>>576489443Does VorpX actually do stereoscopic 3D or just some weird fuckery? I think I tried it ages ago but never got it to work...As for the mod, it's been updated a lot in the past couple days. Relatively easy to set up too, 1946 mods considered. I think there are some headset specific quirks depending what brand you have but it's running smoothly on my Quest 2. Originally it had some clipping issues with things like gunsights, since the external model would essentially be poking into your cockpit. It also made dive bombing a lot harder cause the little floor windows like on the Stuka and Dauntless were obscured too. That's all pretty much fixed now. The map and other HUD elements like the speedbar have also been integrated into the VR view too. Its just bombsights that are still broken at the moment though, just due to how the camera works in that view. Aside from that I've been having a blast, and I'll probably be flying solely in VR from this point onwards. No version for BAT atm though, just 4.12 with the SAS mod, and Ultrapack 3. The developer is giving it some time to cook first before porting it to HSFX and then BAT, respectively

Kind of wish there was a good sim for diesel boats. There's a few sailing sims now, but I kind of want "derail valley/spintires but for small diesel vessels".The closest I can think of is either Stormworks (and fuck putting more time into that, I shouldn't have to enclose the hull for it to float damn it), or that one Deadliest Catch game.
>>576522990There are two options I can think of>Seafarer: The Ship SimLooks like it's more of a cargo focused game, mixed reviews.>Ships At SeaHas various types of ships, the devs made Fishing Barents Sea/North Atlantic which were okay fishing sims. Positive recent reviews.Both are early access. I remember playing a bit of the old Ship Simulator back in the day, that was very janky.
>>576523413I remember the old ship simulator.Man why don't ships get any love, boats are cool. Stormworks captured a little bit of the magic but it's just too frustrating to work on shit in that game.

>>576515741I love when devs do that shit. They always dig deeper holes. >>576541646I don't have a problem one way or another with Il-2 Korea but money for value is a legitimate concern in a review. Especially right now with rising costs of games by the Jew.
>>576542246critique the AI, critique VR performance, critique texture pop-in, critique the FPS spikes, critique the campaign bugs, critique the multiplayer issues, all of that is fair game. >>576542956malding about inflation or the state of the industry doesn't make for a helpful review or address any of the many legitimate reasons to have an issue with the overall experience.
>>576545230fucking lmao you're delusional
>>576545545Every negative review is complaining about pricing when it's $10 more than title-of-the-year EA sportslop and still more of a complete game at launch than DCS is with $200 worth of modules.If you see "six planes" in the product description, pay $80, and then complain that having only six planes is not what you expected and not worth $80, you're the delusional one.
I missed my Steam Controller e-mail...Sure its on me ultimately but why do you not give users a notification on Steam itself, the place where they had to reserve it to begin with?

>>576555537So i went digging
>>576556135sometimes the simplest answer is the the most likely. Multiplayer obviously makes sense for a game like that. I just wish my IRL weren't exclusively made up of CSGO tryhards...

