>>507037938Farming Sim 25 seems to have positive reviews but they always seem to take stuff out and then sell it back as DLC
>>507038063I haven't heard 25 is a significant improvement so I'm still playing 22, still never bought any DLC for it either All I want to do is sit on my porch and have my machines go around working, but AI isn't getting better

I never really bothered much with third party aircraft in Flight Sim 2020. I'm definitely not going to start buying aircraft in another game after spending a small fortune on DCS.What are some of the best aircraft or third party developers that are pirateable on simplaza? I know FS2020 has a lot of shovelware, so I'm a bit clueless about what's worth downloading.
>>507040340captain sim is garbage, I think simheaven also not so good

>>507051030Don't say that you'll anger him
>>507045317Pretty much anything that's not a huge airliner.From ultralights to Cessna style GA aircraft to small private jets and even helicopters.

The next best bet for the 346 is probably Austria as there were talks about a joint procurement with our own AM.watch us lose that one as well

Question related to Euro Truck Simulator 2. Is there any reliable website to download paid mods?I wanted to get this onehttps://ventyres.gumroad.com/l/hgd_magirus?layout=profileI was going to pay for it but they don't allow paypal and I've seem a lot of reviews saying the website is shaddy when it comes to payments, is there any alternative?
>>507052860they're special>>507059521nice
Ok so FS2024 is shit then?
>>507062183It had an awful launch and is basically in beta currently, once the bugs get ironed out it'll be a good improvement over 2020. If you're thinking of getting it I would say to give it a few months and stick with 2020 for now.
>>507061371>paid mods for ETSNo, just no. Don't start, don't continue, just don't. Leave paid mods to planefriends.That said, have you already checked the Steam workshop mods if you can't build what you want from there? This thing looks just like some random shit you could get anywere.
>>507061371For some reason truck sim hasn't developed the third party support that flightsims have, I would be wary of any paid ETS2 mod, it's probably not worth it.
>>507051438Just checked out the A2A Comanche. It's impressive how much detail went into it with customizable avionics, interactive walkaround and so on.I guess I'm now looking for any aircraft where the developers put in a lot of extra features and detail.
>>507064273Aren't we all
>>507052074BMS still doesn't even have dynamic physics, lmao
>>507052074That doesn't look better than DCS though?
>>507069408I believe BMS has a good dynamic campaign which is why people play it
>>507069550Okay but that post was talking about graphics
>>507069768If you look closely you can see the dynamic campaign

>>507127260
im trying to get into dcs but i keep crashing the viggen just by turning too hard while going mach speed. wtf is going on? stalls i could get, but i just straight up explode.
>>507140572>i keep crashing the viggen just by turning too hard while going mach speed.Well, don't do that then. The Viggen is designed to push through the thick lower atmosphere faster than any other jet, which means it has a big fuckhuge heavy engine supported by wings that are getting a shitload of control authority from said thick atmosphere. Think of it like trying to drop the clutch for a burnout in a 2000hp monster truck, something is gonna break.I'd say pick up the M2000 if you want something similar but more nimble, but really just about any other jet besides the F-5 you will have a hard time ripping the wings off of.
>>507127260i swear ive seen this map before!is it the same map as in previous version?
>>507140572Yes, that's realistic. Yanking the stick at high speed can very well lead to catastrophic structural failure, and that's not just the Viggen but most fighter aircraft.
>>507168465it's an annual franchise with the year in the name what do you think?

