Is there a setting that needs to be in the mission settings for this to work Crash? if so I will make sure its on, just let me know.

UPDATE 21st September 2024 Syria Campaign Map Added A2A and A2G Phantoms at Incirlik Patched scoring routines to resolve server crash. If the scoring now works correctly, my next phase is to add the Persistence code, so we are getting close to running this map as an ongoing Campaign.

This reply is based on only a little knowledge but I know that the radar can be set at an angle. Was it looking in the right place, i.e up not down?

@DD_Fenrir Confused of Croydon here. The DangerDogz discord I have (that we went to the other night is the only one I have) Can we post a link in the private threads then please to the "official" one - plus who are the admins or that?

I was only aware of the one we went to when TS dropped out? What are the details for the other one @DD_Fenrir ?

Update - Ref Scoring. It seems that there is a DCS object scoring bug for DML so, for now, building scores are not being recorded, all the other kills will be, air to air and ground units etc. These scores will be reported as and when you gain them (although they are not fully awarded until you land safely, for which you get awarded an extra 5 points) If these messages become too distracting I can turn them off but thought it would be good to leave them in for now as we iron this process out. You can get your stats and all scores through the comms F10 "other" menu. Update - Alpha FOB Signal Smoke I have added a little routine for when the Alpha FOB gets taken by blue forces an option will be added to the comms F10 "other" menu for FOB ATC. You will be able to trigger blue smoke for a short time to give you an indication of the landing zone, in case you can not see it. This option on the menu is only available whilst the FOB is in blue's control. Update - Alpha FOB MaxxPro APC For those of you who have Combined Arms I have added 4 MaxxPro APC vehicles when blue takes control of the FOB. You can load up a Section of troops from here (they can be loaded and deployed just as the helicopters do, via the comms F10 "other" menu) and go off in search of trouble towards Harim if you want. If you do, watch out for small packets of enemy troops. I am away from tomorrow and not back flying again till next Thursday. Regards Friar

UPDATE #2 Turns out it was easier than I thought to add scores for buildings. So the key targets marked out with a black box will now score 150 points each (these are map object buildings, not objects I have placed to facilitate the location) if you fancy going after them. The exception to this is that the TV and Radio stations will score 300 points, however the orphanage that is now sitting between them will score -500

Forgot to include Alpha FOB moved nearer to large clearing to make landing a bit easier. The building is marked by a white container next to it. If you own Combined Arms you can now transport troops in the new MaaxPro APC. So why not load up an 82nd section, drive them into the combat area, deploy them and then escort them in manning the 50cal.

UPDATE 8th SEPTEMBER New version uploaded Syria Campaign M1-v1 A2G F14's added to carrier Carrier now has destroyer escort Air Boss and LO positions added (I may have already reported this but I think I lost them again) Enemy AI now triggered by entering flight zones rather than at spawn-in, giving reduced flight/engagement times. Extra defenses added to Harim and surrounding area. Airfield capture for Aleppo, Taftanaz and Abu Al Duhur now enables blue flyable units making them live RRR / spawn locations. The enemy may be miffed about this and try and get them back. Airborne troops are now split into two tasks. The 82nd and 101st will be available in all places troops can be picked up. This will be Hatay, Alpha FOB and Taftanaz (when airfield (when in blue ownership). 82nd Sections and Platoons must be used for attacking towns when it is not safe to drop troops inside the capture zone. When deployed they will travel across country towards the nearest zone that they need to capture. Range is not an issue for these units. Once they have taken control they will stand guard. The 101st Sections and Platoons must be used for capturing airfields and towns where you feel it is safe to deploy them on site. These troops will only travel towards enemy (if present) within a 300m radius. If no enemy present they will enable the capture of the airfield/town and stand guard in a circle where you deploy them. Both the 101st and 82nd can be picked up again and re used. Scoring Added (see below) Player Scores The mission will now award scores for enemy air kills, ground units and safe landings. Any points gained on a flight must be "claimed" by making a safe landing at any of the blue owned airfields or FOB's. You must remain in the safe zone (runway for aircraft or take-off areas for helicopters) for at least 10 seconds (so crashing into the ground in a ball of flames does not count as a "landing" ). The carrier is also marked as a safe place. Friendly unit kills will earn a deduction. I am looking into setting buildings have a score as well so the TV and Radio stations may have a bonus value to make them an inviting target but the orphanage may be a big punishment ... DONE SEE BELOW Player scores can be viewed through the Comms F10 "Other" menu. You can can view your own and the tally for the other players as well. My hope is that these scores will be part of the on-going campaign and be carried over from one mission to the next, but one-step-at-a-time. So you now have an incentive to look after your air frame and get it home. If you die or crash without saving the points they will be lost to you. cfrag is working on a Bank option so my long term goal with the points is that they will be able to be traded for upgrades to the airfields etc. But this is very early days for this function at the moment. Enjoy and thank you for your support and patience as I develop this campaign.

I have not added "Persistence" yet. The server will roll the mission at 01:00 and 12:00. You can always re-start the mission yourself by going into the Comms F10 "other" option and selecting "Mission Commands" and then Re-start.

That sounds like a preference to me....

@delta7 Please record your vote in the ballot box at the top of this thread.

Although flying in VR seems to be an excellent experience from what I have been told (and something I defo would like to try) it seems that users are jumping through hoops to get the best out of which ever unit you use. There is also that trade off from quality and performance. Using a flat screen with your card I am sure will look fantastic (Fruitbat has a 4k screen and loves it)

Do you know what the issue was?

Its easy to use Delta, nothing to fancy.

@T_O_A_D - We already have a DangerDogz discord, but thanks for the offer.

err @Crash - I don't think you have. Of the 3 votes cast yours is not one of them?

You have not voted Crash?

On the router you are using are there are "approved devices" lists? bit of wild stab (this new pc is not "allowed" to connect?) You can trust the network cable you are using? have you switched the pc off and on again (may be difficult in the middle of the install I guess)

Salute, During the DCS session last night we lost TeamSpeak again. I was able to re-start it with no issue but this now seems to be a regular issue (it happened during Mondays session as well). I believe that the level of Discord we require is free (open to being corrected) and that we pay for Teamspeak. It seems that the majority of us that play these days already have Discord installed so would not be too much of an issue moving? What do you guys think?

IIR we only changed textures.

Looking forward to you joining a DCS night soon then

Had a really odd error this morning. When I launched the game I got the following error "Failed to get authorization data. Error code 500. No saved authorization found". Turns out it is to do with the date time on my pc. I went into control panel and date time and then went into internet clock and got it to update. All good now. EDIT: Odd thing I found a youtube video explaining how to set the clock sync that is dated exactly 1 year ago........ Do Microshaft have an issue with 31st August / 1st September?

Added option to re-start the mission as well.

UPDATE 23RD AUGUST 2024 Syria Campaign M1 (Mission 1 - Harim / Aleppo Airfield) Added ability via comms F10 "Other" to "Request More Enemy AI" Made enemy AI more random. When an A2A plane is taken (or a request made) one of the enemy airfields is picked at random then a flight of planes at that airfield is picked at random to spawn in. These features will be carried forward to other Syria Campaign missions. Friar.
