Can you get data on all aircraft in multiplayer? Speed/heading/position?

Can that be done client side or does it need to be done on the server? I'm not sure how to execute arbitrary scripts on the client.

Server side only, however in single player mode, server=client. You can't execute arbitrary scripts on clients in MP as that would allow security threats.

Yeah that's what I would have expected. But that means the only way to get data from multiplayer is to get it either from the server or from a track file.

Do we know anything about the .ntrk format?

way to drag this thread off topic, maybe start a new one?

This topic is a joke. 14 pages of people saying "omg if it's true that's bad" but nobody's actually taken the time to establish if it's true or not.

I checked.

The OP is correct.

Difference between fully open and closed radiator on the BF 109 E-4 in CloD is 0%/0 km/h.

Doesn't matter what throttle/prop setting, doesn't matter what height. And yes, i flew straight and level.

Just saying "I checked" is not proof. Sorry. Do you have a track file?

Are you sure about that? Were you fully open at the beginning and fully closed at the end? If so, did you trim your plane after closing those rads? I can´t be really sure, but opening my rads fully always resulted in my planes tendency to climb and vice versa.

As ZaltysZ noted, it looks like the answer is no.

Since the very beginning I have adjusted my Rads but having read this thread decided to leave them fully open on a MP session for the entire session. I didn't notice any difference or penalty - not one that would be considered a disadvantage.

I am now unsure as to wether the Rads have any drag impact but having said that I will continue to control my rad settings as a matter of good habit just in case something changes regards this in a future patch.
