Maybe try and get the guys from IVAO interested in FC 2.0, they (try to) do world-wide ATC for MSFS.

No, with THC it's the other way round :D

That depends on the type of mission and / or server. For some missions you could announce that TS is mandatory for that mission on the website, along with server details.

You can download it from the vJaBoG-32 website: JaBoG32 ATC 1.41 Do not use the 1.44 version, it is buggy

You can also create a separate channel for each tower, where pilots have to switch to in order to talk to the controller. This way you simulate switching to different radio frequencies for different control areas.

As promised, here are two screenshots showing the ATC Client in action: Since the server had Freemode (which allows anyone to choose any radar) disabled for the BVR Night and SEAD mission, I had to join either Blue or Red. On the screenshots below I joined the Blue side. Result of this is that I can only see the names of the blue team, red forces only have numbers. 1. Overview of the battlefield in the CAS mission, where I used the ATC Client to keep an eye on everyone. The vertical line is a draggable bearing line, which I used here to indicate the front line. (being the referee, I had to cheat a bit here, and selected both Blue (Krymsk + Krasnodar-Center) and Red (Maykop + Krasnodar-Pashkovskiy) airbase radars. Players obviously were not allowed to do this) 2. Close-up of Maykop Airbase, which was the Red Team's home base. Red won this mission, you can see them RTB here. Below are two photos of Zim and Exter acting as GCI controller in the BVR Night mission. 3. Zim has enabled the altitude map, rivers, radar ranges and final approach lines 4. Exter has only enabled radar ranges, and is using the bearing line to guide one of his buddies to a bandit

The tool Jim is referring to is vJaBoG32's ATC Client. We have been using it for the LLTM Lockon championship for the last three years, mostly for the BVR Night mission. Both coalitions elect a GCI controller who will guide his aircraft to their targets. Since the pilots fly at night, they rely on their GCI controller giving them correct bearings. The GCI controllers in this mission have both SAM and airbase radars at their disposal, and can see about 20 to 30 km past the front line, giving an overlap of 40 to 60 km where both controllers see everyone. This year, we went a step further, by adding a GCI role to the SEAD mission as well. In this mission, the GCI could only use his SAM radars, which were targeted by the SEAD flight of the opposite team. As radars were taken out, he would gradually become blind, making it more difficult, and in the end even impossible for him to guide his aircraft. The ATC Client can also be used for air traffic control for an airbase. If the operator zooms in to a sufficient level, he can see the airfield layout, and follow aircraft movements on the ground as well as in the air. We use this feature to manage the LLTM Airshow on Sunday morning. I will post some screenshots I made at the LLTM later.

It really was a nice weekend, the new location is great and has a lot of potential (once they get the doors in :P) The Lock On Championship was interesting until the end, with the closest finish ever - only 15 points separating the numbers one and two. Here are the complete results of the competition, copied from the LLTM website: Here are some pictures I made #1. LLTM - Lowland Tiger Meet #2. Spaceman, winner of the 2007 Tiger Spirit Award #3. Sunlight was a bit of a problem for the TrackIR units, but that was easily solved with coffee cups #4. Jim and Groove showing Flaming Cliffs 2 and Black Shark linked in a multiplayer mission #5. Wasserfall has added a HUD to his excellent Su-27 front panel #6. Jim takes a screenshot :) #7. Zim is GCI controller in the SEAD mission #8. Exter does GCI in the BVR Night mission #9. The price table #10. The LLTM 2010 Lock On Flaming Cliffs Championship winners and crew Left to right: Ghost (3rd place), Zim (1st place), Exter (2nd place), me (competition manager 2010) and Woodstock (competition manager 2011) #11. Totally unexpected, Ice handed me the biggest award of all: the LLTM 2010 Tiger Spirit Award! Thanks again Ice! #12. We really hope to...

Tomorrow is the start of the event. Here's a video to keep you occupied while we compete in the official European Championship. nVnRzxArLEw I might upload some pictures during the event, if I'm not too busy with the competition.

