>>519381379if I try to do 100fps or less landing I end up having to ham the brakes (and encounter the rudder bug) or can't stop due to aerobraking not working.
>>519389023>100fps or less landingare you referring to VAS or IAS?
>>519389539i miswrote, I meant fpm. What is VAS?
>>519390860vertical air speed
>>519391110Apparently I just made that up, I thought it was common terminology.
>>519391304just looked it up and usually they call it VSI.
>>519391304its just called vertical speed, VS
>>519389023>rudder bugwhat is that?
>>519391661when I apply brakes the rudder start max deflecting into random directions. It even ignore any corrections I try to make to it. Look at the FCS page to the low left and look at the rudder value.

>>519403007First one yeah around 135kt. I was just trying steep approaches, second one I was at around 110kt which is even slower than the irl landing speed for the weight. It's just that the plane feels extremely slippery and hard to slow down in xplane.>double bindsAlready checked those, it's a bug that's already been reported last year but still hasn't been fixed.

>>519426629It's all the blood rushing out of your penis to your head and then you passing out from air-gooning too hard. Happens in real life.
>>519427124then how do fighter pilots rapidly nosedive?
>>519427215They usually try not to, I think. Much better to roll inverted and yank the stick back, that way they can let the g-suit squeeze their legs to do the work of keeping blood in their head.

The SU2 beta for MSFS has a lot of stuff in it, once it comes out it's probably a good time to get the game for anyone that's on the fence. https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/sim-update-2-beta-1-4-7-0-release-notes-march-25-2025/712825
>>519468913how's the piaggio?
>>519469235It has RA so 10/10
I ambushed him and his buddies while on patrol, took out one, and then lured the rest into a some friendly BF-109s. With just this guy remaining and me without ammo, I called it a day and flew back home to my base 100km away. Then, while after doing a go-around due to busy runway, and lining up for a second glideslope, I find this guy as followed me all the way here and is lining up a shot on me just as I'm about to touch down. He is forced to fuck off anyway due to air defenses. He then limps back home for about 50km, runs out of fuel, crashes into a tree, and I earn the kill because I hit him with like a single round 8mm mauser about half an hour ago. Valentin, you are so fucking mad.
>>519471796Gently flatten the plane and reduce your speed
>>519471871Surprisingly, I haven't biffed a landing yet, despite having an awful chink joystick and only a POV hat for viewing. Maybe it's time to turn off the tips.
>>519472052>POV hat for viewingI found IL-2 unplayable without head tracking honestly
>>519472159It would be if I turned off all the casual features. I can't look over or around my nose with the POV hat, but the ez mode markers mean I can just use those as a reference for where the runway is. Having cockpit, chase view, padlock friendly, and padlock enemy all bound on a 4-way hat and the zoom on a slider really helps. I wish the HUD overlay had a turn and slip indicator on it, no way to conveniently see that.

I keep thinking about a joystick and my rational mind is inexorably drawn towards the gamepad route. No joystick with comparable accuracy and quality exists for below 2-3x the price.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuBZPFJklLk
Is this burro enough?
>>519545079It might be a controversial take, but if you only care about gaming and "immersion" isn't your priority using a controller is perfectly fine.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Zy_P-EhjPo&t=180s

>>519546263Yeah, I've seen that. The other problem is basic math and sensibility. Just the basic VKB is $190, the premium is fucking $220. That's very dear just for civ flying unless I go the whole hog DCS route, which is probably a lot more money.Or I can get a V4P for $48 that'll work great with everything else I might ever want to play, including DCS.

>>519344467im getting pretty much no help wherever I ask so I figure fuck it maybe here. i'm trying to unfuck my wheel setup and make something that can go from sim to sim/game to game and be somewhat consistent.some games its easy because its effectively just map a controller to it and others take the whole sim thing and fucking run as far as they can with it.im wondering if anyone has a somewhat good setup or ideas of what to map where so I at least have a base of how things should map, and if anything needs to change I can make changes from a soild base line. for reference, my current setup is just make the cars move and deal with the rest later, but as you can see by this post, later never came and im getting a bit frustrated, I would rather not spend 1000~ hours in various sims and games to still not be done mapping the controller well.

