P-51D Server Bulletins

The DCS Israel server that xcom setup is well setup to handle different P51 requirements (as well as all other planes). There's a freefly area where P51s spawn with no weapons, a dogfight area for player P51s versus a pair of AI FW190-D9s, a ground attack area and also a PVP for P51 vs P51 match-ups. Server settings seem to be full realism as far as I can see. Don't know what the ping would be like for non-Euro players but I'm in Ireland and it's usually about ~60 ping for me.

So that would be...

1. DCS Israel Server

2. Time?

3. Duration?

4. Full Realism

5. Mixed Mission

...to make sure we have at least the essential items.

I downloaded the origional Stang Bang but after a few requests still couldnt work out where it went

Hey Taffy - wrote the original Stang bang mission and just updated it. If you need to know where it goes its not too hard.

As it is a multiplayer PvP mission, I recommend placing it here:

C:\Users\XXXX\Saved Games\DCS\Missions where XXXX= your windows username.

Then you can access it either through the mission editor or host a MP session by starting a server and launching it through that.

Hope this helps.

Ok Gents,

I have a dedicated machine running a very simple A2A mission.

Will stay running with minor interruptions to tweak it a little here and there.

Enjoy!

1. Merlin's COMBAT SERVER

2. Running now

3. 24/7

4. Full Realism Settings

5. Mission Type (A2A-Co, A2A-Vs)

Info: 6 Client positions per side (Air Start) plus some random AI to interfere a little.

EDIT: If you have the Bare Metal skin you should see that for the RED side P-51, if not you will see the default green skinned US paint for Germany. Anxiously awaiting the flyable replacement for those spots.

Thankyou Dooom

Merlin been on the server runs well

Will test this tonight! Thanks :thumbup:

Think I might have been on this before and it was well done.

Thanks, Taffy. I am open to suggestions for the mission if you come up with anything.

Will test this tonight! Thanks

Yessir. Saw your name on the server log when I glanced at it. Thanks and feel free to send requests for content. Keep in mind it's a WIP. I'm trying to come up with stuff that could be easily interpreted as WW2-esque. Any 3D modelers out there making ground units? That would really make this amazing.

I am messing around with WW2 units... slowly... this picture is a little old... but fun none the less :)

Dude! Very cool. I'd hate to see the range data for that big mofo. lol

We shall call it The SuperMega-Flugzeugabwehrkanone

Awesome work... please keep it up. Any progress on the flak project?

RE-posting for changes.

New Stuff: Air support event at bridge crossing near spawn point. Assist blue forces in eliminating the red armor preventing the crossing.

Until they start shooting back....

@Merlin-27, Thanks dude I'll jump on it tonight one question I can hear the comm's for other pilots on my side can they hear my comm's? I can hear all there I really like this makes you feel like a real team and let others know what's happening.

Glad to hear it. I'm trying for a very immersive experience. Unless you are on TS you are only hearing the AI comms. I've incorporated some custom audio too... you just have to trigger it :smilewink: As far as human comms, we can hook you up with some Teamspeak access.

Thanks mate. :thumbup:

I will look for these servers...sounds like some good fun...Is the TS3 address in the Server Description?

TS Details sent

"Peregrine Haunt: Shades of Raptors"

Going up now.

Duration depends on how long there are people flying in the server--generally, I leave it up until the last person leaves.

Max realism

Simple dogfight mission--two very close airfields, ground start. May change to air-start duelling mission if requested.

Managed to make it on today and had some fun with you guys...Next time I will hit TS3 too...Server ran fine...I even had a kill...Merlin I sent you a link to a couple of missions at our site if you are interested.

Hi Merlin,

I was flying on your server last night (European time) but (un)fortunately was on my own. :joystick: Reason was that I just got a 'new' stick from ebay, an MS FFB2. Great stick and much better than what I'd had before, but perhaps lucky for me I didn't encounter any opponent because it's all quite new.

Looking forward to flying together soon!

just found this thread, looking forward to the next gig

Awesome, glad you enjoyed it! That one pair of AI 190's seemed to be a bit more challenging than I've seen before and we needed the extra help to finally knock them all down. :thumbup:

Thanks for the files. I will check them out.

We definitely saw some lag when a few people were firing at the same time last night but I'm not sure there is much we can do for that right now.

Sorry I missed ya, Mac. The map may have been "used up" by that point, I will make sure we have some opponents for you and the new flight stick next time. :) I'm also going to make an informative briefing map and attempt a kneeboard to help direct people to the AI action if there are no other clients flying on the server.

just found this thread, looking forward to the next gig

Excellent!

I really hope pman go's for a second server for combat and sets it up like this as it's great

Yeah I was rolling in a ground target when another guy was engaging in a different area and getting AAA, I had to ro;; out due to the choppy frame rates,,, the smoke was also a contributer for sure. Once ground targets were out and some AI's were rolling,, seemed a bit smoother. Still amazed though how those AI's out climb you when they are smoking white and black and you have a fresh plane!

I was in with Fakum, Merlin and 1 other, saw the ground attack in the distance while engaged with the 190s...Two 190s seemed to zero in on me and I was engaged with one of you guys in close quarters going after them over the top...that was pretty awesome...

I did not see any lag or FPS issues...but that could have been a different session after I left?
