Not today mate. Its raining.

Whats this?

I always thought that you put the target at the edge of your radar before firing? Can someone clarify this??????

Warping means Lag which means bad/slow internet connection. This is very frustrating as this could mean the difference between an easy kill or no kill at all. Because when you think your opponent is where he`s supposed to be, he`s actually a million miles away.........Well might as well be.

This was covered in another thread, but thought it would be useful under this heading. Ok, in a nutshell a picture paints a 1000 words: F15 RWS: http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/3264/1f15rwsly4.jpg F15 TWS: http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/5919/2f15twsmu9.jpg Russian Radar: http://img95.imageshack.us/img95/4558/3russianradarcz8.jpg Russian HUD: http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/5619/4russianhudse9.jpg Russian HUD / Radar: http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/9240/5russianhudradarbz7.jpg (Quote from 169th_Ice): Also be aware of this happening: I`m in rusky bird I see an ac sneakin and lock it. In the vicinity is a friendly unknown to you. I lose lock on the bad guy and radar will switch to EOS. Guess what.. it picks up the friendly on EOS and it looks like a bandit on the HUD and on the radar. Most common mistake is radar slipping back to EOS without the pilot realising. Keep checking the HUD for the "N" to show radar is still illuminating.

Posted By Cali There is a line from Shakespeare which says "Me thinks thou dost protest too much". In other words, when someone feels heavily convicted by the truth in a statement, they tend to overreact, and this overreaction (or "protesting" too much) actually gives away their guilt.

Oh yeah sure no problem bud. I understood that.

Posted by ruggbutt Its not like that at all rugg. Trust me. Its all about respecting other peoples wishes and views and giving them support and loyalty for something that a guy provides out of his own pocket for us all to enjoy. There is NO control freak going on what - so - ever. Trust me I`ve seen it many times in my line of work. Its just how some people take constructive criticism. Unfortunately some people are not mature enough and do not take too kindly to it. Which is a shame really. Just one example that happened to me, I was pulled up for swearing too much on Teamspeak. I do not think that it was too much to ask and I deserved it. There was no malice from Ice he was polite and I was out of order. So I don`t think that is being a control freak, I think that is keeping a squad member in order to maintain the professionalism that the 169th carries. I`ve got to admit I fully support Polecat 110% for what he said. So that you do not think I am biased in anyway shape or form I would kindly ask you to ask other 169th members what they think of the squad and I bet you a pound to a pinch of shit that it will be very positive. Like I said it`s the minority that fall foul and justly deserved too. I can not see what the problem is if someone expects a high standard from his squad members. If you`re not up to it then its good night Vienna. But only after repeated warnings I might add. Just my ten peneth worth mate.

You don`t get kicked, well very rarely unless you are a complete MUPPET. And no-one will yell at you. Like I said most are very helpful and friendly.

Made who happy?

Sweet!!!

Easily solved mate. I think if you turn on radar whilst locking the target in EOS mode you get the "F" on the bottom left side of the HUD as in the last pic I posted. If there is no "F" then ZAP it. LOL

You said it mate. Just pulling your leg. LOL:megalol: The honest answer would be to go in each squad and see how they receive you. i.e. are they friendly, are they prepared to teach you tricks of the trade. They are all pretty good to be honest. Well mostly anyway.

You know, I totally agree with 941st Rage on this subject as it is really frustrating, yet with all this experience, 5 pages and 43 answers to this thread no-one has actually explained the right way to IFF. Yet people are so quick to pull others down. Have you all read the manual from front to back then gone online and never asked questions about something? This is where the vast majority of learning and teaching is done. Commonly known as "Hands On". All that has transpired is people taking the piss and making comments like RTFM. Now this is ok, but how about explaining what to do and be more positive and I think you will get more people in Hyperlobby and they will not feel so inferior as to come and have a fly in a community that is generally outstanding. But I would summize that the "Noobs" after reading this thread will think: "There is no way I`m going in there" Could someone please enlighten me and explain what forums are for? To tell others to RTFM? No I don`t think so. Also the one about the guy who said: "the way to IFF was to see if the missile fired" I know this is not the done thing but it`s not entirely incorrect either. Correct me if I am wrong but in a Russian aircraft if you do lock a friendly the missile will not fire unless you over-ride it? So in a way is this not a form of IFF? As the missile system has identified it as a friendly and will not fire. Apologise for going on but I`m a great believer in helping others. I know what i was like when i first started and I was taken on board by the 169th. If it hadn`t been for Ice and his team I would still be in there killing friendlies. Prior to this I just had fleeting visits to hyperlobby as I thought no-one really wants to help me in here. I am sure that everyone of you went online before Reading The F****** Manual and made mistakes. So just think back to those days. Like I said before, with all the experience that has replied to this, not one of us has explained how to do IFF. Interesting thought really. Does that mean we are all just a bunch of Prima Donnas and the big wide world out there may think this and that is probably why our community is so small? Top Tip: IIP - Invest In People. It will pay you dividends.

Well thats easy to answer SVK Fox. The 169th Panthers is by far the best squad. Everyone knows that.

Hello all. Just got back on the net after a house move and can`t seem to get onto 169th Panthers. Is it still up and running?

Its an Edited label on that server. Its a new feature with the patch.

Bummer Beat me to it. LOL

Install procedure: 1. Lock On 2. Flaming Cliffs 3. 1.12a Job Done. Easy peasie lemon squeezy.

Were you both on medication? LOL

Bumpety bump again.

Sounds interesting. Can`t beat a bit of competition between squads. Infact took part in one, 169th v EPA. Best flying experience I`ve ever had whilst flying Lock-On.
