Jester Darrak

I'd be happy with anything like Ace Combat. They should look for or hire some japanese synthie wiz and let him do his thing.

How high will the chances be that my callsign is on the kittycat anyway? :D

If you have no chance of winning, disengage. 3 out of 7 already dropped or are not available and my participation is also not likely because of a malfunctioning throttle, I vote Team Wolfpack be taken off the roster. I'm sorry for any troubles I/we may have caused.

Can you guys check your SimpleRadio server settings? In the last update some kind of change of ports was mentioned and right now it is not possible to establish any communications. Comms where good using the BuddySpike SR server. Thank you in advance!

Yeah, I forgot to mention that in game I roll as just 'Jester', not that any confusion comes up. Can't take your memes from you, can I? :P

I'd hop in for the lonewolves as reserve if they let me. Type 15.

Sorry, can you post the picture of your settings in english, please? :D

I bet they were made in preparation for a "just-in-case" full fidelity F-15C. One still can dream, right?^^ But on the other hand the model we got with FC3 was a former Mod for FC2 by Gys&Valeri. Maybe they did it.

That's a rhetorical flat spin there... You could've just said we are bad pilots. :D @Greg: The statement that alliances and coalitions change all the time is just wrong. There wasn't any major change since the fall fo the iron curtain.

Check your radar. Turn it off and see if it helps.

We could throw cotton balls at each other until either one of us starts bleeding, but where is the fun in that? I know that some people here prefer dogfighting over BVR as the true form of combat. But then you can just make it a Vietnam, Korea or WWII scenario. But then you have to take away guided missiles form the ground pounders, make air defense guns only and so on. On the other hand we won't need the NATO-USSR seperation of airframes anymore. It just takes us too far away from what BF is known for: Modern, large-scale war with modern (-ized) aircraft. Just imagine flying for an hour in your Sabre/Fagot/Kurfürst/Stang etc. just to find out you are outnumbered 3:1 in that vertain area. No one able to support, no place to go. Alt+F4.

Maybe we should take away the R-73 from RED. That would actually be really funny!

Let me do the math here: Mirage: 4 SRM Mig29: 6 SRM Su-27: 6 SRM Su25: 4 SRM Mig-21: 4-8 SRM F-15C: 4 SRM A-10A: 4 SRM A-10C: 4 SRM F-5E: 2 SRM Synopsis: Worst decision ever. Best weapon to dogfight for blue is now the warthog. Great.

A few days ago I had a conversation about the Flaps lever in the F-15 and where to find it. Then I checked a few things in the Eagle and the A-10A and found out that almost every switch/knob animation are completely absent. Some time ago when you started the engine on the Eagle you could look at the ENG panel and see all the switches flip as the JFS came up and so on. All that's working now in the F-15 is the ATT Hold, ALT Hold and the SAS channel switches and the fuel gauge knob. The Flaps lever seems to be totally absent. On the A-10 none of the EAC/AP switches seem to work and the fuel gauge knob also has no animation which makes it hard to determine what mode is selected and if EAC is even on/working. I don't know the state of the other FC3 aircraft for sure, but missing all those animations really kills the immersion and also takes your attention away when you have to look/check for 30 seconds instead of 2 seconds. So, could we please have all the nice animations back? I'm not talking of clickable cockpits (singularity), just the switches and knobs turn as you press the keys on the keyboard.

I just ran a quick test F-16A (7M, 9M, 9P x2) vs. MiG29A (27R, 60M, 73 x2). Had them compete 5 rounds each in dogfight (start at 500ft seperation, head on) and medium range (7NM seperation, head on). MiG won every dogfight. Mid Range was 2:3 in favor of the MiG. Sparrow went stupid as soon as the motor stopped burning. In one fight the 29 took 2 missiles before it died, F-16 always went down on the first hit. Nice to know: AI fights with handbreak on, rarely exceeding 300kts, never pulling more than 3 or 4 Gs. Sissies... What about replacing the 29 instead with a 23, wouldn't that be more of a match? I think it was up until round 6 came up when the 29 took it's place, was there a specific reason?

I don't get your point either. You missed with guns pre-merge, turned around and killed him. He should of turned off afterburner and sneak away, but there is nothing that has to do with FM. -1 for bad music

That's not the point. RWR must be worth something and if you see a 29 on it you know it's a bandit. If you see a 15 on it you know it's friendly. Everything else is just Battlfield-esque and at no point authentic.

What is the Intercom for? L-39? And how does the encryption actually work? Couldn't find anything about these features.

Dear god, no!

Found it. "Radio Switch works as PTT" was unchecked. In the aftermath it actually made sense it wasn't working. Still trying to check the audio channel issue.

Global warming, my friend!

It says 1.1.8.0. Any internal revision visible somewhere to compare?

Well, that's exactly what I did. I'll retry but it started after you distured our nice little final session. ;P

Current iteration is totally borked. PTT buttons are not working correctly, totally mixed up beyond recognition. Also, audio channel separation does not work properly or is also mixed up.
