Now that we have accurate QFEs to use, it is useful to know that you can work out the QNH yourself from that, as long as you know the altitude of the airport. Useful Rule of thumb: 1mb is 30 feet. Divide airport altitude (in feet) by 30 feet. Add resultant number of millibars onto the QFE that you are given. Then you have QNH. If you are doing Instrument approaches you would want to add a safety margin onto the DA because it is a rule of thumb, not 100% accurate. For Example airport 600ft amsl. QFE reported as 990mb. 600 divided by 30 equals 20. Therefore air pressure is 20mb lower than at sea level. QFE provided is 990mb, therefore QNH is 1010mb.

ME Survival Upgrade Pack v.0.1 Please regard this code as 'beta'. This is a collection of some code snippets put together to allow you to do Copy & Paste in 1.1.0.8. ED may be kind enough to include some of the basic features in a future version. Requires: DCS:A-10C 1.1.0.8 Major features: - Multiple selectable groups for copy & paste. LCTRL+C = Copy LCTRL+V = Paste LCTRL+X = Cut Other minor feature fixes: - Grouplist stays onscreen while working in map, instead of dissapearing when you accidently click in the map. You should now close yourself when you dont want it on screen anymore. - Air & Helo groups will now remember the name instead of reverting to "New Air/Helo Group" every time you create a new group. Copy & Paste features: Supported: - Air, Helo, Static, Ship, Vehicle - any kind of types of groups at any time. Not supported: - Navpoints, bullseye, TriggerZones, cyclones. LEFT SHIFT = modifier for paste. Will paste all groups to the same coords. You will notice the Ruler change into a single point, or multiple points depending on SHIFT state. You can cut / copy units - then delete them - and paste them back in. Units which have been deleted by (X) stay in memory if you copied them before deletion. ------------------------------------------ If you have problems, try this: - Select first group. - Hold LEFT SHIFT while selecting more groups, one by one. - Release SHIFT. - Copy, using LCTRL+C - Release CTRL and C. - Move the mouse to a new location. - Optional: Hold LSHIFT, for a focused paste, with CTRL+V if you want to paste to *one* location. - LCTRL+V for regular paste. ------------------------------------------ Known issues: FEATURE, not a bug: - Allows groups to be pasted over terrain they do not belong to. Not planning to fix this yet. Worst problem would be drowning static units or other funny ingame events. (PS, ships on lakes wont work in SIM due to SIM-code). You're the designer - you can deal with it. - You need to do a COPY before doing a PASTE. Doing COPY, then PASTE PASTE won't work right now due to unforseen problems when COPY & PASTE text in other TEXT-boxes. Minor Issues: - Air & Helo: Waypoints are not snapped to airfield for TAKEOFF and LANDING. You need to readjust these yourself. - Vehicles: Route on road needs to be recalculated. Drag and drop route to reset waypoints. ------------------------------------------ You cannot report bugs to ED while having this mod installed. This MOD may break your MISSIONS. Make sure you have backups of your missions while working on them. However, you can report bugs to me regarding ME:SUP fixes. Please attach the ME.log when you report an issue. - Please report step by step what you did to produce the problem. - Please attach pictures to describe the problem. - Please attach the mission you were working on. ------------------------------------------ Download: - Modman package attached. You'll need the Modman 7.3 patch. Attached here - just need a few reports if it is working for people. DCS-ME-SUP-0.1.zip

Amazing video!!! Incredible video shot by a passenger aboard a commercial flight, a French fighter standing in close formation with an Airbus A320 for a while. This is what happened to flight Vueling VY8366, accruing from Malaga (AGP / LEMG) and to Amsterdam Schiphol (EMS / EHAM), after losing communications with Control Paris met a nice surprise in the form of a Mirage 2000C de l'Armée de l'Air a few feet away, with a mission to identify the plane and try to verify their intentions. Regards!!

Гора, Муха :megalol:

Ты че реально туп? Может ты мне подскажешь как отправить запись не выйдя с сервера? Муха попросил трек, я вышел и отправил ему запись.

OK I think I have solved my problem. Combination of two things. one: need EPLRS equipped JTACs now so I changed the units I was using to ones with EPLRS. two:In previous build I could contact JTAC whilst still on the ground and receive data. in the new build it seems that there is a weight on wheels block on data. After takeoff SADL kicks in and data will come through to the TAD. Works for me now I understand changes. thanks for the ideas guys. Bungle I read that the co-ords miles away problem can be caused by the cursor in the TAD being far from your aircrafts position when you are talking to JTAC. Worth trying. GH

ENG: Hmmm Sry but i have work on this model with combatace and when i see the 33 thread on the russian forum and this one... Why don't you ask us about using it? Why don't you said directly to him what do you think about this model? We know this model was not perfect, the objective was to make a great model for the community, not a perfectly accurate one, that's the first model of Combatace, and he make a lot of simmers happy i think. So i have no more words to said. Excuse me for the disturbance :thumbup: PS: Is that again a Zmodeler import?

Agree 100% with Jeff. For what its worth.

