I’m watching Thiem v. Tsonga, that might take a while.

Victork2 · October 22, 2019, 5:28pm

schurem · October 22, 2019, 6:56pm

You hang in there mate, I have the fighter pilot podcast and il2, almost as good company as you are.

We had a good Erl Sis mission on Hollo Pointe last night. That mission can go 2-6 hours and offers a variety of planes, including Combined Arms. We had a regular crowd on Discord for comms, and some others joined in the mission.
Erl Sis is a popular Caucasus mission - and it is often running on HP. Just jump on in to it and have a go. Use the F10 Radio Menu to restart the mission if desired.
DarkStar is making a nice pattern here -

Going to see if I can’t make it next week. I am rusty as heck on pretty much every DCS aircraft at the moment

NEVO · October 29, 2019, 9:06pm

I am online

smokinhole · October 29, 2019, 10:51pm

This is kind of a big thread. Are you all meeting on Hollo Point? Mudspike Discord? Thanks.

Franze · October 29, 2019, 11:20pm

We tend to use the Hollo Pointe discord, servers alternate between Hollo Pointe and Hollo Pointe North, depending on the crowd and mission.

NEVO · October 29, 2019, 11:24pm

I was online on MS discord, dying on Blue Flag

smokinhole · October 30, 2019, 5:29pm

I’ll try to catch you all next time. @NEVO, what side have you been flying on BF?

NEVO · October 30, 2019, 10:19pm

I was on BF Persian Gulf under ‘Northern Blue Coalition’ Like that map and like to do support role in Hip.
Didnt play on BF Caucasus for some time so I am there as spectator ready to choose any side.

Btw I am up for any night, it doesnt have to be Tuesday.

I’ve been Red in the F-18 and AV8. I really like the AV8. F-18 is a little less fun now that it is so slow relative to the F-16. Only fair I guess but I had no idea how slow the Hornet is. Anyway, with the Mirage about to get some new artwork, its time to go Blue.

Roo · November 1, 2019, 1:31am

Tomcat will solve all your problems. The speed of a Viper and carrier landings of a Hornet, plus a manly weapons system. Need I say more?

schurem · November 1, 2019, 10:47am

You mean the sheila in back? Yeah that has those newfangled digital gizmo’s beat for sure!

smokinhole · November 1, 2019, 2:46pm

Nope. But after shooting down a friendly with a Phoenix that went maddog, I said, “never again without a human RIO.” And human RIOs are about as common as fluffy unicorns.

Roo · November 1, 2019, 6:01pm

I’ll take a Sheila over a computer any day! Er, yeah…move along, nothing to see here.

Wes · November 1, 2019, 7:09pm

This is common in MP, even with the Hornet and AIM-120s.

ARH missiles, at least in DCS shouldn’t be used Danger Close with friendless in the mix, from my experience.

Using Sparrows you can still have a friendly cross the radar track and become the target, but you can at least cancel the STT and let it hopefully miss.

I’d say close for a Sidewinder, but I’ve been shot down by friendly fire with those too.

WreckingCrew · November 2, 2019, 2:26am

I just fired up Discord but it doesn’t show on screen … ?

Franze · November 2, 2019, 2:27am

I see you on WC.
