Forum topic about server and statistics

In case of infringement of the server rules, server failures, misoperation of the phantom or aerobatic BOT, please address me in ICQ (5-651-271) or write it on forum.

Together we can make the server better and pleasant place to fly.

The Aerobatic BOT program
The aerobatic BOT is actually a real player, though controlled by special software. Instead of making use of a joystick and keyboard, the aerobatic BOT uses Lock On Lua exporting features. The aerobatic BOT only flies horizontally maintaining altitude and speed and it can not takeoff and land. The BOT can make turns though and because of this the aerobatic BOT is perfectly suited for basic virtual aerobatics training.
WR=210=Vladimir(Bublik) is the author of the aerobatic BOT software.


Phantom Control
After WR=210=Vladimir (Bublik) created the aerobatic BOT software program, he continued to work on a new program called “Phantom Control”.
This software is also based on the Lock On Lua exporting features though the difference is that you can record and replay your own flight (online) on a server computer. This software program has proven to be a great training tool for the aerobatic community and is used by many LockOn Aerobatic Teams. The huge advantage of this program is that pilots don’t need a real life leader at all time for trainings. Instead of that you can fly in formation with the pre-recorded leader aircraft at any time.



Raz-Client
Next to this, WR=210=Vladimir (Bublik) also created the Raz-Client program. This little program made it possible to synchronize callouts with the leader. Raz-Client basically overcomes the lag issues of online voice messages by sending out a signal (triggered by the leader pilot) which reaches all the clients at the same moment in time.


VAT "Berkuts" server
After Bublik retired of virtual formation aerobatics, server admin “BR=30=Yaroslav” (WR=230=Yaroslav) continued to work on Bublik’s vision of creating the perfect training tool. He made it possible the Phantom leader could make use of voice callouts. After implanting the voice callouts to the Phantom (recorded by the group leader) pilots can hardly tell the difference between a real leader and the Phantom.
To improve versatility of the Phantom, Yaroslav also made a Phantom mission rotator by creating scripts for the server computer. The VAT “Berkuts”, thanks to Bublik and Yaroslav, can proudly say to own the best aerobatic training server in the LockOn community.
