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?
>>584567037>>584567476You'd be doing it for israel anyways, ewww...
>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.

>>585241320Oh wow what the fuck, 27 players?
>but the tech is good
>>585242946it has better destruction mechanics than anything else out there, but the AI and AI-gen assets in SP are terrible and multiplayer is a ghost town. it's also a dead end historically if you don't really enjoy sealclubbing or riding the prop struggle bus. it also has great visuals. very frustrating experience, you can see the potential is there.
>>585241980keep in mind that they sell the game in their own shop cheaper but yeah, id like to see screenshot of the server browser>>585246683all they had to do is say that they love ukraine and donate 100 dij fpv drones

>>585270315i can't even manage to fix it. Thranda devs are utterly retarded and their mantra with any issue is "we wanted it to be this way!" in pure xp12 fashion. "it's a feature not a bug!" when you click to move a panel and instead it rotates 90° because fuck you.

>>585258670aircraft carriers will save il2 Korea, just two more weeks.....
>>585274957in the cockpit tablet there was the edit panel section, I thought it would be like the usual stuff of swapping a garmin for a non gps module, but as soon as I touched one of those it slipped behind the panel itself, I tried reloading the 0 preset which I thought would be the base version, but due to them not even properly coding the "hit zones" for buttons it instead overwrote it leaving me with that. >>585276239They have the galls to ask 50$ for something in such a state, not to mention they brag about 8k texture yet it looks worse than the freeware modules for xp10. IMHO aside from a very few modules everything for sale for Xplane is basically a scam where the devs shit out stuff that works worse than a vibecoded project and will never admit to a fault. >>585276351armrest lmao, the first time I loaded the plane I thought it was fishing maggot texture>>585291126Behold, after a skunkcraft repair.

I should go to Boeing or Airbus with the idea and make millions.
>>585360903I like the M-24, it's great for sightseeing but it's bloody slow.
>>585361458Yeah, autogyros are a meme. I took it out after that one guy crashed into power lines in Italy (I think), and realized they aren't great. Is that the Florida Keys?
>>585361919Plenty of low and slow airplanes you can fly for sightseeing that have a fixed wing and glide great but I guess part of the appeal of an autogyro is being a meme.
>>585361919Yeah, it's fun to fly around but the satellite water imagery is a bit messed up in parts. I see an M-24 fly over near me every now and then, they sound different to helis, very easy to fly in the game though.
>>585362612You can't hover in them, but they have really low loiter speeds which is good for looking at stuff out the window.
>>585366005The jank is the fun part.
>>585366445This is what I mean, it's worse than this in some areas. A low resolution satellite imagery texture placed over the water making it look naff.
Don't fucking give me hope again

People on the MSFS forums are such drama queens, they're mostly console users complaining about bugs and there's tonnes of 'This is the worst game EVER I'm never playing it again!!!!' posts.
>>585378842Yeah, don't forget also the Random user : "I'm asking out of the blue for something to be changed in this module"Dev : "sorry, this is not planned."User : "This is SUCH as disrespect for the community, developers should cater to the users, I will never buy any of your modules and nobody else should".Though compared with AVSIM, the MSFS forum feels like a heaven of courtesy and friendliness.
>>585380038I stopped going to avsim years ago, it's full of miserable old cunts

>>585378842>console users
>>585378842why would you even read those forums?
>>585389267Patch notes and seeing what bugs people are moaning about, sometimes they're legitimate. SU7.1 is out but doesn't appear to include a fix for the ground effect bug for instance. Unlike the people on the forums though I'm not going to shit myself over it.
>>585378842Huh, I feel like I haven't run into all that many bugs personally. Just the odd goofy thing you expect from so much auto generated stuff like a city bus driving across a runway while I am on short final or some background plane that spawned on the ramp slowly spinning in circles upsidedown with a forklift attached to it. But like, the game crashing or the flight model going insane while I am flying, not so much. Maybe the console port is more iffy?
>>585391550>like a city bus driving across a runway while I am on short finalLol they did that in 2020 too.
>>585391550I seethed last year at all the CTDs I would get playing the game until I realised it was a stick of RAM dying kek

>>585495868Not enough engines.
>>585498481Mate this has a 12 (twelve) cylinder engine. For some reason it barely rolls, maybe I need more ailerons or bigger wings.

