~S~ All,
There’s a possibility of DCS World on Thursday. If people are interested let me know and I will get to work on the Training map and make sure that I add the right aircraft so that everyone can fly. Just let me know if you’re going to join and what modules you have
I currently have:
[ul]
[li]FC3 aircraft (F-15C, Mig-29, Su-27, A-10A, Su25 etc.)
[/li][li]A-10C
[/li][li]Blackshark II
[/li][li]Mirage 2000C
[/li][li]F-86
[/li][li]P-51D
[/li][li]Huey
[/li][/ul]
I’d like to join on thursday.
My list:
P51
FW190
Sabre
Mig 15
Mig 21
Huey
A10C
FC3
Though I haven’t flown DCS for while now and still have issues with my throttle, I have to set up my controls. Therefore I now prefer to fly the P51 or Sabre.
I also plan to join in on thursday.
My stable:
P51
FW190
Sabre
A10C
FC3
Like Pax I haven’t really set up my controls, so P-51 and/or Sabre sounds good for me as well.
I wish I had time to set up to fly the FC3 planes and A10 as well, but I really doubt that will happen anytime soon.
Probably a toss up between the F-86 and the P-51D, based on what we all seem to have. I really like both, think I prefer the F-86. If you want to know what the P-51D is like you have the TF-51 for free, it just has no ammo load outs. Flies the same though.
The Flaming Cliffs 3 aircraft are the easiest to fly and work out, as they are not fully moddled, systems wise. They’re all modern though.
Is there anything in particular that people would like to do?
We could just join a server and see what happens, but seeing as we don’t fly it very often it may be better to start off slowly. I’m happy to tweak the mission I have been working on to include all of the aircraft listed, we can shoot at each other or the AI, I can add ground targets too. I’ll take out most of the AAA as it is designed around the A-10C and Ka-50 more than anything at the moment - and it’s easy to take them out with the missiles, less so with machine guns!
I’m hoping to get an hour or so to work on it this evening, so let me know and I’ll see what I can incorporate into it.
EDIT: I’ve posted on the SoW forum about this, see if we can get a few more in.
~S~ All,
Got a bit of a plan coming together, so 54 might be interested, Dixon may also be making an appearance too!
I’m thinking I can put together a bit of a ‘combined arms’ type thing, so we can all have a go at blowing something up! I can put in some AI aircraft for if we stray too far off course and we can all come togher and blow each other up at some point if we want to!
As a result I may start a mission from scratch, but it shouldn’t take me too long.
I think we should meet up on the SoW TS so that anyone can join in. I plan to be on from 19:00 - all being well so I will have a server live. I will put a password on it, so it’s not open to everyone, but I can give this out on TS or in the forums.
I’ll put stuff in for helicopters, modern stuff and the older stuff, so there will be a range of targets. I won’t put SAMs in!
It’s all about having a but of fun and seeing how we all get on with DCS really.
P.S Great to see you Spug! Hopefully it can be a regular thing and you can go through OTU!
Mission has been created. It includes the following aircraft:
[ol]
[li]F-86
[/li][li]P-51D
[/li][li]TF-51D
[/li][li]Mig-15
[/li][li]Fw190
[/li][li]Bf109
[/li][li]Ka50
[/li][li]Mi-8
[/li][li]Huey
[/li][li]Mirage 2000
[/li][/ol]
There are AI aircraft linked to trigger zones. Fly into the zone and they will air spawn nearby.
There are ground targets to destroy - basic convoys. They may have AAA cover.
I have added an in-flight refuelling tanker too…not sure why, only the Mirage can use it and I have no idea how!!
Well, I’m going to pleased as punch to finally get some stick-time in good company! Looking forward to meeting some new folks, and saying a long overdue howdy to some old pals.
I’m just setting up my side-by-side installs for DCS (because there’s no way I’m re-downloading Nevada at 28Gb!), so should be good for any action. I think the impromptu creation of a formation flying team used to be a speciality of the 79 during my time there, be interesting to see if such shenanigans are still common.
Ok got the F86…still gonna have to get to grips with it, but looking forward to the change of scenery flying DCS, should be a laugh if nothing else:roflmao:
The basics and start up procedure aren’t that difficult of the F86.
For a button and switches fettish you’ll need the Mig 21 and not to speak off the A-10C.
You can find a lot of training videos for the Sabre on You Tube
