Post your ACI workhorse!
>>568312979I've been getting serious mileage out of my edgelord F-4E as well but Cipher's Draken is just so fun to use. Plus rockets are actually good in this game.
You just have to shit UGBs everywhere, it's that simple.
>8, Online and Zero (PC) are on the horizon>Infinity is back>6 is being recompiled/aceg/ will return to life
plene?
>>568322371>Zero (PC)what's the point if it's just a 1:1 port with no improvements or changesjust emulate the original at upscaled res
>>568312386Missing links from OP>PA Twitter (ENG)https://twitter.com/AceCombatGames>Kono's Twitterhttps://twitter.com/kazutoki
>>568330214>original at upscaled resThat is exactly what the bonus with 7 was 5 just upscaled. Besides if you release it as a preorder bonus aka legal loop hole to avoid license cost. Nor do you have to waste time to bring it up to date. Time which should be spent on 8 making it better.It may seem hard to grasp but a lot of people either won't or don't know how to use an emulator. let alone rip the game or just find it somewhere
>>568330214I'd say easier modding but there's a possibility that they tack Denuvo or some other anti-tamper on it which would increase the hilarity value instead
>>568331086Isn't Denuvo dead or something?
>>568331895Yeah but I don't know if that effects modding or just releases, I think there are some forms of anti-tamper that are fine with modding and others that aren'tBut I am stupid so I don't know anything
Kono is in LAhttps://x.com/kazutoki/status/2059080699014164713>I will cross the Atlantic and the North American continent to arrive in LA
>>568334247Ok I don't mean to be an asshole or nothing but who caresI mean yeah, Ace Combat man, I get it. But he's flying to LA. So whatIs something related to AC8 happening in LA that the guy is attending? In that case I'll apologize for being a cunt and shut up, but otherwise...it's a guy going on a trip, I know the general can use every bump it gets but this seems a little too extreme
>>568334247>I will cross the Atlantic and the North American continent to arrive in LAWas he in Europe or something?
>>568335183Summer Games Fest is in LA next week.
>>568335568Okay then sorry for being a cunt
>>568312979back when i played my main 3 planes were the F-14A or D, SU-27, and SU-33. I could hold my own in the pve even on level 4 raids. My beloveds.
>>568335647Seize him.
>>568335423He went to Pairs last week posted typical vacation pictures A really nice shot of the Eiffel tower, food pictures, picture of the older parts of Paris normal stuff
do you think there's a chance ac8 could be bad
>>568340264it could be a bad ace combat game, there's always that uncertainty for any unreleased game in a series until it's actually available to play, but if it was it'd still be miles ahead of the total flop city that is like 75% of AAA games these days.
>>568330214Steam cheevos and accessibility for casual nuggets to play one of the holy trinity. Zero's over twenty years old now and you have to handhold the average gaymer to get them to play anything even remotely old or different.
Just finished mission 5 of PW. A bunch of comments>There are so many fucking targets and everyone is so evasive on Hard that every mission feels like it takes an hour. Thank goodness for wingmen pulling their weight.>Having more than 1 SPW and using the dpad to switch between weapons is a great innovation. I'm glad that'll make it to AC8.>The gun is so powerful I think I may try out a gun-only run after doing all missions + DLC. >The minimap doesn't make it clear that the green targets are actually optional enemy targets, but maybe that's just me being too used to green being used for allies instead of blue.>As I thought, not a fan of the flight physics.Gonna finish the game before saying more, but I'm enjoying it like it's AC4.
>>568342860>every mission feels like it takes an hourNGL on my first play of the game I had the same feeling on a lot of missions. It goes away when it you play it again thankfully >may try out a gun-only run after doing all missionsThat is why Spear exist she's fun to use also comes in bright Pink
>>568340264Seems very unlikely at this point in time. 7's DLC missions were the best part of 7, and they were given plenty of time to cook for 8, no rewrites, no pushed back deadlines, no development hell.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UZKEZGeSIYFully transformable, lights up has 3 monsters in it for a Daedalus attack99,000 yen or about $620 she's expensive but oh is it nice.

KILL all piston aircraft players
>>568312979F4-E Mobius!>>568330214No matter how much I try to fix it on an emulator it still have graphical glitches or new ones that replace old ones.
>>568356772All TWO of them???????
>>568356772I was planning on putting together a piston only lobby some day...
>>568357726>graphical glitchesHow the game is plug n play all you have to do is just adjust a few visual settings to make it look cleaner.Your emu settings tell us what they areHow long has it been since you updated?
if it's piston powered it's literally not a real plane
>>568357726>F-4E Mobius My man.
