Rules[]
No Vulching
Vulching is defined as attacking/destroying an aircraft on the ground. If an aircraft is on the ground or has its gear down for landing, YOU MAY NOT ATTACK IT!
Dogfighting
All are welcome to dogfight. However, if you wish to dogfight make sure you have the other pilots permission. If you don't have permission, then don't attack. If continue to attack then it is classed as Vulching.
Civilian shooting
Attacking an unarmed aircraft, without permission, is grounds for a ban. The exception is that the civilian aircraft may be participating in an online exercise, if this is the case then all pilots online must agree to whatever rules are set.
The YSFHQ code of disengagement
The YSFHQ recognised code of disengagement is the release of three (3) flares fired in close consession. This code marks you as someone who doesn't want to attack or you want an threatening pilot to disengage. If an offender continues to attack then order a free fire. This rule does not apply to those in a dogfight or a pilot that has had a free fire ordered on.
Server Features[]
