Lost my old t1600m now need new hotasShould I just get t1600m again? Or splurge a little more and get vkb stick and throttle?
>>498743946That's down to how much you want to spend. The VKB sticks are reasonably priced but the throttles are more expensive.
>>498743127fuck I had even copypasted it
>>498744076I liked the t1600m throttle but the stick was horrible.May get a vkb stick and t1600m throttle until willing to upgrade.What are anons opinions on the x56 hotas?
>>498744223That's funny because it's the opposite for me, I like the stick but think the throttle is shit. VKB stick + 16000m throttle sounds like a good option for you.

>>498744170Haha don't you hate that
Just heard a sonic boom outside from this, first I've heard irl.
>>498750227probably an intercept? I don't think they can break the sound barrier over land even for training legally

>>498750594Yeah good point and I've just seen thishttps://www.msn.com/en-gb/travel/news/what-s-behind-the-20-bomb-threats-that-disrupted-air-travel-in-india/ar-AA1sqP7Ginteresting
>>498750648I bet they're sweating bullets, that's not a normal holding pattern in case of an emergency so probably someone died on board, if it was jeetorrism they would've squawked 7500
>>498750780Would a typhoon really intercept if someone had died onboard?
>>498750895if someone was killed then yes
>>498751068Good point, it's flying off now and the squawk has gone
>>498713629Not surprising. It's made by former Cold Wars dev(s) and DotMod creators.
>>498747175Basically any airliner from before the 90's took a significant amount of work to actually operate. What you're saying applies only to those who want to import a simbrief flight plan just to taxi out and watch the show.
>>498753285That is unfortunately what the majority of the flightsim community do.

>>498780628>Don't think of even trying to blow yourself up or we'll do it for you
>>498780628They don't care about the plane, they are there to ensure that if the pilot gets killed the terrorists can't do more harm than blowing a plane up.
>>498743946>>498744076I have had a VKB stick for about 4 years now and it's easily been the best stick I've owned/used. Still works like it did when it was new.I see people who use their Gladiator stick always highly recommend it. It has a throttle on the stick that you can use, but you can also get a standalone throttle if you want.
>>498744223I haven't tried the X56, but have had several X52 and X52 pro's over the years. They're good sticks but Logitech QA isn't what it used to be, so they could be hit or miss. The VKB sticks are definitely higher quality.
hello miss moon
>>498793047I forgot it's a hunter's moon atm
>>498795506sadly it's raining irl here
It doesn't feel dark enough at night in MSFS
>>498800062depends on the moon, when there is a half or full moon msfs is too dim.
>>498802354It is a bright moon to be fair
Are we moonposting?
M O O N spells MOON.
>>498802812boon :D
>>498802812Wow the moon looks great there, I'll have to dig out some old moon shots.
>>498803359I don't actually fly at night much so don't have many
Contrary to popular belief, the moon does exist during the day.

its been over a year since the last major dev update on the A-7E.
>>498864974that plane looks like a mix between an f4 phantom and a surprised g91
I went from being excited about 2024, to be underwhelmed, to being excited again. I think there are tonnes are minor improvements all round which are going to make a difference, nothing major apart from career mode, which I'll try out but not sure if I'll use it.
>>498870216There's a lot of unknowns but I'm cautiously optimistic

I just saw that Xplane12 has a more realistic M-346 that is even officially licensed by Leonardo. Is Xplane worth it just for a single plane? Do they have sales around the holidays?
>>498839475thanks
>>498875156It does look like a very good addonhttps://xplanereviews.com/index.php?/forums/topic/14103-aircraft-review-leonardo-aermacchi-m-346-ajt-by-deltawing-simulations/#comment-20736I couldn't say whether it's worth getting X Plane 12 just for that, you'll have to accept that the scenery will look worse.
>>498876152I'll probably have to wait. I'm already planning to buy msfs2024 either in november or december and 77€ + plane is a bit steep in the same month. Best case scenario would be that the msfs version gets an huge update to bring it closer to the xplane one. But I'm not too optimistic on that.
>>498876672It sounds like it's better than the IFT version, but it's worth waiting to see if the IFT one gets a decent update for 2024 with new features (beyond the 24 stuff).
>>498876672just break into the IFTS and steal one of their rigs with a forklift.

