>>540370479I'll take inibuilds over carenado or AH anyday.From that manual it looks pretty decent to me. I've been clamoring for a servicable turboprop airliner for ages now, still aching for an L-188 but this I think might scratch the itch for a while.
>>540371071Carenado stuff, since FSX, has always looked good but have basic systems and fight model. Shame that Microsoft got them to make most of the planes in 2024. AH are just a shitshow, I assume they took on too much work, they may have improved now as I think the Lancaster was well received.

I have Euro Truck Simulator 2 with all DLC.Was wondering what mods you guys think is completely necessary? I don't have any right now. Not interested in map expansion mods or anything like that as I like the vanilla map.
>>540372873Promods expands and improves, it might be worth trying out.
IR lock on a C-130J being simulated inside a TGP simulation inside the ETTS simulation inside a M-346FA during the NA tour after shooting down a simulated SU-27. Yo dawg -cit
>>540375346I've seen a vid somewhere where they restored an original space AGC into an Apollo lander simulator and went through the landing exactly as it did in real life. I wonder what would happen if ED got the original source code for say the Viggen CK37, the LANTIRN, or something as modern as the Gripen source code.
>>540377423>I wonder what would happen if ED got the original source code for say the Viggen CK37, the LANTIRN, or something as modern as the Gripen source code.They would sell it to the Russians or the Chinese. Jokes aside I don't think in terms of sim development they actually care about such codes. Developing for a sim is in my understanding completely different from IRL. An actual TPOD code needs to tackle real life conditions, same with radar waves for a radar lock that aren't as 1 or 0 as a simulated game. Actually being able to play with a tpod would probably help them much more than having to reverse engeneer from a source code.
Winning the USN contest might be the only chance to get the M-346 in DCS in the future.
>>540374383For me it was landing the jets in the carrier dock in BF2
>>540385570The T-45 isn't in DCS thougheverbeit
>>540385889There is a mod at least that is quite good.
>>540385661Kino
>>540372873I like the "real gas stations"/"real gas prices" mods
>>540385889If there is one thing I don't like about DCS, it's the severe lack of trainer aircraft.
>>540407202There are like 6
>>540407202People don't buy them.>>540407286More like 3 IIRC
how do I hit anything with guns using pad in nuclear option
you don't use padsimpul as
>>540409361Have you tried aiming?
>>540411978I did but it just keeps yanking the reticle past the target, then correcting itself back
>>540413307Just use the force
Trvuthnvke of the day: DCS has no soul simply because the most popular servers won't set to night/bad weather, and don't generate missions when you have to bomb an individual building in a city. Also no in-game music or cutscenes make it actually soulless as hell. >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18HCixpohMI

Do you have to target the missile with the jammer in Nuclear Option or just hold it down? I don't think I ever jammed a missile.
>>540420837None of those are trainers though, they are basically just normal aircraft. I want a REAL trainer airplane.
>>540423248Like the yak-130 or the next Red Arrows jet, the T-7
>>540423248>None of those are trainers though

I'm from 20 minutes in the future in an alternate timeline. You're welcome.
>MSFS24 on PS5>Gyro controls
>>540449145Gyro control that's for steering the airplane is very often impractical and gimmicky, Gyro as camera is where the real deal is. Then again, msfs is a game where free look during maneuver is not needed
>>540421757No, just notch the missile (fly perpendicular, there is a HUD indication) and then hit the jammer. It takes about 3 seconds to lose a lock. You DO have to lock on and aim to use the direction jammers on the Medusa.

>>540419087Can't you just host your own game?t. doesn't play DCS
What module does this in DCS? Jeff?
>>540453070lmao
>>540475994I think the jeff SF is only rwr and datalink combined into the SA page.
>>540476462Man, if the Typhoon and F-35 drops one day (ED might still collapse from their own greedy incompetence till them), they'll probably be banned on most PVP servers. Not being able to notch and disappear into the doppler filter, because IRST and datalink is still tracking you is peak cheatmode.
>>540478675>datalinkCan fox 3 be given track data from awacs/datalink?
>>540479627Fox-3 is already a form of datalink, as it receives mid-course updates from the launch aircraft. At this point, I assume it's up to the software/avionics of the launch aircraft whether the mid-course commands are based on information from the aircraft's own radar, or from an external datalink source. I assume on the Typhoon, where there's "sensor fusion" it matters less on what information source the individual track is generated from, as long as it's a solid track.
>>540479627depends on the airframe
>>540482219>Hornetbabies need more meta so we started implementing more OP irl features
>>540482219So we're basically getting stealth amraams at this point
>>540482219I meant more in general, because I saw that pakistani video dunking on the jeets and they showed their jeffs/j10s launching fox3 blind and having awacs then command those missile by giving them steering data. I didn't know if it was possible.

