homepage Forums Air Combat & Civil Aviation DCS World Eno's Firehouse and Crew's Hollo Pointe Server Lounge

I went in there and it was crashed... I suspect it happened when the tankers completed on station and RTBd... It's back up again now... a bit of training / getting controls reset if necessary... mission tonight.

Good start to the weekend - running v1111 - a few are in now, just shaking out the cobwebs and all seems good to go.


Look in the v1111 Multiplayer Lobby - if you don't see Eno's Firehouse then try the New Search a few times and it should show up.

Man that was a good time! Had a few crashes earlier in the evening, but whatever you guys did before the last restart worked. 3 hours and not a hiccup or glitch on my end. Frame rates were silky smooth. No slowdowns at all from weapons explosions and those sexy wing tip vapor trails.

Rampant Bear is definitely one of my favorite missions. Highlights for me were watching crew seal up the Roki tunnel. Skate down in the weeds making gun runs on Tanks and BMPs. Spent a half an hour trying to find a hidden Tunguska that took me out a few times, and text book formation approach and landing with BlindOne.

Yes. Eno, whatever you did squashed the timeout for me too. Such a greatmission. Great flying with you Rider, those formation landings are a thing of beauty when done right. I wish I had been recording it.

I'm VERY glad to hear that guys. We went out last night and ended up meeting up with some friends and it went a lot later than I expected. When I checked in around midnight I noticed the server was still up and running and Rider was in there- I just looked in again and the server is STILL running and Rider is still in there lol. I think he's just parked- holding his spot... I'm going to be heading in there to see what is left and clean up a bit. Not sure how far you guys got last night? Roki is filled in so I won't go there but I wonder what else there is?

If I go in there and there's NOTHING at all I'll change the mission out. Might put up OP bactria actually... also there were a couple other missions we were talking about last night that I'll go and download from Druid / Speed.

On my first flight with 1.1.1.1 a couple of guys joined me in training- but not on TS3. One guy took off just before I did... he was using the radio- did a normal takeoff... climbed out and then disappeared. I gave him some room so he knew I wasn't going to give him any grief... and on departure climbed out with the intent to go to the tanker. As I flew towards the tanker, this other user was flying a bit close- being a bit on the ignorant side... flying on my wing then cutting me off a bit. At first I figured he was just overcommitting or something and wrote it off. He eventually fell behind and I merged with the tanker. As I approached, suddenly the tanker bat turned and started punching out flares... I couldn't join up with him. I had my missile warning turned off at this point- but I think I know what happened. Not coincidentally, this other user had caught up.

I turned missile warning on.

I ended up turning around and heading for the other tanker- with this guy in tow. I joined up with the other tanker and caught him at a good time (straight line) and hooked up pretty quickly. Had a little trouble trying to get back into the groove after so long without any practice at all. As I was concentrating I kept thinking I was hearing these tiny bursts of 30mm- but was so close to the tanker and success that I disregarded it as flight noise. (I'm not an idiot- I know the guy was taking pot shots)

Anyway- got a good hookup... was refuelling when the tanker (and I) burst into flames.

I told crew this story and he said that kind of thing happens to me more than anyone else he knows... What AMAZES me- and forgive me for entitling myself to this opinion- is that I work REALLY hard... REALLY, REALLY hard to keep this server up and running and to leave the doors open and I'M the one getting hit by these idiots.

What amazes me even moreso is that a guy would go through a cold start routine, use the radio, takeoff... fly in formation and then shoot a guy while he's hooked up to a tanker. I mean- good grief.

I shut down my client side and went over on TV to the server and kicked the moron. He rejoined. Kicked, rejoined... kicked... rejoined. Yeah- just like that x 10.

Suffice to say I shut the server down (there was another guy in there at the time... I gave him warning that I was going to do it but he didn't come back. If you're reading this- sorry) and reinstalled servman. There is NO OTHER WAY to ban guys from coming in- not in the stock 1.1.1.1 platform (or any other version come to think of it).

So- what I am going to tell you is that while there is some lattitude with killing AI forces... the settings for team killing are quite strict.

I'm going to be heading in shortly- Pete... where are ya?! Come in for a flight!

EDIT: S6 warnings almost at takeoff from the east? yikes.

I would have just hawked the airbase and strafed his ass every time he respawned.
Will be on later today 4 or 5 pacific time. Looking forward to a long evening of zooming around and blowing crap up.

^^^ Yaa but if you clip a wing in a tight formation or spawn on top of someone or some other accident occurs then what - banned for life?

When I see some pilot acting odd I tell 'em right away that there's no team-killing on the Firehouse. I'll give a couple / few verbal warnings and then if the behavior persists I'll kick em through the Pool list on the server.

After I closed Roki Tunnel in Rampant Bear, I was flying around Gori picking off BUK stuff - had been in the mission for a couple of hours. Saw some artillery firing towards Tbilisi. By that time all I had left was guns. I turn in on the targets and went to zoom in my view and got the dreaded Stopped Working message - it was just me, though - a bunch of others were still flying. But I called it a night at that point.

I have some stuff to do before I can join - be a couple hours and I'll be there.

No- not that strict.

I went in and mopped up the S6s but there is an enemy convoy on our side of the fork in the river- in the city. I only went up with my SEAD loadout (4x mavs / 50% fuel) so but e time I was done with the guskas I only had guns and that convoy was pretty well protected. I marked it off and went in to land. I'm parked at vaziani right now- I think rider is at sogunkug.

It's also night time- so by the time were in there later it'll likely be 4am or so. Might be a nice time for a few of us to go clean up then change missions.

Here's a stupid question - does the pilot's head animation mirror trackIR head movements?

ok cant find any firehouse servers on 1.1.1.1 or dcsw help

pete -
I can't see it either - in v1111 Multiplayer Lobby - but tc and Rider are in it and they say all is good in the mission.


-- edit -- I can see Eno's under History tab - 174.7.72.36:10308 - can connect. Geez it's dark.

That looks like a monitorsetup.lua script error.

Yeah... I think there's some other things that need to be done to work with your program there Pete. Sorry I can't actually help out- but if you're still in "1 monitor" configuration... you might need to go reconfigure it.

Rampant Bear ran for about 20 hours before being completed I believe- I'm not sure who all was in earlier but it sounds like Xray and someone else finished the job in there. Nice and smooth when I Was in there- I think they had the same experience.


On another note, we had some issues with Back to School on 1.1.1.1 earlier- the server crashed after I ambushed Mol while he was putting the finishing touches on Raven... We then had a great experience with Op Bactria. I think the server ran smooth for about 4 hours. HAWG and PIG missions were complete- I think 1 Boar mission was complete... but the server cleared out and unfortunately the mission isn't really designed to be long term so supporting assets end up turning in within about 6 hours. I'm going to put a training mission back up.

Anyway, wanted to post some screens from the day.

Good drop...



Beautiful evening...





S6 from 20K



The A-10 can take a punch...


OP Bactria, PIG Flight- Eno, Rider, Mol, Wheel





I saw the screenshot thing come up a few times- I'm sure there are some good ones out there. Post! Once combat starts in Op Bactria, it hits pretty fast and hard... tough to remember to hit the SS button. Anyway- Looking forward to seeing some others!

Chris, I think we missed your question.


Brief answer is yes- it does mirror those movements side to side but not up and down. I don't think that movement is captured in tracks, however.

cant see any servers up boys just the one server in 1.1.1.1 we dcsw or 1.1.1.1

May have crashed- will look shortly
