>>572268950I think they said they managed to patch some things for the F-15E for compatibility with recent updates by changing things in the DCS source code instead of the traditional way of doing it through the module source code. Not sure if that will work with the Vulkan update though.

Gentleman, I am delivered of pain. The cockpit I had made from MDF was great, but it was also great at fucking my lower back.I might have fucked something in the geometry of the back rest, or, in placing some padding, I fucked something that directly impacted my spine. I dismantled it whole and placed a regular car seat I got from a scrap yard.You cannot believe how good it feels, the pain the strain the suffering after every session, all gone. I can dunk the breaks without feeling my spine tearing in two and then get up without cracking every vertebrae like a whip.It's so good, to feel no pain is so good.Installing that half rotten shit was a god sent inferno.
>>572281310
>>572285628Bought a new wheel and got this seat off a old FIAT at my local scrap yard. The under side is rusted and I nailed two planks together and made an ad hock base for it. I've busted my back in the past months using that cockpit and I had enough when racing at brand. Two and half long race and by halfway through I was howling inside my room every time I tried to apply the breaks somewhat competently. I whacked a porsche into the wall and quited because I couldn't physically stand anymore.Ever felt a pain like your spine sides being crush within themselves? It was like that, like someone was choke holding my spinal cord.It took me four hours to get the old cockpit parts off and put the new chair, and figure out to NOT bolt a half rusted out seat base and have it secure. It took so long because I kept loosing my tools and I had to stop to lay down and decompress my back.Here's the final result. a DD wheel and a car seat. It feels GREAT, great I tell you. So good I don't want to get up from it, I've played a bit of AC with it and it was so comfy. The bad part was the dude who sold me the seat wouldn't sell me just the one I needed, so now I own an entire set of seats, front and rear, nearly all clawed to ribbons and littered with cat hair. Might make a couch out of it.
>>572289101Nice that it even has a removable headrest for when you want to switch to VR.
>>572290581It can bet forwards to adjust head distance, compared to the other front seat, this one is pristine. The wheel is good but I feel that it might have some cogging issue. I can feel the force kicking in when the car shakes too hard, like it hits some stopper and moves in the opposite direction. I'm reluctant about warranty because I want to test the issue's coming from the wood base I got going right now, it feels like softly hitting wood with mallet. I'll order a metal frame to replace it and see if solves it. I've also stripped two bolts from the support base, need to replace those as well.
I have a Thrustmaster TX Leather. No complaints, but I'm curious what advantages I'd get from upgrading to direct drive. Other than stronger feedback, what advantages are there? I mostly play iRacing and Assetto Corsa.
>>572300382No notchy feeling/more precision. Also, you can pick how many ° you want on the fly.
In taildraggers should I let my tail rise first, or aim to have all 3 tires leave the pavement simultaneously
>>572303123Let the tail rise first on take off, go for all three wheels touching down together on landing.
>>572300382>>572302074To add, you can also buy different wheel rims for you base, GT/F1, rally, regular round wheels, even modded one based off real car wheel rims.

>virpil R1 falcon>5 week back order>going to buy second hand t flights>sell once Falcons arrive for practically zero lossThe depriciation of flight sim hardware is so good, you can do this sort of thing. Based autist hobby.
>>572303123You can do both.A 3-point take off gives you the shortest takeoff distance, it is good for smaller bush planes.A 2-point one gives you more speed (with assorted rudder control) and is to be preferred on heavier warbirds or in crosswind.Very good video to understand it all :https://youtu.be/vXustupZ4TE
This thing out-turns warbirds at 30% fuel. Italians are cracked.
>>572289101Forgive me for being a brainlet, but why do this over just sitting at a desk?
>>572314692being able to swap rims on a whim was the whole reason for slurging money on a DD wheel.

>>572359557It's X, yeah.Looking through the manual and I've set the UHF knob to 'both' and bearing on HSI to 180 and hit the test button, and it seems to do... something.
Oh, I think I figured out. I THINK it just didn't have LOS to the beacon. The tutorial text is kind of weird because it doesn't explain you need to take off FIRST so your plane can 'see' the beacon.Now it's doing the beepy thing.
Oh hey a rainbow!Many sticking to altitudes and bearings and stuff is HARD, I'm constantly going back and forth before I can dial it in enough to get it consistent. Is that normal?

