Yeah i removed it , just 30 seconds of missiles hitting enemy and enemy not dying One more question : At 6:30 in this vid i'm pretty sure a bunch of missiles are fired at me, but i see nothing on tacview ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=3PxRxY_sESo

ah i see ... Ok thank you

Yeah just watched the track file. First i lost was a helicopter. Not so strange cause it seems they're almost impossible to lock on sometimes . He was probably moving very slow and low or something. Second one just freefalled straight down from 20.000 to 5.000 feet as fast as he could. No wonder i lost him off the radar i guess . Third one went behind a mountain . He was chasing my team mate, and as soon as i lost him off my radar, my gut was telling me to turn the other way full burners cause he was very close , and had no radar on . Just as i want to turn away, i tell myself "no, be more aggresive!" , so what do i do ? I see a new target, and tell myself "the other guy is probably dead" . And while i'm TWS'sing my new target, i get his feeling that i'm gonna die any second cause of that dude that i told myself was probably dead. Bam ET hit me from the side :D This is very cool though, i will explain why : 1) The TAC-tracks are beginning to look more and more as to what they looked in my head when i was flying. It's no longer a complete mystery , i feel like i'm getting a better sense of distances and altitudes by going off radar. 2) I knew almost to the second when i was going to die from that mountain dwelling SU-27 with his ET's . I could just feel it coming ... "any second now..." bam . It was no surprise . So that's good to i guess. It's was a good flight in terms of learning. And i even got a pretty sweet kill myself on a mig-29s that had no idea what hit him untill it was too late. Also nice kil "goah" or something :) I should have ran when i got that uncomfortable feeling :D p.s: What's a "doppler_notch" ? Can you explain it further ? The picture does not do it for me, does the doppler have trouble trackign targets that are moving sideways from it ? (from left to right?)

I'm setting my scanzone exactly so that the enemy falls right in the middle . Just when i'm in good range to fire, they disappear . Then 2 seconds later , they re-appear, but then i can't lock them for some reason ? Then i manage to lock for a split second and they disappear again. What is this ?

We were flying next to eachothher. My AIM missile reached a top speed of 2.1 mach. His R-27 ER reached 3.1 mach . Just checked it . Missiles were flying relatively straight . Didn't know the ER was that much faster. THe R77 is slower than the AIM 120 though

So, i need some tips. There's a couple of engagment in this vid, and at one point i almost get owned by a cannon . I get one kill out of 3 engagments, and it's a defenseless helicopter :-( How could i have won these other engagments, relatively SAFELY ? If i would have to answer that, i just need to take more risk ? Or ? ... ? 3PxRxY_sESo http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=3PxRxY_sESo Take off @ 1:50 First fight @ 5:40 Seond fight @ 9 :00 (turns into me being chased down with guns :_( ) Third fight is nothing p.s: You deserved to kill me Anakin, i actually felt bad when i watched the tacview and see a Sam got you in the middle of our dogfight that i was gonna lose for sure :-(

"lag before missile impact" ? Well, that can only be explained by 1) Lagswitch and 2) PRTScreen Obviously :D Anyway, it just happened again on another server :-( ... Ka-50 , i even saw the explosion . Do they have thick armor or something ? He just continued to fly around when i checked Tacview LoL :-( And Bengo, you're absolutely right. It's just that since i'm a 3.5 K/D infantry godhuman in BF3 ( :D ) , i'm still adapting to these mechanics and net etiquette, and mostly to the fact that i'm not owning everybody with ease :-( Over here people are also very gentle and curtious , it's quite the shocker for me. I'll try to behave accordingly . Excellent servers, all of them by the way . Like i said, i'm just trying to find my place :) p.s: How much faster, and how much more range does the R27-ER have over the AIM 120b ? It looked seriously fast in Tacview

Well , turns out i should have had that kill :-( 3 120's hit him, but somehow i still didn't get the score sZ7dpMnUqFE

So, i flew 30 minutes. This means i have to look at empty map for 30 minutes , then watch in tacview ? Guys, just enable tac view already . I mean seriously, how many people honestly would be watching REPLAYS while flying ? You can't watch it real time while flying so , i don't see the problem really .

