Lack of Air to Air servers

[Maximus_Lazarus]

Couldn't find the server ?

 

Also, shit keeps crashing, freezing my whole computer.

 

Only multiplayer , it's stuttery can crappy like hell, and when some stuff is happening, or even when i make a sharp turn it just freezes up and i need to f^cking reboot

[Maximus_Lazarus]

Well, i played on the 104th just now.

 

Fire 2 missiles at enemy plane from no escape zone ... Then i get hit by Ground to Air missile.

 

So i wait for my kill message ... nothing .

 

WTF . So i think oh yeah "no tacview on this server" , so i select "replay" ... All i get is an empty map.

And when i close it, DCS crashes.

 

f^ck this nonsense, I NEED TACVIEW exactly for these mystery misses .

 

Tacview is ESSENTIAL .

 

Not playing on 104th anymore , deciding to have no replay option whatsoever, for the sake of maybe 1 out of 100 sad f^cks that MAY watch REPLAYS while they're still in game, is stupid.

 

Downloading and installing super awesome Tac View right now ;)

lol

 

Of course you get a blank map on replay. The No externals options on the server is embedded within the track. You must wait for the replay to finish then view TacView.

[Maximus_Lazarus]

So, i flew 30 minutes.

 

This means i have to look at empty map for 30 minutes , then watch in tacview ?

 

Guys, just enable tac view already .

 

I mean seriously, how many people honestly would be watching REPLAYS while flying ?

 

You can't watch it real time while flying so , i don't see the problem really .

You could speed it up. Time accelerate option. ;) x10 is a nice round figure. Also, make yourself a nice cup of tea in the interim.

Nah.

Loads. As well as making lots of other nice cheats with exports.

, Yes you could.

i don't see the problem really .

We do. As do other pro PvP servers. ;)

[Maximus_Lazarus]

Well , turns out i should have had that kill :-(

 

3 120's hit him, but somehow i still didn't get the score

:D So after getting something trivial off your chest in some rag3qu1t fashion you finally did what was suggested to you on this very thread 2 weeks ago and got tacview sorted, waited a whole 3mins for one to be generated, watched that tacview, noticed you did actually make the kill on a poor A-10 but then totally forgot FC3 is still in beta and posted the problem here instead of the bug thread. Can't wait to hear the next episode when you notice some lag just before missile impact.:megalol:

Hey Max,

Remember that the generous guys of the 104th provide that server (hardware and mission) for free for your enjoyment. So maybe it would be better to politely convey your points of view to them instead of telling them how to run a server by swearing.

Remember, you have all the tools to create missions and a server yourself. Why not prove the 104th wrong in the way they run their server by putting op your own server with the settings you like best.

The 104th deserve better than that.

"lag before missile impact" ?

 

Well, that can only be explained by 1) Lagswitch and 2) PRTScreen

 

Obviously

 

:D

 

 

Anyway, it just happened again on another server :-( ... Ka-50 , i even saw the explosion .

 

Do they have thick armor or something ? He just continued to fly around when i checked Tacview LoL :-(

 

And Bengo, you're absolutely right. It's just that since i'm a 3.5 K/D infantry godhuman in BF3 ( :D ) , i'm still adapting to these mechanics and net etiquette, and mostly to the fact that i'm not owning everybody with ease :-(

 

Over here people are also very gentle and curtious , it's quite the shocker for me.

 

I'll try to behave accordingly .

 

Excellent servers, all of them by the way . Like i said, i'm just trying to find my place :)

 

p.s: How much faster, and how much more range does the R27-ER have over the AIM 120b ? It looked seriously fast in Tacview

Edited March 2, 2013 by Maximus_Lazarus

[GGTharos]

... at what altitude? The R-27ER is faster, but also draggier, and more speed = more drag, so it'll hit the brakes harder.

 

As for range, you can consider the R-27ER a 66km missile, and the AIM-120B a 50km missiles under more or less the same launch conditions.

And if we change the AIM120B for an AIM120C ???

 

Just curious.

[GGTharos]

AIM-120C can reach out and touch someone 70km away. As long as they fly really straight.

[Maximus_Lazarus]

We were flying next to eachothher.

 

My AIM missile reached a top speed of 2.1 mach.

 

His R-27 ER reached 3.1 mach .

 

Just checked it .

 

Missiles were flying relatively straight .

 

Didn't know the ER was that much faster. THe R77 is slower than the AIM 120 though

The video is removed.....

[RIPTIDE]

Obviously

 

1) Actually there is one person that used a lagswitch of sorts in FC2 days that we banned.

 

2) That used to be an option in FC1 days and before. Now someone makes a screenshot, a message appears in the top along with the other server messages.

Bad karma killing Strikers.

[Maximus_Lazarus]

Yeah i removed it , just 30 seconds of missiles hitting enemy and enemy not dying

 

One more question :

 

At 6:30 in this vid i'm pretty sure a bunch of missiles are fired at me, but i see nothing on tacview ?

You see nothing, look harder I see plenty though far out of range.

[DieHard]

There's only one to be exact, and it's almost never online (Host is "alexej" )

 

Why aren't there more air to air servers ?

 

Sure there are.

 

I am in New York State. The ping rate to China is ridiculous for me, but several servers in China love to dogfight and is quite fun, but I am talking FC2. I still play FC2 and BS1 servers.

 

I frequent DCS World's squads' servers: 104th, 159th, <51st>, Enos... They all dogfight. Some guys even will pop the helicopter if one is not paying attention...

But it looked so close on my RWR ?

The RWR indicates signal strength, not range.