>>568358516Buddy I've been through this dance twice here in this general. I'm fine with the way it looks honestly, it doesn't keep me from enjoying Zero. The port will probably be free with the pre-order like 5 was with PS4 and 6 with Xbone
>>568357887YEAH BECAUSE ONE OF THEM IS IN MY LOBBY AND HE'S SCORING LOWER THAN THE FUCKING AI
man a new AC game is always welcome but i just want the ps2 trilogy with current gen graffixlike i'd happily pay 120 bucks for that shit, but they'll never do it because muh loicencesgay ass shit world where nothing cool happens
Could someone update me on whats been happening? I haven't been in /aceg/ since 8 got announced back in decemberalso what the fuck is this captcha system
Hey there, buddies! Got swamped with work/IRL for a while there, but here's the roster/music poll for /aceg/'s divegrass team for /vg/ League 26: https://forms.gle/EbNagbfMpa2HSeBQ8I'll keep it up for around ~48 hours
>>568366596soemone brought infinity back to life on emulatorthats about it
>>568366596Someone started working on a decomp of 6 and actually got pretty far towards basically having the thing natively playable on PCA completely different team somehow managed to revive Infinity and added a full-blown save editor to bypass all the grinding
>>568366596>also what the fuck is this captcha systemYet another attempt by the site staff to put a bandaid on the bloody stump that is 4chan's spammer, bot, and ban evasion problem. Anyways aside from what the other anons said, AC6 runs better on Xenia now too thanks to that recomp. In addition to that, Xi is playable on PC thanks to the TouchHLE emulator.We're so fucking back it's unreal, buddy.
>>568369489>AC6 runs better on Xenia nowdid they fix the horrible contrails and clouds
>>568358928Oh I remember your the one that plays on default settings aren't you? At least switch the backend to vulkan it should fix glitches at the very least.Of course Zero is the prorder bonus it lets them legally not have to pay to use planes no longer in the game.
>>568365440What game did this get modded into?
>>568368316>>568368337>>568369489unfathomably based
Asking again if anyone has gotten AC6 running on Linux and if so, how you did/what emulator did you use
>>568369489>Xi is playable on PC thanks to the TouchHLEI missed this one somehow. So why haven't we added Xi to the mega then?
>>568374579That's Vector Thrust, which is pretty dead
>>568375668That explains it the cell shading was drawing a blank for what game that was.
>>568312386what are the odds that picrel appears as a prototype in AC8?
>>568384298Maybe but YR-99 is gotta be in she's already been in service for 9 years. Or they might get us all and we get a YR-100 instead.
>>568385191The Y means its a prototype that can go into full prodcution model some nations in Strangereal have been using R-99's for almost a decade by now. Wouldn't be strange for a new model the YR-100 to enter the testing in some airforces before they buy the finished model. What better place to get the bugs worked out on the YR-100 than letting the FCU have some to fight with.
you cant do this to me i was on a roll
>Checks Kono twitter>Goes to Five Guys has typical American portions are larger momentBut more importantly Setting up the SGF booth already.Anyone here going?
>>568401020SGF has booths? I thought it was just a showcase.
>>568401020>Five GuysLong Caster would be proud. Also not a bad choice, they're definitely one of the better and most consistent national burger chains and they're pretty big toom
>>568401845No idea but they are setting up something just from that picture Kono took.
>>568403715>>568401020You gotta rich to eat there.
ace combat 3 has entirely too many missions that pick your plane for you.
Turned on Star Fox Zero for the first time in a decade.This is certainly one of the control schemes of all time. How the HELL did this get past playtesting?
>>568418519Yeah it does suck sometimes. Makes sense for some missions but a lot of them feel kinda arbitrary.
>>568425401Shigeru Miyamoto personally executed anyone who didn't like it during playtests. Every single bit of feedback they got from reveal to release was that the control sucks but they did not listen. Now some people genuinely defend, which I mean I haven't tried the game myself but the fuckass controls make me never want to try.
>>568425690I could deal with gyro aiming, even though I don't believe it belongs in a game about Star Wars style fighters.The PROBLEM is that the sights you see on the screen are actually projected at an angle and do not provide an accurate read on where your shots will land. To reliably hit targets at any angle but straight in front of you, you have to look at the gamepad screen, which gives a 'cockpit' view, and that in itself is a limiting factor when you get into boss dogfights and suddenly have to both fly evasively with the third person display on the TV and look down to actually shoot the fucker when he comes around.
>>568375117No luck with any sort of Xenia, best attempt had audio but no video. Currently trying recomp but it's failing something RexGlue related with a bug no one else has encountered or documented. Thinking of opening an issue on github for it but there is a chance this is just PEBKAC too.
Am I the only person who can't help but notice Tajima's breath in every guitar song in AC04?
>>568425428Its really a headscratcher as to why they did it. Finally playing project nemo and i think its safe to say that AC2 is just a better game and better ace combat. People really overhyped the story of AC3 when its all concept and no execution. Shit just happens and none of the endings are satisfying. Also has the worst ost in the mainline series by far holy shit. Snorecore and not in a good way. Not to mention the weirdass control scheme where you cant pitch and roll at the same time. AC3 kinda sucks even in JP.
>>568444431>Also has the worst ost in the mainline seriesAnon is to young to enjoy 90's cyberpunk musicBeing locked into one or two planes in story mode was an odd choice but I can take whatever I want in free mission and don't care.
