>>579081575>Pants: jizzed
>>579081873>20 carsKind of funny growing uup in Appalachia where you see 100 car coal trains as the average. Sad they closed the mine near my house and the tracks have been abandoned for years. Thanks Obama.
>>579082663>>579081873I can't count over 20, apparently. There's at least 70 cars there.
>>579082663>>579082878The 20 cars was for a different train I had selected
Bump
tromb tower
>>579089554I always bomb it
>>579089554Do they have a Mandela Bay?
For me, it's the T-6.
I'll admit, its kinda fun doing some sling and switch maneuvers with this game
>>579093047That name is trademarked, in the Nevada map it's slightly changed to "Mandalay Bay".
he is okay
>>579039435I honestly don't know, there are mods and addons that change them, I presume it's to reduce memory load and such but they look fucking weird.
>>579100909definitely a performance thing. msfs is ubiquitous, they want it to run on potatoes.they should definitely leave this configurable in-game though and not require mods to upgrade them if your PC is capable enough
>>579101352I don't expect them to be like the cars in pic related, but I don't know why they all look melted. Maybe there's a reason for it, like they look right from a distance.
>>579095867The penis cream?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9U1ejWZntsThis looks fun
>>579112210What plane is this? I'm shit at that era of jets as often you just have only the sorts of gauges and their orientation to go on.
>>579112953It's the T-38. It's really not too bad once you get used to it. For me the hardest thing about jets like this is that I always think landing speed should be slower than it is and get into panic thrust.
>>579113268There are two T-38 addons for MSFS and there's so little online about either of them it's hard to find much in terms of a review.> I always think landing speed should be slower than it is and get into panic thrust.I know what you mean, the T-33 catches me off guard for that too as it feels like you're going far too fast, but no that's the approach speed.
>>579115936Why don't you fly other planes any more? What happened to the poor SF.260?
pls keep the thread going overnight
>>579125647But the sun isn't even down yet.
why you guys died
F18's pretty coolI'll admit that it didn't do much for me before but I think a lot of that is just down to the default livery being kind of lame. All grey looks terrible.
>>579101567Given most players only see them at a distance they probably just put stock car model assets through the decimate filter in Blender with a really low ratio set.
>>579134457Going supersonic past that "Luxor" would be cool.
Like something like this goes MUCH harder>>579135013Definitely. I don't think it has the big spotlight at night unfortunately. (also I crashed like half a second after unpausing from taking that screenshot)
>>579125647I went to give it my usual midnight PST bump, but then I saw the thread had been gang raped to death by anime faggots and furries.Then I was too tired to make a new one and figured the Aermacci rep would handle it.

>>579170525Is there a day/night cycle in NO and weather?
>>579118120I still fly it, but I often forget to take screenshots
To satisfy my tubeliner urge I've decided to finally learn the C-17
>>579179032>the five million fuses are not modelledShit plane 0/10
>>579179182Doing a tour of the cockpit, there's a ridiculous amount of stuff in it but some of the gauges are really low resolution, presumably to manage performance. They look shit up close but fine further back and it's only these minor ones that are really bad.
>modelled toilet and galleyBASED
>>579170848yes there is, although the weather doesn't change once set
Need to make myself some nice heli missions.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CpeUn7_qT4Apparently MSFS doesn't like you using reverse thrust in flight so you can't do a tactical descent, which is a shame because they look fun.
>>579183924Do a barrel roll
>>579184064
>>579184639
>>579182495"I love this job" is a great civilian one for Syria.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4NExEGVglIIf you're comfortable with cold starts, try Rotorheads or BSD's Helo World servers, lots of rotary combat ops for you without fucking around in mission editor.
>>579187975I've glown in rotor ops and it was a nice experience. I miss the SAR / Firefighting server though.
>>579188205>glownNew simming word just dropped
Final Orbit stuffhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ys5Ezcuo32Yhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRHY3W3xQtc
>>579192305Are the drop tanks physical objects in X Plane? If you jettison them inverted do they kill you? Asking for a friend who definitely doesn't want to use them as weapons.
>>579193007They are weapon objects .wpn and the reason I can't change their textures but every module I have treats them as intangible afaik. The weapon physics aspect of Xplane is pretty barren.
>Why yes I do spend my weekends reading documentation for simulated planes for fun, how could you tell?It's actually been really comfy as it's raining irl and in the game with some thunder and lightning so I have simulated rain to read the manual to.
I have now read through the manual and I'm onto the procedures, which are quite long. I'll just be doing circuits until I get used to the plane.
I'M SCARED LADS, I turned the master battery on and a woman shouted 'wax fail' at me, maybe she has hairy legs.
>>579198249oh nice, they include a CPAP machine for their pilots for when they take a nap
>>579206931kek
>finally start it up>now have to go and do something else that isn't simmingreeeee what a tease
>>579209897after a while starting up the aircraft becomes 90% of the fun.
>>579213939>be me>flying cold war aircraft>starts in under 60s>still autostart every timelife's too short for INS alignment
>>579213939It does have lots of buttons to press>>579215112INS is gay I'll give you that
>>579221873>Here we see a bigger and stronger plane bullying a smaller one for it's fuel, while an even smaller one waits nearby to collect leftover scraps
Did some racing. ACC, AMS2, ACEvo and... Raceroom. I find the last one the most enjoyable. Maybe because the FFB feels as smooth as with a Direct Drive wheel on my T300. There's none of that middle dead-zone, resistance is progressive and all the road details and curbs feel rubbery and bouncy, rather than jittery. I also like that's it's an old engine, proper anti-aliasing, good lighting, to make up for lack of fancy shaders and the cars look very detailed.
>>579223176>vampire planes
>>579223176Nah, their taking turns sucking him off.
>>579225496nice
man i just want to dogfight another human. what's the best game out rn for dogfighting 1v1, or even 1v2 1v3 etc
>>579244325unironically w*r th*nder, the dcs dogfighters server also has 1v1 airquake more or less 24/7/365 and is high skill cap as long as you're in a viper or a hornet
>>579248430sorry im not playing war thunder
>>579248430The fuck is this? Getting in the toilet bowl?
>>579250319it's the most active and populated 1v1 human dogfight option, sim battles are good for getting theory reps in>>579250363offset 2 circle
>>579250834i like war thunder, i think my problem is that by the time i find a sim battle my two under 2 kids are screaming and i have to get up to fix em kek
Took the autogyro out. What a meme.
>>579165328>hey guys>working on making XPlane better>I swear
does anybody do a good autogyro simulation?
>>579257792did u see that video from a few days ago of that guy flying a gyrocopter in spain i think it was and he hit a cable and burst into a fireball midair with his passengershit was crazy
>>579260338my bad, it happened in italy. 62 year old pilot and his 63 year old sister in law hit a cable in Antrona valley. authorities have yet to determine whether they're marked properly on regional VFR charts or not
>>579260338Yeah that was the inspiration lol.
>>579250834I recently started playing a bit of WT sim in VR and it's not too bad. Binding my hotas was a bit of a ball ache.Its nice getting kills for once when it comes to PvP dogfighting. I guess the bar isn't that high thoughTracers keep throwing me off though, they look too thick and it's hard to judge the range I just got the Henschel so I'm tempted to do some duck ops
bump
Slow day...
Is it worth to get MSFS 2024 when I already own 2020?I saw that it uses up way less disk space, and mods/addons for 2020 seem to work on it too (mostly asking because i bought Taogs Alouette III)
>>579247645Where's dat ?
>>579285485Yes, especially if you fly rotary. Ground textures and helicopter physics are greatly improved over 2020.
>>579285485Yes it is an upgrade and addon devs are ending 2020 support now and only developing planes for 2024.
Ok finally managed to fix the bridge and expand the rail West.... aaaand I think I had enough
>>579309669I'll admit the logistics aspect is really tempting, having to micro shunting all the time makes it the both strongest and weakest point,like the challenge to optimize shunting maneuvers, the AI helps it make it a bit less tedious, but having to do everything at real time makes it a huge time sinker,also it would help to have a bit more quality of life, having to manually dis/connect the hoses with each attachment all the time makes it hands on even with the AI on control
Just for reference, we know Derail Valley is more targeted towards the sim side, but even then it kinda does third person view better,even if it doesn't have autopilot, the outer UI is really well done, with everything you need a finger a touch, including de/coupling and etc
>>579288469>>579308879I got it, but the control setup menu is still doo-doo compared to DCSWhile i do own a HOTAS, i want to try and get it to work with a controller so i can use it to just fly around a bit without setting TrackIR and the stick upare there any useful guides for that?i just wanna dick around in the Alouette or some small Piper Cub-esque planes
>>579312289The control setup is much better than 2020, you can save profiles per plane, but it's still a pain in the arse to set up initially. The 360 controller works really well with the game already. Just to warn you Taog's Alouette hasn't been updated for 2024 and the physics are not the best, it seems to lack translational lift, or at least the last time I checked it in 2024 it didn't.
any Workers & Resources enjoyers here? thinking i might pick it up while it's on sale
>>579315680I like it. I haven't put a ton of hours into. It's a pretty complex and layered have with some jank. Still, in my limited playtime, it's one of my favorite city builders because the infrastructure is a big part of it. I'll play some when I get back home. The game is tutorials hell for awhile.
>>579312289the only way out is through, anon.>>579315680worth it, also has its own thread
>>579313086Yeah i found a guide on youtubeand that's a shame about the Alouette III, it's my favorite helo, at this point i doubt he'll update itbut it works, so not too badany other recommended cool planes in 2024?
>>579318389What do you want to fly?
>>579318514Helicopters, Bushplanes (is there a PC-6?) and military stuff
>>579286232Black Canyon of the Gunnison near Gunnison, CO. It's pretty neat IRL.
>>579320258https://msfsaddons.com/2026/04/11/our-updated-list-of-aircraft-currently-available-for-microsoft-flight-simulator/Cowansim helis are good, the Mi-2 is supposed to be good too. There is a PC-6 already in the base game but there are other better ones by Blackbird Simulations and Flight Sim Games
I actually managed to do a terrible circuit in the C-17, it's surprisingly nimble when it's empty and has low fuel, the landing was grim though.
>>579326180Is that the Blacksquare Caravan?
>>579326603Yup.
>>579326848I used to fly the Carenado one loads in the FSX days
>>579327116Caravan is one of my favourites
More racist stuff. Tried the new ACEvo patch yesterday. Jesus what a turd this is. FFB is weird with all sorts of effects I have no idea what they indicate or why they are there. I tried the new Rx 7. It drives like shit oversteery on the throttle initally and then understeer hell once you start to slide and control it. Sound is also weird. I also really hate the graphics. ACC was bad, but only because of the way UE handles aliasing, so everything is a bit blurry, but it looked great in certain condition.Evo on the other hand looks cartoony, like worse than the original AC. Trees look like ass and have major pop-in issue. I don't get it, racing sims had at least trees figured out ages ago - flat textures made in a way that felt photorealistic. Now it looks like cotton-candy. The cherry on the cake is the setups though. I was trying to compare how it handles vs other sims, so I took a GT3 911 Rennsport car (supposedly faster version) and did a lap at Watkins Glen. Been driving this in AMS2 and Raceroom a lot, so I can do pretty a decent lap time there (1:49ish on a good day). To my surprise this faster version was like 5-6 seconds slower. I decided to investigate the setup and my jaw dropped. Suspension values are like maxed out. It's like 30000N/mm or something, shocks are set to the same values all across. Standard spring rate settings for a 911 in other sims are around 200N/mm. I'm guessing the setup menu is a placeholder maybe, but how the fuck can anyone claim this game is realistic. It's ugly, undercooked and drives like Need for Speed Shift.On the flip side, I fucked up my downshifts on corner entry in 60's F1 car in AMS2 today and blew my engine. Anyone claiming this is simcade and then sucking off a Kunos game is an idiot.Pic-rel is 911 GTE on Laguna, nothing is burning, just locked up my tyre and exhaust flames happend at the same time.
