With the new radio standalone, will you release an SOP for each side as to the frequencies alotted for airfields and gci? It will help with a lot of the confusing radio chatter that is teamspeak now that it is stable

I don't think that many people actually fly the A-10C or 25T

 

Don't be so dramatic, everyone is a fighter jockey anyway

 

A lot of Blue fly the A10. Blue always has to much CAS and not enough cap. Removing the A10 would be a horrible idea!

No, I agree. It's a staple aircraft of DCS and its what most of us started on.

 

However NaCH has a point for wanting the Charlie and the 25T out, if we are going for an 80's aesthetic in the campaign.

I'm sure the A-10A will be just as good given the gimped loadouts as many other aircraft will receive due to weapon restrictions.

Sweeper - what??? You do not wanna leave Blueside! :D

(Regards - Painter ;) )

 

Wanted to do some Flanker stuff in the testing round! :)

 

I'll definitely go Blue in the actual Round!

[Shively]

I'd support a push to remove aircraft that weren't present in the 80's from a concept for Blue Flag that seeks to create a Cold War gone-hot scenario.

 

Even if only because air-to-ground strikes in the older Grach are FUN and I believe everyone should get to experience them.

Seconded.

[QuiGon]

Would it be possible to disable the own aircraft to be shown on the F-10 map, so we can put our nav systems to good use?

Eliminating air defences will become a bit more than just "sit outside its envelope and fire ARM or GBUs at it"

 

Maybe have some wild weasel type stuff going on.

+1 000 000. Own aircraft should not be visible on the F10 map or only shown when on the ground in friendly base.

Only, oh, the one aircraft in the game that requires it's exact latitude and longitudinal Co ordination on startup to properly align it's Navigational system. Unless you tell us the parking spot that the aircraft is sitting in that way we can look in the knee board and corelate that in the F10 map.

I know what you mean, because it's my favorite aircraft atm. It's not a big issue though. Just spool up the aircraft, taxi to a position that is recognizable on the map and then set up your INS ;)

How can one see what files are conflicting with the integrity check? I have disabled all JGSME mods but I am still unable to connect.

 

BTw- probably been asked, but will you consider to allow terrain rextures?

[Tello]

Well if nothing is stated in a .doc or the SOP you must assume only vanilla version is allowed.

About your other question - I my self use Starways pack and only after deleting the Effects folder in my JSGME MOD folder I could join servers with IC np. As a sidenote I have not really noticed any difference after deleting the folder which only contains shadows.lua file.

 

Looking forward to see you all there - Happy testing :book:

...in this case you have to tell me how to navigate my UH1 without showing up on the F-10 map. For now this sounds for me like simply not possible.

Well, how do you think Huey pilots (or all other pilots flying aircraft without fancy INS/GPS) navigated in real life? ;)

 

It's called IFRR: I Follow Roads and Rivers. Or in other words: map and compass. It works very well. I do that all the time (if the F-10 map doesn't spoil me, because of server settings). And on top of that you also have radio navigation. So, no need for own aircraft symbol on the map. It's also not there in real life and this is supposed to be a simulator. Not having the need to actually use the given nav systems, because an artifical symbol gives away your location on the map takes a lot away from the sim and beeing a pilot :(

True didn't think of that one...

Not using F10 map is what makes Huey and Mi-8 flights interresting :)

Obviously, it may require some training, and everyone has trouble with it the first time :)

But honestly, you should try. It makes long flight not boring at all !

 

While increasing realism, removal of the a10c and Su 25t would probably lower the player population to levels that were crippling to the exercise itself.

 

Sent while I should be working instead.

 

Just remove PGMs and TGP from airfields, and it become nearly a regular A10A. ;)

Use your compass, clock, and landmarks. If heading to a location broadcasting a radio beacon, then home in on that beacon.

 

I too would like to have the F10 map not show the player.

It's just to address a point that knowing general location where you are is quite obvious in reality and not always so obvious in sim where the player is magically teleporting (spawning) instantly in different locations.

Sure, there are some easy ways to find it out like using the location in names of the slot, SOP document for FARPS or trying to deduct parking location from airport ground charts but it's better to avoid complicating things when doing so doesn't bring any value added.

Show the starting point position so it's obvious where you're until the aircraft is on the ground at airport/FARP and then disable it for realistic navigation.

Although it's for sure not critical, if difficult to realize just disable the own position on F10 map.

+1

you guys never flew IL2 where you had to know which way you were flying and land marks.

[Nero.ger]

removing the F10 informations might be ok if you are a pro-flyer and know BlueFlag insight out but this will seriously discorage new players or make it next to impossible for them. even now its hard to get them to a FARP or so

Love this idea! This would rock!

 

You can use you kneeboard and make marks to get your current position.

And honestly, I don't see the problem with that. This is supposed to be organized pvp, or at least in my mind it is, and if you can't navigate in your aircraft of choice your preferred server should be virtual aerobatics.

Exactly, Blue Flag has never really been a place for beginners.

You look at the map, associate the terrain around you and put two and two together. It's not that difficult. Having said that, I'd rather just keep the F10 option. I really don't want what I'm doing for fun to start feeling like work. To be honest, people that are talking about realism, you won't be getting any more realism by taking your icon off the map. I highly doubt that people are going to go into their FMS and set up a route for each and every flight. IRL yeah, you are going out once a day or less. In here, people are up and down way too often to be sitting on the ground setting up flight management systems several times a day. You'll spend more time planning than flying, IF you are going for realism in that sense.