I just ripped an old M-346 DVD and I found this interesting scene. They used MSFS2004 for their simulations apparently
>>519661681They used a single throttle lever too? 2004 was grim for hardware...
>>519662269Can't see from the footage, maybe they just used a consumer f16 throttle since they are similar to the final M-346 one.
>>519662961Oh, I see now. They sawed an F-16 throttle in half and mounted them on two side carriages. That's kinda cool.
>>519663924makes sense, the f-16 throttle is the most comfortable one ever created.
>>519661681>They used MSFS2004 for their simulations apparentlyShould've used Xplane.
>>519667372I think it goes back to what some other anon had said about most flight sims being kinda the same and it's up to the devs. Cecconello in this dvd said that before doing the first flight on the M-346 prototype (he had done a lot more on the Yak-130 when it was still a joint venture) he did around 280 flights in the sim and they helped a lot since it's almost the same as the real one.

>>519500241this is ultimately why I gave up and ended up selling my oculus rift s. It was cool, but I realised early on that I would never be fully satisfied until I end up spending thousands on a 1:1 cockpit in my room. Because for me, VR + hotas + rudder pedals just wasn't enough.

>>519583220>im wondering if anyone has a somewhat good setup or ideasI've got 2 wheels, my GT wheel I just mapped to match exactly whats in the car, but my other wheel is similar to your pic. I'm a noob but what I've been doing is frequent controls near lefthand (since right hand has to move to shifter sometimes). things like wipers, lights, brake bias. Maybe handbrake and stuff if you don't have a physical one. Right hand side I do stuff like menus and repairs and stuff.as far as mapping between games I've seen some guys with huge sim rigs use some 3rd party software to cajole everything together. I can't remember the name at the moment I'll see if I can find it, maybe that would help.I've just been binding everything on a per game basis and it suckscould also just look at a gt/F1 wheel and assign buttons in similar position to those

Something just tickles my brain when it comes to thinking how to design a flight sim. For example, the instruments in a plane could be elegantly designed with OOP, each one deriving its interface and generic functionality from a base class. There's just something beautiful to it, but also there is the cold realization that making a flight sim in the year 2025 on your own is just not worth it, you'd be too far behind.

I ordered parts from china to setup an SDR receiver just to listen to nearby VOR's and NDB's and verify if they are even alive. Is this autism? Not even sure if a small antenna on my balcony is going to work but we'll see, the parts are arriving today I think. Sorry for slightly off-topic but this interest was caused by my x-plane hobby so I guess it's okay to post about it here.
>>520104153It's autism but it's based, I have an amateur radio license myself and used to do lots of HF stuff. Messing around with radios is great fun.
>>520104835Cool, I'm still pretty much a newbie when it comes to knowledge about radios. I like to learn by doing, either in a sim or in real life. I think it would be cool if I could listen to the ATIS of my nearby airport, though I'm fairly certain it's not possible from where I'm located at with the equipment I ordered. Also I'll try to listen to the advisory frequency to see if anything's happening here at all, rarely even see planes flying here.

>>520124446On a scale of Kerbal to Starfield, does E:D or Scam Citizen have the best Newtonian physics? I hate when games make space feel "draggy" for lack of a better word.
>>520125315That's X4, which can be Newtonian if you turn flight assist off, with the recent flight model update it's more drifty and I suppose in-between on-rails and full Newtonian . I haven't played E:D for years, I can't quite remember what that's like, similar though.
>>520125453ED has the same deal with flight assist off.
>>520107154Cheers anon, I only have a cheap dipole antenna for now. I'll see what I can do with it but I'll be definitely setting up something better later after I've learned more about this stuff. The SDR is now running on my balcony with the power of a Raspberry Pi 4, it's running a server to which I can connect from my PC, so the raspb is only crunching samples and transmitting them over the network, I did some testing and this thing can go as high as 24M samples per second until it starts dropping samples. Very cool, I can find peaks around the nearby NDB frequencies but I am unable to actually hear the morse code, probably just obstructions and my horrible antenna preventing that. Anyways, I'll find a better general for this stuff from now on, sorry about this off-topic I just wanted to reply to the radio anon that I got it working.

