I got to work tonight but you'll have to fly this with me on the weekend. :)

 

Cool. We can't have those Quantas jets falling down if you are off 'playing hooky' with the A-10C :)

I'll be there.

Another awesome mish from Moa.

 

 

Here are a few pics that I posted in kiwisim (I have to wait for every post to be approved so they may take a while).

The reciprocal view

 

Nice pics Kaiza, thanks for posting them.

 

Was a great mission - the premise was hunting pirates down on the Black Sea and then hitting their shore bases. Some great low-level flying to identify which ships were pirates and which were not (randomized with the trigger system).

 

Sundown, forming up on Kaiza:

To me the sundown is starting to look like an oil painting (great work ED):

Unfortunately the screenshots don't do justice to the awesomeness of the Night Vision Googles (NVG) and the way light sources flicker in them:

Kaiza checks my ship for damage. Formation flying with NVG is cool:

Unfortunately the screenshots also don't show the 'minty goodness' when you turn the instrument console lights up in night mode. This is not your grandad's simulator, for sure:

Unfortunately I didn't get the screenshot I wanted of 'ilikepies' buddy lasing and Kaiza pickling his LGB. From my point-of-view all I could see is this IR pointer coming down through the clouds onto a target. We called it, "The Finger of God" - and whoever that finger was pointing at was gonna get smitten shortly thereafter.

 

From an earlier mission. There is some bug where your aircraft tips up and nothing you can do will get it down. Check out the 'wheelie', kept this up for some distance and wouldn't go down:

Great stuff redfish. There's more than a few RED units in a Soviet armored regiment, so no-one will be idle :)

 

Kick-off is 19:00 NZDT, so probably 17:00 local if you're on the east coast of Oz (eg. Sydney).

We came on last night about 11pm, I think the server might have been down by then so we hosted one up.

 

If we see you guys in future and want to join, how many clients can a home connection handle?

 

There may be 3-4 of us, so we don't want to flood your server :) I know other games like Rise of Flight I can only host maybe 8-10 clients before the upload has problems.

While it is only 2 MB/s up it is cable and seems to be able to handle a dozen folks before there are problems (provided everyone has reasonably stable connections, under 400 ms ping). Max is around 16.