aaaagghhhhh
Went and saw turbomentors, sea kings, c-12s, and an eurocopter fennec today. No getting in the aircraft but petting was allowed and there was a fun with guns table
>>585531479Since you already have attitude hold on, I have no more advice to give you besides git gud.Maybe get a better throttle before the economic crisis hits.
Mig-23 and mig-27 in 2029, hype.
i said hype
Is this a good combo? some might remember i asked about this stick a few weeks ago, today I just found this throttle for $12 at the same local thrift storefor some reason it still has the protective plastic on the screen and everything seems to work, the only issue I notice is that the grip rubber is a bit peeled and sticky
>>585546228Not bad for a start. If everything works, you're set. The stick is lacking in inputs if you want to fly modern shit. But then again, some people manage to play on a fucking controller so heh.
>>585546228The stick has Hall sensors on the X and Y, only the Z axis doesn't so it is guaranteed to die eventually. If you can find some cheap pedals to go with that, then that setup will last you for years. You might have to add a modifier button or two for modern jets, but it's not a big deal.
>>585546751>>585550401seems like everything works wellany idea what should I do with the sticky rubber grip? tried rubbing alcohol and wet wipes but it didn't get much better
>>585556778>any idea what should I do with the sticky rubber grip?Sounds like the rubber is decomposing. I'd either peel it off and stick some tape or silicone sealant in it's place, or just tape right over it. Maybe try hitting it with some acetone on a rag first to see if that removes the sticks part, just be careful because the acetone can haze the plastic.
>>585546228The stick is fine as a starter one, it's what I use. That throttle will be better than the T16000M one which is pretty naff.

>>585629426If you want to fly around then MSFS2024.If you want to fight and you're a huge nerd with lot of time and money then DCS, else some version of Il-2 if you prefer it realistic, or Nuclear Option if you don't and only want the fun part.DCS has a couple free airplanes and map and also a generous try before buy system so you can start there and see if that's your thing before shelling hard dough on sim.
>>585629426>Which games are recommended to get started?
>>585639603Click the green button and you're good to go
>>585629426I'm speaking mainly from a milsim point of reference, I never really bothered with the civ stuff. I'm also assuming you don't have much in the way of gear.Despite being old, IL-2 1946 is still a really great game and perfect to start with if you're just getting into sims. It isn't DCS levels of fidelity in terms of flight models and systems/engine management, but still feels pretty 'hands on' depending what difficulty settings you run. It *can* be played via keyboard but I would recommend a joystick. It's simple enough at least that you don't need a sim rig full of buttons, I played it for years on a cheap thrustmaster Hotas X.I'd say the main draw of 1946 is the amount of content and the singleplayer experience, especially once you get into the modding scene for it. A lot more theaters of WW2 are included compared to IL-2 Great Battles; western/eastern front, Mediterranean, Pacific, etc. gives you a wide range of terrain and aircraft to play with, if not necessarily super in depth

