I just checked out his channel and can only see one video with a sound mod, which is from over a year and a half ago and looks to be flying against AI. Every video I see since has default sounds.

Where / How do I find the settings?

 

I think I know how.

 

While in game, in MP, whatever server you are using, Left Alt + Tab, bring up My Computer, go to my/your drive letter, my (C: ) Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Config\View\Labels.lua then copy the .lua file. Stash it somewhere.

 

Use JSGME to overwrite the current Labels.lua

 

I think that should work.

so you are saying you can alter the labels that are being used by a server

I don't know this.

I am guessing.

And no one answered the question. :

Again, I don't know, and I am guessing that whatever server I have in Multiplayer while in game, changes to the one being used for that game.

If I am wrong about this, please correct me.

My post here is how I looked to see the change did happen, while I was in game on the "Burning Skies" server :

I didn't use my C: drive, I used my SSD , but it is basically the same path except for the 2.1.1 OpenAlpha.

I don't mind being criticized if I am wrong and / or being stupid as long as I learn something.

Right....

So you chose to pick a video before I was flying Burning Skies which i posted in Feb 2016. Which yes has a sound mod.

4 Videos that i have posted flying Burning Skies more recent, both 190 and 51, no sound mods.

So how is your point relevent to current flying on BS?

I don't know this.

 

I am guessing.

if so this is disgusting and it appauls me that integrity check isnt picking this stuff up. tbh dcs is binned for me until things get sorted ED

It is not cheating. It is the way DCS does it.

Sad to hear, but I agree. It is cheating. If you can change the intended labels that are just black dots to a different colour of a dot, this makes it easier for one to see his target. Therfore it works just like a primitive type of Wallhack. If you can do that, you can possibly change your dots into full labels and see the enemy from 30nm away and get all the detailed info about him/her.

I am hurting my eyes looking for contacts and others can just "adjust" their dots? Outrageous. ED needs to do something and quick before it spreads.:mad:

That is why I was so much for the "Imposters" made by ED back in 1.5. Even if they were a bit out of scale, they allowed to be locked and impossible to be changed. They made it the same for everyone as they adjusted to the different sizes of monitors.

Don't go though, we need honest and good players on the server.:cry:

I had a feeling something like that was going on. Especially from spotting above. Some people can fly up to 5-6km and spot people on the deck as if they were flying bright red hot air baloons. I won't name names but I've seen it in tacview repeatedly by a certain few. I just assumed they had huge monitors or something, and maybe they do and it is all fair play. But I have a feeling some might be doing it. If someone isn't over the water I have a very hard time seeing anything flying on the deck from 5km

+1 :thumbup:

For what it is worth, even if this different Labels.lua improves finding aircraft easier, it did not make it very easy for me spotting the guy coming at me trying to get on my tail. I had him zoomed in using my typical Hat view controls, I saw him coming while he was way out there, and very difficult to find him.

The way most guys fly, seems they want to be shot down easy. Got to use tactics to win and walk away from a fight.

Yep. Some guys just come from very far above that I can't even see them looking up, sky is clear and suddenly radar starts its whine and you have a 190 on your six.

Something tells me this has been going on for a long time. I always wondered how a guy could identify you and fly straight to you like they already knew you where an enemy. I have a 40" inch TV and can spot targets from a long ways but still have to be fairly close to identify friend or foe. Same with guys coming from way up and high and B&Z.

well u just fly towards a target so u can identify it right? and if its enemy u shoot;) u can zoom in and see friend or foe from quite far away id say.

About this, it could be VR people. When label dots are activated, with the level of supersampling going in a VR headset, the get blurried and kind of magnified. As soon as I activate labels in BS, anything inside label range (which is fortunately rather short) becomes hugely visible. If downward visibility wasn't so awefull in DCS, I'd avoid labels. They are "all or nothing" in VR.

That said it's countered by the fact that target identification is screwed up and impossible before touching range

I've removed tooltips from cockpits per VR players request

Currently designing new mission taking in account the variant Solty sent me.

I completely agree. The Label Mod used in Burning skyes is the best compromise (and also quite realisting ) actually. It should be used on every online server, expecially the WVR oriented ones.

Hi gents,

i am one of the guys that can sometimes spot contacts low on the deck from 5+ Km. But not because i use a mod, i think its more my resolution (1920x1080) and monitor settings + the ingame and nvidia settings, that make it possible to see from 5+ Km moving little grey dots on the deck. But this dident help mutch, because as soonest i check my six and go back to the point where the little dot should be it is gone. Even when i check the area around the last spotting point i cant find him any more. So you need to look all the time to not loose it and this makes you an easy target for other hunters :megalol:.

I like the lable mod from DCS ISRAEL more. It is the same as Burning Skies i think in the distance, but at closer distance it becomes more black and little bit bigger, so its not so easy to loose the enemy in a dogfight low on the deck over the france landscape and this is good for both sides.

There's no need in this anymore, since the patch fixed the issue.

And please, put the blueflag labels, as they are more welcome for most part of players.

I haven't seen blueflag labels. Why they are better?

+1 for the Blueflag labels

rigth now it is almost impossible(lets say very difficult) to spot targets Topdown ... if you want to know where the targets are, you go in low , see where the targets are(cause you can see them like 30km against the sky), and then climb up and hope to not loose sight on the target..

my 2 cents:

it adds to the fight diversity because altitude will be a thing again ... right now, nobody(very few guys) is/are above 3k because spotting topdown is a "Pita"

there about the same size but they have a darker grey(almost black) ... well ... maybe theyre 1pixel bigger, but i cant tell it honestly

Ok, as soon as xcom posted labels file in the thread I think he don't mind if we try it on BS. I'll put it to the mission tonight.
