346 lad, my fellow trainer connoisseur, have you heard of the Fokker S.14 Machtrainer? Because I hadn't.1955 Dutch but with a Rolls-Royce engine, only 21 made, side-by-side seating with apparently enough room to theoretically have a third crew member. Three fatal crashes in the 60s. I don't know why it was called the Machtrainer as it had a max speed of 390kn.
>>582695646This looks fun but aren't there more important things that the dev should be working on than firing guns from the helicopter?

>>582695906Firing guns from the helicopter is very important for those times when you've spent all your real weapons, but there's just those one or two annoying stragglers left.
>>582695906>>582712398charlie hates this one simple trick
>>582688747To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Airliners. The skill is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of procedure most of the flying will go over a typical gamer's head. There's also the Pilot's cautious anticipation, which is deftly woven into the routines - the operating philosophy draws heavily from Ernie Gaan's literature, for instance. The jetlinerchads understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of the checklist, to realize that they're not LARP - they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike airliners truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the gravity in PM's existential catchphrase "Vee One!," which itself is a cryptic reference to Rejected Takeoffs and The Go No Go Decision. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Juan Browne's genius wit unfolds itself on their computer screens. What fools.. how I pity them.And yes, by the way, i DO have a Boeing tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the flight attendant's eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid

Never been into Airliners/General (I like military planes more) aviation but I started play X-Plane 12 and it's been pretty fun larping in the King Air C90b, for whatever reason this shit is hitting my brain like crack despite really only manual flying during takeoff and approach. Sorry I ever doubted you airline/ga autist, now I'm reading about all these aircraft... but damn do I wish my PC wasnt a shitbox because the frames are a struggle

>>582831019Airliners look boring to fly in sim but are actually pretty fun. Learning the systems, inputting stuff in FMC and reacting to ATC are nice

>>582831019>I started play X-Plane 12Do you have trouble too with braking? I don't have pedals so even with custom .lua scripts for gentle braking I end up swaying left and right every time I start braking after a landing. I found limited success with the "wheelbrakes" axis, but my hotas doesn't have a free slider for it
>>582830317Do you drive irl? If yes, how are they compared to actual cars? Compared to actual racing sims?
Get in loser, we're going to commit war crime.
>>582831019Airliners are fun, planes in general are fun, but a large portion of the simming community fly nothing but airliners and have probably never done a circuit in their lives. I'm enjoying the C-17 because it scratches the IFR airliner itch I sometimes get but is more interesting. I love flying little planes by hand, but putting the plane on autopilot and just looking out the window is fun too.>King Air C90bThat's not an airliner mate

UPDATE ON THE TORTELLI CON BURRO NOCCIOLA E SALVIA SITUATIONI did it, at last, with fresh salvia. Didn't find no tortelli so those fat ravioli filled with spinach and ricotta did the trick. I probably didn't let the butter cook for long enough but it did brown a little and got more flavourful. Salvia got slightly harder without crisp, its texture was pleasant and all in all the flavours mixed very well. Not sure how to mantecate but well, it was ok.The bottom line is that it was quick and easy to do for a nice result, even if I probably fucked up compared to Italian standards, there may have been too much butter and not enough leaves. Will try again. And thanks again for the recipe.
>>582888842

>>582888842They look great, nice job and nice patch.>Didn't find no tortelli so those fat ravioli filled with spinach and ricotta did the trickyeah it was a mistake on my part as outside of italy the big ones are always called ravoili, and the distinction from tortelli and ravioli is slim. >fucked up compared to Italian standardsCan't really fuck up our food as long as you use good ingredients it's the simplest cuisine in the world imho. Don't believe food influencers who say you need nonna's special heirloom tomato stored alongside B61 nuclear bombs at Ghedi to make an authenticâ„¢ sauce/dish etc
>>582898385>Can't really fuck up our food as long as you use good ingredients it's the simplest cuisine in the world imhoI agree, but you know sometimes there are some little techniques in timing or heat management to enhance an already nice meal.>special heirloom tomatoAs an Italian you may not know how difficult it can be to finds good tomatoes northward.