Since this seems to be the actual current simg thread, here's my important UBOAT review you all need to read.Been playing UBOAT for the past two weeks or so.Now nearing the end of the war, it's september 1944 and there are no campaign missions left. I missed a few while I was still learning the game.Especially the Tonnage War last level missed by the value of like one coastal ship, which really drives me crazy.And I will probably never (very ahistorically) get the one medal that was specifically made for Hans-Ulrich Rudel, so I will keep my highest non-MC Knight's Cross.Now, what can I say? I like the game, in principle. Mission-wise I like that it's not ALL sink tonnage stuff, but I especially enjoyed the special assignments like recovering the Enigma or a boat full of nazi gold or just shooting oil silos on the African coast with the deck gun.I think the cross section view is kinda neat, and the ego perspective is comfy for looking around.I like the nice little details like getting an important telegram, and it's just some dude's wife having given birth, and you can tell him personally, and combat itself, albeit simplistic regarding the AI, is kinda fun too.However, all of that was made way less enjoyable than it could have been bya) the abysmal UI (or rather UX, as the kids say)b) really, really shitty performancec) all the bugs, literally all of them1/3
>>576598354There is a key for every ego perspective device's knob, yet there isn't any hotkey for e.g. ordering machines full stop, or diving depths (at least I didn't find one); I didn't find how to access the radio menu without going ego and manually manning it.The dials on the torpedo tubes are laughably small. Getting the depth correct often took way longer than it could have been with a properly scaled slider, or allowing to enter a number, like they did with the storage - the storage slider was also kinda bad. I often also had the problem of changing a view and then not being able to click anything, lay a course and so on, so I had to reload at least from the main menu.Sometimes I had torpedos hit ships and banish them to the shadow realm. They literally just disappeared without any trace.Time compression works like ass, you can't set the type of message that will reset the time scale, so any time there is a new hydrophone contact the game will slow down again, which is really annoying just trying to pass the Channel, for example.Generally, the focus on customization seems to have been really misdirected. I can play Sims with my entire crew, but I can't customize the important stuff.And how can my officers get medal points if I do all the torpedo solutions manually? They still help, don't they?Points are another point (lol) - after like two patrols money becomes a complete non-issue, and reputation points also accumulate very fast, and later on there is nothing to spend them on.2/3
>>576598492What also annoyed me was that crew organization is not properly explained. Nowhere in the tutorial or manual is it explained what assigning a number of sailors or assigning sailors directly does, and I only later found out that I shouldn't assign sailors to shifts if I want them for my officers, and vice versa.Sure, if you have been with this since EA you will know what's up, but they are now selling a full game at a very high price and you can't expect someone to pick it up because it looks interesting to go through years' worth of development.Then of course the technical side. Oh boy, this is not even slavjank anymore. This is what slavs would call jank. Most parts of my computer, except for some disks and the case, were not even released when this game started development, yet I get stutters, long-ass "loading content in the background" and single digit frames when encountering convoys. I even put the game on an SSD, but I can't seem to notice any effect.And of course the bugs. In addition to the aforementioned vanishing ships, I had ships spazzing out when hit in port so they wouldn't sink because a part was literally hanging on the edge of a harbor wall, in the last thread I mentioned suddenly not being able to order resupply anymore, effectively rendering all the milk cows I had unlocked at that point entirely useless (which came in really unhandy when transferring back from SEA to France), stuff like shooting a fan of FAT/LUT and them preemptively going into search mode because there were no settings for one of them, harbor menus disappearing, route resetting when entering a coastal area, because apparently the actual terrain loading in would disrupt the route, so you have to set it again, and of course a bunch of crashes.Just shows again that Unity is a shit engine used mostly by shit devs.It's a shame that we have so few sub sims that we are willing to put up with this shit. And it COULD be so good, if it weren't profoundly broken.

>>576622737What's the campaign like? Can you get a lot of playtime out of it, or is it just a few missions and that's it?
>>576610613>Either dude didn't check or didn't like Iron Nest as OPI honestly thought it was a thread for a gay tabletop card game spin-off of some anime shit from the thumbnail.
>>576623020The campaign is like 12-15h from what the dev said. But besides the campaign you have a "challenge" mode that is supposed to have a lot of replayable missions.
>>576623062>I honestly thought it was a thread for a gay tabletop card game spin-off of some anime shit from the thumbnail.
>>576630440tbf, the thumbnail looks indeed like some strategy game. It's literally a map with arrows. Could be a P*r*d*x game for all you know.
Just noticed the 3 crayons do different things. The red automatically takes note of bearing/distance. Yellow doesn't. White is just a line with no measure. I wish we had one we could just free hand draw on the map with.
>wonder why elevation is going extremely slow after loading>realize the steaming valves are not just decoration, but you actually have to close them from time to time in order to keep the pressure in the systemMight become annoying in the future, but I like it.I also like how there's a bunch of shit laying around on the table you can use in addition to markers.
>>576622006I appreciate that the cat is included in the mission summary.>>576623020Aside from the challenge missions, the campaign missions seem at least somewhat replayable if you want to go back and try for a better score or whatever, and it changes the position of targets.
>>576630863>>realize the steaming valves are not just decoration, but you actually have to close them from time to time in order to keep the pressure in the systemValves sometimes open when you fire.