The fuel gauge is looking to see how much is in the tank.
When is DCS releasing the Tempest module? Now the german, french and spanish (why even involve them in anything) project has FLOPPED I think it's high time the UK and Italy invades europe. Japan can have some spoils too.
>>572367651I have noted your mistakes.
Every flight in this game impresses me, it looks so good lads.
>>572369401thanks anon
>Haptic Feedback: The virtual cockpit includes "haptic" technology that provides the pilot with the physical sensation of touch while using the augmented reality controls.The tempest will have capabilities of effectively being a high end DCS rig. So get practicing lads. Prove yourselves on DCS and there might just be a role for you in WW3 that isn't digging trenches and getting killed by a drone. If you don't have a full FFB and a buttkicker on your rig in 2026 then it's the infantry meat grinder for you.
>>572362058Following routes is a skill to be developed. Most common errors are over correcting instead of letting the plane fly itself as much as possible, and not trimming to keep altitude and/or deal with crosswind. It's normal to err a bit along the line but don't try to recover as fast as possible, aim for a long and straight shot.There are some exercise to grok TACAN nav such as doing orbits as a constant distance from the station, or arriving a bearing A and leaving at bearing B and going from A to B either in a straight line at the same angle with each route, or by flying an arc keeping the same distance with the station.Also do some ILS landings in complete fog if you want some good beacon "fun".
I have decided to land on this beach
>>572370168It wasn't as flat as it looked
>>572365419I tought I was the only one who did this. no joke
>>572369319>tfw you're going to be the only european 6th gen fighter
>>572370538I've just found a bizarre incident from the other week involving this plane>An Eurofly Twinfox with two occupants, while returning to the Goito airfield, was forced to make an emergency landing in a floodplain area near Borgo Virgilio due to an electrical failure. Once the malfunction was repaired (an accidental detachment of the spark plug connection contacts),Fine>the pilot took off alone toward Goito, leaving the passenger on the groundwat>After returning to the landing site by car and being unable to locate the stranded passenger, the pilot notified the authorities. The passenger was subsequently located and rescued by the Carabinieri.Maybe he purposely left his wife behind in an attempt to get rid of her.
>>572370987most likely she was scared and didn't want to risk it. depending on where we landed I would rather hitchhike back to civilization than risk a failure during takeoff.
>>572369443It's really impressive how close it is to the real thing.
>>572371270https://www.ilgiorno.it/mantova/cronaca/ultraleggero-avaria-borgo-virgilio-atterraggio-campo-volo-goito-uea1itbdIt doesn't sound as bad from the (translated) article, he returned on his own for safety reasons but couldn't find her when he got back as she went off to look for help.>>572371337I always expect the lesser known places to a look a bit shit but they still look great. Even autogen can look decent. Admittedly the UK has had a few world updates, I should fly somewhere that hasn't had any and see what it's like.
>>572368478That reminds me, the Whittaker MW6 shows how much you've squeezed the primer bulb before engine start by visually filling up a doohickey with green liquid, hadn't see that before
primarily IL-2, msfs24 and occasionally some space shitis the risk of the chinkstick worth it over the vkb/virpil?I want to be under 500 bucks, is there anything else I should look at?
>>572372986You'll want rudder pedals, twist rudder is aids
>>572372374The MW6 also has a working choke/enricher simulation for starting a cold engine. Nice to see devs implementing that since MSFS doesn't seem to have it built in.Of the planes I've gotten recently:Mini-Max 1500R -- choke is simulated, needed for cold start and also kills engine power if you leave it on too long as engine heats upWhittaker MW6 -- choke is simulated for starting (binary on/off rather than variable), but leaving choke on after start doesn't seem to have any effectRans S-6S -- choke is fake, lever moves but doesn't have any effect and isn't needed for start (default MSFS standard)
>>572373376I've got an old set of basic pedals that I'll keep using, right now I've got a 15 year old x52 that is giving upfor the ~150 I paid for it I've got my money's worth out of it and am due for an upgrade
>>572373961The Twinfox has a choke too, I haven't tested whether it's required or not as it's a warm day.
>>572372374>doohickeyfuel filter
>>572374459Umm sweaty, doohicky is actually the technical term okay?
>>572368478I like how the J3 Cub does it with the bobber stickThe shorter the stick, the less fuel you have
Kind of surprised that DCS doesn't let you make axes relative instead of absolute. The rocker on the T Flight's throttle would be good as a way to vertically sweep the radar on the F-5 but by default it's absolute so you have to hold it at a certain elevation.I should probably just upgrade my HOTAS at this point - definitely feeling the pinch on buttons I should be able to access without taking my hands off.
>>572373961The S6S is still a pretty cool plane though, with the oil dipstick and engine burping and visual coolant level check and CAS J3C-like gas can animation for both wing tanks independently, gas can contents persistence, circuit breaker tripping, oil pressure/oil temp/CHT/coolant temp-based engine wear and oil & coolant leaks, doors that break off if you leave them open at high speed, trike, trail dragger, and amphibious versions, wheel pants, bush tires, optional autopilot, Aera or TDS GTNXi GPS options, a user-editable fold-out paper map to put in the glove box if you opt for no GPS, and state saving for all of the above
>>572377529I've heard it's a really good addon, it's great when devs care and put the effort in.
long shot butanyone gotten trackir to work with il-2 great battles on linux? I got it working with DCS using https://github.com/fwfa123/linuxtrackx-ir but nothing I try will make it work with IL-2. Really don't want to play war thunder for my fix of plane cas.
>>572375954There's no way I would be able to fly this thing IRL because I have this thing where anything pokey looking in my face makes my nose tickle and itch thinking about making sure it doesn't contact my nostrils.I have to either break the offending poker, or leave the area altogether, maybe it has something to do with my gigahomophobia.
>>572379228You're terrified of anything phallic
>>572373961I made a Lua script in FSUIPC7 that does choke simulation for the S6S (might work with other planes with dummy chokes too). It's probably not very realistic but I figure it's better than nothing. Feels neat to have to manage the choke when starting.
>>572379542It's true, I want to destroy every penis on earth except mine.
I've been critical of the Starship but after some nice long flight over China I got to like her better.Found that one of the issue I had with her, too aggressive pitch change in autopilot, was due to using the controls on the climb indicator instead of the autopilot pitch change rocker back of the pedestal.Didn't experience the weird pitch runaway issue I had been having, maybe SU5 smoothed some stuff out.
Holy fuck, the warbirds are so good. Why does the rest of the sim have to suck so badly? This is a peak virtual flight experience.Off to plink more non-reactive static targets, I guess. Sure hope they don't shoot back with terminator aim and that I don't miss the target by more than 12 inches with my 2,500lbs of splash-less and fragment-less WW2 ordnance.
>>572384718>DCS WWII has shit air-to-ground combat and no real cohesive vision>IL2 GB has terrible aerial AI and no clickable cockpitsPeople sleeping on IL2 Blitz & Tobruk. Great AI, decent A2G, clickable cockpits. The UI is absolute ass and there is no real career / dynamic campaign outside of a lackluster mod, unfortunately.
>>572384134What was the pitch issue anyway? I can't remember what the problem was. The dev responds to every post on the forums so you can ask him there if you're not sure.
>>572385610DCS flight physics feel great, IL-2 just can't compete. It's ruined other sims for me, especially with props and helicopters. AI is always going to be dogshit compared to human players in any game, it all gets stale eventually whether it's on the ground or in the air. Flight dynamics are what keep you coming back to fuck around for the sake of fucking around.
>>572372986No FFB? I just bought Moza AB9 and Moza FFB throttle. From research the difference it can make is enormous. Cost me just under a grand for the set up because I got a grip too. Especially with those two games it'd come in handy I'm sure. Only 500 more and if you've used yours for 15 years already then it's a good investment to have a good experience for many years to come. AB6 is even cheaper and it comes with a grip. My experiences with various things, dealing directly with SEA companies is always a risk, even companies based in the west which don't have solid retail stores or sites are the same. There is an issue and you could be hung out to dry. IDK if moza have operations in the US, they do in GB and that's what made it a safe purchase. Worth spending more for your hobby if you sink a lot of hours into it.
>>572386786IL2 CloD definitely has the best flight models out of the entire series, but yeah, still below DCS
That's what MSFS does to my PC
>Sim Update 5.1 for MSFS 2024 is here to fix the avionics reboots and console crashes SU5 introducedNot an interesting update, the SU6 beta should start soon.
Ok here's where I give up, got close but il-2 decided to cuck me at last step:>remove everything related to linuxtrackxir, reinstall by building from source, do the usual steps of installing the necessary shit in the ltr_gui, install to the experimental prefix I'm using for il-2>start up il-2, verify that trackir is bound to control something (pitch and yaw of plane in my case lol) and working>figure out which bindings you need to edit for your trackir (in my case it was bc_head_pitch and bc_head_yaw bound to joy0_axis_x and joy0_axis_y) (I spent way too long at an impasse because I thought "Camera control horizontal" or whatever was what I had to bind to, but turns out that can't take an axis (thanks for telling me slavs))>open global.actions in notepad++ under wine (I tried every other text editor, could not get the game to not freeze if I used anything else)>edit your binds, save as whatever.action under custom folder, make sure it doesn't add a .txt or anything>change to your new whatever profile and enjoy (and then change it to whatever again when you actually get in a mission)

I am smitten with MSFS24.Are there any third party tools that maybe handle ATC or add more traffic or things like birds/animals on the ground?Also which plane has the most full-featured/functional Avionics systems that I can fiddle with?
>>572415737・Traffic in Sight for misc traffic like hangliders and hot air balloons -- this addon creates them as terrain objects with collision instead of as aircraft injection・FS Birds・SayIntentions is an expensive subscription but is the best ATC addon at the moment, includes VFR/GA traffic・BeyondATC or FSHud for cheaper ATC addons, IFR only at the moment・GAmod for free GA traffic addon if not using SayIntentions・Re: animals on the ground, there's actually a decent amount of that already in FS2024 though they can be hard to spot from the air