I tought I had intercepted a 6th gen plane but it turned out to be a 5.8th gen.

>>540508991Thankfully Iveco defence got acquired by Leonardo. Iveco civvie was already shit before this so I can't imagine how low they are going to go now that they are jeet owned.
>>540509934Haven't they been seen as the cheap and nasty truck brand for quite a while now?
>>540510510I'm not really into TIR trucks so I don't know, but I've seen at least a couple of memes about them being shit so I guess it's true. Their smaller vehicles were good in my experience, we owned an old Iveco Daily and it's been a beast even after literally rolling down a cliff. And for work I had to sometimes drive a newer C17 which was comfy.

The only long term damage was that it started to wobble at high speeds.I always tought the whole "no safety belt and hand on the door to immediately bolter" on mountain trails to be old people being overtly cautious but it was pretty effective.
>>540482219I guess, I'll just turn my radar off at this point
>>540515442you'll still be detected by awacs
>>540515442If that turns you off imagine once we get the Eurofighter/F-35 with the MWS, they'll be notified even of fox2 launches.
>>540515437Fortunate you weren't in it, I'm amazed the roof wasn't fucked though.
>>540515841It wasn't even that dirty so either I imagined the whole flipping over thing or it did it quickly enough to not touch the ground too hard
>>540515839>they'll be notified even of fox2 launcheshow? fox 2 are not using radar
>>540517195Small radars positioned on the wings and tail that can detect incoming missiles.
>>540517195what >>540517925 said plus small thermal cameras trained to detect smoke plumes, and other IR signature that match a missile launch. The M-346FA has them as well.

Fox 2s and high off-boresight/dual-seeker Fox 3s ruined air combat and I'd love set where the AIM-7M / R-27 / Super 530D are the highest tier missiles
>>540518346>>540520729this shit makes it all the more irritating that ED sees no problem in making yet another bluefor and it's a fucking F-35. We are in a period where ffucking trainers have that shit and you think the best thing the sim needs is a fucking f-35 which can probably intercept alien nude selfies with its ew suite

>>540531748Have you seen any pink 3D buildings? I think they may have fixed it because I saw some after launch.

>>54053232624 is in a reasonable state now, you could wait until the end of the year for SU4 and it'll be in the position it should have been on launch, it needed another year of development.