>unlocked incendiary shellsNow we're talking
>>576637148If the cat dies it's game over
>>576637227according to the ballistic calculator, there's 20 different shell types, including WP, CLMN, and ATMC. Some of them I don't know what they're supposed to be though.
>>576638241FLCH shell has to be like to illuminate ? But HCHE and EQKE seem to have a big radius too.
You know what is missing from this fucking game ? Being able to freely write on the map.
>>576638528STAR rounds are you illumination. Pretty sure FLCH is Flechette. HCHE is just High Capacity HE. Not sure yet what EQKE is, my guess would be earthquake. Then there's PLCM, PHGN, and PRPG and I have no clue what that's supposed to stand for. I unlocked drill rounds after the last mission, which are just inert training rounds.
>>576639235>Pretty sure FLCH is FlechetteFlechette with such a large radius ? Would it be a shell with like a billion small flechettes inside that just peppers the whole zone ?
>>576639235>PRPGRocket related perhaps
I'm not sure if the counter battery mission had multiple outcomes or if they just changed it from the beta. Well played tho, i panicked.
>>576640245according to the devs a lot of the missions are procedurally generated meaning targets and their locations will be different
>>576640458When i played the game my first 3 targets were fine according to the coordinates given. Now i'm replaying it and one of the coordinates wasn't good and i had to fire a third shot after correcting with the yellow lines on the map.Thats probably random procedurally generated things, thats pretty cool either way.
Hey ... What if you aim at the king during the mission ?
I hope Korea gets a tank crew DLC. This game actually looks really nice at ground level, and the terrain is far more interesting than eastern european farmland
>make good game for a fair price>the reviews are goodSomeone show this to the slavs making Il-2, with their shitty AI straight out of Rise of Flight.
>>576622934Is that the slav equivalent of Sid Meier?
>>576598736I bought the game two years ago. I didn't actually know that it was in early access since 2019. Tells a lot about the pace. People should not probably expect any new patches soon....Anyhow what put me off was the size, it's a submarine sims game and it weighted 70+ GB and it ran like garbage back then too.Apparently their DLC finally broke everything in terms of bugs.Shame.
boomp
>>576643603I also think they were smart to release the demo before it came out. Feels like only small indie games ever release a demo these days.
>>576651610DOOM did it too. I actually decided not to buy it based on the demo.
>wake up>grab general meow and a cup of coffee (provided by the brave King no doubt)>head upstairs just in time to see the orders come in>put on a record of the latest chudcore music (thanks again your highness)>dump hot sticky loads of righteous fury all over anti monarchist scum>get a gold star from the type writer>scoop General Meow up off the map table for an afternoon napNow this is a proper gameplay loop
I was wondering how I could do TOT, since I have a watch and all of that, and I realized it shows ToF on the gauges on the fire console.Then I realized that the watch itself shows the ToF of each barrel, which means I just have to watch the watch and pull the handle accordingly. And I just achieved a double whammy within a second or so.I wonder if that can come in handy later on.

good morning /simg/
>>576661229it has a lot of issues but damn does napalm smell good in the morning
>>576661229For all the shit i can say about these russian faggots, the ground pounding, the damage models and mostly everything related to guns and weaponry is really good. Now if they could make some AI than isn't from two decades ago, that would be cool.Oh also i like that you don't have to browse random forums online to understand how the fucking plane you picked work. It was about time.
>>576661229I simply love the era, love the early jets you wouldn't believe Game looks and runs amazing, doesn't even turn my PC into a space heater which I truly appreciatePrice is high as fuck but sims have always been priced for people with moneyOverall, a nice base game to add onto in the future, we'll be playing this shit off/on for the next decade or so imo
>>576663914I think the entire AI model they use is just a mess of else-if lines. They need to scrap whatever 20 year old code they are using and find a new AI guy. IL-2 Blitz and Wings Over Flanders Fields have great AI, get one of them
>>576661229It's okay, I'm immune to shilling since I yar har'd it. I don't play multiplayer. Games pretty good, if they wanted to really impress me they'd add the Bell H-13 Sioux and let me live out my M.A.S.H fantasies. >>576655436That's a cool image. I love MiGs.

>>576661229who gives a fuck about random schizos on 4chan? if you want to talk about the game talk about it, if people want to shit on it they can and if they have valid points then maybe they're even worth engaging with. it's pretty easy to discount the retards and talk to the adultskorea is beautiful, but the ai sucks. at least the devs say they're actively working on it and know the ai is ahh. there's nothing to be said about the price tag, either you're willing to pay $80 for it or you're not. i pirated it

When you die, it's an instant black screen. The game's damage model is based primarily off of "hull integrity" for the player sub, with compartments and modules having simple health bars, for lack of a better term. The lower it gets, the more shallow your max depth becomes and you can get crushed at relatively shallow depths if you're already damaged. I believe it's the same in SH4, don't quite me on that though.
Ditto for the sinking passenger liner turned troop transport.The fact that the Type XXI crush depth, given you're completely undamaged, is 320m is so fucking amazing. The depth gauge in game maxes out at 260m, so needless to say you don't have to worry much about imploding.>Get pinged >Just shit out a decoy and flank speed to 230m>Silent running and get away no issuesThe fact that OAE also has the thermal layer modelled is nice too, it almost feels like cheating. Just drop below it and escorts will almost never find you. Granted, the game doesn't tell you how deep the layer is, your only cue is when all sounds of the sub and everything on the surface becomes more dull quiet sounding. And granted that in almost every other U-Boat aside from the VIIC/41, you can't take advantage of the layer because it's just too deep down for you to get to.
>>576705913What happens if one compartment reaches 0hp? Is it just completely flooded and unusable?
Continuing with U-2502>Later in the same day, 70km or so south of where I engaged the previous convoy, make hydrophone contact with another inbound convoy>Weather and high waves in my favor, keeps the escorts from hearing me as I race into position>Silent running, slow down and wait>Up scope, convoy comes into view out of the mist>Not as loaded with large ships as the last one, mostly small freighters and transports, less than 5,000 GRT>Spot an escort carrier in the center of the group next to a larger, 7,000 GRT freighter>Fire one magnetic pistol G7E III at each ship>Run time 90 seconds, plenty of time to get to depth and slip away before escorts can hope to find me>First torpedo hits amidship on the carrier, huge secondary explosion, carrier slows to a stop and starts listing heavily>Second torpedo strikes freighter just in front of the first mast, freighter still making headway but begins to quickly go down by the head>Carrier rolls over and sinks>Freighter makes it another few kilometers before the heavy seas swamp it and finish it off>U-2502 again slips away and continues south, by now only with half of their torpedoes remaining>>576706346Yep, it be flooded and either completely destroyed and irreparable, forcing you to pump the water out (if you can) and then RTB, or if you CAN repair it, it'll take over a day. Maybe more. As compartments flood, naturally that affects your buoyancy. Most of the time, you're screwed if one compartment is completely flooded. Though if you're lucky, you might be able to survive long enough not sink, break contact, then surface and head home. That's very rare though.