>>520140389I have no problem in the f14
>>520133960Have fun mate, I miss my old HF transceiver, I sold it because I needed the money, ham radio equipment is expensive. But I fondly remember nights of searching the bands seeing what I could find, listening in to people's conversation, finding strange noises, shortwave radio stations, and of course actually making contact with someone in a far away country. It's quite special when you hear your callsign read back from a country thousands of miles away from a wire in your garden.
Planning on learning the A310 today.Really I want to run short haul domestic cargo ops in the A300-600, but I can’t find a single thing telling me it’s worth it to pay for the 306 other than I’ll have to play pretend I’m hauling crates instead of pax.
>>520149879>other than I’ll have to play pretend I’m hauling crates instead of pax./simg/ will know, and you will be judged.
>>520138483The boom is a relic of when Stategic Air Command was king of shit mountain, it's way easier to get on in a bomber, fighters struggle. CAT3 config switch helps a bit in dcs.
King air! Respond or you will be shot down!

>>520160639dampens inputs
>>520159395No stinkin' curry in our skies. This is Gorgonzola territory
>>520161380Just a scratch. is that X Plane by the way? I had no idea there were weapons in it.
>>520162884Yeah, xplane12. the weapons are a bit crudely implemented but still fun. On the m346 they just float under the wings.
I still feel like the M-346 would be a great DCS module. But at this point I don't know if it's just my obsession speaking.
>>520165192It definitely is your obsession, I saw someone started a mod for it years ago but it's probably abandoned
>>520165523yeah I saw that too. as of right now IIRC only the FTV are making an internal mod of the m346 for DCS but I think they only care about the flight model for their shows and IFE has already stated they will never make one for DCS. A bit sacrilegious and even less likely but I would like a yak-130 dcs module.
>>520165886I'm looking forward to Blackbird's T-38. The Mitsubishi T-2 is a nice trainer, I'd like to see that for MSFS.
>>520166329Looks like a skinny f4
I might install FS2004 tonight
>>520193515>Saar, please... it is the raining. Let me abord...

>https://aviationweek.com/defense/light-attack-advanced-training/leonardo-reveals-m-346-block-20-cockpit-redesignLeonardo unveils block20 cockpit for the m346. I don't really like the new HUD shape.
>>520244103>Available on production aircrafts from 2028. Almost all the modifications they made reflect the new requirements that the USN specified for T-45 replacement now that it's confirmed they won't have to do carrier landings. Looks like Leonardo is either betting everything on this bid and if it goes bad trying to sell the FA variants to poorer or smaller countries like they did with Nigeria and Austria.
>>520244103sovlless
>>520244679Did not meant to greentext everything
>>520244772Yeah, I hope that it will be subject to change as that one is the usual Elbit slop.
>>520257798Are volcanoes in MSFS? Fly into Mount Etna and report back.
>>520245149How much for one of these to permanently mount on my desk (still gonna fly in VR too).
>>520262459no idea, If I was filthy rich I would unironically buy one as I love HUDs. The one currently in the M-346 I think it's made in Italy. Those israeli elbit ones are usually cheaper (IIRC they just got a contract for the indian SU-something something and a contract to build a training school like the one we have at Deci with M-346s in Greece for the hellenic af).I found the pricing for a full M-346 simulator tho. 600k €.While 10 HMDS are 67k
>>520257976yeah
>>520275268Nice, shame there's no lava
>>520278550*Lava sold separately
>>520279892I'm amazed at how fast the addon/modding scene has moved since MSFS came out, it seems to have caught up with FSX already. X Plane has improved a bit but it's still behind.
>>520279892about to pirate it, apparently it's native to msfs2024
It looks a bit shit in 2024
They're still doing A400M training over my flat
>>520284354it's not that impressive irl
>>520284571They do KC-135 training over my house, its fucking sick desuWish we had the A400 over here, at least I still see the occasional C-130
>>520284638I see 135s every now and then but they're normally quite high. V-22s occasionally too.
>>520279892>>520278550
>>520287459That actually looks alright, and at a silky smooth 15fps too
>>520287608it's due to handbrake, look at top left. in game it was at a whopping 80+ fake frames

