Open Conflict - Server Information

Is it possible to display coordinates for a specific ground unit? The command -ag codeName only display the coordinates of a group of targets. This doesn't allow precise INS bombing.

 

Second question, would you add buddy laser targeting in the incoming server?

Are you talking about JTAC? Would love to have those aswell sometimes. Maybe one thing to add for a helo to carry in the future.

Hello Mirknir! I love the server, and especially the starting time change.

I think there's something wrong with the MIH mission: -ag MIH says when I took this screenshot, there were two tanker ships still waiting to be destroyed. But they aren't there.

Point taken. I do love flying helo, I have all of them. Something I noticed you've got no point in score board for a successful delivering stuff or rescueing. Not that really matter to me but giving a reward would be an awesome thing and encouraging.

One more thing, for Hip or Huey to be able to setting up SAM could help to reduce the airquake little bit like in Blue Flag or 104th server :D

I've been asking this since the beginning! :)

Yeah it's rough flying a heli into enemy territory to attack. I love flying my Ka50 but I stick to the PVE areas with it, too many instances of death from above, no warning, after a long flight. It's frustrating, but I don't know what can be done about it.

b) Did you think about putting NAV-Point 1 to the Bullseye?

Due to the sandbox style of mission, putting waypoints to aircraft can be tricky ; plus there are like 300 playable aircrafts :helpsmilie:

That's true! But on the other hand, all (fighter) on each side have a reference point.

Hi Mirknir,

the conversation above is ~ 1year ago. What do you think to put WP1 for BE now? For the M-2000C you can enter BE to WP in mission editor (additional properties for aircraft).

At rush our the regular M-2000C slots are full. What do you think to put more slots for this beautiful aircraft?

And is it possible to reduce tacview playback delay to 5min?

Just go 2-3 pages back to see that discussion.

So, I took up a Black Shark the other night on Open Conflict Server. I was snooping steadily along the coast toward enemy positions. I stopped briefly behind a hill so I could check my ABRIS and ensure I was in the right place.

Satisfied with my location, I slowly poked over the hill and surveyed the area with my Shkval sensor suite. While head down, I heard Betty say, "Warning, under attack." Looking up, I see the laser indicator on my Shark is showing an airborne laser and it is from the front. I had a few moments to stare dumbly at the indicator mouthing "What the ****?" before a GBU-12 removed my Black Shark from the map.

It turns out an A-10C had dropped a bomb and guided it into my helicopter with his targeting pod.

10/10 would get bombed in a helicopter again.

Edit: I have to clarify that I absolutely LOVED that. I laughed heartily for a good 30 seconds when I saw the notification come across.

Also to respond to the earlier poster who lamented taking up helos into the combat area, there are a few ways to keep yourself safer. Firstly, you can try and fly nap of the earth as much as possible. Secondly, keep an ear out on the AWACS channel to see when things are moving around near you. Finally, despite those two suggestions, you still will be shot down. That's just the nature of the beast when flying a slow moving helicopter. Don't let it frustrate you too much. If you really want to get even though, take up a Mistral Gazelle and "surprise" them.

LOL

Yea since the last patch something went wrong,

I ll investigate.

 

Edit: something was broken in ships performance last patch.

90% of the ships in the map have been removed to decrease the lag on the server :(

Yep, Red Side helicopters delivery MOS and CAR are down :(

Still Great Fun, Thanks!

As it stands, I don't know that the F5E can even talk to the awacs...its radio frequencies won't go low enough.

F5 can definitely talk to AWACS. AWACS frequency is 124.000 and to tune to that you actually have to turn your main radio to T24000, because for whatever reason T=1 on the F5 main radio (below the radar). Hope that helps :thumbup:

Just go 2-3 pages back to see that discussion.

thx!

[...]But of course I'm not asking such a request since it would be as stupid as forcing the M2000 to make a full realignment at every respawns. It takes 8 minutes for a full alignment in M2000. FC3 aircrafts doesn't have such an issue [...]

When I fly the M-2000C, I'm using a class 4 alignment (needs 4min). Because I need my right heading to understand bogey dopes from AWACS. But I see a lot of pilots flying without alignment, they need to add XX° to their heading to interpret the AWACS call or using the emergency compass for interpretation.

to reduce airquake, you may move ( and add ) some m-2000 and Fc3 slots to an other airfield where they would only be able to load AG and self defence Air to Air weapons.

Yes refuelling, rearming and starting up can all be done at the sametime in the M2k but refuel takes longer than start up.

I saw this on BlueFlag-Server: to reduce airquake by lone wolfes you need to refuel your aircraft - this was a pretty good idea I thought!

When I fly online with my mates, we wait for each other (class 4 alignment, reload, checklist).

Another idea is to not allow external tank - you can't fly all the distance with full AB. To stay longer in the air you need A2A-reflueling.

I have a question about this server. Sometimes I see the message "Open Conflict will reset in 2h" Does this mean that everything resets totally? Because I did some AG mission to kill tanks and tomorrow they were there just like I didn't kill them at all.

