If your choice is to buy the F-15C standalone for 40 Euro to support them, than don't complain about it being expensive. You could have way more for the same price. And sometimes its fun to fly other planes. And i can tell you other people are enjoying the MIG-29 a lot right now with the new 6dof cockpit. I think your missing out on that. But that is just my personal opinion. Hope to see you in MP soon to do some flying.

Did you only bought the F-15C? And not the FC3 module? Because yes thats a little expensive. Otherwise you would have 6 planes for the same price. And the SU-27 would be freely upgraded for you to have AFM/PFM.

Maybe to try and give the video more depth so it becomes more interesting with a story line behind it. So you understand whats going on. So its not just a video. Vid was nice. Thx.

Hmm ok. Must be. I never used tab to talk in FC3. Only in some modules.

Thx for the correction Falcon. We don't want any more TK's LoL.

I thought let me make this little guide with important things to know and remember when playing online in a combat server. It's just some key points that are hard to find on the forums if you don't read everything. I am in no way a expert on this and there are people that know alot more than me. Just some reminders. Feel free to correct me or add things. I will keep this updated. * Read the manual and make sure you know the basic key strokes. * When flying F-15 a dot on your radar is friendly and a bar is enemy. * When flying F-15 if you lock up a friendly there will be a cross through your target designation box. * When flying the Russian planes a 2 stacked up bars on your radar/HUD is friendly and a single bar is enemy. * When flying a MIG or SU and you are using EOS/IRST you will NOT be able to identify friend from foe. Just switch really quick to your normal radar and back to IFF the target. Unless you are 100% certain. * When damaged on the Taxi or next to the runway please don't EJECT. It will leave the wreck on the runway or the explosion can damage close by planes. Go to spectate mode and choose your plane again. This will let your plane disappear. * Alot of bars stacking up on your Radar/HUD like a big line means somebody is jamming/has his ECM on. * Depending on the server Take off from the left side and land on the right side. * Your plane has a RWR bllind spot. 45 degrees for F-15 and 30 degrees for Russian fighters. You won't get any warning when locked on and be fired at from the death zone. * When a ET is fired you won't get any warning and you will just explode. Always be prepared for a ET shot when engaged by a Mig or SU. Especially when he suddenly turns defensive in close range. Dispense flares and keep moving left/right. Most of the time it will miss. * Don't go randomly lock friendly's. * To fire your missiles when in the F-15 hold the fire button for a second or two. * Don't fly straight into the enemy keep him in your gimbal limits of your radar if possible. If i'm correct that is called cranking. * Watch out for ambushes. If you see somebody turn around and it doesn't make sens you are being ambushed. * Don't refuel/rearm on the runway. * Program your radar vertical scan buttons on your HOTAS instead of keeping it as a keyboard command. It will help you better with finding enemy's. * Remember that this game can be buggy sometimes and weird things will happen. * - Semi active = FOX 1 (Example: AIM-7) - IR missile = FOX 2 (Example: AIM9) - Active = FOX 3 (Example: AMRAAM) - For a ET some people call FOX 4 (Example: R-27ET) * RAYGUN means that you are locking a friendly. You or they respond with BUDDY SPIKE or CLEAN. * A SPIKE is somebody that is locking you. * A NAIL is a radar source tracking or atleast a radar source searching. * A 29 NAIL or SPIKE on your RWR (Radar Warning Receiver) can be a MIG or a SU. * MUSIC ON = ECM (Electronic Counter Measures) is on. Turn it on by pressing E. It will have a 15 seconds warm up time. * Defaulth Chat button is ` and defaulth chat button for Team is right CTRL+` * Defaulth Radio button is \ You can call Rearm and refuel from there as well. * Make sure your engines are off when asking for Refuel/Rearm/Repair. Have fun and see you in the air. I hope this helps a little. And it will make it less annoying for other people as well.

LoL.. But no. Please don't eject. The explosion after respawn can cause other nearby planes to get damaged or leave FOD on the taxi/runway. Just go to spectate and choose your original plane again.

Ok i'm sorry. I had the feeling you was fishing for that.

Sorry tracks have already been deleted. But it is easely reproduced with a buddy. Next time if the same situation occurs i will post the track for you. What i dont understand is why you ask me not to delete my video if i can not find the track!! I'm proud enough already that i could actually shoot multiple people down and still survive. And maybe some beginners can take something useful out of it. So i am surprised where this "Don't delete the video" comes from in your PM. But if there is a slight possibility you think i'm cheating i will gladly send you some other saved tracks and all my future tracks to you. So every MP sortie i do can be checked by you and others in detail. I'm not sure if you think im cheating. And maybe im totally wrong here. But im getting pretty tired to explain myself everytime something happens that people can't place or getting killed by their own mistakes because they think they do everything right so he must be cheating.

Can you guy's check the second vid. Have a look at the engagement that starts at 9:25. I lock uo a guy and fire at him and miss. I miss twice actually. How i don't know. But the first miss actually hits another plane. I knew there was a second plane. But not that close. And it was pure lukc. My missile went mad dog after it missed the first plane and than reaquired the other one and hit it. Or am i seeing this wrong? I actually did not notice this when playing. Only after i put it on youtube.

Nice vid good flying.

PS that was a real STUGE attack. If you fire at him and you miss you better run :)

This is not even that bad. I have seen AIM-120's and AIM-7's that i shot maneuvre straight into the ground after 2 seconds off tracking while the target itself was in line of sight. And no it was not tracking chaff. Those missiles almost did a 90 degrees turn into the ground for no reason.

Yes they will. I never payed for F-15C PFM only FC3. That's the reason i bought FC3.

A splash compilation of multiple recordings from online gameplay. Enjoy :) And if you feel like it, join us online and fly with us or against us. Another interesting flight with a german painted MIG-29. Didn't even know we had those :)

I had something similar yesterday. I was shot down and right after my 2 screens just shut down and went into standby. The game was still running. I had to power down the screens twice for it to come back up. Never had that in any game before since the beginning of my gaming ""career"".

Will do if it happens to me tonight.

Yup it somehow resets the gear to the retracted position sometimes when you repair.

How do you get TAW 2.0 working on your windows 7 64 machine? It did not work for me.

LoL. Check this. It happens alot in the new patch.

What doe the title "Danger close" has to do with your question?

Is it done yet?? I need to kill me some F-15's with this beauty.

I disagree here. Flying The F-15C/SU-27/Mig-29 competitive is the main part of the simmulation of those air planes. To deploy tactics better, react faster and deploy your weapons better than the other. Even in single player. When you playing this game you want to be better than the AI and other players right? Otherwise it would be a crash and burn simmulator. Or a "Fly patterns around the terrain and aim your advanced weapons at the ground simmulator". Sorry if you are not competitive in a Digital Combat Simmulator you will get splashed by every AI or player. While we also fly like you do we also want to kill our opponent in the most efficient way before he can kill you. If you take out the competitive part you won't even have a Digital Combat Simmulator anymore. You will be gazing and turning at beatifull created switches and look around the cockpit.

This is because it's also just fun to fly around in those things and see some traffic and look at others going on their MP earthquake missions. And i myself like to see some UH-1 or MI-8 flying around by a real player. It makes it all more alive and dynamic in this barren DCS world MP games where every added AI can cause framerate drops.
