Re: [DISCUSSION] Aircraft Regulations for Combat Squadrons
I think the whole civilian aircraft issue might merit an entirely different forum topic

Re: [DISCUSSION] Aircraft Regulations for Combat Squadrons
Yes it would be helpful if Soji released the source, but then we no longer have to develop scripts to supplement YS; rather modifying the source to suit our needs. But since Soji does not want to do so then we don't have much of a choice.

Youngling, YSFlight's source code is off limits, out of respect of the wishes of Mr.Yamakawa.
He has said that he will make it open source one day, but not until "he's done playing with it", if my recollections of his words are correct.

Re: [DISCUSSION] Aircraft Regulations for Combat Squadrons
For real-world aircraft, come up with an acceptable .dat file for each aircraft that all squads must use.
For fictional aircraft, create a .dat file that both sides can use. Both sides can have wacky designs for aircraft and both wacky planes can use the same wacky .dat. Before putting a new wacky .dat into service, send it to the other side so they can assign that .dat to their own wacky plane.

Re: [DISCUSSION] Aircraft Regulations for Combat Squadrons
I agree with this, with the caveat that the wacky (or let's call it "futuristic") dat(s) cannot be used to overpower every other normal one. This would prevent it's abuse (ie only using that one plane because it's so damn tempting). Thus it needs to be tailored in such a way that it's potential uses are very niche and limited.Patrick31337 wrote:Ok, here is my new proposal:

I'll start work on the 49th pack to reflect this, and then make a self-explanatory guide to help any current and future squad implement it. if they so desire.

Re: [DISCUSSION] Aircraft Regulations for Combat Squadrons
I suggest you talk out what .dat files to use as the "standard" for each type plane (All F-18s use the stock F-18 .dat, all F-22s use the HQPGAC F-22 .dat, whatever). Then take your favorite futuristic .dats and each squad can assign those to their models.

It could be worth review - Thanks for bringing this up, KM6.KM6BZH wrote:I have found out that 2ch (the Japanese YSFlight community) has a GAC pack which has basic A2A combat aircrafts, with real life like .dat files. It has a lot of aircrafts from a lot of countries (Japan, US, Russia, etc.), so it might be useful. Just saying...

Re: [DISCUSSION] Aircraft Regulations for Combat Squadrons
Maybe the metric system that was proposed earlier would help with this. Also, as I have seen some designers doing now, they have been giving arguments based on design for how a plane should be able to realistically perform based on the shape or the presence of certain features like canards, wing shape, etc.Patrick31337 wrote:Ok, here is my new proposal:

One thing I'd like to add is that I know some communities like this with an endless possibility of performance efficiency is that they make limits based on tech limits that people can pick and choose from. You can have a restriction set for modern tech, post modern, and future. For different combat events or servers the squadrons can reach an agreement on what restriction set to use. I implemented this for a similar situation on a different game and nationstates uses this for roleplaying.

Re: [DISCUSSION] Aircraft Regulations for Combat Squadrons
It's not for Windows. If you're on OSX or Linux then yes it is, but I remember Krux making a Linux friendly version, so maybe you can ask him for the link, if it's still online. Also, the GAC pack has been around for a long time and is already well known and liked. While it does simulate relative performance well, the only banes are the horrendous fuel consumption and the lack of use of newer YS variables, given that this was made before 2010.KM6BZH wrote:Oh, but the 2ch GAC pack is pretty hard to install, FYI.Nodoka Hanamura wrote:It could be worth review - Thanks for bringing this up, KM6.KM6BZH wrote:I have found out that 2ch (the Japanese YSFlight community) has a GAC pack which has basic A2A combat aircrafts, with real life like .dat files.

Re: [DISCUSSION] Aircraft Regulations for Combat Squadrons
I can now do the "spider graph" comparison I wanted to do.
Can anyone help me draw up some math functions to do this?
I can add whatever variables I like, as many as I like. I am not constrained here. That said, I would like to have no more than, say, 6 categories.
See below my suggestion:
=============
ACCELERATION = (MAX CALCULATED THRUST / MIN CALCULATED WEIGHT) * 10
TOPSPEED = (REFVCRUS / REFTCRUS) / 200% *10
TURNRATE = (MAXVALUEOF<MXIPTAOA,CRITIAOA> / CPITSTAB * CPITMANE? <<DOES THIS WORK?)
STRENGTH (STRENGH * MINIMUM DAMAGE)
ARMAMENT (MAX NUMBER OF WEAPONS)
STEALTH (MINIMUM CALCULATED RADAR CROSS SECTION)
OVERALL: WEIGHTED AVERAGE OF ABOVE VALUES

Re: [DISCUSSION] Aircraft Regulations for Combat Squadrons
Sorry Pat, but the 49th didn't make this topic, nor would we have in the 1st place. We'd rather not drag combat matters in the open. In all honesty, discussions like these should always be in the O Club; for example, when Bomb and I discussed stealthy briefly back in 2013.Patrick31337 wrote:If squad leaders are working together to resolve their disputes, they need to A. make their members aware of that, and B. make the general public aware of that. I'm not saying details, but let everybody know that the hostilities are over and that your members should cut it out, shake hands, and move on or move out.
But I digress, there is currently no formal arrangement between GRUN and the 49th. If there is, it won't be posted here, HQ isn't the place for it.

But why shake hands and forget about it. Fight. Isnt that why there are combat squads in this game? Lets have some fun, no?

The community at large has been effected by this - And it is getting to the point where tensions are getting to a all time high. We need to resolve this issue before irreversible damage is done to the community - It's time for both of us to come together, GrunSol and VFA-49 and discuss these issues as to resolve this. I am willing to come to the table if you all are willing to.
@Alpha Star - We're not so much shaking hands and forgetting about it - We're shaking hands, only to turn around and have a gunsmoke-style shootout.
