BMS is so cool, it really makes my larp dreams of being a fighter pilot come true
I did a check flight EE to see what was different but I find myself going back boomerflying in the Mosquito
>>416081086Its a cold war jet and its not as gay or shit as the F-5 despite being French. They plan to release 4 variants which is why it's more expensive than some cold war jetsYou have a radar but no IFF which means you have a plausable reason to teamkill that might let you successfully appeal bans.You can say "Hon hon hon croissant baguette eiffel tower" while flying it

bruh I just learned getting armorers to set and choose bomb fuses was a thing in game. Are there any airburst fuses that don't need to be set up via the cockpit? like something that would work with the Skyhawk.
>>416118397Aren't changeable fuses just on WW2 modules right now?
>>416119359nah any bomb that has the little yellow symbol on it can have the fuse set on the ground. 0 info in game or in manuals on the different fuses tho.The Mk 80 series bombs on the F1 actually have more fusing options than the WW2 bombs on the Mosquito

I'm more and more interested in the F1, the wait for the Corsair II is killing me and the Mirage looks like a nice mix of analog piloting and early computing.Is there a variant with improved A2G capability (CCRP at the very least) already released or upcoming?I'm mostly interested in ground pounding, but the Fox 2s seem like a nice capability compared to the F-5 and A-4E
>>416153120*Fox 1, durr
>>416153120F1 has no computers, at least not the CE in-game. The new EE has a digital INS, and RWR, so those are kinda computers. I think you won't get proper CCIP and digital HUD till the late-80's and later upgrade programs, like the F-1CT.
>>416148368BMS SAN I KNEEL
What is this
>>416155698A plane.
>>416156107But what is it
>>416156176It's an airplane anon.
>>416155698Avro Shackleton
>>416153120>>416154142They're eventually going to make the F1M variant, which should obviously have a CCRP, since it's an 90s avionics update.Though it's a bit too modern if you're asking for early computing.
>>416162212i'd be fine with an equivalent of the Skyhawk's bombing computer, that requires no digital hud or anything, the hud is even more basic than the base F1's. cause i'm honestly too lazy to git gud at manual dive bombing; high speed, low altitude level bombing i can do, only two parameters to match up, but FUCK dive bombinghttps://youtu.be/Qpe-xaXsx8g?t=101
>>416163772Do you have the Viggen? The CK-37 is literally the first digital computer to be put into a production aircraft. I feel it's kinda similar in capability to the Apollo Guidance Computer, only your main output is the HUD.
Dont know why but i always thought the F-111 would be cool for cold war games in DCS.

Where is everyone
Why does every combat flight sim except BMS have retarded slavs as developers
>>416202247I don't know but DCS froze again.
>>416202247cheap developers. executives/producers that are passionate (ie. retarded) enough to pursue an extremely difficult area of videogame development instead of making a mobile/gacha game that would make orders of magnitude higher profits
i love hind
>>416167629I would buy the shit out of it. Will the Australian-sand map have the southern coast of Indonesia and East Timor? It could finally live out its destiny of bombing the Indons and dropping bridges behind the FEBA in Europe
>>416202247Flight sim code comes to you in your dreams when you get the krokodil dose just right.
>>416202247Well EA's Jane's used to exist for what its worth. There just wasn't enough money in it for investors to be happy. BMS also helped kill it.Flight sim people want more fidelity but that demands extensive real world on foot research. It also requires lots of IRL unclassified documentation, for new military hardware that's hard to come by. It's why most aircraft in DCS are retired or on their way out of services. Even then there are supposedly a few things missing from the F-16 and F-18 DDI/MFD because of classified documents. Also most gamers don't want to deal with the reality's of flying a real aircraft, they don't find it fun. Realistically I think combat flight sim are just a niche of the already flight sim niche. High-fidelity mil sims are just not that interesting to enough people. So under paid Slavs who love military aircraft pick up the slack.
>>416203702You got more? This is really nice
>>416203702how tf you made your webm so high quality? and is the webm limit 4mb now?
>>416202247These are correct answers.>>416203113>>416212463While only a part of what contributed to the death of combat flight sims in the west, it really bums me out that the bar for fidelity has been raised so high that it pushed away any kind of casual appeal these games can have. The success of War Thunder I think shows that there is definitely an audience for that "missing middle" of flight sims, but only a crazy person would actually put in the funds to make a sim these days.
The F-15 sits so high that I feel like I'm looking up its skirt when I taxi behind it.
>>416226662The F-15 is fucking enormous, way bigger than I imagined, I don't think you can appreciate just how much bigger it is than the F-16 unless you actually see them in person
>>416223651>4mbYeah
>>416203113>extremely difficultWhy is it more difficult than other games to make?
>>416202247the people who can code and know aeronautics are expensive to hire and can get better pay in the aeronautic industry, in Russia they pay both like shit so there's a choice.
>>416242557A great many reasons. This is hardly a comprehensive list, but quickly off the top of my head:>no "off the shelf" engine you can use like Unity or Unreal>flight sims have very specific and unusual requirements compared to most games, so there is necessarily a lot of "engine" development required>requires massive environments (thanks to Ubisoft and open world games though, you could probably find people for this)>has complex control requirements and robust support of joysticks is a nightmare>requires complex physics and people who know their stuff are in short supply>doing something with DCS level fidelity is extremely time consuming and complex, there's an insane amount of moving parts the player doesn't think of when simulating a plane like this (e.g. what bus is this circuit breaker on and if it fails what systems does it take with it? how does a failure of that system cascade into failures of other systems?)>the scale for a flight sim is usually going to be very large and if you plan to populate it with a lot of moving AI entities this can be difficultTL;DR: They require a lot of specialized technology to be developed and a lot of specialized knowledge to make that technology.
>>416225547>missing middleThere's a missing middle but it's unfortunately locked behind VR and has fake planes
>>416247847Arguably Strike Fighters 2 is also in that middle
>>416221039i don't have many of those >>416223651>>416055369
>>416247738That dude's getting laid tonight.
>>416202247MSCFS used to sell not only the games, but the peripherals too. However, once everyone had a sidewinder stick, the sticks weren't breaking. They couldn't sell more without going into the enthusiast (autist dcs / xplane) territory. Add in the fact that higher graphical fidelity was making things more laborious. MFS2020 now relies on scanning in models, like DCS does.
>>416252557>webm over 3 MB outside /wsg/ and /gif/since when?
>>416255263¯\_(ツ)_/¯
>>416255263Dude we already had this discussion, they increased the size limit to 4mb.
>>416203702do you have any hind tips for someone who recently picked it up?
>>416261360i don't think i'm qualified to give tips on the hind, but i'd say do not trust its RWR and use slow rate of fire for the gun.
>>416254054msfs2020 is just a platform to show their new azure data streaming tech and graphical fidelity of the new xbox. fsx was just a gimped version of microsoft's commercial offering. prepar3d is based off the same commercial engine. xplane has a professional offering and a gimped commercial version.in short, commercial flight sims have always been an afterthought since they are not profitable at all>>416261360for the gun, short burst fast ROF/slow rof on every other setting. avoid target fixation on your attack run. do not go faster than approx 350km/h if you want to continue flying, otherwise retreating blade stall will fucking kill you

All you are saying is "it's difficult because you have to do stuff". You have to create things for every game, of course it's going to be difficult. You're just talking out of your ass, with no reasonable claims, yet alone verified.

