cichlidfan Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 Want to have some fun, if you can, set it so you can only go full throttle WEP for the 5 minutes the flight manual says it is good for or suffer engine damage. That will curtail the hotshots flying with full power on for 15 minutes or more. Once WEP and the rest of the engine damage model is finished, it will take care of itself.;) ASUS ROG Maximus VIII Hero, i7-6700K, Noctua NH-D14 Cooler, Crucial 32GB DDR4 2133, Samsung 950 Pro NVMe 256GB, Samsung EVO 250GB & 500GB SSD, 2TB Caviar Black, Zotac GTX 1080 AMP!

Ali Fish Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 (edited) i have tried to give a feel of just how dynamic this thing is in movement with the metal and light and reflection. its quite a spectacle !!!! but no pictures will ever do it justice. and yes its a bit wonky,sides not complete where the multi channels are concerned, and iam ageing at this level because it has to blend with the metal. but alot of what u see there is actually a reversed channel =wrong. but gota find out how these work somehow right. enjoy. the first image is my favourite so far to me thats how it should look. the plane is metal, the reflection naturally is blue. feedback please.

Teapot Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 Had a beer or two in celebration....:drunk::beer: Well earned I'd say mate :D. BTW, my favourite aviation movie of all time is "Tuskegee Airmen". Very moving/heroic/human story ... makes me emotional every time I see it, particularly the scene when they land on the road in front of a chain gang. Very moving story ... also when Cuba Gooding Jnr. buys the farm and they start singing the squadron song as he spears into the desert ...

ErichVon Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 What would be great is if the labels were eventually turned off, server side, so that you really have to look good and hard to find planes. This way pilots will spend a lot more time scanning the sky and hit and run ambushes will be possible. :thumbup::pilotfly:MJ There is an Espanol server that does this. Red side has the Lutwaffe Iron Cross skin markings. The guys 1st name is Christian, its his server. Good luck finding the bad guys. I flew a whole tank of gas and never saw the enemy.

Good luck finding the bad guys. I flew a whole tank of gas and never saw the enemy. Exactly. Even at 2-3nm out, the plane is a tiny little dot. I think I wore out half my hat switch life cycle in that session. There is always the map (F10) or padlock (F5). I flew on a server with no labels and fog of war on, so F10 was useless...not fun. ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P

Ali Fish Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 good flight last night, me slayer and wolf racked up 3.5 hours of do or do not, there is no try. very enjoyable trying to fly form. The horsemen have their work cut out for sure ! "said with huge dollops of sarcasm". Actually, serious new appreciation for what they do. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
VH-Rock Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 Cheers Ali, I look forward to seeing you guys fly a show some day :) I think DCS has given us all a great appreciation for the difficulty of flying these AC... Just Imagine, formation for 3.5 hours, Dogfight, formation for another 3.5 hours... Virtual Horsemen - Right Wing (P-51) - 2008... Virtual Ultimate Fighters - Lead (P-47) - 2020...
