THX Laud!!

The server has not been finalized yet. We are looking at the option of securing a server that is powered by a C2D. We therefore expect that performance and bandwith will be such that we can accomodate more players with less warping/performance issues.

As posted before, mission 2 will commence at 2100 zulu on June 23, 2007. If your squadron is interested in participating please PM me with: 1) Number of pilots attending 2) What A/C they wish to fly. I will make all efforts to accommodate them. Please be aware that due to the increased interest in LOCERF, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to honor every request. THE DEADLINE FOR REQUESTS IS 2200zulu ON JUNE 4th. One of the suggestions from the last mission was to give more time to planning and briefing, so I must get your numbers by that date. If I get your request late, I will not make any promises in providing slots to your squadron.

I've seen the same thing happen in single player. I launched a R-27EM HOJ at a B-52 that was approx 60km out at 8100m. The EM took a loft trajectory, passed above the B-52 (just like in the issue with 159th_Jojo) and then turned and hit it in the tail. The missile when it hit was going appox 800kph. I'll check and see if I can make a track of it.

So in this thread please post your suggestions and if your squadron is interested (no need to post numbers yet). For those of you who are not affiliated with a squadron, please PM me if you want to attend. Please include in the PM the aircraft that you wish to fly. The date and time for LOCERF mission 2 is June 23 2007 at 2100 zulu.

-150 points. If you are firing actives it is important that you ensure that there are not friendlies in the area. This goes with ET's also... if you maddog and there is a friendly in the area, you need to be prepared to deal with the consequences. This will be in addition to the combat loss of -50 points.

Official Mission One Results The grading system I used for mission 1 is as follows: -50 points for any combat loss of aircraft. +30 points if you kill a fighter aircraft +40 points if you kill a strike aircraft 100 points for objectives completed based on a percentage. So if you completed 50% of the objective you get 50 points. +10 points for objects not covered by the objectives. +500 points for SAM complexes near the home plates. based on percent completed. BLUE FOR: Two Air to Air combat kills (2x Su-33): 60 points One combat loss (1x F-15): -50 points 100% of Objective one completed: 100 points 40% of Objective two completed: 40 points Total: 150 Points RED FOR: Combat loss of three aircraft (2x Su-33 and 1x Su-25t): -150 points 20% of Objective 2 completed: 20 points Total: -130 points BlueFor won by 280 points. CONGRATULATIONS!! Disclaimer: Because of the broad objectives in mission one, for future missions I will itemize the objectives and score them accordingly. It was hard to score losses because of the performance issues, those who crashed on landing and those who just crashed into the ground, etc. Due to large difference in points, I didnt labor excessively on what losses were due to what reasons. I simply counted in tacview those who were shot down.

I have to admit that I have been a dissapointed by the personal attacks etc. If you want to suggest no rearm/refuel, than suggest it. There is no reason to start a flame war. Uphold yourselves with dignity, as you are representing your squadrons to the rest of the community. That being said, I have an answer to this issue. Next mission if you fire a weapon (other than cannon), and you miss your target, it will be scored against your team. -10 points per weapon fired that doesnt hit its target. (if the weapon is hit by a SAM then it wont count against you) We will see what effect that has on deployment of weapons and then make decisions based on that. @Woody: I like the name change... it has been made so.

A TK is -40000 points BWHAAAHAAAHAHAAA :holloween: J/K I didnt factor in Team Kills because I expected the pilots that were flying this mission weren't n00bs.... clearly if we are going to have Cali around in subsequent missions, I've got factor it in. :P :P :P :P I dont know how much piloting an Airman does though.......... :megalol: (Just razzin u Cali... nothin but love) I'll have the scores out later on.... I dont think the TK will have much effect on the outcome.;)

