Pitot

How come people still talk about "figuring out the best fighter" when the thread was clearly not about that? It was a guy being curios and wanting us to share our stats for fun or comparison of results at one DCS server. Not a combat pilot career. I am starting to fear this place, some people here talk like they believe they're real fighter pilots (with due respect to those who are, but they don't act up over the forums as far as I see and are modest). And I am not even trolling, I am seriously afraid of this place now.

EDIT: POLL Added so all of you who disagree can simply click option 2 or 3 and leave us discussing. :) Russian Text If someone would like to translate this properly (I can understand most of it, but my russian is not good enough to write a quality translation) you would see some interesting things. Among them is that the Sorbitsya is capable of creating decoys - false targets - "ложные цели" - literally "false targets" apart from "noise" that is modeled in DCS. Can we expect, in undefined future, to have this implemented? Also, I'd really like for someone to translate this for other forum users and post translation here. EDIT: Valuable info found later in the thread - pasting the quote so y'all can find it easy: Translated Panels: Answer and better info about them:

My in game setting is 1 Monitor. Is that the setting, or are you saying that I need to edit the lua file that commands it? K is not removing kneeboard when entering LAlt+F1 mode - at least not for me. Advise? EDIT: It does remove kneeboard, but how to remove MFD?

I know. It has a minimap and MFD overlay. Not very useful for making a nice gun-video. Tho - is there a way to remove that - which I am missing all this time?

I used to say that it would be great for movie-making in DCS to be able to fly a session with AI, then open TRK and when it loads RAlt+J into the AI while 1st plane recreates your flying, so you can do wingman stuff and then save it as a new TRK. XD

But nope, some people eagerly await for a chance to blame someone for anything, just to vent their own frustrations. Winchester is a nice guy, and likes to have fun and communicate. Anyone even mentioning, after the quote up there, anything about "who's best", or "di*ckfight" or similar things is very likely a person who has the same problems they accuse others of. Thumbs up Winchesterdelta1 for being a guy with no bad intentions. Sorry your thread went wrong way. Tho I have to say that stats in DCS are far from anything that can be used for discussion, analysis or even fun, so you had to combine that with the number of uber-pilot-minds out there and realize that: 1. Anyone jealous of your score is going to attack you 2. If you posted a negative score, they'd be the first to post better scores than yours are. :)

Check private messages.

Well, gents, if there is someone out there who'd like to team up and train together on somewhat regular basis together, send me a private message. ATM I am mostly flying Su27, Su25A, Su25T with accent on Su27. I fly for 5+ years, but I don't consider myself a very skilled pilot. If interested, few points to be taken: - If we fly together, we're equal and actions are decided trough agreement on best course of action, - I am writing this because I would like to have a colleague pilot that will practice with me 2 or more times per week, as RL things lets us, and achieve a good level of combined performance and team work, - Practicing/Training would include all aspects of flying, not just combat. Expect touch and go trainings, navigation trainings, all kind of things that don't include combat - but also combat trainings and public server sorties, - It could be said that I am a talkative guy and I have a slightly weird sense of humor. Language - I can speak English fluently, and also Balkan area languages. Ingame Callsign: Icecream

"There is no rule, law or limitation saying that the ISP has to allow current connections to complete or expire before switching IP addresses on you." Some Forum BTW - I was unaware of this problem for people playing DCS. It sounds horrible... But given the amount of things that need to be synced on a DCS server and regarding the latency, no way that they can do anything reasonable to prolong time that you're allowed for reconnect when you're online on a multiplayer server, especially when it comes to router reset/reaquire_new_leased_IP. That takes for what - 30 seconds? Imagine the DCS server trying to figure/fix up that kind of desync. Just too much for this kind of a game. You don't need "allow IP change", you just need longer time allowed by DCS to reconnect when server "loses you". You basically DO lose connection... Jeez, I feel so sorry for ya mate :/

In some old versions we had a camera where you could see only HUD on your screen. Keystroke would directly remove cockpit from the screen and leave HUD only. Fancy for making videos. For a long time I don't see that option (If i remember, it was LShift+F1 maybe) available. If it is hard to re-introduce it because of new 3D 6DOF cockpits, lemme know too :) I think it was "lost" around that time when 6DOF started entering the Flaming Cliffs. If it was rebinded to another keystroke, let me know :D

That is just how some ISP work. In modern era, where the dial-up modems are long dead, reasons are usually: 1. Distinction between consumer and professional users. Consumer has dynamic IP, if you want static - pay for it. 2. Dynamic IP ISP Policy is used as a prevention for running servers on a consumer package, forcing users to pay for professional service, but also ensuring lower bandwidth usage from consumer-level users. 3. Dynamic IP solves many problems in setting up a general wide area network from ISP point of view. Not able to explain better, since that specific part is not well covered in my know-to-do list. Hope that answers your question :)

Modern Era: 1. Balkans 2. F15E 3. F14 4. Mi24 5. AH64 WWII: 1. Il-2 2. Hawker Tempest and Hawker Typhoon 3. Lavochkin La7 4. Mig1 and Mig3 5. Grumman F7F 6. Petlyakov Pe-3

There is at least one another instance of same problem. Thank you for helping :)

That is the point mate, I wasn't even near the point where you enter a slot. It was while entering the server. Connection was established from the perspective of the server and me, but I wasn't yet able to do anything in game. I suppose someone else's using the weapon at given time caused the crash because my client was interpreting what is happening on the server, since I was connected to it. But also be advised: Since the last 2 updates, I have a lot of problems with the specific 373 server. See if these other people having the same issue (something related to rockets, according to logs) have it on another servers.

Most of us knew what you said even without that, but it is nice to pay attention to that XD

Not just AA people, mipmap setting can also deteriorate these things even with high AA as far as I can remember. He clearly said he has AA set to very high, are you reading at all? :D

Are those happening when you try to connect to server, like ours did, or while actually being in air?

This is, basically, a museum - since it is open for public.

Since we have a trolling thread obviously, I would just like to add that I wish for DCS Paper Planes DLC.

I wish people would elaborate at these forums when they say something so we don't have to guess and waste time trying to figure out what they wanted to say :D Some references can surely be obtained, even with airplanes in bad condition I believe. If needed, ofc. We don't know do they need any more references at this point. Also, I believe that it is a place where they can get additional info, just like you can get info at Duxford...

A good place to visit, or ask someone to visit it for you. I hear it's open to public... ;) Davis-Monthan Air Force Boneyard in Tucson

And content recycling, that must be mentioned in such sentence :D

Yeah.... I am the OP. Here is the thread: Combat Flight Planner. Merge, admins?

Respect!

I have figured that also, skatezilla, but since I have no mods installed, and also did a repair after the update - I suppose this is considered a bug? And yeah, I am also having an increased number of CTD when connecting to servers since the last update. Before the update it happened fairly rarely.