>>416394174So it doesnt look and play like 2003 shit anymore now?
>>416394813It looks like 2003 shit, but never played like 2003 shit.
>>416391179>Unreal engine for your flight sim?Star Citizen would be a good case study as to why its not ideal. CIG started with a off the shelf game engine(I think Unreal), switch to something else, and then still needed to do extensive overhauling of the code to get the flight physics to work. According to people that play SC the flight physics are still ham fisted. From what i've heard the game engine they are using is almost entirely there own creation now because they had to gut almost all of the old code.There is a lot of under the hood coding and trickery that needs to happen to give the illusion of proper flight physics in a flight simulation. This requires skilled software engineers to mimic or give the illusion of fluid dynamics without calculating fluid dynamics at a granular level.
>>416391353How is he wrong though?>You have to create things for every game, of course it's going to be difficultThat's literally what he said, the difference being that the level of "shit-to-do" just to make a single high fidelity jet is often on par with the difficulty of making a whole new game. Basically, other games never focus this many resources on a single object, because it's a waste of resources. But in sims with high fidelity aircraft, it's a must.
>>416374818>night fighting in a day fighter>probably unassisted, with no GCI or search lights
>>416397193A big studio/publisher would have no issues with making a flight sim. You are confusing the fact that Eagle Dynamics is a small or cheap developer who is only doing the bare minimum to keep the revenue coming in with some kind of "very hard to make!" thought. Why is it harder to develop something from very clearly laid out concepts (the manuals) than to create a big AAA game where you create hundreds of models, do sound design, do world design, do game design and everything else?It's clearly a case of "I like flight sims, so it must be difficult to make them!".
>>416399489>modelsYou know you need models for the planes, right? and the switches and buttons inside them, and all the maps with their trees and buildings and ships as well.>soundPlanes still need sounds too(and ones like the tomcat need voice-acting too)>world designInstead of just making a map in game, you need to take a real area, then convert it into your game, then add trees and buildings and shit to make it look convincingly like a specific real area(in a non-sim you can just make whatever terrain is fun to play on, without needing to match it to reality)I will also repeat what>>416395517 said>There is a lot of under the hood coding and trickery that needs to happen to give the illusion of proper flight physics in a flight simulation. This requires skilled software engineers to mimic or give the illusion of fluid dynamics without calculating fluid dynamics at a granular level.
>>416401116>You know you need models for the planes, right? and the switches and buttons inside them, and all the maps with their trees and buildings and ships as well.And how is that different from a regular game? That's exactly the point, idiot. It's all the same, it's not harder.>Planes still need sounds too(and ones like the tomcat need voice-acting too)Read above.>Instead of just making a map in game, you need to take a real area, then convert it into your game, then add trees and buildings and shit to make it look convincingly like a specific real area(in a non-sim you can just make whatever terrain is fun to play on, without needing to match it to reality)The fidelity for flight sim worlds doesn't need to be high. Terrain elevation data can be easily acquired. Trees can be autogenerated and are. Placing buildings is in no way different than in other games.>without needing to match it to realityWhat does that even mean? Do you think that your DCS map is replicating real life 1:1? It's not, it's just a bunch of buildings where a town is supposed to be. It's the same shit in other games.>>There is a lot of under the hood coding and trickery that needs to happen to give the illusion of proper flight physics in a flight simulation.You need one person. You are making it seem like they're pioneering real life flight computers for moon landings. They're not. They're tweaking things so it looks like the real thing. They're not even emulating the avionics and flight computers or weapon system computers. It's being simulated, as the name implies. You wouldn't even be able to notice the difference if it were otherwise.Keep telling yourself that making flight sims is harder than other videogames. You have been successfully brainwashed by ED into accepting mediocrity for premium prices. This is your brain defending itself from realizing how retarded you are (I doubt your brain is even capable of that).
>>416394813>broken dcs buck
>>416399489There's not enough money in it for big AAA developers. Too niche for a big studio. Also, while they can make hundreds of models, they're usually more about the quantity than quality. DCS cockpit models need to be detailed enough up close. I think you can even see the RGB cells on F16 displays if you zoom close enough.And manuals are not as clearly laid out as you'd think. Finding enough documentation is actually one of the main problems when making a high fidelity jet. Many of the manuals say what happens when you flick a switch, which is good enough for a pilot, but it probably won't go into detail enough for the sim developer, like HOW it happens, how fast it happens, what sounds it makes, how it affects the performance of the jet, etc. It may tell you the flight envelopes that you have to follow, but it doesn't tell the developer what actually happens if those envelopes aren't followed.Because that's the main difficulty with combat sims, players will definitely put those vehicles under high stress and they will also fly into combat and get shot at. Trying to simulate the damage modelling is much more difficult, because the manuals don't really dive into that.
>>416401746>And how is that different from a regular gameIt isnt, but flight modeling isWhile i will admit that i'm not an expert>You need one person.I really fucking doubt thatIn a civ sim, sure. Most stuff will probably fly pretty similar to each other, but in milsim where as>>416403285 mentions, shit gets pushed to(and beyond) the limit
>>416403285It also wont tell you what safety margin the engineers designed systems to. For example how far you could actually push particular components before catastrophic frailer.
>>416403285>Also, while they can make hundreds of models, they're usually more about the quantity than quality. No way, you're saying game developers have to make models?! No way, stop the presses.>I think you can even see the RGB cells on F16 displays if you zoom close enough.Wow, really worth the -20 FPS.>And manuals are not as clearly laid out as you'd think. They pride themselves with having "SME experts" or however they call them. They interpret it for them.>Finding enough documentation is actually one of the main problems when making a high fidelity jet. Then guess. They guess, everyone guesses.

Also, you're exaggerating.>Trying to simulate the damage modelling is much more difficult, because the manuals don't really dive into that.What is your damage modeling referring to? The 3D model? Why do you need every rivet to be bent by a nearby explosion, or otherwise it won't look good in your epic cinematic?

Or if a damaged component is causing your plane to roll left 5% faster than it actually should?>>416403913It's their job. They're hired to make it work. Just like other people are.
>>416404343I'm in this thread for the train and sub sims but you sound like a massive faggot. You might want to get that checked out.
>>416404343>The specialists they consult will tell them. Also, you're exaggerating.>you can pull SMEs who know every line of code from their entire plane out of your assWhy dont you go make sims then, since you know how to easily find these people
>>416405404Every other DCS newsletter or forum post is "... our SMEs...".>Why dont you go make sims thenWowooowow, amazing argument. If that's your whole take from this, then you really are retarded. The reason why I don't make flight sims is because it's equally difficult as making any other game and I can't do that.
>>416404343>No way, you're saying game developers have to make models?! No way, stop the presses.I think you're just confused, my friend. I don't think you even know what exactly you're trying to argue against, because your own point here is kinda...pointless.>They pride themselves with having "SME experts" or however they call them. They interpret it for them.Also an inperfect solution, because most of those SMEs maybe haven't flown in a decade, so their memories might not always be as reliable. Especially if those SMEs don't have any actual combat experience and have never put their own aircraft under the stresses.Another problem is the fact that they all only have limited knowledge. A pilot doesn't know much about the inner workings of the machine and a mechanic doesn't know much about the performance in air.>Then guess. They guess, everyone guesses. Alternatively stop trying to make the F35.That's even more mediocre of a solution.Please make up your mind if you want the simulation to be less mediocre or more mediocre.>The specialists they consult will tell them. Also, you're exaggerating.See above>What is your damage modeling referring to? The 3D model? Why do you need every rivet to be bent by a nearby explosion, or otherwise it won't look good in your epic cinematic? Or do you think that it's significant to model how your FLCS fails if it's just that: failed? Or if a damaged component is causing your plane to roll left 5% faster than it actually should?Component failures from being hit in a certain place; the effects of damaged wings and control surfaces on the flight modelling; stress damage from improper handling of the aircraft...You know how half of the switched in your cockpit are emergency switches that don't have a real purpose in normal flight?A good damage modelling should be able to put those switches to good use, but ED does indeed struggle in that department as well.
>>416405980>sims dont need more than other games>but SMEs are really importantBig brain thinking time.Perhaps they do need more things, like SMEs, like advanced flight models that perform realistically under even the highest stress conditions, like realistic damage modeling, like systems that funtion exactly identical to their real-life counterparts.

