Brett Sinclair Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 (edited) Hello 104th Phoenix pilots,I am new to DCS World (but I spent quite some time in FSX and SF2). Having learned the very basics of the Su-27 (which I bought a few days ago along with the F-15C), I'd like to take a look into multiplayer - and your server apparently is the place to go.However, is there any guide for newbies on this server? Am I right in supposing there is no AWACS on this server, a pilot has to rely on his aircaft's sensors only? And which TS3 subchannel do I have to join?Thank you. Best regards,Brett Edited June 26, 2016 by Brett Sinclair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octuplefire Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Hello Brett and welcome to DCS!.We don't really have a guide for newbies, I would say just make sure you're aware of how to IFF and always check the briefing as it will have all the information/rules you need.No AWACS currently, so it is down to your aircraft sensors or team mates to find the enemy. However all our missions have waypoint 1 as bullseye for fighters and it's generally where the fight is, so you shouldn't get lost.In regards to TeamSpeak, we have channels dedicated for the server labeled Blue/Red [Air 2 Air] or [Air 2 Ground] but you may join any channel you wish appropriate to what you're doing. On a final note our server has a lot of experienced pilots, so don't be disheartened if you find yourself getting shot down a lot in the first few weeks, it's a steep learning curve in multiplayer. If you really struggle and I'm in TS feel free to msg me with any queries.Hope you enjoy!Octuplefire S! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Sinclair Posted June 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Thank you for your reply, Octuplefire.I'll try my best. I found the TS subchannels now.I try not to be disheartened - at least now I know why I suddently lose my wings (unlike a few days ago).Just another question: My missile range (AMRAAM or R-27) seems rather low (LA at 20 km usually). Is it down to the low altitude (thick air), subsonic speeds and little to no altitude advantage over the target (in comparison to the Wikipedia values, stating roughly 100km)?

Octuplefire Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Missile ranges is a huge talking point for every that flies and everyone has different opinions that normally end in arguments. What wiki is stating is probably under idea conditions against a non manoeuvring target, we'll never know as it's all classified.In game tho, going up against players who knows you are there and is ready to defend against you, you'll normally need to fire under 10nm. This still can be defeated but is normally when guys fire.Hope this helps,Octuplefire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Sinclair Posted June 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Thank you for your reply.That's fine then. I wondered if I did something wrong with my missile range - unlike others.Best regards,Brett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
