Friar

Another post I just made How to kick this thing off? May I suggest that we let everyone spawn in, giving the server a moment or two to settle down and then post "go go go" in the chat window to all players. At that point we start the clock on the 90 minutes? I await their reply........

Copy of reply to question posted by Fruitbat... Originally Posted by fruitbat Salute gentlemen, First off, thank you for all the work on building this mission I have just one question lol, regarding how the radar is going to work during the actual mission. I've heard from Friar that if you fly under 100m you will not show on the radar, is this 100m above sea level across the map, as the German airfields are above that figure ( @160m ), and therefore, as soon as German planes spawn in, they would show on the red radar, or am i misunderstanding? Thanks in advance, DD_fruibat. You are welcome, and correct. The radar is fixed to the sea level, and so is the limit of 100m above deck. For this reason we gave it a limited range (~5 grids). The airfields closest to the Channel may show planes but the ones further inland should not. Originally Posted by airdoc Can someone re-check the German radar at BE22 please? I flew over it many times and didn't see a single AA shooting. It is supposed to be protected by a small motorized supply column. Does this have AA potential? In general, it seems like the whole coastal line from BE22 to BF23 (which has 2 targets for reds) doesn't have significant AA protection, although there are 2 airfields in very close proximity -Wissant and Calais-Coqueles- none of which has even a single AA. Although the airfields dont have aircraft, it seems pretty easy for a red guy to fly over this area without any opposition whatsoever. Well spotted, thanks airdoc. Originally Posted by SMURFY1967 I`ve added 2 X 20mm to each radar station, there is plenty of AA around the fields and target areas, Calais is a proper gauntlet as is Dover, as you`d expect them to be really. Thanks Smurfy.

Ok sorted it I went into the game made a change to the elevator and then went to conf.ini to check what had changed My Elevator is 1Y and the Aileron is 1X

I made the changes to the conf.ini in the hissie 6 folder

no, i have many changes to the conf.ini before

Hi Dave, I copied those settings into my conf.ini but they are not reflected in the settings within the game? My stick section is as follows [rts_joystick] X=0 1 4 9 16 25 36 49 64 81 100 0 Y=0 1 4 9 16 25 36 49 64 81 100 0 Z=0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 RZ=0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 0 FF=0 U=0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 0 V=0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 0 1X=0 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 0 0 1Y=0 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 0 0 1Z=0 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 0 0 1RX=0 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 0 0 1RY=0 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 0 0 1RZ=0 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 0 0 1U=0 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 0 0 1V=0 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 0 0 1X1=0 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 0 0 1Y1=0 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 0 0 1RZ1=0 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 0 0 I replaced the lines you gave but this did not show up in game Any pointers please?

Sorry, should have added not to worry about the time they state. The time is as we have stated...on comms as soon as you like for a 7:30 definate start

Copy of post from their site.. Battle-Fields & Dedicated Bomber Squadron vs. Danger Dogs DATE: Sunday, December 9th BRIEFING: 17:30h UTC/GMT (COMPARE YOUR TIME) START: 17:00h UTC/GMT DEBRIEFING: 22:00h UTC/GMT TS 3: 87.102.61.9 | password: letmein SERVER: 87.102.61.7:21000 | HyperLobby: battle-fields3 SERVER PASSWORD: will be posted here on the day of the Match REQUIREMENTS: game version: 4.11.1 + HSFX v6.X.XX TeamSpeak3: Do join TS, even if you do not have a working microphone. skin pack: DEFAULT SKINS ONLY (to eliminate any possible lag) RULES & DIFFICULTY SETTINGS: If a you have been shot down do not disconnect before the plane has crashed. Strafing of airfields is not allowed, use bombs and rockets if available. No shooting of parachutes. No ramming on purpose. No penalty required for hitting refly after you get shot down. External view available for your plane only. No padlock (both external and in the cockpit). Icons available for friendly planes only (black, name, under 500m). Dot range: 20 km. MAP DETAILS: The map chosen for this is Battle of Britain, in 1:1 scale. Match run time is 3h. After 1:30h we will switch sides and restart the map. Both teams will have 3 defined goals. The first team who first meets 2/3 of those goals constitutes a WIN. If after 1:30h there is no winner, we will count points to decide on who won. Record tracks if you can. Each goal represents certain target type, and a required percentage of it destroyed. - For RED team those are total number of enemy planes, ships in the harbor and static planes on an airfield. - BLUE have to destroy an airfield, ships in the Channel and radar installations on the coast. Both teams will have radar cover represented by FOW and 90 seconds refresh interval. Tactical advantage can be achieved here. If you destroy enough radar objects the enemy will be left without radar cover. (further map details and info will be available tomorrow evening when Fusek is done with the map)

