ApoNOOB Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 What are everyones feelings about Mi-8 default loadout? I have strong feelings about this heavy loadout. Currently you have Rocket Pods, UPK & Gunner 2x. For me personally that is way too heavy and keeps me from doing my job (hauling troops) effectively. Further after capturing a FARP afaik before server restart you won't be able to rearm there. Are other pilots relying on the rockets/AI gunners to clear FARPs 100%? To clarify: I am very much for a less armed default loadout, fuel 60% & UPK pods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cik Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 everybody loads helicopters way too heavy. 2 rocket pods and a gun, maybe. tops. otherwise you aren't getting over those mountains baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to see the best server ever is getting the attention and appreciation it deserves. Is there going to be a different thread for the event, where we can post questions/thoughts, or should we use this one? A different thread would be better, I think. S!

D4n Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 God, I hate discord... You're not the only one... they STILL didn't manage to fix the drag&drop-window issue after more than 1-2 years now (I think that long ago. Where when you move mouse all the way up to the screen border and hold and move mouse, nothing happens. Works fine with all other Win programs) But other than that, Discord is a very very useful application!

VC Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Apologies for the noob question, but what navigation aids are available on the Caucasus map? I flew a fairly long sortie earlier and I was constantly switching to the F11 map, but the information on it is lacking, unless I just don't know how to use it. The info coming if from EWR etc. is fantastic but I can't tie it up. Am I expected to memorise where every Airfield and FARP is? Is there a way to make these display on the F11 map so I'm not flying blind? VC =X51= Squadron is recruiting!

D4n Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 (edited) For those who want to make the BlueFlag gadget force-refresh (freeze workaround) every 30 seconds (or custom value, your choice!) Here the solution, also includes the "/#"-link when you switch to caucasus: Download Firefox Greasemonkey addon https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/ or Chrome Tampermonkey extension https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tampermonkey/dhdgffkkebhmkfjojejmpbldmpobfkfo?hl=en Then create new script and paste this code (only makes gadget website auto-refresh): // ==UserScript== // @name refresh BlueFlag gadget // // @version 1 // @grant none // // @include [url]http://gadget.buddyspike.net/*[/url] // // ==/UserScript== setTimeout(function(){ location.reload(); }, 30*1000);enjoy! (change "30" to any custom value if you want) Warning: if you're typing text into the discord widget, it will get deleted, the widget doesn't save your text (until you send it), I've requested it in the widget github already.

D4n Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) To GCI, there is somewhat of a "workaround" for floating airfield names bug (but includes possible disconnect every 20-30 min.): 1.join server, then click on the forward observer slot (or other GCI slot) 2. click "briefing" 3. click "fly" and then fast zoom out the map so far that you can "move" all airfields belonging to the opponent team into the top right (or any) corner of screen (make sure all airfields are on the screen!). 4. Now wait up to ~120 seconds (don't move map!) until you see all of those airfield names appear and freeze. 5. Then enjoy the situation for ~5-30 minutes (seems to be a super random amount of minutes), then it will freeze again, you can choose to live with it then (if they freeze in an "acceptable" position) or disconnect and repeat steps 1-5 again...

Turner Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Hello all! Been enjoying this server for a little while now. My background is mostly WW2 era ACM so this thing of throwing darts at eachother is a little new to me, starting to get the hang of it. Am mostly flying the F/A-18C but am very proficient in operating the AJS37. Enjoying CV ops a lot, and am looking to learn more, of everything. Bottom line, am looking to fly with a group of likeminded enthusiasts. Just got SRS working properly. If you see me on the server give me a shout and I'd be happy to wing up with other Hornets for closer coordination. S! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4n Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 PLEASE revert to old gadget google maps design ASAP... the permanent spammy popup-message "google maps cannot be loaded properly on this website" on the maps-area is very annoying. Also please fix the discord widgetbot asap, it's supposed to work to let BlueFlag players read announcements etc. without actually having to join the BlueFlag Discord with their own account. (currently the two errors "Failed to sign in - user not in database" and "unable to locate server, ensure the bot is invited" are appearing everytime you load the gadget website... are you guys already working on this? We gotta get this DCS server to be the #1 DCS server again by the end of this month...)

Parkbank Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 "The Gadget map has been switched to development mode on purpose - no bug to report there Unfortunately, the quota/pricing changes for Google Maps recently going into effect have introduced quite some additional cost (the last 3 days alone have cumulated around 30€ of costs for Google Maps alone). We're actively looking for alternatives and/or solutions for this in the next days, bare with us in the meantime." Thats the reason. Can you stop "reeeing" now?