Do people actually use the gyro gunsights "properly" by setting up the wingspan and range manually? I just shoot my instinct and prefer fixed sights honestly
>>572421848I don't ever bother with wingspan, just find a range that works for where you usually like to shoot from and go with that. It will probably be around the range that your guns converge at.
>>572421848You want to think ahead of the sight either way, but learning to use the gyro will absolutely make you a better gunner.Old-timey pilots also drilled by sight picture and feel, but you can't feel g-force in the sim the way your instruments can.
another great patch, ETA on nuclear option patch?
I'm surprised XP12 doesn't have a single Yak-52. Had to get it on DCS. Also is Caucasus Map that simple and empty or i just need to increase object number settings?
>>572430183That's just what the Caucasus map looks like it's a poverty zone IRL, and built for poverty PCs in DCS.
>>572431176> DCS> Poverty PCsI cant imagine a shittier experience desu. At that point is best to invest that time on getting a better job
Is trackir actually worth it compared to getting a good webcam and using face tracking?
>>572430183>>572431176Based Yak, unironically a great module to putter around in and/or abuse the damage model with. If you're flying VFR here you want to be in Abkhazia. Caucasus always kind of looks like shit, but finding a region with better terrain goes a long way. There are a couple of ground texture and tree overhaul mods on the forums that help this one a lot too, it's getting quite long in the tooth now.Syria is the best-looking map and gets a lot of multiplayer rotation. Germany is great too, but it turns high-end rigs into space heaters and gets no online play because of it.Don't forget to raise your landing gear next time.
>>572431368On 1080p, with the settings turned down all the way, I can get an acceptable 30fps on my laptop with some God awful GPU like a 620 or something like that.My main rig is a 9850X3D with a 5090, and that gets a rock solid 90fps with my Crystal Super even on Marianas after tuning my RAM a bit, so the laptop is just for tutorial videos and the manuals really.

>>572434771trackir is probably the best head tracking you can get, but expensive new. You can use a webcam and face tracking, it's cheap but not as good. I used opentrack on my phone for a while which was still so much better than not having head tracking, but getting trackir was a huge jump.The only issue with head tracking for me is it can give me neck ache, I sit in weird positions with it on for some reason.
Why are throttles so expensive... It's just buttons and two potentiometers
>>572469496Simming gear is still niche. Most people won't go beyond thrustmaster stuff.
>>572469496>>572469775Some DIY solutions are better than their off-the-shelf equivalents too, hall sensors and load cells have never been cheaper. The whole current force feedback wave was kicked off by hobbyists building shit like the FFbeast and Rhino with cheap components and an open-source BOM.
>>572471641Force feedback flight simming gear is very niche even with flight simming. It's fucking expensive. MSFS doesn't support it, according to Asobo it's not down to them but down to manufacturers, I can't remember what their reason was. X Plane probably supports it and DCS does, maybe Condor glider sim too.
Truck sims are my comfort games, when i get burnt out of playing 4x, gsg, rts and generally strategy games i take a comfy trip and everything goes back to baseline :^)
>>572472371Based sim and strategy enjoyer
>>572472782I still have my issues though. I want to play 1 (ONE) strategy game and then when i get sloggy switch to a sim (probably truck) but i end up playing lots of games. ADHD sucks.
>>572437419Thanks m8, yes is pretty fun. So far I have Persian Gulf as the only paid map. I was going to get Syria but wasn't on sale at the moment. Too bad Caucasus is like that, hope with the mod it looks better. If Im flying Russian airplanes I would like them to fly well, on Russia or adjacent territory. Sadly ED wont release an Ukrainian map anytime soon so Caucasus is the closest thing.
>>572472956I have too many hobbies I have to juggle, at the moment I'll sim in the day if at all and play other games at night, I'm currently playing King's Bounty The Legend again because it's a classic. The issue I find with flight sims specifically is I need to allocate a bit of time for a session otherwise it feels rushed, at least an hour.
>>572473248my only hobby is gym and gaming, i stay at the gym for roughly an hour, then play some cRPG, sRPG, aRPG, gsg, RTS etc.... the ones i mentioned and then when brain gets tired i play FFXIV or ETS2 or ATS
>>572473582>FFXIV
Found a place to explore next
>>572473652I always waste away my life on an MMO during summertime, i hate the heat and the sea so i stay indoors and play either WoW or FFXIV, FFXIV is more to my liking because it's not as sweaty as wow.
Bought T.Flight One hotas with pedals for £50 local to me. Literally a few mile drive. All works perfectly, a few scratches. My first taste of a hotas and I've got the full set up all on its way, this was just in case the R1 Falcon pedals took months to arrive because then I'd have the T.Master rudders.It feels strange honestly, only ever flown games with a keyboard and mouse, prefer keyboard mostly. Trying to chase down another Su25 in DCS to fly behind and learn to match distance and speed. Couple deadspots I noticed in this hotas but £50 for a hotas and pedals, it's illegal to complain.
>>572474571Where from? Gumtree? The t flight one will be an okay entry point but if you get into simming you'll want to upgrade, even to the t16000m.
>>572474695Local ads, it's a good deal. Ebay I bid for a few for around 70-80, lost them. So this in my mind is an absolute steal.
>>572474695Also, this is the set up, all ordered except the head tracking because I'm still undecided between delanclip or trackIR.>Moza AB9 (FFB)>Moza MH16 grip>Moza MTP throttle (FFB)>Virpil R1 Falcon pedals with hydraulic kitNext couple of months I'll get a rig, buttkicker and some key switches, might get some mechanical key pads this week though. In a year if I feel it's worth it I'll get VR but I'm not spending more than 4k a year on gaming hardware which is where I am already considering I bought this new PC with DCS in mind.

