Brigg Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Your arguments are valid. The actual labels are annoying, totally unrealistic, spoil the surprise attacks.. that's why I also prefer them.. disabled. So.. +1 for NO LABELS. I to think that the labels are unrealistic. however until ED pulls it's finger out and sorts out the spotting, this is a good stop gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eekz Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 I'm thinking of limiting maximal wide FOV on the server. What the maximum wide FOV value do you think is reasonable and realistic? I'd like to know your opinion. Куплю B-17, можно B-24. B-29 не предлагать! Burning Skies =Burning Skies= @ Facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9.JG27 DavidRed Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 its your server and you can do what you want of course, but this imo, is something you shoudn't restrict....for various reasons... -what about VR users? dont you want them on your server? - realistic FOV cannot be reached with screen anyway. either it looks distorted, or it will be too narrow to be realistic. -people have different screens, and therefore, different FOVs are more or less realistic. depends on screensize, and distance. realistic FOV is close to 180° when its about the human eye...having that on a screen in front of you will just look funny...without any advantage...so i dont quite understand why you would want to restrict it in the first place... anyway,...all i know is, that once you begin to restric the FOV to something that will affect my personal FOV what i find fits to my monitor and my position towards it, thats the point where i definitely stop flying on your server... just my personal opinion about the matter.

eekz Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 Sounds reasonable. And what is max wide FOV value do you use? Just curious Куплю B-17, можно B-24. B-29 не предлагать! Burning Skies =Burning Skies= @ Facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFJack Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I guess guys with triple monitors won't be able to fly if the max_FOV value will be lowered. Am I right?

amazingme Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 When you're zooming in/out you're changing the FOV anyway.. and I agree with David here.. if you restrict it and people can't use their set-ups, they won't join the server anymore.. I would disable those labels though.. altogether.. but that's only my own preference.

ViFF Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Announcement Let me introduce new server labels utilizing new label features that has been implemented on the server. They will work only at 1-10 km. Everything you see above 10km is not labels but current DCS visibility issue that make contacts visible up to 55 km (I've measured). In regard to Burning Skies server labels instead of 100 words I've made 2 gifs to illustrate. Check them out (LEFT - Burning Skies server labels, RIGHT - default visibility): Looks very good Eekz! Could you possibly share the "Air Format =" lines of code in your labels.lua that you are using on your server? I would like to check and perhaps use the same on DCS ISRAEL server for our WW2 missions. Thanks in advance!

Grinnelli Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I am very new to DCS and the WW2 era planes really interest me. I currently own a P-51D and pre-ordered the Spitfire but it looks like I may have to get a 109 too. I am really excited to get to know some of the pilots that fly here often and become a better sim pilot myself. Keep an eye out for Stink inc online I will not be an easy kill forever, I hope.

Keep an eye out for Stink inc online I will not be an easy kill forever, I hope. 109 is hard to learn. If you are new to WW2 planes P-51 is in my opinion the best one to begin with. It's pretty comfortable to fly and learn basic tactics. I'd also like to say, that it's not 109 itself providing such good win %, but experienced pilots in 109s. Rookie pilot in 109 is easy target for P-51. Anyway, I wish you best of luck in multiplayer and we'll be glad to see you at our server :) Edited December 15, 2016 by eekz Куплю B-17, можно B-24.