>>585704004I don't understand why that lighting bug still hasn't been fixed.>model LOD range being shorter than 2020Is it actually shorter? I know they keep fiddling with it, I think console peasants are restricting it.
>>585370107the hard part is just learning how the game infrastructure works. they're developers, they presumably know how to write code. since they make functioning maps and have worked with the game for a long time i'm also assuming they're familiar with the engineif you're familiar with the engine it's simply a matter of learning how the plane works so you can accurately write it into the gameit's not like making modules for DCS is too difficult in complexity for developers, it's that it's usually more labor than it's worth. they're expensive to develop because they take time and they're niche so the return isn't guaranteed, devs don't want to take the risk or waste the time
>>585386801is going over mach 1 and having wings that move really that complicated to you? radar tech from 60 years ago? this is plane design 101 shit, you think the devs can't simply read a book or two?
>>585724896I used to fly in Norway a lot back in the FSX days, there are lots of fun airfields there.
I flew a real plane (old piper) last summer and I still cringe hard when recalling it. I was so disoriented, the instructor just told me to floor it when we took off and so I did and I think I kept it aligned with the runway but it was so freaking confusing monitoring everything while keeping the plane straight and climbing at a steady rate. Nothing like in my sim.
>>585727041And I mean he just threw me in the deepest part of the pond so I just had to learn to swim right away to avoid drowning. I don't know how flight schools do introduction but I got none, just straight into the fucking cockpit, few rounds on the ground and then takeoff.
>>585727041Why would you cringe about doing something new and feeling overwhelmed? I remember feeling like that back when I was learning to drive, let alone fly.
>>585727041>>585727383you probably acted overconfident and he decided to give you a slice of the humble pie
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfSWeZ-5VhY>World Update 23: Poland and the Baltics out for MSFSI thought that came out a while ago but apparently it was due to be out in September but was pushed back.
>>585727584It was a good experience after all and I am glad that I did it but it just felt very unsafe and chaotic and I went in unprepared assuming I'll maybe get to control the plane when we are cruising.>>585727691I tried to be humble.
>>585727824They talk about 'staying ahead of the plane' a lot in aviation, it's normal to be overwhelmed.
>>585727901I actually made a joke about that while we were a bit more stable and cruising. Idk, I had never fucking seen the cockpit layout of that plane so I had to be careful when interacting with any of the knobs/buttons to not do anything stupid.
>>585728026Did the instructor show you how to fit the pissbag? That's one of the most important things in flying.
idk anon this sounds like a normal discovery fight, you probably just got overwhelmedI don't like letting first time students take the controls at low altitude, as there's always a possibility that they panic and lock up on the controls, killing you both.
>>585729684Do you let them land on the first flight?
>>585727041>>585727824I promise you he was right on the rudders helping you out bro, gotta trust your instructor is not going to let you kill yourself. Presumably he also does not want to die right? In fact, he doesn't even want you to damage the airplane as that goes on HIS license not yours.>>585730082I did on mine, also in a cub. Those things practically land themselves apart from the usual tailwheel keep it straight when on the ground bit. Best glide is just trim full back power idle and let it float down. And then to do a nice three point just try to keep it in the air in the ground effect and when the airplane is done flying it just lands.Anyway, don't feel bad, my first 10 hours or so it felt like it took 100% brain power just to not die.
>>585730631>the usual tailwheel keep it straight when on the ground bitWhat is the trick to dealing with that? It feels like even small amounts of rudder lead to losing control. Is it just about making sure you're straight on approach so you don't have to use the rudder after touching down?
>>585730884Literally just getting the reps in, it's all feel. Sims don't help, they are great for navigation and systems training and stuff like that but they don't feel anything like a real airplane close to the ground. I remember overcorrecting a lot at first, and then I would undercorrect a lot and my instructor would wait until we were way the heck off centerline about to go off the runway before fixing me haha. I also switched to Citabria after the Cub went down for maintenance at my school which is a more touchy airplane but I still figured it out eventually. Soloed at 30 hours. The main thing I can recommend I guess is go practice at an airport with a ginormous runway so you can do touch-and-gos and get a buttload of reps in each flight. It's good to do some at small runways to not be afraid of them but taxiing back every time takes way too long. If you go when it is not busy ask your instructor to do fast taxiing too, that's where you punch it like you're going to take off until your tail comes up and then throttle back and fly just the tail with your main wheels still on the ground the entire length of the runway.
The Shittna 172 is coming on well, put still gets two hot even with four gigantic radiators, it needs more tweaking.
>>585727383>I don't know how flight schools do introduction but I got none, just straight into the fucking cockpitWhen I went on a sightseeing flight on a 152 and told the pilot I simmed he let me take off (went left a bit because I didn't use enough right rudder at first) but he had me check only the speed, he monitored everything else. You got a spartan teacher maybe.
>>585730884Oh and uh, you do use the rudder after touching down. In a tailwheel you are pretty much always flying the tail to some extent.
>>585732095Maybe I'm just using too much and overcorrecting
>>585732157Just keep at it. If you can afford it and are not doing it at the moment I highly recommend trying to fly three times a week. It will probably work out to be about twice a week due to weather and scheduling conflicts most of the time if you do this. It really helps in not having to re-learn a bunch of stuff over again if you can fly frequently. Once a week can get really rough because if weather cancels your flight well now it has been two weeks since you last flew. Feels impossible at first but eventually it just becomes second nature like riding a bike. I do not regret my decision to do private in tailwheels, a little steeper learning curve perhaps but everyone says it makes you a better pilot at the end of the day. Besides, once you are comfy with the plane you can do fun stuff that you can't do in a Cessna 150.
>>585732854Jokes on you, I only sim because I'm poor, even though I live 20 minutes away from a flying school.
>>585734619A lot of the zoomers at my school are funding it by working the ramp, dispatch, and maintenance. Big discount for employees, and an A&P can be a super lucrative career itself. I kinda wish I had done that when I was young and poor too.
>>585735163The issue is, say you get your PPL, now what? Renting a plane is fucking expensive. It just seems like a bit of a dead-end hobby to me unless you're very wealthy and can buy your own plane.
>>585735753Personally I intend to make it a career. I'm tired of computer.
>>585736435Good luck to you then, it's not an easy career. Grinding instructor hours sounds shit.