>>572461653I found cows and sheep west of Astoria Regional in Oregon the other day
>>572475385Hijacking this guy's post to ask about Moza FFBs, they feel decent? I'm neither shelling out money nor do I have the space for a floor mount earthquaker FFB. As nice as it sounds I dunno if the fancy virpil one coming out would be any good for me.
>>572390006>>572372986ok, after thinking about it and reading more about it now I'm looking at ffbanyone have any opinions on ab6 vs ab9?is it really worth the extra 300 bucks for the extra torque/build quality?
>>572493068>500 dollarydoos just for the baseOuch, it'd be better be good for that much.
>>572493068I have literally 1 hour experience with flying with a hotas because I bought the T.Master One today as a stop gap for my order to arrive. I'll make some unlisted videos on the set up once it's arrived so people can see if it's worth it or not, they'll know better than I do. I chose the AB9 for a few reasons based off what people said and my own thought process.>people seem to consistently cite feeling the gears with the AB6>AB6 has 6Nm of torque, which is half the torque of the AB9>better build quality, more metal parts>AB6 isn't really that much cheaperI paid £667 for the AB9, desk mount and the MH16 flight stick. The AB6 comes with a flightstick, which isn't as nice as the MH16. So you're also paying for a middle of the road stick. The AB6 is £400(includes mount and stick) and the AB9 was £667 for the 3 items, so is it worth £270 more? Absolutely. And if you're not buying the flightstick because you've got one, that's £520 vs £400 for a much superior product. When there's such a small price gap, you'd be a fool not to go straight to the AB9.Another thing I've heard is people seem to have more issues with the AB6 and then when they send it back to Moza, the majority of people I've seen online have opted to upgrade to the AB9 instead of getting an AB6 replacement. Only thing the AB6 has going for it is le buttons.Other thing I don't understand that I read when I made my decision:>The AB9 offers a stationary "Force Sensing" mode (like an F-16 sidestick), which the smaller motors of the AB6 cannot support.? but I guess it's another +TLDR get the AB9 and bonus points for the Moza MTP throttle with vibration feedback for the larp.
>>572474571Those will serve you just fine, especially for the price. Now see if you can dig up a Quest 3 for a similar discount.
>>572495916Already ordered AB9, moza MTP throttle, the virpil pedals. This was just a stopgap because I might need pedals if it takes too long for virpil to ship, but they already made the shipping number so idk maybe it's coming this week. Probably gifting the thrust master set up to someone if I can find someone who wants it, if not I'll contact the seller and give it back to his son.
>>572496629You've really gone all in on this, I hope you don't get bored after having spent a grand on all the kit.

>>572533468I called, they already sent a hitman to your house. Think twice before yapping buddy.
>>572491090I'm heavily in on Virpil (previously a Warbrd-D, CM3 throttle, Control Panel #1) but decided to get an AB9 when it came out because it was feasible in a way that Rhino and other FFB options weren't where I live. I use my Virpil Constellation stick on the base. Negatives first. Their software is improving over time and they update pretty regularly, but there's been some minor, weird little gremlins over the last year and a bit I've had it that have mostly been resolvable with turning effects on and off or switching between direct and telemetry a couple times. My Virpil stick is almost 100% fully functional through the AB9 - I used to use "axis to button" on the analogue stick for four more bindings and that's not possible but otherwise I haven't lost any functionality. Positives - I'll never play without FFB again. Every single module is improved, some much less so like FBW jets - although the "F-16 mode" that makes it a force-sensing stick is kinda neat - but older steam-driven jets, especially the Mirage F1 which the devs have leaned pretty hard into FFB, are just phenomenal. Similar to when you get a load cell brake pedal in sim racing, you build a memory for how the jet feels at corner speed and what happens when you pull too hard and wash speed off, and in immersion terms it feels utterly alive. Helicopters are absolutely game-changing, you're obviously aware that it becomes a "dead stick" and you can just move the cyclic where you need and it remains there, you can pretty much fly happily all day without trim.I've been thoroughly enthralled by it.

>>572528020>literal WW2 heavy bombersBongs could pack a lot of boom in a Lancaster.
>>572515834>other than they will receive new jetsHuh... That goes against what one of my sources had said. If they choose the T-7 even after the latest reports I'm going to be disappointed.
>>572573261The defence investment plan came out yesterday https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/new-jets-confirmed-for-red-arrows-in-hawk-replacement/I can't remember when they were actually going to choose the new jet, I thought it was this summer.
Everything but the mount arrived. Very high build quality across the board. AB9 is very heavy.
>>572600097Take a pic when you've got it all set up
>>572601082I will. Got to wait for the desk mount and rearrange the room so my dog doesn't fuck up cables or knock anything. The R1 Falcons feel waaaay nicer than these thrust masters. I know they're 3x the price but still, I can barely use these trustmasters because the centering is so light. Heavy springs for the Falcons will be good, I want to fight the rudder. Might centre my 27inch monitor instead too because the 24 inch isn't really big enough as I sit further back with a hotas.
>>572574000In case they choose the T-7 I'm really interested how much of a clusterfuck it is going to be considering the plethora of issues it currently has. On twatter there was this engineer who said that there is also some fuckery due to boeing going all in on a supersonic design when even the USAF didn't want it and this caused issues with the LERX which will need to be modified for every other customer.
>>572606221nevermind he's not an engineer so his take might be retarded.
>>572574000Still, what is more important is that we got some more GCAP funds even if they are somewhat below expectations.

>>572622496Ah yeah it is, I couldn't see the jets very well but I suppose this is one
Falcon 50 is a pretty chill guy. He nests in trees and is not afraid of anything.Went to check how much fighter blood was in this Dassault product : not that much. It is heavy to handle and suffer from poor acceleration, though at 200kts you can pull decent loops and rolls.I then crashed on takeoff after doing a full stop landing and coming up again on the remaining runway.
>>572628410What's the plane like? Rate it out of 88
>>572628485After three flights (not simming much lately) I rate it 69 out of 88. It's not cheap, but at a time where developers are increasing prices anyway it is a good value, as you have a nice model with good sounds, fully modeled systems (no bug or approximation so far), decent flight model, free of obvious bug (I had two weird behaviours but one (yoke trim disconnect) was actually working as expected (I used the pedestal pitch trim which decoupled the two, you need to push back the spring loaded button underneath to regain yoke trim), so the other may very well be too).It comes with lots of gadgets : animated drawers and table in the cabin (no toilet :( ), RC tug, manual refueling, utility vehicles around, tooltips...It handles like some light airliner though, not a very fun to hand flight aircraft. Challenging to land properly too. Still not sure how it'll fit in my usual GA routine.
>>572630080>no toiletNot buying
>>572630080I think if you want something that flies more like a fighter jet, Learjets are better for that, I think the falcon 50 is just a long range high altitude beast.
>>572630412Yeah, may be so. I initially wanted the Xtrem Prototypes Learjet 25 but since they never updated it I went to the Falcon for my first bizjet.
>>572633725>Xtrem Prototypes Learjet 25I've had my eye on this for a while, probably one of the sexiest cockpits I've ever seen. Apparently the dev is fucking weird and uncommunicative, and there is no native 24 version yet.
DCS people, is there a way to have ONLY the kneeboard on the pilot model visible? I kind of want to have it hanging out where it normally sits on the pilot's leg rather than taking up a corner of the page, but without having the rest of the model there.
What is the absolute peak modern helicopter sim to learn to fly rotors on with FFB?I've heard the DCS Huey and Apache are peak, but I specifically want the best possible flight modelling.

>>572642243Huey is actually kinda fucky from what i've heard. I'm no specialist but it seems like the flight model is borked. Mi-8 and Mi-24 are top tier.

>>572659765The Hip has great flight dynamics, can fly many roles, and it's Russian so everything look like absolute shit inside, with switches and knobs scatter shot all over the place to no rhyme or reason. You might be into that sort of degeneracy though, I won't judge you.