I bet you forgot to make your point SPI(TMS Fwd Long), and then you should slave MAVs After - MAVs will be positioned on a point you made, try Force corelate mode(if the distance is good) or just slew a little bit

Не скажу что много, на Бентли и Канары еле-еле хватает (говорят, в Куршавеле устрицы подорожали, тестеры туда перестали ездить, приходится экономить).

Toggle the Mav from a non-tracked state to a tracked state via TMS Fwd Short.

Wow, just wow. How rude & opinionated could one post be is response to someone trying to help. Unless I'm mistaken this thread is about improving the MP environment, in anyway possible, not just your interpretation Tyger. I'm very surprised at the tone and attitude of you post. :(

This is JUST commentary on the server browser. I could probably write up 2x more stuff on the interface for once a player joins the server, but lets just ignore that part for today. Disclaimer: I LOVED hyperlobby. Oddly I spent more time in HL than I probably did in multiplayer of LO. However at least half the time I spent in HL was spent with the mission editor open on the the other monitor working on a mission. This is why I loved HL. The discussions, the transfer of ideas, and meeting players I probably wouldn't have interacted with normally via the actual game or the forums. Current Server Browser Issues I see three major problems that are all directly linked to one another in preventing the server browser from taping its full potential. These issues are as follows: A. Its locked inside the game. B. Its not community driven. You can't see who else is logged in or who is in a server. C. Its static. The user can't sort by server title, mission title, ping, or current player count. Important Factors 1. We are a small community when compared to other games. As a result knowing who is online in game and who is online looking for a game are both important details. 2. This is a complex game. These forums are covered with threads of players asking for help or of players providing help. These threads cover everything from avionics, to how to fly, and mission editor help. How would I change things? Knowing what I dislike and what I think are important factors here is what I would do. First we start off by making the server browser an external application from the flight sim. It could be a website or a exe, just as long as its not chained into the game engine. Next add chat and a list of players online in the chatroom and a list of players online in a game. A chatroom is beneficial to the two important factors listed above. Primarily it allows users to join a community portal that serves multiple purposes. These purposes range from pre or post game discussion, gameplay help, mission editor help, and general purpose discussion. Chatroom also has private messaging capability and clicking on a players name who is in game allows you to display info for the server they are currently in. Furthermore players are more likely to ask if anyone is interested in creating or joining a server if there is someone else there to ask. In the current setup you could open up MP the same time as 20 other players, look at the list, and have no interest in joining a server. If you could chat with any of those 20 other people.... chances are at least one would be interested in joining a game with you. Hypothetical: What IF we had chat, but in the current server browser? Great, but it would limit the player pool in the chat room to just that, prospective players likely looking for a game. Much of what made hyperlobby great were the players who just hung out in the chat to help others, discuss the F-15 ad nauseam, or come up with trigger ideas. I admit, chat can have its draw backs. Plenty of heated discussions on HL spilled over to these forums causing the warn and ban hammers to drop occasionally. However I feel the overall good that comes from live chat massively outweighs the bad. So what do we change next? Server and mission info is a logical start. As per the discussion in the MP threads certain data pertaining to the mission type being played should be available to prospective players. To a degree I believe this should be defined in part by mission builders and in part by the specific server admin. For instance if a mission supports "Join in progress" this tag could be set by the mission maker. Other details can display the contents of the mission and the current players in it. For instance all client aircraft are kept track of and displayed in a table in the server browser: I know its ugly. But there is the basic idea. We see who is in a server, what they are flying, and what aircraft are still available. This information can provide some important details. In this example if you are wanting to fly a Ka-50 at this specific time frame it would probably be a bad idea to try as the majority of players are on blue and 2 fighters are in play. Likewise if you feel like taking on some Eagles you can jump in a red fighter. Furthermore if you wanted relive your memories of Top Gun and wanted to fly with the best, you could ask Sven to be his WSO. So what else to change? One word: Filters. The out of game server browser for steam is an excellent example: First each of the categories are sortable and resizeable. Resizing is incredibly useful for those server or mission names that are long winded. The usefulness of being able to sort servers is pretty self explanatory. The drop down boxes allow for predefined categories to be displayed. For example latency has "All", "<50", "<100" ... and so on. Within DCS perhaps we can filter by aircraft or a gametype of "Pvp", "coop", or "training." Other ideas Global Stats Page Practical Other Ideas: Community Portal Page or window. ED uses this to post news items it feels that should be put in the spotlight. Could be anything from a community event such as LOCERF, to DCS is on sale at an online store, or a mission of the week, even a forum thread that ED likes. The idea Chokko stated of giving a all encompassing description box to be applied to a server makes alot of sense. As it stands we have to modify the mission, which is something some mission builders dislike, in order to display relevant info to potential players. Thats all I have for now.

Да брось, я всего лишь любитель. Мега -асами является группа граждан, периодически, под разными никами заходящая на сервер, постоянно видящие всё и вся, сквозь горы, без Авакса, без Радара , в основном летающая шаблонной тактикой , чем и идентифицируются , и иногда имеющие интересную скоростную динамику , так что , с этим вопросом ты к ним обратись. Я пока умею только так: http://files.myopera.com/SpbGoro/LO_2_Patches/client-Phase-2.miz.trk.zip Увы, без Радара, ну никак не получается :( Текст чата и переговоры ТС так же несущие достаточно много информации, порой дополняющие и описывающие картину, приложить возможности нет.