>>416414542The air force should just put the Growlers' jamming pods on them to make them long lost EF-111 replacements and then just make whatever mission they're planning on using them for now secondary missions Probably wouldn't even be that hard since the Growler is a Boeing jet too

>>416413325>caution do not lower gear above 300 knotsWhy do they need to write down something as basic as that? Surely that's very superficial, often used knowledge for a pilot. Why do they need to be reminded of something that comes up so often? I'd understand if it were something that's very obscure and never pops up. But not to lower the gear at a certain speed?
>>416418232non standard landing emergency situation where you need to land fast possibly without flaps or the like, it's easy to forget things if your aircraft is on fire or whatever, good to know safe fastest lower speed they include these speed references on boeing commercial aircraft too

Look what i got bros
>>416427059What is it
>>416430256Book about the Su-27 and variants until the Su-57. It's pretty nice, full of cool pictures and interesting stuff about the planes and their history.I have other books on the way, about Ka-50/52, F-15 Vs Mig-21/23, one about russian armor from 1990 to 2020 and i'd like to get one about the Mi-24 too.I like to understand the stuff i'm flying/driving.Not a russia shill btw, i just love their gear.

Star citizen's problems are far bigger than that, fundamental problems like wanting to make a seamless mmo in cryengine, an engine hardcoded to a max of 60 players per instance... But they have infinite money to waste implementing cloth physics in a game where you consistently fall through the map into the abyss. And they'll get more money from people who think they'll be able to escape their meaningless lives and live in a space game. Star Citizen is a bizarre anomaly and not a good case study for much of anything.

>>416418232Many aircraft have important do not exceed speeds placarded,
>>416247181DCS does not have system failiures. Recent modules dont even have a damage model that belongs in simulator.Looking at you Viper.
>>416514016the f16 damage model consists of 3 states - completely fine, irreversible fuel leak of all tanks, or destroyed
>>416514016f-14 has system failures they have to be pre programed
>>416514016>recent modulesthe Mirage has system failures that can happen due to flight outside the envelope like electrical overheating or destroying your own engine Mig-25 style. The damage model is pretty good too.
>>416514548For real ?
What are you guys using for rudder pedals? I was looking at the VKB T pedals just because they work well for swivel desk chairs. They're also only about $250 with shipping. My last set were Saitek but they shit the bed.
>>416534427Saitek Pro Flight Combat Rudder Paddles.The only part of my original setup i'm still happy with.
>>416542762>Saitek Pro Flight Combat Rudder Paddles.>i'm still happy with.Really? I never really liked them but put up with them.
>>416546407>Really? I never really liked them but put up with them.Not him but i got them and they're functional i guess, i never had any other pedals so i don't know any better.
boomp
>>416534427CH Pro pedalspretty uncomfortable with a center stick but cbf to get something else
>>416547115I've had them and upgraded to the MFG crosswinds. The saiteks are functional, they're plasticky and noisy, they're not very comfortable, the action isn't very smooth and the tensioner is easy to over tighten and break...... but they work. They don't have the finest control, but they were good enough to fly helicopters with in DCS, so good enough.Better pedals are noticeably nicer to use, especially with a damper, but they're a lot more expensive. Just be aware you're paying for niceness and quality rather than better functionality.
>one more year the least until the new versionShit.
>>416534427You also can't use rudder brakes with them, and it's the only reason I haven't gone for them.
la creatura
>>416565327>You also can't use rudder brakes with themYeah I know, its a compromise I'm mostly ok with. They're more modeled after pedals in gliders and helicopters with skids. I've gone through a few reviews that say because you're only moving your ankles instead of your whole leg it's easier to get precise movements.I was also considering the MFG Crosswind for $100 more. Tons of people that have them love them.
>>416534427Thrustmaster T.Flight PedalsThey're shit
>>416569720I have the vkb's they're pretty good, built about as solid as you can get. only complaint I have about them is they are a little bit narrow if you prefer your gets a bit farther apart
do combat flight sims suffer from having third party devs who are total autists and remove their old stuff from sale, forcing you to pirate their delisted content to get mods that rely on said content too work?
>>416572328not that I've seen definitely no malware that unsalts and downloads your chromium password vault and sends it to the devs like civsims either
>>416572645>malware that unsalts and downloads your chromium password vault and sends it to the devs Holy shit did this actually happen?
>>416572328No, we just had one dev team that so shit their only plane was removed from the game against their will
>>416573105Yup flight sim labs a320 came with a file called test.exe that scanned the registry for any potentially pirated aircraft of theirs and started dumping.
>>416572328I have a few OG modules that I bought way back that have been superseded that are no longer for sale but I can still download.
>>416534427Nothing because everything under £300 seems to be out of stock. Also my dog likes to sleep on my feet
>>416514548I was in an F16, got shot by a .50 technical, thought I was OK, pulled more than 1G and my wing snapped off.
>install rtx3080>still get 10fps at a farp on ecwMultithreading 2 weeks.
>>416576326should have bought a new CPU instead
>>416575338>everything under £300 seems to be out of stockNot even above 300. I ordered a Virpil CM3 base and extension, I'm going on four weeks now. According to the forums I'll probably be waiting for another two to four weeks.
>>416577223>another two to four weeksI ordered mine 2 months ago and I haven't heard shit
>>416578343>>416577223heh amateurs, I waited 3 months for the Lithuanian babushka to make my throttle
>>416576439Yeah the leap from 3.6ghz to 3.7ghz on the single core that DCS uses I'm sure is a real gamechanger.
>>416569720>>416534427I've been using Thrustmaster TFRPs but have a set of MFGs in the mail - I liked the VKB but I use toe brakes too much to not have them. I'll post what I think when they arrive
>>416579007Unironically it is if it's the 5800X3D. CPU cache is the hidden key to decent performance in flight sims and no one realized it until the 5800X3D came out.
>>416579664I am due a cpu upgrade and I have an AM4 board. I shall consider your words carefully random Internet stranger.
>>416581164Just get it, you'll end up buying one eventually since AM4 is done, 5800X3D is the final and greatest possible upgrade for the socket And it genuinely makes a massive difference for sims, pic related
Sub bros...I'm still on doomium.
>>416534427If you fly choppers they are the best thing thing going. It does suck to not have brakes and have to map them to something else though.
>>416581603>msfsOK cool but what about single-threaded sims programmed by slavchimps?
Can we please split DCS into it's own thread? I'm sick of /simg/ just being /dcsg/
>>416583831Then talk about other sims.
>>416582338i-is that Modern Naval Warfare?
>>416583831Without DCS this general would be so dead it would fall off the board. But also DCS should be in /milsim/
>>416584051>>416584446DCS faggotry blocks non dcs posts out so much that nobody even tries.
>>416583831Yay, let's make this thread CFIT at 100 posts instead of 300 every time. Wanna talk about other sims? Post other sims then, faggot.
>>416584436Yeah. Old screens. I just realized it's pretty dumb to expect anything from this game. I mean sub sim made by like 2-3 literal whos with fancy control room? They're basically constructing flight simulator with hydrostatics applied as they said in log 2. Make sense. But in the same time this means >2-3 literal whos are making DCS engine and full fidelity jet (submarine)
>>416585504I still wanna believe. I also wanna believe I'll play it this year. I suspect I'm gonna be disappointed

