I remember playing this game, I don't remember much more but I do remember doing it a long time ago.
You know, after 500 hours of single player, I think the spares are starting to grow on me.
>>519947674Which one of them do you think drops thw soap? And which one is on their talil when they do?
>>519950241>And which one is on their talil when they do?Definitely Champ.
>>519945789A good friend gifted it to me because he heard it has had, thanks gamespy co-op, but it's honestly better than HAWX. The only things that really let it down are>the sheer jank of the control scheme>my controller doesn't work half the time>the occasional bullshit where they spam J-10s with hard-hitting missiles at you
>>519956465Can't you lan it? I remember doing that to play SWAT 4 with my friends.
legacy bug is my planefu and it's sad that superbug has replaced it in everything
>>519958821That's not true, it's fighting Rafales and SU-30SMs in War Thunder with the Super nowhere in sight.
>>519959286i don't really consider war thunder a game for jets

I learned something while playing Air Combat yesterday. My wingman decided to break off and go attack a different objective he was overwhelmed and shot down. To which I heard Pheonix say a very rare line of Oh no wingman down.>wingman does not respawn I'm down one pilot till I clear this run.

>>520090265I want that as a skin for Rafale in 8
>>520119993Last time he changed his account to look like Bamco's, so I'm guessing he did the same for this one but we missed it.
>>519977827>The F-107 was never given an official name, but was sometimes informally called the "Super Super Sabre"
So right now Boeing's CEO is being grilled on how they plan to unfuck themselvesThink it can happen or will LM just gobble them up?
>>520130032>will LM just gobble them up?Short of Boeing doing a 9/11 out of sheer quality control failures, I don't think it'll happen even on the medium term.
>>520130032There's no shot of a LM/Boeing merger, Anti-Trust would shut it down in a heartbeat. Both combined would hold a massive monopoly over DoD aircraft contracts. Like, all fighter aircraft contracts would be held by one company, with the potential exception of F/A-XX going to Northrup Grumman.Boeing would have to be buried below the gutter before something like that could happen.
>>520105306Buddy your porn?
>>520134339I bet you believe in trickle down economica and think the law applies equally to everyone too
AMRAAMS on Mars
>>520136126Hope they announce the AMRAAM E at Summer Games Fest.
>>520135748Nah I've always kept my nose clean about that stuff. First, I don't do horny on main. Second, I ain't risking it. Anyway, the issue resolved itself after a few hours, but that doesn't make up for scaring the fuck out of me.
>>520136126>AMRAAMS on MarsGood good when she gets isekai'd again she can bring a whole new level of fear to her foe's on sky world.
>Pick something random to listen to for a bit>PS1 remix set for 2+ hours>The image and names changes but it all sounds like AC3 music with a little bit of Ridge Racer mixed in.This was a good random pickhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Do5_wU9X1pc
>>520134339>>520136014NTA, but it's not about "I bet you think the law applies equally to everyone too". Having too few aircraft manufacturers would be risky as fuck for the armed forces, because that means an increased chance of getting lemons instead of capable combat aircraft. If you're the only company that can be relied upon to make a new plane, then the USAF and USN can only raise their hands in defeat when your option isn't good enough. Imagine if the ATF or JSF weren't competitions, and only had a single entrant: wouldn't it be worrying to strategic planners? Corps can get away with a ton of things in the US, but the armed forces draw the line when the really important shit downright doesn't work - because they have the option to choose someone else.
What is this shit?
>>520157553The ATD-0 looked cute.
i think they should do some ww2 shenanigans
>>519957370Turns out it doesn't have LAN at all.

>>520142907Meanwhile, the space industry. Turns out if you lobby hard anough a monopoly is easy, your CEO might even get to run the government as a bonus!
>>520174815Some monopolies are just because you’re better than literally every other company in the industry

And that complete my hard run in AC1 that I never got around to doing until now. Level select is now unlocked.
I notice the Jane game on steam is on sale, is it worth a try despite the negative reviews?
>>520205967It's probably worth at least 1 afternoon of entertainment, ask yourself how much that's worth, if you're bored and don't have anything else to do then go ahead I suppose.
>>520205967After looking at some of the review they all are bitching that its not sim enough and to arcade likePlus its on sale $1.49 I might just pick it up myself for that cheap.
>>519944401Bump
>>520199772>>520200104Representing stealth with big coats is really clever.
>>520136797can't help but read your posts in champ's voice
>>520205967it's honestly a pretty fun game, if a bit lackluster in some aspects even when you compare it to hawx. though, control-wise, it's a lot better than hawx.just think of it as discount ace combat. it's honestly quite fun and listening to control and razor's banter is really endearing.maybe one of these days i can spend the time to figure out how to get that gamespy emulator working...