Don't know if this is the thread for Gran Turismo but I couldn't see anything better in the catalog, but I got a PS2 lately and have been having fun playing Gran Turismo 3. The internet said upgrading the Mazda RX7 would carry me through the game but like hell fucking no, it's got tons of horsepower but weighs far too much. So I bought a Lotus Elise and even with the large drop in horsepower the car being light as fuck has made me much more competitive in races.Fun!

This is neat
>>585842038My friend gave me a code for IL-2 Korea so I bought some cheap thrustmaster sticks and pedals from ebay to play it. It's pretty fun to learn about the setting and learn how to play. Do you anons recommend the ww1 il-2?
>>585842486>ww1 il-2I've seen people here playing it but I've also heard bad things about it
>>585842486Also, any tips on aiming? I keep running out of bullets. Trying to aim using a stick and pedals is pretty hard, the plane sometimes feel to sensitive when I use yaw left/right
>>585842737I'll try to get it on sale or something since I always see them go fairly cheap. I never got it since I never had equipment to play flight sims. I love the setting and will prob help learn since it's a slower pace
>>585842947You're not supposed to use the pedals to steer, only to counter slip when turning (that ball thing moving to the side) and to keep aligned with the runway for take off and landing.Trying to maintain a steady aim on a a flying machine is like formation flight, which is known for being challenging even for competent pilots. Learn to fly with the minimum of inputs, the more you'll try to correct the more you'll be all over the place.Bullets are in very limited supply inside a jet and you should only shoot short burst at very close range when you're sure you won't miss. Also remember to keep some ammo to defend yourself.Have fun.(Yeah, I know, there were no F-100 in Korea)

Wanna get DCS at one point but I don't have 3,500 for the full game lol. All for supporting a game like that, but I don't think that's even possible. I'm wondering how to approach that game, both as far as what to buy goes and I'm also curious how long it takes to learn how to play the game both in a general sense, and to learn how to fly individual planes, as well as the set up I should have, like if I need a flight stick and such. Also heard there are planes you can no longer get. Is that really true?
>>585844510Are you being serious? You don't need to buy every single DLC
>>585844747I know that well, I guess I'm wording that like a retard. Even buying a few planes costs over 200 dollars is the thing. I don't know what's required to get into it.
>>585844510This >>585844747It's a flight simulator not a gacha
>>585844989Oh right, yeah they are expensive, just do some research and get one you like on sale, but DCS comes with a free plane anyway.
>>585844130Yeah, it's been a great experience so far. I can understand why it's niche genre with prices and what not now. I just put a Korean war mig alley documentary and zone out practicing landing.
>>585844989Base game is free and comes with 2 planes and 2 maps. From there you can try at ease any module for 2 weeks, no question asked. You can have hundred of hours of virtual flight without paying a single buck, should be more than enough for you to know more.
I like the idea of a combat flight sim set in the early jet / super prop era, just well, not Korea. Some fictional conflict with a more balanced plane set than "shitbuckets + MiG-15" and "ground pounders + Sabre"
>>585847272I would support a fictional conflict with real planes
>>585844510>>585844747>>585845015You don't need to buy them all, but you will eventually if the sim bug really gets you.You can spend a few hundred to low thousands of hours just learning the basics of flight, see picrel. That's your baseline.Since you fight other people who are actually competent at flying airplanes, you'll also be spending hundreds of hours practicing the basic maneuvers and energy management techniques you need to survive getting shot at.You're looking at more brute-force practice to nail precision flight skills than in civ sims, especially if you get into carriers, refueling, or night ops.You'll also need to download a bunch of contextual information directly into your head about weapons, military systems, tactics, strategy, and the overall combat environment, assuming you have no prior background.You can grind all of this skill and knowledge out for free in the basic TF-51, Su-25T, and free A-4E mod, but most people are weak and fall for shiny new cockpits instead of putting the time in with what they have. You can buy every module, but you can't buy skill.
>>585847650>you'll also be spending hundreds of hours practicing the basic maneuvers and energy management techniques you need to survive getting shot at.I doubt the average DCS player does that
>>585844510Just start with free planes. You have SU-25 and full fidelity TF-51D Mustang. Also caucasus map which is awesome.