Are these assholes really going to wait until Saturday for the National Park update?
>>572713506You WILL celebrate burger day
>>572715342Yeah, but I want to drunk sim TONIGHT.
My plan was to do a safari flight in Kenya and look for animals, but I've left it a bit late.
>>572724073Can that thing reach the top of Kilimanjaro?
>>572724242>>572724073Oh wait, that's in Tanzania. Never mind.
>>572724242>19,341ftIt's on the border, I think this mountain might be Kilamanjaro, not sure, I'll have a go and see how high I can get.
>>572724764I thought so, too. Anyway, good luck. There's also a cool airport in Uganda called Entebbe on Lake Victoria. Africa world update when?
>>572725295Thanks. I could be wrong, but I have a feeling this plane wasn't designed for night flying.
>>572725520You can fly anything at night as long as you have a light source to look at instruments and/or terrain features.There's a flashlight in the game, no?
I cheated because I couldn't see anything so wound the clock back. Just pass 10,000ft, I think the ceiling for this plane is about 13k.
Hell yeah night lighting.
>>572725882Yeah but I wanted to see the mountain. Nearly there, passed 13,000ft now. I think I'm benefiting from a bit of ridge lift.
hnnnrgh I'm just using ridge lift to get up here.
>>572728207time to park and walk
I found some animals!>take a screenshot>get an achievement thing for taking a photo of a buffalo>zoom in and there's a group of them>>572728614Not yet, I'm still ascending slowly.
Why is there a house up here?
>>572728664>>get an achievement thing for taking a photo of a buffaloThey should advertise more that you don't have to start from the World Photography menu to take World Photography pictures
>>572729258I crashed. It dropped like a brick once I got out of the ridge lift over the peak and I tipped over. But it reset me on the mountain so it sort of counts.
>>572728664That's actually a ruffalo, not a buffalo. Learn the difference.
I tried to show off and failed.
>>572729426Ah shit it's the glacier lol.
Why is the MB399 pulling to one side on the airfield as I try to take off? Then it feels harder to pull up and the gears break. I've taken the brakes off, have wheel steering etc. Even taxiing the plane pulls slightly. Can't see why, it's got two drop tanks but they can't be the cause can they? Failed 4 take offs in a row now. Also feels like it doesn't want to pull up.
>>572731426Yeah I shat myself a bit which contributed to me crashing as I didn't want to go into that.
>>572729052Because of the implication.
>>572731718Are both the engines on? All that way on?
>>572733431MB399 is a single engine. Even on the taxi way it's pulling. Pulled a lot just now on the take off and I just managed to lift before it lost control. Run through it a few times, don't think toe brakes are dragging. I'll search around to see what it is.
>>572734062Post a video

>>572702765This screenshot makes me wonder if there's ever been a sim/game about being a traffic copter. Identifying pileups or jams on specific roads while flying etc.
>boot up FS2024 for the first time>no copilot assist for checklist itemsI guess its ctrl+e or nothing. that's shit>no quick option to toggle copilot assisted ATCguess I have to turn it off entirely then>no taxi ribbon even though it says its on>power up to take off>press my old keybind for trim up>teleport to mid airwhy the fuck is it worse
>>572742885Yea boi
>>572742909Have you tried not being a casual?
>>572742909>copilot assist for checklist items>quick option to toggle copilot assisted ATC>taxi ribbonSayIntentions.AI can handle those for the low low price of $190/year!
>>572742909Just check the fucking controls mate it's not hard, they changed them.
>>572742909I'm not sure I had any of those problems, but for whatever reason, the AI copilot can't radio into new flight followings or acknowledge landing instructions.
>>572731718Are you using rudder? Are there strong winds? Did you check your axis?
>>572734062Have you bought another module right after buying the F-5? That's how an addiction starts.
>>572734203I'll try, I'm a bit stumped by this>>572734791There was no resistance when I start moving, no bumps or anything. I can't access the crew menu either which is really winding me up. Meant to be \, doesn't work, neither does \# and I remapped to * and that doesn't work either. My comms are on, t/r and the UHF is on both. 124 frequency.>>572745703I was using wheel steering. I thought maybe wind also, but I was going too slow for wind to be a factor and it's not consistent with the wind sock direction. Don't think wheel brakes are sticking either because I reset them. Might reset all controls after I land. Now the plane is flying steady and not banking so it must be ground related. Are runways uneven at times? Only thing I can think unless wind sock isn't simulated correctly.
>>572747806>I was using wheel steeringMaybe it's too sensitive or it's defauot position is a bit canted? Try to see if you can increase the deadzone and see if it helps. The plane going to the left during takeoff can also be due to the engine imparting torque, but you should easily be able to correct it with opposite rudder.
>>572747806>I can't access the crew menuSame but not with the 339 but with the F18 since the last update.
OH SHIT THE NATIONAL PARK UPDATE JUST DROPPED
>>572748927Asobo released it just for you
>>572749092Based Frenchies knowing about my fetish.
>>572746278I only bought flaming cliffs, so might be someone different from who you think I may be. Trialling the Nevada and MB-399 as part of my training larp. I like this map a lot personally, and the plane feels really nice. It's not very powerful but it's agile and feels safe compared to the Su-25 which I didn't really enjoy. Didn't realise the 399 was full fidelity but it's nowhere near as scary as I thought, even though it doesn't have weapon systems. I'll buy both of these but holy fuck I can tell this is going to be expensive. Hardware only half way there because now I need to get a rig because my desk isn't comfortable and I can't be fucked taking everything off every day. Probably at least another £1200 to spend this year. If I were to say to myself a year ago "it's not actually going to cost £800 for the set up" I'd have laughed it off. End game is probably at least £4000 which sounds ridiculous, and is, but I'm desensitized and know what I want now.
>>572748927>Zion National Park Do Americans really?
>>572749297>full fidelity but it's nowhere near as scary as I thoughtPanel locations and cockpit flows are easier to remember than a sequence of gang signs on a controller.
>>572749092A that looks so much better than what Yosemite was modeled as before. I was actually pretty shocked how poorly executed it was.
>>572752194Yeah, it was pretty potato.
>>572752194>>572752342Didn't they just make one small part pretty to show off for the release? It was in the technical alpha (lol, lmao even)
>>572752131Summed it up perfectly actually, I agree. Much easier to remember those patterns especially considering they were designed to be accessible during high stress situations. Got a moza throttle with a bunch of switches I'm yet to set up, all labelled but I don't know what most of it means, just know how to get the jet in the sky and bring it back down (after destroying the landing gear of course). Maybe 15 buttons out of 200 or so I actually use in the cockpit.
Do people keep labels in their native languages or switch them to English/your language of choice?>>572746278I think you're referring to me, and yes, I've now got the F-5, Nevada, and the Hip.
>>572757851forgot pic>>572752131>Panel locations and cockpit flows are easier to remember than a sequence of gang signs on a controller.Hundred percent, that's why I wanted to get the full fidelity model and not stick with the FC versions even if they're easier to start with.
>>572757851If I'm learning the aircraft definitely in English, once I know where things are I don't mind. If I don't have the option to switch I'll just translate if I need to.
Apparently a Bronco crashed at a Polish air show rehearsal the other day, gear up landing, sounds like it's fucked.
>>572758725I say this before checking and finding out that the Hip doesn't actually HAVE english language labels. There's a mod though.(I do wish it were like, dyno-labelled over the original cyrillic but I'll take it)
>>572759157Having to deal with Cyrillic is a pain, you'll have to use the Google translate app on your phone with the camera, or just check the manual.
>>572758935Only found out about this because AzurPoly made a post about it, apparently the specific one that crashed was the reference model for the Bronco they made for MSFS, so they're a bit sad.
>>572757851Sometimes it's fun flying things in other languages and units.
>>572757851>>572758725English always, no need to add to your stress or workload in combat. If you want to go full LARP you can keep it native and drill your translation skills under duress: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoJS5stvJXE>>572760354Other units are fine, just don't be surprised when you've accidentally learned how to fly in metric.
MFDeez nutz
>>572757851Im learning Russian so is not a problem to me. For aviation you just need English and Russian anyway.
>>572764264French helps too if you fly the baguette.
>>572749092I wish I lived in a verdant mountain region, I fucking hate this tropical hellscape
>>572770731Overrated desu, everything is far away from you, local stores are more expensive for less variety, there aren't enough roads to get around the tourists that somehow clog them up year-round (you swear there used to be a slow season), and all of the local infrastructure is usually worse than whatever "good" passes for in the low country.One period of shitty weather can also cut you off from civilization for weeks.
>>572773425Living on the steppe near mountains is where it's at instead.
I'm totally hooked on Assetto Corsa Rally.It's the first rally simulator I've played where it actually feels like there's some realistic simulation involved, rather than just a game where you slide cars around (Dirt4, WRC Generations, etc).
>>572773425Unironically, nearly everything you just said applies to my tropical hellhole. Minus the store variety and extreme weather events isolating you from society (if discount the overwhelming heat waves that discourages you from going out the AC), somehow we got everything here, except the good shit I want, which is computer parts.
>>572797218So does that mean he's back to making mods then?
>>572749092Why do air wars never take place in beautiful areas like this? Whether it's WWI, WWII, Cold War, or 21st century, you either get>flat ocean>flat central european farmland>flat arab sandbox
>>572780027Dirt rally any good? Played that a bunch. It was fun but definitely felt very simulated.
>>572807816How can you secure an advantage in this terrain unless it's a missile alley, in which case good luck baiting opposing air force to come through. Open space makes it more balanced. I saw some cool battles in the Pacific campaign in ww2. I'm sure the alps were well contested too.

