OPERATION DESERT STORM | FICTIONAL | INFORMATION LETTER SHORT REMINDER: THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE REAL LIFE OPERATION DESERT STORM! __________________________________________________________ Singleplayer - YES Multiplayer - YES COOP - YES Each other - YES Against each other - YES __________________________________________________________ Syria Map - Required Carrier Module - Highly Recommended Tf-51 / Is Free & should be Pre Installed Gray Shark Skin - Recommended 16-32 GB Ram - Recommended Hello and welcome to the information sheet on the mission "Operation Desert Storm" Operation Desert Storm is a dynamic mission that means there are multiple possible endings! You can play Operation Desert Storm alone, in co-op or against each other! There are no limits! The main goal in Operation Desert Storm is to take out the enemy aircraft (AI) and then land! Whoever manages this first, decides the victory for his faction! If one faction wins, the other faction loses! Again, you can fight the AI with a friend and then land. Or you can fight the enemy AI on your own while your friend / enemy has to do the same against you! The first to turn off all targets wins! You can of course do 2v2 1v2 and so on, no limits! The location is on the new Syria map and starts at sunrise! Now you are setup for my first Dynamic Mission and I really hope you will enjoy it! I have also added a Airshow! So you can train with oldschool aircraft like the TF51 or BF109! (please keep in mind that this mission does not try to be realistic at all! Its a 100% Generic Fun Mission, something you just wanna throw on without thinking to much and just testing out the latest stuff of DCS!) OPERATION DESERT STORM CONTENT - 2 rival factions, each with 4 selectable airmen - Real radio messages from the political groups: USA & RUSSIA - Different endings possible (Dynamic Mission) - Audio announcements if a team member has died or an enemy player has been eliminated. - Audio announcements if an enemy is sighted in the area & warning if you are in an enemy area. - The latest carriers are available for both factions! - SAM targets available for both factions (A-10II, SU25T - to counter SAM site) - Mission briefing for each Faction! - RAM friendly, despawning of cinematic aircrafts, carrier and assets only spawn when needed (if you spawn inside a f14 it will unlock the carrier (same for russian carrier and cinematic aircraft) - Many many IF conditions for a balanced game flow - Self-made mission pictures so that you know what your task is! - Airshow (Ram friendly, if you spawn in a Neutral aircraft everything that is related with the Operation Desert Storm Mission will despawn so you save Ram and can press F2 without seeing other aircraft then yours! REAL ATC AUDIO RECORDINGS For an immersive feeling! Russian and American Voices! Alerts and kill confirmation Voice! SELECTABLE AIRCRAFT RUSSIA: - Su 33 (on Carrier) - Su 33 (on Carrier) - Mig 29 (on Airbase) - Su25T (on Airbase) - Su27 (on Airbase) SELECTABLE AIRCRAFT USA: - F14 B (on Carrier) - F18 (on Carrier) - F16 (on Airbase) - F14 A (on Airbase) - A10II (on Airbase) ------------------------------------------------------------------ SELECTABLE AIRCRAFT NEUTRAL (AIRSHOW): - BF109 (on Airbase) - Mig29 (on Airbase) - Spitfire (on Airbase) - TF 51 (on Airbase) - AV8B (on Airbase) EPIC BATTLEFIELD INTRO SONG Epic Intro for following units - F14 B - F18 Whats planned for future Update: - adding 2 Helicopters with unqiue Tasks for each Faction (Hind + Blackshark - Russia) (Apache + Huey - America) OPERATION DESERT STORM TEASER (we recommend you downloading the Gray Shark Skin for cool looking SU33 AI and Client Aircraft ( https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/de/files/3312850/ ) ENJOY OPERATION DESERT STORM ( https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/de/files/3316674/ ) | REMINDER FOR THE DOWNVOTERS | the Operation name was a mistake, i accept it. So please evaluate the mission and not the name! And for the Haters: If you are not able to read a description then i cant help you! The name is definently not a misleading Title, i wrote down like a 100 times that this mission is Fictional! With best regards BlazeXI

OK, I got a few flying new guy/FNG questions on the mighty Tomcat. If they're annoying, sorry in advance. For the record I only have 6 hours, 51 minutes with a few air-to-air kills in the Tomcat versus 127 hours, 50 minutes in the A-10C Tank Killer II; 12 hours, 53 minutes in the Su-25 and 4 hours, 9 minutes in the MiG-29S. So I'm not too up to speed on operating radars. That said, I have found sometimes while in a dogfight that I literally point the Tomcat at an A-4 I'm training against and the radar won't lock up right away to help improve my (very mediocre) air gunnery. Is there some kind of dogfight radar mode in the Tomcat? Or something I should tell my RIO? Thanks in advance.