>>585844510I have sunk 1200$ into DCS and I wish I hadn't. it's trash
>>585904057Care to elaborate ? What grief did you have with it ?
>>585905453Not him but for the amount I personally spent on it I could have got a way more complete experience in XP12 or even MSFS24. DCS lacks a lot of things and its quite restrictive. The military stuff ended up being a liability in the long term.
>>585907730I agree with this, if you spent that much in X Plane or MSFS you could have tonnes of planes, tonnes of airports, city improvements, weather addons, career addons, ground services and who knows what else. In DCS you just have planes and a few maps. Not to say DCS is bad, but I'm not sure that's a good investment, it sounds like spending money for the sake of it, 'I must have [other plane]!'.
Mr Bean is selling Su35s to Ethiopia!
>>585905453NTA but for me it's not having enough free time to actually learn all of this shit, in combination with the sim itself being dated, barren, and broken in many fundamental ways and the company being run by brain damaged slavic criminals.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VJ7r-2ilWw
>>585907730I've been playing DCS for years, thinking that why would I need civ plane simulator. I have jets, can do patterns, can do everything. I now rarely touch dcs, and use it mostly for helis, because it is superior for them, but I mostly fly MSFS. I have corrected my approach to DCS and instead using it for some epic ground/air battles I've started using it mostly for training and designing some training missions, imitating those from real life. Most fun I've had was on some SAR server with helis, where there were auto generated missions for picking up civilians and transporting resources. Too bad that server died.
>>585907730>>585909840You don't believe the superior fidelity in aircraft systems is worth it in the end ?I'm genuinely curious because I've started learning the F1 in DCS, and while I enjoy flying it I'm realizing I'm more interested in navigation and perfecting landings than blowing up stuff.
>>585909840Whenever I feel an "I must have [other plane]!" I go download it for FSX where there is a basically infinite supply of free planes then get cured of it after shitting around for awhile.
>>585912438The fidelity is amazing, you could buy one plane and study it for the next 5 years if you wanted to, which is even more reason to not spend $1200 on getting all of the planes.
>>585905453I entered thinking it would be a military aviation sim and instead it's a lackluster sandbox where 90% of the stuff isn't really simulated nor working, they expect you to spend months in the mission editor to do anything, and even if you do it's enough for a trigger to not work properly and you have to restart the entire mission. DCS is turning into a pyramid scheme where ED can only keep making money by shitting out half assed modules and terrains and roping other developers in doing the same then abandoning them to make yet another module as actually finishing and improving "old" modules doesn't bring them any money. If you have a plane you're so obsessed about you'd be fine just flying it over and over without doing much of anything else, and you're lucky enough for someone to actually release a study level module (I've yet to actually see a true study level dcs module) then go ahead, but you should enter DCS knowing it's mostly a scam.
>>585914562Yeah, ED should focus on some core elements instead shitting out new planes, which are mostly in EA anyway. Dynamic campaign has been developed for so long that it has become a meme at that point. Besides, there are many things missing from core, like actually passable AI, ATC, weather . You really have to sit down in the mission editor and create something for yourself and mission editor is sometimes so annoying and janky. I think that they will never touch it, because it's hard to monetize it instantly, like selling those modules that are in eternal EA.
>>585915396Everything is EA now, the amount of games I have wish listed and then they all fucking 'release' in early access drives me mad.
>>585915490Yeah I don't understand it. Meanwhile in MSFS single developer like Black Square delivers plane that is a finished product and needs some minor touches in the update. >But anon, MIG-29 has so many systems to develop. We have to develop it for the next century to grant you the best possible experience.>Proceeds to slow down with development of siad module because they need to shit out another EA module with the same philosophy.>Neglects everything but the EA modules which are being neglected over time because they need to deploy another EA module.>Memory leak? We will fix it in the next 2-3 yearsMeanwhile whales are showering them with money and thanking them for existing.
>>585916215I don't understand how Black Square is a single developer, he must have giga-autism to pump out study-level planes on his own. I also don't understand DCS addon devs, everything is in early access and takes years to finish.

>>585912003if you want, some of the PVE servers include a CSAR script that spawns a soldier at the location another player ejects, it adds quite a bit of randomness to their extractions and the rescue can be quite hot depending on how far into enemy territory they bailed out
>>585933513CSAR is never worth many points and won't really help your team win the mission, so keep that in mind if you're sweaty or competitive.Delivering supplies will help to progress most PvE scenarios, but flying in a straight line at 120kts for 30 minutes at a time can get pretty dull
