kingneptune117 Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 Hey all, I've already got DCS A-10C, but i'm interested in FC3. Are there a good amount of people on here who play FC3? I don't want to buy it if there are very few people playing it since the multiplayer component is important to me. Thanks.

Geronimo989 Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 I would also like to know that. Also, are they planning to do the AFM and cockpit for the Mig-29?
71st_Mastiff Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 well not really atm because of Server side lag issues, and missile problems; been going on for a year now. I haven't been able to play a decent MP for over a year with out CTDing, or lag deaths. if the numbers are small say 10v10 its ok but any higher don't go in the server. :joystick: "any failure you meet, is never a defeat; merely a set up for a greater come back", W Forbes.

kontiuka Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 If you have FC3, you can play against anyone on multiplayer. Even if they don't have FC3. So, you could be flying your F-15C or Su-25 and go against someone in an A-10C or Ka-50. So, the user base really isn't an issue.
dooom Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 51st, 159th, 104th, firehouse and 76th servers all popular with fc3 crowd... well worth the buy ASUS Tuf Gaming Pro x570 / AMD Ryzen 7 5800X @ 3.8 / XFX Radeon 6900 XT / 64 GB DDR4 3200 "This was not in the Manual I did not read", cried the Noob" - BMBM, WWIIOL
Flamin_Squirrel Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 I see plenty of people flying FC3 aircraft online. This is my limited experience, which is by no means objective however.
neoshi Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Sometimes... I feel lazy and just want to be able to do everything without removing my hands from the HOTAS at all. Kinda couch potato pilot mode. :pilotfly: FC3 is good for that. :P
fitness88 Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 I fly MP all the time and no connect problems...works very well for me using broadband.
Night Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 There are some server side issues that will occasionally happen. This can be incredibly, unbelievably annoying. But even looking at this issue, FC3 is still WELL worth it. ED sims have a rabidly loyal and fun user base for good reason. I own DCS: A-10C and FC3 and I ONLY play multiplayer. It is fun to be able to switch to a fighter jet after a guy shoots me down in the A-10c so I can shoot him down :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Nvidia GTX Titan Pascal - i7 6700K - 960 Pro 512GB NVMe SSD - 32GB DDR4 Corsair - Corsair PSU - Saitek x52 Pro - Custom FreeTrack IR Setup - iControl for DCS
