DieHard Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) WW II Scenario Dog-Fights; Finding Bogie at Distance ? Do not know where to ask this question. How do guys flying the WWII aircraft find enemy aircraft at distance? Are any mods being used in Multiplayer that are allowed and get past the Integrity Check? Dog-fighting ======== That is my biggest negative issue, seeing the enemy bogie before he sees me. Advice, tips, etc. appreciated. Edited January 30, 2017 by DieHard [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
amazingme Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 I bought a 27" monitor :) Kidding aside, you have to live with this.. but, you can make it a little better by using 2x Anisotropic filtering, 2x AA, no forests, as I find them very annoying, and Zoom View.. It will also help with the SA, which is life saviour. I'm curious about the DCS 2.5 release and how the spotting would be 'treated' there.

FA_Crazy-Canuck Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 Make sure you have engaged labels in order to see the black dots at distance, I believe right shift + F10. It does take practice to spot enemies at distance. A steady consistent scan helps. 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

9.JG27 DavidRed Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 (edited) stats are unfortunately totally bugged for me... while i should have 2flights,2landings, 10 kills, it now says 2takeoffs, 1 landing, and only 6kills... and you can verify that something is wrong with my stats, as i have 2takeoffs, but no disconnects, no crashlandings, no death, no bail outs....

FLANKERATOR Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 stats are unfortunately totally bugged for me... while i should have 2flights,2landings, 10 kills, it now says 2takeoffs, 1 landing, and only 6kills... and you can verify that something is wrong with my stats, as i have 2takeoffs, but no disconnects, no crashlandings, no death, no bail outs.... I'm looking at the A2A stats regularly and indeed, I do remember seeing you at the second place with 10 kills and 35mn of flight time but now it shows 6 kills and still 35mn of flight time. It may only be a small hiccup that eekz will be able to fix straight away. This stats project is a huge undertaking and eekz is continually improving and polishing it.

9.JG27 DavidRed Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 (edited) now my third flight didn't get recognized at all it seems? and yes FLANKERTOR....i know that this is a huge undertaking, and thats why i thought it cant hurt to point out problems/bugs. EDIT: and my 4th flight didn't get registered at all by the stats either. Edited February 5, 2017 by 9./JG27 DavidRed

eekz Posted February 6, 2017 Author Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) We had a technical issue that resulted in stats loss for 05.02 - 06.02.2017. Also some pilots has been granted about 12 hours of flight time. Flight time has been fixed. Stats loss can't be recoved for yestersay. Sorry for iconvinience. We've made some fixes and proximity of stat loss has been dramatically reduced in the future. Edited February 6, 2017 by eekz VIRPIL Controls Servers
