Ah, but that only turns them off as far as you looking for other planes.  If someone else was looking for you, is there some way you can make your plane 'invisible' as far as the red letters are concerned?  Otherwise it's going to make finding a downed aircraft very easy as soon as someone gets within 10 miles of it.


One huge problem with that. How are we meant to tell who we've killed? ;) Can't really be shouting out "I've killed...someone!"!

I think this is an inherent problem which stems from using FS9 to do something it was never designed to do...

oh good point.... Oh man. Well i hope that people actually turn them off if there is no way for the host to do it.
This is going to proof the "loyalty" of other people, see what i mean?

Ok lets start a vote.
(just say YO or Yeah, or sometihng f you want it)

Should the good guys have:
F-15's "Eagle Fighter" , UH-60 "Black Hawk" , A-10 " Warthog" ???
Should the bad guys have:
Mig-29's, Black Hawk (so downed pilot doesnt know that he is being piked up by the bad guys in case) and a search plane, i like the A-10 since it can fly really low...

Ok after this voting thing, we discuss the start location...

OK here are my suggestions.

For head-to-head
US/NATO:
F-15C (vs flanker)
F-16 A-D (vs fulcrum / F-16N)

Russia/Warsaw Pact
Su-27
MiG-29
F-16N (for anyone that doesnt have the MiG)

For low-level recon:
Add A-10 for NATO and Frogfoot for Russia.

And for the helicopter choice:
NATO should get Puma helo's, these do look a little more like a russian machine (Mi-8 / Mi-24)
Russia should use Mi-8MTV... the one with the big ammo racks on it, as the Mi-24 is NOT used as a evac helo unless there is no Mi-8 to do the job.
Russian planes: IL-76 (all standard length ones),  Tu-154 and Il-62, Tu-134 and [url=http://an24.uw.hu/]An-24RV[/ur

The rules are really similar to the WARGAMES, get at least 1/4 of a mile to an airplane, then count to 5 and type Kill USAF [insert name, please use numbers] and that airplane will have to land. They got 3 lives each. If the enemy moves and gets away from you for more than 5 seconds (goes away from your pannel, aka you have to move your head to look at him) you loose him and have to start again from 0.

USAF starts at Nellis, [insert enemy name] starts on othe rairport, discussed after the vote I called, check page number 1 for details...

Ok lets do it like that.
