Thanks guys I'll try to be on about 2000 hrs tonight

 

Roger that mate, I'll be on as soon as I can, 2030 more likely but I'll do what I can

[DCS MP Server: Grayflag]

@delta7 Can do a session tonight if thats any good?

[Medical Corner]

Ouch! Don’t envy you Siddley mate; especially coming down with it during this climate… yikes!

At least you’re now on the road to recovery with appropriate medication. Hope it gets less uncomfortable soon. Hurty Hampton is not something I like to spend much time imagining…!

[DCS MP Server: Grayflag]

So…

Colin and I tested out the Grayflag Syria COIN server yesterday.

 Pros: everyone on there seemed to be there for the right reasons, coordinating as best they could and pushing objectives; the core architecture works well and seems to do what it’s supposed to in terms of functionality and logging and progressing the map accordingly, also regular AI interceptors performing QRA launches to keep things interesting A2A.

Cons: Laggy. Very laggy. Regular stutters and pauses for me throughout our 2-3 hours online and no improvement over time. Was killed in a low altitude BFM engagement when a 1-3 second pause resulted in a loss of control and a subsequent crash into terrain.

Worth trying their PG map as perhaps the combination of Syria plus all their scripts plus server ping was to blame; PG might be lighter on demands…

Count me in.

PPS I would also like to try and experience SRS at some point as well, perhaps on our own servers at first.

Great! 

I echo your last, think a few would benefit froma reminder of how to best utilise it. For what we do in the Dogz, it's not that pertinent but almost all other MP server utilise it so being able to use it will help you should you want to see what the grass is like in the wider DCS multiplayer universe.

It is a great piece of tech and having used it exclusively for comms with CVW-17, once you have it suitcased it's a very reliable and useful tool and is very immersive.

Hi all,

I suggested t'other night the possibility of investigating Grayflag server.

To provide some further info, Grayflag is brought to you by Graywo1f (voice of JesterAI) and Grimes (core-engine-development-via-DCS-Scripting and curator of SLmod and MIST).

Grayflag is a hardcore persistent multiplayer Coop campaign, with campaigns available on Syria, Persian Gulf and Mariannas maps.

Experience a moving front line as BLUEFOR have a number of progessive objectives to capture across each map.  The enemy (AI) forces will attempt to resupply and reinforce their positions and even launch counter offensives, as players attempt to push the front line farther into enemy territory.

As you and your teammates set up BLUEFOR ground units to invade/capture objectives or defend with CTLD troops/vehicles, you won't have to worry about them disappearing after a server restart or crash! Their position will be saved when the server restarts and you log back into this persistent battlefield.

Grayflag is a player driven campaign in an open ended sandbox. You and your friends will fight how you want to fight to complete the objectives while utilizing your own tactics and mission planning to strike targets across the entire map. The enemy will do its best to react to the changing battlefield as you and your friends complete taskings/objectives. This mission features the Combined Arms module by allowing the player to bring whatever they want to the fight. Have a few player helicopters bring you a mortar squad next to an objective? Want a friendly SAM network set up to cover an area? Go for it, and it will all save in the mission state.

DCS Mirage F1 by Aerges

Optical Sight improvements and fixes:

• The Optical Sight target symbol doesn’t disappear anymore when it is near its movement limits.
• The Optical Sight attitude reticle displayed part is limited now by ~75 degrees of total angle in pitch (it is the physical display limit of the pitch ribbon).
• Optical Sight 'Normal' and 'Simplified' attitude scales are implemented on a single ribbon now, with a visible animation when the scale type is changed.
• Implemented animated transition between the 'radar command bar' and the 'gun firing reticle' symbols. These symbols are physically placed on the same reticle ('Moving reticle').

Other systems fixes:

• Fixed IDN mode switch initial position in F1EE: The animation position didn't match the internal value, so the indicator moves now correctly after selecting the first mode switch position.
• Added timer to weight on wheels sensors to avoid the antislip kicking in when the wheels were not yet fully in the air.
• Fixed an error in the VOR/ILS test - direction of the horizontal needle movement was inverted.
• Fixed Standby Horizon initialization pitch error at hot start.
• Fixed R550 timeout logic at missile station selection - now the 'hardwired' 34 seconds timeout (gyros spool up timeout by a timer relay) is applied only when the "Matra 550 or SW missile" switch is turned ON.
• Fixed the initialization of the mechanical clock hours hand when the aircraft start time is more than 12:00 PM.

3D model and textures:

• Adjusted spherical Indicator airplane symbol.

Miscellaneous:

• Implemented mirrors position control by mouse axis, in addition to the existing clickable 'on/off' action.
• Cockpit mirrors now can be toggled On/Off by 'Toggle Mirrors' key.
• Fixed left mirror, it doesn't freeze anymore at certain view angles.

Training missions:

• Updated startup training mission: Highlighted NWS high sensitivity button. Specified that the "I" key on the keyboard sets the throttle to idle.
• Updated the taxi, takeoff and climb training mission: Added the need to press the U + V pushbutton in the radio selector unit. Improved the TACAN in T/R mode trigger, no need to reset the T/R position.
• Landing training mission minor fixes.
• Updated ground attack training missions: The sight is set in NORMAL mode instead of APP mode. Modified sight depression figures.
• Added Sinai missions (Quick Start and Single Player for both Mirage F1CE and Mirage F1EE).

I'm getting an odd four pitch background noise in the A.  Annoying as all get-out.  I've isolated it to the left TF-30.  When I shut down the left engine, the noise seems to go away. 

Any idea what it is?

That's odd.

Will check it out and get back to you....

Mission: Artillery Strike

Result: 

The squadron proceeded to target area. As we approached the frontline but still someways from it, Red 1 sighted a bandit crossing his nose, slightly below, going North to South. ID'd as a 109. Squadron engaged with Red trying to draw bandits attention whilst White flight took him down. After much swirling Red 3 managed to damage the e/a when White 1 managed to saddle up and dispatched the bandit with a well aimed burst to the cockpit.

Squadron regrouped and continued to target area where as the target was sighted, though partially obscured by cloud. As Red 1 commenced a diving turn to Port to try and setup an attack run unencumbered by the cloud cover, Red 2 spotted a pair of bogeys to the East. Red flight set up their attack run as White flight attempted to move to intercept and ID the bogeys, which turned out to be 109s. The e/a avoided the intercept and bore in on Red flight.

Red flight made a succuessful attack run, destroying many field guns and AAA. However, Red 1 was attacked by e/a coming off target, he was wounded and set on fire, managing to just cross the river and over friendly lines before bailing out. White 2 was damaged by flak but both the e/a were dispatched by Red 3 and White 1 respectively.

The remainder of the squadron flew North to a secondary Fortification target where 2 further aircraft were observed covering the taget area. These turned out to be Me 262, White 1 flaming one in a fantastic high angle deflection shot, and the other being heavily damaged by White 2 and last seen leaving the area at high speed venting fluids.

Unfortunately Red 3 was hit by intense light flak during his attack run, and he too was only able to nurse his bird back to friendly lines before he was obliged to bail out. Red 4 was lost trying to neutralise the AAA guns, his aircaft seen to explode almost on top of a light flak gun site he had been attacking.

White 2, having suffered damage force landed at a friendly airfield, and White 1 and Red 2 retuned to base, Red 2 also having recieved some light damage to his aircraft.

 

3 friendly aircraft destroyed (2 pilots recovered safely by parachute, 1 KIA), 1 friendly aircraft force landed damaged near Cologne, 1 further friendly aircrafy landed at base damaged.
