OPERATION SUMMER RAIN - MULTIPLAYER DYNAMIC CAMPAIGN

Is it possible to have all the modules to be cold started? ie. A10C pilots often have their own checklist/flow to start-up the plane and the hot plane might not have all the switches in right places. Such as HUD setup.

Yes it should be like this. More on the final details that we will announce asap.

Great! :)

On the other note: we didn't experience any lag, which was nice.

yes with that amount of planes flying I did not experience and lag.. :thumbup:

was hiccups but nothing major.:thumbup:

Mastiff complaint is good one. The smoke script does not always work. But you can still pickup the troops if you land near the barracks and radio tower. I apologize to the huey pilots for not giving you a proper brief and where to pick troops. The waypoints did get edited and I am not 100% sure if they lined up with the pick up zone.

I will be prepared for the real campaign to make sure the huey pilots understand clearly where to fly from - pickup and drop troops.

There as a complaint that some warehouses could not destroyed at Sochi - Greg assured me they would be destroyed based on last mission results - Perhaps the pilots bombed a burnt out warehouse?

Any clarity on this issues would be much appreciated for our admins.

Hey the bombs that are effective to the warehouses as they are ammo depots are the GBU-31 & 10. Also the heavy penetrated Russian bombs.

The others won't harm them :)

This is not entirely correct, the smoke script works with no issues.

We have tested it and there hasn't been a problem.

My guess is that the wrong loading zone smoke was requested.

Let's finish this saga here, as this was a test run, there were some features that have not been done to the full extent, such as a briefing and waypoints.

In the official campaign, each squad would be responsible for itself.

Thank you for the feedback Mastiff and BigGinger.

It was a great time, had a blast..... can't wait for the real deal. It keeps getting better.

Stiff, you could get lost in your bathroom LOL!

P.S. For all the pilots who participated if you have any feedback (good/bad) it would be great to address them to the people setting up the campaign or please feel free to use the ANON6 forums.

This is a copy-paste from Anon6, About OSR page:

"AIR TO AIR WAR

In order to provide more intensive air to air fights it is decided to use only the following air to air missiles during the campaign. Available Air to Air Missiles : R-60M / R-73 / AIM-9M / AIM-9P / AIM-7 / R-27R"

As we have demonstrated in the sunday test mission, R-60M can't hit accurately, doesn't have even AIM-9M range and that is a pity, because MiG is useless that way, I mean, F-15Cs just swipe us away from the sky. If F-15Cs get to carry sparrows, then MiG-21s just got to have R-3R (weaker and less maneuverable than AIM-7s), R-3S and R-13 (both - about the same characteristics as AIM-9 I think) rockets to even try to battle any other fighter out there...

And MiG-21Bis is just too damn good of a module to be degraded like this...! :joystick:

Can something be done about this?

Greg?:thumbsup:

Pick on the A-10's :P J/king I have so many problems with the AIM-7 myself. Most of my kills are due to the AIM-9 if I can get close enough :)

They are available and they were also in the test runs.The SOP has just to be updated as the MiG was not out yet when the SOP was published. :smilewink:

The MiG-21bis is available for both sides, so this really isn't an issue.

The blue MiG 21s will be "swiped away" by Su-27s armed with off-boresite capable R-73s just as easily (if not more) then what you explain that the F-15C can do it.

But ofcourse I am all for having the full air to air arsenal that is available in the MiG 21 module, including the semi-active radar guided missiles.

S!

Not even R-27T ?

Not even R-27T ?

Nope.It's been like this in the previous events also which worked nicely. :smilewink:

Thanks to everyone for joining last night.

The amazing amount of participants that showed up for Mission 1 was overwhelming! more than 70 people :thumbup:

STATS - http://89.163.173.82/DCS/SR/sr_m1_23_10.php

Because this was the first mission, there were some problems initiating the mission.

After around 30 minutes of troubleshooting we found that the mission file has become corrupted due to the fact that the mission was going through the mission planner which has generated an issue with the mission file.

After troubleshooting the issue, we went to an earlier revision of the mission and everything worked with 64 players.

Thanks again for everyone's patience at the start, see you soon on the next mission at Sunday 26/10.

Awesome! 64 players! WOW that was great! :thumbup:

We have found that if we exceed 64 players, other players start to get thrown off out of the server.

Therefore, we have limited the participation on each mission to 64 players, last mission we had a packed server with 64 players and everything ran smooth.

Including our last mission we have succesfully completed 6 missions so far.

Heading for the 7th on Thursday :)
