First post for remembering safety procedures and not raising the landing gear on the ground.
Remember to not grip your stick too hard
>>584552849First thing I do during startup is to switch off the weapon safety. No, I don't care if my aircraft is pointing at you, grow up.
>>584562726Funky livery
>>584563248
>>584564281topkek I've never seen that. Looking it up apparently the warhead would have been fine >The warhead features a safe/arm device requiring five seconds at 20 g (~200 m/s2) acceleration before the fuze is armed, giving a minimum range of approximately 2.5 kilometers
saudi typhoon hit with some shrapnel from an IR missile proxi blast. looks like it perforated the wet wing. i'm assuming the eurofighter's DASS was working as intended and caught the missile before the kill envelope or else the jet would've been ded dedpresumably throttles down, flares, hard to tell if he dropped his load or not but i think he did, banks, runs through a cloud and heads back to arabia. no kill but it's cool to see the pilot maneuver. i think the typhoon has auto-flares. missile looks like it exploded right in front of him, imagine seeing and feeling that shit go off out of the cockpit window kek must've been a pant shitting experience
>>584565762>tfw you'll never dodge heatseekers going mach 1.5 over a desert in a futuristic giga-advanced 9 figure supersonic jetWhat's the fucking point of living
>>584565762He probably dropped his load in his trousers
>>584567037Have you seen this? I wouldn't want to be in that situationhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUjX1RntqVw
>>584567230Yeah I'm sure it sucks ass but I would sign up for it if I could. I'm too old now, they won't let me fly a plane for the military
>>584567476You would sign up for sucking ass?
>>584568187
>>584564281Was this operator error, or were the machine gods in a funny mood that day?

>start designing a new plane in flyout>>it's just an F16 with a gimmickevery time. i figure just stick another engine in it, add 3d vectoring to em, throw on some stabilators for the fuck of it>gets blasted by an aim120 from 100km awayguess we'll have to make it stealthy too, well shit now it's just an F-22. flyout really makes you feel like a Lockheed blueprinter kek

Gonna give 'em whatfor.
>>584587772>LET ME IIIINNN
>>584588084Why did they place the bombs on the wingtips? Surely closer to the other bomb would be better for flight
>>584575761You waited too long, now you're never going to get your HOTAS unless you pay twice as much and wait twice as long for the Lithuania one. Now empty your bank account, and pray the US doesn't provoke Putin in the meantime.
>>584588728the pylons on either wingtip of an f80 could carry bombs or tip tanks. it's not really like a "we should put the bombs here" thing, it was more like a "we could theoretically put bombs here"the manual notes that if you do stick bombs there, it's going to roll like a brick until you drop them. you're mostly supposed to fly it like a bomber until you drop the bombs
Flying DME arcs is hard.Also notice the terrible ILS approach.
>>584590853I've never actually done one, is it quite a shallow bank to keep the distance steady?
>>584576571I didn't press it as I was trying to unfuck my flight plan.
>>584588728>>584589719Not the same attempt, but finally finished the mission. We were bombing an airfield and there was a loud bang at a point and when I looked I lost a piece of plating which was kinda cool.
>>584591467Were you too low when you dropped the bombs?
>>584591557I was very low when I dropped those first bombs, yes.
>>584591994Many such cases
I should fly this baby more.
>>584590853>>584591129Turn 10 (degrees), Twist 10 (degrees)
>>584593046One of my favourite airliners
>>584593218yeah I was watching some old footage of Kai Tak and it reminded me of how cool this thing looks, so I decided to wheel the old girl out from back of the hangar (I had actaully never flown it on the new PC build).God it's so nice to have actual frames.
I wasn't concentrating and nearly hit an invisible wall at 45mph
>>584594983Please tell me the renderer put the markers there and you actually play with them turned off.
>>584595241You can turn them off?
>>584595241>>584595559Had a look through the settings, you can, I didn't know that.
>>584549440virpil r1-falcon vs slaw dora v3??
>>584602524I think you'll be happy with either one. Slaw was the OG combat pedals.
>>584602524I'd just go with whatever uses the same software as the rest of your setup.
Bump
>>584591129Yup, usually flown in segments.>>584593194Care to elaborate ?
>>584637043>Care to elaborate ?https://youtu.be/NtVwTOm-OGk?t=240
>>584591467kek do you keep the JATOs full as an emergency boost or did you just forget to jettison them? I gotta try that.
There's an Alpha Jet for MSFS and I didn't even know, it's had a native 2024 update.
>>584589278I had the wrong region selected, it's stocked, we are all gonna make it
>>584658069Based
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7p18wZJaKw&t=6sThis could be fun
>>584638789Thanks, didn't know about this method. I remember reading about DME arc in some DCS document about TACAN so it was doing without ILS instrumentation. The video made me realized I wasn't paying enough attention to the angle with the station. Will try again.
Oh shit the Bluebird 757 is out next week. 2024 compatible with a native build following later.
>>584669745The brown cockpit era was so cozy (recently learned the ATR had one too).
>>584671163It's to hide the skid marks
oh husbant...you spend all our money on Boeing 757 panels...now we are homeress...
>>584638789Ok, I'm getting it.
>>584675770sweet
>>584675770Good job
>>584676397>>584676718Thanks. Found out that if you have some instrument pointing to the direction of the station then you can synchronize the turning speed of your compass so the station always stays at a 90° angle. If you hit the right bank angle then you'll be flying a nice round circle.
>>584679002Is this hand flown or with autopilot?
>>584679104Hand flown (in the very stable Jaguar).