I try to understand if this is progressing server based on previous situation and actions, or is it "come and have fun and everything then resets"?

It is come and have fun and then everything goes back how it was before you did anything. Its good for practice.

If you want progression on mp mission you need to fly on “dynamic campaign” like 16AGR server, blueflag or Kaukasus offensive. All 3 mentioned have live web map page and player statistica and stuff, where you can see what is happening on server even when you are not inside.

I am not sure I get what you would like.

What would allow precise INS Bombing?

What do you mean by 'adding buddy laser'? I am pretty sure people already do that.

In the recent patches, I've noticed more bugs about ships while the ship performance problem didn't get fixed.

I will have to update some of the OC objectives.

I have to admit that ED doesn't make it easy to host a server on DCS.

I wish the updates wouldn't create so much problems each time ; it's eroding my motivation :helpsmilie:

Would it be possible to add a bit of cloud (I think 5/10 in the editor) with some light rain? Been a while since we've had a wet conflict zone

Speaking of problems, the overcast that I liked to use is still broke and fugly since like 3 or 4 patches ; that's why it's kinda always sunny.

I ll see what I can do with a bit a cloud but they, too, are bugged and will disappear when you move your camera around the map by, for example, pressing F2 and watching other planes.

I'll try to do some maintenance and push a updated version of the map tonight if I still have the will to live :)

I think OC is the most stable server right now (without noticable lagging and no crashing). Its already great. That`s why the server most of the time always full of players I guess. Please don`t make any changes that could make server unstable. I know you`re good at this, just sayin...

Thank alot Mirknir ;)

Maintenance done /pray

In Masterscript: Skynet v3.5.9

Duel Slots

• Player in Duel Slots wandering too far from duel area will be sent back to spectator
  
• This will avoid duel slots to be used in Conflict Zone
  

Gazelle

• All Gazelles have now 2 passenger slots to be able to do capture missions
  

In Map: Open Conflict Tuapse - v3.6.8

Last patch introduced more problems with ships:

They now attack other static ships @ very long range meaning I had to remove them.

Sea Rescue Ships

• Removed completely because of the new bug
  
• Carriers are now firing on the static ships used to receive the down pilots :(
  

Oil Field Objectives

• Replaced all target static ships with more oil platforms
  
• Carriers are now also firing on cargo ships cleaning these objectives in no time
  

Su33

• Rename Fleet Slots to proper reflect that they are now ground slots
  
• Ship performance is still mega broken so I can't add more carriers in the map, will see next patches
  

Fighter Slots

• Removed some fighter slots
  
• I know it will not be a popular decision but I want to try making more gameplay space for other roles then air superiority.
  

Ground Defenses

• SAM presence has been increased overall in map for installations and for convoys
  
• Be careful when plotting your routes
  
• Escort your SEAD / Strikers buddies
  

Weather

• Winter Time
  
• Around 1h to 1h30 night time before sunrise (prepare your NVG)

Thanks for the vote of confidence but when it comes to stability, I can't do that much except find the problematic content, remove it and wait until it's fixed :(

It just takes so much time to just have OC not completely broken with all the new problems patches generates recently, I hardly have time in my OC dev time to work on the new stuff I wanna do.

It was just a bad day ; I am going to sleep :pilotfly:

Your doing great work on this server Mirknir. Personally I have not been on the server much as it’s always full. I am glad you are taking the necessary steps to prevent this server from turning into another air quake server. Some won’t like it, but they can go to those servers if they want that. Thanks again for all the work you do for the community.

Thanks for the great effort keep on going!

I know it can be frustrating working on such a complex mission later to be broken by some patch, but remember you make a lot of pilots happy! thanks!

Frequent server crashes these past few days. What can we do to help?

Played for a 5 hour rotation today no crash

Perhaps just some random wonkyness?

Quelle dommage d'avoir réduit le nombre de slot du M2000.

Le serveur était top, offrait de super dogfight, la on reviens sur du classique fox3 tiré sans aucun risque pour le pilote..., dommage.

La preuve que les gens le demande, il était tous pris a chaque fois.

Dommage de pas écouter les joueurs mais juste 2-3 personnes.

Sinon y a un petit bug depuis la maj le m2000, son altimètre freeze, et on a des erreurs de 5000pieds.

Sinon chapeau bas pour la qualité du serveur, faut le souligner, vivement une augmentation général du nombre de slot, c'est la guerre pour le rejoindre le soir :)

Traduit en anglais:

What a shame to have decreased the number of m2000 slots.

The server was great, offered great dogfight, but we have come back to the usual Fox-3 fired without any risk taking for the shooter, it is quite unfortunate...

The fact that most of the time all m2000 slots were taken is proof that people really want to fly it.

It is unfortunate that you only listen to 2-3 persons instead of the whole player base.

Still, I admire the great quality of this server. An increase in the number of player slots would be welcome, it is quite a challenge to connect to the server in the evening

No, it just crashed again right now. Quite frustrating.
