Situational Awareness - The Virtual Battlefield Journal


FLANKERATOR

Recommended Posts

We create and organize top-grade online competitions using the most iconic MilSim video games.

Our journey started with Digital Combat Simulator (DCS) and one of our initial acts was the establishment of a year-round computer ranking system that provided fair analysis of a player’s performance.

The SA Rankings kicked off in 2012 and has continued through today as the world rankings for virtual combat pilots and squadrons flying and fighting online.

Oh gawd, neon green everywhere, oh the humanity. Aside from the color scheme I love the concept as a whole.

The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.

Nice concept but theme is eye-crazy :P Neon is not the best choice :E

Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make... HISTORY! :D | Also to be remembered: FRENCH TANKS HAVE ONE GEAR FORWARD AND FIVE BACKWARD :D

Thanks guys for the feedback. As for the color scheme, I will start a poll to see what would be the overall impression, then wear something else if needed, it shouldn't be that fancy. But I'm pleased as most of you liked the whole concept which is after all the essence of the project ;)

This looks like a promising way to help new guys like myself get into the multiplayer scene quickly. I'm going to make it my second home page.:thumbup:

Ah I see the confusion. "If you pull this off" , means 'if you are successful'. It's an idiom. :) It IS the best idea there.

Glad you like the chat lobby Rip :) It's an attempt to revive good old HyperLobby days, I think it was a great place, I've, myself, learned tons of things there through meeting and flying with experienced players.

 

Thanks for the clarification, and yes I'm not a native English speaker ;)

I like the concept, but agree about the colour scheme being a little on the gaudy side. Something understated with less "tone" would be easier to read and the images would probably stand out more too. Cheers and good luck.

 

Whatever happened to the old Flanker 1.5 ladder?

"A true 'sandbox flight sim' requires hi-fidelity flyable non-combat utility/support aircraft."

Wishlist Terrains - Bigger maps

Wishlist Modules - A variety of utility aircraft to better reflect the support role. E.g. Flying the Hornet ... big yawn ... flying a Caribou on a beer run to Singapore? Count me in. Extracting a Recon Patrol from a hastily prepared landing strip at a random 6 figure grid reference? Now yer talking!

Teapot, thank you for your feedback. I am planning some CSS tweaks as well, it's definitely on the to-do list.

 

Not sure about the Flanker ladder, but the latest Ladder system (Team Combat League) has been recently disabled.

 

We might see other competition ladder-based projects emerge in the future.

FC2 1vs1 Guns Only Tournament

 

dogfight.jpg

 

 

Initial intent was a P-51 1vs1 BFM contest but according to general feedback, DCS World's MP is not very stable yet and ED is obviously working hard on a patch to fix that. Meanwhile, SA is glad to announce its 1st FC2 1vs1 BFM tournament. <br><br>

 

Rules(please read carefully):

 

- 1 vs 1 BFM competition (guns only).

- Best of 3 rounds with knock out stages.

- Event type : STT (Short Term Tournament).

- Minimum players for the tournament to start : 16

- Maximum players before closing the sign up : 32

- Top 8 players will earn SA points.

- Event rating will be determined according to the average SA Ranking. The higher the rating, the more points at stake.

- Players will be seeded according to SA Rankings.

- Map will be ready soon for download. (Ramp start. Initial distance between opponents about 100km. Bases will be protected by short range SAM's)

- Authorized payload : Cannon only

- External views and padlock prohibited

- Free fuel setting.

- Both players have to take off simultaneously, reach the target zone on time and stay within the CAP area for at least 3mn. Exiting the CAP bubble too early is considered a loss regardless of the round outcome.

- To collect the round, players must neutralize opponent (actual kill or tactical kill), RTB and land on home base.

- 1 refuel/rearm is allowed per round for each player.

- Players can alternate hosting and swap air bases after each round.