>>582910051Fucking kek imagine him spending ages setting up the FMC only to get griefed by a passing Rafale
I don't know what the big yellow thing is in the sky, but it isn't realistic, you don't see that in England.
>>582914016ur plane iz on fire lol
>>582914940OH FUK IM OUT
>>582916739I presume it doesn't have an eject animation or anything? That's something I haven't seen in an MSFS plane.
>>582921696Nope, you can kick the canopy out but no ejection.
Everything will be fine.
>>582873290I do but it's because I play on a Xbox controller>>582886336I know it's not, was just mentioning I never tried sims like X-plane because I wasn't into Airliners OR general aviation. I do still have to try an airliner though, just not sure which one, they scare me a bit though
>>582936903To be honest trying a business jet might be a good way to get into them as they're often easier to manage. The old airliners have loads going on, especially if they have a flight engineer, the newer ones require getting used to interacting with the onboard computers, specifically the FMS which handles things like takeoff and approach speeds, your route, vertical navigation etc.
reinstalled il2 bos, man the control binds in this game are dogshit. zoom doesn't seem to work no matter what i try, but flying in formation with a wingman is as good as I remember it.
>>582921696I think 2024 doesn't allow the pilot to leave the plane when it's in motion, even programmaticallyBut maybe you could1) do explodey effect2) spawn full-plane parachute like the Vision Jet3) turn plane invisible
yeah
>>582936903I have 737 from PMDG and it is very good. However it has a steep price now. A320 is also highly praised and cheaper. If you like to combine 2 worlds and fly some IFR procedures, high altitudes but also be a VFR GA plane on the side, the TBM 850 by Black Square is a great plane.
>>582904721>honey, I'm sorry I sold the house and the car, but you should really try this tomato.
>>582936903>spoilerno shame in that. before buying an hotas I did a full dcs campaign with a ps4 controller. I still fly with a controller whenever I can't be bothered to take out everything.
>>582952234I was never sure if that was hard coded into the game or something a dev could get around, it would be hilarious if you just Shift+C'd and fell out, and yes I do try it in every plane. Surely having an eject animation would just be like having a new camera, and devs have already done that with missile cameras.
>>582946925There's something very comfy about autogen at night, it sort of feels like going outside the playable area in a PS2 game and looking around at things you're not supposed to see, buildings that are just supposed to be in the background.

Look at this shit and no not the landing which was terrible, but look how choppy this is. I kept blaming the game but I actually think this has started since installing AIG traffic. I'm going to remove it and see if it improves.
>>583033990I had the same problems with FSLTL and its heavy textures aircraft. Now using AIG and don't see any problems. What injector are you using? Maybe it's the number of aircrafts spawning.
>>583033990Yeah that was it, I just did a quick approach and it was fine, there's the usual MSFS stutter but nothing like what I had before.>>583034852I was just using AIG with default traffic, so had put the effects/modelbehaviour/oci folders in my Community folder. It was really eating into my RAM too, but I wasn't quite hitting the limit and I'd only get that choppiness at big airports. Maybe it's just a case of high quality liveries + a lot of traffic.

>>583059794I played a lot of Snowrunner. It's specifically one vehicle DLC, the Zikz 612h Mastodon, that can trivialize the game if you use it.

>>583081301How dare you remember me. I haven't played it for ages, I got a bit bored/frustrated. It wasn't even because of hard mode really, it's because levelling up takes forever, I hadn't even unlocked the fucking offroad tyres for the trucks. I did however realise, possibly thanks to your advice that going to Alaska early was a better idea than the other place which gets very difficult. I'll return to the game at some point, but continuing, I'm not doing all that shit again..

>>583152224No, I got it off flightsim.to in a sale, I have a nasty feeling there are two versions around the inibuilds version is the only one with three cockpits variants, which is shit if that's the case.

