A question:
Are you willing to use Aries in your TS SimHQ server, and provide additional information for that?

Hi Gideon,
The SimHQ Teamspeak server is maintained by guod -- try sending him a private message about the Aries mod...

Here is his info --

Hmmm, in Vulcans vs Sharks I keep getting this strange 'error on error' pop up in a dialog box on the server and the connections drop. I'm suspicious of the two Hip helicopters and their embarking and disembarking activities.

Hi WC ,

PM send to guod.
Interesting to know if more pilots are interested in ARIES?
It will add more realism to comms.
It is free software, with very good support.
Easy install, and easy to use.

Thanks sUrgeon!
I'm in ;-)

Hows everyone been? hope to get DCS working so I can join in the fun & fly around again soon.

blindone! Great that you popped in.

Looking forward to a nice Thanksgiving weekend and lots of flight time -- hope to see you.

The new Vulcans vs Sharks mission is up. Beach did an AAR here.

yeah! Missing the clip to my trackIR, so hopefully a replacement arrives before the holiday... Looking forward to it.

Been flying a lot of helos lately, and I have an expansion to the "Shark Tank" mission some of us played a few moons ago. Slots for Ka-50, UH-1H, Mi-8 for target practice, troop transport, and cargo slinging. Would love to share with folks sometime this holiday weekend!

There was a server error with Vulcans vs Sharks that had me removing the cool embarking and disembarking feature for AI Hips and infantry. There is a fix that is now in place so I plan to add that activity back into the mission.

Vulcans vs Sharks includes the ability for Hueys to drop Stinger teams, so Blue has some defense to put in place against the Red helicopters. If I could fly a Huey ...

Hi EP!

Is cargo pickup working again? My holiday starts tomorrow and looking forward to some flying fun. Hope to see you and others over this long w/e.

Are you talking about the reflective hat clip, Blindone? If so you can have mine since I use the IR track clip pro or whatever it's called.

just put cheap duct tape on a hat and you're gold

Sling loads work in MP (I only tested it with myself as host), but not the "Set Internal Cargo". Doesn't seem to be a trigger to be able to adjust that for multiplayer clients just yet. Embarkment/disembarkment works, though, and the air assault delivery of troops is a lot of fun. I've got a few chalks for both the UH-1H and the Mi-8 and a hot (OK, so for training purposes, it's "lukewarm") LZ to try and put them in. I'm thinking about putting in a couple of CA spots with smallish guns and SAMs/MANPADs to keep the helis sufficiently challenged. Can you think of anybody who might like to fulfill that role?

Forwarning: my mission is more for helo training and workshops and won't measure up to the WC-esque experiences of missions like The Highway. It's heavily inspired by Para_Bellum's How To Take Off And Blow Stuff Up mission, which I found was an excellent playground for learning the Shark. I've recreated it and expanded it to the Huey and the Hip and I'm hoping to use it with others to practice more helo things.

The trick for me will be finding a block of time where I can play with you guys - currently I'm not able to get free until 8pm MST or so. I'll try for a bigger block during the day, but it'll be tough to nail down with any certainty.

I gotta fly tomorrow morning, so I have to head to bed early tonight. Then I'm on call for the next four days at 5AM, so probably no midnight flying for me until my next PM shift rolls around. Maybe this weekend.

Well nail date a date and time guys, if you don't mind a ring in I would like to see if my schedule fits

I am a great bullet magnet

I'm not going to be able to set a definite time/date this week - I'll be on SimHQ's TS3 when I can fly.

Had some funny guys flying the two A-10Cs in Vulcans vs Sharks last night who were pretty new, but they flew well. I joined in and one of them hit a couple of Vulcans before I told him they are friendlies. That got me looking at Slmod config again (I just installed the latest version) and this morning I turned on the auto-kick and -ban for team hits and kills. Now, anyone who does this should get an automatic message that tells them when they hit a team unit.

This morning I joined back into the mission and found that all the Blue attackers were wiped out, so those guys must have been hitting the easy (Blue) targets after I left I'll add in some more logic to win the mission for Red if the attackers are all destroyed.

Plus, I'm adding in more Red AI helicopters, since no humans are flying the Client Shark slots!