>>520395102yes, 30 of them in the 102 sqdr.
>>520394042Yes, and Jones is a total sellout now. Mr. Anti-Globalist was shilling for mass pajeet immigration after Elon's Christmas ketamine rant about how he wants to replace the entire US workforce with H1-b scab workers.I think there was some sort of deal where he got to skip out on that $1B settlement he owed on that lawsuit he lost in exchange for being a good goy that misdirects his listeners into going against their own interests.

Two flights in the A310 today and neither time could I get it to follow a simple ILS. G/S and LOC are active on the PFD but the thing just doesn't want to begin it's final descent. Obviously I'm doing something wrong but I find it extremely frustrating to have to try and fight a computer mid-air when it doesn't respond as expected. Do modern tubeliner sim pilots enjoy this? I'd rather manage my own levers and gauges than have to play 20 questions with a glorified calculator when I'm on short final.TLDR: fuck FMCs, fuck glass screens, aircraft peaked during the Nixon administration, thanks for reading my blog
>>520597764DCS Online has a popup window problem.
>>520598197It does, indeed. DCS at large is simultaneously continuously impressive for what it can do and what it's like now compared to back when Black Shark and A-10 were separate purchases, whilst also being an absolute dogfuck because it's still stemming from back when Black Shark and A-10 were separate purchases.
>>520598949If you really get down to it, DCS is a 30 year old game.
>>520599892It absolutely is, and that game had a much more relevant map to today than current DCS lol.
If anybody is looking for something to do in the Chinook, the Briefing Room mission generator doing commando drop offs in Afghanistan at night are actually pretty lulzy in a comfy-GWOT kind of way.

>>520610330I wonder how they would have looked if they'd been skinny boi
>>520613610We may some day see just that. Those side skirts are just housing for massive 1970's era avionics and electronics, you could probably run the whole helicopter on a nice modern tablet if you didn't have half the defense contractors in ZOG each demanding their pound of flesh with each Apache.

Honestly not bad.
>>520663865Just buy a fucking t1600000m
>>520663364yeah it's really cool. IIRC the Eurofighter has a similar thing but it also drops your nose if you're about to stall. And the M346 only has a basic PARS.
>>520663929a DS4 is unironically a better investment if he's on PC and he's unsure if he's going to like sims. If he ends up liking them he'll buy something better than the t16000000000000000m, meanwhile if he doesn't like them he still has a controller for other games.
>>520664081Sure if he has neither a controller nor a joystick, you can get more out of a joystick and throttle than a wheel I would say though as there are plenty of flying games, as well as space games that use them.
>>520663865These things are actually pretty good for the CPG seat in the Apache and the Kiowa.

Why do game devs do this shit
>>520749796Half the fun of warbirds is getting that slight edge from superior engine management. Sure, the AI will do their engine management inhumanly perfect, but online you can use it to effectively grief n00bs.
>>520750550Yeah okay, but why can't the devs put a little effort into making the keybind menu and their default binds not total dogshit so I don't have to spend over an hour fucking around? Even DCS is easier to set up. >RWin + LAlt + Backslash to turn on the window defroster on P-47D (razorback models only) during the month of FebruaryFuck off. So much of this could be streamlined with a better of thought. Tap G to raise/lower gear, hold G to drop tailhook/lock tailwheel.
>>520751923Dude, it's a clickable cockpit in modern flight sims, only people with home built full simpits need to bind the window defrosters, everyone else just looks over and clicks. If you are playing some cut-rate simulator without clickable cockpits then that's on you.