>>583374215I've been doing that but it feels 'wrong' somehow, like everyone else knows how to fly it manually but I'm playing bowling with the guards up and the big slide for the bowling ball.Like trying to keep on-speed AOA manually, I've been using the approach ATC up to this point because I just can't seem to consistently fly AOA AND turn or descend I just keep oscillating up and down and up and down.
>>583373718do you have a hotas? Try to play with your curves.
>>583374525Trim your plane to your desired attitude. You should never wrestle the stick.
>>583374487Oh I've been raging at this, alright, see webm related.>>583374561I do yeah, winwing orion 2. I feel like when I'm trying to make small adjustments it's constantly either not enough or too much. I've not put curves on it so far because I've been told you shouldn't have to do that. (though I've been learning the Hip and I only started being able to control it at all after I put curves on)>>583374801If you mean for on approach then I get how to do that, but trying to adjust AOA/pitch through throttle feels way too slow and I end up constantly overadjusting, or not adjusting enough.
>>583375135I've also got winwing orion 2. Try to hold it closer to the down of the base. You should have finer movements then.
>>583375135If you are flying a stick without an extension, curves are your friend.
>>583375135>If you mean for on approach then I get how to do that, but trying to adjust AOA/pitch through throttle feels way too slow and I end up constantly overadjusting, or not adjusting enough.I mean you need to trim all the time you're not changing your attitude.But for approach related business, the throttle dance that never stabilize is a classic that I'm not out yet myself. From my understanding it comes from not knowing the landing circuit and the speed/RPM parameters you're supposed to keep at each point : when you're set on the 5% slope (or whatever the manual says) at the correct speed and correct AoA then you should glide down without having to touch the throttle very much.Also keep in mind that throttle adjustments are tricky in a jet engine. The higher the RPM the fastest the spool time, so try to never go below 85% or something, using the airbrake is much easier and efficient (some planes have a minimum use altitude though). However, and despite that slow spooling, even small power changes translate to large slope variations, so be gentle, stop early, and always compensate by moving the throttle the opposite way after correcting to prevent speed buildup or loss.Just my 2 cents, hope that helps, shit's not easy.
>>583378780Basically this and learn to not overcorrect. In case of the CASE I and aircraft carrier remember the burble effect which is simulated in DCS. It will decrease your lift. Be prepared. I don't know how hornet flies, because I only did case I in tomcat and A-4, but I think most of this shit is the same regardless. Don't overcorrect and be calm and practice
>>583379329>remember the burble effect which is simulated in DCS.HOLY FUCK! I thought I was psyching myself out, I had no idea this was simulated.
>>583375778>>583375817>>583378780Thanks anons, that's much appreciated. I'll try some curves and see if that makes a difference.
Sometimes you're simply too high on the slope.
>>583381613Also do not look at the deck. Look at the ball only. I see you have the supercarrier dlc, so it should be easier for you. Ball, lineup, angle of attack in that sequence.
>>583382661Yup, that's a hill.
>>583336389
With all this case 1 recovery stuff I felt like I had forgotten the actual joy you can have with combat flight sims: dropping GPS/TV guided ordnance on structures far out of their range to fight back.
Is DCS World the go-to for a modern-setting and modern visuals for combat sims? Trying to set up my brother with a game for him to try my VR setup with and see if he wants to invest in that, too.
>>583399828Yes, and DCS has also been at the cutting edge for VR tech for a long time as well.
>>583396528oh so the babymode shit
>>583399828You can abuse the Frogfoot, the Skyhawk mod, and the two-week trial system to play DCS for free indefinitely, as long as you're mentally strong enough to resist slavic marketing strategies.
>>583402593yes
>>583404379LOL, saved!
>>583374525this is the wrong way to think about planes, especially jetsthey're designed with instruments and avionics in mind. you're literally meant to use them. half the jets made today aren't even stable without fbw, they're meant to fly themselves. trying to stick and rudder a hornet because u think ur getting mogged is hilarious
>>583411540you're not supposed to use the autopilot on a Case 1 carrier approach
>>583411739ok?
>>583411968glad we sorted that out

>>583433724Fishbed has always been perfect. Skill issue.
>>583435491it's a fun plane, but i remember there was some technical issue i had with it that i don't remember any specifics of now because it's been so long since i've flown it.

>>583476610Hard to say. It is a very peaceful game where absolutely nothing happens when you sail between islands. There are occasional storms and big waves when you must do something but other than that it's just trading and sailing. Sailing is decent, simulation is very good.

I feel the need. The need for speeed.
The more I look at the tail of the 2015 Red Arrows tail livery the less it starts to look like their flag and just a bunch of shapes. This one I tried to copy 1:1 as if it was on the Hawk tail, but I'm starting to think I should've redone it differently since it's fictional in the first place.
I feel the need for a bump.
Have some Sailwind.

