I just realised something that would add an edge to the Highway, that I don't think anyone's mentioned yet... Night Highway! And... Snow/Rain Highway! I would love to fly those  -Night Highway -Snow Highway or extended 2 Way/Part Highway, Startup/Taxi, depart, mission, then return through the original highway.

WC - just a point you might be interested in - I was on t'other night and people on TS were saying they avoid your server because it's way too difficult. That doesn't surprise me, since I ran Shirley's Cross over and over as it was going through its final stages of Beta. The mission had F10 View - Map Only for days on end - and THAT was really difficult. Map Only absolutely required Combined Arms ground players and hardly any joined. LOL, Friday, I was going to show the guys that a Blue GC could win for Blue like the Red GC can influence the win for Red, but right after I started the Cross again I got voted down for something else to run! The Cross mission has F10 Fog Of War now, and it has a lot more messaging to inform each side what is happening. White Bird is another tough one, as you are in a blinding snow storm much of the time. But hey, they can't all be a walk in the park or a Sunday drive down a highway! Then there's Riders ot Storm which can be a real #$%^&... Wait till Bay Of Hogs comes back on line (when ships are fixed). And Pirates Of The Crimean... hunting small boats at night - arrrr matey! WC

I don't promote the TS3 connection through SimHQ enough in the server- so I'm going to deal with that side of it... I used to be able to post through the servman message of the day but now I need to script it in. Look at the repeating message in the top of the trigger logic... repeats every 23 minutes. We can work on what that should say. In the missions I updated yesterday, I added "SimHQ Teamspeak" near the top of each mission briefing, so when the mission is selected in the Multiplayer Lobby folks can see that before they join. WC

The only problem I have with Shirley's Cross is I get really bad framerate. There must be a lot of units in there?

I played in Shirley's cross yesterday and got shot down by the rain.  frames were at 1 for extended periods in rain. This baffles me because in riders of the storm I have no problems at all. Frames are in the between 15 and 25 when it's not raining. Usually 20 to 30 is normal for me. Riders is normal weather with fog, clouds and rain. Shirley's Cross is Dynamic Weather with two opposing systems rotating in different directions. White Bird is also Dynamic Weather - with *six* systems. Try that and let me know what your frames are... I have a GTX 295 in a box... WC

Can I be honest? In highway mission, the flight back to the sea it's easy. The idea for The Highway came about when I was flying in Riders ot Storm and ralfi came along bopping by me w/o any weapons on his wings, and I asked him why, he said he wanted to have some fun in an un-weighted Hog. He did a couple barrel rolls and quick turns through the canyon and flew off like he was having a blast. ^^^ That's why The Highway started off with no weps except the gun - so you can enjoy the fun of flying the Warthog at low level with the power to dive and jink and roll. Eno is making modifications to his version of The Highway and he will indicate such in the revision part of the mission name. I need to reassess what my version of The Highway is going to be, because in DCS v1.2.x the ability to repair at Neutral Airbases has been eliminated, and that throws off the concept I had for this mission. But the four-lane part will likely remain, with possibly a few more shooters in the enemy columns like what Eno has introduced; where the changes I'm considering will be about what happens at Gelendzhik and Novorossiysk. I am going down the same road, so to speak, that Eno has... WC

In addition to Dynamic Weather in Shirley's, there are about a dozen Illumination Bombs going off over six seconds every 5 minutes or so. But, No, the number of units/groups in the mission are not great. Shirley's Cross and White Bird are the only two missions of mine with Dynamic Weather. Prior to Sunday, the Hollo Pointe server was running with Render3D = true. I was getting stuttering, too, so I changed that to Render3D = false and that may have helped a bit. WC

Kome I'd be very surprised if you make it through this last iteration without being shot at.  Challenge accepted! But seriously, I have the highest respect for the missions you guys are pulling off with this sim! Wait, for You all too, not just for the missions!  English is though stuff. (ehheh see what I did here?) :P Also @Wrecking Crew: No worries! I wasn�t boasting nor minimising the mission profile. I guess I was basically showing off I can fly too... And to be really honest, flying with an empty Warthog is a rarely matched feeling!  I LOVE IT! So, thank you all, once more!

That's really cool Crew, neat to know the reasoning behind that mission. In spite of my troubles yesterday I really do think its amazing. And it's a great concept in the first place too, it does provide a nice amount of zoom, especially considering we are flying Hogs.

I noticed that too. And I no longer have to alt-tab out and back in to be able to click on things.
Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.
This is known as "bad luck.”

komemiute - You write pretty good English! No problem getting your meaning - I saw you write 'though' for 'tough' in two places, so I simply thought to let you know... Me - I keep a dictionary close. But I prolly should always spell out words like they are spossed to be spelled. WC

I've not had this issue at all when switching between DCSW and TS3  That reminds me - when I was on Highway in the Firehouse, after I got stoved-in I saw illumination flares (shmooly) drifting down - in the middle of the day?!

Thank you for hosting your free-flight mission. I enjoyed it very much and was impressed that the ADF worked properly.
salute!

I really liked the Nuke plant mission last night, that was one I hadn't seen before. I wasn't able to choose a different loadout at the FARP for the Black Shark though, no matter what I selected it was always the default. Maybe that is because it was the FARP and not an airbase?
It would be interesting to see how the SU-25 would work in some of these missions with its speed advantage.