>>520243997Swapping out an engine for a plane isn't a simple thing like a car it requires a ton of work. Sometimes a complete redesign
>F-16>Cyrillic markings
>>520256296Bulgarian F-16V arrived yesterday.
you ever think about that shit
>>520259897Yes sometimes I think about the bizarre proof of concept planes that get built to test out ideas for a new plane. Then wonder how many people scream aliens if they happen to see it flying.
>>520260182there's gotta be likea lot of experimental one-off things that never get disclosedbecause they're just jank as hell
Then sometimes the final version of the plane looks just as odd and alien as the proof of concept planes.
and then the alien plane gets shot down by the serbians
>>520266328It' the cycle of life. The fearmongering from the shootdown feeds the lobbying for the next project.
Have Blue >
the F-117 and B-2 being painted black have been a disaster for the general public's understanding of radar stealth
>>520268741This is all the average person knows of when you say stealth plane.
Reminds me of a quote by a French General, when asked about his tactics
>>520268741>Just use an optical camera bro>Hook an AI to it and it'll see it>What the FUCK is a horizon?
>>520277186Which one?
Did a Mirage ever fly with this camo?
>>520283973Not sure this is the closest I could find
>>520266328And then they think that it got shot down because of some technical fault, instead of a tactical blunder, and they overcompensate with the most overwhelmingly untouchable aircraft of the following four decades.
>>520283973I've never been able to find something that resembles it properly, my guess is that AC5 just had a lot of "fictional" or inspired by other plane camos, unlike ACZ where most of them where a reference to something, or re-used from AC5

Gotta love the Wedgetail.
>>520310701I love Cold War era concept art it full of so much soulSo this is what lost to the C-5 huh

>>520273161awacs is kinda perverted when u really think about it....
>>520283973>>520319824>>520293519Do we have a tank scale modeling autism general anywhere? Might be the best place to ask
HD HUD looks nice this will make for a good run.
>>520332139I'll try asking at any of the threads that look related in /toy/, if not maybe someone in /k/ knows the pattern.
>Playing Northern Eye 2 F-16 spawn in front of the sun. >I can see the target boxes just barely >Lock onto the one on the left and double tap>He evades the missiles>His wingman completely clueless takes one missile to a non critical areaOk the video capture still shows scan lines eh its 2004 just assume your watching the video on a CRT screen.
>>520310701those guys are fucked lmao
>>520342646But you gotta give them some credit for the extra mile they went to come up with a fictional Soviet stealth bomber just to sell you on how good the missile is.
>>520307896She's a very nice aircraft. Apparently even USAAF AWACS operators were feeling a bit jealous when they got a look at it. I can only imagine that the pilots especially would like to fly something that doesn't have a giant rotating disc fucking with the flight profile.
>>520344598How does it affect flight performance? It probably generates a bit of lift, but I doubt the rotation is fast enough to do amything. At worst it might make the plane want to yaw along with the rotationa tiny bit but I imagine FBW can easily correct for that. And the disc is off when landing and taking off, so it's not like it'll ever mess with complicated maneuvers
>>520254107i know, but you can't fly gripens without engines, and americans seem very hell-bent on being as retarded as possible. the future of the gripen lies on whether or not they can get them re-engined with something non-american.
>Beat PW on hard>Pretty easy campaign>Only time I died was when I crashed through the clouds like a retard>Immediately boot up Mercenary difficultyHoly shit, this is like a different game.
I wish for an ace combat game where your run a mercenary company
Any flanker aficionados around? Have some questions about a variant I hadn't heard of, Su-27UP. No, not Su-27PU (or Su-30), Su-27UP.From what I can gather they're a subvariant of Su-27UB used as interceptors, (which, annoyingly, is the same use case as the PU/30). At first I thought it was a typo. There's basically jack all English sources on the matter though, and it only really comes up in articles related to the Ukrainian Flanker fleet (Pic related is one, apparently).
choppers are weird creatures when you think about it
>>520385040Can't find any proper info on it, might not even be real. Zero mentions in Sukhoi book too.
>>520375854And here is the catch on that unless they make Gripen 100% homegrown down to every last nut and bolt they always have that problem hanging over them. As does anyone else who has and sells planes to export even the US.Its just part of how it works and its not just planes we've seen the Swiss pull the same dumb shit with you can't use that to fight with in Ukraine because it has something we made in it so its off limits.Unless Gripen is 100% homegrown then they always run the risk of someone going I don't like that country you can't sell this weapon to them with my stuff in it.
>>520374829
>>520385040>>520388034There's a whole bunch of similar cases of fictional Flanker variants all over the net. Another one that comes to mind is the Su-35"UB". Many different websites talk about it, but there's never an actual source cited.
>>52039238035UB was an attempt to sell a plane to Koreans in their F-X programme. In fact it was one singular 30MKK with canards.
>>520385040I really don't think this is anything special, I think UP and PU is just a way to differentiate that the twin seater base production Flanker may have different developments compared to the Ukranian one. And, Flankers are Flankers I don't think they would be locked to a certain role (coming to mind, the F-15E recently being used in full air to air configurations with no CFTs)
>>520379525Mercenary is how I learned why PW flares are on a cooldown rather than a limited number per mission. Also why they function as a magic "make missiles go away" button rather than how flares actually work
>>520383204Ace Combat Peacewalker
>>520402064Utterly ignorant but earnest questions>dude(s) squat beneath the plen>then run and sit on a thing?Why? Actual purpose or for video's sake somehow?
>>520404768presumably they're checking to make sure everything is attached properly to the phantom and/or the catapult, and then sitting on the thing is so they don't get blown on their ass and potentially off the deck by the jetwash
>>520407365Makes sense to me. Would I be wrong to assume this was also a visual confirmation every one had fucked off from the path?Anyway, thank you buddy
>>520410073yeah it hasn'tthe update's supposed to include new planes
>>520410073>>520412486For me it's the fucking artbookThey're not gonna release it, will they?
>>520410337Almost certainly, given the angle
>>520379525damn, i'm a shitter and thought normal was pretty hard
i wish ac7 had a photo mode
>>520421854I don't think there's a big difference between Normal and Hard. Early Mercenary may as well be a different game.
>>520421854Merc is odd the first couple of missions are much harder than the rest until you fight C1 at which point he figures out hey this railgun has a fullauto function instead of the semiauto he's been using.
>>520428549>>520435361i just don't think i can handle to do the tunnel run or the last fight without getting dunked on on harder difficultiesi tried merc for shits and giggles and got shat on by the aa in the first mission so i'm a gigabrainlet
>>520439072The first few missions of merc pretty much expect you to use the PWMK 1. You can do it with /ourplane/ & the guns guns guns planeOnce you hit M4 you can start taking other higher end planes and be fine.Tunnel run will be fine once you exit hit the gas and pop flares then play as normal.
>>520443312darn, i was hoping you didn't have to use the good planes
>>520445217I got through the first 4 missions with the non trainer phantom so it isn't impossible, it is hard and sometimes tedious though. You can also use any of the rebalance mods to make earlier planes more competitive.
>>520445217You're kinda stuck in PW because of the lack of high G turns and the need to choose between flares and AoA. While Mercenary in the F/D-14 or F/E-4 is probably doable, it's going to take a really fucking long time because you'll need to kite every engagement so hard to avoid getting overwhelmed with your lack of agility.
>>520445663NTA but I attempted a few levels on merc in the F-14 didn't go well
>>520394218It also flew for a couple of years with the Russian Knights around the early 00s. Dunno if they parked it at Zhukovsky after that.
>>520379525>>520428549Most normal Indonesian/Australian game design.
At least nobody is stupid enough to cancel F-35 orders with all this tariff talk.
>>520450664Honestly you would be stupid if you did. Sure the US is kind of fucked up right now but we still have and are selling the best fighter on the market anything else available is a large down grade.Plus anyone who has already signed on for them if they did cancel it would be 10-20 years before they could get something else in use. Not to mention all the money that would be wasted from getting ready for F-35 is no more now we have to turn around and get ready for something else entirely different and spend even more money on getting ready for it.
>>520449370Mercenary makes more sense as an 'Ace of Aces' equivalent than an Ace difficulty equivalent, but it doesn't help that the changes to the campaign are so front loaded.
>>520452538I hope Kono took notice of that and will add something similar to that. Shame 7 never got it post-launch.
>>5204531987 lacked a lot of things that 6 had.
>>520453198The DLC missions felt like a good step up in difficulty from the base game, but yeah a proper Ace of Aces mode for the main campaign would've been great. I guess PC players have various mods, but I've heard conflicting reports on how well balanced/designed they are.
>>520458280pepsi phantom...

