Flaming Cliffs 3

[Case]

And to continue; patching FC2 and DCS:BS to the DCS:Hog world will mean more multiplayer servers, more missions, more server admins to keep the nutcases out, excellent stats pages, no whine threads about passworded servers and a whole load of more benefits for everyone.

[Steel Jaw]

And concerning your HARDCORE statement, I echo Cali's, Etherealn's and Rhen's posts. I do not know if you did, but if you haven't participated in a Red Flag, BSS, OPFOR or Crimean Incident event then you have no clue how hardcore FC2 can become.

 

I have not, though I did spend a year on the FC2 servers while awaiting A10C andso still have an idea of which I speak.

I have another question, in regards to stats which I'm sure someone can answer really quickly... If FC is patched to work with A-10C and BS, will that then allow us that fly the A-10C to do stat recording for servers, and post that info on our website? As the Squadron Commander for an A-10C virtual squadron, it would be great to see just how my pilots are doing.

Yes, this should be possible. For FC2/DCS the 51st has a stats page at http://www.51st.org/stats/ and the 104th at http://stallturn.com/104th.

 

Most likely some work will be required to port FC2 stats to FC3 as the DCS:Hog logs are different from FC2 and DCS:BS. I developed the 51st stats and will certainly do my best to port our stats to FC3 quickly.

 

Besides that, it should already be possible to create a stats page for DCS:Hog alone, even without FC3 as all the information should be available.

Case, can you point me in the right direction on how to setup a stats page/recorder for server stats on the Hog... if able? (PM might be better).

DCS-BS does well with FC2, servers are still filled with copter pilots flying around, even if fast movers are there. A lot of people don't have the time to put in like real pilots......it's there job and their life depends on the training they get. I know my flying has dropped off a lot since moving. I would forget a lot of things unless I did it every day. One thing that has helped me was the G15 and MFD's. I was able to move a lot of stuff from my HOTAS to them. So instead of trying to remember 3 modes (NAV,A2A and A2G) plus the shift (sub-modes) for them, I now have cut button memory by more then 65%.

 

I understand what your trying to say Mower about pilot workload. That is whats nice about the clickable pit, you don't have to have everything mapped to your HOTAS.

 

I don't know how hard it would be to port over these jets, but the faster the better and I know I'll buy it ASAP!

Sure. PM sent.

Mower, the people you are referring to, are not even frequenting this forums I'm sure. The best way to keep away is always flying with "loved ones".

Some of you guys definitely need to break in at an airbase to snatch an F/A-18 and take off. You are only looking for the real thing. Well here is a boomer for you, THIS IS A GAME!

 

If ED fixes some of the current bugs in FC2 and make it Multiplayer compatible with DCS series I will as promised buy 2 licenses of the release! I also think the graphics on FC2 is GREAT! If you don’t believe me just try out some of the other new SIMs around (COD) and their cartoonish flying machines.

I'll buy FC3. As soon as it is released.

Nope: these are SIMS:pilotfly:

No worries, I been around a long long time...you cant hurt my feelings nor offend me.

There is very simple solution for those who scare of merging LO with A-10. Just don't enter the server.

 

Case closed.

:D

I'm sure we can trick Mower to join and get his blood pumping over some detail, a missile or some MOD :P

a LockOn users who rely on the inherent 'simpleness' of the LockOn Flight Model/Weapons model etc etc to obtain an advantage, be it in time, effort or otherwise

 

 

This I can understand. The need to juggle complex avionics, more challenging FM corners, etc, and potential for "finger fire" is entirely gone in the simplified FC environment. That said, I'm happy to see ED filling in the genre gaps and supporting those of us who still do use the Flaming Cliffs platform, and don't want to or cannot simply stop using it.

That would be a rip off though as FC2 is supposed to make LO MP compatible with DCS anyway. The odd thing here is why is it so difficult to make FC compatible with DCS A-10C in MP?

Not quite, FC2 was to be compatible with Black shark V1.02, nothing else. FC2 is not compatible with Warthog for the same reason Black shark isn't, it is not the same simulation engine.
