  1. Thanks Guys It was a amazing gathering of like-minded people Congrats to Berno...so glad this comp has brought him in the spotlight..an amazing talent in the beautiful BFM world. Thanks to all the pilots, a lot of fun, a lot of takeaways until the next one! A big shout out to A.S for a flawless stream, for hosting the tourney and for a great Discord place. BFM is the real deal! Don't go anywhere cauz more stuff is around the corner.

  7. Hello Thrust, Only 2 contestants and myself (referee) will be on the hosting server for any given match. Nobody else is allowed. Same applies for Discord, only 2 players and admin can chat on fight channel. Spectators can watch the live stream and chat on YT. As an organizer, I'm not affiliated with any squadron or any team whatsoever so there won't be any bias. Bracket seeding will be based on the SA Rankings and if not on past performances during SA-sanctioned DCS events, nothing is random. I have been doing this since 2012 so I have enough data to properly seed players. Please go through the rules again and let me know if you feel something has not been covered. The clearer the better.
  8. Mission file has been updated (no major changes only minor tweaks to carrier deck, weather and day time).
  9. Mashing the printscreen key causes lag, hence the ban. 750 indicated air speed. Dumping fuel makes your aircraft lighter and increases its speed and turning capability at the expense of air time (tradeoff). You can check the mission file, its available for download and has been built similar to what you described. You are welcome.
  10. We have trimmed down player numbers to 16 instead of 32. We are still trying to go back to 32 players but 16 first slots are guaranteed to take part.
  11. The problem with lag is that it doesn't always appear the same way to everybody on the server, you may for example experiment it but not your opponent, and the referee/host may or may not see it either... So if both sides confirm a significant performance-altering lag and agree to reset, so be it. There just must be a mutual agreement for the reset to happen without the referee stepping in. The referee may also decide to knock it off and reset if he sees a good amount of lag that may be detrimental to either contestant. So to sum it up: either both players agree or the admin steps in, if none, fight must go on. Unfortunately, lag will always be a threat when it comes to online competition...we just try to minimize the pings of the players as much as possible but there will never be a guarantee so to speak. ..one of the reason I stress contestants to reset their routers, reboot, shut down all unnecessary apps that may use bandwidth...etc.

  13. Here you go guys, here is the official After Action Report-------------->http://sa-sim.com/hornet-cup-razer-razors-through-stiff-competition/
  14. Thanks Stuge, always equally classy in victory and defeat. That was a great tourney and I'm happy that I ran this show after many months away from DCS. Aside from the lag which I believe was very occasional and only happened a couple of time in 16 matches, I think it's fair to say that it was overall a smooth experience. Once again, sportsmanship and healthy competition atmosphere were key so I'd like to thank every contestant for that. A big thank you also goes to the folks who enjoyed watching this event live and for their words of encouragement. I'd also like thank A.S for hosting this competition in his Discord channel, it's truly a good place that reminds a lot of former HyperLobby. Last but surely not least, congratulations to Razer for the win, Razer's aggressive style yet very calm mindset allowed him to come on top against many big names on his way to victory. And yet again, Finnish pilots dominated the show with Razer, Kapsu and Stuge taking all top 3 spots. Rankings will be updated soon and hopefully, it won't be too long before I come back with a new dcs showdown. Cheers fellas.
  15. Gents, action will start shortly! Day 2 will be streamed on YT: https://gaming.youtube.com/user/FLANKERATOR/live

  21. Hi gents, Here are the brackets and match schedule. All times are in ZULU-----> REFERENCE CLOCK----->https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/timezone/zulu DCS Branch--------->Latest version of Open Beta (if OB gets another update in the meantime, please run the update - if you are on Stable version, it is really easy to switch to Open Beta, please refer to Post#2 of this same thread for reference, call in the Command Prompt and navigate to your BIN folder inside your DCS folder before running the Updater) Server name-------->Situational Awareness - SA-SIM.COM password------------>will be given to you on Discord Discord address----->https://discord.gg/ktbTkDW (please use Discord App not the browser-based version and set it to Push-to-Talk) Discord channel----->DCS-HORNET-CUP Please, be on Discord at least 15mn before the start of your match, if you fail to turn up, we will unfortunately have to call in another contestant off the wait list. Please, reboot your computer and router just before tuning up on Discord (unclogs your bandwidth and helps preventing bad connection and drop offs, which may cost you the match) Please turn off Windows Updater or any app that may run automatically in the background while you are flying as it may cause lag/warping. If you are lagging too much in relation to the server, we will have to stop the match and grant your opponent a walk over win. All matches will be live streamed on Twitch. Any queries, please PM here. Good luck to you all! Reserve List If you are on the reserve list and would like to try your luck, please show up on Discord and let me know in there that you are available - I will grant you a seat if someone doesn't show up.
  22. See you in the next one. Eniks has got a seat now! Registration for Main Draw is closed now! Registration for the wait list will remain open until kick off.
  23. Thanks for letting us know in advance. Sorry but it's first come first serve for the reserve list and next person in line was PROTON. Hopefully, we'll see you in the next one!
