I'm looking for some help.

There's this idea I've had for a web site where I could have links to my DCS World missions for download and a donate button, so I could get a little 'mailbox money' from my efforts. It could be a simple page and I want to be able to add text and background, and add new missions as they become available. (Not sure I need a mission rating feature, or customer comments arr arr...)

What do I need to get to make this work? Does somebody know how to do this and want to give me a hand?

Thank you -- looks good! I was also thinking of trying my hand at Google Sites,,, I've made enough of those at work.


BTW, some new missions and features are up on Hollo Pointe. Most of the Client fast-movers now have wingmen, which has turned out to be pretty fun!

WC

Nice to see all the good discussions in the forum!

I worked up a site and hope to have it available later this week.

Question for Huey drivers -- What Red armor tracked unit is the least effective and easiest to kill?
APC MTLB
ARV BRDM-2
AVR BTR-RD
ARV MTLB-U Bowman

WC

I hope I didn't do something not aloud in the brief as red commander. There was a sudden exodus

No, Blue got called away by the CINC. Anything goes in the mission.

Road To Persa mission --
From the A-10C in Blue, I had no indication of Red units on the F10 map. Fog Of War is On along with External Views. I know raven got in there close to some Red and I expected to see the Red show up on F10. I could see Red positions with their Labels but not on the map.

DCS Summer Sale announcement -- Combined Arms is $7.99.



WC

How classic is that! Armor outruns its own air defense. When will they learn?



WC

"The ground is a very deadly weapon."

It depends upon the nature of the terrain.



WC

An enhancement was added to the new Simply War mission. Now Combined Arms players can deploy MANPADS and RPG units from some armor groups. You have one deployment per armor group, so use it only when needed. See the Radio F10 menu.

WC

Pulling in the opposing armor forces in Simply War,,, want to make it fun for the Combined Arms players, by reducing the time to engage. There is arty for both sides, as well as field air defense -- but the CA has to bring it forward.

The M1-A1s are nice for long range targeting, once you get the hang of it. Point, Enter, slew and fire!

The Mission was "The Highway"
You are low on ammo, and the only way home is through a gauntlet of SAM/RADAR Sites, You must fly below Radar, and Below SAM Tracking, and there are convoys on the Highway.

This video is actually a few weeks (Months?) old, forgot I had recorded it,
I was running the Highway Mission, and A convoy had tagged me with rounds, took out some systems, but I kept going, didnt know they had damaged my left wing, so as soon as I made the 5+G Bank turn about halfway through the waypoints, the wing snapped off and down my A-10C Went.

I Edited off the boring stretch over the lake running on autopilot.

Highway is AWESOME! The only problem I've got is A, trying to fly too low over the lake (<10 feet) and B, getting systems knocked out from small arms after taking stupid risks strafing. The scenes along the highway after a few hours reminds you of the Highway of Death in some places, and the low flying really makes the map and experience feel very fresh.

I can get through w/o taking hits, you gotta zig zag a lil, approach convoys from center over the highway, as you approach, cut one way, then back another, I made the mistake of staying to the side, and all they had to do was lead, so I banked right to use the wing to protect the engines, i didnt realize the convoy had damaged the wing as much as they did, pulled the 5G turn into the valley after the city and boom, wing gone, rolled into the dirt.

for the lake/beginning, I dive low, under power lines, hop the one small city, and then hit the AP button at the coast and manage ALT using trim up/down.

The Highway is one of those missions that is just plain Classic!

Nice vid Skate -- but you're sposed to go *under* the bridge at the lake exit I love the screen real estate that you have, especially the instruments below the cockpit.

Yes, scrim, was that you going over the lake at 144'? I think folks can't tie a much lower altitude than that. BTW, that bridge, where the illumination bomb is, you can go under it at 180' and even a bit higher, but you will scrape the tops of the tail. 'Scraaape' yikes what was that? 160' is a good height, plenty of room.


The Highway can be won with Combined Arms, too (the mission is a Blue COOP); if you can get some Blue air defense in near Novo then the Red cargo helicopter can't land to supply the base. Huey guys like to fly up near the lake and pick off the convoys coming down from KC. There is a FARP halfway down, and another near the coast; raven has been trying to make it to Gelen, but needs A-10C help with the couple of few Outposts and their stenken ZUs. Geez I hate it when that first ZU manages to knock out my cannon. If Blue F-15Cs get in there and make it to feet wet then all kinds of Red jet trouble ensues.

WC

I was having FPS issues that day for some reason, so I didnt want to risk it..

Well, my rule of thumb for the lake is pretty much: If you don't see the water rippling behind you, you're too high.

We had a good crowd in the Back Of The Hand mission last night. Mol and Bast had a successful flight blowing up The Red Rocket Factory and got back home to enjoy the mission victory --

raven, Maclean and I had fun in Simply War. This one is shaping up to be a very good CA fight. raven was in his Huey mowing infantry while Mac and I battled it out with armor and artillery. A few more test runs and it should be good.

WC

A new player came into Hollo Pointe last night. I got a chuckle out of our conversation. ...hope he takes some time to learn his jet, and then comes back for some fun.