>>568448729well thats the thing i'm in my 30s and played the int ac3 on release back in the day so i don't think its an age thing. Its just that every song is some kinda low energy techno thing even in the "large" scale dogfight missions.
>>568444431>worst ost in the mainline series by farHard disagree. I think of these 4 immediately whenever AC3's OST is brought up.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5desF-n7K0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHwpwYR_7HIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFsKJDrQfN4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AtR4GSWX58I'm also a faggot that likes unorthodox music in my vidya, so I'm a certified Morceaux enjoyer.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDx5jlzkhMk
>find myself playing 5 after a recent playthrough of 7>reprisal>forget you can't do high-g turn>crash into building>chopper yells out [[Kid! You're too young to be a smoking hole in the ground!]]First time I heard that line. Then again, I rarely crashed in 5.C-chopper, if only he knew. ;_;7
>>568449008It fits just fine the game oozes Ghost in the Shell but plenes and as a natural extension the music goes in that direction too. You see how big PA is going in with Top Gun today then it was Ghost in the Shell.It just comes down to taste I enjoy it its completely different than all the other games but still enjoyable cyberpunk music.
>>568450428Its the only mission he'll say that line oddly enough.
>>568449286i feel like zone of the enders 1 and 2 do what this game was going for but better in terms of music
Anything you guys have done to reduce crashes for Infinity? I'll get them any time; menus, lobbies, in-mission. Shit sux
>let's make a country for our fictional world >it's gotta be this world's version of Spain, what do we call it>how about Sapinincredible
>>568454302We don't call it Strangereal for no reason you know.
>>568455953it's like if instead of calling it strangereal they'd called it Eathr
>>568456351But people can't pronounce that. Something that is Strange but real that is easy to do.
>>568456351Well the planet isn't called Strangereal in-universe, y'know.
>>568456685what is it called then
>>568458427Earth (very original)
>>568458957why didn't they call osea the united states of acerima
>>568459941>Osea>OSEA>OSA>USA
>>568460004why didnt they call yuktobania ssuriawhy didnt they call belka gremany
TRY GETTING A RESERVATION AT DORSIA NOW
Anyone wondering what the briefing screen will look like? Will it be modern all digital? Or seeing as we are on a very old carrier will it be old school with a physical map on a table and you see people placing models & objects on the table either by hand or by sidling them in place with a pool stick?
>>568471014It'd be funny if it was like an old projector map. Or alternatively they could style it like Ace Combat 2, like a deliberately low poly 3d map of the area.
>>568471014Hopefully it starts all janky and oldschool until GR steps in to set us up with a slick modern upgrade out of the kindness of their hearts.
>>568453051Apparently the latest update is supposedly what fixes everything, but I didn't notice much of a difference. I lose connection, freeze, whatever. Raids seem to have it the worst for whatever reason. I'm close to going back to another multiplayer game until 8 comes out. A one player function for co-op missions would be ideal.
>>568453051>>568484094I feel kinda bad because I've only had about two crashes the entire time I've been playing the revival. And my laptop is a POS that's almost ten years old.
>>568487593It probably has something to do with NVIDIAs Blackwell tech fucking with my CPU. Pos cards can't do anything right with games
>>568489054The 50 series has had all kinds of problems glad I don't have one.
>>568450732Really? I want to crash in missions now to see if I get some rare dialogue.
>>568499545As far as I know I've had my fair share of crashes in 5 mostly from doing stupid things and that is the only mission I've heard that line in. You might find others guess its time for you to go on a crash spree then?
>>568494910The SACS livery is very nice.
>>568500204Shame no one is high enough up in Frances Navy to order a few Rafales to be painted up like them for an airshow.
>>568501639Maybe something the Rafale demo team could get it sometime. They have some really pretty liveries like this one.
>>568471014Would be really cool to get whiteboard briefings in first person, and you can look around and see with the squad mates are doing.
>>568502924>Professor dilligently takes notes during the briefings>Noise jots up music notation to compose his next song>Tasha does more homework problems
>>568501905We got a French poster here he can go submit the idea to the demo team, who knows it could happen.
>>568502924I mean...maybe?
>>568510541>HD projector on the ceiling not the same thing
>>568510734what are you even greentexting vro
the host is always that guy in his hangar with a full room ready to go
>>568513432Ugly fuck
>>568518685>Rewrites your topography
>>568516282I’m about to host tonight and just ready as soon as I can, I’m sick of waiting 7+ minutes every mission.
SAAB concept for drone fighter
>>568526896stelf triangle
>>568527143its a double delta, like the draken
If block1 had a personality and could speak, it would probably be mental retardation. before I understood the mechanics of the game I grinded the shit out INF to get the dammed thing. It was the first special aircraft back in the day.
>>568526896>>568527480Draken has returned
>>568529061
>>568526896I thought it was some sort of origami or paper air plane at first, for some reason.
