I can see exactly where this comes from. If slots are allocated based upon how high your rank is, then one would assume from this that all the veterans of previous events, and by no means a ludicrous assumption to make, your friends would be given first choice of slots beating out any potential other pilots at a chance to play. This is actually nepotism, this is how it comes across. I for one feel the event should be fully inclusive and there really wasn't anything particularly disorganised I noticed about the previous 2 rounds registration methods, and I followed the last 2 rounds closely seeing as friends of mine participated in both. Additionally; how about reserving some of the slots for the open registration part?

RIP DCS multiplayer

Why is the event based upon the ranks when I guess most of the DCS community hold no ranks. Not only this but the ranks seems rather arbitrary and you only become ranked through SA events. Makes no sense to me really.

I don't understand this mentality of playing a combat flight sim to do unarmed aerobatics

Yeah but you need at least 16gb of RAM to get it smooth

I don't think DCS is supposed to run on an iphone

There are plenty of better servers out there friend. Try it some time :)

The SierraHotel one is still up, however nobody ever plays it. At least there's on server, not like MiG 21 vs F-5E which has none. Guess the general playerbase prefers mindless 104th airquake

When's Korea Flag going back up for testing or whatever? I was away and missed a chance to take my Sabre out to smash some MiGs :^(

But clearly VPN is a temporary solution if the root cause is the server hardware itself...

How can one man be so wrong. Wanting a period correct model doesn't make us graphics whorls.

Yeah I wondered this too. We need the Mirage liveries swapped. And maybe Russian MiG 21s instead of Finnish?

It certainly is there in game. You can see it if you look close enough, perhaps it needs to be a tad larger to match with the IRL photo.

An equally amusing scenario I imagined through this argument is an infantry platoon commander seeing the launch visually and trying to frantically contact the pilot, despite him not being on the same comm net.

Thank you Tharos. This is what I'd been trying to get across all along. Perhaps I just didn't explain it in the right way.

Is getting better servers completely out of the question?

My phone has a radar.

He also said the Litening pod has a radar, but that's very wrong.

The Isreali system you mentioned isn't a type of radar a GCI would make use of. As for the rest of the post, it makes absolutely no sense to me so I don't even know where to begin.

This was literally my point. I asked if we could just disable GCI being able to see missiles in F10 view.

The GCI wouldn't see a missile on a radar screen of his scale. They have a filter applied to them you know, so it doesn't pick up birds and the like. Consider the size of a missile compared to an aircraft, and consider its speed. It isn't something a GCI could reliably, if at all, track using a radar scope. I have an idea yeah, I didn't even mention the A-10C TGP so I don't even know where you're getting that.

Because a radar operator isn't going to be able to make out an object of that size as a missile, and warn the pilot it's headed for. It's preposterous.

Yeah, I just think it's a little unfair that the GCI can spot missiles to warn pilots when the pilots themselves didn't notice a missile and the missile is something too small to be seen on a radar.

Fair enough. It's only because I've seen R27Ts that should have been a kill, only to be defeated because (What I think had happened) the GCI warned the othewise unaware pilot.

To repeat a question I I had go unanswered before, is it possible to disable the GCI from seeing missiles that have been launched?