>>576701226>i pirated itbased can you lend a nigga the link?
>>576710171it's out on the rin, all the usual suspects. fatgirl, ramzes, etc
>>576710076Been a while since I played UBOAT but I remember that the AI for the escorts will ALWAYS drop the depth charges at your exact depth, which naturally isn't very realistic. I remember seeing a mod that fixes that. AI isn't very good and sometimes they do strange things like either telepathically always knowing where you are, or they just drop a pattern then fuck off permanently.Anyways, this is what I do in SH3. It's pretty universal for all WW2 subsims though.The deeper the better. Shallow water is a death sentence most of the time because you have less depth to maneuver with. Don't be broadsides to the escorts if they're pinging you with sonar. You want to try to present as small of a profile as possible, so have your stern pointing towards them or your bow. When they start their attack run, do a gentle turn to whichever direction away from themWhen they drop charges, you need to get away as soon as possible. Change depth, and course radically to put as much distance between you and the charges before they reach your depth (once again, deeper is better. takes longer for the charges to fall to you). Once they start exploding, rudder 0 and stay flank speed for a good few seconds, maybe 10 or so, then go back to as slow and as quiet as you can. The explosions will drown out your sound for a bit, but not very long. You can use that to slip away. Change course and depth every now and then and rinse repeat the above steps until you get away, the escorts fuck off, or until your luck runs out and you die. Sonar decoys help alot, drop one then change depth and course and put as much distance between you and it as possible. It's not an exact science, sometimes you just get raped (hedgehogs, ASW mortars)It's why early war, I always try to conduct attacks on the surface at night. Escorts can't hear you, and you have more time and space and speed to slip away from them after you fire torpedoes. Once radar becomes a thing though, that's not very feasible.
>>576711978So max speed to get away and then go quiet? I think I kept getting fucked by crawling along because I didn't want them to hear me.
>>576712698Pretty much, gotta open up that distance as much as you can somehow. If you're silent running and they begin pinging you and start dropping depth charges, the jig is up and there isn't any use to staying quiet anymore. What helped me a bunch with how to evade is watching Wolfpack345 play UBOAT and SH3. There's also steam guides as well for both games on how to evade and minimize the ass bungling that will surely ensue. Again though, the AI in UBOAT is almost criminal sometimes. Either it's John Depthcharge himself hunting you down, or the destroyers are screwed by Britain's finest selection of deaf quadriplegics. A shitty ASDIC set in 1939 wouldn't be able to pick out a submarine sitting on the bottom completely motionless making 0 noise, but somehow in UBOAT they can. A seasoned destroyer crew in 1942 should be able to hammer down on a u-boat at periscope depth with the snorkel up going at flank speed, but somehow in UBOAT they can't. It's why I play only SH3 nowadays for my submarine autism.
>>576713446I hate John Depthcharge

>>576710076NTA but settling on the bottom (which you can do in UBOAT if you're careful but can't in (vanilla) SH3) seems to make the AI lose track of you pretty quickly. Not sure if that's intended or a bug, it mentions in the manual that settling hides your sonar signature but I wouldn't think that should mean 'enemy instantly forgets your position and fucks off'.

Instead of running an embarassing counter-review campaign, IL2 devs could do themselves a favor by releasing a demo version. Pick 2 planes, keep the exams, and have a few task editor options to choose from, and let that impress players

>>576789235To be fair, the "fun" part of DCS is mostly learning the various aircraft inside and out, learning the quirks, the weird ideas of how the different systems should operate, some of which died out and some of which formed the bases of how it is to be done in later aircraft. It's more of a digital museum then anything, and actually flying them is more of a demonstration to yourself of how much you have learned.