Hi! I thought do a dogfight training mission and I want to respawn automatically when I die. Is this possible or not? Script or trigger way would be fine. Regards

Good morning aviators I'm happy to introduce you here my ELO Dogfight Server. Yet Another Dogfight Server . All fights played on this server automatically produce ELO calculation for players accordingly to the aircraft used in the fight. And you automatically get the results, rankings & statistics, on the website here : https://elodogfight.cellules-rapaces.fr/en I implemented a really cool feature on this server, wich is the AutoSpawn script. The use of this script is mandatory in order to join any slot on this server. You have to copy paste it in your [user]\Saved Games\DCS.Openbeta\Scripts\Hooks. You can download it here : https://elodogfight.cellules-rapaces.fr/en/presentation/ELO-DF_auto-spawn_GameGUI.lua This is a really small effort for many time saved going back to spectator and slot after each kill... You can look at the content of this script, and reuse it on your own server if you wish. It is really short and simple . I produced a small video, less than 7 minutes, in order to present the server : You can retrieve all details on the website https://elodogfight.cellules-rapaces.fr/en . As in any competitions there's a minimum of organisation and way to do things. Yet if you make a try, you'll rapidly see that once you're used to the process, it is really easy. Many thanks to the french speaking community which help me testing and initializing activity on the server. Many thanks to Eagle Dynamics for this great sim with many possibilities opened to content creators and server hosters. Hope many other people will enjoy it . On my side I'll continue improving it bringing new functionalities, statistics, aircrafts (why not helicopters also...)... Many many thanks to you for your reading till here. Fight's On, Let's Turn and Burn

This is the JUST DOGFIGHT server thread. https://justdogfight.com/ : Server Web pages, live connected players etc https://twitch.tv/flighterg : Twitch streaming / channel. YouTube Live Sometimes live streaming on YT Server addresses (use if the servers do not appear in the server browser) : Stable : dcs1.justdogfight.com:15608 Openbeta GR : dcs2.justdogfight.com:15308 OpenBeta DE : dcs3.justdogfight.com:15308 Example (be careful with the port numbers) : 5-APR-2022-: After a long time here's the news : - Due to unforeseen circumstances there was 0 time for server maintenance. Only the GR Open-beta was operational after a point in time. - One of the servers running Stable was on Windows Server 2019. For some reason DCS stopped supporting that operating system (see here). The server was ditched and a new one set with Windows 10 pro. - The Open-beta server's hard disk space (150 GB) was not enough for the latest server update . The server had to be also updated. This turns out to be an expensive affair. - The latest mission (v2.7b) has the following changes: Added AH64 helli in the 1v1 helli area Added Mi helli in the 1v1 helli area Removed the AI auto-respawn plane- Planes for practice (when the server is empty) can always be spawned manually by the OTHER-> JDF Menus Changed fuel to 80% in GUNS area for F16 The in-game voice chat got some love. Use Left-CTRL + Left-SHIFT + TAB (default keys) to use it. This thread is monitored again. Have you tried the 2 vs 2 area ? For functionality check this. PS. Have missed you all.. 20-MAY-2020-: A third area for 1vs1 (area 3) has been created. This area is only for the beta testers. 15-MAY-2020-: The "Nickname reservation" system is now in beta test. Beta testers may join. Also History of one's used nicknames is available after linking his/her account. See this post. 7-MAY-2020-: The justdogfight.com site is starting to take shape. Watch this space as we add content and most important functionality (eg connected players). 1-MAR-2020-: A new machine is now used for the stable version of the Server. Please update your Teamspeak Address. 19-FEB-2020-: Server version 2.5.6.43503 suffers from crashes and restart issues. 25-OCT-2019 -: Team-killing will cause automatic kicks and temporary auto-ban. Be careful ! 19-OCT-2019 -: The World War 2 aircraft are back. They are of course Guns-only, close to the GUNS area. Slot names begin with WW2. 