>>520483101Calmest day in Farbanti
>>520483101Cool, another artist to follow>This is what FALKEN pilots look like
>>520403652Yeah, I switched back to flares shortly after posting that and it got normal again. I finally got a new plane after sticking with the F-14 for my entire first run and wanted to try out the AoA limiter but it feels like you get swarmed by so many missiles that it's just suboptimal and ends up feeling kind of annoying to use in comparison. Also, holy shit, the SP-34 is so fun. First time I used the gun put a smile on my face and it didn't go away for the entire mission.
>>520498582Guns in PW are so satisfying to use compared to AC7s peashooters. You can amp the fun by using the double damage modifier and melt everything with a short burst, don't even get me started on shotgun pods vs anything in a cone in front of/near you, add to that that bullets travel a really long distance and you have the recipe for a good time.
>>520503671Doesn't hurt that PW's gunsight actually works to predict a target's location, instead of being a glorified gyro gunsight from WW2.
>>520421854How? Even if you're shit at guns, you still have:>Unlimited flares that clear EVERY SINGLE missile on your tail REGARDLESS OF RANGE on a 5-6 seconds cooldown>Health and ammo counts based around Merc difficulty instead of the regular game (you have enough ammo to wipe some maps twice, it takes 5 easily avoidable missiles to shoot you down, AA only deals 2 (two) points of damage per hit and can be evaded by >climbing above 5000 feet)>MLAGs, which can wipe out 4 to 8 targets from well outside SAM and AA targeting range>SAAs, which are a guaranteed kill on anything that isn't a boss when fired from medium range and above>MLAAs, which completely neutralize airships from the same distance as MLAGs>The AoA limiter, which becomes an instant "I win the dogfight" button the moment you figure out it should be used offensively rather than defensivelyI get struggling with Kings, it's a big difficulty spike. But the rest of the game?
>>520507820Flanker, you've been playing for years and years against anything from HVAAspam to PSM tryhards. Maybe that anon has started only recently.
plens?
>>520522898not real
>>520402291>And, Flankers are Flankers I don't think they would be locked to a certain role.They actually were, for a time. Su-27P is an interceptor subvariant of the first serial production Flankers. They had all the Air-to-Ground provisions of the Su-27S stripped out, and were dedicated solely to border defence with the V-PVO. Su-27PU / Su-30 was also focused on the Intercept mission.
>>520483101Hmm nice find
>>520498582>SP-34 is so funIt really is the speed mixed with an all gun setup makes for some fun just be careful not to crash into the water with playing with the guns.......And give the all guns Su-25 a run as it carries various gunpods you can create an all gun mix you like.In case you didn't know the heavy gun pod has a much longer firing range than what your gunsite tells you. To figure this range out you just have to practice on ground targets to see how far it really shoots. The rapid gunpod also does the same but range a little harder to figure out due to how it fires.
>>520525638>crash into the water with playing with the gunsfeel like this is a rite of passage

