So 1.5 is where things will stop running like complete rear end with more than a handful of planes in view?

I felt a bit miffed when I first ordered this 200mbit line just to get some extra upload because every ISP here is super dumb and doesn't want to offer packages with a sane down/up ratio, but at times like this I'm pretty :smug: about it.

Its not the speed its the bandwidth. Bandwidth caps are a thing in Canada for some retarded reason and its the end of the month.

Try living in Alaska if you think caps are bad. $180 bucks for 600 gigs with a 10Mb Up 500Mb down(usually stagnates at 150-180). the next one down is $140 for half that. Then there is others that have unlimited, but youre 3 up/ 20 down for 150/mo

Dedicated servers were mentioned as not being ready for v1.5 and are currently slated for v2.0.

The new server browser is in though.

Ya, they're holding the netcode changes until 2.0 so it doesn't sound like there's much going on in 1.5 save for client-side optimizations.

And they ARE apparently releasing Steam and standalone beta installers side by side...

Woah, looks like I picked a pretty good time to get back into this.

Have ther been any news on what Leatherneck Simulations is planning to release? I can't find anything on their Website. Last time I checked they had the F14 in development, a secret WWII fighter and possibly another secret thing.

I like how eagle dynamics can't just like partition out their work sanely, and announce an open beta release and then work balls-out overnight to do it. Imagine if they were responsible adults and could just finish the update and drop it WITHOUT pre-release hyping.

No concrete information regarding the other two airplanes they are working on, and they have delayed their September announcement until I assume 1.5 is out (should be any day now for 1.5).

That being said, they have released a few savory tidbits of information on their WIP aircraft, including:

Leatherneck posted:

Ground Mapping and Targeting Radar
Complex missiles with Advanced Targeting Parameters
Custom shaders for enhanced visual fidelity (e.g. CRT Screen representation)
Far more complex avionic and computer systems than in the MiG-21
New and unique PFM features and aerodynamic configurations
New or unique methods of propulsion or force distribution

So, take what you will from that...

I call either a Harrier or something with active thrust vectoring modeled

I haven't seen a post on it, but I can't imagine that you'd be able to sit in either seat unless you have the module.

Looks like I'll have all of Friday evening off. If so, I'll be hosting On Station starting at 6:30 CST.

Be warned this requires a little patience. If you can't handle basically chilling out taking your time killing dudes and want airquake this isn't the mission for you. Knowing how to create waypoints and work with JTAC is also needed. If a few of you show up I can always be the one doing the thing and broadcasting my SPI.

Does anyone have the server software for this android app?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.arifkomurculer.falconmfd&hl=en

This is for the app that puts both MFDs on one android tablet. The link is dead and google only turns up the server for the 2-tablet displays which while cooler requires me to find another tablet.

Yeah, I can't find it now but one of the Leatherneck devs specifically said that both players will need to own the module. They also said they would not do cheap 'back-seat-only' licenses or anything like that.

What steps do I need to take to be able to use my Steam keys with it again? Will associating my Steam keys with my standalone account from way back in the day screw up my poo poo?
