DCS Flight Nights

Herr-Berbunch · 04-20-11, 11:04 AM

I'm out for the evening on Thursday

But will hopefully have BS by next Wed's session - although I'll be the one sat on the ground aimlessly clicking buttons trying to make it go.

Edit: may be back in time, unless we come home via the pub!

Traitors!

Right, so, we were wanting a mission this time, right? I'll start one that Hunter send me, and Dowly linked me to a pack as well, so we have some options. I'll start that training mission in a minute so people can practice if they want, switch it over to a proper mission once we get everyone together.

Jesus Humvee on patrol.

First some practice:

You know what the remarkable thing is? Nothing ever fired on me.

Was trying to hover right above Dowly and lower my gear into his rotors. Obviously, he gave the collective a yank when I got into position, and there you go.

And then on to serious business:

Dowly dances with a speedboat.

Passing Task Force while RTB.

Got shot up by some light armor. Navigation out, main hydraulics failing and right engine damaged. Jettisoned what I could and made my landing without the autopilot channels... quite twitchy.

Arclight and I at the first bridge in mission #2 of the evening.

^love it. That's a scene you won't get flying with AI.

Aaalrighty, hosting A-10C. Feel free to get your practice on, no pressure, just have some fun. I'll help out as much as I can, but I don't know keyboard commands, mapped everything I need to hotas and the rest I just flick in the cockpit.