07-APR-2019 -: For the past 3 months we have serious issues with the server browser and network connectivity in general. We have already done serious attempts to rectify this issue and we are still working on it. We hope that this will be resolved soon, hopefully with the help from ED. Please if you get sudden disconnections let us know the date and time either in this thread or with a PM. Thanks 06-JUL-2018 - : The main sever is now on 2.5.x stable. The backup server may run periodically one of the maps on latest Open Beta. 17-JUN-2018 - : In the 17 months of operation we had (both servers): more than 99.9 % uptime 8185 players with multiple connections 15998 unique player names 79584 connections 228 GB of ziped tacview records Thanks for all your flying hours ! What it is : A friendly place to go into immediate action. Why : Because (most of the times) we do not have 1 hour for preparation and another hour for getting where the AIM120 will want to be friends with us. Because (most of the times) fur-ball is fun. Because (most of the times) we do not like Long Range BVR missiles. Because (many times) when we play we like as little rules as possible. Because (most of the times) we like air to air. Because (some times) we like taking off from the taxiways ! If you want to get proficient in close air combat, this is the server to join. Servers We run three servers: Release version / Caucasus classic map. Open beta version / Caucasus classic map - Germany Server. Open beta version / Caucasus classic map - Greek server - small capacity. Please note that the Small Open Beta server has all data export turned off because of limited bandwidth. Areas of operations We have two main areas plus three 1vs1 and one 2vs2: IR missiles and Guns. GUNS only. 1vs1, two players max per area. 2vs2, 4 players total, selectable AI aircraft up to a total of 4 (AI + Human) Slot naming and meaning The beginning of the slots and their meaning is listed below : 1v1 : "Just the two of us". Only one player per area/team 2v2 : 1 to 4 human players with auto fill AI up to a total of 4 Aircraft. Info here AIR : Planes spawn mid air armed with 4 IR missiles (usually) and guns in the IR fight area. CARR : The plane is spawned in the IR fight area on the red or blue carrier. GND : The plane is spawned in the IR fight area on the ground. GUNS : The plane is spawned mid air armed only with guns in the GUNS fight area. WW2 : The plane is spawned airborne close to guns area. These are World War 2 planes for gunfights. ZZ : Various tests and fun items - experiments. IR Area notes ("AIR", "GND","CARR") Bases in IR area have most weapons available (including medium BVR). Please keep in mind that this is a close dogfight server. Use BVR weapons as little as possible. There is 1 red AI always flying so even 1 player can have some fun and practice. You may spawn more opponents if less than 2 players are connected. Use the F10 -> other menu. PLEASE DO NOT ABUSE. You can attack any ground target you like if you can survive the enemy planes. All units are on an auto re-spawn system. Note: Nukes, AIM120s, R77s AIM54s are available from carriers due to a game bug. Still they will disappear upon launch. Also, Other BVR A2A weapons have a high failure rate in our server's stock. Use at your own risk... 1vs1 areas ("1v1") Notes There are 2 areas with 1vs1 slots. Slots begin with "1v1", followed by the area id/coalition, eg 1B for Blue or 1R for Red; "1" being the area ID (1 or 2 for the two available areas). Only one of the available planes may be occupied at any time (per coalition and area ID). If the area is occupied a message will inform the attempting player with the message "Already taken by \<playername\>" 1v1 planes have 2 IRs missiles, if you want only guns, don't use them (or just launch them to save weight). Some tips : -On main map, most of the fun is along the line between Batumi (blue base) and Senaki (red base). -Turn your labels on. They are only small dots, and only active when the other plane is about 6 nm away. Ground assets are shown much further away and are good for visual orientation. They can be distracting though and you can switch them off separately. Also, labels help to only shoot enemies and not friendlies (they are red or blue). -You can also spawn two red AI planes in the GUNS only area. ! IMPORTANT ! - Keep the chat decent. We have very young people connecting, please be cautious of what you type. - DO NOT BE LAME. Do not eject from a healthy plane because you are about to be shot out of the sky. Be a sport. - When out of missiles, either stay for the gunfight or make a run for your base. Bases are protected by AAA. Again, Be a sport. - Keep the teams balanced. - Be nice and courteous, have fun ! - Keep your canopy on. Do not spoil it for the screen-shooters ! - Do not disconnect/reconnect with no reason, especially to fix your stats. It creates lag ! And remember, it is OK to be shot down. Keep smiling DCS v2.5.xx Release : 46.4.95.74:10308 DCS v2.5.xx OpenBeta : 94.70.240.200:15308 TEAMSPEAK: Server name: "JUSTDOGFIGHT" IP: 46.4.95.74 Password: "JDF" P.S. We could have statistics but we are afraid that it will make the site "serious" and people less expressive. This may change...
