They will probably issue an update for that :music_whistling: I had to do it manually.

Ok, i updated. No new shiznit obvious, so they probably made my computer a member in ED's new DCS botnet or fixed some bugs. Take a pick. EDIT: OMG THEY RELEASED THE NEW FAST JET! (lulz) :p

You've never heard of NSA? :detective:

Any way to upgrade the BS2 upgrade version to a full BS2 version? I'm sick of this bullsh't. There's like a hundred different ways to solve this gracefully, ED choose the worst possible way for the upgrade check. Keeping a dual install for every upgrade is a PITA, especially if you're using SSD's.

I think the issue is that the client can't handle the response from the master server. I'm not in the mood to reverse engineer the communication in order to find the issue. The answer is fine most of the time, so the core issue is probably in the way the master server replies. There's probably an issue in the client as well, it should't crash just because it recieves "unexpected" data.

We don't play CA as a standalone module. But we do use CA often in our missions. As Jedi wrote, you are welcome to visit us and say hello. :)

If you rev your cold engine at -50C I can guarantee that you will end up with a broken engine. :) The EGT only show you the temperature of the exhaust, not the rest of the engine.

Thanks for the answers guys! Hopefully i'll recieve my copy before FC3, but now i know i don't have to cry myself to sleep if it doesn't arrive in time. :)

I've ordered Lock On from TFC. Still have not recieved it even though it been over 3 weeks. Anyone know if it's a install check or serial check in order to install FC3 when it's released? And no, i don't use "piracy" software. But im not gonna stand aside and wait while someone is hugging my lock on copy i've paid for 3 weeks ago.. ;)

So you can connect and play online? Doesn't work from Sweden atleast, we're 10ppl trying here.

MASTER SERVER IS DOWN AND WE HAVE A SQUAD NIGHT!!!! Whine whine whine and some qq. Please fix! :helpsmilie:

Yea, I know the feeling. Sometimes I boot into MS-DOS myself.. ;) I have not received my Lock On copy yet so I can't check this. But I assume IRL performance of the gun is implemented right?

The purpose of the notch is to make the radar loose track due to filtering. The radar see you all the time. It is designed to ignore returns that doesn't move between two or more pulses. A correctly performed notch will make the missile loose track a few seconds so you can turn outside its detection cone. The missile is in a lead pursuit and will bore sight and go straight if it loose you. And btw, how fast or slow is radio waves if they're not traveling at the speed of light? ;) I think you confused yourself.

Incorrect, the missile needs a certain amount of constant acceleration in order to arm the missile. This ensures that you are out of harms way if it should explode. Same principle as many artillery rounds and M203 grenades.

You don't have to overengineer IFF :) You can implement that very easy. But i've got a feeling ED don't want to implement a "fake" system. If you want to simulate IRL performance (interrogation) then it would get a bit 'tricky'.

Even if it is scripted as you say, i think it's very hard to notice from the cockpit. All you see and hear is Woooooooosh! and you look at the contrails.

Here's a rough sketch from the missiles (radar) point of view. With and without chaff. Chaff is designed to reflect as much radar energy as possible. It can be compared to release smoke in order to blind the enemy so you can escape.

It's 100% up to you if you want to fly with FC3 aircrafts. When DCS:Fighter enters the scene it will eat everything else for breakfast just as the A-10C will outperform the A-10A in every possible way.

Can somone explain the FM for the aircrafts. a) Are they SFM with AFM ground handling? b) Aircrafts SFM+ and AFM ground handling? c) AFM on everything including missiles? d) SFM aircrafts with SFM+ ground handling? I've only played FC1 a few minutes on a crappy (read illegal) copy with a keyboard many years ago so i have very little experience from the Lock On series.

If you read Wags explanation he basically says DCSW needs fighters. DCS: Fighter is far away and they needed a fix. Thus we got FC3. Seems fair enough.

LOMAC or FC2! :thumbup: And yea, we can rant about the LOMAC part for ages, it won't change the fact that Ubisoft is id%ots.

With all due respect Frostie, referring to a squadron with CCCP in the patch and saying a russian bird is the most popular aircraft is a no brainer to me. If I were ED I would've given the Su-27 the new cockpit. But complaining won't change the fact that they decided to update the F-15. And tbh, I will have as much fun in the Su-27 anyway. :)

Not following you either Pilotasso. 10000 copies sold. 3000 registered on forums. 2300(ish) multiplayers. I have no clue about any of these figures, it's an example. The point is the multiplayer community is way, way smaller then the total user community.

I don't follow you pepin. I hope someone else do.