Whats the longest most ausitic in depth series to get started with DCS? I know absolutely JACK SHIT about planes let alone flying or anything else.I have the t16000 and track ir I used in warthunder for a bit.
>>416600786video series*
Anyone used one of these for DCS? https://dofreality.com/Is it worth it? I am considering getting the "Consumer H6 (6 Axis) with SFU drive"
>>416600786pick a module first, there's no tutorial video series for a DCS as a whole since that doesn't make any sense, you study how to use the aircraft, not the game
>>416601458I have the bf109 and f16 since those are what im interested in. Are you sure there isnt any videos even not just for dcs that can help me understand stuff? Like I know almost nothing about this stuff besides whatever you average warthunder player knows which is basically jackshit.
>>416601735https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCFMX5z-ed4for really basics of flight like you don't know what lift, drag, or a compass even is just look up stuff for dweebs trying to get their ppl.Watch vids wags puts out as it has info on what ED has actually simulatedhttps://www.youtube.com/@MattWagner
>>416601735understand what exactly? outside of the singleplayer missions and campaigns the thing about the "game" aspect is in DCS is that there really isn't one, except what induvial multiplayer servers themselves create, which involves a lot of scripting black magic to make things like capturable objectives and a point system
>>416594881That’s not true I released on your mom last week
>>416600786To my understanding there isnt really anything like that, best i can do is give you this video based around the tomcat, since it has a section dedicated to help explain pusle doppler radar, which is useful in all PD capable aircraft, not just the tomcathttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvbV7wQrqPE&t=1s
>>416600786Trial the F-18 since it's fairly ergonomic and do the training missions from the main menu. Actually doing it is better than any video. Take notes into a text file or something.

Greetin's pard-ners, any budget drivin' set recommendations for trucker sims?I love me some good old truckin' with music at the background before I go to bed at nights after my long day at workin' but I see fellow truckin' enthusiasts with their setups and think to myself I'm only experiencing 10% of the real trucka' experience if you know what I mean.
>>416325929Has great variety of planes and locations set in the cold war, and the F-4 will be loads of fun when you first start. After a while though, every plane will start to feel the same and no handling quirks like the F-100's sabre dance are modeled.
>>416625851How much is a G29 now?
>>416611645>>416613417When will you stop? Please stop being evasive, bongaloids.
How do you deal with control setup? When I just had a joystick it wasn't too bad, but now I've got a throttle with 4 hats, a mini stick, and a few buttons on it. How are you supposed to, one, map everything efficiently based on thumb movement, and two, remember all the fucking bindings? Don't even get me started on shift keys.
Anyone played the F-16 Red Flag campaign? Is it any good?
>>416641096Jump in, map the very fucking basics - axes, trim, weapon release. Fire up a mission, and start to do something you're familiar with, and every time you go "fuck how do I [whatever]" map it to something that makes sense to you. if you don't use one particular aircraft for a while and don't remember what you've bound, open the control assignments and start pressing buttons and it will highlight what they do. Don't feel like you have to map every fucking switch and button.

>>416673237indeed, thanks Mossad
>>416594881Lmao >>416667049
>>416641096Learn only 1 plane. Map only things found on the actual plane's HOTAS. Do not map shit found in the cockpit. Click the cockpit or press your keyboard.
>>416641096I've built muscle memory for binds, so for every airframe I have the same binds for flaps, gear, engine management (roughly), trim, weapons management, etc. Think of each part of your hotas and each system in the plane, try to divide them proportionally.
>>416641096I just switched to HOKAS with pedals, fuck throttles. You can just make virtual axis in vjoy. My TAB and CAPS control my throttle. Tapping it move it in 10% increments holding it down for more than a second goes full/off.Then you have virtually unlimited keybinds on your left hand without dealing with autistic throttle buttons.
>>416601735bf109 might be the least fun plane for a new player to fly. Not because there's a lot to learn but taking off and landing is extremely autustic, and without proper settings in flight its going to constantly pull left so I hope you have actual pedals and have fun with lactic acid buildup in 1 leg after flying for more than 30 minutes.
>>416689529>virtual axis
>>416692282It's a macro that essentially puts a governor on your held down key to only fire every X millisecond and apply a value to a virtual axis. Mine fires every 20ms and increases or decreases the thottle by 10%. It also has a curve applied where basically if its held for 100ms it just jumps straight to 100% or 0% cutting the possible time it would take to go from 0 to 100 by half or vice versa if thats what I wanted. It's barely worse than a good throttle, but gives you all the advantages of a keyboard in your left hand which I prefer. Yes it isn't as realistic, but im not some grandpa playing MSFS I pretty much only play multiplayer.
Still feeling the scrapes on my bum from this one HAHA.Still need some.practice. Hope you're all well KEITH

>>416692745based keith actually flying his planes instead of being a nerd
>>416697414YEP. Gotta put the hours in. Rather crash and learn from my mistakes.Than spend 3 hours just trying to fire up the damn plane in the first place. Have DCS installed. Never booted it up. Prefer the good old bird-to-bird dogfighting of seafires and zeroes!! Feels like I'm in proper control of the plane. Love taking a good prop up in the air and wandering around the skies.. reminds me of a good solid reliable manual transmission car rather than some automatic lemon from sweden. Fucken Saabs. SEE YOU IN THE SKIES. KEITH
>>416689936>>416601735bf-109 is only hard to fly because props are STILL modeled like shit. You can fix the 109 by going into the special menu in the main menu for it, and adjust the rudder trim to a positive value you find comfortable.Before someone cries like a nigga and says bf109 only had tail trim, the rudders could be trimmed by the ground crew so I don't see this as a violation of whatever gay simmer code you might prescribe to. This made the bf109 10x more enjoyable for me.

>>416701145It's also a special menu option so its not something you can change mid flight either (I think)?

https://youtu.be/6J9cX9tuNLcThis thing is going to ruin the meta again, isn't it? Best radar in the game and all the FC3shitters already know how to use it because of how similar it is to the F-15C's
>>416702953F15c will remain the best
>>416703138You realize they don't have the same radar right? C has the APG-63, E has the APG-70. Only advantage C has is no CFTs and even then Razbam might add the option to remove them. And I don't think the E will ever get the AIM-9X but Razbam said eventually it'll get a helmet mounted display.
>>416703138Sorry, the F15c gets smoked by 5th gen at range. Modern weapon systems have unfortunately killed dog fighting. Modern missiles can be fired far off bore axis and are extremely deadly. The F15EX (basically 4.5 gen) is going to be replacing most everything 4th gen in the USAF while 6th gen and drones get brought online.

>>416706016Air combat went to shit after vietnam
>>416713628You got it all wrong, aircombat was so shit in Vietnam(for the US) that select groups of autists spent every waking moment of the rest of their lives making sure it didn't happen again.
>>416713793Air combat in Vietnam was the good kind of shit, while modern air combat is the shit kind of good.
>>416713978>haha yea bro my legs don't work anymore and the info I gave up got my friends killed but when that mig-17 shot me down, fuckin KINO
>>416706023Well, yeah. That's what I do.
>>416713978air combat in Vietnam has literally just RNG on whether or not your sidewinder felt like working that day
>>416706016It's only a matter of time until a real a2a conflict reveals that hard-kill missile countermeasures are much cheaper and more effective than missiles. Same will apply to drones, though it's very funny seeing Russian biplane drones soak up expensive missiles in the interim.
You might not like it but the future of conflict isn't hypersonic drones and laser magic light shows, it's boring but rugged battle management systems capable of fusing the totality of the battlespace.
>>416717353This anon is right - play with ATAK or watch the UAF's fire support app. Clancy called it in the 90s with the lopsided battles in Executive Order and we all thought he was full of shit - knowledge is power and the side who can disseminate it fastest and widest is going to win.