Hello, To aid communication on the night we have been invited to use the BFS teamspeak server The details are as follows address : 87.102.61.9 Password: letmein I suggest that you all set up the connection and drop in ahead of Sunday just to make sure you have it sorted. Regards Friar

df server....doh......did not realise we had one now in hissie 6....well done

Hi Glen, Great to see you back, now have a word with Psycho will you.. I know Janet has spoken to him on Facebook, that would be like the good old days...... We do not have a server running at the moment I'm afraid. I plan to host later this evening friar.dangerdogz.com with the map so perhaps drop in then

I had to disable the "magic mouse" on my throttle as well. It became a game of trying to hit the button as the cursor made its own way across the screen from right to left

according to this; Friendly icons only, showing up under 300m: black / callsign only. is this correct; mp_dotrange FRIENDLY DOT 20.000 NAME 0.30 mp_dotrange FOE DOT 20.000

Your opinions are always welcome FT as is anyone else who wants to chip in. The more advice I get the better

Reply received... Of course you do. Here is what we have now: 1. Externals ON, player plane only. 2. See 1. 3. Friendly icons only, showing up under 300m: black / callsign only. 4. No padlock available. The rules: 1. Agreed. 2. NO strafing of airfields with guns and cannons, bombs and rockets only. 3. Agreed. 4. Absolutely agreed. 5. That is a gray area IMO. What defines a damaged plane? RED team will have a goal of shooting down as much planes as possible. Slightly altered rule perhaps - allow your opponent to bail if he put his lights on by giving him 10-15 seconds to do it. If he doesn't or starts doing something else - open fire freely. Crash landing is another matter why this is a gray area... Winning scenario my take (this is how the mission has been built): RED: shoot down certain amount of planes and/or/both destroy certain amount of targets - since you only have Blenheims at your dispossal, we gave RED a smaller target to destroy BLUE: Destroy certain amount of fighters and ground / sea targets - we could place plane and pilot limits on all airfields, that could make this even more interesting... Let me know how DD guys feel about this and I will start a new thread with rules and everything no latter than tomorrow evening.

A copy of my latest post over at the BFS/DBS forum Have we made a decision on the difficulty settings (I think we ought to if not)? as we would like to practice tonight with them on so that we can see "whats what" so to speak. Could you confirm please; 1. Will externals on the ground be available Yes / No 2. Are we going for locked pit once in the air Yes / No 3. What will the icon ranges be for both friend and foe 4. Will external padlock be available Yes / No We should also agree that 1. If a player has been shot down they do not disconnect before the plane has crashed. 2. Strafing of airfields should not take place, bombing from altitude yes, strafing no. 3. No shooting of parachutes 4. No ramming on purpose 5. Damaged planes should be given all best effort to return to base rather than bail and re-fly as soon as you are hit. Should we define a winning scenario? Something like that as you have the radar stations on the map that if the Luftwaffe can destroy 3 out of 4 (for example) or will it just be points accumulation? Not long to go now and we need to decide/publish these things so that both sides can plan ahead. Salute and thanks for being a part of this. DD_Friar

Ok they are still aiming to be ready for 18:00 but have also said that they are happy to start when we get there. As this could be a long session we WILL start at 19:30 and no later. Its a dogfight map so if you are late you will still be able to get in, but we dont wont too many people comming in and asking what they have to do. So on comms from as soon as you like and ALL TO BE READY FOR A 19:30 START

They have suggested a 6pm UK start time. I have said that I feel that will be too early for us. What is the consensus? Can I suggest a compromise of meet on comms for 6:30 and a START of 7:00pm? What do the US guys say? Please speak up now as we need to get this sorted this weekend really so we all know what is going on Thanks for you co-operation Friar

I am hoping to receive the final copy of the map for the match later today. I have suggested to FT that either I or he host it on Sunday so we can have a look at whats what. Regards Friar

Thanks Tonar They were testing the map this Sunday just gone I will drop them a post on thei forum to ask for a copy of the map

My football (soccer) team, Crystal Palace have a group of American style cheer leaders and they have made the oil lowing video [/url]