>>520663938i wonder if the heatblur eurofighter and the F-35 will have one, i mean ED is making a full fidelity F-35 after all, so it should, but so should the F-16 which it doesnt
>>520794737No idea, IIRC the EF they're developing is more of a fictional mixmash of different traches
>>520794737>ED is making a full fidelity F-35did they confirm it? it could turn out that it was like the bone, just an ai unit
>>520806720Yes they did. They also quietly announced a super hornet
>>520785409I love the DM3. Are there any interior mods?I'd like to not ride around in the Tetanu-Express
>>520794737>ED is making a full fidelity F-35It was about time. It makes no sense why an open source jet like the F-35 wouldn't be in DCS. Especially when the AN/APG-81 is so documented.
>>520811474>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oyCzT6sB_4To be fair the DCS level of "full fidelity" is a meme. They don't replicate/study anything, they just "copy" the output. Take this video for example, the technology behind how they can have such a SA display is obviously top secret and very complex, but all ED has to know is "bad guys are a white triangle, if you lock them they get a red ring around them" so you simply implement that within the game. It's no different from what they do in WarThunder. The biggest example of this methodology is the FLIR imagery and radar/RWR lock mechanics in DCS which are unironically inexistant.
>>520812792why expend limited hardware resources simulating when you can fake it for the same effect.reminds me of people whining that flight sims aren't 1 to 1 fluid dynamics simulators down to the atomic level.
>>520816924>>520812792ED literally says their simulations are 1:1, how do you know they dont simulate how radar waves travel through the air and interact with antennas if you dont have the source code? hm?
>>520817435Are we reading the same thing or is this an ESL issue? That's a very squishy statement.
>>520817435At this point I seriously don't know if you're trolling or just retarded
>>520824780computers can do billions of calculations per second. the thing that impacts performance is graphics and lighting. there's no reason ED cant simulate the complex stuff, the only thing that is stopping them is knowledge, which these days is infinite thanks to the internet.
>>520825564You're good... If you went "I was merely pretending to be retarded" it would be the first time I would believe it.
Xplane VR is not fun. No matter what settings I use it starts to stutter and drop massively in frames after 10-15 mins of flying.

>>520923391Yeah but I have an unconventional setup (debian, x-plane, xPilot) and it all just makes it very unclear how I should connect. Honestly though, I have not even started x-plane and tried connecting, it's my anxiety preventing me from even trying to join as an observer.

Also, whats a good rule of thumb for prop pitch in WW2 planes? Rough range for takeoff, climb, cruise, combat, landing?
>>520931007It's a CFS3 mod called Wings Over The Reich. I wouldn't recommend it unless a BOB setting with a dynamic-ish campaign and smart enemy AI really appeals to you. You only get Spitfire Mk1/Mk2, BF109E, Hurricane Mk1, and the P-36.
I'm sad about the razbam situation. they were the only devs who made the effort to make the right amount of training missions for their modules.
>>520930587Pretty much any sim where you are flying formation with AI is going to be like that, you have to fly with other people to get any realism.
>>520931963oh yeah that's been on my radar recentlyapparently the WW1 version is pretty good too but i could never source a cracked version to try them out
>>520932181>you have to fly with other people to get any realism.met some random on a dcs server once and just shot the shit with him while formation flying in Sabres on the way to some ground attack sorties, good fun. beats 1946 missions with my mate who just flies off and does his own thing till he gets shot down. i don't think he's overly patient

>>520937134With the BAT mod probably the most comprehensive WW2 aviation sim out there.Providing you are talking about 1946.
>>520924589I think I might have to actually do this. I've been struggling the whole day and I feel intense dread when I just simply open the xPilot connect dialog.
>>520950874Yeah I can't do it, not without alcohol and I think trying vatsim intoxicated could be a bad idea. I guess I'll be flying ALONE tonight, like always, but I'll pretend there's ATC and I'll be talking to it like I'd be in VATSIM. Fuck my life.
DCS needs a comprehensive "flight school" mode and the M-346 would be the perfect plane for the role.
>>520952137Don't be such a pussy. Just drink a six pack or two, snort some Adderall to keep your edge, and chew a Klonopin to take the edge back off, mix in some Norco for the mood, some ketamine just for fun, and go fly. What are the gonna do, call the FAA?The sins of VATSIM must have been very great for God to inflict a punishment such as you upon them!