>>540518346How would an 346fa fare against cold war russian jets like the mig29a etc?
>>540535797anything subsonic is a target to an interceptor.
>>540535797Not the 346 anon but I just asked chatgpt, the 346 radar has a range of 70 nautical miles and can track 8 targets, the mig slightly less, the mig only fox1, while the 346 can sling bvr fox 3s.
>>540531920Leave it to microshart to try and queer up every little thing they can.
>>540545234Is that the new YS-11?
>>540549998Yessir. After the first flight I think it’s OK but definitely has room for improvement.Throttles feel very on/off and just want to sit at the firewall from takeoff to descent. Handles well though and the model is gorgeous. Not bad at $13usd but I’d think twice at $20.I’m still on 2020 fwiw, might be better in ‘24.
>>540556832As long as it's not 307 tier.
>>540559386Much better than the stock 307 but honestly what isn’t
>>540523186This is actually really coolThe only other thing like it is GAmod but that can only interact with the built-in MSFS ATC
>>540452571How do the medusa jammers work exactly? does having 2 pods mean I can jam 2 targets? And what's the range and can you jam through obstacles? I really want to like the medusa but I can't seem to make it work.
>>540572470>does having 2 pods mean I can jam 2 targets?Yes. You also get a bit more range if only jamming a single target. 4 jammers obviously increases all this, but you'll drain your capacitors faster.>And what's the range and can you jam through obstacles? You can't jam through obstacles as far as I know. You need direct line of sight. It might ignore other vehicles, but not terrain.50km according to the HUD, within this range is works very well. After that its effectiveness falls off but it still kinda works, but I don't know exact numbers. I know by 100km it's useless, unless maybe you have 4 jammers.>I can't seem to make it work.Keep in mind it only works against radar guided missiles. Ships can have IR or AAA they can still fire. It's also possible for them to briefly acquire a lock based on your range. If they're shooting at something close by they might maintain the lock long enough to hit it. For stratolances you want to jam the radar truck directly and blind the whole battery. I don't actually know if jamming AI planes does much. Jamming human players will annoy them and mess with their map, but they can still fire missiles just fine. Plane launched missiles are all ARH and need to be jammed directly. You can do the same with SAMs but it makes more sense to jam the radar/launcher.
>>540578269Thanks. I think its a really good looking plane but every time I give it a spin I just get the impression I could've brought something cheaper with more ordnance. Do you use it in singleplayer and if so, how?
>>540572470>>540578674I can't tell you how to use it since I suck at it too. One tip I do have, is that your capacitor charges faster if your radar is off. This is true of all planes, but on the Medusa, you can basically use 2 pods indefinitely with the radar off and your engine at max spool.
>>540578674I don't use it as much in singleplayer, but that's because the AI sucks and has no idea how to deal with it (a lot of human players don't either) and systematically taking out their SAM network and ships. One more tip is that you're pretty free to ignore the weight limit. But in singleplayer I don't think the radome is worth the extra drag nor is a full load of fuel needed if you're not planning to fly around for radar coverage. Better to be lighter and faster to attack and rearm as quickly as possible. If you know a target isn't covered by IR sams or AAA you can fire a single ARAD and switch over to your jammer. For defended targets you need to be closer, like within 30km, and ideally have some altitude, but a single missile per target still usually gets through. Only on ships other than shards would I suggest firing multiple missiles. Unless you're playing a custom mission with very heavy AD coverage. With 6 ARADS and how effective they are combined with the jammers, it is very effective against anything with a radar that isn't flying. And the cost of the plane itself isn't much of a concern once you can afford it if you know what you're doing because of how insanely difficult it is to shoot you down. But if you're thinking of carrying anything other than ARADs, then yeah probably just take a different plane.Some of what I said might be outdated, I haven't played much since the last patch which buffed ARAD speed but also buffed IR sams and added the CIWS trailers.
>>540578674Oh, and one very simple but important tip.Disable weapon safety while the map is open in the options. Being able to jam while you have your map open is extremely important.
>>540537329>anything subsonic is a target to an interceptor.
>>540585952>>540539340>346 radar has a range of 70 nautical miles>can track 8 targets>346 can sling bvr fox 3s
The campaign of Cold Waters is really fucked, and the information you find on the internet about home base assignments is just not correct. Still in '68.I had intercepted some dudes near the ice cap and had to hurry down to the norwegian coast because some cruiser fuck was trying to attack the coast or something.Sadly I haven't taken any pictures from the operation because I tried it numerous times.The thing is, I am in a Sturgeon, and the Sverdlov makes like 32kn, which is faster than me AND my torps, which means that if I even so slightly disturb the group, it just bails and I'm fucked, so I had to go for a more prudent approach.Basically I parked in the shadow zone and had them come to me. Two Kotlins and two Rigas as escorts.Got btfo numerous times, until I eventually said fuck it, just sent everything the big dick's way and bailed.
Finally a fucking success in exporting a livery!

>>540620267They're free, but it seems completely pointless needing to add them to your library in 24 as it's streamed.
>>540620990Probably to give players the choice is they have slow internet and no disk space
>>540620990The dumbest thing is that there's a big notification the first time you start the game after a world/city update that lets you know it exists -- with absolutely zero mention or links for going to the marketplace to get it. Unless you already know how it works, you'd just assume it's happened automatically and end up never getting it.
>>540621776Absolutely and that's what happened to me,>Why isn't the Japan update in my library?>Hang on I have to manually add it>turns out I hadn't added the German city update eitherI see the point for 2020 when you don't want to install absolutely everything, but for 24 it doesn't make any sense.