>>507176459Thank you, I started on the hardest difficulty and paid for this little complex in the middle first, went in to massive debt at the beginning and grinded for cash in some of the least efficient ways to begin with
>>507176821hah, did the same myself!paid off my debt and made my first million on eggs - felt almost as cheating at some pointloading egg pallets in the trailer was a real chore, but this way i could accumulate the eggs, and sell them all at once for the highest pricegood luck with your farm anon! what are you aiming for in the long run?
>>507177948Yea turning one of my fields in to Barley and using that to feed a large chicken coop is what turned the tide on my game. I waited until I had a full trailer so I was only selling eggs every other year but those cash injections are what made the loan seem not so overwhelming. Made the mistake of putting my coop on not-level ground so my forklift will get stuck on the uneven ground if I don't pick up the pallets in a specific way
>>507178421>using that to feed a large chicken coop>selling eggs every other yearsounds about right anon!and yes, dealing with loaders and junky physics when stacking pallets, made me move on to the pigs - fewer monotonous tasks, but requires expensive equipment to produce root cropswhat tractor are you aiming to buy next?
>>507180986No idea what my long term goals are or my next purchase is, going through the motions now until I have a couple hundred thousand. Probably grab some of the small plots near the center to convert to work space or production mills
>>507086456check the EFB for recommended approach speedI try to be just below it. If I'm too fast, I try to do the forward slip to lose speed. Usually works.You can always go around and try again.

>>507215748Do things work any better if you turn off gyro drift in MSFS settings while leaving gyro drift on in the Comanche's tablet?
>>507220508No, just tried it. Even with those settings, gyro drift still rotates your aircraft ownship icon on the GPS display and the VOR needle shows "on course" while pointing to the wrong direction.

>>507215748It's so fucking obvious the MSFS devs don't know or care anything about flying. Just the basic nature of the bugs tells you none of them even tried any of the planes in flight before shipping.
whoops
>>507227414They know their playerbase. 99% of them fly the Garminslop with arcade screen overlays, and analogue instruments and radio nav are a waste of development time
>>507228035Its extremely annoying. I end up begrudgingly opting for the shoehorned GNS 4/530 all the time because planning a flight by radio nav only is an absolute chore.
>>507215748using the same internal model for every plane is a wierd decisionwhy isn't it just a standardized interface for communicating between the plane and the rest of the sim, with the internals entirely left up to the planes code?
>>507233673It's weird how it's almost impossible to plan a VOR route ingame, the game doesn't have the information available in the world map UI.But there are some good third party tools for it like Little NavMap that make it easy.

>>507324580>the experience of flyingyou mean looking outside the window of an airplane shaped 3d object... at your house?
>>507325004Flying for the sake of flying.Not because you want to play with the ultra realistic built-in-test for the targeting pod.Not because you want to get high score on your airquake multiplayer server.Just the experience of being in the air and exploring the world from above.Sometimes I just want to check out a city from above or fly into the mountains and enjoy the sights.90% of the time I play on airquake servers in DCS though lol.

for flight sims how do you click stuff in the cockpit usually. do you headtrack to where a button is and use your mouse to select, or just hotkey everything? what's optimal?
>>507356998>do you headtrack to where a button is and use your mouse to selectI'm using VR but same thing as this I guessI like interacting with the actual cockpit, knowing where things are, so I don't bind all that much to external controls, just things I need to use quickly or repeatedly
>>507358861im not using vr at the moment. i only plan to really mess with opentracker and a webcam for headtracking, and then maybe get a cheap leap motion for hand tracking, but i've heard it's finnicky.if you use the mouse, does that mean you are left handed with your hotas, or are they both on the same side and you just let go of it?
>>507359134>left handed with your hotasYeah, left-handed stick
>>507361710yeah that sounds like the best approach right now. left stick, right mouse, and trackir. i think i'll be more than set with that. thanks for the clarification.
>>507356998i take my right hand off my right handed joystick, move it to my mouse, click what i have to click, then put my right hand back on my right handed joysticki use a variety of methods to control my view to make the control visible, trackIR, POV hat, mouse pan my view, pop-up 2d panels, keyboard shortcuts, etc...
>>507362815Careful, that poster is a retard. Go center stick with the mouse on the right of the stick. Then you can fly like a normal non-shiteater with your right hand, and switch to your left hand on the stick when you need to use the mouse with your right hand.
>>507365587it's funny you say that, i was planning to center stick but still use it left handed because i assumed that in a dogfight i'd have to be switching weapon/radar switches all over the place while flying. i'll go right side then.
>>507356998I've gotten good at camera control with the mouse, and I leave everything to a clickspot except throttle/(props/mix)/spoilers/flaps/gear/lights