#needthis skin in 8
>>568527540I'm just glad that it just became a skin in 7 because I love the way it looks. Especially the orange trim version. Honestly it's one of those planes I know is bad still fly occasionally for nostalgia since I was got it as a beta reward in the early days of the game. Fun to larp as some Belkan test pilot fucking around and finding out.>>568538585This one too. The Bug looks good in black.
RCAF officially in talks with SAAB about purchasing their AEW aircraft
>>568543205Neat
>>568543205It's a Bombardier business jet with a fancy antenna on top. Why does Canada need to buy their own airframes from Sweden?
Where do I even download ACI? It's not in my usual go to place.
>>568546056They're putting their heckin' elbows up to own the US. Pay no mind to the fact they're still buying F-35s even if they do eventually buy a few Gripens. Although since the planes are built in Canuckistan to begin with before being sent to SAAB, this is basically just them buying the EW components from the Swedes and having them installed at a SAAB facility in Canada. Apparently the E-7 was their other consideration but that entire program is a clusterfuck.
Is project wingman abandonware or what? what happened to the snoy monie?
>>568546654Nopaystation is where I got it.
move aside frontline 59's "crystal kingdom denies the request", I HAVE SO FAR TO GO in infinity's operation bunkershot will reclaim its crown as being the top dive moment of all time
>>568546654i got the iso just from romsfun or whatever random site and then got the update pkgs from rustypsnjust make sure you actually put the iso into the emu, i kept just installing the updates and wondering why it wasnt working
>>568551009I like to think that remix of Blue Skies is what really saved the franchise
campaign was funvery first online mission and i "lose connection" half way through the matchguess its not meant to be
I'm glad that 7 didn't make the divide between Fighter/Multirole/Attacker so harsh like it is in Infinity. Try doing Bunker Shot with even something like Reaper's F-22 and it's a pain. Although if I had the high level parts that would help. It's certainly not impossible, but all I could think of is how much I miss having XSDBs for the F-22.
>>568557769I've done Bunker Shot with Mobius' F-22, at level 10 it's perfectly doable.
Gotta stay fly
>>568557769I think both are best suited to different situations. ACI's damage differences between fighters and attackers (plus the fact that fighters get zero A2G Sp.Ws) means that teams need to have a decent mix of plane types, so that's very good for a game where the focus is on teamwork. 7 going back to the original formula is good because it won't punish you for daring to bring an attacker to a score attack mission.
>>568569001ACE RUNNIN, ALL DAY LAWNNG
>>568572236GOTTA STAY FLAH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH
Would you buddies be down to have NTDM and hard Co-op missions this saturday night? I was thinking same time as the Shootouts (1930 CEST/1330 EDT), but we could also go for 1800 EDT/midnight CEST. What do you buddies think?
>>568548275Not much of an own when the drunk fucked up the group buy for everyone including the US. Then later we told the drunk to deal with it we're buying them. By that point everyone else has already made other arrangements and they can't be changed now. everyone to pay more for AWACS buys this go around.The program isn't a clusterfuck as the Aussies and S Korea already have them in service
>Kono posting a pic of an AMX modelEarly ground attacker foreshadowing? Or am I looking to hard in wanting new planes to be added to the series?
>>568574280looking too hard but i will join you
I just realized, AC5's epilogue stated that the Osean government would release all their files pertaining to the 'Belkan Conflict' from that war in 2020. So 8 would be the first one where people actually know everything about the Razgriz and what went down with the Belkans. I'm curious if it'll even be brought up.
Are there any other uploads from 30th anniv concert disc besides AC8 there?
>>568444431I just did UPEO and Neucom ending today and was disappointed. They were so short, there's genuinely not enough story to be excited for. Everything escalates fast and before you know it, the game is over. GR path seems to have more stages so maybe it's better. Ironically I think the route stuff is what hold it back, if they just made a linear 30-40 stages game combining all plot lines this could've been something special.
>>568581737Each route is 1/5th the story you have to play them all to get the full story>30-40 stages game combining all plot lines Uuhhhhh........
>>568500041Kek, I did start crashing a bit. I will have to see if there are any dialogue changes depending on how far into the mission you are as well.>4 horsemenlel not crashing in this mission. It's not hard but I just don't want to do the timed radar kills over and over>Demons of Razgrizonly got basic [[Blaze crashed!]], though I think some dialogue was missed due to many of the scripted lines>Ice Cage and White NoiseGot a comment from sea goblin along the words of [[one of the wardog went down!]]I can't do free missions yet because new save file.
>>568582387I played a bunch of visual novels anon, branching route isn't an excuse for barebones story>uhhhhThe international version doesn't use the electrosphere plot at all
>>568584757Its a plane game not a VN it doesn't need a large story like a VN or even RPG's do. Its the first game with a story beyond these guys are attacking us go get'em.>international versionThat wasn't what the Uhh was for all 5 routes are connected its one single story you view it in segments until you do all 5 and see the final short part of the story.
>>568584757>visual novelsVNs don't have to come up with even more mission gimmicks and ideas to pad out the runtime. That's how you end up with crap like Time Limit.