I'm going to try and explore every updated national park, the first one is Arches National Park.
>>572839368I'll probably head to those soon myself after I'm done in Washington
>>572840883It's a really pretty area. They haven't modelled all the arches though, I had to put the POI labels on to find them as I was circling around looking for the others and then realised they haven't made them all.

>>572850950I don't have VR but it does look nice.
>>572851386The movement areas are pretty limited, and each location takes up 500mb to 1gb on your hard drive, but it's a nice VR experience, and definitely worth the price when it's on sale.
If Camera-based head tracking ever became competitive with track-ir do you think it would be more important to have a high-fps camera or a high resolution camera for it?
>>572852443You probably don't need more than 60 fps for a tracking camera, plus you can program some smoothing in on top of that so that you would never even be able to notice the tracking update frequency. Pimax's SLAM tracking only uses 30 fps, low resolution, black and white cameras, and it's pretty good with only that. I would imagine the most important thing for a camera based head tracker would be how well it can auto adjust for lighting and contrast.

>>572896231Thing is, they just made them learn how to operate the tools. They had no agency nor any amount of critical thinking authorized. They just did whatever they were told to by CGI. Hell i think at some point CGI could sort of guide the plane without pilot input.

The Duxford airshow is on today, a C-47 just flew over mine, amazing sound.
>>572934509Speaking of the the red arrows, even if you buy the M-346, compared to an hawk, the cost per flight hour would increase a lot (the other options would even cost more due to the afterburning engine). Plenty of normie retards complain already that display teams are a waste of money, how would they justify it? Depending on how much it cost they could unironically decide to cut down the numbers to 2 or 4 max and give them Typhoons and do like the americans so they have something british made.Also, I still have my doubts they'll actually be buying jets seeing the actual budget for the next trainer + RA , from what I saw was only 320M. My source had said that they were going to buy 36 PC-21s. With their unit price (plus extras) the 320m figure would make sense.
>>572948132The Red Arrows are very popular and active, I have seen some people say we should scrap it, but there would be public outcry. Who knows what will happen. This country is going to shit so we'll probably end up flying C152s.
>>572948132>>572950992Also we need new trainers anyway because the Hawk T2s are shit and have engine problems or something.
>>572951617BAE is in the scamming business otherwise they would have made a replacement 20 years ago.
>>572950992>C152sJust put a f135 on them
>>572948132At this point they should use Spitfires, it could be cheaper and more available.

Why are Russian and British braking systems like that
>>572973006>>572369604
>>572950992Display teams are a very important part of creating the next generation of pilots, who see those teams perform when they are little kids. So yes, you should probably scrap the team until you are able to get the zionist occupation out of your government.
VTOL VR is very cool, but this autistic fucktard dev fucked up big time by not having some kind of dynamic campaign/missions like Nuclear Option. You have to rely on player made missions and they're mostly shit. Also i heard he's back working on the game. Maybe this time he'll deliver something actually cool and not this electronic warfare gay shit.
>>572994790>That airspeed
>>572996116She can take 140 knots just fine as long as you're not risking it in real life. Plus I don't think MSFS is even capable of mast bumping, because it would scare the normies too much.
>>572966658Even the next map is too small for heavy logistics. I don't think it'll be very fun to play.

