"Buddy Spike" - DCS World Online Events

[*Rage*]

if tacview can be blocked from exporting why couldnt this?

 

Tacview relies on the server export. Most servers turn it off to prevent people having a realtime tacview running on a second screen (or a number of other tacview exploits)

 

LEAVU uses your own export. The server can do nothing about disabling it.

I'm badly laughing from it.

 

Fair ? How is it fair for the home cockpit owner ?

 

Life is unfair. Let's start forbidding joystick, because joystick owner have an advantage over keyboard user.

 

This is just bullshit at a very nice level.

 

 

 

In the meantime, you guys don't even complain about "enlargement," which any people can cheat in 10 seconds with notepad.

 

Please ban TrackIR and pedals as well, if you want a truly fair game! :megalol:

I'm still trying to get the faction restrictions of MiG-21 and Mirage 2k undone (or at least explained), respectively.

 

Seeing as I registered for BF over a month ago and can't read much of the Buddy Spike forums because no one ever got around to changing the status of my account there, would someone mind explaining to me the rationale between giving Blue the Mirage and Red the MiG-21, when previously both planes had been available to both coalitions? I'm more than a little in the dark here, seeing as the change hasn't been explained (or mentioned, really) anywhere in these threads.

 

This would possibly approach realms of "fairness" and balance (okay, it wouldn't, the capabilites of MiG-21bis and Mirage 2k in a dogfight aren't at all quite evenly matched for each other) if the MiG-21bis' radar was functioning as intended. It isn't, however, and despite the Leatherneck bugtracker having claimed this issue to be fixed in the past, has been broken for a month now and doesn't seem to be getting resolved any time soon.

 

Couldn't we just keep both factions being able to use both so that people who want to fly a certain non-FC3 module aren't restricted to playing on a team that likely won't even contain any of their friends/squadron mates? Do we really need to be in the business of fixing things about Blue Flag that weren't broken to begin with?

 

Unless, you know, you plan to take REDFOR aircraft from Blue team, which would be devastating to the balance situation (and everyone would rightfully be confused about this change). I'm assuming the reason Mirage 2k went Blue only and MiG-21 is Red only doesn't have anything to do with coalition/real-life availability for this reason.

As c0ff suggested, issue should be resolved by allowing server side control on local export.lua ownership.

 

Until ED releases this tool, there is not much the BuddySpike team can do to enforce it, but monitoring on who uses it is probably an option.

This is the only MOD (that is known) to be using this "hack-able" feature of DCS and therefore there should not be many people using it yet.

 

A kind reminder, we do have the option to ban players indefinitely, if anyone is cought using MODs which are so called "cheating" we will ban and that player will not be able to enter any future BuddySpike event.

 

Let's have fun flying Blue Flag and killing each other :)

Just cleaned this thread a little... play nice or the next deletions come with warning points.

[*Rage*]

Just to be clear, until this fix is issued by ED, you are saying pilots should not be using LEAVU (or others hacks like it) while flying buddyspike events?

[OperatorJack]

Is it just me or does this round seem incredibly skewed so that Blue wins?

Is this to stop them crying when they lose again?

[*Rage*]

Blue will not win! We have ETs! We also have a Teknitinium!

That's why I said when :thumbup:

Given the recent changes to air-to-air weapon availability and the as-of-yet unexplained changes to MiG-21/Mirage availability, yes, it very much does seem like that.

 

You can keep the AIM-120, just let me fly Mirage on Red (or MiG-21 on Blue for anyone that's a bad enough dude to gimp themselves so terribly by choosing an outdated plane with a semi-dysfunctional radar), or else there's going to be more R-27ET coming your way, Blue.

 

I desperately don't want to have to fly FC3 aircraft or relegate myself to air-to-ground only for the next week or two. Please don't make me do it. If you want to make this change, at least wait for the MiG-21bis' updated radar system to be implemented, hopefully by the time Blue Flag 7 runs. Right now it's just too broken for the Mirage 2000 v. Mig-21bis matchup to ever approach being "fair," not that the two planes were a fair match for each other to begin with. Maybe if we had the Mirage III or 5 instead.

 

If Blufor wins Blue Flag 6, it won't be because of superior strategy or pilots, from the look of things.