>>507326090kinda funny considering 90% of DCS players can't even land
So I've figured out what's wrong with Elite. The game fundamentally betrays its own premise and is genuinely a disappointment beyond the initial experience.
>>507419503>wh-what about DCS players, h-huh?!
>>507411191>it'll work in many more games*for a few months when it starts to wobble and becomes looser than your mom's pussy because you bought Logitech quality
>>507427826looks like i struck a nerve
I just had a revelation.The last few years I went into the same cycle several times. I wanted to do some fun flying and sightseeing, so I downloaded FS2020, played it for a day or two, got frustrated with the fight model and also the horrible photogammetry trees and ugly buildings, and lack of and stuff to do and immediately went back to DCS to play some airquake. Now when flying over the Marianas in my Huey I just realized that DCS is actually better than FS2020 for sightseeing. Sure not the entire world is in it, but at least that is, it looks much better near the ground it's not even a comparison. I think I'm going to use DCS as my "civilian"/cargo flight simulator too. The helos already have cargo loading, and I guess I'll just have to roleplay with the aircraft.That said, I'm eyeing the South Atlantic and the Kola maps. Unfortunately there is no trial. Anyone bought them? Do they have similar levels of eye candy as Syria and Marianas, so I can go on a joyride in them? Most importantly, are cities detailed with a few uniquely modeled buildings that you can use and landmarks and explore?
>>507419503I can land perfectly fine, I just don't ask for permission first or wait around in a pattern like some sort of simulated cuckold.Your taxiway, my runway.
>>507439475>I can't properly land, but I like to pretend I do.Sure thing champ.
>>507435675>Now when flying over the Marianas in my Huey I just realized that DCS is actually better than FS2020 for sightseeing. Sure not the entire world is in it, but at least that is, it looks much better near the ground it's not even a comparison. This is the same conclusion I came to a year ago. DCA is just a more consistent experience at low level than MSFS.Also, South Atlantic is shit untill it gets a major rework, Kola is "ok" but not on the same level as Syria, while absolutely nothing compares to Marianas.
>>507439778Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing, just like any ground unit on the side of ZOG is a legitimate kill.

Would UEBS or UEBS 2 (Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator) be something applicable to this thread?If not, where would it go? It doesn't have a general of it's own which actually kinda surprised me. I have no idea where the bulk of it's community resides.
>>507462884>If not, where would it go?>>>www.youtube.com
>>507463602I don't think youtube is really a forum/community website. More of a "look what I did" thing. You don't ask questions and browse topics and discuss stuff there, and that's kind of what I'm looking for.
>>507462884whats stopping you from just posting your own uebs general and populating it with roman girls and battle webms.
>>507462884OP specified vehicle simulation games, and I'd say UEBS is a "simulator" in the same way goat simulator is one, thus strictly excluded from the general.
>>507466649>>507466649>whats stopping you from just posting your own uebs generalI thought of that but didn't know if it would have enough traffic to not just clog up the board>>populating it with roman girls and battle webmsI only recently started messing around with it so I don't really have anything to post yet. My GPU only has 4 GB or vram so I can't do anything terribly outrageous yet, but that doesn't stop me from doing smaller things. My limit as far as deploying troops (while maintaining a playable frame rate) seems to be about 1,000,000 give or take. 5,000,000 runs but painfully slow. And some/most maps wont load at all if I turn off the setting that reduces memory usage by only loading the regions of the map where units are actually placed (ie, you can't fly anywhere you want, just around the area you start out in)I have seen a claim that the game runs 100% on the GPU but that seems very unlikely, both because there's always stuff that only a CPU can do and because I see non-zero CPU usage, plus it uses a pretty large chunk of system RAM depending on the settings. The weird thing is even if it's using 7 GB of system ram (I have 16) and all 4 GB pf vram, it seems like it only ever uses 200-300 MB of "shared" GPU memory, which as I understand is just system ram that the GPU allocates to use as slower-but-better-than-nothing vram when it runs out. Even when it totally locks up from what I assume is running out of memory to load one of the absolutely massive maps, it never uses more than ~300MB of shared gpu memory.>>507467276fair enough, I'll start a thread of it's own like >>507466649 suggested. it'll take a bit to put anything in there since I currently have nothing to show but hopefully it takes off.