>>568460004USEA>USAHow many americas are there in strangereal
Trumpeter coming out w/ a 1/72 scale J-36
>>568574793Probably just more potshot jokes at the once-great Belkans, like how Avril jokes about Belkans plotting conspiracies. Or maybe we'll get a throwaway line about Nord Belkan clay being anschluss'd by Osea or something.
>>568574280
>>568366980Smol reminder about the poll for those who missed it. Gonna close it in a few hours
>>568573478I'd be down for either time frame.
>>568601201Thanks for your efforts, Dog-chan
>>568573478I don't know that timezone buddy, butI would be down to find a lobby of NTDM at all...
>>568573478I’m willing to try NTDM, but hard coop grinding with a double fuel weekend is something I can get into.
my missile doesn't know where it is
>>568592637I look forward to the expected Galm team liveries along with the usual AC antags like Yellow 13, Sol squad & now Shadow to show up on this model.
>>568621252One done in the Proteus livery from AC5 would be neat.
>>568621252someone already did an erusean livery one
Planes without a vert stab just look wrong.
>>568631234How about really tiny ones?
Watching a KH-101 get shot down made me think 8 has new damage models I wonder if those new damage models will extend to cruise missiles? Instead of the usual they just blow up in the air some might spiral out of control and crash into the ground depending on how you hit them
>>568639815Well in Assault Horizon anytime you had to shoot down a Trinity missile it would get destroyed and tumble around just like the planes do. So it might happen. 7 didn't really have cruise missile intercepts but the damage models for downed planes were pretty good, just not as nice as the previous era. I don't think the IRBMs you shoot down in Bunker Buster have damaged models either and just explode.
>>568639815man imagine if a plane got hit with a TLS my guess it would split in two
>>568641330They didn't it was just a huge bright fireball to cover the IRBM despawning when destroyed.
>>568641824Either that or it'd be turned into a flying slagheap. Now if only the TLS we could use was as powerful.
>>568641824I've wanted to do that for a very long timehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBS_MxFUB_0
Looks like its finally going to happen Gripen is going to war.
>>568644057Ah Ukraine finally made a deal to get some?
>>568645018Yes Seems the C & D models are freebie's while they have to buy the E models not a bad deal.
>>568644057Ah Swedes are finally attacking Norway again?
>>568645451Raid by the sky instead of raid by boat
>>568644057SAAB finally getting some Ws
>>568644057ngl wonder what paint schemes the Ukrainians might put on the Gripen's
>>568340264>The number eight is also a mobius stripEntirely dependent on Mobius 1 showing up at some point. Because how can pun loving japs just not use this opportunity?
What are the chances Ace8 will let me create my own color schemes and livery like Armored Core does?
I FUCKING LOVE PROJECT WINGMAN! I LOVE THE MISSIONS AND THE SOUNDTRACK! AND THE DLC IS REALLY GOOD TOO! RAAGGGHHH
>>568663338go back to the nuclear option discord please and thank you
What's /aceg/s favorite loooooooooong plane?
>>568631234How about ones that go the other way?
>>568664045Abomination
>>568340264I will judge entirely on if a Gyrfalcon upgrade is in it as the most advanced thing on the tech tree, because by logic, the timeline demands this.
meanwhile in strangereal /k/
>>568666106Did you watch that new Osean documentary on the OFS Kestrel? Those underwater shots from the submersible were pretty cool.
Why is Emmeria always like this?
Posting the Sea Vixen for no reason, deal with it.

Post plane roster predictions for Ace Combat 8. Number limit is AC7 base roster no dlc.
>>568672462It'd probably be redundant but the F-15SE would be a fun inclusion.
>>568672462Since 7 went full DLC guest porn at the end there, I have an idea.
>>568672462
>>568675656GOOLD?
>>568675807Shit we cribbed off the aliens around Pluto, but close enough.
>>568672462Literally everything from the abandoned Navy Widow/Raptor program.

>>568675184whoever drew that doesn't really understand the purpose of tailfins and why they're placed at the back, not the nose
>>568677250theyre the ears :3
>>568677250Yukikaze is a plane built with alien space magic, it cares not for the nonsense you call logic.
>>568677250?
Boy, Ace Combat 0 was an experience. The final missions went really hard in the best possible ways. The music also very much contributed to the final stretch.Good thing Ace Combat 6 is becoming playable on PC since that and AssHo are I think the last ones I need to play before Ace Combat 8.
>>568685846dont bother with ass horizon, its not worth the storage space
>>568685846>AssHoWhy do you need to play a game that isn't Ace Combat before you play AC8?
>>568575124Full album is up on YT, or is it split individual tracks you're looking for?
>>568663029I keep saying as frustrating as Assault Horizon was there's a handful of good ideas they should have continued. The custom plane painting was a great addition to that game and really should come back. Although that would also plague AC8's multiplayer with teenagers dying their planes in atrocious black and green and purple whatever like it's the Jokermobile.