>>498881050Talk about DCS or something else then. People only talk about DCS ITT when there's some new drama.
>>498881512>People only talk about DCS ITT when there's some new drama.The cause of that is that a lot of DCS userbase nowadays are young kids who just discovered flight sims and equate having a lot of switches with realism. The other is that ED keeps only upgrading the vanity aspect of the sim like graphics while dumbing down the actual sim aspects so there is literally nothing to talk about.
>>498870216When were you underwhelmed and what made you excited again?
>>498872858>>498873032>>498878664>LIDO chartsI’ll keep paying for Navigraph lolIt’s great to have a free option but I know a LOT of people who will keep paying for Navigraph to have Jepp charts
>>498881050Let's talk about the new Mandalay explorer in Elite Dangerous!
>>498882993I use LIDO charts through Aviaplanner and they're fine, they're enough for me at least but I don't do that much IFR. It'll save me £3 a month if they're all in MSFS though. I think being able to plan mid-flight is huge though, I can't wait for that.
>>498883037>incredible visuals and sound>fuck all to do but grind>devs are morons and keep releasing expansions which consist of gimmicksIt hurts, maybe I'll revisit E:D at some point to see how it is these days but I wasn't impressed when I played it back in the day. For me it's X4.
>>498883527Oh absolutely, depending on how good it is, I might quit using simbrief altogetherStill will continue using Navigraph and Jepp charts though
Once I can see the runway, should I stay true to the ILS lines or trust the papi lights?
>>498885526>Radio navigational guidance is all well and good, but the part of the approach where you’ve found your way to the runway and are on short finals has to be flown visually. The localizer and glideslope indications become very sensitive the closer you get to the runway.
The Antonov An-2
>>498888486really cool plane, seeing the reviews on simplaza the flight model is not really accurate tho.
>>498890743I just checked and there's one comment saying that, I think it's a very well received plane overall. The AN-2 basically cannot stall so it's a bit of a strange plane in that regard.
>>498890743Yes, I will compare it next time I fly my An-2 in real life.
>>498891092bullshit, I can stall anything.

>>498896908I could see myself interested in some of them but only if they support the wear & tear/maintenance/pre-flight inspection stuff, and Asobo's been kind of vague on what all planes will do that, other than a comment about the Aviator edition planes "not being upgraded" which sounds like none of those will

What planes would you want to have the most in msfs2024?
>>498908015Lockheed L-188 Electra
>>498896908I'm getting premium deluxe for the H224, CH47, C17, and Taurus M as together they'd cost more than standard + the planes anyway. Also I want a normal C172, why that's in deluxe is beyond me. The Dornier Seastar also looks fun and that's by ATSimulations (dev who did the AN-2) so should be good. The aviator tier is mostly gimmicky planes or shit ones with only the odd good one like the Scout/Wasp which I've already got.
>>498908015some sort of long-range mid-size jet that goes further than the Longitude, like the Bombardier Global 8000
>>498908015BAC Provost/Strikemaster
>>498908015If we're assuming actual great quality and as in depth as msfs allows then:>M346>A380>Gulfstream G650 with that sexy ass thermal overlay in the hud>MIG29>CL-415
>>498914602There's a freeware A380 in development that's supposed to be good I think>CL-415Already in and will be coming to 2024, the quality is not bad, not study level but it's pretty good.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNhuXQyyBr8>>498914827>freeware A380That's neat. regarding the cl-415 I also hope the firefighting missions won't be a gimmick
>>498916794ngl I was a bit disappointed by how quickly you empty a full tank. If you can turn all the assists and visual guidance off they should be fun enough.
>>498916942I guess mods will fix any major errors. As long as microsoft doesn't restricts mods for planes that are going to be used in career mode
>>498919142They said they will
>>498919206seriously?
>>498920356They said the only planes that can be used in career are those on the marketplace and that they have to be approved by them for use with it. They didn't specifically say modding was banned but it sounds like it will be.
>>498920504gay
>>498920504If they're smart they'll just disable plane mods in career mode
>>498920694The bloke in charge of career mode is very autistic about it and about letting people do what they want. You can't even do the missions outside career mode, even Jorg admitted he knew everyone wanted that but said the other bloke wanted to force the career mode with training.
spooky
>>498921053I'll never understand making "cheating" hard in a single player game. Hell, just disable mods for the online rankings.
>>498908015Starship
>>498924723I think that's probably been delayed to launch after 2024. For me I will be waiting for the King Air revamp and the C208 one.