>>576824213Sounds like a great deal then.
Iron Nest potentially dumb question: Are they using an actual ballistic model or is it just some "fantasy" one.Disclaimer: I know jackshit about external ballistics except that it's some kind of e based parabola.Now what I realized during the mission where the firing solution calculator us broken is that I can easily calculate the elevation as a fraction of the current load's max distance.E.g. if I have 2 charges that go to a distance of 10km at 60°, and to 5km at 30°, it will go 7.75km at 45° and so on, making this a strictly linear relationship.For some reason I was under the impression that it were more involved irl.
>>576829254Nah they fucked it up, if the barrel went to 100 degrees the shot would go even further.

>>576811508>bro' why are you complaining about a 50+ bucks updatez ? the module is amazing !!!
>>576829254He fucked up early in development using the wrong references and misunderstanding how such big shells behaved. He was a solo dev and would have to redo a bunch of stuff so he just kept it as is. So, the ballistics themselves are not realistic. But it doesn't hurt the gameplay.
>>576832247we really doi have high hopes for octopusG's yak ut1 and whatever they release after it
>>576834414>octopusG's yak ut1Didn't know about this one, but their I-16 and La-7 in DCS are absolute kino
>>576811508apparently they hard coded some behaviours the same way they do in War Thunder.
>>576839442That's how failures and edge-of-the-envelope flight dynamics have always worked in DCS.Shit like this is everywhere in this sim if you look under the hood at all. Chaff and flares are still a random-number dice roll. RCS is a number in a text file."Full fidelity" has always just been a smoke and mirror show for the ED marketing team.

>>576790401>>576791268>>576791080learning and mission making is my main draw to DCS but it would be nice to play multiplayer sometimes. Idk what is up with online. I close every other window and I have 48GB of RAM (Slightly missmatched DDR 4). Syria in single player is playable. I don't like iL-2 or BMS that much. I know I'd love NO but I sunk too much money into DCS to switch sims.
>>576863090Are you still running out of RAM in the game?
What's the point in DCS if playing it is the shittiest part
>>576863090Mixing RAM speeds might be fucking things up a bit for you, but Syria is hungry in general and will max out 64 gigs if things get busy on higher settings. There are a lot of options you can tweak for better performance, but start with lowering preload radius to 10k or under and see what happens to your frames.Core parking issues had me chasing performance gremlins for a while too
>>576857780All good, I'm just joking. It's true that it doesn't affect gameplay, so it's definitely tolerable.Though reading the FAQ right now I am a bit bummed that there really doesn't seem to be any kind of way (e.g. through some upgrade or something) to increase elevation.So no shooting over mountains ;_;
>>576832830I just handwave the shells have some kind of variable boost rocket assist.
>>576863665What's the best part?
>>576867442Thinking about it, complaining about it, and watching other people play it
I think the worst part of any sim for me is figuring out the keybinds and remembering them.
The learning process is what interests me the most in DCSThe accomplishment I felt landing my Hornet on the supercarrier the first time successfully, the first time I got a glide bomb to fucking work correctlyThe process is fun and frustrating to me but rewarding
>>576871515do you use joystick diagrams?
>>576775973I would prefer the duck but they will unironically never release one even Flaming Cliffs tier. Is too relevant rn.
>>576790401I agree, calling DCS a game is like calling XP a game. They are just not created for being ones.

>UK Releases RFI for New Jet Trainer and Red Arrows Aircraft>Boeing offers partial final assembly in the UK>Leonardo is open to final assembly but hasn't said muchThe sources I have also said that apparently Leonardo is pissed off with the UK both because of the shitshow with Yeovil and the heli contract and the fact that they dragged the trainer choice too much. Apparently the UK bid is now "low priority" and they are focusing more on the USN bid and the Japan bid as both would open new and bigger markets (Big contract with USN will make every other airframe and spare part more available and cheaper for new potential customers in the americas, and the same goes for Japan if they go for local production).My dream of the M-346 becoming the defacto GCAP trainer might be over.
>>576916258Leonardo probably also factors in the backlash that british tabloids would unleash due to the initial russian origins. Winning a contract for barely 24 airframes just to have your reputation dragged through the mud doesn't sound like a smart move.
>>576755495>>576756274That's why you're fucking morons, where is the body? Where is the plane? You're posting your perspective of the model and asserting that its the model itself.
>>576916661Leonardo (through AW) has a factory here though. Refusing to even license build american aircraft like in the past is like telling all the factory workers at AW here to go jump off a bridge. Not an uncommon sight in the UK as far as the defence industry goes, even the typhoon is at risk of simply not being made anymore because the government refuses to buy more.
>>576918662Yeah, but I think the issue comes before Leonardo can even say anything. The issue is that if the UK only buys 20-40 units (no matter who they choose) the economy of scale even for just having a FACO isn't there. If the UK says "who cares we need to make the next trainer at least british assembled" for propaganda purposes then you're wasting money that could've went to GCAP or other defence projects like your new CCA, etc.Realistically Leonardo won't refuse local assembly (local production is impossible for both) >Across at Leonardo, though there was notably less emphasis on the UK bid, both of the company’s potential options were featured at the airshow in the flesh. Leonardo’s own stand featured one of its M-345 jet trainers, while an Italian Air Force example of the more advanced M-346 was shown off in the static display park. >Nigel Colman, Managing Director of Leonardo Helicopters UK, ruled out the possibility of the company’s Yeovil site being used as the local manufacture element of any bid made, but Leonardo’s significant UK presence would almost certainly see local industrial involvement regardless of where final assembly takes place. The RFI calls for a “significant UK workshare”.IIRC Yeovil should still be safe with the AW149 order at least, but Leonardo was really close to just shutting down there due to the massive budget delays.

