The Virtual Festival of Aerobatic Teams or VFAT is a big international airshow like RIAT or MAKS and spectators will be able to watch the demonstrations flown LIVE through our VFAT TV.

The pilots mostly simulate the displays of real aerobatic teams like the Patrouille Suisse, Thunderbirds, Blue Angels, Russian Knights and Blue Impulse, however, many teams also create their own spectacular displays instead of simulating real life counterparts.

Witness the result of another year of hard work by the pilots, simply for the enjoyment to the general public!

VFAT 2010 Dates:
December 03/04/05

[dwarden (snabela) bistudio.com]

Till skillnad från många andra sim/spel företag erbjuder BIS sedan lång tid tillbaka alla användare att testa och ge feedback på deras betaversioner.

Betaversionen installeras parallellt med existerande version och startas med en separat shortcut (skapas i A2 foldern) så man enkelt kan välja vilken man vill starta och påverkar således inget annat.

 http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php

Inget krångel och inga krav men om du erhåller CTD's etc. så är det bästa sättet att ge dem feedback genom att ZIP'a ihop följande tre filer och maila dem till dwarden (snabela) bistudio.com tillsammans med aktuellt versions nummer och en kort beskrivning (de svarar inte på det e-mailet utan bara samlar dumparna för att kunna reproducera/fixa eventuella buggar).

 ArmA2OA.bidmp
 ArmA2OA.mdmp
 ArmA2OA.rpt

För att ta bort en beta är det bara att radera (eller döpa om) följande biblotek (är nog inte samma för STEAM), gör detta innan en ny beta installeras.

HMS - Head Mounted Sight
--------------------------

1. Pull down HMS [H]

2. View at target are (solid circle = within Skhval FOV, blinking circle =
  outside Skhval FOV).

3. Slew the Skhval sensor to current HMS cursor position by pressing
  uncage Skhval button [ O ]. Then fine slew as usual and lock any targets.

4. If you want to look up another area just aim with the HMS sight and
  press uncage Skhval button [ O ] again, you will see a cross in HMS sight breifly.

5. If in hover mode with auto turn ON [Q] the heli will automaticly turn the nose to
  head the new target area but it will take some time so be patience.

Jag har sedan i somras stångat huvudet med både ED (via e-mail) och dess moderatorer (via forumet) i en förhoppning att de skulle bekräfta och fixa denna minneshanteringsbug som introducerades med de senaste patcharna för både FC2 och DCS:BS i Maj.

Nu ~6 månader senare tog jag kontakt med dem igen och fick följande respons från ED (saxat ur deras respons)...

...
Constant CTD in multiplayer is an extremely rare bug. It's so rare, that it's possible to conjecture the cause to be outside of FC2.
...

Av de jag flugit med här på NOSIG vet jag att vi är 4 stycken (jag, Salsam, Red One och Horisonten) av total ~8-10 som har problemet när vi lirar på MP servrar med många spelare, finns även fler i deras forum som har problemet.

Om de kallar detta "extremely rare" och pekar på våra system så vet jag inte vad jag skall tycka om deras support. Min slutsats blir att Eagle Design är djävligt ovilliga att patcha sina produkter så beware!

Kampanj 6: Battle 1 - Op River Rat startar Söndag 5:e December klockan 1900. Joina om ni har lust!

Det går att joina närsomhelst under kampanjen (under förutsättning att det finns lediga platser) men IMO är det roligast att var med från start. Kampanjen pågår i 8 veckor (med eventuellt juluppehåll) och är oftast inte avgjord förräns i sista slaget.

[ArmA II: Combined Operations]

Inte för att det behövdes en demo för att övertyga mig till köp (definitivt mer än jag förväntade) men det är ju aldrig fel att testa först...

This 3GB demo thrusts you straight into the unique gameplay featured in the full version of Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead; it showcases the realistic sandbox environment, offers multiplayer gameplay, and gives you a peek at the vast array of vehicles, weapons, units at your disposal. The demo offers a massive amount of highly detailed content, giving you a sharp flavour of the epic new environment (modelled on real-world data), a full taste of the mission editor, and a real appetite to experience the most authentic mil-sim available: war without the training wheels.

Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead's demo includes:
Singleplayer mission "Coltan Blues" from the main campaign
Singleplayer scenarios "Benchmark" and "Little Bird"
3 Boot Camp scenarios (Basic, Driving and Helicopter tutorials)
Multiplayer missions "Hike In The Hills" and "One Shot One Kill"
multiplayer template "Team Deathmatch"
Mission Editor with save/load option  

 http://www.arma2.com/demo/index_en.html

Och har ni inte A2 tidigare så rekommenderas ArmA II: Combined Operations som innehåller både orginal A2 + A2:OA. Föredrar själv DVD men snabbast/enklast är ju att köpa nedladdningsversionen från Sprocket (eller STEAM om man nu gillar det)...

Tankar nu och skall se om jag får in den lite senare idag... Next är kompabilitets patchen för DCS:BS (inkluderar även den nya ljudmotorn i DCS:BS).

FIXED ERRORS

+ Fixed the errors in the mission ââ,¬Å"Su-25 ââ,¬â€œ Routeââ,¬Â
+ Fixed AI logic for route navigation after conducting an attack
+ Fixed the AI aircraft parking errors in Sochi/Adler airport
+ The F-15 will no longer have the capability to identify friend or foe for a target masked in ECM
+ Aircraft will have the capability to refuel inside hangars
+ Fixed the error in the A-10 campaign structure
+ Fixed documentation errors
+ Reduced the turn rate of the F-15 below 0.4M
+ Fixed numerous errors in the encyclopedia

+ The Su-25 skin names will no longer be duplicates
+ Added smoke rockets to the A-10 ââ,¬Å"AFACââ,¬Â task payload
+ Fixed the error with the target zone setting when the target zone radius is entered before the zone is placed on the map
+ Numerous enhancements for increased multiplayer game stability
+ Fixed the score count in multiplayer in cases of multiple hits on a target
+ Simultaneous running of DCS: Black Shark and Flaming Cliffs 2 on one PC is now possible
+ The LoGetWorldObjects function will now return correct names ââ,¬Å".Nameââ,¬Â, ââ,¬Å".UnitNameââ,¬Â and ââ,¬Å".GroupNameââ,¬Â
+ Neutral airbases will no longer report air traffic without contact

+ Fixed the logbook error not counting the completion of a first campaign mission
+ Fixed Russian localization errors
+ Fixed the crash when pressing the Start button in the Training menu

+ Subtitles of player and AI radio can turn off with corresponding option.
+ Fixed numerous other insignificant errors

---------------------------------------------------------------------

ANTI-CHEATING MEASURES

To prevent cheating by exploiting altered visibility range settings in the graphics.cfg file, the the \Config\ServerGraphics.cfg has been created. Some parameters of graphics.cfg are exported to this file, which is included in the file integrity check system for online play. If the file contents on the client machine differ from the hostââ,¬â,,¢s, the client will not be able to connect.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

FLIGHT MODEL CHANGES

+ Fixed an error in the F-15 polar curves that had caused a reduction in time required to achieve sustained turn rate at reduced speeds.
+ For the A-10 and F-15, added automatic flaps extension/retraction based on indicated airspeed when the flaps are set in the ââ,¬Å"downââ,¬Â position in the cockpit.
+ For the Su-27 and Su-33, adjusted the flaperon mechanization logic (the indicator will blink while the flaperon is adjusting depression angles ââ,¬â€œ this is not a bug).
+ MiG-29 flaps will move with the wind force.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

ERROR PROBABILITY FOR RADAR-GUIDED MISSILES ON LOW ALTITUDE

Increased the error probability for radar-guided missiles (ARH, SARH, radio-command guided) based on altitude above ground. Currently the error probability increases from 300 meters to 0. Maximum error probability is at ground level for a target with minimum radial velocity. Error probability is reduced as radial velocity increases to 500 km/h. Above 500 km/h, error probability is minimal regardless of altitude.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

TRACK IR

For proper functionality, TrackIR software needs to be update via the ââ,¬Å"Check for Game Updatesââ,¬Â command in the TrackIR software.