How do you know if flight or space sims are really for you? I had a honeymoon phase getting back into space games with Star Citizen, then I played some Ace Combat, but now I’m questioning whether putting more money into flight gear is actually worth it.Part of the problem is that flight and space sims feel like pretty small and limited genres. For serious flight sims, it’s basically X-Plane, MSFS 2024, DCS, and maybe Nuclear Option. For space, it’s mostly Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen. There are obviously other games, but the number of major titles where expensive flight gear really makes sense feels pretty limited.Sim racing seems like a better investment because there are so many racing games out there, and the same wheel and pedals can work well across serious sims and more casual games. With flight gear, it feels like the game needs a fairly complex flight model before the hardware really becomes worth using.
>>583629349You try them. DCS has free trials, most others are reasonable on sale. You don't need hardware, you can play competitively with an Xbox controller or even on mouse and keyboard. Hardware is for enjoyment and immersion, it's not a requirement. Webcam headtracking is the only real QoL minimum.There aren't a lot of titles, but there's a lot to learn. You can dump hundreds of hours into a DCS module and feel like you've barely scratched the surface in terms of what the airframe is capable of. Some of the general skills transfer from props to jets to helicopters, but there's always more to learn and practice and you can put thousands of hours into mastering a type. The time and money sink can be equivalent to getting a real-life pilot license if it really hooks you.If you get moderately excited at planning a cross-country flight with pen and paper, or think you'd enjoy drilling unguided munitions release patterns on a static range for a few hours after work on a weeknight, you might be autistic enough to spend $40 on a sim game
I need the cargo plane in NO right now
Derail Valley update in 2028
>>583629349there is an entire flightsim peripheral industry which is trying to milk you for as much money as it can so you can enjoy home simulatorsif you want to talk about 'investment' or 'value for money,' the answer is the minimum money you can spend to operate your chosen program, since anything more expensive will only offer diminishing returnsyou might have to get creative to find solutions for less common inputs, if you're not willing to do that, then it's likely that your hobby isn't flight or space simulation, but spending money on flight and space simulation hardware. And you certainly wouldn't be alone in having that hobby.
>>583631859Hey, I remember this place !>>583629349>>583634029>You try them. DCS has free trials, most others are reasonable on sale. This. I tried DCS on a whim two years ago, playing with a battered old Xbox gamepad, and had huge fun (mostly doing nav actually). I played for around one month using only trial licenses.Then I "tried" MSFS2020, and when 2024 arrived I bought it. Andd then some hardware. And honestly I don't need other titles - even if I'm looking to come back to combat sims- it has comprehensive flight modeling and a whole simulated Earth on scale 1:1 down to individual houses to play with.
Modders are just turning NO into different games now
What's the one thing you're missing from your sim enjoyment ?For me it's having a decent chair/desk setup, with mounts. My whole pc station is an ergonomic nightmare.

the backwards flags meant to be "forward facing" is a retarded concept. i hate seeing it on planes
>>583669971Rudder pedals definitely as well as a decent stick and throttle.
>>583655542NTA but building a home cockpit can be a full hobby on its own, you can do a lot of crazy shit with a bodnar board and a 3D printer these days
>>583681840It makes sense tho
>>583683086i mean, it's a painted image, not a literal flag. it doesn't blow in the wind. personally i think it looks dumb on patches and planes. literally looks backwards
>>583683279You get used to it
>>583559351
>>583684984JUST
>>583682892you don't need a home cockpit to play flight simulator
>>583629349Ace Combat isn't a sim. You also don't benefit from good gear for Space Sims as it doesn't make that big a difference compared to flight sims, they're also not actual sims. As for actual flight sims there aren't that many modern games to pick from, but games like MSFS and DCS have infinite replayability and a huge third party scene means there's tonnes of content.

Fun fact, this building is completely empty.
Bought a webcam. Spent 10 minutes setting up Opentrack and AITrack.I now have head tracking. Shit's a bit uncanny (you move the head in one direction and your eyes in the opposite) but it feels good already.
>>583711243You get used to it quickly, and it has got to the point where I will move my head in some games expecting head tracking when there isn't any.
>>583684984
>>583711243>>583712068if you really want something uncanny try playing *rma, reforger has opentrack support out of the box. first few firefights feel extremely offputting
>>583663456>and a whole simulated Earth on scale 1:1 down to individual houses to play with.Those fuckers modeled my house as a tiny little c.uck shed
>>583714140That's accurate then
>>583712068Shit's great to taxi taildraggers.But I need to fine tune it better, I have trouble giving quick glance to the instruments. Either there is too much lag, or the movement is too strong.