>>576928618Heh, I just reached this one, but I found the landing boat one already rather stressful (though I guss just waiting for them to land and then HCHE'ing their asses would make this rather easy lol), so I am currently taking a break.But regarding the moving and CBT (cock and battery torture), I found that in the earlier mission where you get CB the first time the timer also doesn't pause or something, because I used an emergency moving there.Maybe it's a general thing.But then again, the game hasn't been out for a week, so I would assume there's a patch coming soon. I personally would love to have different settings for controller or mouse because currently I have to invert/re-invert anytime I change between them.
>>576944075Yeah but the thread is called /simg/. I know we're all autistic but calm down.
>>576945802The landing boat mission had just the right amount of time pressure imo. Thought I did poorly but it worked out in the end. This one is just rough though. Sure I could be faster with plotting but even if I get faster at it there would only be seconds to spare. The timer works differently in that mission also. You getting acquired isn't tied to your rounds landing but happens automatically after a set amount of time and right now I can't re-establish my own position fast enough, locate the target and load/fire before I have to emergency move again so I'm just stunlocked having to redo everything without being able to shoot back.

>>576950743Maybe I reinstall DCS just for that
>>576947095letting go of the simulation mindset and embracing the video game reality can be freeing.
>>576952970Well so Nuclear Option NOT being a simulation is a good thing ? I agree then. I've always said NO was so good because its actually fun and easy to play.
>>576916258Sorry mate we don't want the Soviet Yak-130 thank you very much
>>576954748
>>576950383Planes in 40k normally have servitors in them managing stuff as well as a pilot, I have no idea what a 40k flight sim would be like.

>>576960543You don't need to roleplay when you have autism
>>576960727Roleplay is a whole other kind of autism i was very into back then. Now not so much, but i still play from time to time.When you think about it, playing sim games is also a kind of roleplay.
>>576961021Of course it is, you're roleplaying as a pilot, truck drivers or whatever
I'm the only child so you better believe i learned early to play alone and make up autistic scenarios in my mind. I fucking loved Lego so much.
>>576961338Are you me? I'm an only child too and my weekends were spent playing Lego, kinex and meccano, and then later GBC, PS1 etc.
>>576961515Exactly the same for me lmao
>>576950383Double Eagle by Dan Abnett is the only 40k material that (somewhat) goes into aerial combat that I can think of.

Not sure what throttle to get.Been Hosas'ing with twin VKB Gladiators in some space gaems and that's fun but I want to fly a real plane (or something very close to it).Could stick to VKB and get their STECS since it has lots of buttons anyways and it looks nice. But also like some of the other mid to high end ones I've seen too.Either way I'm not shelling out more cash to have a mounting plate for a chair mount I've spent a lot on already shipped to me from who the hell knows where so I'm thinking of making one. Got plenty of materials and tools to work with and my dad will probably get a kick out of making something with me out of the spare wood or sheet metal he has around.

Finally finished the campaign in UBOAT. From like November 44 on I only did like two or three patrols and sent my dudes on vacation as often as I could. In fact, they all saw the end of the war in the bavarian village. During the service quarter timeskip I got a bunch of pauses where I had to press the "Continue" button, but there was no notification or message whatsoever. Well done, devs, well done!The last few patrols were getting really annoying; everything was swarming with battleships and rarely and freighters. I shot some cruisers and destroyers out of sheer desperation.Also, the constant car door slam sound you get when there's a new hydrophone contact or something was getting increasingly irritating.All in all I don't regret playing it, but in its current state I wouldn't pay amy money. Glad I pirated it.
>>576973032I was really hyped, bought it after the DLC came out, and was disappointed by the bugs I found too.
>>576973032I bought it awhile back out and promptly returned it. Can't believe it's still in such a state all these years later.
>>576977452>>576973032I stand corrected. I still have it and never returned it. I completely forgot, got lost in the abyss of games called my Steam library.