>>520529534Hey I've played this game before. It's like the platonic ideal of a 5/10 game you get because it's cheap, even has missions where you fly a bomber. It doesn't quite control like Ace Combat though, it plays more like the Easy Mode control scheme with janky movement.>>520544861Funny part is that one of these planes has a giant shotgun as a fixed gun lmao.
>>520507820well, it's pretty simple reallyi'm retardedi also may or may not have discovered that flares were a thing only after completing the campaignbut it was mostly kings i had trouble with>>520508572sadly i've played ace combat for years but am just a shitteri have never progressed in multiplayer beyond "hurrrr turn in the direction the enemy is"i'm just a drooling neanderthal who really just likes to look at planes doing plane things
>>520544861Oh it gets better the bomber has 4 guns all 4 are homing shotgun. It works like the OSL in 3 as soon as you get a lock at any range just hit circle and it dies. Plus they gave it the sound effect of a pump action shotgun.>>520546943I thought I was the only one here who ever played it or knew it existed.Yeah it one of those get it out by Christmas games that cost like $15 and was about 75% finished. It was alright but unfinished. I picked it up in a stocking stuffer game shipper before Christmas.>Enemy ace squad appears>Didn't program them beyond fly this ring path and do not change course.>Shoot them all down by simply flying in the other direction.Fully animated in game comms but no animated cutscenes between missions the in mission ones were done in game.
>>520549968It feels like a smaller dev team wanted to make their own anime bullshit plen game but didn't have the budget to do it properly. I respect it honestly.
>>520549676Do you hold triangle while dogfighting?
>>520556779....no
>>520557869You should, it focuses the camera on the enemy, not only is it easier to keep track of but you actually see where he is going, making it easier to get behind them. After that simply by playing you'll begin to move in more efficient interception patterns and develop well known and practiced combat maneuvers by instinct.

I beat the AC3jp campaigns twice over in the past weeks and for the life of me I can't figure out which fucking mission I still have only a B rank inI don't to play it all over again and do the same thing I did when I was a kid, being copying the list of all of the missions from the gaming magazine I had that had an AC3jp walkthrough and also write down whatever rank I got into them so that I wouldn't have to play the campaign for the 4th time) I'm just curois to see if 100%ing the game unlocks all of the "exclusive" stuff from the deadcopy save, as far as I remember it actually does, you're supposed to get the Night Raven and also liveries you'd never have access to during normal play, like Rena's Flanker, all of Cynthia's liveries, and also planes like the General Resource F/A-18I, the F-16XF, Neucom's R-101 and R-201, and so onthe fact the japanese version of AC3 doesn't have an so to say unified profile assault record really perplexes me, the export version of it does, even Ace Combat 2 does have something similar
Does Frontline 59 expect you to remember a lot of Project Wingman's lore and story? I don't remember many specifics of the base game. Do I need to replay it and refresh my memory before playing the DLC?
>>520572528not reallyyou're flying for the other side in it
>>520571067I'll save you the effort it doesn't do that that was the whole point of PA releasing the dead copy it allowed you to access stuff you cannot unlock via normal gameplay or 100%All 100% does is give you the OSL and allows you to have the Night Raven and Aurora on the same save but thats all it gives.But the weapons you can just use a simple cheat while the mission loads to use it or the plasma missiles from the space plane anytime you want..
>>520572528Only keep in mind these points>you're a fed>Driver owns 50% of Magadan's speeding tickets in total>you start around a few hours after Cold War (Showdown)
>>520572528You only need to know 2 thingsYour the baddieYou MUST take EyeeTee on the tunnel mission with you.
>>520577413thanks, I may 100% the game while keeping a list later on just to doublecheck, because I clearly remember 100%ing the game does unlock the unique Neocom, GR and Ouroboros planes. does 100%ing the game by chance also unlock the Night Raven and Ouroboros search engine entries?something that always perplexed me about deadcopy is the myth that used to float about that claimed it was the only way to have access to the Night Raven in the japanese version of AC3, while that clearly never was the caseI also remember a myth that claimed it's impossible to get an A rank on Radio Silence on some copies of AC3, that also apparently only ever was a myth and nothing more
>>520582002I would check myself but the JP unlock seems to be missing on gamefaqs now and trying to find it elsewhere in English seems to be a lost cause. Beyond the stuff I have already said.Are you sue your not confusing stuff with the US version of the game? US version 100% givesSuper planesOSLCan only be used in the simulator tabJP 100% givesSuper planesOSLPlanes who show up in 2 or 3 groups UPEO, GR, Nucomm & Ourborros skins are usable as you can use them in the main game anyway depending on the route you took.Deadcopy allows forAll planes can be accessed even ones you can't use at any point in the main game can now be usedIts the only way to have access to the Dision, Rena and Cynthia skins.
>>520587026>Are you sue your not confusing stuff with the US version of the gamenope>Deadcopy allows for>All planes can be accessed even ones you can't use at any point in the main game can now be used>Its the only way to have access to the Dision, Rena and Cynthia skins.bullshit, I have those even on my 99% save, as a matter of fact even the exclusive Neucom R101, GR F-16XF, the Ouroboros Su-43 and R-103 and so in are there too, even the Aurora is there, the only things that are missing are the Night Raven and the OSLfeel free to download my memory card and see for yourself https://files.catbox.moe/j3zetb.mcr
>>520590515btw if you're using duckstation you can just rename it to "duckstation_shared_card_2.mcd" and it will load just fine
>>520590515And you never once d/l and merged the deadcopy? Or started with a save from somewhere but all your current save is 100% your own work?If I'm wrong I'm wrong so what I already told you the JP info is gone from gamefaqs now and finding it elsewhere in English came up zlitch beyond saying the same stuff I just said. Trying to find unlock info on a 26 year old JP only game is next to impossible.
>>520593718I made a deadcopy save but my Nemo account is 100% my own work, and no, none of the deadcopy unlocks carry over to the other accountsI'm nearly certain playing all of the missions the simulator only planes like picrelated, getting an A rank in Geopelia unlocks the XR900, getting an A rank in all of the missions where you kill Dision unlocks the Aurora, while getting and A rank in all the missions unlocks the Night Raven and the OSLwere I not in bed I'd search for a 100% file copy pasting a google translated query, you may actually find a 100% file that way
>>520594636*unlocks the simulator only planes
>>520594636https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps/196536-ace-combat-3-electrosphere/saves2 100% files along the deadcopy those I can find just fine and easy. Info for what to do not so much unless you look into JP sites for it.
>>520549676"hurrrr turn in the direction the enemy is" has won me a decent number of rounds desu

