GGTharos Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 At least in some cases, yes. ;) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
Anytime Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 Couple of questions on ECM Blinking: If you launch a 120 then lose TWS or STT then later reaquire the target will the updated track info be sent to the missile? (in lockon not RL), same question applies to semi-active missiles. Anybody know how HOJ is affected by blinking if you manage to get a shot off? Does it continue to track? 1
GGTharos Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 I don't think it works for 120's. It works for ER's though, IIRC. If you 'blink' outside of the missile's lock range, the datalink guidance will drop and the missile will go autonomous. Unfortounately there's no inertial guidance in LO either so it'll just continue straight from that point on, rather than looking for the latest computed intercept point. I think if you do it within the missile's lock-on range, you'll just see it going back and forth between pure and PN.

D-Scythe Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 And here I was thinking we were all on the same team.
enigma6584 Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 And here I was thinking we were all on the same team. Yeah, same here. This is the very reason I don't fly LOCKON anymore or if I do (and that is very, very rare) I fly with just a few guys I like. Forget hyperlobby, its just a festival of insults. This forum seems to be turning into that as well....I mean when you get old timers (like the ones posting just above) hurtling insults left and right, its time to move on to other games and sims.:( Never thought I'd see the day the LOCKON community turned into the Falcon community.:cry: 2
Pilotasso Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 Yeah, same here. This is the very reason I don't fly LOCKON anymore or if I do (and that is very, very rare) I fly with just a few guys I like.

I play for fun above all. If the enviroment ever gets too poisonous Mr. Pilotasso will have a freak train accident and die, leaving his anonymous son to take on his father business :D (gotta love this picture of vader giving the finger to its audience... nice! :lol: ) .
192nd_Erdem Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 Well I'm not playing online when LO online flights has been turned from "Online simming" to "Online E-penor race". And I seriously don't consider playing online seriously in "unsterile" servers untill the patch or BS :)
Aeroscout Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 I've never seen such arguments online. amd I still think this is a friendly community. (Of course, i dont know what the falcon community is like.) DCS Wishlist: 1) FIX THE DAMN RIVERS!!! 2) Spherical or cylindrical panorama view projection. 3) Enhanced input options (action upon button release, etc). 4) Aircraft flight parameter dump upon exit (stick posn, attitude, rates, accel, control volume, control-surface positions, SAS bias, etc). 5) ADS-33 maneuver courses as static objects. 6) Exposed API or exports of trim position and stick force for custom controllers. 7) Select auto multiple audio devices
hitman Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 Just picture old women bickering over a piece of bread in church.
Aeroscout Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 i see... lol I could Imagian the Falcon community being quite argumentative for some reason...

Program2 Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 Well I'm not playing online when LO online flights has been turned from "Online simming" to "Online E-penor race". :) Hah that's pretty funny. :thumbup: Pilotasso's idea is good. Before I fly online I will turn off the in-game chat option. Then again I think there's no point on flying online (in public servers) till this exploit is fixed. Seems like it's all about ECM blinking exploits galore these days. Aeroscouts sig still makes me laugh :)
Ice Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 Yeah, same here. This is the very reason I don't fly LOCKON anymore or if I do (and that is very, very rare) I fly with just a few guys I like.

Actually no. 99.9% There will allways be 2 or 3 that are happy to ruin it for everyone else. Just like Real Life :thumbdown:

Aeroscouts sig still makes me laugh :) well, it's better than the AI and the dumb missions i make up. The server always has good missions. the only problem is that yor favorite planes always get taker. (I hate the F-15! i'm so used to the su-27 and the like.) and good point Ice. thats the reason i'm soo active on the forums. (Unless you think I mess it up for everyone else. but i do try to keep an open mind. I hope that is seen by others...)

Program2 Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 I fly online but not in public servers. Some friends and I just do co-op missions they are really fun and it's more organized than your typical free for all or air quake as some of you calls it.
G3 Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 instead of a title 'Just my $0.02 on ECM Blinking' it should have been called "there goes an hour i'll never get back" :) that said it was an interesting read, obviously a topic people feel strongly about. some valid points in there, and not to raise hopes but: the mention of a possible 1.13 patch for FC great to hear from the devs and to know they are listening, and hopefully ignoring some of it :) sorry if this was old but the recent thread on the matter made me do a search of my own, and i think i am better for it, and slightly wiser.
Pilotasso Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 THis is an old thread. It will be obsolete when BS comes out too. .
EscCtrl Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 THis is an old thread. It will be obsolete when BS comes out too. So what you're saying is we have many months still to discuss? :P 1