One nice feature that every flight sim should be doing: if you use mouse/POV to rotate your view, it alters your eyepoint as you pan, so you can actually look behind you instead of staring at your headrest. First game where I feel like TrackIR isn't actually a major factor in playability.

I was looking for some wallpapers and found this thread. Sadly i dont see much of it anymore. Some of them were straight up naked lol>>>/wg/8099696If I ever own a plane, I'll make sure it has one of them painted on, even if its an old 172

The only thing preventing me from trying VATSIM is the fear of not understanding what the ATC is saying, meaning I can't hear their voice properly due to their shitty mic or accent. This combined with the fact that you have to use your full name when connected, if I could be anonymous I wouldn't have this fear either.
>>521043678Just use fake name, bro.>b-but what if they demand id checkCall them naziniggers or something.Also, ATC usually stick to specific airports, so you can check in observer mode how good or bad it is.
>>521043678vatsim has to be the gayest shit ever. you have a simulator in which you can simulate the best part of flying and some power hungry incels want to simulate the worst aspects of flying
>>521046840What does the ATC side of vatsim even look like? Do they have an ATC simulator? I literally cannot fathom the levels of autism required.
>>521044784Well I've been listening 15mins for now and it doesn't seem too bad. It honestly sounds worse for the ATC because some pilots have absolutely horrible microphones. I don't understand how the ATC can hear them properly.>>521046840>>521047404>worst aspects of flying>levels of autism requiredIsn't VATSIM exactly what /simg/ should be about: simulation? Why would anyone half-ass aviation simulation, what is the point in that? I'm genuinely interested in flying but I don't have money or courage for IRL PPL, so I must breath copium through x-plane and VATSIM.
>>521048350>Isn't VATSIM exactly what /simg/ should be about: simulation?no, what they do is the furthest thing from actual simulation. It's just a less fun gta5 rp server
>>521048412If you want to bait, at least come up with something better.
>>521048475How is it bait? Flight sims are made to simulate flying, not dealing with pissed off virgins who like to larp as ATC wagies. You'll never find actual pilots in vatsims, real pilots if they ever use sims is for wacky shit or practicing landings
>>521048350To be fair I wasn't necessarily calling out levels of autism in a derogatory manner, remember where we are. I just honestly struggle to understand the appeal of LARPing as a wagie, other than maybe you get the power trip of telling other LARPers what to do?
>>521055402>I just honestly struggle to understand the appeal of LARPing as a wagie>other than maybe you get the power tripWhat is there so difficult to understand? People want to be pilots or air traffic controllers or even both, but they can't due to money or medical issues or whatever, so they're happy to pretend being one online with other autists. ATC comms is a huge part of flying IRL and I at least personally feel like the world in X-Plane is very dead and boring without VATSIM. It's an interesting challenge to be an air traffic controller, it may be a wage slave job to someone who does it for a living but as a hobby in a simulated environment with hundreds of sim pilots it can be very interesting and fun.
>>521056029To add to this, something like VATSIM isn't just ATC comms, it also requires you to understand local AIP guidelines, weather conditions and airspace classes, just to name a few. So you must learn to fly a plane like a real pilot.
How am I supposed to make any sense of airspaces if they're this tightly divided and even overlapping (they're 3D, I know)? I find the navigraph maps in general very messy (charts are great though), is there a better visualization tool for this?

