Subsim Tournament: Bi-plane category Sign up

[HunterICX]

Attention pilots,

by the idea of Xabbarus, we are going to have ourselfs a little tournament.
We start with the first category Bi-planes.
those would be the following:

J8A Gladiator
I-153 M64
Fiat G42

(Note: the I-153 P variant is not available due its Cannon armanent)

the area we fight is not going to be the Island map due some performance glitches.

we are going to use the regular flat Dogfight map with clouds around 1500 meters:



the map is going to modified, only the airfield in grid C4 and C1 are available.

Server Realism: 100% except for the speedbar

Rules:

1: When you are going to bail out, turn on Nav lights and bail out, and when you see the enemy turn on its nav light you will stop firing, you won.

2: when out of ammo, you may try to get back to base , land the aircraft properly and refly (re-arm) but the enemy is allowed to chase you till the end. Crashing on landing will be counted as a Loss and a victory for the other player

3: crashing by accident, is a victory for the other player and a loss for you.

Yea I get the humour m8 but seriously. I must have issues with my viewing options I dont see diddly squat when i look around in cockpit view

[Dowly]

The other plane doesnt have to be too far, when the game only renders it as a spot. 2,5km or so. It's pretty easy to caught approaching plane against the sky or a cloud, but if it is near the ground, it's almost impossible to spot it.

One thing you could check is to open up your conf.ini located in the IL2 main folder, and find the entry for [Render_DirectX] or [Render_OpenGL] depending on which mode you play the IL2. Abit down there is a setting called VisibilityDistance=, I think the default is =2 and AFAIK, the maximum is VisibilityDistance=3.

Hope it helps.

Looking forward to it. Just practised with no external views and it makes a big difference.

Will the map icons be turned off?

Yes.

Speed bar & your own map icon are the only ones on.

I don't think I'll join. I broke my right ring finger when I fell yesterday, and the splint I've got on it today won't be coming off for another week. I've been playing Red Baron 3D's FULL CANVAS JACKET mod, and it's not going well with the splint (bloody fingers are all jumbled up on the joystick!). Sorry guys, but I'm out.

Seth reporting in, when is this goign to be?

[XabbaRus]

I have web space with my provider but i don't think i can run script or the necessary software.

Boohoo.