>>568685846Zero is really fun. Glad you enjoyed it buddy.Alexa- post the webm of the average Assault Horizon DFM experience.
>>568701029>green and purpleThanks doc.plane
>doing jackshit in the afternoon, baking in these yuro temperatures>suddenly hear low-flying jet noises>"that's not a fucking airliner">step out onto my balcony>basically ground level with no view of anything except trees and the building across the street>still manage to catch a short glimpse of a Rafale pulling a sick low turnIf I fucking knew they were doing flyovers today I would've been out and about with a camera, God damn it.
>>568711471It's practice for statehood day tomorrow.
>>568711471>>568712758Croatians?! I'm visiting a friend in Zadar this year.
>>568711471I remember when the US first Iran earlier this year, my local airspace was fucking LOADED with military aircraft like I've never seen before. Raptors, Lightnings, Bugs, transports, helicopters all in flights of two to four planes. Genuinely never seen so many planes in the sky in one day. I've still never seen them pull manuevers at low atlitude though, despite living near a military base. So I'm kinda jealous you got to see one dorito pull them lol.
>>568712758Makes sense.I'd like to take time and try to get good pictures but my schedule for tomorrow is packed tight on account of everyone being off work to hang out. Makes missing today's practice runs all the more irksome, but it is what it is.>>568713007>Croatians?!Yeah
>>568713923Just hang out with your buddies where the flyovers are scheduled, 2 birds with one stone.
A week away from Ace Combat 8 news, I'm already getting excited.
>>568627547Footage from my latest match on Weapons Base Assault (Hard)
>>568721750Every time I see Lancer in that mission it's either MVP ot very close.
when I was on a road trip across the scottish highlands we were driving along the loch ness and we saw a couple F-15s zoom by, I would say they weren't even 200 feet above the surface of the lakewas pretty sick, too bad I never get anything like that where I live
FUCK IT, BUDDIESWHO FEELS LIKE HUNTING FOR SPECIAL RAIDSJOIN ON ROCKETPOWERED
>>568731985I joined a few times but lost connection.
Newcomer here,i started with Ace Combat 4.this game is pretty cool.
>>568685846The only thing Assault Horizon had going for it was the final boss mission.
>>568743083It had a decent PvE mixed with PvP multiplayer too. You could also paint your planes and change the color of your missile smoke
>>568685846Whatever you do, don't play Ace Call of Duty Combat on Ace difficulty. The game is not at all balanced around it.
Not looking good lol. Either my MR is too high at this point to find people not choosing the Narrow option or the game is close to dead. It's Friday/Saturday and struggling to find a room.
>>568734714Sorry we couldn't play, buddy.>>568745587I found a full 6-man room, I'll tell you if there's an opening.
is the restrict to beginners tag meant for the beginners' benefit or the veterans? there are matches without the tag on but i dont want to join in my phantom because i literally havent been able to finish a single match lol
>>568745587I had to leave to do some shit, there's an opening in that room!>>568746452Definitely for the beginners' benefit, because veterans can't join those rooms.
>>568745587>>568746452For matchmaking turn the restrictions option to all, beginners option to any, and connection to any. This guarantees finding a room in most cases but if that fails just host a 4 player and call it a day. The amount of times I’ve waited for rooms, seen nothing, then hosted a room and instantly get 3 other people is saddening.
>>568746887>>568746934nevermind, every match i join i get disconnected halfway through. what a fucking pain in the ass
>>568746452Once you hit Second Lieutenant the training wheels come off. Although at this point that's probably where everyone is, the game has two ranking systems. Waaay back when we had Japanese to carry us so you were never without high or low MR rooms, but there was sort of an unspoken rule against high MR players joining low MR rooms since they didn't really have the planes to compete.
>>568739862every game after it is better, even X
>>568746934It hurts a lot when the host sits in his hangar during a full room imho or doesn't start when people are in their hangars. I sorta get waiting on people, but when the population hurts like this it's better to just start ASAP.
>>568750978It’s just something people will have to learn or live with. I know I didn’t have any clue about what planes I wanted to use or upgrade so I would be part of the problem, but now I got 4-6 planes for both no restrictions and 1500 restricted that I can easily fire off missions with vs.
>>568759804If you insist.
>>568664045This is how you keep your rear gunner from shooting your tail off by accident.
>>568759804
>>568759804Ahahahaha plane
>>568759882I know its fake but she is perfect for a B-1 art
>>568760778>Meanwhile in Russia
>>568762319
>>568765507If that huge air intake was for a scramjet, people would have sung a different tune.
>>568764424Shame WIG planese never really took off. They're cool as fuck and look like a middle finger to aerodynamics.
Controversial Opinion: I hope Ace 8 has mods and parts that actively change the way the planes look.
After 8, I wouldn't mind a full remake of Air Combat becoming Ace Combat 1. Throw new PC version of Ace 2 in there as well. Project Aces are a bunch of cowards who don't want to touch the theoretical happenings of 3 anyway, so I can see them just going backwords.
>>568766075Every single one of them ends up like something Burt Rutan could come up with while high on the sauce.