>>507446375To an extent, yes. The premise is "big open space with many people", but the reality is something like "max 4 actual players in an instance" in a barren void. So when you have big conflicts, it plays out as instanced or solo runs in tiny groups instead of being grand scale.
>>507490446Marianas has missions?Only one I know of is the notVietnam Reflected campaign for the Huey
>>507492905>Marianas has missions?It's a tough call putting Marijuanas at #1, but it looks the best, it's FREE, usually has some bangers for Instant Action missions, and https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/filter/map-is-marianas/apply/Also, there is a new paid F-16 campaign for it that I haven't gotten around to playing.
Terrain! Terrain!
Any specific hopes for the 2025 and beyond video? I just want a Blackhawk already, it's just so much fucking cooler looking than the Huey
first A2A encounter during this campaign and bms in general since i mostly do A2G, also sa-10 defeated as well. although it was nice i got hit by AAA fire and had to eject.>mission results:2 a/a kills3 a/g killspilot MIA
>>507503939There's one from Temu, it's just as good, honest! https://github.com/Kinkkujuustovoileipa/uh-60l
hohoho
>>507503939>BO-105 when?Really anything on rotorcraft, or any viable pathway towards Vietnam that isn't just another mod for Vietguam.
>>507515005I just want my whiskey, which has been on "permanent hold" for like 2 years now.
>>507503939more desert maps
We have a nice array of helicopters already and my wallet can't take much more.Honestly I would be the happiest with a modernization/texture overhaul for the Huey and Mi-8.
>>507523628>texture overhaul for the Huey and Mi-8That'll be $29.99 + tip + passion and support
>>507523568I would really like to see the Nevada map extended West to include part of the California coast. Just think of all the fictional scenarios you could do with that. You could have the Red States invade the Libtards, you could have China invade the West Coast, you could terror bomb hollywood with a flight of B-1s you are escorting, etc. >>507523857Ok, sold.
How large is an installation of MSFS2020? Thinking about giving it a try.
Ouchhttps://youtu.be/AqmA_EZsHWc
>>507503939A-7E corsair footage, that's all i need.Would like some official 3rd party REDFOR 2nd/3rd gen jets like the Fitter and generally stuff without MFDs.A-4E cameo again.AH-1W.
has anyone gotten the underground maps to work in dcs? i keep crashing in cave system 3.
>>50752715090 gigs or so, plus another 10 gigs per scenery region. At least that's what I remember before I uninstalled it and then hunted down the 90gb to manually trash it to make room for DCS because it doesn't really want to uninstall correctly. I even asked for a refund on steam since I had about 20 hours in the game with about 15 of those hours just installing and updating from Microsofts servers that they run out of an apartment closet apparently. Also it has mandatory 20-60 minute updates seemingly every time you try to run it, so hopefully you're not trying to fit a quick flight in after work. It'll CTD several times after updating as well, so add another 5-10 minutes of startup depending on your computer each time.All in all, fuck Microsoft and AssOboe too.
>>507534410Never heard of underground maps for DCS, but if you give me a link I'll figure it out with you.
Merry Christmas
>spend 1.8million credits on firefighting company plus airtractor>get 41,000 credits for a 100% perfect mission with no skipsThis has to be the worst deal in the history of MSFS24. At least it's fun.Virtually nothing but cargo runs are worthwhile in this game. I'll report back once I have the saab340b for airlines.
Broombroombros, are we back?https://youtu.be/4ZlW9vYZbFI
Are there some purely PvE multiplayer servers in DCS that don't spam enemy air patrols everywhere?I've been playing DCS multiplayer on and off in short bursts for some years by now, but all the popular PvE servers (Through the inferno, Georgia/etc at War, 4YA, etc) can only be enjoyed in an F-16 or F-18 with 4+ AMRAAM for self escort because of the constant swarm of enemy jets spawning everywhere.Everytime I tried to enjoy something like an A-10, Harrier, Su-25 or helicopters in multiplayer on a good day I had 5-10 minutes until some AI patrol found me and shot me down with radar missiles. I pretty much only play some of my favorite modules in single player because of this.