>>5837691845th Gen Fishbed™ in progressoriginal 90° delta wing make radar horny. horny radar mean raped airplane... so sweep trailing edge 57° like lead edge for softer penetration.naughty vertical stabilizer? same same. replace with sneaky V wing. now fishbed closer ready for steal bike
>>583772132Looks like room for a copilot, radar operator, flight engineer, bombardier, and tail gunner in there.
>>583775230And lots and lots of lollies!!!!
>>583775230the fishbed is deceptively long at ~15 meters. i don't think photos do its length justicethis space goes to fuel, radar, and internal weapons though. altho i can probably fit a twink or two in the missile bays after i design them
>>583776750oh and of course the engine which will take up most of the room. on a real fishbed the fuselage mostly functions as a giant intake duct for the engine that took up the back half of the plane. the hardest part of designing it for the original engineers was fitting fuel in the thing
>>583724823>DH 350Did you imput that or did the rafale calculate it? It seems way too low
>>583779505AFAIK it's the default value for the Rafale.
>>583772132after much deliberation the council of imaginary slavic supervillains that live in my psyche has decided to go with the turboramjet as the engine of choice. naturally
>>583779505>>583783264Edit : seems coherent with the real thing, you can see it at 9:15 here :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVrE-h62llA
>>583783387it fliesignore the boxy wings, they're just enclosed while i work on the internal bays. the enclosure is turned off and doesn't actually affect the aerodynamics at all
>>583783445>>583783264I stand corrected
>>583763910You were right, the default Opentrack plugin is a notch better.Also, that shit wasn't made for third person view.
>>583785750Good job on capturing the elegance of 50s Soviet prototypes.
>>583785750I think it might look better if the nose was a bit shorter
>>5837857501300kph at 1200m altitude isn't bad at all eh. same max speed at low altitude as the real mig21 before the engine risked burnout. mine has the same stealth profile as an F-35 though kek (well, from the front, which is the important one anyways)>>583787192thank you thank you. when i am done with this fishbed, i will upgrade it into a dual-engine jet with cool stabilators like the F-22 has. a fishbed to rival the raptor if you will
>>583787458it's 15 meters long like the real one. the fuselage is slightly waisted where the wings connect, so it has a skinnier middle but the nose is .9 meter across as the real one and it's about 4 meters tall like the real onei think the swept wings and lack of vertical tail wing make it look extra skinny. i could probably extend my canopy towards the nose more though, i had it further out earlier
>>583788473Interesting, maybe it looks different because the real one's nose slopes down slightly.
>>583788220sneaky fish
it looks really long
>>583796803What does the back seat look like in the 346?
>>583796954It's a MB.
>>583796803meant to quote >>583790039
>>583797467arr rook same, isn't that the same cockpit as the 346? Apparently there's an MB339 for Aerofly FS, I wonder what it's like.https://www.aerofly.com/features/aircraft/mb339/
>>583797703it's like they took the CD hud and put it in a A variant without the UPC.
>>583796954>>583797703Meanwhile pic rel is the backseat pov on the 346
>>583798096>>583799610You what mate, I'm confused.
>>583799706The MB339 has a later variant with HUD, MFDs, aerial refueling etc (CD variant, the one for DCS is the A and PAN var.). Second pic is the M-346. Both have HUDs in both the front and rear seat unlike most other trainers. In that Aerofly sim it's like they took just the HUD without the Up Front Control unit and slapped it onto the cockpit of an A variant.
>>583800096I see, I don't know much about the 339 and didn't know it had a later variant like that, it actually looks comfy for glass, almost like they're CRTs.
>>583800545>almost like they're CRTsThere was a plane that had a shitload of small CRTs inside. Maybe the Starship
>>583800897The Starship has loads of them. They're the last remains of sovl before LCDs and the like took over

>>583925569Yeah I'm getting weird graphical issues even when playing with Proton (on Linux). I think the game is playable but a lot of graphical things seem to be missing like menus etc. Downloading the game took so damn long that I'm far beyond the 2 hour Steam refund window. I probably should have bought FSX instead. Or gone for 2024 anyway even if it costs a lot for me right now
>>583928679>Downloading the game took so damn long that I'm far beyond the 2 hour Steam refund window.If you contact them and tell them your situation they'll usually refund it anyway since it was just download time.

