Breakshot

Yeah.. another simple solution is just to create a sticky key, in CH or Foxy programming... works like a charm! Good find though!

I think what Tek is trying to say here is that this community needs some sort of log for inter-squad events, communications, matches etc etc. Perhaps some sort of after action report, this sort of stuff... independently of any leagues, ladders, as these dont apply... but more as a judgement on which squads are active and which not, thus to make life simpler for any squad to squad communications when planning such events...

Def a must to read them... Also, a good map check to go with it not only can save one's ass but even work as an advantage when in sticky situations... Those who dont read the briefing are usually the first to be shot down by flying into nomans land, or they just get lost and consequently start to spam the chat for directions... and no, being a newbie isnt an exuse in this particular case either, i guess its all about flight discipline really... This just as well applies for example to those who start taking off from taxiways, when the server rules (written in the brief) strictly prohibit that... Ironic as it is, but I noticed many so called 'veterans' who say they've read the brief do exactly that and couldnt care less... My own opinion at least on this case is that many ppl tend to play this game just for the thrill of the quick kills, looking to create an airquake while missing the whole point of it entirely... and to be honest, in that situation who needs the brief anyway right? The fight is gonna look like a mad furball fest anyhow...

Thats ok Breadfan... you can always make a special appearance on the server for charity purposes! :P See u in the blue.... No0b!

Теперь у нас есть совместная статистика с 3sqn! Так что если вы летаете на нашем сервере, или на сервере 3Sqn, счет идет на тот же адресс! http://71.6.210.76/ Мы хотели бы искренне поблагодарить 3sqn которые сделали это возможным! Салют!

ну ну, спасибо! доллар вот упал, и дешевле выходит! :thumbup: S!

As said above, this is trully stunning stuff Razorback! I envy you big time!

Thnx for the input Pilotasso... yes, I have wondered about this myself... X-Man and the crew are still in the process of mustering up some nice missions (and fixing the current ones), so keep a lookout for some interesting line-up of AC for both sides on some of these new missions! Obviosly we wanna make the f-15 IFF problem not as bad, thus, some of the current missions have some pre-set aircraft choices... but I agree, this tends to stack up the red side bit more... i shall look into it.. See ya in the blue!

Wohoo! Vodka for everyone!

Poko, take the rotary apart, find the pot (should be real easy) And spray WD40 into it! That should fix the rotary probs!

Bring back the migs, comrades! :P hmmm sounds like the pilot did a good job recovering the plane, wouldnt be a great story if they lost one brand new F-16 so early...

Sounds like those voted for options 1,3,5 are obviosly against padlock... however, as stated above, the poll is made in a skewed way, splitting up those who are against padlock, making it look like there are less votes there... IMO, a good judgement would be just a quick look at HL dedi servers, and I can say for certain that most of them have it OFF, and it will stay that way! Otherwise we might as well slap lables and easy radar on, and have a cs like shootdown going around... :P just my 5 cents on this...

Indeed! We need a shiny new su-27 Model!!! :P

Thanx! We are getting there... :)

Thank you Poko! Looking forward to seeing you drop in and have a flight on there!

Also I would like to point out that the 51st PVO Regiment is now officially open for recruitement! We are gunning to fill up our ranks to a dozen combat ready active pilots, we are currently at 7 + a recruit in progress.. So... pontential recruits... apply now if you think that you can live up to the challenge of becoming a PVO fighter pilot and fly amongst some of lockons finest! It wount be easy I promise, however act now because this window of oportunity might not last long! Also just to give those who dont know us an idea of what this squad is about: We fly specifically Russian aircraft, heavily concentrated on Su-27. The main focus is on team discipline and high prescision flying. Teamwork and competitive attitude are synonymous with our squad goals. We normally fly from ~ 1800GMT onwards for those who think timezone could be an issue... Any questions, please dont hesitate to ask me or our political officer, comrade Shaman. Everyone is also welcome to drop in to our forums and website listed above! C ya in the skies! S!

Server is pretty much days away, were currently ironing out some hardware issues (network card needs replacement)... But stay tuned! It shall be up and running on HL, ASAP!

It is a nice avatar, it is... :P

Very nice skins indeed! Using them right now, only thing is, some of them walmis skins might be alittle too dark? Love the first stock skin with weathering added though... nice work Rugg!

Nice skins! Also loved the T-80 camo on the first pack, makes them look even more agressive :) GJ!

Ehhmm.... great! Perhaps u misunderstood my point, to what extent can this be done? Can: Switch to Channel/Whisper to specific channel/Ccommander/Guard/CC Toggle/ etc etc be done, does it have the functionality of TS? Not to mention the ever important TS Overlay use.

Does Ventrilo offer the same capability for communication between different flights/divisions as teamspeak? Quality is one thing, TS does just fine in that repsect imo, but most important is the ability to properly manage numerous flights. Unless offcorse the 3sqn is planning to field their dedicated choir and sing us their anthem :p Also, just wondering, was the decision made with all the RED squads consent? I didnt recall anyone coming in and discussing this with us (504). Or did I miss something?

Well, wrong or unfair is not for us to judge. If those pilots, want to be part of organized flights/trainings then they should join a squad, period. They are all perfectly aware of the existence of squads and the action that comes along with it, they, in my opinion do not deserve any special treatment. It is actually more of an issue for the squads that are participating because instead of sorting out their own coordination and flights (which is a dauting task!), they would now have to "babysit" pilots that they know nothing about. Now dont get me wrong, getting exposure for this kind of thing is a brilliant idea, but those who are planning to fly are no new members of the community, they are all aware of the different factors involved, thus should know what is required of them. So, personally if I am required to do my mission with my wingmen, i will not deviate and do other tasks, but will do to the best of my abilility only to make sure my flight does the job, and only then, mabe worry about any "lone wolfs" who will be flying around.... So, my tip to all those "lone wolfs" who will be flying. Try it out, have fun, but dont expect to be fully integrated as it is simply not possible in such a short time. The real solution u have to be able to fly these kind of missions is to join a squad, thats it.

For whatever reasons, that is apart from ECM blinking. The inability to lock a "clear" contact because of unfavorable attitude/angle of the bandit is a feature of the game. To prove this like Frostie said, just fly against the AI, try to fly against some Mirages, I noticed that I sometimes couldnt lock them up under 10-15km with a clear contact on scope in a russian ac. Normally by simply changing the PRF rate you will be able to get a lock. I cant say that I am aware of all the conditions on the F-15, but whats probably happening there is what GGTharos pointed out. Or, the target is simply in the process of turning cold and the radar just cant lock him up. So, obviosly those who blame other things such as blinking probably do not have enogh experience with radar work in this game and are unaware of certain conditions, theory is one thing, but you gotta fly and see things for yourself. I can say for certain that no matter what others might think or say, this "phenomenon" does, and will happen time and time again. But those who feel like they must be flying in a "perfect" world where your radar should work like it should everytime are gravely mistaken. As a result, you guys scream out ECM blinker when things that you are unaware of happen. Oh and btw any ECM blink would show a brief strobe, or the contact would actually blink on scope. It will not ever be a "solid" contact.

Well said Frostie!