VFR circuit practice with the C172. Yes, it was windy and no, I don't have rudder pedals. FUCK
>>521194905Yes, of course. 1975 is shortly after human progress stopped so that we could babysit other races instead.

any good msfs2020 prop airliners mods? like a dash-8 or something?
>>521124923MSFS 2024 is unironically only about 8gb
>>521194905It wasn’t this bad 50 years ago, we were still allowed to have residential streets outside of massive subdevelopments back then.
>>521200778No good turboprop liners unfortunately, the ATR is OK if that’s your thing.The DC-6 is exceptional though.
>>521200737It's out before the real thing. I wonder if the devs even cared about fidelity
>>521206395>Top Mach Studios developed the aircraft using a combination of open-source information, official promotional material, and best-guess engineering to fill in the blanks left by the still largely classified or under-documented systems of the real T-7A.To be fair it sounds like most classified stuff are FMS related, I remember a stream with MilTech talking about how they had to fell in the blanks with a few areas on the C-17 with it.
Either every VFR phraseology guide differs or the phraseology differs between countries. It seems like if I want to fly VFR in VATSIM the whole communication between ATC will be different for each country.......
>>521200737Begone, evil! is that a boom recepticle for the AR?
Are the chuck's bindings for the M2000 good? I even forgot I had bought the module back in the day and want to give it a try.
>>521215382dont bind using someone elses layout, just bind as close as possible to other jets ie. flares are on the same button for every jet, much easier to transition between them
>>521214559The pointy thing on the front is just a pitot tube, the thing on its back is for refuelling I think like the F-22
>>521219913Yeah, those lines made me think of that. Boeing being a 140B dollar company means they can go all out even in a trainer and amortize the costs on other projects
>>521218023Seconding this, but still compromises have to be made here and there depending on how systems are set up in various jets.
>https://youtu.be/dBD1vlIYAwU?t=250some footage of the m346 cockpit in a simulator. also, bump
>>521218023>>521223084Thanks. first impressions are ok. a bit weird but the synthetic runway is cool.
>>521241625Have you bought it or pirated it? If the latter I'm amazed it's already up.
>>521241714Bought it a long time ago on sale but never installed it. I noticed I had it yesterday when installing a campaign for the F-16.
>>521241883Sorry I thought you meant you bought the T-7. The M2000 has loads more sovl than the F-16
>The Sun makes hit piece about how the M-346 is "putin favourite plane">it's a national outrage that they are considering it as a replacement for the RAF and Red Arrows>piece has so much reach that UK Prime Minister has to assure they will not buy itJesus fucking Christ I hate English tabloids so much. What was the point of making such a false article when the RAF already had confirmed the replacement for the Hawk T-1 and T-2 would've been made by Aeralis and if not them still another UK company in order to represent the spirit of the UK aerospace industry?
>>521242309yeah I quoted the wrong post. My bad.
>>521242368>Fury as iconic Red Arrows jets could be replaced by RUSSIAN planes>Defence chiefs are reportedly considering swapping the ageing Hawk T1s - which have been a staple for the famed aerobatic teams - for the M-346. That's it lads, we're at war with Italy.
>>521242368You know the saying... "A Lie Can Travel Halfway Around the World While the Truth Is Putting On Its Shoes"
>>521242747putin on its shoes*
>>521242702They didn't even bother to research why some RAF pilots come to Italy, and even if the Hawk didn't have any issues they would've come anyway since other nato countries send their representations to other NATO countries to improve the collaboration and cooperation between the various air forces. The only country that comes to Italy to train because they don't have a suitable plane at home IIRC is Sweden that signed a 10 year deal.
>>521243587The articles are mental, they don't even mention the plane is Italian. Our tabloids really are shite. Btw the Aeralis looks gay even if it is British.
>>521243745We are making a variant for blind people though which is very progressive.
>>521243745it looks like a mini F-4 which makes it cute. But IIRC Aeralis had since changed the design by a lot. Last plans I saw it looked like a modular Hawk t1. Which would still be still be fine. The real issue would be if a new company like them can manage to deliver them in time. >>521243974I wonder if it's related to the loyal wingman project for the GCAP. A few months ago Leonardo flew one M-346 in the role of mothership for a fleet of virtual drones that were to be the testbed for the GCAP program.
>>521243587>The only country that comes to Italy to train because they don't have a suitable plane at home IIRC is Sweden that signed a 10 year deal.Doesn't Sweden have the Gripen?
>>521244265Yeah looking now it does look better than the stupid stubby design they had before. Could be related to the GCAP, everything is heading towards autonomous planes, I'm not sure what happened the Tanaris that was teased years ago.
>>521245210baby shark doo doo doo
>>521244568The Gripen is a fighter, not a trainer.
We should return to side by side trainers for the sovl
>>521245451>hey bro, that's my stick!
>>521234116I think I found your youtube account lmao
>>521244265I prefer pink aeralis but this is fine too.
>>521234116We're getting completely cucked by the Italians, tbf the T-45 is pretty old now
>>521246845From what I heard it's either the T-7 or the T-50 that is going to be chosen.
>>521246991South Korea are doing well with their defence industry and seem to make some good stuff, they had a big stand at DSEI the other year
>>521246991Seeing the high amount of crashes the USN had in the T-45 due to compressor stalls and birdstrike the 346 could have a chance if they push from the safety angle. But even if false the moment a politician will hear "russian plane" everything will go to waste.
>>521247904>compressor stalls and birdstrikeIt's a feature, good for training
>>521248183great for culling the weak. A pilot should be able to fly his plane with the power of his farts alone.

