Heli Shed Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 Nope, the notch is 144kph wide beyond 10km, ~70kph wide inside 10km. Now if you happen to be suffering from micro-warping on the fighter's computer, then you'll be intermittently picked up since you're likely to momentarily exceed the notch ... Interesting. as ever, thanks. 'T' Come pay us a visit on YouTube - search for HELI SHED
HiJack Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 ... I only picked them up visually cause I knew where they were. Yes, specially the one's with navigation lights on :D

RIPTIDE Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 ... and that's why you should have bird strikes on. I know... but then the whining starts about takeoff/landing strikes... EDIT: New item for FC3/DCS wishlist, localised bird strike exemption. Assume a perfect environmental management at the base for 5 mile radius ;) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
EtherealN Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 Better feature: make whiners go quiet. :D Flying low means there's a risk for birds. Live with it. I mean, it's not like it's a big deal if you have to go-around and get a new plane anyway.

Sanch0 Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 (edited) There is no easy way to merge players flying FC and DCS planes in the same enviroment. In FC I'm able to fly making barrelrolls, talking with someone holding mobile phone, watching TV, fire missiles in the same time (and who knows what else). In DCS Im crashing after doing such things. Will FC3 change anything? Definitely not. Edited December 28, 2011 by Sanch0 1 PVAF "A fighter without a gun... is like an airplane without a wing" dedicated to F-4 Phantom
ZQuickSilverZ Posted December 28, 2011 Author Posted December 28, 2011 (edited) That sure is harsh judgement for a product that is not even out yet.

104th_Crunch Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 (edited) That sure is harsh judgement for a procuct that is not even out yet. I don't think that is harsh. It's a very reasonable assumption to say FC3, while coming with lots of great improvements, probably won't increase in the amount of systems etc. modeled much and therefore will not be at the same complexity of a DCS release. I personally think mixing complex planes with non-complex planes is not a big deal. I would be more than ecstatic to shoot down someone flying a FC3 jet with my DCS Jet. You wouldn't hear me complain about that. :) Edited December 28, 2011 by Crunch
GGTharos Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 Then you're doing it wrong ... be it your comparison or the flying itself, or a bit of both. In DCS Im crashing after doing such things.

ZQuickSilverZ Posted December 28, 2011 Author Posted December 28, 2011 Crunch I agree that you are probably right about the systems part. I was refering more to the possibility of them updating all the aircraft to the advanced flight model that the Su25T uses. I stand by what I said though. How can someone pass judgement on software they have not even seen yet? Thats like people who say X game is going to be great. Then it comes out and is rushed and poorly designed (Duke Nukem comes to mind). I say we wait and see. 1 I need, I need, I need... What about my wants? QuickSilver original.

Sanch0 Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 (edited) To be honest I hope I'm wrong. It can be different product than FC2 but I really doubt it. What can we expect from refreshed software? It will look better, it will soud better but it's the same idea. In DCS I feel a need to do something using procedures, radios... in FC you can taxi your fighter to runway without using taxi ways - just close your eyes and taxi what a feel.

Smokin Hole Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 Please ED, for the love of all that's convenient and reasonable, merge these products onto a single opening GUI and single multiplayer browser. If we are expected to step out of our WH to and into a F15C to fill a CAP deficiency on our team, then shutting down one game to start another is an awkward series of hoop-jumping for such an otherwise sophisticated product.
ZQuickSilverZ Posted December 28, 2011 Author Posted December 28, 2011 My major gripe about FC 2 was that there was basically no way to share target data or location (beside bullseye). I do not see that being fixed though. I need, I need, I need... What about my wants? QuickSilver original. "Off with his job" Mr Burns on the Simpsons.

I know you're speaking on the ground attack, so within those FC2.0 aircraft (25/25T/10A) there isn't any feature within the RL aircraft themselves anyway with the BS. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Obviously it is not in all the fleet, but the capability is there and hs been tested.