>>573205108>The one in IL-2 doesn't act like this at all.Il-2 does fuck all to actually simulate how props behave tho. No propeller gyroscopic precession, no torque effect or anything really.Now, i haven't tried the 109 in DCS, but its a very powerful engine on a pretty small and light plane. Wouldn't be surprised if its hard to manage on take off.
>>573201420>Fixed cloud updrafts sometimes happening while misaligned with visible clouds (wrong wind based offset computation).Is "cloud updrafts" the same thing as thermals?
>>573206346>Il-2 does fuck all to actually simulate how props behave tho.Neither does DCS.
>>573209201Its leagues above Il-2 either way
>>573209334Not for the 109 at least. Since DCS does not simulate propwash, the 109 does not have the rudder authority before rotate speed to overcome its torque. Meaning you cannot realistically fly it and have to "cheese it" to get it in the air, which is not the case in IL-2.
>>573209684Ok thats fucking gay.
>>573203447China has the manufacturing capability to just feed fighter jets to American SAM sites until we run out of missiles.
>>573205108>BurgerFilter-109Tap the toe brakes quickly and frequently, don't rely in the rudder until you're like halfway to takeoff speed. Hopefully you have toe brakes.
>>573203447The US exhausted almost its entire missile supply in the span of a couple weeks of losing to Iran.
>>573212375And now the US is getting raped by Belgium too.
>>573209684DCS has propwash, it's just a slipstream applied to the plane specifically I believe and not the world. It's also pretty jank, but I don't fly warbirds.Hop in the P-51, crank your throttle and pull on the stick, step on your rudders. You will get tail authority while parked.
>>573211707If you even tap the toe brakes it tends to start moving sideways on the ground. And I mean literally moving/sliding sideways at a 70-80 degree angle from the forward thrust axis. It's literally impossible for anything like this to happen in real life, it's like flying a hovercar. Nothing at this point can convince me the physics for this thing aren't just completely fucked. I'll stick to Il-2 for props.
>>573226829You tapped too hard. You have to finesse them with little taps right and left.
>>573226953Okay, cutting back to using very little right rudder even in the flare and just nudging the brakes to hold centerline I can get it in the air smoothly and consistently now. I still think the ground handling is UFO-tier, but at least you can fuck it into working.
>>573228032There you go, Heil Hitler!
>>573228032Tell Willi he should have had the wheels retract outboard to inboard instead of inboard to outboard.
>>573236029And mess up that beautiful fuselage profile?
>>573169960Tried it, it's much better, now you can actually land the plane smoothly. Good job from Contrails.Did a couple more flights, and I can say it is growing on me. It does take some skills to hand fly properly, in particular during approach, climbs well and fast, and while it's not a Learjet you can still go for some 4k+ft/min after takeoff if you let her take on speed. Good plane to try fast runs.My only remaining gripes are the limited choice in non-white liveries (might need to check flightsim.to), some one-off minor systems not working as expected that I can't reproduce, and of course still no toilets (nor cabin individual lights for what it's worth).
>>573201420>national park update is released after an anon asks when it's releasing>SU6 beta starts after I ask about itSpooky, maybe they browse /simg/. I'll skim through and see if there's anything interesting.
SU6 beta highlights:>Ability to skip walkaround before flight>taxi ribbon fixes >DLSS 4.5 and FSR4 support>Extended the maximum range to receive NAV radios to allow extended range stations>ILS approaches should finally line up>Fixed cloud updrafts sometimes happening while misaligned with visible clouds (wrong wind based offset computation).>Night lighting at generic airports>VR fixesNot particularly exciting so far, just more bug fixes. Personally I want to see the approach stutter fixed, I'll have to test it and see if it's still there. I'm also interested to see what difference DLSS 4.5 will have, and if DLSS AA is still blurry for glass cockpits.
>>573256972>Night lighting at generic airportsFucking finally.

It's 28.5C in my office but fuck it I'm going to sim.
I'm trying the discovery flight at the Arches National Park, same place I was the other day, to see what it's like. It took ages to load and upon starting I'm just being deafened with dramatic music.
Unfortunately the blurry glass cockpits are still there with DLSS AA, which is a shame because the fps is ridiculous with it on, currently with DLSS frame gen and TAA I get 130fps, with DLSS frame gen and AA I get 160fps.
I got confused, they have added some narrated discovery flights but only three. The normal discovery flight is just being spawned in the interesting area with pins enabled and being deafened with sporadic 'epic' music which I had to turn off. There were things I'd missed seeing so it was nice to see those, I probably wouldn't do a discovery flight again though.
Has anyone bought stuff from MTSIM? I'm e-mailing them back and forth about a custom mount for my Virpil collective.>>572493068AB6 is better than the AB9, it also uses gears instead of belts which I prefer since belts require maintenance. I got myself an AB6, the yoke base and yoke, pedals, mtq throttle and I feel like I don't need anymore, at least for planes.
>>573269604Ok, I give up, looks like a retrofitted F104 but I can't find any confirmation.
>>573281331It's a U-2, though I'm not entirely sure which variant. The S has more glass, and it's obviously not the old one.
>>573281570Oh, that may explain the similarities in cockpit frames.
>>573256972> ILS approaches should finally line up.I knew I wasn't crazy. >>573274757Get a decent oscillating fan. Honestly a game changer.
>>573284280I bought one a few weeks ago, it does make a huge difference. Fortunately this new heatwave is dry compared to the last one so is bearable.
>>573290887Does that plane have a toilet?

I think Nuclear Option would be improved with an in-game voice chat feature like VTOL VR but maybe I'm wrong
>>573293287What about text to speechhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hv6RbEOlqRo
>>573294229The game does have a TTS feature but I use the VR mod so typing accuracy is highly affected
>>573294324Is VR integration planned?
>>573294406Apparently they're moving it much earlier for the roadmap (Previously it was very late, only after practically everything else is finished)https://youtu.be/Ojqd0oC2c8U?t=2334
>>573294406eventually>>573294229typing still sucks, I've died countless times because I was trying to type something. Not to mention if other people don't have the TTS turned on they can't hear it, and it's easy to miss the text chat if you're focused on something else.

>>573299079sad :(
>>573300973It is sad, but it's a nice film. Most Ghibli films are hugely overrated but the Wind Rises was decent.
>>573301127Did you like spirited away? That is an unbelievable film. The way it made me feel uncomfortable like I was a child was absolutely incredible. I have never felt that since I was a child. I think they're decent films, some are incredible and projecting emotions onto the viewer. At least it worked on me.
>>573302107I haven't seen it for years, I thought it was okay, not quite as good as people make it out to be. I preferred Princess Mononoke. Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind was my favourite.
>>573302286Not seen that. I went into them without hearing what people thought so I don't know the reception of each film. The borrowers one was really good too. I quite enjoyed them, not seen them in years. Howls Moving Castle was pretty decent too.
>>573302557My Neighbour Totoro was a huge letdown, fuck that film.

>>573332085Gets better - because they relied heavily on a sextant, and on establish latitude not longitude, they would deliberately aim off when doing oceanic crossings via islands, so that when they hit their target latitude they could turn east or west back toward their destination rather than risk a small error becoming exponentially worse if they missed.