>>507561660it's kinda mutually exclusive, you want air superiority before you send in the close support, but then the fighter boys have nothing to dothere could in theory be a CAS PVE server but I don't know if there is
>>507561660Just stay below treetop level with a heli. I never even encounter enemy jets that way.
>>507574885lol that never worksI've had AI aircraft shoot me with guns on the ground after I landed.Other times I waited for them to pass and when I took off it immediately did a 180.
>>507576016Maybe your livery wasn't coordinated enough with the vegetation :^] Still though, I almost never encounter ANYTHING online, that's why I mostly just stick to single player.
>>507503939>cooler looking than the HueyZoom zoom
>not even a 10% discount for vkb on boxing daytsk tsk
>>507597326>not flipping more burgers to afford better sim equipmenttsk tsk
>>507587628Why do most jets look ugly as shit when they make a 2 seater variant?
>>507605098Same reason your mother looks worse after the boob job and lip fillers
>>507606527That's very rude and not even true
>>507606706So you think your mother looks sexier now after the boob job and lip fillers?
is 2 aircraft enough for a strike like this? no escort? i gave we have 4 radar and 4 ir in total + jammer but still heavy asf due to bags and jdams
>>507607786nvm i tried taking off without afterburner and i crashed so had to eject :|
>monitor for pg10 all day>can't even be assed to post a sim screenPathetic. Let it die already.
>>507631874How come dey beildings don't look all melty?
>>507642212>Potatogrammetry
is the B580 good enough for flight sim?
>>507650749No.
>>507322621>>507324580>>507325004>>507325439>>507326090DCS and MSFS compliment each other very well. MSFS can be a lot more than sight seeing if you want it to be. You can't experience bush flying/STOL or water landings in DCS world which is really it's own entire type of flying and you have infinitely many places to practice it in MSFS. Then with MSFS there are also big group flights to different destinations which is pretty unique to any simulator that has ever been out.While flying around in MSFS though, I do always think how cool it would be to have DCS modules and vehicles in the MSFS game world if it ran a bit better
Denver?
>you have to play each day for companies to make passive incomeweak. I really wanted Nyg-Air to print free money.
Is it even worth getting out of the truck to steal gas cans in MudRunner VR? They don't seem to fill it up much
boomp
>>507605098Nah, I find 2 seater varians more pleasing. Especially the Thyphoon.
>>507676743Do 4WD and Diff Lock both accomplish the same thing, just costing different resources (gas or wear)? Or is it more like one for hills, one for mud? The tutorial didn't explainIt seems to blink a warning at you when you're using Diff Lock when you don't need it (at least I think that's what that means) but wish I could tell when to use it instead of guessing and relying on that
>>5076948244 wheel drive gives better traction on uneven terrain, with 2WD the drive wheels might have bad grip in some situationsdifferential lock makes all wheels spin the same amount, which gives better traction in slippy conditions like mud, so you don't have some wheels free spinning while others are stuck
>>507622546it's the holidays
>>5076842482 seater typhoon looks retarded as fuckI think the only fighters that actually looks good in 2 seater are the F-18, F-15 and Su-27 variants
man the DCS World webshop's chatbot assistant is really disappointing
>>507701824Alright, I guess I'll stick with mud = diff lock, steep hills/rocky = 4wdI'd gotten into the habit of trying 4wd first, even in mud, and then diff lock (i.e. both at once) because 4wd just uses extra gas (which is somewhat refillable, when you find gas cans) whereas diff lock drains "wear" which doesn't seem to be fixable within a mission
>>507739154combining the two gives more traction yet again so if you're in a bad spot use both
Winwing starts hyping their mcdu ! What a time for those enjoying airline simming
>>507728069fucking kek
the two seater of my dreams
>bought 2k worth of sim gear>haven't sim'd in a yearFucking grim. Also how's MSFS 2024 now ? Still garbo ?
>>507758195Ideal to give your copilot a handy
>>507760939>Also how's MSFS 2024 now ? Still garbo?Check back around mid-late 2028.
>>507655906All I really want while playing either sim is to convincingly napalm any tree in Southeast Asia.
