Does warping happen because low end pc's or internet connection?

[Kuky]

Unless you have very shitty connection (it doesn't have to be fast connection ubt stable ping) you're ok... but if your PC can't handle the amount of data it can cause this... that's my conclusion anyway based on what I've seen.

[asparagin]

Hmm yeah could be.. Anyway I'm fine, I noticed this because I get killed often in FC2 online :P

Another explanation could be that the others have shitty pc's and warp their missiles into me :D

[Cali]

Yes, this is a stupid issue, I see it on some players more and on some guys less. For example I had a engagement with the restricted loadout scenario, I shot first from 14 miles full STT lock, missile goes away, timer shows 13 second remaining, timer is on zero (ofcourse enemy shot 3 seconds after my launch too), I tried to turn away and got hit. But I saw the enemy on radar snaking, and looseing energy he got slower and slower by it, I was on a max crank, anyway, after watching the track, I saw to my surprise that my missile lost the track for some reason(but ingame my radar tells me all good missile is gona hit), after he did his first sharp left and right snake turn max-G. And you can see some sort of micro lag, even better on the tacview.

 

Like I said some people have it and some not for some reason, it has much greater impact on the game if you fly with semi actives only, there you see it right away.

 

Guess little things like this we'll have to just call random missile failures....

exactly lol, thats why u need too take second shot, seconds later, otherwise u gonna die maybe.

Some times you can tell if your missile is tracking as soon as it comes off the rail. That determines the second shot for me.

For me, now as a rule, it is a salvo for semi actives. Too many times in game my missile flies by, but when I play track it hits him. Its funny watching a jet fly around in the track full burner with no wings or nose. :doh:

In my case, she left the rail, startet to turn and track in the first stage, then I turned my eyes on radar, but, well, nothing lol.

Yes, you are right, but it depends what kind of plan you wanna use, otherwise you endup without missile's.

In cases like that...what can you do, but follow up with another one 5-10 seconds later. Hopefully the bandit is still getting the warning from the first missile.

Also ask Santa for a TrackIR/Freetrack. I suspect that your poor use of the hat switch to look around is blocking your brain subconsciously from even considering F-pole.

 

Where did you say you're from again?

 

LoL.. Another smart ass... If i wanted trackIR i allready would have it... I can do perfectly without.. Even in Dogfights against people that are wearing track IR. Even in Falcon. Your brain is probably blocked, otherwise you woudn't comment that rude, telling me what to have or not. Like i didn't know there is Track IR..

 

Where did you say youa re from? GO annoy other peopel please.

Actually I wasn't even trying to be a smartass. I'm just saying from personal experience that before I used head tracking I would have been hesitant in pulling certain manoeuvres that would reduce my SA even further. Indeed I would say that my post in this thread is the only substantial advice you have received to date.

 

Have you looked at the link I gave at least?

[winchesterdelta1]

If that as not ment to be a smartass you better check next time how you construct your sentences, telling me that my brain must be blocked!!! Whats that for comment.... Maybe where you'r from thats called nice.. Not where i am from.

 

That link has been send to me by friends allready and i allready did alot of research on Track IR/Free Track for Falcon, ARMA2 and Lock On. Check my other vids than you see i have got this advice allready dozens of times... Even some clan mates tell me to get it. I'm happy with the hatswitch for now... I'm keeping everything nice and simple. But yeah your right about the most substantial advice i received yet.

That vid gave me a good, nostalgic feeling, bringing me back to my novice days of lockon! Music worked well, and the flankers are pretty much the coolest planes on earth. Good stuff.

 

I think I can explain riptide for you. He is not trying to be cruel or impolite. By saying your untrained use of the HAT-switch is subconsciously blocking your brain from doing an F-pole he doesn't mean that you must be dumb to fly like that, or that your brain is somehow below par. He simply means that the ineffective hat-switch combined with your somewhat untrained use of it is preventing you from gathering the information you need to do what is tactically sound. He just didn't wrap it up too nicely ;) But he is right; my mind was not nearly as flexible and focused and aware of my situation in the sim/game as it is now after I got my TiR. It simply lessens your workload and quickens you gathering of situational awareness.

 

I can give you a few tips right now on how to get more out of that hat switch, until you decide to get yourself a trackIR...

 

1: Assign a shift-state button with all directions on the hat, to let you snap-look up, left, right, far left, far right, down at your gauges, and close-up at your SPO-15.

 

If you have a HOTAS this can probably easily be set up in the profiler.

If not, assign LShift+HATleftdown to for instance snap view to far left, etc, etc..

 

2: When focusing at the hud, zoom your view farther in to barely include the MFD and HUD. This will in my experience maximize Situatioal Awareness gain rate.

 

3: Assign a handily placed button to reset view. Default is numpad 5.

 

Best of luck, and have fun!

[winchesterdelta1]

Thanks for the tips.... I will try that.

Ya. That's it!

[104th_Crunch]

If you never tried Trackir for yourself, and have only viewed videos, you will never know what your missing. I wouldn't sim without it.

[Total]

For years I operated without TrackIR. Then I built a freetrack unit just to see what it would do.

 

I was immediately hooked on head tracking

 

I went thru several variations of my freetrack setup until I buckled down and got TrackIR with the proclip.

 

Headtracking gives you the ability to gain one thing that is paramount in all military lessons - more situation awareness.

 

As far as tatics, to each their own. The "fly in and see who gets the first shot" style of play is the reason I do not play in online pubs. I prefer coordinated flight using actual tactics. Granted, I suck in either venue, but the challenge of realistic play far out reaches that of death match play.

 

I also do not use the "zoom in" feature. I used a fixed FOV and that's it. There's no way the human eyeball magically make the world zoom into a fine point. Yet many do. Another reason I avoid the pubs. I just don't agree with magic vision.

 

There's alot to learn in FC2 and the DCS series. The greatest challenge is learning how to use proper tactics and strategy. That's where the real joy in these sims lie :)

[Kuky]

Yup RIPTIDE wasn't rude at all, in fact I was about to sugest the same thing (to get TrackIR) as judging from videos I don't think you are even checking your RWR when you're being spiked or locked... TrackIR IS a very usefull thing to have and if you think using HAT is good enough, you should try it first for a week and you will change your mind.

[Cali]

Although some people have tried TIR and didn't like it cause it made them sick. Most people that use it will not fly without one, I'm one of those people. Been a TIR user for several years and it makes a huge difference in my flying. But if you do good with the POV then stick with it. Have you been in a guns fight yet?

Edited December 22, 2010 by Cali

[winchesterdelta1]

Yeah.. i started with gun Fights. First thing i did in Both Falcon and LOMAC. In Falcon there where some really good Pilots if fought with.... I think i only won 4 of those games against them. And that where alot of hours flying.

In LOMAC everything seems more easy... Had alot of dogfights in it, and i can fairly stand my own in a 1 on 1 or 1 VS 2. And thats with using the POV stick.

 

I never had any problems with POV stick and for my own feelings TIR won't make a big difference for me. I'm just used to fly with it since TAW.

[Cali]

If you tried a TIR out, you would see a big difference. I was use to the POV, but once I got the TIR, I wondered how I ever flew without it.

[Boberro]

This is all true... Freetrack, TIR, Cachnya and another tracking solutions change game - hugely.

I highly doubt anyone will back to HAT, keyboard view after using tracking device.

Well on the beginning you can feel a bit disoriented, but it is only temporary.
