I can crawl here after it all ended and just say for those who was sad about ranking places:
"Your house your rules", yes organizers can do whatever they want with their event.
And for organisers:
If you would say "guys we want to promote our own users of SA community so they will be given priority this time" plain and straight, I think there will be no questionts after that.
Instead of this you pulled some commentaries after which one could think that there is no good pilots apart form SA ranking list (that was the reason of bitching in this thread).
Anyway our MiG-21 squad enjoyed watching this event and me and some other guys promoted it in our biggest DCS facebook group and we had many positive feedbacks from people who was watching it!
3 minutes of google gives me this:

But nowadays Raytheon make those missiles and they upgrading it.
Very exciting prizes and event.
But 10 players limit and open registration can't come together in my opinion. With such player limit invintational event is the way. I already see pissed off people on registration :(
My problem is not activation itself, but that it detects those "significant changes" too often and keep spending my activations, I'm down to three now so it is like I can launch DCS three times and then my activations are gone...
Я знаком с организаторами Blue Flag. Они сейчас отдыхают.
Ничего конкретного не запланировано. Они обычно прислушиваются к пожеланиям.
Было предложение после выхода F-5 сделать МиГ-21 против F-5 (+ вертолеты и штурмы из FC3), было предложение про "Корейскую эру" и т.д.
Они напишут официально что будет следующим, как придумают...
FC3 радар еще можно понять почему люди могут считать "упрощёнными".
Но как бы если уж заявили про миг и мираж, так пожалуйста объясните почему заранее ставите F-5 на полку выше?
Это очень плохая практика. Не надо так...
Так же шкуры эти делают как пирожки. Поставишь за PayWall. Так будет куча шкур сделанных юзерами за бесплатно... Глупость всё это..
Предзаказ нужен для того, чтобы помочь разработчикам деньгами. Спланировать такую разработку очень сложно а есть то им что-то надо, вот и всё. Хватит уже пытаться выделится.. Выделятся надо в небе "перформансом".. IMHO
F-5 was built to negate MiG-21, to defeat it. When you restrict those missiles you doesn't think about F-5 maneuverability. In merge MiG-21 doesn't have much chances...
You asking too much. How people supposed to know how much lives they should give to even it with BLUE's lost lives...
Those problems are there and DCS is not perfect, my advice to you: STOP LOOKING AT BLUE FLAG AS AT FAIR BALANCED TOURNAMENT. It simulates war, not football or hockey match, and it runs from DCS, bugs will be there.
PS that bug with planes still flying with wings ripped off is ancient...
This is rather worrying thing, so in youtube video above we saw that movement was slight. But you said you experienced cases when it could go down to the floor? I need to try it aswell...