>>416722219propwash is modeled like shit and it fucks over the bf109 specifically. Unless you find out that you need to trim your rudder its almost unplayable. Let alone the absolutely RETARDED ground and takeoff handling. German pilots did not need to rape their brakes to keep straight under 100kmph, and they didnt need to jerk the stick right after leaving the ground under 220kmph or roll their planes over.
>>416727043Have you tried taking off in the F-16 without differential braking?
>>416727043Not only is it quite clear you know nothing about the fundamentals of flight in regards to prop aircraft (the problem you're having trouble with is torque btw, not "prop wash") but it also seems like you don't even own a pair of fucking rudder pedals which you can get for 100 bucks.109 pilots, and all high hp piston fighters had one foot on the pedal to counter torque on take off, you fucking retard. I bet you're slamming the throttle all the way forward without knowing that the throttle is also tied to the governor and only needs to be at half open to boot.Fucking kill yourself
>>416728461He's taking about ailerons.
>>416728461>>416728547im talking about prop wash and the fact bf109 is modeled to incorrectly has virtually no rudder authority under 100kmph so you do the autistic breaking shit
>>416728547He's constantly talking about how he has to cheat and use "rudder trim" because he doesn't actually own a pair of rudders which would solve his aileron problem, which is induced by torque.
>>416728461>posts an image of some faggot to try and give his post some authorityyou're gay
>>416729172
>>416729210rudder trim isnt a cheat moron, that would be aileron trimming a 109, and secondly, I have pedals but guess what? I don't like having to constantly have a 20-30 depression on my right foot to keep the plane stable.
>>4167294711. You don't own rudder pedals, clearly 2. 109 pilots couldn't trim the rudder....that was fixed by the ground crew to be stable for cruising speed.The absolute state of this general.
>>416729172>>416729210The retarded prop wash effect is such that you get the plane yawing, yet the vertical stab, and even rudder and yaw trim don't behave properly at low speeds. Yes, prop wash is also supposed to be what makes the plane yaw left, so you correct with right rudder, but the rudder authority is weak because DCS probably didn't really manage to simulate prop wash, but rather just threw in the associated yawing at certain throttles and airframe speeds.I would bet that the torque which would usually accompany the prop wash is modelled the same artificial way and makes the plane roll right regardless of prop pitch, since I'm sure the dude has his pitch manually set to 12 O clock.
>>416730646roll left*, needing right stick
>>416730336>2. 109 pilots couldn't trim the rudder....that was fixed by the ground crew to be stable for cruising speed.Special menu trimming is fixed upon entering the game, its effectively the same as having a ground crew fix the rudder trim for you. Yes in real life they wouldnt do this, but your plane also wouldn't constantly pull left no matter on the ground, in the air or at speed and altitude.
I don't play oldhead props so idk what you retards are arguing about but calling special trimming a cheat is laughable.
>>416731754>>416730646>>416729172I haven't flown the 109 in months, but I did this just to show how fucking easy it is to take off when you own the proper HARDWARE.1. Notice where the throttle is, notice how close it is to me and not slammed forward2. Notice the ATA and RPM gauges, take note3. Notice how little, if any I'm moving the stick, hardly at all.4. Look at the rudder workWhen you own a pair of rudder pedals, you take off, using... the rudder pedals. I didnt move the stick to correct anything here. It's all throttle and rudder.Stop complaining that there's something wrong with the game when you dont even own the fucking equipment to play it.
>>416732441Man il-2 looks so fucking nice and comfy
>>416732441Now this is a shoddy 109 takeoff.

>>416713978Air combat in Vietnam was untrained in dogfighting Phantom pilots getting dunked on by Frescos and Farmers, while their Sidewinders either worked or didn't. Shit got so bad that it lead to the creation of Top Gun. The immediate solution of course was better storage and handling for Sidewinders, who's electronics were originally heavily abused by the SEA jungle conditions.
>>416742880>dunked onHave you ever read a single book about the air war in Vietnam, at all?the NVA airfroce got their teethe kicked in. The majority of US air losses were from SAMs. Russia made a similar program to Top Gun after the war to focuse on close in combat tactics because so many of their own aircraft were lost to US WW2 and Korean war vets resorting to basic BFM tactics to shoot down their MiGs

>>416758565That's only in the Playstation 4 version, and even then you can't play the main campaign missions with VR, there are only a few VR missions available.
>>416758050>hardcore enough for a motion rigNot sure whats hardcore about buying a motion rig. The only hardcore dedicated sim players are the ones building one to one sim pits.

Why is sim shit so expensive? A basic plastic joystick, no base, is like 200 bucks.

