Small world. As far as the ping Bucic covered that one pretty well.

Welcome to the addiction Goat! Join the DCS x-fire group, if you see me on there hit me up and I will fly with ya. I agree this community and the larger flight sim community is wonderfull. Lets all sing kum ba ya as we kill kill kill. Ironic, but true!

I sure hope so Crunch, that would be nice.

I am ready for this I think it will be great. I wonder if we will get the sound improvements.

I found this mission quite hard as well. Rockets: they are hard to aim and you should think of them more like artillery than like a sniper shot. (Tip: there is a dial on the back wall that needs to be set for the correct balistics for different rockets, so check that.) Even with the dial on the correct one, it is hard. Load up the firing range training mission and have some practice without worring about getting shot at. I find that the pipper needs to be a little under where I want to hit, thow far under depends on how fast you are flying and slope. Try to fly smooth as a you can as well. Wingman: I use the recce command a lot, because he won't attack stuff that he doesn't see. Send him out to recce then you can task him from there.

they bend over backwards for us! Sorry, sorry could not resist!

Wow good discussion, yeah, on the enlisted thing, I served 3 years in the US Army as an enlisted guy so I surely didn't mean any disrespect, that is just what the man said.

Great Idea. I am curious, what were the precieved advantages to making the forum private and "classified"?

Someone "in the know" says the radar is the weakest link in this system, the missile can out fly the radar. (But this guy writes code for the missile, so he is biased, LOL) It can track 100 targets, which is kinda cool, but this is an old technology. He also said a big limitation is making the complex system easy enough for enlisted personel to operate. Thought you guys would find those two things interesting.

Thanks Frazer, for everything you do, including this tweak guide which helped me a lot.

Distiler, I hear what you are saying and I agree, folks should keep F10 available without units, as I see it as a curtesy and not unrealistic in the least!

Once BS patch comes out, will we need to get a new version of Modman for BS?

Sorry no one has replied, I don't have FC2 so I can't comment, but I am interested in the answer.

I love the shot with you and the mavrick! great job

Great write-up and pictures! I love the angles you got! Thanks for writing this up. I was at the edge of my seat. I am working on not overflying the target when doing a gun or rocket run, it is tough not to do, so it was nice to see I am not the only one! :P

This is a good sign! I am so exicted! woot!

Thanks for the quick reply Chizh. I assumed as much but it is awesome to get such a fast reponse from someone on the ED team. Man, I love ED!

I wonder how this will impact us shark pilots? On multiplayer is this set by the host? I would not think that the shark would be as worried about bird strikes, by design. Can anyone comment on this?

I am at work and the whole office looked at me like I was insane when I suddenly burst out laughing.

I will join this when I get home. Since Hyperlobby will not be needed after everyone is using FC2, X-fire could become the new standard for all DCS and LO moving forward.

Any news on when the DCS patch will be out?

Wow, I applaud all of you! Fight sims are already geeky, and study sims are more geeky than arcade sims sure. So any post in these forum has a high geek factor to start off. However, this thread has reached a new level of geekness. Keep it coming! More Physics and Tech Talk!

Thanks Panzertard, that was the info I was looking for!

How will this work with Black Shark? From what i understand, most lock-on folks use hyper lobby, and in DCS we use the multiplayer client in the game. So, after the patch will FC sessions appear in the list on the client? Or will bs pilots need to go to HL? And could someone point me towards the bs patch? Thanks!

Can't want to sit in the shark and call in the fast movers!
