Driver/Pilot could stream video via Discord maybe?

I'm in, and can be a pilot or driver as have both the Huey and combined arms

@DD_Fenrir - Thanks Sir. I will be using some nice "crossword" style clues to locations, so if that is your thing, get signed up!

I'm up to give this a go Col.

Ok Chaps, listen up. I have had another of my, sometimes, wild and "out of the box" ideas. I have had an idea for a "Virtual Christmas Party" get together to get as many Dogz in the same place at the same time as possible. My idea takes the form of "Treasure Hunt". Two teams on Discord (using this for possible option of pilot to stream their flight back to the team) will be given clues to locations on one of our DCS maps, (probably Normandy). PLEASE DO NOT STOP READING IF YOU DO NOT HAVE DCS - ITS NOT REQUIRED FOR THIS EVENT, PLEASE READ ON... Each team will have a single helicopter pilot (Huey?-I think enough people have this module?) and a co-pilot (who must also have Combined Arms which can be downloaded on a free two week trial) The rest of the team members do not need the map or a helicopter or even DCS! Their job is to act as clue solvers (the clue leads to a hidden location) using the power of the internet and research and then feed back the location to their pilot to direct them to the next clue location. Once the pilot lands at where the team thinks they should be the co-pilot will exit the helicopter and be given a Willeys Jeep to drive to the "exact" clue location. Once they have arrived at the correct location, they will be given another clue for the next location and so on. Both teams (probably on separate routes) must race to the final same clue location to claim the final prize and victory. This idea has been inspired by a late eighties British TV programme (which was its self taken from a French TV idea) called "Treasure Hunt" (hopefully you can see the link to a sample TV episode below to get the idea of what I am trying to do) What do you think? Have I left the lid of the glue tin again or does this have some merit? I would probably suggest we try and run it on a latish Sunday evening UK time to try and suit as many time zones as possible. I have not started building the clues yet but am thinking the event should last about 90 minutes or so? If you think it does sound like a "goer" please let me know in a post below and if you would like to take part.

Done!

Started the update, but it takes itself past my bedtime. Will finish it tomorrow!

I think we have decided that there is no set timetable for these. If we get a group on a Thursday that wants Syria we will fly that, if attendees suit and request WWII, we will fly that.

Chaps,are you planning to fly this or the normandy foothold ? If you are planning to do the normany as well could you please let me know what the proposed timetable for each is as I would like to fly the syria campaign but Im not interested in ww2 as I still fly BoX

great to hear from you mate, take care

Thanks chaps I am getting a minimum 2TB hard drive to run DCS from. With aircraft and all the maps I am struggling with a 500GB

Hi Sid, Everything in your dcs saved games folder is your personal settings for dcs, usally found here, C:\Users\kevin\Saved Games\DCS If you make a back up of that, reninstall dcs on your new drive, and then copy that over the new saved games dcs folder the fresh instal will create, will have all your settings.

Hi Sid, hope you are well. I guess it would be the controllers (which is in the "Config" directory) and skins? Others with more tech savvy knowledge should hopefully chime in. Looking forward to the day we get you back in the air with us. We have just started a 1944 Normandy rolling campaign.

Hi chaps Apologies if there is a thread for this but can you advise what folders to back up and where they are please. I want to uninstall and reinstall on a different drive and save control settings etc. Cheerzen

+1 Really glad to hear he is improving and sounds in good spirits. Thanks for the update Wingy

Will do my friend.

Really glad to hear that Zukker is improving, if only slowly at the moment 👍 Please pass on my regards and best wishes for a full recovery, and let him know he's in our thoughts this side of the pond too

Hey Friar, Zukker is slowly improving with some movement in his legs allowing walking exercises. His right arm he can't lift up, left arm has movement and can raise higher. He has some function as he surprised us by coming on Discord the other night sounding chipper and determined to work hard, and with time get back to flying with us. It amazes us how friendly and close we all become toward each other, even over the net miles miles away. Stay safe and Healthy my Friends. Wingy

That could almost be a clip from me last night playing the Normandy 1944 Campaign......

@wingflyr - No problem mate - will be great to chat when you can next make it - How is @Zukker doing?

yes this ww2 foothold is excellent we started playing it on Tuesday, it would be a wonderful one for the dogs. Sorry I missed the last two, will try my best for the next one