>>583928679>Downloading the game took so damn long that I'm far beyond the 2 hour Steam refund windowthe 2 hour window is for playtime, not since purchaseeither way steam is very lenient with refunds especially if the game is actually fucked

>>584035316Those are rookie numbers, you've got to pump them up. I have 9974 for MSFS2020, 7807 for XP12, and 959 for DCS.
>>584036909I kneel. I actually just found 2000 more kek, I've only got about 3000 for 2020.
so, is heart of russia ever going to be a thing or will SCS software keep on being butthurt about the war in cuckraine?
>>584037131I doubt it'll ever come out honestly, even when the war ends they'll probably still wait. It's a shame, I remember playing a big Russia map mod for ETS2 back in the day and it was great.
>>584037250yeah, i was planning on getting back to the game once i can get the nordic horizons and (hopefully) put my starting garage into my home city. western russia would have been the perfect compliment for the nordics and baltics.it does suck that they're letting modern politics affect video games like this.
>>584037562Companies are terrified of bad PR these days and it'd generate a lot of seethe. People who don't even play the game would probably review bomb it and other nonsense.
Some of my old screenshots give me PTSD, like the time I did an IFR flight over an hour long at night with high wind, rain and couldn't see anything in the 500D and hand flew the whole thing. I nearly crashed before the approach as I got disorientated, it was a horrible flight.
>>583928679 here. I have moved over to X-Plane. Currently downloading X-Plane 12.
>>584050253Did you refund 2020?
>>584053943I was able to, yes
>>584054267Get autoortho for x plane otherwise it looks like FSX
You are getting tired.You should find a place to rest.
>>584054343Yeah I'll figure that out once I've figured out how to fly a plane first LOL

>>584069740I'm serious
>>584069740It's out, check your inbox.
>>584057807*dies*
>>584083552Nice
>>584054343>>584058016With authoortho set the caching to a different drive than C: that you care less about or you'll have some serious wear and tear. It dropped my sdd health from 100% to 98% in a single year since it's a constant write/read thing. And the cache size limit is not respected, I had set it to 60GB and I found out it was 140, it crashed my recycle bin and I had to do some repairs via commands to actually delete that cache as even if the bin was empty the size still appeared in WinDirStat.
>>584106063damn wrong image
>>584106063>It dropped my sdd health from 100% to 98% in a single year since it's a constant write/read thingCrikey, that makes me wonder if MSFS 2024 does the same as it's streaming a lot.
>>584115954Just checked mine, 97% and it's two and a half years old. It's fucking over.
>>584115954>>584116106RIP

>>584131361It's a nice looking plane
Giving the Spartan another try without the crazy weather
>>583905779found out the IndiaFoxtEcho F-35 has a livery for the Green Mountain Boys. i soifaced when i saw it
>>584135167
>>584134849The flight model isn't quite as terrible as I thought but it's still weird, the plane feels very light and will bank hard in turbulence, I don't know if that's realistic. The sound is awful. Honestly the plane is really nice and the inibuilds one is currently on sale, it's making me consider getting it.
How is that an airfield? Where is the runway?
>>584137924oh kek it's a helipad and this is it, I got confused. I'm almost tempted to try landing here.
>>584138145It didn't end well. I was scared to use the brakes and tip over but I probably wouldn't have stopped in time anyway.
>>584125356More information>>584125750Just seen the devs say on discord that the U-2 is due to come out in 2027.
Also seen on discord, which seems to be the main way devs communicate these days unfortunately, Cowansim is working on 2024 overhauls for helis starting with the R22 which apparently will have ground handling wheels and you can pick the helicopter up and move it around which is fun. R66 next followed by the 500E. I think you'll have to pay for the upgrade if you have the 2020 version, hopefully not too much.
>>584139625thumb up for trying, you have the right attitude
Where is the best place to get XP12 scenery from for free nowadays? Rutracker seems pretty dead
>>584142365https://aerohub.st/
>>584139625That wasn't bad but probably too fast. I would have tried a 3-point landing to stall on spot.
>>584150506Yeah it was too fast, I struggled to even find the right spot as it was hard to see. I'll have to practice landing in stupid places more.

