The Highway-M4 is now limited at 24 hours - 0900-0900.

I got in it two days ago at just under 24 hours and the mission was resetting itself because Blue had captured Novo - I think that may have been a largely un-assisted Blue win - AI convoys only - so it may be pretty well balanced, now.

Some random shots from recent nights:

Where'd the Apaches come from?

Mainly the Southwestern United States

Boooooooooooo.

I want to say they are on Fulda Gap. I was following them around for a while. They're like little wasps of death.

Ahh - back to the editing board - won't be long, need to add more convoys into The Highway-M4, and fix the Red jets launching stuff.

I could not find Night Vision Goggles for the F-15C - anyone know if the jet has them?

As far as I can tell, there hasn't been any official implementation on NVG for the FC3 aircraft yet...

Following blindone's example, some more random pictures from last nights...

Somebody forgot a perfectly good canopy just lying around...


Waiting for them to escape Sochi...


near_blind had his request for rocksts mixed-up in the ramp. Ground crew installed a Mini-gun, complete with full boxes of ammo.





One happy camper...


near_blind, blindone and wheel go for a three ship takeoff from Beslan...


Got it, with almost no room to spare.


Winchester...RTB to Mozdok



Bast hard at work...



Admiring his handiwork...


Got a little bit shot-up


Lost an engine, but in the end landed safely at Beslan.

Nice Penguin! Frick it makes me wish I could be in there with you guys.

Yes thanks the servers are up but I don't see anyone in the SimHq TS3.. I'll look tonight, be nice to talk to people for a change instead of the chat

Anybody seen the bridge?

Nice one, crew!

Guys, I need help with an issue.

It's been the third time already that my system crashed during the Back to School mission.
My computer locks-up, and nothing works, I have to do a manual reboot to bring it back to life.

The last time I crashed during a multiplayer game was in the 104th server, two weeks ago.
I don't know if it's a problem with DCS World, or this mission in particular, so I would like to know if someone already had similar problems and if there is a work around this.
All other missions work fine.

Thanks!

Hello...

Giggle...maybe not kill you, just blast off a wing or two.

I'm excited about this new adventure....Ladies, if you can't beat 'em....

See you soon,

Sweetest

Weelcome aboard SimHQ, Sweetest!

My dahling's handle is The Babe. She ... has other priorities. I encouraged her to the Fly-In for a mixed-couples event but that won't happen (what a party pooper).


When the missiles start coming from outta nowhere, "Sweetest" is going to be ... like?? "Sweet", like mine is Crew (or Wreck, which I endure too often).

Wrecking Crew
Smooth Operators Squadron

Sweet! Go left!

We had a server crash on Hollo Pointe tonight in the Back To School mission - no particular reason for it that I could figure. I did see some strange messages in game that "Wrecking Crew was killed by a TOW" or some such stuff when I had not, and had been flying at the same time. Happened twice before the server crash. Right after the first occurrence, XRay shot me down and his first hit on e was a complete surprise, as he was not indicated in F10 as the other Blue pilots were - strange.

We're hosting missions that work best, but then we are always branching out. There's nothing to indicate a problem is on your end.

I'm thinking Godzilla bit into a trans-Atlantic cable.

Did you kill that TOR in the Highway, WC? Killed me just before you were going to prosecute it with a Mav

yes i bloody did last night went straight though it.not a good day last night kept getting sever ping to high

I have seen this kind of thing happen a couple of times and it seems to come from some sort of network separation where things are not always as they appear. Firehouse side, I have seen a few guys come in and say that they're in the server and they can see everything except the guys who are in the mission. People they can see are off flying straight and level a hundred miles out of the AO. I'm not 100% sure what that's about. Nearblind was the first to tell me he was having issues (I believe we were in the highway) but then subsequent to that we had a few others come in and complain about the same issue (can't remember who off the top of my head but both times were in BTS). Nearblind-if you're looking here- can you chime in about how you fixed the problem? Seems you had something simple that fixed it but for the life of me I can't remember what it is.

As in the past I'm going to highly recommend that if you are experiencing crashes on your end that you submit the client side log and crash log to me and I can bundle it with the server log (when I'm able to... sometimes I don't find out until too late and the log is overwritten with a new mission. Quite often we are able to grab crash logs by date and time... but the mission logs are basically dcs.log and old.dcs.log (basically)- and then it's gone.

Right now may not be the best time for submitting logs as we're on the doorstep (or the driveway) of a patch... but with the proper information we can at least confirm through the testors or the dev team whether the crash was caused by a known bug that is fixed or whether it's a new one they can work on after.

What's up with that Pete? Something going on with your ISP and it was ridiculously high or is it a setting we have on the servers that is restricting you? I don't remember you having that many issues though I suppose the fact you're on the other side of the world is working against us.

What was your ping at?
