Whilst we all understand, respect and indeed agree with your opinion, we also have to understand that all rights are not absolute and certainly not in this instance. There has to be a little bit of give and take from both sides in order to reach a satisfactory solution in this instance. As Matt stated, ED are re-evaluating the circumstances governing the 3 day period. What we need to do as consumers is to give ED constructive feedback as it relates to the three-day period and why it is not a good idea, apart from infringing on your right to choose - as I said, rights are never absolute in cases such as these. What circumstances are there that would arise where this 3-day period will inconvenience a user to such an extent as to qualify for a serious infringement on said user's rights of use and enjoyment of the game purchased? Start listing such examples in an objective, constructive manner. Only then will we all be able to aid ED in arriving at a satisfactory solution.

Thnks c0ff - as Sith confirmed, all we needed was confirmation that this applied to single as well as multiplayer and that both single and multiplayer instances will be unavailable after three days with out a valid phone-in authentication.

Yeah thank you Sith - that is what everyone was asking these past ten threads :) All we needed confirmed was that Single-Player will not be possible without verification after three days.

Worst-case scenario is we wait till Saturday when the first batch of phone-homes are scheduled for, provided that someone remembers to unplug their phone-jack. Would be nice to have a definitive answer now though.

This very question has now been asked in ten pages in various guises and we still do not have an answer. Would someone in the know please be so kind as to take the time to answer this simple question so we can move the discussion forward? :) It seems a pretty simple question: If the 4-day period ceases, yes, we understand the phone-verification takes place upon next login. Case closed. However Is said login limited to multiplayer only, ie we can continue to play Single-player indefinitely or is said login single AND multiplayer, in which case we will be unable to play single OR multiplayer unless a phone-in verification is attended to on day 5. Which one is it?

A well-worded letter confirming what we already knew. Funny how some things take repeated repeating before it hopefully sinks in :D

You are confused: http://www.listal.com/list/evolution-combat-flight-simulators Ironhand is quite correct.

Would have been exceedingly good if life actually worked that way :D

Albatros is not a primary trainer. C-101 is not Russian. Hawk is definitely not Russian. So no, we don't have anything at present that fits the role for which the Yak fulfills. It's good to have the framework for simulation of real-life training progression, especially for virtual Russian squadrons.

No bother at all :)

Herewith tracks converted to videos in case of playback issues and for ease of reference. At the risk of stating the obvious, all credit to bbrz for airmanship.

Why don't you just capture a video via Shadowplay (or AMD equivalent) and post it up. That way people can see what it is you are trying to convey.

At a guess, to combat fixation, especially where trainees are concerned.

He's earned his rest. His music will live on forever. ~S~

A luxury never afforded to me being almost exclusively a T-Toad pilot. Tried once though.....ended up shovelling truffles..... But yes, those fast-jets were a proper nuisance doing that.

In the good old days, sans external views on MP servers, this was a rite of passage for a newbie.............getting absolutely horribly lost trying to find the runway while your buddies are getting pounded, hearing their screams over comms whilst you amble along aimlessly...... Man, I got properly lost a good few times on some of those airbases :megalol:

In your pic above we have one light bulb only illuminated. That's another aspect we do not have access to in-SIM. Might help to give us a comprehensive explanation of how things actually work IRL vs how they are currently implemented In-SIM so as to better understand what we are working with. Are all three bulbs independantly contrrolled on the real bird? What bulb is used when and so on and so on. Wouild be appreciated, if only to sqatisfy our curiosity :)

Bigger than mine and I'm doing fine so you'll be OK :thumbup:

Percentage? 1% better? 10% better?

Same here. Once tried, there's absolutely no going back. Need a decent GPU though to run 3440x1440.

Yep.

Aye, the transition occurs 5 seconds after touchdown. That's what we are missing it seems - I would assume that it's an automatic transition to one-bulb illumination from two-bulb illumination as opposed to a pilot toggle. Then again, you know what they say about ass-u-ming. Also still does not explain the three-bulb illumination during taxi of the other vid....

Yeah, I'm thinking that there is something amiss. Interesting to note also is that on the Russian Knights rollout in your vid you can see the illumination to the right (9min31sec) as well.