Why are all the flight sim addon developers such amateur retards? They price their addons like AAA games for what are essentially early alpha quality products that most of them stop developing the moment they release. I can't think of a single MSFS plane that is even close to being finished or ever will be. And then you have really egregious shit like FSTraffic and GSX which are so buggy and unusable that they're not even functional at the most basic level for pretty much 100% of users. You can tell they literally haven't spent a minute testing or debugging any of this shit even by the people writing the code itself. It's like the entire flight sim addon industry is full of incompetent scammers trying to get rich quick with the least amount of work possible.
>>416763249>>416764086For the amount of money it costs to build this you could get a CPL and have a job working as a pilot.
>>416780359aren't you talking about DCS?
>>416781426I've never played DCS but I'm not surprised if it's the same thing there.
>>416781563The difference is that for DCS third party devs need a contract to even access the SDK, and the main developer forces them to finish their shit. So, 3-4 years after early access launch most aircraft are actually finished and in a good shape.
>get new GPU>rock solid 60 fps in DCS even at tree top level with most settings cranked to max>whereas before I'd be lucky to get 25 fps with most settings on mediumOh godOh my godThis is incredible
>>416786341>what is the Gazelle, MiG-21, HawkED keeps changing the code so much some devs never fix/update their modules because they move on to other projects.
>>416788824MiG-21 isn't in such a bad shape, and it's not unfinished just a bit bugged.Gazelle main dev had cancer for like 2 years, but they resumed development already.
>>416787454What's the GPU?
>>416789061Rx 6700 XT, coming from an R9 380XI've only testedin solo flights so far though
>>416790437Huh, I actually have an RX 6600 XT.
>>416779194How's the variety in missions? I need training on the F16, having a hard time getting to know the tgp, wanna drop Adams and gbu12s.
>>416791881*Jdams goddamn chunk phoneDtc cartridges will save this module.
You guys should check out Helicopter Gunship DEX if you like EECH or Gunship 2000. It's made being made by only one guy, but it plays just fine and shows some promise. And the dev is quick to provide updates.https://store.steampowered.com/app/2012140/Helicopter_Gunship_DEX/
>>416798152how are the controls?
>>416781353There are actual pilots that build things like that. Or people that have jobs that pay as much and also have a CPL but like the sim hobby.
>>416798152>gib me monies for my sham indie game that's not even 1% complete and is literal vaporwareNo
>>416803328It's actually okay. It's on the simcade side (there's no trimmer for instance), but there's still a quite a bit of instability as expected of a heli. I mean, you could play the game just fine on a gamepad (like Gunship2k) so it's not DCS, but if you don't know anything about helicopters you're going to have some issues at first.>>416805138Then play EECH again. Not like that's an issue.
>>416779546Yeah, the nock off mostertech ones on amazon are just as good. There are also ones like foxmounts if you really don't want to DIY.
>>416787454>think about getting an upgrade for years>slowly stop playing dcs because its not fun and way too overpricedfuck. Are the gpu prices back to normal yet?
>>416811208Well they're back to MSRP but the thing is Nvidia's the one doing the scalping nowCPU prices are pretty good though, and those affect DCS more anyway
>>416811687Nnvidia is getting what they disserved with the 4000's not selling off the shelves.
>>416811208Embrace the chaos and get an Intel ARC750. They're supposedly comparable to an RTX3070ti in components and benchmarks for nearly half the price, and much closer to their MSRP than red or green cards.Or consider a Radeon, they're fine if you're not planning to do 4k, since 4k is a disadvantage in DCS anyway.
>>416812867Absolutely the fuck do NOT do that, the Intel GPU's are absolutely garbage for old games because Intel never made GPU drivers until now, part of DCS's code is from fucking 1997, it'll run like absolute shit on an Intel card
>>416812867>Intel ARC750. >They're supposedly comparable to an RTX3070tilmaoArc 770 which is the highest tier Intel cpu is about on par with a 3060 (non Ti), the 750 is trash tierPlus Intel gpus are infamous for terrible performance in dx9 and dx11 games, althoigh they are supposedly getting better with driver updates
>part of DCS's code is from fucking 1997,Oh shit I don't have my 3dfx Voodoo 2 card driver CD on hand maybe that's why I've been getting framerate dropsI don't think you understand what drivers are. Go back to sleep.
>>416813095I feel with an AESA radar, a small IRST, new turbofans, glass cockpit, 9X/IRIS-T and AMRAAM/Meteor the F-5 airframe can still slap.
>>416814156ED was founded in 1991, they probably got working on Su-27 Flanker right away. Who knows, DCS might still contain a line of literal Soviet code.
>>416814156just use clamp dawg
>>416814289so basically a typhoon then?
>>416814289AESA or not the F-5 can only hold a tiny radar in its nose, it's a dead end design
>>416818927Its very comfy though
>>416818927>want to do wholesome search and rescue>get in huey>go on enigma>figure out how to find downed pilots>fly seemingly forever at max speed, like 100kts>spot downed pilot>he must be so happy>he fires flares>slow down>vortex ring >low altitude >deadWhy the fuck is a helicoptor harder to land than a plane? Are all helicopters like this? Is the huey particularly hard or am I just having skill issues?
>>416814289Oh you want an updated F-5?Okay... Here you go
>>416811208>Are the gpu prices back to normal yet?I got my 6700XT for 420€ which is a very good price around here all things consideredYou gotta keep an eye out for good deals
>>416791881Literally only done the first mission so far- which is just dropping two GBU-12s on a lightly defended EWR. But it comes with a fuck tin of kneeboard pages delineating push times, timings on other aircraft in the package, etc, the atmosphere is pretty good
>>416814597>tfw we’ve all unwittingly been contributing CPU hours to a Soviet botnet running their early warning system
>>416828352>2 engines>expensive>high payloadare you for real?
>>416828352>>416833075ahem
>>416833075the F-5 has two engines tooand F-18 was the low cost option in the high/low doctrine together with the F-14 and later the F-35
>>416834023>the F-5 has two engines toohey, take this boof and forget what I said
>>416818927People said the same for the Harrier but then the Sea Harrier FA.2 dropped it had an amazing look down shoot down PD radar and AMRAAMs in the 90s. It also had a multirole day/night capability with a great blind bombing/INS system (although even the OG Sea Harrier could do nighttime radar/INS bombing). The only limiting factor was short stubby legs like the F-5 and F-8 >>416744598If I get dubs any anon ITT who isn't a cute twink like me or doesn't want a twink to ride their face like its a Martin-Baker Mk 5 (or worship their cute boi feet) dies in their sleep and also Razbam actually develops the Sea Harrier FRS1 instead of it being vapourware
>>416833075I imagine trying to get Meteor on an F-5 would be like trying to install an RTX4090 card on an Atari 2600
only now that I noticed that the j-8 looks extremely similar to the su-15

>>416828030shoulda trained years in the mi-8 before you ever dared flying gods helicopter
>>416831761>>416791881Just did Mission #2 and have to do some shit outside but I'll post this from #3 - Mission #3 is a GBU-10 strike against an airfield HQ. Accompanying strike aircraft are hitting munitions storage, and a FOB, there's two flights of F/A-18s as SEAD and a flight of F-15s as OCA. You can follow the timings as autisticly as you like or blast through them like it doesn't matter, the missions are set to be fairly flexible to the player's whims. Honestly worth the ten bucks to see how someone's done a pretty polished job of setting up missions that feel like you're part of a package instead of going for a scenic flight that has a couple waypoints for bomb dropping.
how's the BMS F-15C?
>>416828030Skill issue. Assume every control input will lag and pull in collective early. Also, technically you'd be settling under powered, not in VRS. Apparently DCS doesn't model either correctly.
>>416821000true
How are PvP servers set up in DCS? I'm trying to think of what modules to buy.So I assume there is at least WW2 servers for props, but what about for early jets without missles. And what about top end fighters?
>>416780359flight sims are like gacha games for boomers, paypigs with like multi thousand dollar setups that can afford to wipe their ass with 50 dollars for a plane make up the majority of the playerbase.
>>416732441Rudder pedals without a proper sim pit are uncomfortable.
>>416868317HAH you're telling me. Got those Thrustmaster TFRPs or whatever the nomenclature is.Darryl calls em ball crushers.

>>416871157The DCS manuals are unironically better written than any real manual for all the aircraft. Whoever writes them should get a raise desu senpai.
>>416871157Couldn't tell you sorry mate. Never got into that stuff myself.Who knows, maybe Haynes has one on the Spitfire or something HAH. Good hunting anyway KEITH