Err lads, are planes supposed to hover?
>>584690271That happens when you mount the propeller backwards
>>584690271An-2 Colt can hover in a good headwind
>>584688841guarantee there was drama to get this project accelerated post-razbam.
>>584692151The AN-2 can probably hover with the engine off
I wish I tried the Mirage 2000 before deciding to never play DCS again
>>584688918Your plane is trying to escape the simulation.
>>584675129I would have imagined 3d printing and cheap solder were the end of sim panels
>>584693952If the headwind is over 43kt you just pull back on the stick
>>584693501I'm just glad they're releasing more 'modern' attackers.
>>584643914Is THAT was those are?? That would've been super handy during take-off, it was almost impossible.
>>584703048They're actually to give you a boost when ramming
This looks awkward
what do you guys think about war thunder
>>584707237The grind ruined it for me, but apart from that I had a bit of fun with it. Fuck knows how long you have to spend grinding these days to reach jets.
>>584707606With premium, it takes weeks/months of intense play to get to top tier and be able to afford the jets. Even longer if you suck.>>584707237War Thunder is the most amazing air combat game I've ever played, but it's the definition of wasted potential and greed. In a different time or a different universe it would be worth your time, but not in this one.
>>584709619Why is it amazing?
>>584703404I usually just leave my shoes on if I need that.
>>584710731The controls are buttery smooth. The sound design is cash. The plane choices are endless. The community is tight as a near-18 year old. The mere suffering of it all, the packet losses, the third party missles, the braindead blues. It makes you wanna end it all, but if you know your aircraft and your enemy and you encounter one bird out there who knows the same, if you come out on top in that dance in a moment of pure victory... There's nothing like it on the market.It sucks, and it is fantastic.
>>584702721I'll take whatever red air we can get, but still wonder if the Su-17 died on the vine or has now just fully transferred to Mag3.OctopusG did great work on the I-16 and La-7, looking forward to their first real fast mover.

>look to see how much>VKB Gladiator>VKB STECS>mounts for them>Winctrl onion + dampener would cost>about a grandFuck, is it worth it lads? That's a lot for bing bing wahoos.
Shit looked fun bump
>>584789186Yeah that's a lot, but everything's so expensive lately. Only you can know whether the investment will be worthy or not (you don't have to buy all at once anyway).
>>584795871True, I don't. For some reason rudder pedals in particular are all £300+ and dampeners add another 50-60, but it sounds pointless getting pedals without one.
You cannot suffer in burgerland
>>584789186>is it worth it lads?nojust get skilled instead
>>584799987Twist rudder is so fucking gay though
>>584787191i just play other games sometimes
pucker factor
>>584812648Wow what's the max flap angle?
>>58481358720° for TO and 40° for LND IIRC.
>>584814962Yeah I thought that looked like 40 degrees, seems a lot for a plane like that.
I was looking at the cities they're going to release for ATS with the British Colombia DLC, it sounds like it's going to be big, but not go all the way up north which is a shame. Still, doing Southern Texas to northern British Colombia will be a long journey.
>>584816182They help with slowing down, which is really needed in the 346.

SWS PC-12 MSFS 2024 native update out on the 30th new flight model/aerodynamics amongst other things.
Revisiting trying to get ChatGPT to make an MSFS livery since it's been updated to 6.0. I'm using the 'thinking' mode and it's taking forever, I've probably killed thousands of trees doing this.
>>584896125The result

>>584810416other games are boring againi've shelved the stealth fishbed for now since i pretty much got it perfect on the first try. it goes mach 1.8 at sea level and mach 3 at 11km, has a radar cross section smaller than an F-35, has two internal 25mm cannons because a fishbed should shoot bullets, and is capable of BVR combat at over 90km and i designed that 90km missile platform for it as well. for being my first plane in Flyout it went pretty well, but jets are easier than propsso naturally my second plane will be a GIGA C-130. 34 meters like the stretched variant... but i want it to be VTOL capable to complement the C-130's current abilities. that will be fun and let me fug around with props and variable surfaces
>>584889008Thats high

>>585057391kek that's very true, I didn't sim much over the summer as it was so fucking hot. The thermostat in my office says the max temp recorded was 31.8C and that was when I said 'Sod it I'm simming' on a scorching day.
