Something that is not really self explanatory is the fact that in order to build your unit on the parser whoever creates the unit becomes the administrator of it on the parser, and  needs to generate a link that they then send to pilots who are part of their squad. 

 One thing to note, the J5 stats site does not have links on the log in page like other stat sites do for forgotten password and Registration confirmation which are both useful for building your squadron.  Currently, I can't seem to log in despite having written down the password and can't get other members of the squadron the link.

PS 3rd Attack Sqdrn (103 et al) are now showing since 4 of them got up and flew at some point in the past week. All it took was the fourth one to fly for 20 mins.

 

The rest are still laid up with that Klugermann from Armentières.

Thanks for pointing that out, Rob.  We will try to resolve this as quickly as possible. Sorry for the inconvenience.

The stats page is really "ACE" I like all the detail.

 

it would be nice to see who shot me down though, on any particular sortie.  It might display on screen, during the flight, for people who use the techno chat stuff, but I always turn it off (VR)  so never get to see any chat or messages until I'm back on the deck and in the home page.  Given all the other details you've managed to get from the logs I'd have thought getting that info would be a bit of a sinch.

If you click on the sorties tab you can select an individual sortie and at the top there is a tab called sortie log which will give more detail such as who did what damage at what time.

Example: http://stats.jasta5.org:8000/en/sortie/log/6738/?tour=6

Thanks, I'll have a look.  Now which bugger was it, j99_Sizzlorr or  Seawolf ?  I will have my revenge "In this life, or the next, or the next, or the next, or the next.......", actually it might take several dozen virtual lives ?  The pair of them chasing me down like that, it's just not cricket.

You can check on your Sorties, then click on a given sortie and then Sortie Log. It will show who you shot down, who shot you down. The green logs are your hits, the red logs are enemy hits. When it says Was Shot down / killed is because someone shot you down. If it says Shot down or Killed, you shot someone down.

 

Good luck!

And if it says you got shot because I Got Shot shot you down, you were shot down by I Got Shot.

Hi Chaps,

 

first off thank you for providing such a great server for the community.

 

Just wanted to highlight that I had some serious drop-outs last Sunday (when the server was running at 50/50).

 

I am not entirely sure what was the exact reason, maybe my old hardware (from ca. 2012) however the previous day we were flying on the Entente side and it was ok.

 

Any one else experiencing such issues lately?

 

S! Sahaj

[J99_Sizzlorr]

How do you drop out? Do you get an error message? My game froze once last Sunday shortly after i took off. But i think that was not an issue with the server but rather with my hardware. This was my first and only game freez in FC as of now.

[1PL-Sahaj-1Esk]

 

This is the error message that I am getting. (happened only in DR.1 so far)

 

S!

[J99_Sizzlorr]

That looks more like a problem on your end. What Windows version are you on and what GPU do you have?

[1PL-Lucas-1Esk]

Oh, maybe you should update your graphics card drivers?

Also, google "dxgi_error_device_removed" There are some possible answers to your problem, Sahaj.

Check graphics memory usage, it can be not enough and causing crash.

Use msi afterburner to display statistics as OSD it the game .

  We were on last Sunday and noticed a few of the 1PL guys having connection issues. Wonder if it could have been a regional thing?

 

  I really don't know.

[1PL-Sahaj-1Esk]

.. updated the drivers in the first place, let's see what happens now ..

 

thx

[No.23_Gaylion]

So can we get some spads able to do recon missions since they can carry cameras?

 

Would be fun and different.

Joined the server as a solo pilot this past weekend when the player list showed it to be almost entirely full. (48/50) or something like that, can't remember.

 

I flew around for about 20-30 minutes and couldn't find a soul.

I flew to where the action should be according to the map, nothing.

I flew where the announcements said stacks are active. Nothing.

Then I got pounced by a trio of camels who tore my pfalz a new one. I was just happy to see someone, twas getting lonely.

 

Back up again in a Dr1 from a new airfield hoping there would be activity there. Nothing. 

Flew for what felt like another 20-30 with almost exactly the same experience. 2 camels this time.

 

I'm guessing it was just a bout of bad luck but I don't usually have this much trouble finding action on servers with bigger maps and fewer players. Will try again

 

Also mates, come on! 

My engine has stopped, there's fluid all over my goggles. i just want to put the busted up crate on the ground. You don't need to keep shooting until my pilot is dead. Bad form old bean, bad form.

 

edit: Barrel full of fun!

Spotting is much more spotty in this engine than in RoF.

 

It's actually kind of funny- Once you get better spotting here, go back to RoF.   It feels like having icons on.

My opinion is that until they fix the cloud bug (they are saying it might not be possible to fix), the contrast bug, the bug where planes merge with the sky in some patches of it, and tweak it somehow, we can't compare both ROF and FC, especially because these bugs negates a big portion of our spotting capabilities that we should have for granted.

 

If you check the bug section and the visibility bug reports there, then you will go back to the map and start identifying each one of them. Right now the visibility appears to be more like a very early draft, so let’s see what they do with it in the next updates.

 

I intend to attend the Lille event to see how it is back in ROF. I don't go there since the visibility update. I’m curious about it.

After some time spent on the "expert" visibility setting and experimenting with my graphics settings, I found it quite bearable. On my 1080p monitor, that is. I found that if I tick the "sharpen" checkbox combined with landscape filter set to "blurred", I can see quite a lot. For everything above medium distance, I need to use good dose of zoom to see anything against the ground.
Planes above the horizon are visible pretty well (and with full zoom even at very long distances). Reflections make airplanes very easy to see in appropriate lighting conditions.
Are you using VR or monitor (and in case of the latter - what resolution?)

Same for me Jakob @1080

I play in VR (original Vive) for planes and 4K for tank crew. I have a 43" 4k Monitor so the pixels are the same size as a 21.5" 1080 display. I don't really have much issues spotting on that but, again, that's tanks so it's different.

I've never played anything in VR (yet), so I can't give any advice there. ?

[JGr2/J5_Baeumer]

Server updated yesterday. Waiting for parser update to log new objects. Plane kills will still register.

 

@71st_AH_Rob_XR-R

You have mail here on the forum.
 

[JGr2/J34b_Matthias]

Server updated today 11/8 with latest hotfix.

 

Revamped missions and at least one new mission with ww1 objects coming "soon".

Edited November 8, 2019 by J5_Matthias

[JGr2/J5_Klugermann]

I hope they're "my kind " of objects.

[J2_Drookasi]

Today 11/8, I am getting the ''#10019: Unable to connect to a game server'' message. Any ideas on what is going on? Anyone else having the same issue?

[JGr2/J5_Baeumer]

There are players on the server now as I write this who have been able to connect.

[J2_Drookasi]

Indeed, I can see that but still I am getting the same message. The other servers, I can join them with no problem. I hope it is just temporary!

Was excellent tonight. I’ve not made it on during the weekend before but to see so many people buzzing about was amazing.

You learn something new every day !

that was rock'n'roll tonight ...Can't wait for the maps updated with new WW1 objects 

[slug_yuugen]

BTW is there a Discord server or Teamspeak for public use? Wouldn't mind trying to get a bit more organised with people without accidentally typing to everyone. ?

 

I just found the J5 teamspeak server address but is it for use outside of the Sunday event by us unaffiliated types?

 There are times when it is used for events, like JG1's Flanders in Flames on Saturdays. Otherwise you may feel free to use it . 

 

  You can use the link in my signature to go to the J5 website, there is a menu on the left side and if you click on "Radio Room" , it will show you who is currently on TS.

You can also go to the server parser and click the info tab and scroll down to see the teamspeak channel address there.