Here's a screenshot showing the new settings in the Su-27: I'm leaning and looking to the left, and tilted my head a bit. The settings I used for this screenshot are the ones I posted earlier in this thread, and which are also posted on our Wiki pages.

I noticed the same, and started work on a debrief viewer. The debriefing is saved in a file - debrief.log - in the Temp folder. After a bit of programming I already have all events of the mission in a neat list, but I still need to do some tuning. Here is wat it looks like at the moment: At 12:10:15 Pilot #1 and Pilot #2 had a mid-air collision, which was logged on 79 separate rows in which the target keeps alternating between Pilot #1 and #2. If this is done, I'm thinking about making a lua function which starts this application to show the debrief after a mission.

I'll look into that, haven't made any Modman addons before... I have added the code described above to our DFDT Wiki, with explanation of what it does. See my signature for the link.

I have changed the code a bit to make it more clear which is which. I used the values from TheGozr's post, and combined them with the information Lawndart gave about the x-y-z axis. The result is the code below: local aft = { Su27 = -0.02, Su33 = -0.02, Su25 = -0.02, Su39 = -0.02, MiG29 = -0.02, MiG29K = -0.02, A10 = -0.02, F15 = -0.02, Ka50 = -0.02 } local fore = { Su27 = 0.15, Su33 = 0.12, Su25 = 0.1, Su39 = 0.12, MiG29 = 0.12, MiG29K = 0.12, A10 = 0.15, F15 = 0.12, Ka50 = 0.35 } local down = { Su27 = -0.1, Su33 = -0.1, Su25 = -0.1, Su39 = -0.1, MiG29 = -0.1, MiG29K = -0.1, A10 = -0.1, F15 = -0.1, Ka50 = -0.15 } local up = { Su27 = 0.2, Su33 = 0.2, Su25 = 0.1, Su39 = 0.1, MiG29 = 0.2, MiG29K = 0.2, A10 = 0.2, F15 = 0.2, Ka50 = 0.21 } local left = { Su27 = -0.1, Su33 = -0.1, Su25 = -0.1, Su39 = -0.1, MiG29 = -0.1, MiG29K = -0.1, A10 = -0.15, F15 = -0.1, Ka50 = -0.26 } local right = { Su27 = 0.1, Su33 = 0.1, Su25 = 0.1, Su39 = 0.1, MiG29 = 0.1, MiG29K = 0.1, A10 = 0.15, F15 = 0.1, Ka50 = 0.26 } local roll = { Su27 = 90.0, Su33 = 90.0, Su25 = 90.0, Su39 = 90.0, MiG29 = 90.0, MiG29K = 90.0, A10 = 90.0, F15 = 90.0, Ka50 = 90.0 } limits_6DOF = {} limits_6DOF[PlaneIndex.iSu_27] = { x = { aft.Su27, fore.Su27 }, y = { down.Su27, up.Su27 }, z = { left.Su27, right.Su27 }, roll = roll.Su27 } limits_6DOF[PlaneIndex.iSu_33] = { x = { aft.Su33, fore.Su33 }, y = { down.Su33, up.Su33 }, z = { left.Su33, right.Su33 }, roll = roll.Su33 } limits_6DOF[PlaneIndex.iSu_25] = { x = { aft.Su25, fore.Su25 }, y = { down.Su25, up.Su25 }, z = { left.Su25, right.Su25 }, roll = roll.Su25 } limits_6DOF[PlaneIndex.iSu_39] = { x = { aft.Su39, fore.Su39 }, y = { down.Su39, up.Su39 }, z = { left.Su39, right.Su39 }, roll = roll.Su39 } limits_6DOF[PlaneIndex.iMiG_29] = { x = { aft.MiG29, fore.MiG29 }, y = { down.MiG29, up.MiG29 }, z = { left.MiG29, right.MiG29 }, roll = roll.MiG29 } limits_6DOF[PlaneIndex.iMiG_29K] = { x = { aft.MiG29K, fore.MiG29K }, y = { down.MiG29K, up.MiG29K }, z = { left.MiG29K, right.MiG29K }, roll = roll.MiG29K } limits_6DOF[PlaneIndex.iA_10] = { x = { aft.A10, fore.A10 }, y = { down.A10, up.A10 }, z = { left.A10, right.A10 }, roll = roll.A10 } limits_6DOF[PlaneIndex.iF_15] = { x = { aft.F15, fore.F15 }, y = { down.F15, up.F15 }, z = { left.F15, right.F15 }, roll = roll.F15 } limits_6DOF[PlaneIndex.iKA_50] = { x = { aft.Ka50, fore.Ka50 }, y = { down.Ka50, up.Ka50 }, z = { left.Ka50, right.Ka50 }, roll = roll.Ka50 }