>>520603369the one further back is actually a really big plane that's very far away
>>520603369They just do, got nothing else to do so might as well learn how to do it.

i wish planes were real
>>520596076same, which makes me confused what that actually beatspeople who actually know what they're doing > hurrrrrrr turn in the direction the enemy is > people who think they know what they're doing but don't actually know what they're doing
>>520503671Oh yeah, they're much better even aside from the SP-34. For the SP-34, I feel like I'd barely notice double damage, it already deletes everything just tapping the triggers. I was also amazed at how well shotgun pods could just melt ships too when I finally gave them a real try. >>520525638>the heavy gun pod has a much longer firing rangeI noticed but I'm not very good at taking advantage of it...I gotta say though Mercenary is really disappointing past the first few missions. I know it's like a two man dev team and they likely bit off a bit more than they could chew trying to revamp the game for it but I honestly couldn't tell you if any missions in the latter half even change aside from Kings. It feels like there was some obvious chances to at least throw in a land battleship here and there and Crimson Squadron definitely should have had backup in your last fight with them. I guess there's still modifiers at least.
>>520595972thanks, I'll give it a look later
this skin looks really coolhttps://www.nexusmods.com/acecombat7skiesunknown/mods/3107
>>520619445I feel that being predictable is the biggest killer in MP, so I never keep turning to where the enemy is in the same way for too long
>>520663985so cool how the RCS thrusters on the micro missiles are actually depicted
>>520664919The sort of crazy shit that got Itano noticed at Sunrise.
>>520664919Bubble era anime nothing will ever be like it again. Plus this is from DRYL so bubble era movie they went the extra mile.
>>520595972I checked that filethe unlocks seem to be the same as my file more or less, as in the Night Raven is missing, the OSL is there and three files, the one about the Night Raven, the one about Ouroboros and the one about the DOE project facility are still classifiedI also did a quick search in japanese, I can't find shit since google translate's syntax is probably wrong
i can't decide between the draken and the phantom as my planefuhurts that the last time i played the draken was infinity though

I started playing Frontline 59. There's so much screen tearing and the game keeps freezing for a second before starting again. Did the DLC or an update make performance worse?

>>520682883They don't know it, but that Eagle could take on all of them at once and win
>>520682135Turned it on and off, and changed FPS cap. Didn't do anything.
>>520684541There's a Rafale and a canard-equipped Flanker in there, those are pretty scary in WVR fights

>>520682883
F-35's in an aggressor livery. Neat.
>>520686095The Rafale pilot is French, meaning it would act smug and let the Eagle get to BVR range to give them "a fighting chance". And the canard Flanker's pilot sold most of the hydraulic fuel for krokodil
>>520580391Died a few times, but I just finished that mission now. Bringing the WSO was amusing. At the end, my tail fins and the camera itself kept clipping through the ceiling, which was kinda scary. Glad we got a proper tunnel run in the DLC.
bump
>>520687987Out of the 1000+ F-35 built those are the only 2? 4? to not be painted shades of grey.>>520690703Yeah its bad camera placement as you noticed when you crash in most areas the camera just goes outside the tunnel and you can see part or all the level from an OOB view>>520681095That happened to me as well but it was only on the very edge of the screen. You can do two things that should fix or at least reduce itUpdate your graphic cards driver. And if you can update your CPU's chipset driversIf that don't work just turn the clouds off
>>520709390you can't see the others because of the stealth
>>520682883Shame is Greece is perma-broke all the time. Aegean Ghost on a Advanced Eagle could permanently cure depression!
>>520686560Greece retired all the BG/EG Mirages when the Rafale took their place. Most likely a two seater -5.
>>520717447unfortunately if they ever stopped being broke then the phantom is gonna go bye bye
>>520720748Being broke has little to do with that one way or another Phantom is gonna go bye bye just from old age.
I just learned the hard way that airships have a bigger hitbox than their actual model
>>520725031They are in the older games which one did you crash into? 1, 5, 0, 6 or JA?
>>520725484I meant Project WingmanI was passing close to one and suddenly exploded. I'm certain I didn't actually touch it

>>520726252>Galm Team, missions 13 to 17
>>520725795Oh yeah they are a little funky as depending on where you pass you can die or be safe and the case of larger ones you can fly between the wings. Hitbox is odd on airships in that game. Its as funky as the hitbox on the airship in AC1
>>520732873who's this supposed to be?
>>520733974It's in the file name.