>>498987440nah, he was one of the first criticizing DCS, but he probably realized most DCS players are rabid fanboys who don't give a fuck about the sim not being a sim so he didn't want to lose viewers.
>>498987393I wait till the next paid update has arrived
>>498989310?
As a newcomer, should I invest in one of the higher tier editions of MFS 2024 or should the standard be fine?
>>498992147do you really really want any of the premium edition planesdo you have plenty of disposable income
>>498992147Standard and if you really like it upgrade later on/pirate the planes later
>>498992147>>498993370Basically this, if you want a plane in the higher tier then go for it. They have said though that the planes from those tiers will be available for purchase individually, but obviously you'll save money with the editions.
>>498954934
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9YU0dWXS_QThis channel is great, thanks to whoever recommended it in a previous thread.
>F-5 this>T-38 thatWhy no love for F-20
The IRL manual says the reference airspeed to land at 117 knots for 6000 kg of aircraft mass. Add 4 knots every 500 kg of mass increment, but to aim for an AOA of 10. While doing it in the sim if I follow the manual I end up at 100 knots and 70% rpm instead of 80%. Am I doing something wrong or is it a ploblem of the sim/addon?
Sea Power drama update: devs hired a modder who left malware in one of the big cold waters modpackshttps://www.reddit.com/r/SeaPower_NCMA/comments/1g738qo/what_is_sea_power_team_doing_about_this/
>>499005134>reddit
>>499005134>modding dramagaydon't care
how to take off in the Extra 330LT? it cant move with full throttle and has no parking brakes?
>>499005134Not sure what this exactly is but you shouldn't trust most r-edditors or actually anyone's random opinion online about what is malware and what is not. Unless they have some virustotal log files to show anyway.There is always some sissy fit among modders and emulator devs as it seems.
>>499011487I mean - the installer detects if a conflicting mod has already been installed and it deletes those files just to avoid breaking the game installation permanently. It's not that hard to decipher the purpose of the modder in this sense.i.e. all of this drama is useless and waste of time. And calling something like this malware is not reasonable at all.
>>499012041It's kind of funny, because both mod teams have Russian devs and both accuse each other of stealing content.
>>499013984Didn't Dangerous Waters too have two bigger mods - one was Russian power fantasy and the other one was more balanced out. I remember checking these out but haven't played in a while.Wonder if one of the Cold Water mod teams are the same guys too.
>>499015005>one was Russian power fantasy and the other one was more balanced outlmao, it's literally the same situation with Epic Mod being the former and Dot Mod the latter.
Also - not shilling, just random algorithm suggestion - https://youtu.be/i1IrUVgEZWk?t=41Very interesting. I wish I had money for these toys because if you break one of these it'll set you back for $$$.IRL simming.
>>499015307I went to an RC plane club years ago to try it out and it was boring. I think FPV is the only way to do it, otherwise you're just flying in a circle overhead.
>>499025956Yeah and even in this video, there is the guy standing beside him - I guess he is the flight control and the plane is only allowed to run around in the premise of the immediate field.So it's more like a carnival ride or something.
>>499026140It might because of range limitations, the plane would just drop out of the sky if you go too far.
>>499026897Radio controller should carry for miles.Maybe I'm wrong.Aren't those retarded explosive drones guided by a radio anyway and they travel for miles? I don't know. I don't follow on purpose.
>>499027092Depends on frequency and power of the transmitter and so on, but you should get enough distance to play around with it
>>499025956>FPV is the only way to do it, otherwise you're just flying in a circle overhead.This is correct. With an FPV quadcopter, you can basically experience the "speeder bike through the woods" from Return of the Jedi.
>>499028352Yeah I always thought that looks fun, do you have one?
>>499027975As much as I love war history I think the current AI guided drone warfare and its related paradigms are not fun. It's like mockery.
>>499028714Mate we'll live to see the kino death robot era
>>499028817I don't know. I'd rather sink in an Uboat than die to some faggot guiding a drone. It's like games - it's fine when I see the situation okay I'm going to get fucked but with some games like Tarkov or even Sandstorm Insurgency, there is no aftermath or any indication - you just die because some faggot camper just shot me from an unspecified distance.
>>499029093Well hopefully in WW3 with our sim skills we'll be the faggot drone operators working from home in our boxers as we blow Russians and Chinese soldiers up the other side of the world.
>>499029386I guess so, or some form of online b.s. harrassment operators.lmao
>>499029093being an FPV operator in Ukraine is actually dangerous though, it's not like an MQ-9 where the "pilot" is in a metal box on the other side of the world, FPV operators are maybe a few kilometers from the frontline at best which means they're within artillery range and could get spotted and hit at basically any time
>>499029775Yeah I was watching a video about it and they have to hide in basements and regularly get blown up
>>499029775Maybe I have a wrong idea about this. I haven't followed any of the developments on purpose except for some tank related things.
>>499028508I have a few. The learning curve is kinda high. (Both building and flying), but it's a really fun hobby. To answer someone else's question, max range on an LR drone is 5-10 miles, and if you are standing next to a big tree and fly behind it you get video interference, but if you fly behind a big tree in the distance you barely notice. Flying behind a ridge of a rock is instant video link cut (5.8ghz), but usually you still have reception with your control link because it's lower frequency (900mhz or 2.4ghz), so you can either bling throttle up over the obstruction or hit the Return to Home switch if you have GPS equipped.
>>499028714and rifles or dropping jdams are not mockery? hell you could say the same about bows and arrows, swords, rocks.
>>499029386I'll be at home in my boxers playing flight sims as Russian and Chinese soldiers raze DC. Not my problem!
>>499030632*Either blind throttle up
>>499029093>I'd rather sink in an Uboat than die to some faggot guiding a drone.spoken like a true 14yo edgelord
>>499030673All war is whatever this planet seems to be built for. But there are better ways to die than some others.Yeah, whatever this why talking about war in general even on /simg/ is dangerous because it only takes few minutes before some retard/influencer will come here and go all US politics lmao.
>>499030970See what I just wrote here >>499030983Please post about trannies and Indians too while you are it.