иии что ? я именно эту модель и скачал :) а потом вытащил в макс, что вы хотите мне показать? P.S. ЕСТЬ ДОБРОВОЛЬЦЫ!? (с)

desktop background now thx... :)

Have you installed both 32-bit and 64-bit versions? If so, ensure that you are not inadvertently running the 32-bit on start-up. Have you attempted to uninstall and then reinstall.? Should the issue persist, I would advise that you download the 1.1.0.8. base version from the home-page and see if that alleviates the issue - Admittedly cumbersome, but will aid in troubleshooting to ascertain whether there is an issue with the DVD version + 1.1.0.8. patch install procedure.

Да, цветные тени:) Как художник, художнику скажу что тень берёт на себя цвет неба.

А еще они имеют наглость сравнивать модели с фотографиями моделируемых объектов. Сволочи просто.

I wouldn't refuse to fly it. I'd still buy it for sure. I'd just be a bit disappointed that it wasn't the Super Hornet. When you read comparisons like this it's difficult to get excited about the C: Flying the F/A18F Super Hornet

однако эти люди умеют обсуждать минусы модели, не вникая в то, какие причины заставили автора модели сделать именно так :smilewink:

2 Ween. Когда у тебя требовали трек, тебе сказали на каких основаниях его у тебя требуют и что тебе инкриминируют? Типа: ты в такой-то промежуток времени, не понятным нам способом сделал тото, вот скриншоты и треки/таквью с нашей стороны, которые вызывают недоумение и тд и тп... будь добр, прокоментируй и трек приложи. Я еще был в РАФ когда это правило принимали и хорошо помню, что надо было обосновать притензии к пилоту, а сейчас работает схема - был бы человек, а статья найдется, точнее - трек пришли, а мы найдем к чему придраться... Сплошной профит: 1. Если читак, ну мало ли что там админу привидилось, то банхамером по голове и на серваке стало "чище" 2. Если не читак, то хоть подглядим как 3 раза подряд сбивать Горо, может что в моске и отложится... 3. Как Горо сбивать подглядели и для профилактики забанили, ибо нефиг... 4. ... P.S. свежи в памяти предъявы Муха пилотам одного известного сквада, которые довольно умело от 120 пущенных в ТВС уходили... вроде как ничего криминального, но этого было достаточно, что бы наехать на парней, вот так то.

ya i replace mother boards several times a month from BIOS updates gone bad but its generally safe. the only thing I can think is its possible that the USB voltage could be defective on the laptop and the BIOS may help but its a total guess by me.... I seriously doubt it would help. they usually dont and I never do them anymore. The other guy from MS isnt up to speed with the problem. the game runs fine with no stick plugged in so Im pretty sure its not the video driver. It is producing a generic BSOD which I think is due to the chipset voltages falling to low ( from the USB drawing to much amps) to run the PC anymore.... thats my "theory" at this point. please be sure to uninstall the saitek drivers and the profile software BEFORE installing your new stick. Hey by the way, what model laptop is this... I forgot. Were all pulling for ya Lucifer.

If your gonna say something needs a facelift, at least give some pointers. Can't just say this is wrong or bad and leave it that way, say maybe try this to improve it. Put some of your thoughts on paper. What would you like to see.

i hope they update the ka50 with normal maps and cockpit shadows, but i don't think that's going to happen, to be honest. they'd basically have to redo the cockpit and the model.

You have activations, not installs. You can reinstall to your heart's content as long as it's on the same machine. Also, if you run out, the system will automnatically replenish.

IMHO this is one of most devastating thing happening to DCS-multiplayer. There is no better way to turn new players away INSTANTLY. Only a tiny minority of players looking at playing this game online by joining a squad right away. IMHO in fact nobody does before playing under a different name on an open server, just to get a feeling for what he is up to. IMHO the number of people jumping freshly into multiplayer and join a TS enforced server right away is just as small. The result: 3 Servers out of 14 on a saturday night are without password. These 3 servers are filled to the max, 3/4 of the passworded servers are completely empty! If you don't want to play with "noobs" on your server, it would be by far better to have servers running without password, possibly with easy missions, until you and your teammates join the server. Then you can still ask players online, if they'd like to join you on TS or rather leave before locking it. But you would give interested players a chance to learn the game online, instead of forcing them in a runners-team, just because they want to go out for a walk.

Это тоже "индивидуальные доработки 25 борта в КБ, отдельная история"? :music_whistling: Ка-50 никто с вооружения не снимал. Как приняли 28 августа 1995 года указом Президента Российской Федерации, так с тех пор он на вооружении и состоит. Ми-24 сейчас тоже не выпускают. И что, он теперь "снят с вооружения"?

Не только АБРИС.

Че вы накинулис как питухи? Я могу дать запись этой Мухе, но он адрес не назвал. Говорит на форуме напиши, а миня на форум ихний ни пускаит и ни дает зарегистрировоться.
