Weds Night Thunder in da Jungle [DCS] [Vietnam aircraft]

This Weds night 2025-03-13T00:00:00Z @Maico and I are going to tryout the Into the Jungle sandbox, beginning with the OH-6A. Casual ad-hoc flying and perhaps group missions. All MUDSPIKE pilots, WSOs, CPGs, and crew chiefs invited. Available aircraft:

  • A-4E-C Skyhawk
  • C-47F Chinook
  • OV-10A Bronco
  • F-4E45MC Phantom II
  • F-5E-3 Tiger II
  • OH-58D Kiowa
  • OH-6A Cayuse
  • UH-1H Huey

There are a number of required mods. You probably already have @EightBall and Tobi’s awesome OH-6A along with the associated Vietnam asset pack, as well as the A-4E-C. The others don’t take much time to get, but if you are having trouble, reply to this thread. I’m going to put the server up tomorrow for testing. Need it tonight for some video editing.

REQUIED MODS

I’ll put the server details here once it is up and tested tomorrow.

Working overtime on Wednesday, but that will let me get all the mods squared away for the next one.

Server is up.

Server name: MUDSPIKE | INTO THE JUNGLE
Password: mudspikeFTW
Max players: 16
IP address: 98.48.181.28
Port: 10308
Public
Current mission: Into_the_Jungle_v2_011
Comms: MS Discord

I’ve connected and flown around a bit in the Loach. Be advised that if you fly slowly over the bad guys near the lake, they will light you up :laughing:.

I need to read the 8 pages of ED thread first, Into the Jungle - Next Gen, but I have these notes and questions for the dev.

  • Spawning into one of the first two OH-6A spots at Antonio you will find them with a rotor blade missing. Not so if you spawn in at the jungle forward base.
  • Why are the bad guys are dressed more like Spetsnaz than indigenous Vietnamese circa 1967.
  • When you are shot down and the CSAR script is triggered, should you be able to see yourself on the ground?
  • Does having the server automatically pause when no players are connected impact the mission?

Back when I know.

No worries Lee. It would be very late for you anyway. I’m traveling Friday and Sat, but maybe we can get a session going on Sunday.

If it’s up, I could grab 2 or 3 of my dudes and stress test for you if you like.

Please do M21. I’m not clear on how the CSAR works, so would be interested in any feedback.

Good gameplay video…

I tried the server. THe OH-6 was shaking very violently. I could not fly it. The UH-1 spawned wrecked.
Sorry

If you spawn the OH-6A at Antonio in any slot, one of the rotor blades is missing. Later in the mission that gets fixed. Spawn OH-6A at Jungle FARP** no problem. The 2 x asterisk denote MASH units for CSAR pilot drop. Not sure about the Huey.

Where did that happen? Will ask about it in the ED forum.

Checking the forum’s time/date auto-conversion, this is Wed. 8pm EST?

Yes. I’m trying to solve the spawn issue with the Loach at Antonio, but if unsuccessful, we’ll just ignore that down point for that aircraft.

Im sorry, i dont remember where i tried the Huey.

Thanks. I removed all non essential mods last night, but not joy. Has to be something simple. The same exact mods on my gaming rig work fine in SP mode.

I am sorry. I dont know much about multiplayer, but with all due respect, I think its too complicated with all the mods. Its fine with the Aircraft but when you add on static objects and other stuff… Maybe a bit much… IDK…

No worries at all. I decided to do a foundational rebuild of the server, because it looks like ED has changed it quite a bit since I did the original install. I wanted to move it to a new SSD anyway. See you on Discord tonight. Should have it up and running by then.

I Really Apreciate you going through all this trouble. Im skating out of here asap. Looking forward to joining you on the Server today.
I believe its time for me to fly!

And… im late. My apologies

Online!

Time-zone wise I could have made it except I forgot I have an online research interview appointment this morning :sweat_smile:
