Basically a ramp start, take-off, low-level scenic flight and a landing. I'll set up basic firing ranges at both the start and end locations, so people who just want to mess around a bit before or after can head over there.

I'm thinking about only setting up the flight lead with a flightplan, so wingmen will have to practice their navigation and formation flying. (not expecting tight formation, just keep in contact with flight lead)

You don't have to be familiar with the weapons deployment, but of course a decent understanding of flying it is desireable. For example, if we fly the Ka-50 over a mountain ridge, it's a good thing to know where the anti-icing switch is at. Also, you don't have to be familiar with airport procedures. For example, if you want to do a rolling take-off and a landing from hover, then that's up to you. Not going to force anyone to stick to exact procedure.

Both TeamSpeak2 and TeamSpeak3 servers are available.

I would suggest Wednesday or Thursday nights, perhaps both if there's enough interest. Could do Ka-50 one night and A-10C the next.

Anyone interested?

I'm in....:salute: PM me

I'll host A-10C tonight, Ka-50 went well enough last night. Just need to prepare something. :hmmm:

Looks good, I'll be the smoking tangle of metal just off the runway!

Had a quick go of the tutorials yesterday and learnt that you can take off with the canopy open - when I say open, it detaches half-way down the runway. Flight envelope unaffected :yeah:

Alrighty, here's the deal for the A-10C:

blue for friendly airbase
red for targetzone
green for free-fire zone
the black bit... well, that's a Tor battery. Don't stray to the W from the targetzone and you'll be fine. Just a little something to make you think about ingress and egress points.

Weather is pretty much the same as for the Ka-50 setup.

Well that was a laugh!

Wish TS had been better for me. Found the screenshots, they're in a user's saved game folder like SH3 does :damn:

Here's a few for you.

Arclight just landed as we're holding.

Maybe have a look at what devices are set for input and output. Maybe set a push-to-talk key to make sure it's not the open-mic that messing up. Server is ussually online, so you can test to your hearts content.

Yes. Yes, I did.

More like "Raptor engages in wildly confusing maneuvers while failing to form up".

A-10, drift racing variant.

We had a nice take-off in close formation on the 2nd sortie, but the track goes haywire if you watch PGM being released from external view (only for your aircraft though, other clients are fine. Speeding up time might help to screw it up. Anyway). Managed to grab those before that, but missing some really good stuff.

Yeah, speeding up the track might cause it go out of sync. It's kinda like in Silent Hunter; too large TC and stuff fails to keep up.

Task Force and I played a DCS:BS combat mission yesterday which is quite good.

it's called Pandora's Box but the mission is in Spanish, I'll try to translate the best I can and send it to you Arc.

thought there's a minor issue with spawning it seems you can't spawn more then 1 Kamov on the same carrier unless you want to have instant KABLOOIE!

so one has to wait spawning untill the other has taken off.
is that fixable?

anyway the mission has 2 objectives,

Main Objective is a small port with some ships and soft ground targets, the secondary is search & destroy a enemy Farp
enemy air targets to be expected thought.

If there's an airfield nearby, one option would be to just move the take off point there. Should be a simple click & drag job. :hmmm:

But yeah, would be nice to try something different for a chance. :O:

I think this mission would be excellent to try to fly in couples of 2 (leader & wingmen) and see if we can coordinate with the rest to attack an objective from multiple locations.

I'm out for the evening on Thursday :nope: 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!

Unable to join tonight.

Traitors! :O:

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.

First some practice:

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

http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/j...enShot_004.jpg
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:

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.

Dowly

04-21-11 05:01 AM

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