Sounds like you should turn down the contrast a little bit, and up the brightness ?

So i'm trying this blind spot against A.I ... 1) Is this about right ? Is this what those pesky mountain hiding migs are doing ? 2) Why on earth does the A.I climb when it's trying to get a lock on me ? This really baffles me. eqaHavcpTmI

Told you. Tracks are always "corrupted" since the last patch :cry: The best way to be able to see a full track is to taxi as little as possible. (take off taxi way if you must, but is not allowed on most servers) It always goes wrong while taxi-ing. So the more bends you had to make while taxi ing, the more likely the track will fail miserably. I hate it very much.

ok fair enough

Well yeah , when you get a RWR warning , the enemy SHOULD have you on his radar sight doesn't he ? Like, unless he has his range set to 20 miles, he should be seeing you. That's what i meant by "looking at you", as in you are on his VSD. Also, when you get locked up the RWR definately tells you someone is looking at you :d p.s: Nice for the background info ! But i doubt all this is modeled into the game. I think that in this game RWR warning simply means , that he can see you. (unless notch, but even than how can you be sure , best to assume he's able to see you)

Well yeah when the chase started i still had the tanks on. Then when i saw he was outrunning me (fast), even at that altitude i did drop them, but halted the chase soon after because i did not suspect it would make a big enough difference . I guess i should have kept going :cry: Next time tanks are coming of as soon as i need to do ANY kind of manouvring OMG! I thought a NEW missile was fired everytime the launch sound was made ! This manual is epic. I think i'm gonna read it. So, this must mean, that if i myself fire a missile, WAIT about 15 seconds, and fire another, my enemy might think it's an old missile ! RIGHT ? 100% fail-proof tactic ? -_-

I can never get above 350 knots @ 40k, especially when also climbing Gonna test now. edit* Holy mother of christ, he must have had dropped all his missiles or something. F15 without missiles is CRAZY fast now :-O Had no idea drag had been changed that much

1) You need to press "paus" when you see the map. Then you will see that the timer starts, and a couple of seconds later, the track begins. 2) Not that it matters, because according to the track you will end up in the grass next to the runway sooner or later.

Excellent thread, i learned a lot today, simple stuff but VERY needed stuff. For instance i did NOT know that you only get an RWR warning if the bad guy is actually scanning you . (so sees you on his radar) I always thought (for a LONG time actually), that a RWR warning was just pointing out "a" radar source. I did not know it was actually pointing out, that that radar was looking at YOU . Suddenly the RWR is 10x more usefull . Another question, I was @ about 14k , doing full burners top speed with about 6 missiles , no tanks, and about half inner tank. Tracking a dude who was @ 40k . I check my closure rate, and it says -212 . And he was CLIMBING. I can't even reach beyond ... 350 (?) @ that altude. How did he get his speed so high ? I'd love to see the tacview file of today, but of course, it's *(&&ÎNG borked ... AGAIN . And AGAIN while taxi-ing. (seriously WHAT is up with that after this patch !>?!>?!?!?!)

So, i've been trying some new stuff today and it isn't working Question 1 How do i actually take advantage of "the notch" (god that term sounds so lame) . I mean, at some point i have to turn to him to fire right ? When i'm only starting to turn back slightly, i get back on his radar and he has the advantage. Also, you need to be lower than your enemy, another advantage for him. Question 2 Defense manouvre, say a missile is launched at me from 20 nm, but i want to wait a bit and get closer. How do i QUICKLY defeat his missile while keeping him in my radar ?

Sli works great, crossfire apparently not at all. OX0CQNYnqxo Anyway, if you can play @ 23 frames per second, great but i don't understand how that is even playable. If you have a 1000 pounds to spend on your computer, (mobo + proc + video) , i think you will jizz right in your pants when you are suddenly playing on 100 fps. From what i read it seems that for gaming the i5 4670K is a pretty sweet deal. Altough for that 100 dollars more, i'd personally go with the i7 4770K myself , even though it won't matter much in gaming performance, especially not for DCS. As for graphics, not really in the mood to get deep into it, just remember that nvidia sli works for DCS, and crossfire does not. ( i could almost not believe it when i was told that crossfire didn't work for DCS but there you have it. ) Here's an epic site for comparing hardware : It's called "anandtech bench". Just first choose the hardware you want to compare by clicking on one of the pictures, Then, in the right drop down menus choose the ones you want to compare against eachother. http://www.anandtech.com/Bench/CPU/2

yes it does, not sure if it works this well in real life (i doubt it), but yes.

Not really, you literally have nowhere to run or hide. You can't really do any defensive manouvres cause you'll either spin right out of control, or lose too much speed/heigh instantly and are now also contraling while you have almost no speed and losing altitude fast. Then, you can only go down to gain some speed , towards EVERYBODY that spotted your "shoot me" smoke trail. And everybody that you flew over cause your radar didn't pick them up. They are now behind you as you tumble down like a limp duck :-( Also, 640 knots ... this means full burner constantly . I've tried this method, i'm no expert but i'm not completely retarded either, it works, but not against a decent pilot. And not on a busy server. At least not on a consistant basis.

it does feel nice to get a kill like that, but the time window you can keep him on your radar is really short when you're up that high, if you spot him at all. If you do spot him, and he does not spot you, there is very little escape for him , sometimes he doesn't even get a missile warning at all if the missile is coming from a big enough angle. (almost straight down) But, you're super vulnerable up there. If they see you, you're screwed.

Well your privacy is getting raped constantly already , but i understand what you say. I to try as much as possible to minimize my privacy rape'ge

I was REALLY done with google once i had to make a stupid google account just to get access to my (crappy) youtubes. Then google started asking for my freaking PHONENUMBER every 3 minutes, then giving "suggestions" of people i should add, randoms out of my mailbox Share this, share that **** OFF google :mad:

You had that pic in your pocket the whole time didn't you, waiting for a chance to use it -_- :)

Something wrong with the server(s) today ? It was unplayable , other servers as well btw . Some people were pulling off all kinds of epic manouvres :D sADAJYOAjUs

A sloth saying "soon" . hmm ... Not sure what to think of that :huh:

When's this "edge" due ?

oops double post

I don't quite onderstand the question. But if you buy a 4k/1440p screen, you don't want to game on it @ 1080P, because it will look like dogsh^t. (in other words, don't use anything besides the native resolution of the monitor, but this is common knowledge) As for 1080P on a 27 inch screen, i HEAR it's not bad, sure your pixels are bigger but from what i hear it looks ok. Never seen it myself though. Other than that, i have no experience with higher resolution monitors , seems like awesome sauce, but only if you have the graphic power to keep it all fluent. Watching a slideshow isn't fun, even when it's @ high res :d Also 60 hz instead of 120 hz could be considered a sacrifice. WHY CAN"T WE HAVE IT ALLLLLL >_<

The very definition of "surround sound" dictates that the sound has to be coming from AROUND you. You are "surrounded" by sound. You can't be surrounded by two speakers in front of you. No scientific study in the world can change this fact. Sure you can trick the brain making it kind of feel like it's coming from behind you, but it's not. For sound to be coming from behind you, a speaker has to be behind you. That's all i'm saying.:(

I didn't even know there were training missions in FC3 for the F15, this is good news. Downloading however, is taking FOREVER, it's 3,3 GB and dl speed is ... 150 kb :-(

How can a JET fighter be good at CAS ? Doesn't it go way too fast to be of actual use to nearby ground troops ?
