Rampant Bear would be a good test of Gameplan, since it can easily go over 24 hours.

Or a mission with a long ingress route (& refueling) with a flight plan that could not be deviated from because of threats. But maintenance openings in air defense coverage could provide scheduled windows of opportunity for strikes. EinsteinEP theorized a harsh penalty for going out side of the flight path - execution. OTOH, a team can build points by completing tasks. I am pretty darn sure that a Client A-10C cannot trigger a flag by entering a trigger zone, so the Client pilots have to destroy things in order for the programming to recognize their presence, as far as event triggers go. So than means that Einstein's theory doesn't work.

(We should get an answer on that soon.)


Expanded - Both Red and Blue teams can build points. Can Gameplan separate out the coalitions so Red can't see Blue? I haven't tried Gameplan yet.

Here is a long ingress mission with refuel. I played it once and actually enjoyed it. Felt part of an op protecting the ground forces. Over the short time I tried it out I really enjoyed it. I do need to spend some more time with it but should be a fun mission to put in the rotation.

PMike, we'll pick that up - I see it is made public on DCS. Thanks for the link.

Yeah looks awesome!

I'm on now - 5:45 Eastern - for an hour or so on Enos server if anyone's up for some splosions.

Oh noooooo! Connection Interrupted! The Tors were dead and everything!

I think it had been running straight since yesterday morning. Wonder if that's why...

Yeah it just dropped all of a sudden. We had the run of the place, I don't think there was any anti air other than ZU/ZSUs and MANPADS. Sun was just coming up too. It's actually the first time I had enjoyed Nuke Plant, since I wasn't getting pasted It was fun tangling with the Tor too, he was easy to pick out with that fast spinning radar, and the 65Ds were able to outrage him too, not sure by how much but it was enough.

Jette and I were in it last evening. We restarted it after about 23 hours and took the low hanging fruit - Nuke Plants 1 & 2. By that time it was late for us. Before work today I checked it to see Evil888 in after about 8 hours - he was pounding ZSU's but was OK for a restart at 0800 Colorado time. I'll go there now and restart the server again.

This is the second time I got into the server and saw Steam up... no DCS.

Yeah I'll post an update on that. It looks like the new server got started up on a different user- Basically I am able to run A-10 on one user, switch users to another user and then the computer can be used for other programs... this has been working for awhile.

I've sent crew a quick note regarding this so that it doesn't happen again. Not sure what caused the crash- may have been multiple server instances running- may have just been because the server got started on the wrong user to begin with in windowed mode and another program got started... causing a crash- which is a pretty well known issue with the server side. It doesn't play well with others.

I'm leaving it run now- because the young lad has a game going that doesn't work properly in my user because of where he saves files... and I couldn't drop the server because there were a few people in there. He's going to bed soon anyway so once that happens I'll get back in there- deliver a warning to those in the Eno server... and make the switch.


Sorry about the confusion.
