Capture... a bridge? - The bridge gots loads of guns. Artillery + AAA. Tanks? Why not? - Attackers need to take out them guns. - Defenders must stop them... and maybe ... try and bomb their own bridge ... depending on success of attackers

New attempt at running two DCS dedicated server sessions/missions on our server, both are running stable version: One is closed, one is open. The open one is running a generic mission, not specifically a good DF one - but there will be one, some day soon. The way I did it this time, is to have a secondary user logged on to the server - as one can have two logged on at the same time. Besides DCS twice, CloD is now also running the Tobruk mission and the BoB missions on the same server, the same way. This all should save me from having to run a separate little server at home so... that's the positive thing about it. Whether our own server will be able to handle it, remains to be seen.

Our DCS server has been updated!

Thanks Tom! It has shown somebody else can do your job where it concerns clicking them buttons ... But writing this all up the way you do? ... Nope. Never.. Ever... Thanks so much!

Cools... Found it, changed it.. so, we are good to go!

Took a look at PWCG, first page when preparing a new mission shows: Now, someone could play Fenton Rea instead. Or let AI fly ... but no. Better to postpone ... If we keep the current scheme, next one would be on Tuesday 13th of October.

This might confuse the heck out of some of the Cliffs of Dover players - not many though, 'cos there aren't that many left! I GOTS THE POWER!

US-Eastern I picked up from the chats ...

And if you delete the one in your local folder, and then run ChkSkins, you will get the new one.

402nd back home... nearly complete ...

Server now running 4.501 Unfortunately, we have lost some of the GoodCoops missions - there are only four left at the moment. Sure, will start saving them again, but this time we should only put missions in that have the original .mission file, as with bigger updates (like 4.501 is) the .msbin can no longer be loaded... Oh well... Looks like I found a workaround for this...

Great idea, but I think PWCG will not have such an option built in - it would mess up current results for sure - should one be able to re-run it through PWCG then probably air kills will be counted yet again - as well as ground stuff kills that had been registered the first time ... though that may not be a bad thing ... And now for the manual way: Read log files and retrieve the kills that way. Sounds good in theory, until you find like 165 log files for one mission, and I took this small bit out of one log file just to show it's really not doable: T:0 AType:15 VER:17 T:173873 AType:12 ID:1402880 TYPE:M16 Half-track AAA gun COUNTRY:103 NAME:m16 PID:-1 POS(111287.6875,136.1675,184716.0625) T:173873 AType:3 AID:-1 TID:1402880 POS(111287.6875,136.1675,184716.0625) T:173968 AType:12 ID:1393664 TYPE:M16 Half-track AAA gun COUNTRY:103 NAME:m16 PID:-1 POS(111287.6719,135.9392,184705.2813) T:173968 AType:3 AID:-1 TID:1393664 POS(111287.6719,135.9392,184705.2813) T:174142 AType:12 ID:8192 TYPE:BlocksArray COUNTRY:103 NAME:BlocksArray PID:-1 POS(0.0000,0.0000,0.0000) T:174142 AType:1 AMMO:explosion AID:8196 TID:8192 T:174142 AType:12 ID:726016 TYPE:Flak 38 COUNTRY:201 NAME:flak38 PID:-1 POS(82003.2578,503.8732,200700.9844) T:174142 AType:1 AMMO:explosion AID:8196 TID:726016 T:174143 AType:2 DMG:0.0899 AID:8196 TID:726016 POS(82003.2578,503.8732,200700.9844) T:174143 AType:12 ID:8192 TYPE:art_position_small[47891,0] COUNTRY:103 NAME:BlocksArray PID:-1 POS(0.0000,0.0000,0.0000) T:174143 AType:1 AMMO:BULLET_USA_12-7x99_AP AID:8196 TID:8192 T:174146 AType:12 ID:8192 TYPE:BlocksArray COUNTRY:103 NAME:BlocksArray PID:-1 POS(0.0000,0.0000,0.0000) T:174146 AType:1 AMMO:explosion AID:8196 TID:8192 T:174146 AType:1 AMMO:explosion AID:8196 TID:726016 T:174147 AType:12 ID:8192 TYPE:art_position_small[47891,0] COUNTRY:201 NAME:BlocksArray PID:-1 POS(0.0000,0.0000,0.0000) T:174147 AType:2 DMG:0.0010 AID:8196 TID:8192 POS(82003.2578,503.8732,200700.9844) T:174147 AType:2 DMG:0.1007 AID:8196 TID:726016 POS(82003.2578,503.8732,200700.9844) T:174153 AType:12 ID:8192 TYPE:art_position_small[47891,1] COUNTRY:201 NAME:BlocksArray PID:-1 POS(0.0000,0.0000,0.0000) T:174153 AType:1 AMMO:BULLET_USA_12-7x99_AP AID:8196 TID:8192 T:174153 AType:12 ID:8192 TYPE:BlocksArray COUNTRY:201 NAME:BlocksArray PID:-1 POS(0.0000,0.0000,0.0000) Or maybe ... well, Fen's got a proper good brain that he knows how to use properly ... so ... who knows? Yeah, a lot of this are just assumptions... but given the circumstances and complexity ... checking the names and spaces will do fine!

Me thinks you need to do some more database checking on them trailing spaces Tom ... there are more pilots that have flown multiple missions, like Dennis, with Zero ground kills. Funflak as well... might be worth looking into!

Cools! Good show all! Goes to show we all should be aware of peculiarities during this campaign - and report them in debrief - or rather here in the thread like Chris did... It could be nothing as in a quirk in the game, or an observational error - it could be something else that is fixable!

Indeed, screen shot: z

you can safely limit this to "485th flyers" ... or maybe 485th "flyers"

If the nose wheel bounces, do not go stick forward! Try and let it settle down all by itself.

Welcome back Kimo!

About collisions: Stay in pairs and focused on communication - leader should properly coordinate ... And what Fen said: Very often I find myself thinkin' : "Mission objective complete, lets go home! " but still it takes a while to get there, because distractions and diversions and stuff and I'm like "oh dear, NO!" especially when I am supposed to be leading the gang .... Yeah, scared stiff regularly - not only for my persona as such, but for all of us - just hate it to find one of us not comin' home..

Sure! I'll be there!

Tried it, initial look seems positive... but need to fliegen a bit more. And for sure, I am going to forget and thus regret the fact I put that Startup.cfg on Read-Only! Thanks!

Just deleted some 30 skin files where their names ended with (1) or (2)... Duplicates! Please be careful when downloading skins and saving them... Usually, when your browser downloads a file that already exists, it will automatically name it adding (1) to it. Or (2) if (1) already existed... So, it will not ask you to overwrite!
