DCS 2.7: Enigma's Cold War Server CSAR

[@Enigma89]

Good video, glad you are vibing with the patch / server.

[@ryu1940]

Thank you! It’s been a lot of fun!

[@fubarace1027]

I'd really like to see an proper period Cobra made for this kind of server. I'm a little surprised it hasn't already happened.

[@ryu1940]

Yeah I think everyone wants a Cobra for ECW. I would love that as an official module. Unfortunately even if the Cobra mod turned out to be really good, being a G model would not help blue out that much. I hope one day ED or a 3rd party makes a TOW capable cobra. Right now they are using the apache on the server and it just seems out of place.

[@Saguanay]

That fight with the Hip and the mini gun engagement was awesome. lol

[@ryu1940]

Haha thank you! I can’t believe it didn’t shoot it down! Lol

[@omarselim6281]

This video just popped into my recommended and I loved it. I had no idea that online play had such cool features. I mainly play offline campaigns but this has just convinced me to try out the ECW server. I hope you've made more videos like this. Just subscribed and gonna check out your channel

[@Liptonz42]

Great videos. Subbed yesterday, been watching all the videos. Enigma server seems awesome. Looking forward to more content :)

[@ryu1940]

Thank you! I’m glad you’re enjoying the channel!

[@jonwood8648]

awesome vids. im looking forward to trying these missions out.

[@ryu1940]

Thank you! This particular one was very old. It’s very different now in V2. At the moment CSAR is no longer implemented. I believe they are reworking the mechanic for the V2 version of the server.

[@WarEagle77]

Love the content and the narration of what your thinking and planning during the sorties. Keep it up.. 👍

[@ryu1940]

Thank you!

[@ovaldreamx4397]

Subbed because of this content, csar in dcs is so underrated. The 4ya modded server allowa you to do csar with the uh60 if you want to try it too

[@reubenhassell1836]

nice video, merry Christmas.

[@ryu1940]

Thank you! Merry Christmas!

[@bruh-di4ku]

Awesome video, deserves more views

[@ryu1940]

Thank you!!

[@WekBenHelix]

Great video. Do you have a recommended video or channel where I can learn more how these DCS servers work? I guess I'm struggling to put it together--they are MMO-style always-on servers? They have dynamically auto-generated objectives for all airframes/helis? Or is it just an open world and players PVP their way around organically? Or do groups of players create custom objectives? Judging by what you say at ~5 minutes, it sounds like these missions are auto-generated CSAR missions when a friendly plane goes down, but are there other objective types? Troop transport missions? Logistics/hauling missions? Scouting? Etc?

[@ryu1940]

This is a very old video so things have changed. If you look at my latest videos you can see how it’s changed. You can do troop drops, recon drops, SOF drops on larger targets like factories or ships all in a giant pvp side vs side environment.

[@ryu1940]

discord.gg/nt4Dw7Sb5u Here’s an invite link to my discord there are a lot of folks that can tell you how this particular server works. Ever server is different so you’re likely not going to find a video that overviews all of them. I can definitely help you with this particular one though. I’m mostly only flying on it.

[@WekBenHelix]

@@ryu1940 Awesome responses--thank you! Will check both out

[@ryu1940]

Awesome! Here’s a link to the last full video flying one mission on the server. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5vXqZKmi56BrMksi=l16u1F7aDk_pNKkj All the action here is what happened live as I ran my troop drop with an escorting hind

[@SpaceGaucho_]

good stuff

[@ryu1940]

Thanks!

[@ChrisAnilao]

How do you get great the great shots from your sorties on the server?

[@ryu1940]

Thank you! You need to change the .trk file to a .miz file then in the mission editor change the mission option to allow or exterior views. re-save it as a trk file and you can open in the replay mode and use external views.

[@S3NTRY]

Nice

[@ryu1940]

Thank you!

[@PtrlhdGames]

Just been doing CSAR on here and had a lot of fun. I noticed you don't get any points for doing it though.

[@chukuma4760]

Can you make a video with the gazelle on the server?

[@ryu1940]

I can try maybe next campaign. The new campaign started so this time around I’ll be flying the Hind. I’ll definitely have to relearn the Gazelle if I end up flying it because I haven’t touched it in a couple years!

[@chukuma4760]

@@ryu1940 thank you 😊

[@MrX-me6mw]

How did you manage to get those free camera shots while playing?

[@ryu1940]

You need to convert the track file to a .miz file then open it in the mission editor. Change the rules to see external views then re-save it as a .trk file. You can then open that .trk file in the replay viewer and use external views.

[@Rabies4818]

After a squad has destroyed two units, will they go on to destroy another two or do you have to extract them?

[@ryu1940]

This is the old way. Infantry kill 1 for 1 now so if you have 12 like you can carry in the hip, you will kill up to twelve enemy units if they are 4km of a drop zone. You will need to pick them up after the assault is compete and re drop them somewhere else.

[@Rabies4818]

@@ryu1940 so picking them up again will replenish them, allowing them to be dropped off elsewhere and destroy more targets?

[@ryu1940]

@@Rabies4818 yes. As long as they don’t get killed by enemy fire or by you accidentally colliding with them you can pick them up and do multiple drops. My latest video called 4 drops shows this in practice
