Air Refueling -

Texaco - 10X, 30FM.

I was on yesterday and tried to practice refueling. Locating the tanker on TACAN 10X was working, but I could get no response whatsoever on 30.000 MHz FM.

Did you try to contact him by opening the VHF FM com menu or the regular intercom menu?

Easy communications is disabled, and therefore you have to use the correct radio when communicating.

As far as I can tell, I did use the correct radio (in the A-10C), set it correctly, had it turned on, and checked as many things I could think of. Then again, this would have been my first ever attempt at refueling, so I can't be sure that I didn't do anything wrong.

Check the controls, I think the key for opening the VHF FM is -

Left Shift + -(keypad)

or something like that.

Hi

Just tried a refueling in an A-10C and I had a bit of a problem. The tanker occasionally zig-zagged at very high speed across the screen, disappearing for a few seconds. Every couple or minutes or so it happened. As I continued on and connected with the tanker, it happened again. For a few seconds the tanker vanished, as it returned i was right on it and there was a collision sound damaging my plane. Radios work ok though Luzifer.

Any ideas whats happening here?

That sounds like a connection problem.

Did you test to see if it is happening on other servers?

I just tried again, all was well, except for my piloting skills. Couldn't connect with tanker! Looks like it was a connection problem. I eventually got a server time out message.

These connection issues might be because someone else is using the Internet or maybe a P2P program is opened in the background such as torrents or emule etc..

Also, please make sure in the multiplayer options you configured LAN, it is known to solve some issues.

Might join Thursday morning. If not, Sunday morning. Cheers

Hey, same WildBill from WBs?

I'd be honored, that's where I started online sims :)

Nah, different person.

UPDATE:

The Israeli DCS Server has been updated to 1.2.4.

Currently we are only running the full scale training mission which has been adjusted to include some of the new features of 1.2.4 -

1. UH-1H has been added to the red side for your free flight and navigation enjoyment.
    
   
2. UH-1H has been added to the blue side for ground attack runs on the training course of the KA-50.
    
   
3. AI FW-190D9 has been added to the blue side in the P-51 dogfighting zone.
   There is a formation of 2 CAPing the area between Sukhumi and Gudauta, the formation will always be respawned after it has been destroyed or have rtbed. (Thanks to the new addgroup feature :))
    
   
4. P-51D dueling areas have been added -
   P-51D - Duel 1-1 vs P-51D - Duel 1-2
   P-51D - Duel 2-1 vs P-51D - Duel 2-2
   

I would be happy to get any feedback for fixes or improvments about this training mission as I see it is very popular.

Have fun :)

There is a issues with the hueys on the red side. When one Huey spawned allready on the farp and a second one spawn, the second one spawn directly into the other one.

Greets Razorblade

Thanks for bringing this up, I'll look into fixing it as soon as possible.

:thumbup: no problem

Fixed for the red side. spawning points are not in the FARP any longer as it is buggy for the UH-1H.

Unfortunetly for the blue side the only takeoff spot is a FARP so at the moment it is still problematic until I find work around.

What problems are you having with the FARP as I had them with Hueys for our server, sadly they seem to effect some people FPS so I had to remove them but they worked ok while they were there

The spawning location is not on the helipads, I'm still testing what's doing it.

ah ok, Well must be something local as when I did they spawned ok :)

The problem with the Huey is if you set it to "Start from Runway" in the FARP it will not be spawned correctly.

Setting to "Start from Parking Hot" fixed it.