Does anyone here use a delanclip for head tracking?, are they really as decent as everyone says they are?. I'm thinking of picking one up once the bongs unfuck their mail service.
>>416875935buy the good shit or just use free face tracking desu.
>>416857257Incomplete, don't bother with it until it's officially "released".
>>416875935I tried one years back, couldn't get on with it. I really wish I could just use a VR tracking puck. It's easy, it works, I could just tape it to the top of my headphones. But nobody seems interested on using "VR" gimmicks for regular gaming.
>>416875986IR head tracking is the "good shit". You must be one of those retards who bought an overpriced TrackIR.>>416875935I was going to say that I'd get the TrackHat sensor, which has a really high refresh rate, FOV and built-in visible light filter, but it seems that they discontinued it. They seem to favor a face tracking solution now. No idea how it performs and I doubt that it's better than IR LED tracking.https://www.trackhat.org/sensorv2
>>416877187Shit, it doesn't look that bad.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFmr55Kev7UThe upside is that you don't need cables and to strap things on your head. It seems kind of expensive right now though. I'd wait a few months to see more videos of it in action and how other people perceive the responsiveness and accuracy.
>>416871452They're good considering the planes they concern are fictional in plenty of their parameters.Real manuals are legally skewed, especially for American planes. What they recommend will get you killed but will increase the service life of the airframe and engine.
>>416877452These kinds of things are always bullshit with perfect lighting and shit. This guy has his hair slicked back to create more of a surface, he's not wearing glasses or headphones that could fuck up the tracking.
>>416875935I have a delanclip pro and a PS3 eye. Works well, but you need to consider that the clip attaches to your headphones. My old headphones had a rounded face and so were not suitable. Really only use the IR for 1946, I use a pico4 otherwise.
Is there like some conspiracy to not sell any mid to high end flight sim equipment on amazon or something? Everything is overseas and costs almost 100 dollars for shipping, taxes, and """handling""".
>>416878103
>>416878558Has to do with the death of simcades. The middle ground now, i.e., war thunder RB, actually punishes the use of sticks in favour of the mouse aim.So you're left with arcade hotas like the tflight for ac7, or luxury goods made for sim elitists like DCS / il2. The closest to a mid ground market for flight sim gear is elite dangerous lmao, with dual t16000 hosas.
>>416871157You can find a bunch of manuals and other stuff here.https://ww2aircraft.net/forum/topics/other-mechanical-systems-tech.64/
but yeah, the main downside is that you need a pretty good lighting, so you can forget about night flighting with the lights off, also it takes more cpu time to process the input and introduces more lag
>>416879009Run it on one of your 7 other cores.
>>416878558the main reason is that youd have to have your equipment shipped to local amazon warehouses to enable prime shipping. and why pay for that when customers will happily pay for shipping from your warehouse in china? not to mention, mid to high end producers of anything are not on amazon since there you have to compete with chink dogshit peddler brands named something like LHGQWY or TOREMA and those seem to have better SEO on amazon's search.
>>416878558https://www.amazon.com/VelocityOne-Flightstick-Simulation-Controller-Gaming-Console/dp/B0BHTPP71M/This just came out, and its probably the best stick you can get for under 300 dollars. Looking forward to their throttle unit.
>>416877187>>416877452Can't you just get this for free using a webcam or even your phone's camera with the neuralnet tracker thing in opentrack?I guess it's a bit better, less jittery from what I've seen on the videos, but I don't know if it's a good enough upgrade to warrant spending 120+ bucks on it.
>>416879219Oh man that looks horrifying, I'd rather spend a bit more and get a VKB stick or something.
>>416879386I use face tracking, you just need a 60fps webcam, and you room has to at least be dimly lit otherwise you'll lose your tracking if you look down into the cockpit because the screen will go black.Other than that after you set up the config and curves I haven't had any issues.
>>416879482vkb sticks are 300 dollars, and this one has a lot of cool stuff that old sticks dont have. The scroll wheel on the stick is really neat imo. Might be something cool you can with the trackpad, and if you dont like using a throttle this is actually really good for hokas w/ pedals.
>>416879482Both that and the t16000 sticks are okay. You can also go oldhead and get an old used ch products or Thrustmaster stick. An x65f sold for 150usd the other day.
>>416879713t16000 is a boomer msfs stick, its garbage for dcs, id rather use logitec extreme.
>>416875935I've literally just ordered one because I'm using Track IR again instead of VR for a while. Hasn't arrived yet but shipped today.
>>416879913Ok retard
>>416879602In my country it's actually about 215 euros for a VKB EVO stick, shipping included, which is very expensive but it's less than 300 dollars, as for the VelocityOne stick I've looked it up and they straight up don't even sell in my country, none of the online stores have it, they only have the yoke with the throttle module, which is 350+ euros.The throttle module does look pretty good though, they should make it a standalone product.
>>416879913>finally get decent enough to PvP>Barely any servers>dead servers>BIG RED admin message saying dont talk about ukraine on every server>90% of gameplay is just flying around like a boomerWhen are we gonna get a pvp flight sim without all the autistic larper shit but with the hardcore combat aspects?
>>416880072Wait nevermind, I actually found it on amazon, it's weird though since it doesn't show up on the search results, it only show up if you go on the store page of the yoke and then selec the stick option. It's 125 euros which is actually pretty nice, these things are usually more expensive here compared to the prices in american stores, so it's a nice surprise to see that's not the case here.
>>416880191Never. 99% of the simboomer market is men in their 50s with dogshit motor control, all they want to do is larp as fighter pilots.
>>416880191It's called il2. If you want modern shit you can fling bvr at ai.
>>416880279It's cheap bc turtle beach is a big company that has an established R&D department and doesn't have any old stock still selling for more than it cost when it released. They basically just threw they dick on the table and fucked over every single budget flight stick on the market. No one is going to recommend anyone to buy anything else but that stick or the Logitec 3d pro.
>>416880191Maybe when VR becomes better and cheaper>>416880347This is basically the reason why you wont see a competitive dogfighting sim game without the bullshit attached.
>>416880191Aren't there IL2 servers with airspawns and small maps so that you can get to fighting as soon as possible?>inb4 but I don't like props
>>416880436about time someone did something about the sitaution for the past 5? years of jews selling 10+ year old sticks for full price.
I thought dcs was jewish wtf is this?
>>416881193I mean each of the Battle of X packs contains several planes and a new map, so it's not that bad of a deal in my opinion, plus they discount them pretty heavily during sales.
>>416881193If all you care about is multiplayer you just buy the pack with the plane(s) you want to fly and you have access to every multiplayer server regardless of what map they are running but you can only use the planes you bought. I think?
>>416881193If you're a cheap cunt get BoBp and the la5/collectors g6.
>>416881501Also fyi each battle is standalone but not if you buy on steam. Then you need BoS first.
>>416880660The whole stick market is an absolute joke.I'm using 20 year old gear, because it was cheap. Everything else is bought by boomers with no common sense or understanding that it doesn't actually cost 200 dollars to mold a plastic stick and stick a few hat switches in it.The market is never going to change though, it's too niche and there are no end of people willing to pay 500 bucks for a joystick base that costs 20 bucks to make.
>>416878103According to the website, it works with glasses as well.>>416879386>>416879506The advantage of the product linked up there is that it comes with IR illumination and a visible light filter. Basically even in "pitch darkness", it illuminates your face enough for the camera to recognize it. That's why it looks "black and white" in the video feed. I guess you can also build it yourself with some IR lights attached to your camera and putting one of the usual IR filters on it. I guess you pay for convenience there.
>>416881193>wtf is this?>includes 1946 in his shitfitIt's evidence of a retard.
>>416881732I just bought three hundred dollar pedals lmao
>>416882224I have a pair of cheap CH pedals I don't use because of the retarded detent. There's a mod to make them better but I haven't bothered looking for the replacement springs.
>>416881193https://il2sturmovik.fandom.com/wiki/Aircraftuse this to find what to buy.
>>416881193Normandy is the best map, and it also includes the best planes for multiplayer.
>>416882431That's about 4 years out of date
>>416881193Battle of stalingrad is the base game, its 85% off like every month. The rest of that is DLC. The devs are like warthunder and do sales all the time were shit is 50-85% off so you are retarded to buy any of it not on sale.
>>416881193Its a dead game with 10x less players than DCShttps://steamcharts.com/app/307960
>>416880191>BIG RED admin message saying dont talk about ukraine on every servermay i see this message?
