I was playing Bomber Crew which is obviously not a simulation but it did get me thinking that a simulation game based on a large world war 2 bomber could be interesting.
>>586067821I really like Bomber Crew, apparently the Space Crew game they made wasn't great though.
I never realized cfrag had such an absolute hateboner for the mission editor.
Congrats to The Sims horndog poster who managed to revive his dead general having even more traffic than us. An Im bot joking

Fissile Decision ... Update .. I need it ...
I forgot I have this thing desu

>>586114785how is it
Thinking about Taylorcraft BC-12D
>>586114785sovl
>>586123810It looks great and anything by GotFriends is 10/10
>>586134226Yeah. It looks gorgeous. Time to get it I guess.
>>586134527Post pics here when you do
>>586135910They have got free trial on the marketplace. For 1 day. I've picked it up and oh boy. That plane is pure joy. I will fly it today for some time and learn it's quirks. Then post some pics and videos.
>>586138819The new cabin physics stuff is impressive
>>586138819I love the way vintage yokes look.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hs7-lXlH82IMinecraft has better looking weather than any flight sim, genuinely what's stopping devs from upgrading their cloud models?
>>586147973I just want Asobo to let third parties inject cloud textures, none of the weather addons for MSFS do fucking anything currently. Back in the FSX days you could get RED and/or ActiveSky and it'd look fantastic.
>>586148290That look awful
>>586150201The clouds had more definition than what we have now.
>>586150330I can agree it's missing details but as far as dynamism, coverage or light effects are concerned I find 2024 pretty good.
>>586150827I don't think 2024 is terrible, I just think the clouds are too blobby.
>>586151014Ok, I see what you mean. Are you on ultra ? Your clouds look more cauliflowered than on my game.
>>586151669Yes, are you? At least I thought I was, I'll have to confirm.
I'm over here still loving FS98's minecraft-ass clouds. The thunderstorms are pretty rough though I will admit.
>>586151914I wish I had my old FSX screenshots folder, I barely have anything left, I've no idea what happened to it or if it's still out in the aether somewhere.
>>586151861I'm on high, I think it lowers the blobiness.
>>586147973Roblox stormchasing games have better weather modeling and more realistic convective systems than MSFS.
That's better
>>586153098Now you can land on them.
>>586153202I wish clouds were real
>>586153735Man, have you forgotten the very first rule of flying ? You never touch the clouds.
>>586153735>>586153098Can't beat the real deal
>>586155186Oh wow they really are like Minecraft clouds
should I buy the SU-27/33 for DCS or just download the Project Flanker mods?
>>586155278The infamous billboarded sprite thunderstorms.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2T1UK4pfYkPC-12 out for 2024
>>586155653>more advanced tech than flightsims have had in 30 yearsamazing
>>586155653wtf is that real?
>>586159208Yes lmao.
>>586155428Flaming Cliffs is worth it on sale. You get a lot of mission capability for $35.Purists bitch and moan about these modules but you'll bind everything to your HOTAS in a full-fidelity module anyway and realism is moot point in a sim with healthbar damage models. You'll have fun. The clickable cockpit mods are great for the keybinds you can't remember.I wouldn't buy any of the planes from the pack individually.You might even surprise yourself and enjoy one of them more than the Flanker.
>>586159662yeah but I already have 3 of them (F-15, Mig-29 and SU-25), they do me just fine, but even if they are on sale I dont know if its better downloading the mods or buying a 4th gen aircraft which has the same capability as my Mig-29 (R-77, dumb bombs and rockets), only the 33 looks a bit different because it has carrier ops
>>586160318If you buy the SuperCarrier DLC you get the Su-33 for free and the new Kuznetsov model.
>>586155186>>586155653Look at Mr. Big Shot over here with his fancy graphics! Let me guess, you own a video card? Why don't you show us your checking balance while you're at it, so you can really drive the knife home?

Mental how the Japs don't even get a look in when it comes to aviation since WW2.
Well, that was a good purchase.
>>586180420It's on the list for me
>>586172781Buy one and sit in it
>>586178896they were fully demilitarised which destroyed their aviation industry. they weren't rich enough for a private aviation market to exist either. Germany didn't have this problem because before the war they had a large market for private/commercial aviation so the manufacturers had something to pivot back to. reminder not even the British aviation industry really survived into the 21st century. it's just BAE these days, being mostly subsidised by the US MIC.
>>586184693>not even the British aviation industry really survivedThe American aviation industry didn't, either
>>586171440Is that Hideo Kojima?
>>586185040we still produce thousands of aircraft every year, they're all just under a small number of corporate parents.
>>586183128I'd break it.

>>586189814I've managed to get FTTH last year. From 50 mbps to 1 gpbs. Suddenly being able to download things at 100 MB/s was almost a shock.

With esims it's nice because you can buy and activate one online in a few minutes.
>>586178896what does "get a look in" mean in this context?
good news nuclear option isn't dead, I was on the wrong patch. Me and two other blokes had a comfy PvP match, before i realized
>>586206147Wait until the next patch with the huge map + transport + drone. Shit will explode in popularity even more. Basically each patch brings more people in.
>>586191580thanks Biden
>>586208757>Still no VR patch I am filtered.
>>586210635Honestly this game in VR will be insane. I know there's mods around but i'll wait for a proper implementation.