Well, i played on the 104th just now. Fire 2 missiles at enemy plane from no escape zone ... Then i get hit by Ground to Air missile. So i wait for my kill message ... nothing . WTF . So i think oh yeah "no tacview on this server" , so i select "replay" ... All i get is an empty map. And when i close it, DCS crashes. f^ck this nonsense, I NEED TACVIEW exactly for these mystery misses . Tacview is ESSENTIAL . Not playing on 104th anymore , deciding to have no replay option whatsoever, for the sake of maybe 1 out of 100 sad f^cks that MAY watch REPLAYS while they're still in game, is stupid. Downloading and installing super awesome Tac View right now ;)

I've read many forum posts that that does not work. It seems that windows won't let you format a windows partition, it's a safety feature . I'm gonna try something else , i'll disconnect my main hard drive, so i'm 100% sure it doesn't get corrupted by some faulty windows install on another disk. Then i insert the old disk, boot up from DVD, pretend to do a fresh install on the old disk . Make it format the disk from the windows DVD. Then when it's done formatting, turn off the machine :)

Disk unbootable, now i upgraded to : Intel 3770K (on Corsair H80i watercooling) Asrock extreme 4 Some 2x4 GB 1600 mhz Ram New PSU (1000 watt coolermaster) Samsung 250 GB SSD drive (god i love that one) Two GTX 680's in SLI Oh, p.s : I do have one technical question about windows ... I now have 2 hard drives, and both still have windows on them installed. And i want to format them and use them for recording and stuff . BUT, i'm afraid, that if i connect one of the disks to my computer, the windows installation on the old disk, will interfer with my brand new installation on my SSD drive. How can i safely format those 2 spare HDD's ??

ok good, i'll try that damn, downloads are capped at 1 MB :-( Got a 120 mbit connection here :-((

It's stupid really . I have flaming cliffs and lomac . But, for flaming cliffs i need to install lomac . So, i have to : 1) Install lomac 2) Install Flaming Cliffs 3) Install DCS world . There's got to be an easier way

So, on a fresh windows install, harddrive crashed . What is the easiest way to install flaming cliffs ? I really don't want to install starforce :-(

Couldn't find the server ? Also, shit keeps crashing, freezing my whole computer. Only multiplayer , it's stuttery can crappy like hell, and when some stuff is happening, or even when i make a sharp turn it just freezes up and i need to f^cking reboot

Is anyone flying this afternoon maybe ? Maybe form a 2, 3 or 4 man squad on TS ?

Well that's good enough for me :) I did not know the game also recorded flight data . Thanks :))

I'm sorry but i don't understand that. How can i replay a track when nothing is being recorded ? I'm not super skilled with tacview, i only know how to open a file and look at it.

Why, do you have 2 screens ? :D ^

Single player doesn't really do it ofr me with this game . Honestly, all that i'm interested in at this moment becoming a better air to air pilot, in multiplayer. I play a lot of FPS, so you can imagine i'm always weary about cheaters because they're quite common there. But in BF3 for instance you can pretty well find out if someone is a cheater. (statistics of all players are all kept and incredibly detailed, down to every bullet fired ) And there's Punkbuster . To me, Tacview was the only thing that was some sort of checking tool , and i don't think i can play knowing i can never check what happened when i want to check it out. I mean, i totally understand the underlying sentiment of removing tacview , but i'll be playing on tacview enabled servers probably, and accepting the risk of some pathetic alt-tabbing piece of sh^t .

Man, this puts a huge damper on my would be multiplayer fun to be honest . :-(

Well yeah but you can only VIEW the track, after it's closed down right ? So, worst case scenario, you have a guy that has two computers, and then logs in as a spectator on his second computer. Then, while he's flying on his first computer, he has to leave the server on his second computer, to look at the file he just recorded, and see where enemies are , or better said "were" , at the moment he logged of his second computer ? And he has to keep repeating this procedure ? How many people are so desperate that they would do such a silly thing ? Also, how about just not allowing spectators for more than say a minute or someting ? One more thing, tacview is , for me personally, kind of my ANTI CHEAT fail safe. It gives me re-assurance taht i can always look back what happened . It seems to me that the pro's of having tacview outweigh the negatives by a somewhat large margin ?

I thought "live streaming" was impossible ? I was assured of this long time ago