>>584206993Desert is always beautiful.
is it possible to teach oneself to drive manual transmission using a wheel, shifter and a game like beamng? or will that simply teach bad habits?
>>584211384Not always
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53m25x0mB9QShip autists are using MSFS 2024 as a platform for study level boats.
>>584223646It's interesting how if you don't know anything about planes cockpits look terrifying but once you know, the more dials the better.
>>584195828>FF?
>>584215181The only way to learn how to use clutch is to drive a real car
>>584223778>yfw LCD PCD horroryou never know what you got til it's gone
>>584226017The F-35 cockpit is unbelievably gay
>>584215181driving stick is so braindead, yes you can learn it from a video game (assuming you use pedals) idk why that anon said you can't lol
>>584215181No, you need to physically feel the biting point. We told you last time, just get some driving lessons.
>>584226228>stickAmerican detected, what would you know about driving manual?
>>584226357that only a european would struggle with it
>>584226401Nobody is claiming to struggle with it, we're recommending you learn to use the clutch in an actual car.
>>584226252no you don't lmao what the fuck is with you retards who clearly never leave your bedroom? i was driving stick when i was 7 years old, you literally just listen to the engine or look at the dashboard what the fuck haha>>584226480why? you can learn the basics in a video game just fine. if that guy lives by himself and doesn't have anyone to teach him, it's a lot safer to learn the basic functions first in a video game anyways
>>584226562He won't know what the fuck to do in a hill start or moving in slow traffic if all he has done has learnt that 'clutch goes in clutch goes out' with no consideration for the biting point and what it feels like. You don't actually drive a manual do you?
>>584226562>i was driving stick when i was 7 years oldyou were playing video games thinking that pressing a button on your controller to shift gears is what driving a manual is about
>>584226871>>584227274what type of driving sim has simply 'clutch goes in clutch goes out'? if one was using a wheel+pedals+shifter surely any reasonable game accurately model the clutch within reason? I don't know exactly but I'm assuming in beamng you would stall the car if you don't start correctly on a hill.Anyway, I know it won't be 100% accurate to a real car, but seems to me that it would be worth a try to establish some muscle memory before driving for real
>>584216337I still like it.

Hang on a minute... that isn't a runw-ACK
>>584243774Everything's a runway.
>>584245404Is that the Double-ender? It's one of the few Gotfriends planes I don't own, is it good?
>>584229173You have to physically feel when the clutch starts to grip and balance it with the gas pedal. You can't learn this in a video game.
>>584246472It is good yes, and I can't really fault it on anything, but for some reason I never flew it very much. It has so many things going for it save that little edge that makes you come back to it.
>>584248567nice pic
>>584248567It's probably because there are a quite a few similar STOL planes, I'm not sure what the pusher engine adds to it.
>>584249050There are actually two engines : one puller at front that can beta and reverse, and one pusher that can feather.Compared to other bush planes this one has an awesome cockpit visibility and is massively overpowered, with an usable speed range of 40-120kts.
>>584249920>puller goes forward>pusher goes back>they cancel each other out>plane hoversWhy hasn't anyone done this?
What the fuck is this bullshit? I want to try DCS with the Flaming Cliffs bundle, they lure you with a $29 price and when you log in and put it in your cart it's $59. What kind of business practice is that?
>>584259797It does the same for me, weird
>>584260456I think it's because there was the Autumn sales that ended a few hours ago, but these idiots didn't update their site properly. That suck. I'll wait for the next sale then.
Is this vibecoded? Fighter pilots train on this? The launcher's intro video doesn't even work, people really are buying $100 planes to these devs?
>>584262550Very poor company please understand
>>584262717Lmao I'm 30 seconds into that launcher it's laughable

>>584223778its just normies. its not like they are made complicated to gatekeep, its literally designed to be as intuitive as possible to tell you what you need to know
Oh shit, OH SHIT, the Chinook content drought is over! Less than a week old, so it probably incorporates the latest CH-47 functionality updates: https://files.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3351653/ although I have not flown it yet.
>>584145482bless you. I was mulling over whether to buy a couple of planes and they weren't worth it in the end.
>>584321994
>>584308060This terrifies normies
>>584308060>its literally designed to be as intuitive as possibleNowadays yes, but most stuff in the steam gauge era was designed by engineers never flew anything and gave no fuck for MMI principles, CWR etc. Russian jets were the worst at this.
RIP to Giorgio Brazzelli, one of the lead engineers and later CEO of companies like AW, Piaggio, Aermacchi, etc died 2 days ago. He's also the reason the M-346 exists as he had a massive role in its development, both on a technical and managerial level and when it came to directly tardwrangle the russians.
>>584326008>CWR etc.Continuously Welded Rail?
>>582725846I'd like to see a racing sim with realistic gore. Like if you flip a 1960's F1 car your head should be a red smear down half a mile of track
>>584327351RIP>>584327782What on earth is that?
>>584326008Yeah, there's a Cessna T37 free module that's very nice all around, but holy cow that cockpit. Feels that someone sneezed and projected the various buttons and dials all around with no sense nor logic.
>>584327973NTA but that looks like the upgraded version of a flower pot full of thermite. Wish we had a good consumer track maintenance sim.
butter>>584327782>Continuously Welded Rail?Yes, Cognitive Workload Reduction>>584329297>Cessna T37And that's still good compared to russian standards, IIRC the Migger 23 was one of the worst at this.
>>584329395Do you have to maintain the railway in Derail Valley?
>>584329958What happened to its wings?
>>584326008pretending that crowded dashboards are super epic is just virtue signaling for plane autists. i'll take the F35 pcd any day

