We have to have a more symetric approach to asset building in DCS else its a bluefor museum rather than a combat sim. I thought your minimum required list was generous in its omnission of carriers for both sides and amphibious beach landing abilities of units. ___________________________________________________________________________ SIMPLE SCENERY SAVING * SIMPLE GROUP SAVING * SIMPLE STATIC SAVING * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought your minimum required list was generous in its omnission of carriers for both sides and amphibious beach landing abilities of units. It was absolute minimum, I agree. The list in Section 8 of the report are units in addition to those already being developed. Magnitude3 are developing an Essex-class carrier. (They could also put that unit on the Japanese roster with a rising-sun-flag and a huge red-circle on the flight deck and you have a stand-in for the Taiho, I suppose.) American landing craft are already in the WW2 assets pack, or are being developed by Mag3, and they are not needed for Japanese forces, who are on the defensive at this stage. Also, we know the difficulty of getting any WW2 assets. While it is easy to draft up a massive list of hundreds of unit types, that section really was trying to keep it to an absolute minimum to make it tractable for any development effort, whether ED or a 3rd party. Another point for that report was that it was from an historical perspective. So, trying to get the bare minimum to create a series of historical missions. In any case, we don't think we could make it work for Storm of War. Hence the conclusion that we will not use Marianas on our server. That said, it would still make a nice coop or SP map.

Pikey Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Regarding Asset support for Pacific/SE Asia (and sorry not to derail this thread too much) there's a bit of a gap to be filled that is difficult to do, with even imaginative minds. Assets in this region are only going to detract from the slim list available for the European theatre. I think to do anything in the Pacific for WW2 something has to change quite drastically as the current route hasn't even started. ___________________________________________________________________________ SIMPLE SCENERY SAVING * SIMPLE GROUP SAVING * SIMPLE STATIC SAVING * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orb Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 (edited) As a heavy IL2 player and used the way campaign servers are setup there, i have to commend the creators of the SoW. Its scratching an itch i never knew i had! Learning the DCS flight characteristics has been certainly a challenge, but spending time fighting off 109s from a bomber stream etc has been so good. I have a question regarding TacView recordings. I can only see my aircraft on playback, is there something I need to tweak in the settings to allow other server object to be visible?

You will have to replay the track file locally to get a complete Tacview. The server has the data export of other players off for performance reasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Track files are normally in your saved games path. They have a .trk file extension. If you choose replay in the menu screen it should get you to the storage location. Once there, click multiplayer folder and choose the appropriate file. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gadreel Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 (edited) Change the filename from .trk to .miz - open in mission editor - menu "customize"-"options" check the box for "external views" - save the mission (takes some time) change filename back to .trk. When youn replay the track file now you have external views. Edited July 20, 2021 by Gadreel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool-Hand Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Just a quick question now that we are closing out the month featuring ground attacks, do the allies ever get the use of HVAR rockets instead of only being able to arm M8's on P47s? If i recall the first usage of HVARS historically was around the battles near St. Lo and the Normandy breakout. Still love the server and have a great time on there as always.

Quote 2. HVAR rockets were first used by P47s in Europe on July 15 1944. Prior to that date only M8 tube rockets are available for the P47s. HVARs are not to be used by P51s at all.