>>521341627>Derail Valley is on version 0.99.2Release soon then hopefully and I'll buy it
I feel like an absolute failure and human trash. I have not been able to do a single flight in vatsim, every time I try the ATC vanishes before I can get started. I've done all the research and I know what to do but I cannot find one single simple controlled airport without too much traffic where I could practice. How can I fail this hard, I don't know, maybe I am too autistic and I take it too seriously. Every single time there is a huge setup just to get familiar with one airport and to get ready to request taxi for vfr circuits.
>>521350423you need a shrink, dude
>>521350423You ever watch those YouTube videos of a pilot absolutely shitting the bed with their interaction with ATC? Think of your near-fuguee VATSIM experience as a "what if" training scenario for the tower jannies, I'm sure they will appreciate the opportunity more than you imagine.Or just switch to DCS where you don't have to ask permission for every little thing you do in the air like some cucked imitation of a man.
>>521352663Idk man, I am tired of trying. I can't go fly into just any country, I can't stand nor understand the accents bongs have, for example. So I'd prefer to fly in my own country, but it does not have great ATC coverage. I guess I'll just have to wait for the opportunity, but it's tiring to setup my joystick and whatnot and file a flight plan, etc, every time, just to connect to the network to see the ATC vanished 5 seconds ago.
>>521350423It's just a game mate, chill out and don't worry if you make mistakes it really doesn't matter, what's the ATC going to do? They'll most likely correct you and help you out.
>>521353767>I can't stand nor understand the accents bongs haveWhat are you, a jeet?
SayIntentions ATCbots are always there for meThey never abandon meThey understand meThey're my friends
>>521242368Publishing an article like that only days after the RAxFT flyover over Rome is honestly disgusting. The Sun are a bunch of libshits who hate our armed forces but like to larp as patriots the moment they can grift and make a penny on it.

The mirage is quite easier to fly formation and refuel with compared to the other modules. but the ins bombing is giving me an headache.
https://msfsaddons.com/2025/04/11/sim-skunk-works-brings-its-siai-marchetti-sf-260-to-msfs-2024/346 lad do you know anything about this plane?
>>521393874>https://youtu.be/aEZ1FDvQFXA?si=Ktf1P7IwlkBrngutYeah, it's a lovely prop trainer. One of, if not, the most successful (post ww2) planes we had having sold around 900 worldwide. I've flown in the EA version IRL once.
Just got done with a very long and fun flight
>>521411257Nice
>>521411257And where did you fly?
>>521375959The INS bombing is kinda fun to learn and get your head around but then I just went back to CCIP and very very fast. But yeah I agree, I reckon it's the easiest jet in the game to refuel.
