ah. didn't see that :-) just tried, pix are shown with "no permission" icon...? are there any size restrictions for jpegs?

you need a wheel... :-)

it was good fun blowing stuff up. i spent some time looking at everyones attack runs on the convoys. quite spectacular :-) ...hoping for better weather next time, though ;-) (drag and drop dosn't work so i used imgur.com instead...) cu

a10c, su 27 (you never know...) thx :-)

i own the boxed version. is it compatible with the steam version? if so i'd be interested. ... with an f18, though. boxed version doesn't have an f15, iirc.

was another cool fly-in, thx for hosting it! took a few screenies at the end. i like the aerobatics, i have to say. cool stuff :-) what do you think of this doc: http://static.e-publishing.af.mil/production/1/af_a3_5/publication/afi11-246v1/afi11-246v1.pdf also, would anyone be keen to try a little combat mission for a laugh? i'm currently getting more into dcs thanks also to these flight nights here! i prefer the a10c and the su-27 atm, so if there's anyone out there who'd like to do some coop or pvp stuff let me know :-) cheers, dude

"you can have my watch.".... LOL

thx again for the input, dingo. just tried that, works like a charm :-) isn't there something like a skin-repository, a zip file maybe, with an assortment of skins i could download and install? or is there no point, really? i find it odd that dcs has so few commonly found multiplayer features (or i just haven't found them yet, i'm new to all this after all), ie killboard, shared paints, server filter.... @raz: is it possibly to have a su-27 reserved at batumi so i can swap after the initial tour? maybe in BESOVETS AFB default colors? maybe someone fancies a little dogfighting?

good idea, dingo. i just did the tour in editor and added all planes. they are all there. no idea why the hawk didnt show last time. thx also, i read that in order to someone elses livery i have to install it on my machine. if every participant posts a link of his paint scheme in his reply i will add them.

an a10c, again, please. also, great map i found: http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/onc/txu-pclmaps-oclc-8322829_f_4.jpg edit: is it possible to fly that skin? http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/de/files/86363/ also, last time i couldnt see the mig15's but had replacement planes instead. any ideas?

+1 for a pawnee as a regular transport pilot i'd say that having one pilot flying a pawnee wouldn't hurt transport at all. choppers are hardly half full most of the time anyways. instead times where helos queue up at base and just wait are plenty or transport pilots chasing after every walking soul to pick up... just look at the evac race when an ao is done. i'm also thinking the pawnee won't be overpowered on the battlefield, mainly because it's paper thin, has no radar lock on anything, meaning it has to go fairly close which makes it really vulnerable. rockets dont even destroy the radio tower either (or so i was told). i see the benefit in the added variety. generally i think that all sorts of arma assets are extremely powerful but due to general lack of coordination and cooperation they hardly ever unfold their potential even if individual skills might be really good. anyhow, just my 2c

hi not sure how popular that is but here is a ts3 addon called "crosstalk" that gives coms a radio-type sound. it's free, very simple to install, it gives a cool effect to ts3 coms and it's totally client side based which makes it ideal for pub sessions (i've seen it being used by some dcs pilots as well). http://addons.teamspeak.com/directory/addon/miscellaneous-plugins/CrossTalk.html https://github.com/thorwe/CrossTalk/wiki/Radio-FX it's a simple install and the features are found in the plugin tab. check "home" at the radio fx module and adjust the sliders to taste. when you have enough of it simply uncheck the "home"-box again. i use these settings: freq range 500/5000 ring mod 0/0,20 destr 10 freq range 600/5000 additionally there's a sound addon called "military radio" that changes the default ts3 sounds and adds a mic-click to give it a more military sound style. http://addons.teamspeak.com/directory/skins/sound-packs/Military-Radio.html if you just want to add mic-clicks here's a tutorial. use google to find different sets of click-sounds :-) have fun.

thanks for hosting this gig! i really enjoyed the event and hopefully there are some more soon. until then i will practise :-) btw: the aerobatics show was really excellent!

thx guys, that helps :-)

hi yesterday, 11.march, saw an epic rampage of a series of teamkillers on eu1. it started with THOR who went mental for about half an hour, killing everything and everyone at base. there was no admin ingame. at some point stuffedsheep showed up and relieved us from this guys sorry existence. big thanks for that! 1 teamkillers: now i have a question: while the idiocy was ongoing i whispered at josh in ts (mainly because i'm not sure who has admin rights or not and because i remembered his name from some forum posts. i apologize, josh, that i disturbed your eu3 game but things were rather desperate on eu1 at the time). he wrote a brief reply which i'm not sure i understood correctly. i got the impression that calling an admin on ingame chat channel is possible. can someone explain how that works? on a side note eu1 was plagued later on by another 2 dimwits (forgot their names, though). we were not able to rally an admin then and eventually i logged off. it was a crazy evening i must say. the degree of madness at base was severe. 2 selfregulation: are there any options other than calling an admin to return the game to normal? there's a vote-to-kick option in game. does that actually work? is there a possibility to vote for an admin who then has a kick authority? how about sniping the guy from outside the base? i know you strongly advise to refrain from ANY such action, but surely you can relate to how frustrating things get, especially when things get as mad as they were yesterday and no effort stops the idiot. at some point, since the teamkiller shot down helis at base constantly (and i was a pilot), i suggested to use an emergency pickup point outside base for continued heli transport to the ao. secure the lz and treat the tk'er as an enemy. i'm not even asking if that is acceptable since the idea didn't fly with the players :-) noone could be asked to walk/drive 1km to get there. people continued to be frustrated at base. teamwork only goes so far, i suppose. so what are the options, really, to deal with idiots ingame (other than logging off, of course)? sorry for the long post but thanks in advance for advice.