3GO Su-27 1.5 mod also works in 2.0, haven't tried the Su-27P mod yet

Downloaded it via the torrent, now seeding at ~170kB/sec for at least the next 12 hours. Good luck downloading everyone ;)

For those interested, the competition manual is available for download. LLTM LOFC Competition Manual 2010 At this moment, I'm working with 20 client slots for the missions. It's up to you to make me increase this number... You can still sign up, subscription will close on Thurstay, April 1st. (no joke)

Since this event seems little known on this forum, I thought I'd bring it up here :) The Lowland Tiger Meet event is inspired on the real life NATO Tigermeet. Fighter squadrons bearing the Tiger symbol in their patch come together to fight, learn and socialize. This is what the LLTM is all about. Brotherhood, flying and learning while doing it. One of our main goals is to give virtual pilots the chance to socialize with their online opponents, and finally see the face behind the callsign. A lot of Rookies (kittens) are struggling with the steep learning curve and tough manuals. We want to encourage them to join the meet. Because there's always a Tiger around to help you out. And what better place to see the aces in action or a real life pilot giving a full blown briefing. If you just want to share the fun, make friends and fly some missions, you can join the Freeflight section. Woodstock from vJaBoG32 is preparing some challenging missions for the DCS:BS pilots who want to join. You can also take on other pilots in the official European Lock On Championship, which will consist of seven rounds, including BVR, SEAD and CAS missions, a 1v1 Dogfight ladder, an air race (Red Bull Airrace style) and an airshow on Sunday. The LLTM will start on Thursday, 8th April, and run until Sunday, 11th April. Please visit the website for more information and to subscribe to this one-of-a-kind event: http://www.lowlandtigermeet.com Subscription will close on Thursday, 1st April, one week prior to the event. You can even bring your own cockpit, in fact, we encourage everyone to bring all their flightsim gear!

Great summary! Mind if I add it to the Dutch Flanker Display Team wiki page?

Yes, there is :) Have a look here

Announcement regarding Lockon and DCS on the LLTM website: At this moment we have 15 participants for the Lockon section, but there is room for more! So sign up and join the fun, you won't regret it :)

On the Scramble forums someone came up with "Flaptor", as it looks like a combination of Su-27 Flanker and F-22 Raptor :)

Here's the 3-day weather forecast for Komsomolsk on Amur from weather-forecast.com: Komsomolsk-Na-Amure 1 – 3 Day Weather Summary: A dusting of new snow, Extremely cold (max -17°C on Thu afternoon, min -26°C on Fri morning), Wind will be generally light

No, not a 5000 series card, but an HD4890 (Asus EAH4890/HTDI/1GD5). I went out to buy an HD5770 1GB, but they are out of stock everywhere due to the production problems at TSMC.

Have a look here for steps to install Flaming Cliffs 1.12 on Windows 7. The only problem I have at the moment are the random crashes, which seem to have something to do with my new graphics card.

Maybe your graphics cards are drawing too much power from your power supply. I had the same with my X1950XT crossfire setup, not only in Lockon, but also in other games. With Crossfire enabled I had a 25 to 50% decrease in FPS. A new power supply (650W) was the solution.