>>520737463You should, it's great, it has my favorite underground section.
>>520737463You should its fun + the boss battle is more fun and more epic than C1 fight.
>>520726252probably not terribly helpful but i was in japan a few months ago and there were loads of the f-4 anniversary and f-14 razgriz onesi didn't buy any even though i was sorely tempted
>>520725795i have been killed more times in conquest by friendly airships than anything elsethey constantly "help" you following you so whenever you do any heavy maneuvering they're in the way
>>520740027IMO conquest mode in its current state sucks because it's just everyone on the map (friend and foe) dogpiling on your position.
Never saw the point of conquest to be honest, without a narrative to hold the gameplay together it falls apart quite quickly, it happens to most modes like it too so it's not a Project Wingman problem, more of a concept problem.
>>520738960>>520739128joystick died, so I can't really play plen games till I buy a new one. I only come to this general because it's the best place to discuss plens...
>>520741193It's interesting as a sort of infinite survival mode, but like Mercenary difficulty it feels like it's solely balanced around the superplanes.
>>520742938>It's interesting as a sort of infinite survival modeThat's the problem, those aren't particularly interesting after a while unless they're actually well designed instead of being kinda tacked on, and most aren't.
>>520741193It's not too different from replaying missions while skipping cutscenes
>>520744197Conquest would work better if, instead of spamming enemies, each stage had a small but difficult encounter, more like a boss rush. But you'd need some sort of warning in advance so you know what to bring.
>>520748127Do you think the gnome that lives inside the intake is good-natured? or does he play tricks and pranks on the pilots and ground crew?
>>520751815>gnome>good natured
>>520752114but surely he wants the crew to do well so his home doesn't get destroyed by a missile? Maybe if they leave offerings for him every night he will place a fey blessing on the engines

>>520740789Dogpiling you doesn't make for a very fun experience.
>>520766587It would be okay if the enemy AI had an engagement range before they tried to engage you, but everyone is pointing in your direction as soon as the mission starts. If PW had AC7 style stealth mechanics then stealth aircraft with less hard points would have a tangible advantage over the balls-to-the-wall F/S-15.

>>520680054and/or starting a fire in the toilet after eating what was in that microwave
Just so I get this right...Cascadia caught wind of the Cordium Nukes and invaded Magadan to stop the feds producing them. It's explicitly stated that the CIF spend most of the occupation destroying Cordium production facilities and stockpiles, and 'Faust' takes place moments before 'Consequence of Power'. You can even see the missiles before the mission endsI remember a lot of people being confused as to why the CIF would occupy Magadan when FL59 released. To me, a raid on Magadan to try and stop the feds pulling a Belka is the only thing that makes sense.
>>520801523>to stop the fedsYou got it wrong buddy, it was to force the Federation's hand and to make sure the explosion caused by the warheads would reach critical to relive the Calamity.>destroying Cordium facilities/stockpilesIt is also stated during one of the missions that any Cordium spilled back into the Earth's mantle would pop out somewhere else, and with Magadan's entire Cordium production halted/destroyed it caused the ring of fire to reignite when the warheads hit Prospero.
the idea of long range fox-2s gives me a uniquely unsettling feeling
>is there any ac8 news yet?no
>>520809634one minute you're there doing your combat air patrol or whatever, the next minute you're not. no rwr alert or anything. seems pretty alright to me.
>>520809634>>520832523always seemed weird to me that the floggers had their IRST under the noseI guess the intended use was for shoot-down to make up for the lack of PD radar, but the idea of lurking around on the deck and flinging IR-guided telephone poles at overflying planes is kinda terrifying, especially back in the 70s (IIRC the later floggers could also do ranging off of the IRST using a low power low repetition radar pulse that wouldn't set off RWR)
>>520836546it's cute how the Orgoi's insane maneuverability is basically just PA canonizing a bughttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4suDVMtcbic
>>520848701That wasn't a bug that was just Belken pilots at the helm.
>>520724446Not having a official Cipher skin for the Morgan is honestly criminal.>>520727548PA should make Su-37 -Cipher- canon considering how most people completed their first runs with the Terminator and how a lot of contenr creators used it for their Zero content.
>>520852730Yes it isI didn't complete my first run with an Su-37 I hadn't even bought it on my first run. Cipher will always a 2 plane pilot Draken & F-15C
>>520853471I don't consider the Draken canon.

