greco.bernardi Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 It´s possible to have a pre D day mission or a D day mission? When Allies don´t have airfields on France yet. And Its possible to remove the amount fuel option to all players...i don´t think is realistic that someone can takeoff with less than 100% of fuel.

I do plan to test a "pre D-day" mission at some point. Requiring 100% fuel is not possible in DCS. In fact, it's not desirable either. We should not force P51s and P47s to carry 6 hours of fuel. That is not realistic at all. On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/philstylenz Storm of War WW2 server website: https://stormofwar.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know about a plan for a pre D-day. I understand...6 hours of fuel its a lot. Thanks! Edited December 27, 2020 by greco.bernardi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xvii-Dietrich Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Server updated: 3 missions added back into rotation (27th June, 28th June and 30th June 1944). Player count increased to 50 players to cope with demand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PitbullVicious Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Hey @philstyle, Is the take-off assistance on (by accident, perhaps) the (excellent) SoW server? I can see my Dora shifting its pedals during take-off without any input, and this doesn't happen during SP (and double checked before joining the server that the TO assistance is off in my game settings). According to this thread, it can be enabled / forced via server settings: Cheers! i9-9900K @ 5.1GHz | MSI Ventus 3X OC RTX3090 24GB | 64GB 3200MHz DDR4 | Asus ROG Strix Z390-E | Asus Xonar DGX 5.1 Sound Card | Virpil T50CM2 base w/ F/A-18C / A-10C / Virpil T50CM2 Grip | WinWing Super Taurus Throttle | MFG pedals | TekCreations Hornet UFC, Landing Panel, Right Console | WinWing Hornet Combat Ready Panel | Buddy Fox UFC | Foxx Mount | 3 x TM Cougar MFD | HP Reverb G2 | Wacom Intuos S (with VRK) | Honeycomb Alpha Yoke | Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS | CH Fighter Stick Pro & Throttle | MS Sidewinder 2 FFB | Track IR 5 | Oculus Rift CV1 善く戦う者は、まず勝つべからざるを為して、以て敵の勝つべきを待つ。 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to this thread, it can be enabled / forced via server settings: So, I've been through the server settings this morning. I see no reference to trimmer or auto trimmer in any of the config settings. The auto-rudders are enabled in module specific settings and there are no aircraft modules installed on the server. So it's not that either. The only remaining possibility is that somehow the auto-rudder or auto-trimmer is being inserted into the mission files themselves, rather than the server settings. It will take more time to work out what might be going on with this.

PitbullVicious Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 @philstyle Thanks for checking! I think it could be the mission file (as this seems to be possible according to the discussion linked above). Today in a different mission the TO assistance seemed to be off. Yesterday it was the June 10 Afternoon mission where I noticed this, so that might help to narrow it down a bit. i9-9900K @ 5.1GHz | MSI Ventus 3X OC RTX3090 24GB | 64GB 3200MHz DDR4 | Asus ROG Strix Z390-E | Asus Xonar DGX 5.1 Sound Card | Virpil T50CM2 base w/ F/A-18C / A-10C / Virpil T50CM2 Grip | WinWing Super Taurus Throttle | MFG pedals | TekCreations Hornet UFC, Landing Panel, Right Console | WinWing Hornet Combat Ready Panel | Buddy Fox UFC | Foxx Mount | 3 x TM Cougar MFD | HP Reverb G2 | Wacom Intuos S (with VRK) | Honeycomb Alpha Yoke | Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS | CH Fighter Stick Pro & Throttle | MS Sidewinder 2 FFB | Track IR 5 | Oculus Rift CV1 善く戦う者は、まず勝つべからざるを為して、以て敵の勝つべきを待つ。 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PitbullVicious Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Oh, and @philstyle, one more request: Would it be possible to get a sound notification (ping or something) associated with the radar contact report. I've noticed that they are easy to miss while on VR and looking for contacts, as they are not centred on the screen. i9-9900K @ 5.1GHz | MSI Ventus 3X OC RTX3090 24GB | 64GB 3200MHz DDR4 | Asus ROG Strix Z390-E | Asus Xonar DGX 5.1 Sound Card | Virpil T50CM2 base w/ F/A-18C / A-10C / Virpil T50CM2 Grip | WinWing Super Taurus Throttle | MFG pedals | TekCreations Hornet UFC, Landing Panel, Right Console | WinWing Hornet Combat Ready Panel | Buddy Fox UFC | Foxx Mount | 3 x TM Cougar MFD | HP Reverb G2 | Wacom Intuos S (with VRK) | Honeycomb Alpha Yoke | Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS | CH Fighter Stick Pro & Throttle | MS Sidewinder 2 FFB | Track IR 5 | Oculus Rift CV1 善く戦う者は、まず勝つべからざるを為して、以て敵の勝つべきを待つ。 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For escort missions is there a schedule at all so you can select an airfield in the UK and escort the bombers the whole way? Or just keep an eye out with the radar?

If there was, interceptor players would just bee-line it for the spawn location and get there before escorts can organize. You just have to wait for a notification and escort request to pop up.

Hunter Joker Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Hi, in the last days sometimes the server didn't register my kill. Today for example, 10 minutes ago, I killed a D9 but didn't register anything in the score. I have the track if You want, 58Mb, if You want I can send You via Wetranfer, just give me Your email address.

If you are referring to the in-game score card... this is a bit odd and doesn't record (or sometimes over records) kills. Instead, SoW uses SlMod to do it's statistics handling. It is much better, although there are still occasionally anomalies. In any case, I had a look at the archive. Seems okay... your kill count went up one today, around the time that you first posted, so that makes sense. https://stormofwar.info/pilot_T+nH1Y3+.php 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