So don't! Balance & fair is not even a word in the fighterpilot dictionary. Neither is the fact that someone is forcing you to join the server and pick RED. I personally welcome any challenge in any form it might present it selves, No matter how many 120 or ET I have to defend against I always come out a little more experienced than before. Use your energy to focus on the good things. You have ET and excellent team spirit to back you up. Being a part of the team and play your role/tactic is the most fun feature of BlueFlag imho.

 

The biggest problem for me has nothing to do with what is in your toolbox. it is more about having a lag free flight and no server or client crashes.

If you think BLUEFOR or REDFOR is winning because of missile X vs Y or what ever. You have many good things to learn and you should be exited about that. I'm a bad enough dude to gimp myselves so terribly so even if I could only have R-60 on my Flanker I would still be there, in my flanker.. being terribly for my team ! THIS IS SPARTA!!!!!! :weight_lift_2:

Really? A post about why I think LEAVU is bad for the multiplayer community is too much? ...and I didn't even include politics in it.

That's all well and good (and massively self-gratifying for you, it appears), I just want to be able to fly the Mirage (already massively gimped against Blufor's F-15, what with its mediocre range on the Super 530D and its own slew of radar-related issues, until it gets WVR) alongside my friends on Red team, though. We're a MiG-21-based unit, so this change would normally be absolutely SWELL for us, it's just that the MiG-21's radar has been broken for over a month now and has kind of collectively sapped our will to fly the module. Even with GCI support, it's entirely possible to be in the right position, staring down your radar scope, and be absolutely blind until you dive a bit more, below a target you were already well enough below for the radar to be able to detect. Time you spend searching for a target during an engagement is time you in which you can count yourself effectively dead, and the MiG-21 was already dying a lot to begin with. MiG ops aren't particularly enjoyable for us right now. We aren't holding our breath and waiting for it to be patched by the time Blue Flag starts, because we like being alive.

 

Now we're going to be having to choose between the MiG-21, MiG-29, and Su-27. You know, maybe I want to fly something that isn't either dysfunctional in combat or FC3-fidelity "simulation?"

 

Let's not forget that even with the MiG-21bis being exclusive to Redfor, it still only ever gets like, two, spawns per airfield, meaning my unit, were we to use the MiG-21 is going to be perpetually wasting time in order to coordinate with each other, always having to fly varying distances to reach objectives, possibly needing to refuel and rearm along the way, if we ever want to field more than two Fishbeds at a time.

 

In short, I really would rather fly the Mirage if everything about the MiG-21 is going to be suffering for my friends and I during this event. Got it?

The new/improved version of the real time map (http://gadget-buddyspike.rhcloud.com/) looking good. Thx Crash.

:helpsmilie:Help plz! I am enlisted n BlueFor but I am Mig-21 driver and there are no Migs in that side! I am requesting sides switch plz! I am online right now any admin plz :helpsmilie:

 

Thnx

[xcom]

switching sides happens on server restarts, so you will need to wait for the next restart.

You went blue with a mig-21. What's gonna happen is you go to gulag :P

[Falcon_S]

BS guys, can you turn off the horror effect called "Model enlargment". Huge flying stains scare me. Yesterday I destroyed four but they constantly coming.

LoL i just googled that :P. Nonono sir no gulag for me!! Look at my sig it's legit red flag aggressors side :P

[Tello]

Well unless you just change side to Blufor/Mirage. I'm not sure I understand any of that, you have your own squad so I guess for you and the buddies it is more important to have some tactics tied to a certain module and go after that, rather than playing for a specific team. But thank you for asking if I understood a question I did not even ask :D I was simply trying to imply that: "I desperately don't want to have to fly FC3 aircraft or relegate myself to air-to-ground only for the next week or two. Please don't make me do it." Is not something you have to do and instead of blueflag adapting to you and your friends you can simply adapt to blueflag round 6, or wait for the next one ;)

 

See you there

I've already explained to you how to fix the radar, it is pretty simple.

We should have forced small model enlargement. Spotting is impossible and anything higher is unrealistic

Will the SA342 Gazelle will be in the Round 6 as a scout & Hunter Killer role?