I can feel it in my bones.
>>568766513That would be fucking sweet but also probably more work than the modelers want to take on.
>>568418519One thing I didn't quite understand about the ending, was the digital version of Dision that you fight in the simulation the same digital copy as the one in real life? If it is the same, then why was he even in the simulation in the first place
>>568780191The only thing actually real about ACE3 is the very beginning that stipulates the circumstances of the corpo wars. Everything else is in the sim and therefore speculative. We actually have very little info on the actual real world in 3. Because of this, if Project Aces really wanted, they could simply say that all that stuff from the sim is bullshit and IRL the world didn't progress that much and has nothing, or almost nothing, to do with what is represented in the machine.
Need the Ace Combat version of the Korean War so we can get some old as fuck jets and maybe justify a certain "King of the Skies" existence instead of him being an asspull out of nowhere just because 7 needed a baddie.
>>568780656Makes sense, so pretty much the only known things are knowledge of the general setting and that dision was killed and turned into a digital consciousness and Simon wants revenge? I read that Ace Chronicle timeline website, and even that doesn't exactly match up with any of the routes, although it seems close to the UPEO route.
Any of you ever play Raiders Sphete 4th? I just started it recently and I'm really impressed so far. It flies like the Holy Trinity games and has these weird plane designs I'm a fan of already. It's both extremely competent with the presentation of the briefings and the actual model quality is pretty good for a game of its budget. But then you see things like text errors or one of the VN characters having a stray line where they forgot to cull like a JPEG artifact or something. >>568781102I find it so very funny that 3 not only has cuckoldry as a main driving force behind the story but has it happen to two characters and one of them is Dision's digital copy getting cucked by the human Dision.
I want custom livery badly but I can understand why Aces wouldn't do it. All you'd get is meme shit.
>>568366596I won't but as consolation, here's some silly art of a stealth kit Phantom II
>>568792410and yet they allow cringe anime toddlers
>>568793818Some meme shit would be ok, it would need to be policed. Or they could just do the smart thing and give you the option to just turn off seeing other people's paint entirely.
If your carrier base in 8 is full of mercs and rando scabs who know how to fly, then is it too much to ask for the ability to pick your squad? Like what if you could read dossier on the carrier pilot complement and each one would have their own personality on chatter and their own stats and skills?
Hoping I get SOLG IV today
>>568793818For all we know the imas girls are all real pilots in Strangereal
>Hitman One, commencing jamming!
>>568780656I have said very often that I don't want PA to touch Ace Combat 3 anymore or go further into that dystopian cyberpunk future stuff from that. But I would actually like a game that kind of revolves around fighting against such a future happening.Like getting a plot where the main battle is to stop GR and Neucom from actually subsuming the Usean nations. Or where you actually have to fight against a freed NEMO to stop it from creating the circumstances leading to the Corporate War like it was programmed to. Basically a story where the main idea is to stop AC3's simulations from becoming reality.
>>568739862bad game
Biplens.
https://pegi.info/search-pegi?q=Ace+Combat+8AC8 has been rated by PEGI. Looks like it's coming out real soon. Expect the release date announcement either at SGF or State of Play.
>>568813089I mean we have an outline of some of the events of the Corporate War revealed now.Of course the stopping of Nemo might have happened because Simon couldn't figure how to simulate Singularities and the Wings or Trigger were still around and put Nemo into the ground once he became a threat.
>>568828464I'm glad everyone agrees the Super Sabre looks like a catfish. Personally I think the Typhoon also kinda looks like a fish, the angled canards always remind me of catfish whiskers but the plane itself doesn't look like a catfish.
Fucked up how I've never been able to play Emergency Sea Strike until today. Funny how fast a carrier dies to GPBs.
>>568819234I don't know but AC3 happening at all just feels like a stretch. Like after what happened in 7 where a collection of clusterfucks nearly sent a rogue robot rampaging across the planet? I feel like no one in Strangereal would let these computer nerds within 50 miles of any AI project.
>>568843625one quick look at the state of the world right now should be enough to tell you rich faggots will stop at nothing to keep the stonks line going up and certainly they won't worry much about a rogue AI fucking things up for the common normal citizen
Who cares who dies!
>>568843625you're retarded
>>568838340Grimm? Gingers have no souls.
>>568843625I would have agreed with you until around 2022. Trump going all chips in for unregulated AI is insane.
I was watching a video about Ridge Racer and it made me realize how lucky we are that AC didn't die a similarly humiliating death to due Bamco's incompetence.
>>568813783>DornierThey had some ideas back then.
>>568843625Just like no one in Strangereal would have left a major arms company intact after they were a key part of starting a war between superpowers. But they did leave them intact for nearly a decade after.Face it Strangereal humans are just as dumb and crazy as real Earth humans are.
The crunchiest dorito.
the original prototype c130s with no nosedome look really goofy
>>568870476Looks like those dogs who have stubbed noses
>>568816943The absolute state
>>568872371The Pegi-16 rating or in-game purchases? Previous titles were Pegi-12 so this feels like more of the same, although the in-game purchases thing has made people wary ever since thag news first came out.