Mission One is a Success!!!! Everyone that participated: THANK YOU!! I appreciate the kind words from everyone and I want to stress the fact that my success is due in part to the support of the community. I saw nothing but professionalism. Everyone conducted themselves with an extreme amount of honor. There were no circumstances of whining or complaining and I appreciate those who complied with my requests without question. I apologize to those of you who had connection issues, as this exercise progresses I hope to find some solutions to those issues. Thank you to all of JaBoG32 for hosting both the mission and TS. Woody, you came through at the last minute and were extremely helpful. Thanks!! Thanks to all of 3_Sqn including Sven, Cali, Rugg and Herr Fud for their votes of confidence and advice. Thanks to the Savage 77th, especially Goya for his briefing of previous exercises and ReO for his help in developing a grading rubric. Thanks to =RvE=, especially Yoda for being willing to host. I am sorry your server died in the process of setting it up and I hope you get it sorted. Thanks to all of (504) including Goon, and Breakshot for their hosting of TS and advice on mission planning. Thanks to the 159th especially the command staff for their support and recognition. S! For those of you behind the scenes that I didnt mention, thank you too. THIS WAS A SUCCESS FOR THE COMMUNITY!! You should all be proud to be members of the finest online community out there. The next mission is planned for June 23 2007. Times, information etc. to follow. Please post your suggestions on how to improve this experience. I want these operations to be a constantly improving process. The track file for mission one will be posted shortly. I will be going over it the next few days to grade each team and I will provide a detailed write up of events. Salute!!! -Fudd

The issue is might affect client performance. I'm not telling you that you can't record the mission. I just saying that I will record it and will make it available to everyone.

I'll be spectating, so I will record the mission... and yes it records everything. It has been brought up that enabling trackview in the export functions of lockon can affect client performance. I would advise you not to have this export enabled so that we can ensure good performance for everyone. Thanks.

The squadrons that are participating tomorrow are cognizant of the fact that they are representing their squadron to the rest of the community and therefore will conduct themselves with honor. In other words, I doubt I will see any crap like print screening or ecm micros.

Additions to General Rules Dropping from the game due to computer problems: Ensure that your system is stable. As 3sqn_Food said in an earlier post, kick your girlfriend off the internet, quit downloading tranny porn and lower the clocks if your OC’d. Please don’t be the one that is running multiple virus checks and defragging your hard drive while trying to fly the mission. ENSURE THAT YOUR SYSTEM IS READY TO HANDLE THE STRESSES OF LOCK-ON Once we start the mission and it is clear that the server is stable, I will call “point of no return.” In other words, if you get dropped than you will not be allowed to return. Strike Fighters: Obviously you will need to leave the game to change loadouts. YOU MUST FIRST DECLARE YOUR INTENTION TO DO SO. I will verify that you’re on the apron at home plate and then give you the go ahead to leave and then return with a new loadout. Lagging and Server Stability Issues: During the duration of the mission, if it is found that the server cannot handle the client load, I will be asking one pilot form each flight to drop from the game. In other words, each squadron will drop one fighter pilot and one strike pilot. Obviously this will be a junior officer… MAKE SURE HE IS AWARE OF THIS POSSIBILTY!! I don’t want any crying or whining, just leave the game as asked and do it with dignity like the professional that you are!

The above is correct. The Wind values are in Kph, so at Ground level the speed is 10kph at 2000m it is 15kph and at 8000m it is 50kph

NNE= 22 degrees

EDIT: REDFOR IS USING 504th TS. This TS will be used for outbriefing at the end of the mission.

Rgr, thanks... my math sucks

Weather and Visibility Forecast For Mission1 The Op begins at 1400 Zulu. The current time zone in theater is Charlie (Zulu +3). Atmospheric Conditions: Sunny Particulate Matter is high with a Visibilty of 50km/27nm @2km/6600ft Winds: Ground: NNE at 10km/h 2km/6600ft: NNE at 15km/h 8km/26000ft: NNE at 50km/h Temperature: 10C/50F

We are currently testing the mission on JaBoG32's server. Yoda: I'm sorry to hear that! Thank you for being willing to host and I hope your sever can be fixed. S!

Sure, I dont see why that would be a problem. If your interested PM me your e-mail address and I'll send it to you

I dont have a problem with payload changes. I'll be keeping track of who gets killed in order to keep the honest man honest. EDIT: The caveat being that if you want to change payload you must return to the orginal base you took off from. So for example the BlueFor Strike Aircraft may not land at Kirovskoe and then change payload and respawn at Gvardjskoe. You must fly all the way back if you wish to change.

AI land at Glendzhik (sp) without crashing. (From the land side)

Do I need to have everyone from BlueFor raise their hands that are infavor of using Ventrillo over TS.... or can we just be okay with using JaBoG's TS??? :noexpression:

X2!!!
