    Oh and we never know, maybe squad will support it someday  :lol: and then in the future get an actual track ir to use with the good looking stainless steel clip.

    Multiple channels per squad - A trivial thing

    in Enhanced Server Information And Discussion

    My thoughts on this previously - http://www.ahoyworld.co.uk/topic/4565-the-radio-channels-discussion-topic/

     

    In short, neither system is perfect, especially for players who haven't played together extensively.

     

    It's probably easier to stick everyone on the same channel if you're dealing with new players.  But that essentially takes away any role for the Team leader, other than being a fallback if the Squad Leader gets killed.

    I really shouldve checked for another post..... XD

    Multiple channels per squad - A trivial thing

    in Enhanced Server Information And Discussion

    Posted

    First of all I know EU3 is not a "Mil sim" server, and this is very trivial I just want the best experience for everyone and a good old discussion.

     

    So I've been gone for a little while with little activity, I've come back in the last few days to find that people in general have been using multiple channels for each squad, e.g.    General-100  Alpha1-110 Alpha2-120

     

    In the past (to my knowlage anyway) when the server has a normal player count only one frequency is used, and in some low player count situations where less than a squad e.g. only alpha 1 and alpha 2 were on seperate channels were used.

    In my opinion having seperate channels is just complicating things for people forcing them to set up alternatives and also forcing teamleads to have to communicate every thing to there fireteam. (Although this may be a good thing). Anyway this all depends on how the squad lead or command element wants to do it and I respect that.

     

    Whats your opinion? How do you do your squads channels, and why?

    Again this is a very trivial topic and should not be takin to seriously.

     

    Have a good day! (or night)  :lol:

     

    ***EDIT*** This may be in the wrong subthread  :unsure:

    Most frequently flown/best plane for getting into dcs?

    in PC Gaming

    Posted

    Just wondering what you guys fly the most frequently in DCS and what dlc I should buy first. :)

     

    I've been looking at the F-15c, A-10c, Su-27 and the flaming cliffs DLC, I personally am not a big fan of russian and Post WW2/ WW2 aircraft. (Except for the Su-27). DCS dlc is on sale most going for €8 euro with Flaming and A-10c going for €22.

     

    Thanks!!!

     

    *Edit*   Just realised Su-27 and F-15c are both included with Flaming cliffs.   *Edit*

    Errr, no, it's this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Thrustmaster-Hotas-Warthog-Joystick-Throttle/dp/B00371R8P4

     

    Built specifically for the A-10 in DCS but of course you can use it with other stuff too. Any joystick would be fine for it but I'd suggest one with throttle controls and rudder on twist. The Saitek Fly 5 is a good one, it's been out a while though, it was first called the Cyborg X. It's got a hat switch in the centre so that would be useful for targeting pods etc. I think most joysticks come with hat switches though!

    Yea thats what I thought at first. Completely out of my budget, the saetek one looks good but id like to have a throttle aswell

    That looks awesome solex, how much did you spend on that XD

    One note on trackir, be prepared to get the pro clip new as they break very easily, I'd say over half of users have it covered in tape!

    Several members have the Thrustmaster HOTAS, it's of good build quality and allows you a lot of function at your fingertips which is really good. Pedals are a good addition but I wouldn't class them as essentials.

    Thanks for the response! http://www.amazon.co.uk/Thrustmaster-T-Flight-Hotas-Joystick-PS3/dp/B001CXYMFS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1446315500&sr=8-1&keywords=thrustmaster+hotas+x < is this it? Looks good, any of your pilots have any DIY headtrackers etc. (freetrack etc.) and how were there experienses?

    I'm looking to get into DCS, I'm wondering what equipment is essential and any recommended pieces of equipment, Joysticks, throttles full hotas, pedals etc.

     

    I'm looking to get a trackir second hand as a christmas present to myself (or maybe a bit earlyer).

    I currently own a logitech attack 3 (witch i doubt will cut it) and a very primitive DIY 3 degree headtracker(which broke down recently).

    All of which I use to play Warthunder Sim.

     

    Thanks!  :)