>>520854570the Su-37 has less going for it being one of Cipher's canon planes than the Draken though
>>520855315So do the F-5 and F-1 as fellow starters. They did it because he's the only protag without a true canon starter.
>>520856005>So do the F-5 and F-1 as fellow startersit's the only starter that received a special variant directly named after Cipher in Infinity.>but anooon, Infinity is an entirely separate continuity, that means nothing!it's direct meta acknowledgement from PA that the Draken is associated with Cipher.it isn't an outright statement that Cipher canonically flew a Draken in Zero, but it gives a lot more credence to the idea.>They did it because [...]neither you nor I actually know why they did it because they never said why they did it."they did it because he's the only protag without a true canon starter" is speculation as valid as "they did it because it's Cipher's canon plane"
>>520806839>and to make sure the explosion caused by the warheads would reach critical to relive the CalamitySo Cascadia wanted their own land to be obliterated?
>>520856952
>>520801523>>520806839>>520857376I haven't played FL59. Does it actually devolve into 'Cascadia were in the wrong, Feds dindu nuffin'?
>>520860350The Feds were always the good guys
>>520860350Your playing for the baddies of course you'll hear plenty of fed propaganda especially during the tunnel mission.
>>520861078That was really on the nose propaganda though, not honestly trying to make players love the Federation.
>>520857376I see it more as the Cascadians showing the world how far the Feds will go to remove any resistance see the Oceania conflict, while most of it was swept under the rug and publicly announced as a suppresion of hostile mercenaries Faust mentions that the Cascadian unit had to do most of the unsavory missions and how she pretty much made an entire continent starve among other things; The Feds triggering the second calamity themselves also grants the Cascadians a valid cassus belli for the entire war and any future conflict.>>520860350The propaganda machine is one scary monster, Magadan is so full of it that they are a prime example of Stockholm syndrome.
Just finished Frontline 59. It was alright. Felt like more of the same content from the base game, but there was some decent variety in the missions. I thought the villain was weak, though. Overall, glad I gave it a shot.
>>520869003But how did you like the final fight?
>>520874031It was good. Died a few times, but I like how it escalated with the giant explosions (which reminded me of Faceless Soldier) and the freakin' laser beams. It was pretty annoying how it makes you fight a few weak scattered enemies before the boss actually appears, though.
>>520875767I died once on that fight got a little to close to the airship while attacking with guns.

Am I doing something wrong to get the ace in AC7 mission 17 (Homeward) to show up? I flew along the whole rail of the mass driver close enough that the “pull up” alarm was going off but he doesn’t show up… tried it a couple of times and no dice. Do you have to do it above a certain speed? Am I just not close enough to it? Am I starting too late on the rail? The SSTOs are kind of in the way at the front, how close do you have to be to them? Am I just retarded?It’s the only ace I don’t have, kind of driving me nuts :(
>>520972156maybe you got him to spawn but missed him? he spawns with the bombers but sort of blends with the mass due to everyone being ID'd as unknwon
>>520970175i just want the gaem to be cool
>>520970175Telekinetic duels between pilots are so lame, bring automated drone swarms beck, they had SOVL
>>520972156No one is really sure of the exact height so get as close as you can without crashing. You have to fly that low over every single pixel of it so start your approach a little ways off and keep on course a few seconds after you leave it in case of any screwy game issues that might prevent it from spawning.He is very easy to miss as you have to scan him like all the other planes in the bomber group.
>>520973331Hmmm… maybe this is the problem, I was still diving into it a bit just after the parked SSTOs, maybe they fully count as part of it? You’d have to get pretty damn close to them though to still be “low” over the rest of the rail, I kind of figured PA wouldn’t make you do it that way, lol.
>>520974020Its a very vague requirement no one is really sure of exact but that is how I did it and it worked so I know it will unlock it for you.
>>520974453Did you do it going fast? I feel like that shouldn’t matter but I was wondering if I just flew too slowly (or too fast and missed part of the curve), I was just moving at “default” speed, not pressing throttle or brake
>>520976664I was to worried about crashing flying that low so I slowed down to base speed and just slow flew the launcher from start to finish.