>>416883526warthunder killed every game in the genre
>>416880191>>416880578You're idiots. You want airquake. You say "sim", but you don't want the simulation aspect of it. For all it's worth, you retards could be served a toned down Ace Combat and you'd eat it up, as long as you can air-spawn and do your epic, cinematic dogfights which last 30 seconds each. Then repeat that for an hour.
>>416883970keep gatekeeping these /aceg/trannies, king
>>416883970This is like crying about rolling starts in driving games. The sim part is the way the vehicle handles. It's not about how well you can larp.
>>416883970The whole purpose of these aircraft is combat, and there's no end to DCS / msfs takeoff, startup, landing autism. BFM is fun you little faggot.
>>416880191>When are we gonna get a pvp flight sim without all the autistic larper shit but with the hardcore combat aspects?Warthunder, but instead of doing what would make sense and queing for air sim. You que for ground sim and just fly planes. If you can get over the shitty ufo flying model its basically what you are asking for.
>>416884618>>416884849larping procedures is part of the simulation of flying the aircraft you casual. fuck off back to war thunder if you want constant BFM
>>416883526Quite a lot of players don't play via steam.
>>416884618No, the simulation part applies to the whole package. Pilots don't assume control of their airplanes mid-air, 5 miles from their opponent. Stop deluding yourself. Admit that you're a poser, airquake retard and then you'll be able to be guided towards an appropriate game. Help people help you.Symptoms of airquakeness:>complaining about 99% of flight simulation>caring only about the 1%, i.e. dogfighting (which if you ever get involved in modern airplanes, means you failed)>complaining about "balance" (see >>416702953)>trying to assign stats to airplanes and min-maxing certain aspectsThere are more, I shall write it down as I expand upon the newly defined sickness that is airquakism. Stay tuned, airquaker (if your attention span allows it).
>>416884849Your simpleton mined can only understand caveman "BFM". Your simpleton mind wouldn't be able to comprehend and appreciate the finesse of BVR in an intricate, overwhelming modern environment. I understand, it can't be captured in an epic 1 minute cinematic, so it's hard for you to appreciate.
>>416884981Naw, only autistic retards like to larp. This is why games like squad are mogging ARMA now.
>>416884942Larp away in peace, just shut the fuck up about people doing things that don't concern you. Inflexible autistic people like you kill games by hyperfixating on one aspect of gameplay.
>>416884942warthunder even in realistic (not even their sim mode) has too much downtime flying and climbing.Flying for 5-8 minutes just to climb every single match is boring as fuck. At least in sims its interesting, but in warthunder its just fucking lame. So no we can't just play warthunder it has the same exact fucking problem, and their sim mode is even worse.
>>416885090>>416884981>>416884942dcstrannies on suicide watch
>>416885229>larpYou don't even know what that word means, so don't bother talking about anything. Alt-Tab back into your DCS airquake server casual.
>>416885381Buy IL2 BOS and get on the Berloga server, you spawn in the air and the enemy field is 10km away, you'll get into combat in no time.
>>416885236i do usually "larp" away in peace, but when i see retard opinions made by retards trying to make this genre more casual to fit their retard tastes, i feel obliged to respond>>416885381>downtime flying and climbing.my zoomie friend, i understand that this "downtime" really tests the limits of your ADHD medication, but flying the aircraft while things arent exploding is not downtime.
>>416884981Why do you even need combat in your flight simming, then? I'm sure you can have a lot more fun plotting routes over the pacific and talking to your imaginary passengers. All the scary guns just get in the way of you wishing that you got a pilot license 20 years ago.
>>416885436I dont pvp in dcs, theres no skill slinging missles at each other from miles away.
>>416885090Not him but BVR is the worst shit ever, genuinely less fun than straight up just flying around and doing touch and gos.
>>416884618You aren't smart enough to figure out the planes, we get it.
>>416885641>flying the aircraft while things arent exploding is not downtime.Of course it is. It's trivial. I'm sorry you seem to struggle a lot with really complex things like landing and taking off, but for everyone else, these things are easy.
>>416885641It is when what you do is the same EVERY SINGLE TIME. Had an arguement about this in other games not even related to flight sims, but including downtime where there is nothing strategic going on or it always plays out the same is bad game design.In ARB warthunder you literally always just sideclimb there is no reason to do anything else, and there is no tactical advantage to doing anything else. Starting everyone off at altitude 1-2 mins from engagement would change nothing for a group of skilled players but save them around 15 minutes of their life per hour spent playing the game.
>>416885642>wishing that you got a pilot license 20 years ago.Not that other anon but...>checks logbookI passed my flight test in 2003. Fuck I'm getting old.
>>416885641>trying to make this genre more casualYou can use your cockpit simulator in peace now and forever. It's not like it's a group activity.
Anons who play DCS in VR, what are your specs? Wondering if my new 6700XT could handle it
>>41688632010600kTitan xpI can't comment on how AMD handles VR in DCS
>>416885642explain the difference between skate and short skate without using a search engine. if you can't you're a casual.>>416885753departures and approaches are only trivial if you fly unrealistically. if you use charts like pic related flying them suddenly becomes something you have to prepare for, and by extension much more enjoyable. but of course you need to get to your BFM immediately so you'd be too much of a casual to even bother.>>416885895it actually is a group activity but you probably wouldnt know that since people of your caliber only fly out single-ship on airquake servers
>>416886590We get it you can't stand not being the most autistic dude in the room. Well I'm autistic about BFM. >it actually is a group activityOh yeah, you and who else?
>>416886590Why do all that shit, just accelerate until you gain enough speed and then pull up, it's that easy.
>>416886806if you're not flying with friends, why are you flying?the skill is in effective communication and tactics
>>416886590>departures and approaches are only trivial if you fly unrealistically. if you use charts like pic related flying them suddenly becomes something you have to prepare for, and by extension much more enjoyable.Hahaha holy shit get a fucking instrument rating then dipshit! Or, better still, enjoy what you enjoy without being a cunt to others who are enjoying what they enjoy, unless they're cunts first. If you want to brief yourself, say radio calls out loud as you taxi and pull out an approach plate at the end of your sortie, fucking have at it. If someone else wants to air start, or autostart, or take off from the taxiway in their single player missions, who the utter fuck are you to gate keep it?
>>416887029>if you're not flying with friends, why are you flying?People like you is why we don't have good dynamic campaigns anymore.
>>416887053filtered, casualniggers shitting up simg because they got banned from reddit for complaining at the devs for not rebalancing the missiles in redfors favour since 2.5
>>416887029I am, are you? What group is doing this? I am the one doubting that *you* are flying with friends, considering your frenzied rage at anything but procedures. It's surprising that you didn't get that, considering you must have some reading comprehension for your antics.
>>416887053>who the utter fuck are you to gate keep it?i am an autist that will autistically gatekeep his hobby to make sure it doesnt become casualised slop.>>416886806the virtual wing that i fly and ATC at.>>416887240that's actually not me.
>>416887189i fly exclusively with frens, exclusively in bms :)niggerpaypigs like you are the reason we don't have dynamic campaigns anymore
>>416887280>ATCit all makes sense now, carry on complaining about BFMchads
>>416887425>single ship>"meta plane">AB until merge>die>do it again"yeah i play dcs world"
>>416887425i have 0 doubt that id smoke you in a merge guns 1v1. then i'd call a knock it off and fly to base while applying correct aviation procedures.
>>416887280>>416887207>t. prime candidate for passing a type rating but failing a line check
>>416887519>>416887556Actually I play il2 now
>>416886590Wait, you think following a basic as fuck flight route somehow makes takeoff more compelling? This is the pointless busywork civilian pilots have to do while they sit around waiting on the fucking runway, they go "oh I'm taking off from 19L? Alright, I'll sit in queue for 10 minutes, time to check my heading". Then they take off, point the nose at point X, wait a bit, point it at Y, man I'm having so much fun this is so much better than just saying "fuck you" to ATC and making a bee-line for Z, my destination.
>>416887628ok casual
Youse jokers having a spat in this forum reminds me of my ex HA.. joking aside.. we all like planes folks, we can agree to disagree on how long it takes to get to a dogfight.. realism. arcade. that sort of stuff.The long and short of it is we're all a bunch of rough and tumble leathernecks whether we're in props or jets (YUCK HAHA) you have to just appreciate the unifying aspect of taking a fast, reliable bird up in the air, maybe getting a good burst on a hun or two, making it back to base under AA fire.. a wing barely holding onto the fuselage.. thats the stuff!!
