Look at the coordinates on your GPS

But not everyone always gets a GPS except squad leader. It is not that hard to work out rough area as if in copter, you can easily see where you are (cursor/icon moves), and if it crashes you should know where you last were on the map. You can then use landmarks like building clusters to find on the map. Then use compass to plot a heading to destination. Easy :p

Yeah that's what I was saying. For example Hammer and Gord could be the pilots, I could shuttle the MHQ and ammo trucks, L33 and Shadow could be the commanders etc Simples :D lol

Although I agree it would be fun, it will be difficult to implement at this time because probably only half the people currently playing have enough experience to know what they are best at. Therefore the other half may end up getting lumped into a position they can't do, or don't enjoy.
It's fair to say "Hammer and Gord could be pilots", but what happens on the odd days when neither Hammer or Gord are actually online, we then have no one squadwise assigned to do the piloting.

I think we should stay as we are untill everyone has a better idea of what they are doing, and what is most fun for them, and then maybe in a few weeks work out some squads.

Its not that easy as it sounds. you have to lots of **** just to try and pinpoint a ROUGH idea on where you are. not fun at all. best to not have the server set the difficulty to veteran. pointless imo

Its just that you met me first time when I was piloting, there is no need for me to be pilot forever!;)
Gord and me were just mentioned to be pilots, as we did a good job on it first..
If any other guy of you can fly or want to do this, then do it;)
The slots are for everyone!:p
I would prefer a strict rule system for leaders/squads/pilots/engineers...etc.

Keep the squad idea in mind, and give others the chance to speed up with their experience in the different roles!;)

greetings


Hammer

p.s: I really dont know, what I wrote here lol:D
 
Indeed, some chap wanted to fly yesterday and I was more than happy for him take the A10 after he told me he could fly (he subsequently crashed straight into a hanger building but mistakes do happen).. me and Hammer arnt going to be the only ones to fly.

Probably won't be on early tonight.. more tennis to be played!

keep the bird stable so it doesn´t fly away^^ for this you can use the autohover to stop the bird:)

Hold page down (default) pressed until you see that the altitude goes down.. then slowly press the page down key less often...

oh and dont use autohover for landing.. in most terrain, the Blackhawk would flip or crash;)

Just a heads up guys but there are loads of ***** on the server tonight just TK'ing everyone at base. I couldnt get names because the server wasnt showing who was killing who oddly. No point losses or anything for TKers which was weird, but it was on a night map. That and people on TS were trying to TK the TKers.

Anyway, no admins around so cant really do anything about them.
 
oh im so there this is why ive just purchased me new pc bits for this game.
parts should be here tomorrow so wont be till weekend as ive got kids when i get back from work all week but week end im so there.
 
I rolled back to vista sp1, just installing game again now...

The server still messed up tonight? I really fancied a game.

*Edit* TS is empty, bad sign :(

Haha, good job.

When you're back I will be waiting you airlift you to a location of your chosing in the nearest chopper. Or I can just fly us into the woods like normal... or perhaps some power lines for a scenic change?
 
How do you increase in rank so you can use more vehicles? Do you have to play the single player missions?

I had a quick go last night/early hours of morning and despite failing badly it was fun. I really need to increase my map reading skills.

Anyone know of a good server where it isnt set to vet so I can practice more before using the lost in the woods games.

I am disappointed with the game manual as well, I would like to know more about the weapons that you can select.

Anyone recommend a good all round setup?
