Great event, I enjoyed watching it. But I was surprised by "relaxed" rules. A few years ago I took part in similar tournament and we were not allowed to do anything before passing by. We had to keep roll/pitch/yaw angle zero...
In this event, some pilots started maneuvering (changing altitude, speed, heading, etc) long before passing by opponent. Some of players merged while in banked turn already, even have built serious lead angle before merging. It seemed to me some pilots gained some advantage this way. But ok, rules were the same for everyone...

Is there any way I could change my nick in this forum? I can not find it anywhere in control panel...

As VTJG17_Fire correctly mentioned, this action is described in the book "F-15C Eagle vs MiG-23/35". Both U.S. as well as Iraqi pilots give their views of the action there.
Some mistakes on both sides have been made: Lead pilot of Hornet wing already identified target as enemy, but lost MiG25 from his radar waiting for AWACS confirmation.
On the other side, the same Iraqi-pilot could engage one A-6E too, being in perfect position to fire R-40TD, but his GCI did not grant him permission (thought MiG-25 pilot might be engaging own MiG-29 he lost sight of). Quite interesting reading, really...

They will *never* have enough time to fix it if they keep on releasing new beta-modules, which bring new bugs. In fact, number (and severity) of bugs in DCS remains about the same for quite long time. Whenever one bug gets fixed, at least one new is introduced...

I want a Hawk

I just want to ask if this is legal:
Been talking with a friend from Russia about prices, and we found out ED is selling products for very different prices, depending on the market. Sometimes price for russian customers is less than half of the price for me! I have seen it with my own eyes, when I visited ED-shop using russian-proxy or vpn (I went up to check-in but did not buy anything yet).
Now I have two questions:
Q1. Is it legal to visit ED-shop using russian IP (proxy or vpn) and buy DCS-modules for "russian" (read: much lower) prices, even if I'm not from Russia?
Q2. Is it legal to ask a fellow simmer from Russia to buy a DCS-module (for "russian" prices) with intention that he transfers then the key to me (living outside of Russia)?

How can i activate autopilot so that ONLY altitude is stabilised? I mean, so that I could still turn left/righ (using roll-axis on the stick)?
Before Su-27 switched to this advanced flight model, I could simply use "H" which stabilized altitude, but I could still change direction of flight. Now when I use "H", both altitude and heading is "locked"...

First, I think teamspeak-forum might be more appropriate place to look for help with your problem. Next: maybe you could be more specific and explain what you mean with "can't get it to work"...
-
Agreed. They do look great but, unless you have a 'problem' with a frame rate that is too high ;) , they usually aren't worth the hit.
That's THE problem I'd like to have! :-)
-
As a side note, why doesn't the SU27 have its own subforum?
Because it does!

I do not think that is a problem. Every Windows comes with "Windows Time" service started per default (unless you deactivated it). So it does not matter what time you have in bios, sooner or later it gets corrected by ntp-client. You could get maybe problem only if you shift local time during communication with master-server.
BTW, bios-time is as "exact" as some cheap chinese digital-watch you can buy on streets: it can get deviation of +/- 1min per day. Moreover, we do not live in the same time-zone, and we do not have to have time corresponding to the time-zone you are in (all my comps use UTC-time despite of being in CET (UTC+1)...

...I'm not sure what else I should do. Would you have any suggestions?
Don't saying you should do it, but if I were in your position. I'd try to get one more GTX770 (cheap one, 2nd hand, ebay, or borrow from someone) and run them in SLI. NVidia scales pretty well in DCS, and single GTX770 might be little overloaded with 3x FullHD screens.
But it is not a guaranteed fix. I have just single fullHD-LCD, GTX780, i5@4.8GHz, and there are moments when I see ~10fps on runway (big missions, a lot of players/objects, etc). Sometimes even less.
"EDGE" should be out by the end of this year. Maybe it's clever to wait one or two months and then see if DCS "2.x" is better optimised...

This (off-line LAN gameplay) was requested many times by users, and denied by ED. Apparently they like the idea of having everything under their control. Well, everything except for (quite frequently) their own master-server...
-
Not sure if I understand you correctly, but AFAIK running multiplayer-DCS on isolated LAN (without internet access) is not possible. For MP clients have to authenticate on ED's "master-server"...

After long break I tried to fly Su-25T and was surprised I could not load more than 4 tons of fuel (without external tanks). Is this bug (as with Su-33), or normal? IIRC, some time ago I could load much more fuel...

Edit: Damn, I missed that "Su-25T Issues" sub-forum. Admin, please move my question there...

Less than 1 day before the show, and still no program. Not even time when the show begins. That's strange...

Yesterday, at OP "Summer Rain", it was trully disaster! Hours and hours trying to connect to "master server", and nothing! Really ED, this system with "master server" as single critical point sux hard. I dream of the old days, when there was no "master server", and I could play even without internet. Despite of starforce running in ring0, the game was MUCH more stable, than now...

Maybe you forgot to apply the latest update? In-game browser shows only servers with the same version...
-
...But my RAM is expecting to work at 1866 ( corsair vengeance PC3-14900 ) so I don't understand!
Check SPD/XMP of your memory-modules. Sometimes it *can* run on higher frequency, but it also needs higher voltage...

You think the best DCS-players are in west Europe?...WEST is only dedicated to west european players to ensure a good game quality... -
...Available Air to Air Missiles : R-60M / R-73 / AIM-9M / AIM-9P / AIM-7 / R-27R
Not even R-27T ?

Exactly because of that: it is needed!
Server-browser is simply terrible. Not only it lacks on any filtering (i.e. only free/passworded, only non-empty, only those with ping <value, etc) or sorting (according to names/number of players, geo-location, etc) capabilities, its constant re-freshing drives me mad! Once I see the list I start scrolling down, but before I check a few servers the list is updated and I can start from beginning! And this is going on over and over again...
Honestly, I do not think it is such a difficult programming task to create "normal" server-browser if you already have the list (one button for "refresh/stop", a few filters and active sorting-columns). But it would make DCS much more "playable"...

1) If you get the server download, are you able to join other servers as a client.
No. If you have *only* server downloaded & installed, you can not join other servers (not even the one you are running).
2) If not are you able to have both client and server teamspeak installed?Yes, this is perfectly possible.

It is quite a long time since I installed DCS so honestly, I do not remember it. Is it still necessary to have (install) the old LOMAC 1.x in order to install DCS:FC3? I have some vague feeling this condition has been removed, but I'm not sure...
Modern Air combat
in DCS 2.9

Seems so, but it is not clearly stated. Previously, when "new" products like "F-15C for DCS World" have been announced, it was explained present owners of FC3 do not have to buy it, because it is identical to that in FC3. I'm missing something like that this time...
OT: I have not been here for a few years at least, but I see I have 100% warning! LOL, how did I earn that?