>>520979090I should be good then, I guess I just wasn’t quite low enough. I figured the pull up alarm going off meant I was within the distance but I can go lower lol.
>>520857957I know Kono doesn't care for Zero, but damn! The Demon Lord deserves better than this ancient SAAB! Nothing screams Cipher about it!
>>520861078>>520862385PW's writing is kinda dogshit after all.
>>520990293Starter plane after all I would assume they didn't want to use F-5 since that was Blaze's starter F-4 is Mobius. Makes a good choice for a starter plane in the mid 90's
>>520991719We don't talk about the F-1. Dunno why they add stuff like the F-8 and Mirage III?
>>520991987F-1 is a ground attacker Cipher is an air to air guy so F-1 doesn't fit him.
Thoughts on the PS2 decompiling tool?
The short nosed Kfir would make for a good starter plane.
>>520993193I keep forgetting the Kfir is a thing.
>>520990293>The Demon Lord deserves better than this ancient SAAB!i will not stand for this slander in the slightestthe draken is fucking rad.
>>520996912The canards really are the missing piece to the early Mirage shape but I doubt they'd be a good fit for a 2000.
>>520997142Not my problem SAAB can't export for shit!
>>520996912I can't forget that one she's in AC2 and its kind of common to see one on flight radarNow if we're talking obscure planes then lets look at another Israeli plane.
when the israelis sold US military tech on the downlow to china, classic
>>521000367What's so obscure about it? Chinks already produced it by the hundreds
>>521000367Speaking of 2. Weird the A-4 never returned or that they never added the A-7 and F-8.
>>521001185And how many people know where the J-10 was copied from? Not many I would guess>>521001518It is but she is also a very old plane the oldest in the series. She was in service before F-104Not counting the WWII planes in Infinity or JA as that was more just bonus planes.
>>521002417They could add a heavily modernized variant like the Kahu or the Singaporean ones
>>521009974love the little shoulder pylons for the sidewinders on the jagwonder if it was a bongjank or francejank idea? (I know the french didn't actually use them, but iirc all of the jags theoretically could fit them)either way very qt
>>521028006it's bong-coded imo
>>520993187I'm not expecting much. The wait before someone ported an AC game from it would probably take quite some time. Same thing with the Xbox 360 decompile tool which came out earlier.
>>521028006The English Electric Lightning also had top-mounted drop tanks
>>521049812Kyoot
Nyroooon
>>521048874...how?
>>521063190cannot believe the coolest photo op went to the crayon eaters
>>521102220Simple British aerospace engineers where batshit insane in those days.America inherited it naturally from their parents.
Ostrich's HD HUD mod now supports Zero, so now the entire PS2 trinity has mostly HD in-mission HUD on emu (5's still missing HD missile/SPW icons due to current PCSX2 limitations, and there's no HD menus or anything for the same reason)https://superostrich.xyz/trilogy
>>521110386Excellent >HD menus Gotta be honest the menu & briefing looks just fine in 4 as it by default. The HUD is what really needed an update since it was always kind of jaggy
Man AC5's target square was so fucking jagged I could barely tell what direction the enemy plane was flying.
>>521109497But how did they drop? Flip the plane?
>>521102220They pitch up when you ditch them
This should be the old bonus plane for 8
>>521085248I think the next game should be about the Tyumen Dispute. The solution with AC is to go backwards instead of moving towards 3.
>>521129167I think thats a terrible idea
>>521129167Only known battle was just two squads fighting each other to the death A very minor war as are most border conflicts
i hope Itomi is the main writer for 8. Katabuchi can't write AC for shit!
>>521009974>>521028006So, it has missiles mounted on top of the wings? Why's that?
>>521137642Not enough wing space for 6 hard points so they had to go somewhere.
>>521000367
>>521001518A-7 only appeared once, as an enemy in AC2>>521110386Hopefully PCSX2 improves it's texture replacement feature, at the moment it's... not great.
>>521155414Did not know their was a J-10 mod in Lavi colors for PW
>>521155414Didn't know there was a J-10 in PW.
>>521156142It was cut from the game, but existed in a near-finished state in the game's fileshttps://www.nexusmods.com/projectwingman/mods/618>>521156013https://www.nexusmods.com/projectwingman/mods/634
>>521155832But you got the HUD to work and that is the important part.
>>521156458Huh, the PW plane list was always pretty weird, even more if you include the cut ones.
>>521156459It really does make the game look at home on a PC; the 3D assets in the PS2 games still look very good.
>>521156746They do sometimes its the small things that work out the best>Cipher stickI know why they did it still funny to see now. As you would never notice it back on the PS2
Someone made a new skin for /Ourplane/ https://www.nexusmods.com/projectwingman/mods/611I like it
>>521159986Will he be alright?
Bump
>>521173862
>>521190360The engine exhausts for this thing are so weird.
Plens have A/C systems right? I imagine they either have their own air intake or take a bit from the engine intakes right? Or do they have some sort of closed loop? Also, when plane cabins are pressurized, does that mean they stop taking in oxygen from the outside as well?
>>521204437It's typically "bleed air" siphoned from the turbine's compressor. The same system also cools the electronics.As for breathable oxygen, most planes nowadays have an OBOGS (On-Board Oxygen Generating System) that collects oxygen from bleed air. Older planes used Liquid Oxygen bottles.
>>521201121Anything to reduce your IR signature. I think it's also the only aircraft with a triangular airfoil.
>>521204437iirc they're usually called something like Environmental Control Systems
>>521197212Lovely to see them leave trails in the skyBut the dog, living at my parents in Lapland, is really scared of them probably thinking it's thunder.

>>521215652Yukikaze's ending is such a great song AGL2 in particular really hits home for me.
8 missiles doesn't seem like enough.
I wish more plens had cute lil mascots like the Spook.
>>520973249>Flankers on a carrier with Raptorschat is this real? where was this pic shot?
>>521231604https://x.com/beverstine/status/1909323086110810219Looks like its an image someone spotted at this years SeaAirSpace event Someone in the Navy is trolling again and not getting fired for it.
C-130 is a strong girl
>>521231604Well now that I think about it those would be Chinese Flankers Russia doesn't have a carrier any longer India doesn't use Su-33's That just leaves one country with Flankers and a carrier.
>>521235156No fucking way a 182 would be so stacked
>>521258719Your looking at it wrong those she is a seaplane so aren't fuel storage those are flotation devices.
>>521211910I keep forgetting that you guys have already begun retiring the Hornets.
>>521156458The PW crew have the weirdest work schedule ever. Outside of FL59 they seem to be scratching their balls.
>>521265678Isn't ir just one guy doing the actual gamedev? Rest of the crew being VAs, music etc
where do all the planes go when its cloudy
>>521285896Stealth dimension of course
>>521285896Into cloud storage
>>521285896
>>521158084It's really damn pretty, and it looks familiar for some reason.
>Another heli crashRemember buddies, if the wings move faster than the fuselage, the you're in a helicopter and therefore in danger>>521325314Well, we designed it out of bits of othwr planes
>>521336094The Tomcat's wings are briefly faster than the fuselage when unfolding midflight.The pilot is about to willingly enter the danger zone.
>>521337913Goose found out the hard way. Fun fact, science has proven 100% of Tomcat pilots will die. Eventually.
this is the shit the belkan special forces gets to shoot
>>521336094I'm talking about the livery, buddy.>we designed it out of bits of othwr planesNah, we voted on options that were presented in an isolated manner. I don't think that's fair
>>521336094rotorcels...
>>521356680
>>521356680ah yesthe infamous variable fighter mode, found standard on all Chinese military firearms.>the "stock" is just a serrated circle that digs violently into your shoulder