Given the choice between the two following aircraft/sims which would you pick to master first?Option 1: F18 Hornet in DCSOption 2: F16 in Falcon BMS
>>577005931Personally I'm just a DCS whore all the way because I like the flight physics, I like the terrain detail, and I like the cutting edge VR tech. Those three things are very important to be.
>>577005931Option 3: Mi-8MTV2 in DCS

>>577067636I thought he was dead
>>577062985I'm the first to bash my own country, but in this case it's not on us. The UK MOD should've replaced their trainers at least a decade ago by funding a local company (Aeralis was DOA, let's be real)The moment they saw a british trainer was impossible they should've bought the M-346 and be done with it simply because it's a proven product which is already training RAF pilots, it's already in production, it's European, it's from a GCAP partner with massive UK positioning, and has known costs. Had they immediately chosen the M-346 back then they would've had priority production, delivery and bigger local industrial collaboration than anything they can get now since we have backlogs from 4-5 different customers to deliver. Boeing is desperate to get a first export customer, so they might go all in and promise the moon but deliver a rock like they did with the USAF, with these unknowns Leonardo is in a way smart to not expose themselves too much, especially considering it would be a normal sized order, and they can still try to push the "gcap trainer" with Japan and possibly Canada and Singapore seeing as they both want to join gcap.
>>577075810The T-7 will be built here, I'm not sure the 346 would have been which plays a big part in the deal.
Migger 23 never

>>577108849Looks great, can't wait for nobody to fly it
>>577113095>better Mig-17>nobody to fly itWell i know i will. The Mig-15 is a very pleasant plane.
>>577113095Sadly I have to agree, MIGers are eating decently, but we need a Sukhoi more than anything rn.
>>577113350I'd kill for a MiG-27
>>577114225I would have killed for a Mig-23 but clearly we're not getting shit.
>>577114225
>>577114730I saw an interview with an SU-25 pilot that said the vibrations from firing the gun would sometimes cause switches to flip. I assume that would also be a common problem here.
>>577114730>they make a Mig-27 module>firing the canon has a chance to wreck random modules>have the fucking instrument panel fall onto your laps mid flightIts so bad it loops back to being kino
Good night /simg/
>>577113279There might (eventually) be dozens of us.
>I'm going to fly the MiG-17 when it comes outit's not coming out
>>577123103Its ok, the Il-2 Korea DLC will definitely have the Skyraider ... haha ...
I bought this game and i have to say, it's fucking incredible. It will probably consume my life, everything is realistic and you learn a shit ton of things, if you are a military junkie.
>>577077352>The T-7 will be built hereIt will be not, Boeing and BAE never offered that. it will have at most a final assembly line. But it's extremely unlikely as it doesn't make economical sense (for both the UK and Boeing) unless you're buying 100+ units no matter who they choose. Leonardo was/is open for a final assembly line if it's the straw that breaks the camel's back as well, it's just that they're not as desperate as Boeing for this bid.
What's your preferred method for sinking flat tops?
>>576512291i bought it it's kino
>>577134973Yeah you're right I misread, still final assembly is better than nothing which is an incentive.https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/bae-boeing-and-saab-commit-to-uk-assembly-in-t-7-bid/I did hear that the M-346 is quite expensive so that would have been a factor.
>>577123971It's been on my wishlist for years, it's quite pricey so I haven't got round to getting it.
>>577141594>I did hear that the M-346 is quite expensiveCompared to previous trainers yes, compared to the T-7 I doubt it but it's impossible to know as the USAF bid has been a clusterfuck and Boeing has eaten the costs. I still doubt it will be cheaper to procure than any of the competitors seeing at how they are still in pre LRIP. Operational costs are definetly higher due to the afterburning engine and no other users. What worries me is that the UK is still talking about getting a replacement before 2030, which is literally impossible unless they plan to choose the M-346 or FA-50 and ask for the transfer of already in service jets. (similar to what WK did with Poland since they are still unable to produce the PL version)
>>577142516>mfw at the last minute BAE announce that they'll just upgrade the Hawk and we get to keep them for the next 100 years
>>577143723They can upgrade the T2 into the Hawk T2-AH.
>>577143723If they wanted to do that they'd have announced it years ago. BAE isn't in the business of building things anymore.
>>577143937Never say never
>>577144608that's a thirsty lad
>>577141676I grabbed it for 13 euros but i'd gladly pay 30 euros for it, if i didn't have the chance to get it cheaper
>>577146341>13 eurosWhere the fuck did you get it from? It's £68.59 normally, and I've seen it for about £30 in the sales.
>>577146553enebai also had some money from previous purchases there
>>577147726oh kek it's one of those sites, I've used them in the past and it was very shady, I think I got a Russian key.
>>577147809Yes, never had any problem with it though
>>577144608That's not Barry wtf
>>577148058I've bought 3 keys off them so far and never had a problem. On that note, from the 200+ keys I've bought over the years from various sites I literally didn't get burned once so I'm always curious when people go on about how risky it is.I never buy accounts or "gifts" though because that seems like a hassle having to keep a list with logins just for games.
>>577151414I'm on the r/steam discord and they have the name of the site literally banned, i think it's just propaganda
>>577151414I wouldn't worry about it, I got my W11 Pro keys for $11 off a site like that after I found out there is an OEM version and a retail version of Windows during a motherboard upgrade. Companies like Microsoft deserve to be stolen from when they engage in filthy jeet behavior like that, and they don't do shit about it because they think you'll end up paying for a Copilot365 license instead of just downloading Libre like a respectable person.

