Ludwig Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 When I did these events some years ago in RoF… the winds NEVER changed... that made it super easy for me to be setup and ready and I could nail the target with 100% reliability. If the winds change from week to week, you will significantly change the equation. If you are consistently off in length, you may need to be using the AGL altitude when setting up. Reference the MSL altitude of the target and subtract that from the altitude you set on the sight. I have not bombed in FC so I don't know if it factors this in... but if you are at 3000 feet and your target is at 400' MSL then you would set 2,600 on your sight to account for the difference. It makes a tiny difference, but if you start adding up those tiny differences, you find out why you are not hitting exactly as you should. Again, this is WAY more accurate than real world bombing.

Klaiber Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 I definitely want to get involved in tank crew, and had actually set up my controls months ago. Waiting for just this moment. But because they share inputs with the flight sim portion, it screwed up my flight controls. Once I figure it out, I'd be down for some armored stuff.

IRFC Hawkeye Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 16 hours ago, AngryGoat said: I should be wheels up in 20minutes or less Seems like being wheels up in a tank might not be that great of an idea.

Firefly Posted September 4, 2020 Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 If anyone's up for some DCS fun, I'm going to be flying on the Cold War server starting in about half an hour (1900 CEST). I will take a short break around 2030 and resume flying about an hour and a half later (2200). Unless I throw my monitor out the window I should stay online until very late in the evening.

Etzel Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 Hi Pilots, as this Saturday is no FiF, maybe we use the evening to have some coordinated JG1 on any IL2 server?

Etzel Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 Friday evening sounds like good time for some combined action on any IL2 again; anyone else in the same mood? I would be ready between 2000 and 2100 UTC, maybe also some NA east coast pilots would be available already in their afternoon...
