives only to be disconnected again. I myself look forward to the day that Eagle Dynamics finally, make the DCS series a stable and polished product that is once was. The additions they have implemented are much appreciated, but it is no good having eye candy with out the substance of decent frame rates, controllable aircraft and a stable system with multiplayer.

Watari Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 DCS W esp the Belsimtek products are simpy amazing products and makes so much fun in SINGLEPLAYER. Good performance and most of the time stable and well working. But the MP is simply so damn frustrating and i completly understand what maddog wants to say. You connect to a server, start your aircraft= disconnect start your aircraft, fly to waypoint, someone crashes into the ground or join the server/take a slot= massive lag of 30 sec=crash ok you find a server nice mission, with only 2 or 3 people; you make a nice huey coop action= bäm server crash after 50min ok you see a nice huey mission with 2 people= server closed ok you see a nice mi8 mission with 2 people= server closed and back to SP... :matrix: =SPEED IS LIFE=:matrix: http://www.planeandpilotmag.com/speed-is-life.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vedexent Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 If you're still looking for helicopter wing-men, there's at least 4 of us who fly the Ka-50 in our group now, and most of our missions have slots for the Black Shark and/or Mi-8, now (no Huey slots yet). Two of us are fairly new and trying to master it, so we're on the server and flying the Ka-50 more weeknights than not, right now. Feel free to look us up.

hannibal Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 Yes I understand the frustration. That is why I am here seeking others thoughts about multiplayer.

We've found that keeping missions limited to a couple of flyable airframes ( mostly helicopters for our part ) dramatically increases stability, especially in the 1.2.6 and 1.2.7 beta. We very rarely get disconnects any more as a group and for example, last weekend C Coy flew 4-6 ship co-op UH-1 missions for over 8 hours with single individual sorties lasting up to 2 hours on our dedicated AU server.

scrtagnt69 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I am always down to fly the UH-1 but there is hardly anybody on these days . Most time is spent flying Harbour Tour...Too many locked servers with too many people trying to tell others how to fly because they are a supposed RL pilot or groups trying too hard to be legit with name plates/ribbons/ranks ^ that is the reason why I quickly lost interest in 229..So if you are down for some actual flying short/long multiple hops etc. hit me up !
