The defense department regrets to inform you that your sons are dead because they were stupid.

Here is the aftermath of a 4ship (3 abreast) landing. We landed fine, but Near_Blind had a blowout and Turk rear ended him, causing him to spin into me....



good times last night. I'd be playing tonight but my wife has command over valentines day. BTW, I have a second HOTAS on the way for her!

A formation landing of a blindone and a near blind one... hmmm.

Just kidding, I'd really like to try this, you guys know how to have fun!

Hey gents, I'm wondering if someone may be available to help me test anew MP mission. It's a short mission, maybe 40 minutes max, and pretty close to completion, I just want to confirm balance and playability with two humans flying the main CAS mission in A-10s. It's a hot start on the ramp, fairly standard CAS, but good communication/teamwork between the pilots is advantageous so I'm appealing here for anyone who might be able to hook up with me on the SimHQ TS server, preferably mornings/early afternoons, PST.

The .miz has a total of 6 client slots, i.e. two Hog CAS flights plus one F-15C CAP flight for those with the FC3 module but I am primarily interested in testing the Hog flight that is the most indispensable to the mission.

I do not have the time for squadron flying any more so I do not have an instant source for MP partners.

There's no instant email notification of replies on these boards but I'll be checking back periodically. Thanks.

I should be free for most of tonight, what time are we aiming to test?




And yet I was the one who was rear ended!

I'm in PST and free now (12:53) for about one and a half hours. We could put it up on your server (eno has it) or I could host. It's a short-ish, probably intermediate-level CAS sortie. We'd need voice comms, preferably SimHQ TS.

its a recipe for complete failure. Beer and formation landings don't usually end well.

Eh guys... I'm back and at the server... new mission will be up shortly from Bahger.

Eno, I asked you in my email and in the SimHQ thread I made, not to put the mission up until we coordinated it so that I could test it with someone. It's Beta. I don't want people playing it amongst themselves until I have done these last few playtests. I appreciate your help but could we figure out a way to play it so that I'm available either to play or to spectate?

Oooooooh. Okay. Will take it down.

Might need to host it on your server.. I'm not home now so I'm doing it from a distance.

I can put up our training mission and if one of the admins is in the server they can start it or you can coordinate it back in your thread- it may be easier given that setup.

I didn't really have time to read through the email- I was being a bit presumptuous and trying to accommodate from work while in a hurry. Sorry about that.

Anyway, if we can make it work on the firehouse I'm game but one of the admin guys from here will need to spool the mission up if that's the case.

No problem, much appreciated. I think it's a good .miz, quite tactical; I just need to verify the timings and level of difficulty with two competent humans in the low-level CAS flight. Many thanks.

How would you suggest I find someone to play it with me; hang around the Hollo Pointe server on SimHQ TS? There'd be no point testing it without voice comms.

Mol and blind seem to have a good grasp on slmod and mol has access to the server comp- either of them could help you out in the firehouse side. But yes getting on ts3 in either room would likely be the best bet.

(Edit: On a side note- there are half a dozen guys in there now if you want to get in there- they're doing training).

Hollo Pointe just started up with The Highway-M4.

I want to fly my F-15, I want to fly it high

ummm, I figure this mission will be in the early morning hours when I get off work tomorrow for a three-day weekend so I plan to join in Friday afternoon while the in-mission time is ~0300. The Highway-M4 goes from 0900-0900.

If you see me on team speak don't hesitate to pull me aside. I'll help you out whenever!

Thanks very much. I'll lurk there tomorrow (Friday) morning. I just need one wiingman minimum but if there are any more folks who want to play, there's also an A-10C CAS/Strike flight and and F-15 CAP that are all client slots. These roles spawn as AI flights if they are not filled by players.

Mace i be on 8pm uk time,any other uk flyers want to join me i be on teamspeak

I am lingering right now in the server- if guys want me to change it over I can.

On a bit of a server update note... We have had a great busy time in the server with loads of regulars and guests coming through enjoying the experience.

I currently have 13 individuals in the ban list. I can't name them here- but offenses include TKs and very often just conduct unbecoming... the latter ranges between everything from excessive swearing, badgering, and text spamming.

If you are reading the thread and realize that you've had difficulty getting a connection to the firehouse or hollo pointe servers (we share the same bantables), then contact me via IM and I'll verify if you're on the ban list. If you're there, we'll work something out if the circumstances call for it.

What I have been happy to see is that our membership has been regularly passing me on information about incidents so that I can go into the logs, review what happened and take action. This helps me keep the area clean and enjoyable for everyone. Thanks again for your help in this.

Where is everybody most of the time? Everytime I look in Simhq Ts3 there's no one there.. anyways I'll be in there tonight lookng for some F15 action !

Eh Longbow... typically it's quiet during the day even though there are often people in the server. I've found things started to fire up around 4pm PST and are pretty solid around until 10pm PST. As you'll see we now have rooms dedicted to both servers and we are recommending we keep completely off topic banter and conversations in different rooms (DCSW lobby for example) so that guys in mission can stay focussed on their tasks.

Of course some idle chit-chat is expected... but completely off topic conversations can be left for other rooms.

Hmmm, LF -
Hollo Pointe server should show The Highway-M4 running right now - if it hasn't restarted since yesterday evening then it will be at about 2300 mission time.

If you want to try something, take your F-15C down The Highway and when you go feet wet you should trigger some MiG action. Let me know how that goes?

I think he just means nobody in TS3- not in our our servers. I checked when I posted up the training mission this morning and HM4 was up- 12+ hours though... thought it was a 12 hour limit?