One of these planes in the M-346, the other is the Yak-130, can you tell which is which?
>>584352040THOSE ARE BOTH M-346s!
>>584352337Agreed. I can tell from the vertical fins, the landing gear doors shape, and having seen quite a few Yak-130 pictures in my time.
>>584352337Are you sure?
>>584352565yep, also the absence of the dorsal inlets, nose cone profile, GBTS and ILS antennas etc. >>584352614YES.
>>584352980>nose cone profileNow that you mention it the Yak has a really elegant nose.
>>584352040those are both M-346's

I'm a bit disappointed the Rafale did away with the trademark lines of Dassault's Mirage and went for that complex shape.But that's right that under some angles, if you add some horizontal stabilizers it could look like a larger M-346.
>>584356987
>>584358405It's probably for the same reason why all stealth aircrafts rook the same. There are only so many ways you can make something aerodynamic.
IL-2 Korea adding the greatest prop fighter of all time might bring me back
>>584362614The Sneed Fury? Nice
>>584362738Now we just need the Meteor
>>584362614ground attack is the best part of the sim, the air war is a loop of seal clubbing franks, fangs, and beasts or being seal clubbed by fagots
>>584366398IRL accurate, I'm afraid
>>584366546Putting all of the effort into the ground assets and damage models in Korea and then deliberately avoiding tanks or helicopter gameplay will go down as a boneheaded decision on par with ignoring the PTO in Great Battles
>>584371819paid time off?
>>584371819My hope is that Korea is just the trial run for the Pacific Theater. Is it confirmed there is no tanks coming? The theatre is REALLY good for it

>>584326008DCS "realism"
>>584372206Officially it's an "if the circumstances are right" situation, but practically there are less than 10 people in total on multiplayer during peak hours so looking pretty grim
>>584383180That's fucking brutal, actuallyWhat little I played with it was actually alright
>>582692030Explain the appeal of sims to me.
>>584393735Simulation is freedom. Your progression comes from understanding the simulated systems and building skill at interacting with them over time. Your time isn't wasted by RNG, intentional frustration mechanics, or mouthbreathing public lobby morons. You aren't railroaded into a story, you're given a world and a set of keys to explore it. Nothing you learn is learned in isolation, and every skill and piece of knowledge you earn is iterative and accumulates over time. Your grind is rewarded with functional improvement and an increased ability to interact with the world and its systems. Nobody can take your knowledge away from you. It feels more like learning a language than beating a level or winning a match.The hardware is also expensive so it keeps the poors away.
>>584393735these are some of the coolest machines humans have ever made, and I like to pretend that I drive them
>>584383180>but practically there are less than 10 people in total on multiplayer during peak hours so looking pretty grim

How to deal with wrist pain due to suboptimal stick placement?I can place my stick only on the desktop, and then of course have to lift my arm, bend my wrist and so on, and it feels like shit and after 15 minutes I start getting wrist pains. Doubly so because I still don't have rudder pedals.Are there any protips or should I already built a proper mount?
>>584423247For the Rafale in particular, but I think the whole API was fucked up in SU6. I'll try later today anyway.
>>584427685That might be down to Azurpoly
After 30s of being stuck in this clear limbo, the scenery appeared, but 200ft below the aircraft with plummeted head first onto the tarmac."Restart flight".
>>584426917IMHO you should either build or buy a mount that makes it sit lower. Long term it could fuck up your wrist.>>584430409wtf

>>584442130There were no ground nor sky, no below nir above, no props nowhere. It was glitchy but calm and serene, for a brief moment. Maybe it was simulated afterlife.
>>584444592Sounds nice
