Flyboy

Got to fly it a little today before I go off to work for 6 days. It's ok, same frustrating (though maybe a little improved?) control setup. Graphics aren't bad in VR. I was getting 45 fps with DLSS OpenXR quality setting. Better than the original IL2 but I can't say it's better than DCS. Flies ok but difficult in dogfight against an F-80 (I was in Mig-15). Seemed to tie into my AB9 force feedback but Moza doesn't have a config for it yet so it needs tuning. Overall though controls aren't the best. Basically the same setup as what IL2 does. No clickable cockpit and didn't get to mess with the command wheel much but same basic complicated wonky control setups needed for oil/water radiators, superchargers etc etc that you find in IL2 WW2 that is more difficult to manage because of no clickable cockpit. Maybe you can setup each plane, but I didn't see that option. There is a quick start setup where you can choose a quick mission and parameters similar to the old IL2 but mission editor isn't on the main menu as far as I can tell. I dread that it's too similar to the old IL2 and might have to download a mission editor etc? Anyway that is just my quick take with maybe 15-20 min flying and 30 min messing with control setup.

And creating scripts using AI is a game changer.

I have it now but haven't flown it. Fatal really likes it. I put it on my mission and training maps. Spud Spike posted some training vids recently that I'm hoping to watch this weekend.

Welcome! Yes you may be interested in this unique scenario we are planning so feel free to join us at our next “open house” testing this Friday and Saturday (come to one or both as you can). I put together a players guide in English, German and Russian and you can find more info here:

Check the post link above for the plane set. I’ll be adding the F-100 since it’s out now. My server is usually active anytime and most of the time it has the training map up. I don’t think I have a password now but if there is it is usually jg1. Server Name: Flyboy's TeamOps | Fox3ms.com V9-72 IP Address: 147.135.72.72 Port: 10308

Before totally giving up on DCS you should try it with us sometime. I’ve got a really cool mission event setup just starting to promote. We will be doing a practice on it tomorrow night at 2100 ET

PLAYER TIP — SMOKE SIGNAL COLORS - Blue smoke: Blue coalition extraction signal (downed pilot or special unit) - Red smoke: Red coalition extraction signal (downed pilot or special unit) - Orange smoke: Target marker — FAC target or JTAC ground designation Simple rule: coalition color = come pick something up; orange = target marked.

I fly DCS and IL2 WW1 Flying Circus. I recommend all 4 of the FC modules especially when they come on sale but at least the first 2 to get started. Someone else will have to speak to WW2 modules.

Well I will take a look at it at least when it comes out.

Updates: - Updated the OP to include info on TeamOps Syria YK2 information Multi Training Cold War Caucasus 2.212 - Defensive units placed at Krymsk and Krasnodar Center (short range AAA and IR SAMs) - Deleted all AWACS aircraft. This will help de-clutter the skies and now you have to rely on info from ground based radar only, so it is possible to use terrain masking to hid from bandits (human bandits at least).

TeamOps Syria YK2 is a structured PvP campaign event hosted on the Fox3 Server. Two organized teams — each led by a player commander — compete across multiple scheduled event days to win the map. Persistence carries between sessions: territory, supply, and ground force positions all carry forward from one event day to the next. The campaign ends when one team controls the theater or time runs out. This is not a drop-in public server. It is a set-time, set-team event with real stakes and a campaign outcome. ───────────────────────────────────── Player's Guide The Players Guide is attached here and covers everything: roles, menus, rules, scoring, logistics, commander responsibilities, and strategy. Reading it before your first session will save you a lot of confusion. Includes English and Russian versions. ───────────────────────────────────── Open Testing and Familiarization Sessions Before campaign play begins I am running open fly sessions so players can learn the mission at their own pace. These are no-pressure learning sessions — try the menus, fly a role, ask questions. I will be on the server in the Admin position to direct traffic and answer questions in real time.

See you on the server. — JG1_Flyboy ───────────────────────────────────── Changelog TeamOps Syria YK2 Players Guide — Changelog Version 2026-06-01 (updated from 2026-05-22) Gameplay Rule Changes (Script v1.054) Zone capture — attacker count: At least one attacker must be inside the capture zone, but the full 4:1 ratio now counts all your managed ground units anywhere in the defense zone — not just those in the inner capture zone. Units that have pushed through count toward the ratio. Recon markers last 45 minutes (previously 30 minutes). Recon zones can be re-reconned after a 20-minute cooldown. New markers replace old ones on RTB and the 45-minute clock resets. Points are awarded for each refresh pass. Special unit scan and action timers (scan start, countdown, completion) are now broadcast to the entire coalition. Tac Commanders and JTAC-position players will see these messages without needing the deploying pilot to relay them. Tac Commander — preserving Z defenders: Groups moved outside the defense zone before capture now survive and are preserved for the next event day in a nearby friendly zone. Newly captured zones reset immediately to supply level 1 with a level-1 defensive group for the capturing side. Aircraft Changes Blue — OH-58D Kiowa confirmed as FAC aircraft. Blue — SA342M Gazelle added as anti-tank helicopter (carries HOT-3 missiles). Not a FAC aircraft — anti-armor role only. Red — Mi-24P Hind added as anti-armor assault helicopter (carries AT-6 Shturm missiles). Not a FAC aircraft — direct fire support role only. L-39C and C-101EB removed (not used in this event). Rule Clarifications and Corrections Commander staging placements are available in any zone your coalition owns or has captured — GH zones, Kiryat Shmona, Rosh Pina, Al Harah, and any other held territory. Not limited to GH zones. FAC workflow description corrected — scan populates a target list; player selects target and chooses Mark, Smoke, or both. Markers appear after RTB, not instantly. Recon aircraft map markers clarified throughout to distinguish from FAC marks. Peace phase clarified: ground kills cost team points. Neutral airspace violations remain active in War phase. Ground units in Peace phase may move within limits (same as Waiting phase). Special unit command corrected: any coalition player can issue orders to already-deployed teams via the Special Units menu; loading, deploying, and extracting teams requires a logistics helicopter. New Content End-of-day force disposition reports — at the close of each event day, commanders and teams receive a force disposition report for planning the next session. Distributed by admin before the next event. Recon markers now include a timestamp — check it to gauge how current the intel is. Added note on Special Missions: read the tasking orders carefully before committing — each mission has specific objectives and rules. RealRadar script explained — limits radar contacts to realistic line-of-sight coverage including for Tac Commander and JTAC positions. My Stats example added showing actual in-game display format with abbreviation key. Page number additions, layout improvements, and minor wording corrections throughout.

Rise of the robots (and AI)

Wouldn’t it be better to use Venmo or set up a gofundme?

I’m gong to try it hopefully in next couple days. I sent it to Luck as he is developing a quick mission generator I’m helping him test so it might be useful in his project also.

Sorry to hear this