jesus fucking christ how are you supposed to be able to hover in an Mi-8 this feels impossibleeven with pedals jeez I feel like I'm trying to balance on an ice ball with one hand, one foot and my tongue
>>577183570Is your collective curve set up properly?
>>577183717I don't know, what should it be like? I've left all the axis on their defaults because I feel like mucking around with it will probably screw me up.The worst part is>slowed down>get to about <50kts>heli starts shaking>either retain collective at the same position, enter VRS, crash>increase collective, gain altitude, fly away from where I'm trying to hover
>>577183870From my experience your physical throttle and the curve for it can make a big difference in hovering because you can't find a sweet spot, so I would fiddle with the sensitivity and other settings and see what works.
>>577184141I'll try.I think possibly part of the difficulty is having the throttle set in reverse like a collective - maybe it's confusing my brain and making me go the wrong way by mistake
>>577184674That sounds awkward. I have a T1600000M throttle which is shit anyway so helis are a pain to hover, but adjusting the sensitivity helped, it's easy to get stuck either sinking or ascending when you can't find the sweet spot on the collective.
>>577185379it's not just that, it's probably just because it's early days but I feel like I'm really struggling to coordinate both pedals and stick and collective at the same time.
>>577186129Oh right, well that's just a case of git gud
>>577183570You'll get the hang of it. I just kept practicing until it made sense. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvQr6km2AoU&t=1243sYou have to be real gentle with the controls. She's really touchy. Is this your first helicopter?

>>577183870>increase collective, gain altitude, fly away from where I'm trying to hoveryou're pulling too much collective
>>577188846You choose correct. If I were at my desktop I'd try to explain. That video I linked, that guy's channel is the best Hip tutorials on YouTube. He'll answer just about all your questions. Hovering is an art.
>>577188846>>577189862I drew a diagram that should help
>>577190717Almost accurate but I'm smiling while crashing.
>>577190717Based anon helping the less vertically inclined.
>>577189450>>577189470>>577189862>>577190717Thanks anons. I've watched that guy's youtube videos before, there's just a lot to take in.At least swapping to NO for a bit and helicopters are now MUCH easier to fly in that, by comparison.
Also >>577183717 I did this and now it's definitely a bit easier to manage the collective
>>577183570It's easier to do in VR. Still kinda hard though, you're going to have to sink a couple hundred hours.
>>577203350Is that a Migger-15 with a camera on the nose ?

Might be time to upgrade the HOTAS soon... coming from picrel, what would you recommend? I have a grown man budget.
>>577221276Drop $2000 at the Virpil website, and then go on a six month drug and hooker bender so you don't notice the wait.
>>577221276If you want quality, i second virpil. I didn't had to wait that long for my stuff tho.
>>577222240>>577222432Ill check it out but 2000 bucks is a bit much even for me (I can afford it but wife would demand to be able to buy 2000 dollars worth of nonsense)How is the WinWing/WinCtrl stuff? That seems more my range
>>577222742Winwing is the next highest recommended simslop here, it's also good shit but it's made in China so you may have to do a return to replace a faulty unit, something you NEVER have to worry about with mom and pop Lithuanian craftsmen.Also Virpil has their budget line now, which I can attest to the quality of the throttle at least.
>>577224647Chinese made used to be an instant no for me but my Moza driving setup is really nice and priced perfectly imo
>>577224939I've been buying a bunch of mid-priced Chinese pocket knives lately, it's fucking scary how good they are for the price (I'm a manufacturing engineer).
>>577224939currently in the golden age of cheap chinese sim hardware, prices are lowest on taobao if you can find a forwarder and tolerate risk
>>577228724I would never tolerate risk on something more than a hundred dollarsId rather pay a little more and have some actual recourse if it doesnt show up