>>586261415I don't get it
>>586262368it's a popular drink
>>586257205>>586261586Cute!
Hind is actually a lot closer to the Mi-8 than I assumed. If I want to fly solo might the Ka-50 be worthwhile? Does the age of the module make it worse?
Hey buddy if you're gonna post your sims here, at least try to bump the thread when it reaches page 10. Thank you darling.
>>586261851>>586270852It gets off on transgressing the rules and shitting up other boards with its degeneracy if its main threads aren't giving it enough attention.
>>586271849I know its not the first time. Its gonna do that for a week and then go away.
>>586270834Oh, I didn't realise that they'd released a separate upgrade to it in 2022, that's good.I'm trialling both now so I'll see how I get on with them. The Hind IS a classic but I'm a bit disappointed it's lacking the nose gun, and the KA-50 does have a bit of the Airwolf about it.
>>586261851>What kind of mental illness makes you want to post off topic stuff here?Gender dysphoria. Every single general in /vg/ is gender dysphoria, except for /simg/.Pic related is all dudes, btw.
>>586261705>>586261851>>586270852>>586271849>>586272492Your seething offtopic metafagging is infinitely more annoying than a few sims images.
>>586270834KA-50 had an update recently (Blackshark 3). So technically it's a younger module than Hind now. It is worthwile to learn it.
>>586270834>>586272424Yeah, think of the Hind module like the Apache module, but shitty; you will be relying on the AI copilot to spot targets in either case. The Ka-50 is designed for a single pilot with a high workload, and you will be relying on the IRL autopilot functionalities to give you some breathing space to find your own targets (you will fail to spot them and die, a lot). The closest bluefor module to the Black Shark is actually the Kiowa, since you have to spot your own targets, and will be relying on the module AI to take over piloting while you have your face in the TV, and dying a lot to targets you failed to spot.
>>586272961t. sims posterit gets the thread bumped i don't care
>>586272961Don't lump me in with that fag, I'm just urging anons to stay vigilant of the HRT Menace.

Did you know it ? I like airplanes. All airplanes. Even British ones.
>>586275050I like all airplanes except British ones, but luckily that means I'm not missing anything good.
>>586275328U wot mate ?
>>586275843Was this designed entirely on beer soaked napkins or something?
Imagine if wired torpedoes existed in World War 2.
>>586273029>>586273228Alrighty, so the shark is more of a scout than an attack copter I'm understanding?I guess I wasn't expecting flying and shooting in the Hind to be quite so similar to the Hip I guess, though I guess the gunner role is more complex and so far I've only done a bit of a fly around, not done the serious training.
>>586277864Well, Hind was directly developed from the Mi-8, so there's that. It's more of a run and gun platform (also troop transport). It's really not designed to hover and destroy targets like Apache or KA-50. I fly most of my time in Hind and I like tactics where you just fly low, full speed, then pop up, spray the enemy with rockets and run away. Somebody here said that Hind is more like a fixed wing, and they were right. Gunners role is pretty basic here - to guide the radio guide rockets and visually spot the targets. Still, if yuo already have MI-8 and want something new, I would go for another heli.
>>586278929Also, KA-50 is a beast. Definietly not a scout, but full blown attack copter. Can run and gun, can hover and destroy enemy (vikhrs) and even can do some A/A combat with Iglas. Absolute beast. Definietly not a scout.
>>586276403More like designed entirely by beer-soaked britbongs.
>>586270834Ka-50 is goated, most capable rotorcraft in the simhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRn9dMBx3vI
A thing of beauty is a joy forever.
>>586279207Agreed. Nothing can dispense guided munitions quite as fast as the Ka-50 can, although I think the Apache edges it out with the wider azimuth and elevation ranges of both the targeting cams and the cannon. Plus the thermal sight IHADSS is basically cheating.
>>586280435This thing looks like it has an active Grindr profile (bottom).
>>586280535Yeah, I think Apache is at the top of the food chain in DCS now. Especially with radar guided missiles when you can just select the targets while hovering, fire the hellfires and then just go home for more. Precision of handling is also great. I often like to just takie the apache and do laps on the taxiways, trying to fly faster while staying within the taxi line boundaries. Absolute joy. I wish helis were this good in MSFS.
>>586283148nice
>>586282967You can really feel the flexing, turbulence, and vortexes in DCS helis. FS24 definitely improved over 2020, but they still kinda feel like plastic toys compared to DCS.
>>586261415
Have you ever played a game called UBOAT?It is a World War 2 submarine game but it also has a crew management side to it.
>>586288164Yes I have, it's good but slightly buggy
>>586287797Why are we selling A400Ms to Italy?
>>586289993they're NATO? is there a reason you wouldn't?
>>586293197Just wondering why we're doing it, but I suppose as Airbus is multinational a few countries can represent the company.
>>586298547>mphholy sovl
>>586295759Could be a quid pro quo. You buy the 346 and they buy the a400.

phew. I switched from windows 10 to Endeavor OS (Arch linux for lazy people). And everything 2d gaming is running perfectly with proton (KSP, RTSs, flatscreen DCS, XP12 etc), but damn setting up VR is really damn exausting. I really took VirtualDesktop for granted. I expected some fighting at least so I'm not giving up
