For those who missed this event I recorded the first map, Muttrah City from Hater's Squad perspective. Enjoy. Loved the Carrier that was renamed USS Vincent in honor of Vinny.

Count me in Hater, whatever position.

Very sorry to read this sad news, Vincent was such a fun guy to play PR with, always laughing and joking around. When this happens it makes your own issues seem trivial. Rest in peace brother.

On Charlies Point, I'm pretty sure I saw a bunch of Bots spawning then dying immediately on the backside of the hill where we usually attack the Airbase from.

Can anyone else confirm?

May I ask where you downloaded your PR files from?

It's because you shoot the laser out of your....gentleman's area. If your lower half is in cover you won't see the lase yourself but it will still be showing correctly for other people. It's a bug since 1.5.0. 

Well I've got bad news for you too, it doesn't matter whether I'm hiding behind an obstacle or standing out in the open, the green square that is usually present when I laze is not always there. I know its a bug and I made a comment on the PR forums but they ignored it due to the fact that the devs are only interested in whether the lase does not stick to a vehicle when it goes behind a building. Anyway just reporting that this latest update has not fixed that bug.

GTLD laser still does not show up on screen when lazing a target, very random.

So when do I get my Topgun wings....?

You get your wings from this restaurant, special delivery.

I assumed we would be able to create squads on the day but if we need to formally declare a Squad Leader position, I'll volunteer to lead one of them Keed.

Question: How many in a squad?   D 'Oh I just read its 8.

Question 2: What kits do we have access to?

Squad Call Sign: Alpha Group

Nice. Well if he needs a headtracking system let me know and I can get a discount code for him..

That's very generous of you Sandstorm, Death has a Thrustmaster HOTAS 4, so if anyone has a profile or keyfile that will help him get airborne quicker that would be appreciated.

Was on last night. We've got =VG= Deathdealer gearing up to play Falcon 4.0 BMS.

How about tomorrow night? So that will be 12:30am here which is 14:00 ZULU I think. Should online all night.

Found a nice video on Youtube of someone doing a great job of VTOL on a carrier with a Harrier in DCS.

Nice vertical landing from the side at : 12:34, perfect example.

Ran All Kashan Desert maps including INF version and no issues. So far no crashes today.

if you switch between them the dead screen will most likely occur on load up. This is also why you can not play muttrah and fallujah as they switch between the factions.

Hi guys,

I've been working with Scubbo who is the owner of the GDO Coop Server, and a Network Engineer. He's implemented my maplist rotation program on his server, and so far the server has run 24 hours without a crash, not counting the induced Karbala Coop Alt map which still crashes to desktop.

We are running Kashan Desert all maps without crashes so far, we can run Muttrah and Fallujah maps consecutively, I'm still testing so will try out all the above scenarios.

Scubbo settled on rotating the first five seeding maps on server reset they are:

mapList.append muttrah_city_2 gpm_coop 64
mapList.append jabal gpm_coop 32
mapList.append bamyan gpm_coop 64
mapList.append kashan_desert gpm_coop 128
mapList.append fallujah_west gpm_coop 64

The main reason for the implementation was to randomly change the start map from Muttrah to anyone of these five, that appears to be working well.

A by product has been that the server no longer crashes as regularly as it did, and we do not know the reason why other than its done it since the map rotation program was used. I did modify it from the original that Semler and Double have seen but its a minor change.

We're still monitoring it to see whether it crashes on other maps. Just setting it to Kashan Desert Canadian version to see whether it crashes.

Thanks for the list, its handy to know.

Ok thanks CobaltUK. So what should the status of the base be for us to successfully frag a package? Bleak is not good, Poor is that slightly better?

Hello to the BMS gurus out there!

The BMS server is bloody hopeless, unable to frag a package from any of the airbases.

The one package I did manage to frag at Osan got canceled,

Not saying you didn't use a legit copy but I do know that several people had trouble installing and connecting because they used a pirated copy of Falcon 4.0

There's no excuse when the price for this old program is still only around US$6.00. Make that US$4.19, its on special till 13 Feb.

I also had trouble connecting after I fiddled with the IVC server connections (dont ask), in the end the only solution was to remove the game and do a total -re-install. Worked first time every time!

Spartanish and me tested Karbala out when the first update came out, it was fine then. Once the patches arrived it causes CTD, so the devs are fixing some issues and introducing others.

Whoooooffff that shit ain't cheap. I'm pretty sure now she'll back out.

Damn straight it ain't cheap, that translates to roughly $800.00 in Australian currency!

I also use a Logitech Extreme 3D PRO joystick when I fly in Project Reality, its a lot more nimble to use and you don't require all the extra buttons and switches.

Regarding HOTAS setups, I had a CH Fighterstick/Pro Throttle/Pro Pedals set up for years. However, I had my eye on the Warthog, but shied away at the price. I caught a sale on Amazon for $339 and couldn't resist. OMG, what a difference! I used to have trouble air to air refueling (still not easy), but the first time I flew with the Warthog I connected and got a full load the first time! If you find out you love BMS, save your money and get the Warthog, I promise you won't regret it!

Welcome to the Warthog Club bro, it is indeed an amazing rig to fly with.

Man if your wife is serious, you are gonna be working your ass off to pay for this expensive HOTAS Warthog Joystick & Throttle rig that I use.

We saw Sandstorm for a brief time today. Do you guys ever get in the VG BMS room to form up before jumping in the sim? Trilogy and I have been doing that. We typically start flying around 19:30 GMT time (2:30pm EST).  V

At that time I'd probably only have 1.5 hours time to fly a mission if you guys were on earlier we'd have more time. I used to sit in TS while I was online but don't anymore because it adds another program that can crash my game, so I now log into the VG server and chat in the lobby (F1), or on VHF preset 1 if I'm already in a cockpit.

Karbala STD and ALT (not tried INF) been causing server to crash and clients CTD.

Not surprised there's bugs with that map considering the new Polish faction they added.