>checks thread>no raceist contentSo, while not really a hardcore racing sim, Wreckfest 2 got updated recently and they've finally fixed the setup menu as in, there's proper values for everything now. So for some reason, instead of slamming into other cars, I've exclusively been going full autismo with upgrades and setups, but then, I decided to play this with a wheel.Anyway, you can set your FOV for any view, the FFB menu has some decent options, but everything worked perfectly out of the box on my T300RS and honestly, this is pretty much some of the best FFB I've experienced. I'd say for dirt racing, it IS the best and as far as sliding feel, weight transfer and all that, it easily mogs Assetto Corsa.I wouldn't say racing with a wheel from cockpit view is good for banger racing, like you really need some sort of radar here more than in actual sims, but the driving? Fuck, there is no rally, rallycross, or vintage muscle content in any sim currently, that drives better. No idea wtf happened here, but Bugbear basically did a Destruction Derby game, that craps all over Dirt 2.0 and Assetto Corsa Rally.The other thing is, it's not replicating any retarded real live series, tracks are fun without being IRL replicas, same with cars, no cig add or crypto scam liveries, but the bet part? No retard rating system. You wanna ram someone? Fine, just don't be surprised, if you start loosing oil on the next lap and fuck up your camshaft.It's a fun game with a pad with a great rabbit hole, if you like tuning (if you don't wtf are you doing playing sims?). Where it becomes mind-blowing is when you try it with a wheel.
>>573372436One of these you can only do once. So it's a no brainer really. Love games where you can play out a war and have a small affect on each battle you're involved with.
>>573374674I've played a lot of Wreckfest 1, I had a look at 2 a while ago and it looked basically the same. Is it any good?
>>573365215875>>573373231kino
>>573376513>Is it any good?Hell yeah, it's wonderful, at least in terms of driving feel. Wreckfest 1 obviously has more content, mods, career and stuff, while 2 is kinda barebones at this point, but the physics alone just scream huge improvement. I seem to remember when 1 was in early access, the physics for crashing and overall car handling seemed more complex, but then the got nerfed, so for example you can't properly drift, unless you use some mod. In 2, you can take a totally-not-mustang and either turn it into a rally car, a tarmac grip machine, or something that goes sideways the second you look the the throttle. I know people who play racing sims can't be bothered with setups and shit or praise a game based on default shit alone, which is stupid, but what made me really get into Wreckfest 2 was the tuning, like you either drive the default limp-dick car, or you upgrade it, in which case you need to do a setup!And it's astounding, cause for something that seems an arcade racer, we actually get a fully fledged physics engine, the ability to do upgrades and adjust that shit so it's derivable the way we want it to be. No sim does that. I know Forza and GT do, but here the physics are actually good. On pad the game is great, on a wheel, it transforms into something that basically just shits on actual sims. Take the not-mustang, any track and rip the fuck out of that dirt. RBR, Dirt 2, AC Rally, WRC games can all go fuck themselves. This might be some simcade, arcade, backed-in FFB shit, but it just feels how it should feel. No fiddling, not googling for FFB settings, no custom files. It's basically like Live for Speed - you bind your controls, and it feel like you would expect a real car to feel all.But if you just want to enjoy it with a gamepad, yeah that works awesome too.

>>573413757It seems way more confusing than it is, 90% is just "tune radio to beacon and fly where it points" and the other 10% is learning what the different militaries of the world call their super secret squirrel version of a VOR:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQ137Aczsmk

>just bought the f/a-18, supercarrier, persian gulf and a couple of campaignsWhat now?
>>573438387Now you do the tutorials, and watch a bunch of youtube videos. You should be pretty proficient within 50 hours or so.
>>573444997Why doesn’t anyone make a $10 full instructional campaign on how to fly and effectively utilize a given plane, and sell it on Steam? I can’t. Imagine the original devs would say no.
>>573450978Rising Squall comes with a secondary training campaign that has some pretty useful weapons training. I actually enjoyed it more than the main campaign (which was an annoying Ace Combat anime enema with niggardly win conditions).
>>573444997>>573450978Before I bought the plane, I used the 2 week free-trial and installed the Gunthrek's Training Campaign for the F/A-18. Thought it was pretty alright, better than the official tutorials at least.

>>573455794don't become a whale. If you're not enjoying the modules you have now you're not going to enjoy the others. You'll just keep chasing that dopamine rush given by purchasing something new, but it will never last.
>>573455794Welcome to the flight sim world, where every other module look oooh so tempting and learning new systems is real fun.
>>573458786You're right.I should at the very least learn the ins and outs of helicopter and plane flight on these two before I consider anything else.
>>573459217Good, stick to what you have already bought till at least the winter sales, then you can decide if you want something more. It's like that saying about not doing groceries on an empty stomach.
>>573431971>My plane wife will never get a high fidelity moduleHow do you feel about the Codename Flanker mods?
>>573450978Probably because most of the players nowadays are just interested in the multiplayer side, more specifically the SPAMRAAM side of it. They can just buy a modern module and learn to sling stuff in a few minutes and call it a day. Actually learning how to fly, navigation, procedures etc would require a lot of improvement first and foremost to core DCS, and we already know ED doesn't give a fuck about doing that. But even from the third party developer side a "flight school" module would require both deep knowledge and a massive effort on their part for something most people would not even buy. It's still my wet dream, a proper flight school module that starts with the yak-52 and ends with the MB-339 for cold war stuff would be great. For modern ipad plane stuff it would be nice to start with the SF-260 and finish with the M-346.
>>573455794>>573458786It's not terrible to be a bit of a whale if it's a historic low discount on something you're certain you'll fly, though. This is the best sale they've had in a couple of years on some modules.
>>573459815>It's still my wet dream, a proper flight school module that starts with the yak-52 and ends with the MB-339 for cold war stuff would be great. For modern ipad plane stuff it would be nice to start with the SF-260 and finish with the M-346.Well you can do that on MSFS.Start with the default 172 or Robin to do circuits and basic nav, do some aerobatics in the Cap-10, move to the great freeware T-37 for jet handling and high-speed nav. Add some glider for energy management and getting a sense of atmosphere dynamics (not that it matters in DCS since it is not modeled), and then you have pretty much a complete fighter pilot curriculum.
>>573459815I think part of it as well would be adding the ability to recognise what errors a new pilot might make so you can correct/explain what they're doing wrong - that's pretty difficult to do with just scripting, I think.Like I'm learning the Hip and I've been watching the tutorial vids and such but it'd sure be nice to have someone sitting in the cockpit going "okay no you're doing [x]/[y] a bit too fast, you need to slow down".
>>573460195If I'm honest, the one I'm interested in (the F4) isn't even on sale. I was considering the F-16, but then I could just get BMS for that.
I might just have to grab a set of pedals along with a new HOTAS. Or just the pedals first, see how much of an improvement they are with the current HOTAS, THEN get the new hotas.
>>573461319pedals are a real "what the fuck have I been doing this whole time" addition that will hugely improve your quality of life, especially with small props and helicopters

>>573460746I meant more of a set of curated missions that try to get close to how a real life military flight school would be.

>>573463726>I meant more of a set of curated missions that try to get close to how a real life military flight school would be. Things like doing exercises within a container with soft ceilings and floors etc but not autistic enough to become something like VatsimMaybe try to look online for real world operating manuals for your plane (you can probably find the F5's, it's all declassified now) and try to do take-off and landing patterns by the number. Fast military jets usually have strict speed/AOA requirement on landing, that are usually disregarded in DCS because no mechanic or squadron leader will be on your back if you keep blowing tires or damaging your landing gear.If you have the performance charts you can also train to do climb/cruise at optimal speed/economy setting. I used to fly the MSFS Jaguar against it's real life documentation and realize that not only it did stick to the numbers, but it also required some planning and handling finesse. A simple 100NM VOR/TACAN nav with full performance planning, fuel and weight calculation, while sticking to the charts, track and procedures at all times with no tolerance for mismatch is an involving and very gratifying way to get to learn your aircraft.