>>568873169You can buy trinkets for your hanger and to put in your planes cockpit. Also known as whale bait items
>>568873398Was this revealed to you in a dream?
>>568873992Yes it was a fever dream that occurred when pulling 9G's
>>568873398I want a Nugget bobblehead in the cockpit of my F-5, piyo.
>>568874454Honestly if they keep it to cockpit gubbins I can tolerate it. I just don't want them doing COD style skin packs or something, like pay 20 bucks to get the Mobius 1 skin plus a bunch of garbage you don't actually care about.
Hey buddies, weird request. Could you post some Phantoms? I'm specifically looking for various different paint schemes, preferably from around the Vietnam war. Mainly interested in light gray/light blue schemes like picrel, or maybe metallic, but some green schemes would be cool as well
>>568887125
>>568887125I gotcha.
>>568874663Skins might be rewards for events just like they were in Infinity.
Anyone else here have OG Thunderbirds as their aviation gateway drug in their early childhoods?
Phanks for all the Phantoms buddies
>>568915929I grew up in a city that had the Thunderbirds semi-regularly show up for an airshow.Stupidly, I never learned about this until adulthood.Instead, we'd drive out to see the Blue Angels once a year.

Does the anti-stealth part help at all with the latter half of Pipeline Destruction? Trying to S Rank it in VR and it's pissing me off.
>>568960119Doubt it. Bring long-range anti-ground stuff, especially LACMs with their big blast radius, and slap range upgrades on.
>>568962819Rafale with the LACM's and lock on range upgrade saved my ass, thanks. I could just follow the missile after firing and it would lead me right to the group that popped up.
The only items I could find for Infinity were the update files 2.0 to 2.11 the RPCS3 install and the firmware. As far as the RAP file and the base install, all I found was viruses. Maybe I will try in a couple months when it is sorted out better.
>>568975521Nopaystation worked for me. I found both the PKG and RAP file there.
>>568975568I wanted more convict missions.
>>568967417Does the range upgrade actually do anything? I thought the LACM already had the max lock on range by default.
>>568979523No idea, this was my first time touching LACM's in the first place.
>>568976940In the cockpit. Just gotta find out how to login. Thank you based Buddy.
>>568780656>The only thing actually real about ACE3 is the very beginning that stipulates the circumstances of the corpo wars.Corpo war isnt the only thing. The flashbacks to Yoko and Dision, Simon and Park, and Rena's memories are just as real.It's important to remember that ACE3 is a simulation and for a simulation to work the elements in it need to be real. Or else the result will be of no use. And that's a no-no.Don't forget: no Yoko, no ACE3.
It's been a while since I played 3, why exactly was Simon so pissed off at Dision? Was it just because he cucked him or was there some deeper meaning, because the actual Dision was simply a casualty because General wanted Yoko dead and he happened to be there, why would he still be focused on the cucked version of Dision when Yoko's death is the fault of General? Also why the fuck did General not at all question that Dision was still flying with them despite knowing he was killed in the explosion they orchestrated?
>>568980617No problem, I was having trouble finding stuff too.
Strangereal WW1 and 2 would be so fucking lit, all the proposed shit would have been given a chance. Strangereal's equivalent of the Red Baron would have been in some alien bi-plane looking thing.
>>568982221Simon was Martha's beta orbiter, It really was all about his personal revenge.
>>568764424
>>568982221>Also why the fuck did General not at all question that Dision was still flying with them despite knowing he was killed in the explosion they orchestrated?This is answered in the supllemental material (also translated).
>>568984973Where is it translated?
>>568960119>now stuck trying to get Faceless Soldier S-Rankfuck. i know i can do it if i route it out, but god this shit is annoying.
>>568987029The real trick is using cruise missiles for it. Also starting on the right side of the map seems a bit easier in my experience. Bring parts for your standard missile too for the drone fight.
>>568982336I can’t get into the discord yet. I’m just missing the tss files for the so called Operation Eternal Liberation. I’m out of time for now.
>>568989728Oh the TSS files you just get from the OEL exe file. There's a specific option for it.
>>568987029If you want to cheese it out, 5th Gen Fighter (Rafale if you don't have the Top Gun DLC) with LACM and armor + fire extinguisher. LACM has terrain following and big splash damage, armor and fire extinguisher lets you tank some super missiles if need be. Kill shit until Spider spawns, kill him, then don't dawdle in killing the drone F-18s next phase.
PLENDo the paths in ACX do anything besides determine what planes you unlock? Also, do I need to replay all of the campaign to choose a different path?
>>569014478I think they also affect which parts you unlock
>>569014478>do I need to replay all of the campaign to choose a different path?You need 3 playthroughs to see every mission iirc. The sequence to get 12C is a bit convoluted, look it up
>>568989728within the OEL launcher add the address for the TSS files given to you on the github inside of the textbox which prompts you from where to get them
