104th_Crunch

Looking like it is gonna be a good one. Sign up has gone well. If you are still interested, better sign up now before it's too late.

I don't think there is enough declassified info on a tarantula. Better to go with an export model like the Cobweb spider.

I hear some Pink Floyd influence. Pink Floyd are great. Nice atmosphere in your song :thumbup:

Ahh... another excuse to post this pic One thing about A2G vs A2A MP. Ground AI, for that matter any AI of any game/sim is not like going against a human. With a human it will play out different every time. Being good at BVR/WVR involves as much depth and strategy as going in for a good ground attack. I think even more.

Don't forget to hold the release button for a few seconds, not just a tap, or you'll get a hung store.

I believe you said you have tried FC2 and Falcon 4. While A-10C rules, and A2G team vs. team is awesome, H2H is not what the A-10C is designed for, and it's not the same as a modern jet fighter where you have BVR and merges with high maneuverability and speed. The other day I tried to gun a KC-135 tanker in my A-10C. No luck. It out BFM'd me lol then ran away with it's speed :D

Personally I agree. Make 2 DCS fighters with game mode and relaxed avionics, then there is no need for FC3 survey sim.

Thanks Tyger. Yes as Evontroy points out, there are 8 per side. Hope the 74th can make it.

A non super hornet is more likely due to less of it being classified. Online tandem I believe is possible in FSX, but what will it be like when you need to fly it alone? It may be alright in that all the functions are repeated for the single seat any way. Dozer, I want to virtually smack you for that comment, but I like Killswitch too much :)

Hi Flankerator - Will this event's stats be added to the main stats afterwards? Negative - What happens in case of a team kill? I am sure it won't be intentional so nothinf special happens. The person killed will have his misson over. The teamkiller will have negative points. - Any special rules regarding "Vulching"? Negative. - Which side of runway has to be used at all times ? Left as per normal server rules - Any special priority to be observed by others for a declared emergency landing? That is up to your team and communication in game or TS

I don't care if they pay me to play it. You still have to enjoy It and even though it is free to play it still has a revenue model as noted in the post above.

Turn down all but textures. textures high (for instrument readability) water = normal visib range = medium heat blur = off shadows = active planar Connection speed in MP options = ASDL 256/128

Nice list! I hope it has all that stuff.

Thank you for the confirmation and ED's and the beta tester's hard work. Look forward to the future.

For sure. Fix everything possible before moving on. It is just that it will be hard get perfection in such an advanced sim. Even FC2 and Ka-50 still have bugs. You fix somethings with a patch and then maybe break others. Stuff that may only be found after the patch is released to the public. There may be a point where I guess ED should move on. If 99% of things are working then I think we should all be happy.

We all have our personal preferences. For sure though there are those that want and enjoy the level of detail in DCS. I agree the wait for DCS fighter is tough :) FC3 could delay it even more. What ever ED decides, I am sure it will be top notch.

The list looks great, but I hope the patch is the final patch and ED can focus on what is next. Thanks ED

What the heck. I knew all those hours by ED and beta testers were going towards something. You guys weren't just drinking vodka all that time after all!

:thumbup:

As far as I know, no. You can only use the pinky button on the stick and the ministick button on the throttle.

Although selling sims is a business, and ED are here to make money, at the same time there is a love of the aviation topic by many. Saying that you should make FC3 only because it will sell more is like saying there should only be Britney Spears music and no one should record Punk Rock :D

Slow and steady wins the race. Take your time and make her look good. Looking great so far.

When it's done ®

See me in Teamspeak this weekend, or send me a PM and I will help out Serg.

Happy BD BS! :)
