Mostly what causes the lag on your server seems to be when the bombers spawn and especially when their bombs impact the target. Usually the game stutters and freezes just as the bombs hit the target. As cool as watching the fireball at 2fps is it doesn't help mid dogfight.

+1 Was about time...

Spit is still bugged after the latest patch.

MW50 isn’t refilled on rearm refuel. Long time bug that still hasn’t been fixed afaik. As far as ‘balance’ the best thing to do would be model one of the low altitude G14 or G6s. AS versions won’t be that different from the K4, but the Beule is a bit draggier. Puts it in a spot where it’s a bit faster than the spit and a bit slower than the mustang. Giving the mustang another 200hp probably won’t change a lot, not that it shouldn’t get it. And that’s also assuming that the mustang gets higher octane fuel and the Germans don’t get C3. IIRC sithspawn said ed was looking into both.

AI doesn't use same FM's as player aircraft. On excellent they do display some slightly 'UFO'ish behaviour but they are still beatable 1 on 1.

I already have... a couple times actually :)

Even just an interim thing somewhere other than Normandy Anticipation would be great. The current map is just the same nonsense over and over again. Especially with more players back on the server.

Trying some field landings with the new terrain mesh on Caucasus.

Eekz there are also still spits in the Gali mission btw.

^^ already fixed.

Thanks Yo-Yo. :)

Hi Yo-Yo, Maybe a silly question but which of the pictures is photo 13? You refer to it several times but none of the screenshots are labeled 13? Thank you for the posts. Very interesting to read.

Also isn't whats missing for the T-Bolt wind tunnel and flight test data? Or something about the landing gear? And if they weren't far enough with the Radial Engine model by the time the Yak was announced such that it's engine model is 'paving the way' for the P-47, I doubt they would be far enough with it now so that it will be released anytime soon. Sounds like marketing speak to me.

That video was made by several dcs players in an attempt to gather evidence to convince ed to change elements of the fm relating to trim and cog. They were then promptly told they were wrong and at least one of them banned from the forums iirc.

Hey sure if the 1 little minus point on your make believe K/D bothers you that much then by all means lets just put back in the uber flak so that everyone who flies too badly to win a dogfight can run away and hide over the base until the coast is clear enough for him to climb back to outer space again. tbh it's the same 2 or 3 people actually strafing every time anyway. Just ban them and be done with this nonsense.

.....??? I think you read my post in a significantly different tone than it was written.

Or you know, you could spawn at the other airfield you have available........

99% of people seem to get lost just flying the 2 minutes to the delta. Or they don’t know how to take off. If you put airfields further apart you might as well play single player... These problems can really be solved by better mission design, not just putting airfields 5 min farther away.

I believe the conclusion was that this was not the case in the K4 or only on a test basis. In any case it wasn’t well recorded. Best you can hope for in this regard is a G10.

It seemed to get more reliable for a while but its back to being as bad as it ever was, at least for the WWII side of things. And no I have definitely had it without switching slots recently. Unfortunately 2200 zulu might be a bit late for me this week so I probably won't be able to make it myself, just thought I'd mention the issue with the scoring system. It doesn't happen every time, but when it does it will happen like 3 times in a row (noticed it after the many disconnects due to spit engine bug kicking people from the server recently).

As cool as this idea is, the dcs scoring system is incredibly unreliable. More times than not I get a loss counted against my score before even taking off in the burning skies server.

Yes will be very helpful for killing B-17s that lose wings to 2 50 cal bullets anyway...:lol:

Meh, sound like plastic to me, old sounds were better...

The spits are not the only cause of disconnects. I doubt this will completely solve the problem.