>>499031871>>499032060Take your arguments somewhere else we don't want it in /simg/
One more month and I won't have to look at ugly trees any more.
landing practice
>>499037187I'm doing the same
>>499037858Nicee. I feel like sooner or later I'll become one of those airliner turboautists enjoyers as the part of a flight I enjoy the most are takeoff and landing with everything properly trimmed out and on glideslope.
>>499038432the next step after that are train sims
>>499038432I agree I love doing circuits, and there's so much technique to the approach and landing you just want to keep doing them and getting better.
>>499038726yeah, properly doing circuits is still only something I nail 50% of the time. most often my wingtip is above the runway or I end up way too wide on final
>>499038957I'm shit at being the right distance on downwind too
>>499038957It's pretty much impossible without tens of hours. Even with just a Cessna. I wonder if any of the real PPL guys even bother doing it outside license exam.
>>499039686>>499039776The few times I managed to do it at least 3 or 4 times correctly outside of DCS with the f16 was with the hawk after following a cgaviator video and copying every movement he did and parameter he had. I guess it's more math than feel
For me, it's eyeballing the landing
>>499042095buttery smooth
Cool new livery for the now retired AMX AMX
>>499042525I don't know how I did but this plane is quite easy to land, probably has to do with the low stall speedI made others that are an absolute bitch to get down on the tarmac without issues
I could never fly this, my left hand is absolutely useless and wouldn't be capable of the fine movements required to not smash an airliner into the ground
>>499049182Just be a first officer and you can sit on the right
>>499051435No just give me a plane with throttle on the left and a stick in the middle or right
>>499053435Sf260
>>499049182i think its kinda weird. imagine that you're a fighter pilot, lets say the f16. so throttle on the left and stick on the right. you retire from the military and easy job in the airlines, now you're the FO in the airbus, so again, stick on the right and throttle on the left. then when you're to be upgraded to a cpt. after your entire fucking life you're supposed to swap it and have the stick in your left hand and throttles on the right
>>499059647Turns out that's the entirety of captain training: learning ambidexterity.

>>499094940I was recommended this video, haven't clicked on it yet.While I don't play DCS, for MSFS I pirate everything I addon, apart from the base game (and occasionally buy a plane, such as the IFE f-14 or A2A one). You can pirate DCS aircraft?
>>499101826Iirc there's a way to pirate modules for DCS.But ED are stupid and have "approved piracy". The 14 day free trial for modules can just be abused by making new DCS accounts.
>>499101826yes but you need to pirate the whole game from some russian website. If you buy it from steam or their own store you're unironically getting a worse experience as you have a 24/7 online DRM.

