Crash

No Colin quite the opposite. I need an excuse to really start with DCS and I hoped that one of the nights would be swapped. Would the DCSers fly on Sunday or Tuesday? Has anyone asked? What about a trial period to see if numbers improve.

To be honest Col, I cant see why no change was an option. DCS flyers who dont want to do GBS on Tuesdays or Sundays would get an extra DCS night, I dont know why they would vote for no change. I dont think it was a choice of dropping either Monday or Thursday. Still a bit miffed.

what did you mistakenly buy?

Still a bit disillusioned about numbers and i dont feel that 3 or 4 people are enough to do coops. I still want to do DCS but offline isnt as good and although I might be able to do 1 night a month on Thursdays that isnt a satisfactory solution. Does the vote to keep the nights as they were mean that DCS on a Sunday or Tuesday are out because people cant make it?

I found corrosion issues on some of the soldered joints , so I have decided to move the Leonardo to the main body and change some switches for better ones. Pix will follow when the deed is done.

You cant beat a bit of stupid PS check the PSU requirements, sockets etc.

If the numbers are low then I would prefer a mission orientated dogfight so the game can flow. The dogs used to have this and I thought it quite successful. If we do coops then I think short missions are best. I prefer ground pounding with the occasional intercept. I prefer using the icon mod and that is one thing I miss from 1946. It all depends on how many turn up, as I am not enjoying the WW server or the other one we use as much as I used to enjoy our missions. As it looks like no change in the GBS DCS nights which means I cant do the DCS nights and poorly attended GBS nights arent that enjoyable for me, but thats where we are. I would have preferred Sunday or Tuesday for DCS.

Last night Fen said he would like to do another campaign. I would like to suggest that we keep it shortish and maybe use Pats generator.

As it looks inevitable that we are moving over, this might be of interest

I bet the captain responsible is glad he isnt in the Russian Navy

I have tried to host a couple of times but there was/is an issue whether it was windows or the router I dont know. anyway we were down to maybe 3 or 4 on a Thursday morning and I really cant see the point in coops with numbers that low. Yes we could have used the dog fight map which was how Thursdays started but people preferred coop and we used to get people waiting for the mission to be called but sometimes it is hard to be fair when someone is on a killing spree and a couple of others are hanging around. ps I used to host most of the 1946 nights in the dim and distant past.

I think Friar will be very excited

Fen, I have stopped recruiting as I dont feel comfortable saying "fly with us its great" and then just 3 or 4 show up on GBS night. I used to encourage people to join in even a year ago. The thing about GBS is people know that its end of life, DCS on the other hand say lots of stuff coming in the next few years so that make people feel positive about DCS and negative about GBS. Do any of the Quorum members still fly GBS except for the fortnightly campaign? As for missions being repetitive yes they are as we can only shoot stuff down and bomb stuff. At least with DCS we could do carrier and inflight refuelling. Also would DCS players turn up on the old GBS nights? I think that the last point is important. I know that you find DCS a far more fulfilling sim but what about the others who have turned to DCS (I nearly said the Dark Side)

Also the forum is very quiet lately and we need more input from members on what they want to get out of the Dogz. To be honest I cant recommend our squad any more but if we were able to work out what we want to be and then turn up on squad nights then things would change.

Have a look at page one of this thread. Spooky

What about Tuesdays? I cant make either Monday or Thursday.

What about swapping Sundays or Tuesdays for DCS, as the turnout is poor. We have to go on public severs that dont allow mods and its not the same as are old Coops.

I hate to even suggest this, but due to low numbers on GBS nights and general lack of interest in the GBS part of the Dogz forum is it worth keeping the GBS server going?

Cant make it due to going on hols

Maybe me as well

Thanks FT

I have been thinking about my VR issues and I will give SteamVR a go on Tuesday instead of Open composite. I was looking forward to a GBS session and was a bit miffed that I couldnt take part. When I quitted, the game the Hanger screen was still showing and it was like it was trying to run 2 copies of the game. I got Bulldog sorted with the mods. The config file was read only!

Salute BG

I think Friar enjoys blowing up tanks from his helicopter
