ESA_Mistr@L, i totally agree, with what you wrote! if it is like this, i would love to use the whole options in FC 2.0 together with BS. regards vienna

no doubt about what you mentioned. In coop missions. But, you might missunderstud me....i just focused on multiplayer player vs. player. i just imagine, the people i remember on all the online servers i was before. if i would enter there with the black-shark....i would be handicaped badly .-) regards vienna

Okay folks....but what i see also here is something different. What does DCS expect? Putting a high defined, highly modeled simulation like BS together with FC 2.0 ? The only way i can imagine, a good multiplay would come up is, when SU25 & BS are together in a game. anything else, like the other planes, will result in unfair situations. On one side there are the serious simulation-freaks, handle difficult systems, and flight models, and on the other side, the >arcade< gamers (compared to BS). I dont think, i will see too much, if ever in long term, FC 2.0 planes and black-shark together online, in multiplayer, player vs. player. Its sad, but i would like to see the same detail model to all other flying object, as BS has. This would make sense, specially in multiplayer gaming. Otherwise, a Mig29 pilot will be in the air and ready to fight, 10 times faster then even a BS pilot can ever do. regards Vienna

because i am from austria originally, but living in switzerland long time :-) and its not that expensive anymore, compared to euro. but this is just an initial request. and by the way, we not talking about 100-500 euro winning....i have sponsors with which we can put 5000 euro or more on the first place. so i am talking about a high class and high skill competition, which is truely worth held on a nice place, a lake surrounded by mountains :-) greets vieena

Hi all. since switzerland is quiet in the middle of europe, me and my friends want to know, how many people (squads) are interested to join a competion here. we could arrange the infrastructure and also the prices for the places. Detail, such as price money for 1st place will be announced later on, when we are in detail project. would be nice to hear some reaction on this initial request. regards vienna

arcade or sim i think, you should not be able to edit any server settings while u want to play online. as u can imagine, aracade mod is much easier to handle then sim mode. so when u fly with arcade against a sim mode pilot, u have a lot of advantage. is it this u wanna have? dont think so. so if you fly arcade, search a server where all the poeple fly with this settings. if u fly sim, do it as well. regards vienna

can some explain whats this event about? and are only clans allowed or solo pilots too? thanks and regards vienna

well, as i said, i know! that i can fire without a lock, in TWS mode, against ECM signlas. but then i ask myself, what the definition of a mad-dog is? is it maddoging when u fire without a lock? if so, then as far as i know its not allowed on RAF server. because if not, i will just check the range, by set radar to 40 miles and then guessing when about 30-25 miles, and fire all my 120 on to the ECM signal. if this then is maddoging, please tell me...hope not. thanks and regards vienna

thanks a lot... ...guys. u helped me out of my deep depression ... LOL no just joking. okay, so i will forget my references, i read at some places about missiles, and tactics, and regard to LO specific physics and technics. i can live with the knowledge of sitting in a undermodelled plane using crap (almost) missiles. thanks again and c-u soon.....but hope not on my six :-) regards vienna

okay..but correct me if i am wrong... ...as far as i read the fact is: 1. F15 has one of the strongest ECCM (can crack ECM good, when it comes into distance) 2. High speed is advantage when release misslie (range increases with high speed) 3. alltitude increases also range of missile so when head-to-head with opponent rus plane, both (me & him) has ECM on, me almost on top-speed, with altitude advantage, and then..... my radar (which should be one of the strongest in game) still showed me no lock, that means i tracked these 6-bars signal, but the rus plane fired a missle against me. so what was the result....? i had to turn and chaff&flared, to avoid missile hit, and i had still no lock...that tells me, that rus plane has not only the better missile, it looks like the radar breaks ECM far faster then F15. and yes...it was that plane which shot me down at last, because other were too far away. i dont want to whine about this now, i like that game, and i specially like to fly f15, but i just want to get confirmed, that i fly in a weak plane. if so, okay, but as you can image, its hard to accept, that i cant fly and fight :-) i probably know the advantage of my plane (so whats left of these LOL ) so you can be sure, i approach within my optimum parameters, when i enter a fight. (high speed, not too low, never go in turn fights, and if possible use TWS) thanks a lot for your comments and suggestions, and yes, seems that the 120 (whats left then??) is also under.modelled in this game. but as i said, i like that game and still will fly, but with the fact in my head, that this is not even simulated... c-u in air buddies :-) vienna

hi all maybe i recall a discussion, which was already was done, but i found something weird last night online. i was on =RAF= server and could only get 3 or 4 kills, the whole afternoon untill late night. this would be no surprise, if you would judge me as rookie. but i am definetly not. i was flying the f15 and the rate of 120 was terrible. even there was a very strange thing..... i was head on with a rus plane (dont know, maybe mig or su) i was about 25.000 feet he was definetly lower (about 5000 - 10000 feet) as me i was full AB (ground speed indicated far above 700 knts) he used ECM, me also i tracked on TWS mode (dont know what he did) i selected aim120 (he i think r77) and guess what happend?......he got a lock solution way before i got a good lock (still was tracking ECM) if somebody has an idea or can explain this, i would be happe, since this particular issue makes me very unsecure, about talking of even planes, weapons and systems in lockon. thanks a lot, and see u in air! vienna :helpsmilie:

okay, seems so. will do like recommended....thanks for help.

hi i installed flaming cliffs 1.1b over my clean lock-on. so far okay. then i installed 1.2. so far okay but then i got over my settings, and tried to configure my x52-pro hotas, within the games option. and ther was my problem. i can asigne commands to keys without any proplem. also the axis is no problem....but then when i switch to set commands to my hotas buttons, a strange behaviour comes up. every time i select a command in the list, by clicking it with mouse, and then click on CHANGE- button, the window which says: please select button ...comes up and disappears emidietly without getting a chance to push any button on my hotas. instead i see then buttons assigned ...sometimes button 33...or 35...or 38... any help on this? because i would like to set commands to my hotas within the game. not to use my x52 configurator. thanks for help greetings vienna

Hi all i generated a couple of missions and want to play them online. so i startet the MP version of BS and tried to connect my pc at home like a server. I could open and start a mission, and also i could select the heli and fly around. but i was wondering why nobody joined, even after 1-2 hours. so i shut down and re-joind as a client. and there was my IP adress still visible in the list but....without any description. also, by time, i see other IP's without description. so what went wrong? i am sure, if i appear without description its hard to get others to connect, since they dont know, any descriptions, ping..and so on. Is it maybe, that i am behind a router? i guess i've read something that IP's starting with 192. are not supported...could this be true? mine starts with 192. by the way...i can host without any problems with IL2-1949 for example, also with Lock On there is no problem. (just in case anybody want to ask me about firewall and port settings ) :-) thanks for help vienna