>>499243607since it's a cessna, why not cut throttle and try to use the rudder when slowed down?
>>499243607What is going on here?
>>499243659It looks like he wasn't concentrating and looking off to something on the right and panicked when it started to leave the runway.
>>499243607>>499243696He landed and started going off the runway, panicked and put in full power to try to do a touch and go, started veering off the other side of the runway and instead of taking out power he left in full power and appeared to try to pull back the whole way through the grass. Really bad decision to leave the power in there, he froze up and just yanked on the yoke.
>>499243827>>499244301damn, poor dudehope he survived it somehow
>>499244301Brutal
>>499244301WeirdMy instinct there would probably be to slam the brakes and then I'd probably flip over
>>499245936I suppose even slamming the rudder on and tipping over would be better than going full pelt into a hangar.

>>499286678I'm looking forward to the improved night lighting in 24 for more cosy night flying.
>>499287825same. I hope they also fix the day light bloom. In VR it's atrocious
>>499287825btw I know I was too slow there, I realised that after idling across runway threshold, stalling and coming down hard. It feels weird using so much throttle to keep the plane at 60 knots on approach with full flaps, but I suppose that's just what it needs.>>499288257Can't you adjust that in the graphics settings?
>>499288257>courchevelPiss easy to land there. I don't know why they think it's so special.
>>499288316>Can't you adjust that in the graphics settings?I don't think so. I tried every settings but it keeps washing out everything. Same in DCS after that lighting update from a while ago.>>499288403>Piss easy to land there.Yeah, It's honestly overrated. Just flare and cut the throttle.
>>499288403It does look nice
>>499289087is that an ov-10 taking off?
>>499289734It looks like it, no idea what it's doing there
>>499289087>>499288403>>499288257Courchevel is one of my favorites to fly around. Lots of fun to take a bush plane out there and try to land in some tricky spots.
>>499292935You can land any plane on it with this one simple trick>land>once you reach the end of the runway at speed put the parking brake on and full rudder>spin plane 180 degrees>release brake and rudder>repeat as many times as necessary to slow down
>>499289734SKYKING FOREVER
>>499294962I had a skyking patch on my range bag but it was stolen by some faggot.
>>499294962Gone but not forgotten
>>499298290damn, fuck that faggot
>>499298290Is that Bondone?
>>499298995Oh no don't worry the wiggly road up the mountain threw me off
>>499298995It does look similar to ponte caffaro near bondone but I think it's Sondrio. I fly often there in the sim and the airport on the right looks like the aviosuperficie Caiolo. It would make sense as it's closer to venegono
>>499300612Looks like a comfy airport, I love little ones like these that aren't so small they're just a grass strip.
>>499300612yeah looks like I'm right>>499301034yeah, it's also nicely detailed in the sim. But I can't remember if I had put some custom scenery.

>BlueBird Simulations confirms Boeing 757 release delay into 2025 for MSFSThis will probably be one of the few modern (ish) airliners I'll actually buy, I love the 757.
>>499345571The 797 could look like this
>>499364060all these "dude the next gen airliner" renders get it wrong because at the end of the day the normie public doesn't want to get in a weird alien spaceship thing like that so airlines wouldnt buy iteventually they'll look like that, but there will be a transition between classic tubeliners and that
>>499365547Nah the airlines hate these things because they’re too big to fit in existing airports and air travel went from hub and spoke to point to point. That’s why they ended up stopping production of the A380 because more planes was better than big planes in the longer term.
>>499365547That is being actively worked on so we will see something that looks like that. The issue is people will have to sit in the middle with no windows nearby unless they implement skylights, so window seats will probably be more expensive.

Off-topic reminder that the Intel 13/14th gen CPU fixes are available to download via your motherboard's website if you haven't done so already.

Is a game like Dangerous Waters hard to code?Do you guys know if there is going to be a road stop that would require me to really rethink my coding? I've thought it through and the basic game mechanics look relatively easy to implement, so much so that even sloppy code would suffice.I just want to create a prototype featuring a submarine, a frigate and a merchant ship, so on the asset-side, it should be very lightweight.
>>499405748There is the simulation side of things, the systems you see in the game are not just scripted interface panels.And enemy AI and its procedures are always one big additional problem to solve.
I hope I can do regular island hopping cargo trips in the new career mode and it's not just random missions all over the world. Honestly I'll probably just do them in free flight anyway.

>>499417583It sounds like they're being really anal about it so I'm not sure we'll see that any time soon. But having something like Neofly or whatever built into the game would be good.>>499418227A small amount of 13th and 14th gen CPUs (mostly seems to be affecting 14th gen i9s) were becoming unstable over time causing blue screens, crashing and other stuff. It turned out that the CPUs were demanding unsafe voltages and damaging the processors. This was permanent damage, you had to RMA it if you experienced it. The fixes which are out now are to prevent that from happening.
