>>475265284According to Wags they were for another game that got canceled so they're just throwing them in DCS to try and remake some of the dev cost.
Stop being dead
>>475278749Based B307 enjoyerI still can't believe they haven't fixed the typo on the altimeter yet.
Are the dust filters necessary on the Hind? Like, if i don't activate it, will it actually fuck up my engine if i'm on grass instead of a proper landing pad/air strip ?Can't find any actual answer to the question besides niggers guessing it and i can't access the game right now.
>>475287479I've died in the hip landing in sandy/dusty environments repeatedly w/o dust protection, eventually setting my engines on fire. Probably also modeled in the hind. Icing on the other hand never seems to cause any real issues.
>>475285775The audio also sounds like shit.

>>475292626that was cool, not a fan of every cool video having unnecessary music d3su. Specially when I want to hear the vehicle
Also I posted the same on /n/gag/:Is there a way to setup a server and organize RENO like races online? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZFK8sA7cEAim talking about Xplane or MSFS. Maybe with anons from here would be nice
>thread is backI thought we'd given up this time
>>475294474MSFS has some sort of Reno race thing built-in, right? I never paid much attention to it
>>475298705Don't forget: you're here forever.
>>475298705We're gonna make it bro, i got my collective and i'm waiting for my Tobii Eye tracker. I hope its decent enough. And before someone tells me "bro' just use trackIR/VR/whatever" i just want something i can use without strapping something to my head. Hopefully its alright. Otherwise i'll just send it back.
>>475265284I would pay $20 for a FC3 level Su-34 that has the combined avionics of the Su-25T and Su-27 and a few extra weapons.
>>475300440too bad, you're getting the same F-5 that's been neglected for 8 years, but now with no clicky cockpit.
>kola textures looks like shit because of DCS limitations>have to wait until ED ups the limitations for the map to look goodhow long?and what happened with the entire ED vs razbam epic rap battle thingamajig? everyone forgot about it already?
>>475308435Apparently Kola map is reaching size limits. Maps already take 60 gigs, my SSD can't take any more if they further up the texture sizes (and neither can my VRAM)>and what happened with the entire ED vs razbam epic rap battle thingamajig?pic is from earlier this week

>sim update 2025
>you can fly the wreckage brother in msfsamazing. where do i get an all black skin for it?
Fuck I thought the new flaming cliff aircraft would be modern jets that they are not allowed to simulate yet. And then I read the announcement.>F-5>F-86>MiG-15Literally NO ONE asked for this.
>>475265284>>475319368what the fuck is ED thinking?hopefully not a lot of resources goes into this because ED definitely needs to put their priorities elsewhere. >>475273208that makes more sense
Curious about one thing, does the DCS F-16C flight model need a buff or is it this weak in real life?>can't rate like the hornet or mirage>even the jf-17 outrates itit feels wrong is all I can say.
>>475319368Yeah, a FC3-level F-22 or F-35 would sell like hot cakes, maybe even to some normies that then get converted
>>475324230They are probably worried about completely destroying multiplayer balance.F-15 vs Su-27 is bad enough already.
>>475324337I find tomcats, vipers, the jeff and the chink flanker scarier than those two.
>>475319247probably outdatedhttps://flightsim.to/file/29174/cia-official-liveries
>>475324949>scarier than those two.Lots of things are scarier than the Su-27.The point I was trying to make was that F-15 vs Su-27 is already imbalanced and favoring the blue side because of AMRAAM. If you add F-22 or F-35 PvP servers will either have to ban those or red side will never have a chance.
>>475319247I screwed every single fucking fastener back on a Bandierante wing fuel tank inspection panel when I was 14 during high school work experience. I assume nothing bad happened
>>475325161oh sorry misread your post, I completely agree.so how does ED even fix it? the FF fulcrum sure as hell won't be able to, and we're getting the typhoon for blue soon.
>>475319368probably are the favorite aircraft from some suite guy and added them because of this
>>475332696Those full fidelity aircraft are super simple in cockpit function and probably the easiest to convert.
What do you suppose the chances are of the Phantom or Kiowa releasing on the same day as Kola?
>>475324337>>475325161Good points, although they could be counter balanced by FC3 J-20 and Su-57 and in the end it's still up to the server host. A simulation, like real life doesn't necessarily have to be balancedand for the sake of gameplay it cani just want the cool sims of the late 90s/early 2000s back
>>475324337>the way servers currently balance modern servers in DCS is to put the f-16 on redfor
I’m unreasonably tempted to buy the CS C-130 simply because I want a quad turbo prop but $40 for a plane I wish was an L-188 instead seems dumb. I wouldn’t even mind the default king air sounds on an airliner as much.
>>475265284Lightning when?
>>475300032>i got my collectiveAre you the lad who ordered the Virpil one the other week? How is it? There is a cheap webcam head tracker on steam I can't remember the name of which apparently is 'Okay but not as good as trackir'
>>475349378Don't buy Captain Sim anything, please. Wait for Milviz/Blackbird Simulations to finish theirs, or even longer for DCS to have one.Have a look at AzurPoly's C-160 if you want a turboprop military transport plane.
>>475349378Have you considered the banana plane?
Low altitude flying really tests my PC, sadly it'll be a few months until I upgrade my GPU from a 980ti.>>475365810How is the banana plane quality wise? I'm planning on getting it at some point.
>>475369670Also I love the Alouette but it's hard work, I'm tempted to get the Robinson R22 as a more laid back heli.
Thinking of flying to distract myself from the near suicidal level of pain from my toothachefuck you codeine why did you stop workingi think i'm actually going insane

need a new stickis the gladiator NXT evo space edition decent for combat flight simming?
>>475385752Yeah, one of the best price/performance.It has twist rudder so you don't need pedals, but a separate throttle would be nice.
kiowa warrior coming end of may / beginning of june. devs just said on the qna stream
>>475391734hyped but man is it going to feel surreal when it's actually out, I've been waiting for that thing for long as I can remember and they spent the last 4 years acting like release was close, it's like that gif of the truck never crashing into the post
>>4753929284U
>>475382563Alright that's totally different than what I'm looking for but also how did I miss this it looks awesome.I just want to move large amounts of cargo at 300ktas+ but also fuck jets. Turbo props are cool, L-188 Electra would be sick. If I had to go military something like an A400M or in my fucking dreams an An-70 would be nice, but the avionics are going to be all modern and boring.
>>475398403*teleports behind you*
>>475391734I've been looking forward to it for however many years now. But just like when it was first announced, I have no idea what to do with it... I already know how to fly a jet ranger, and I don't really do MP so buddy-lasing isn't really in the cards for me. Low level ground action is just as terrible as it was when this game was announced, maybe worse since the AI are forehead seeking missiles at anything under 10,000 feet.
>>475385752The NXT Premium was my first stick I got for DCS. It's probably the best bang for your buck stick on the market. I would still get a throttle (like the scalable stecs for example) and pedals but you can manage with them.
>>475399654if we're just fantasy posting
Just got my Tobii Eye tracker. Its not as sharp as VR or IR tracking, but having your head movements AND eye movements tracked is pretty cool. Downside being when i'm looking at something else than the screen, the camera goes to shit. But you can lock anything just with your gaze and its pretty impressive.Also the red eyes from the cameras look like the T-90 meme
>>475385752>need a new stickLet me guess, X52?
Oh fuck they're really doing this potato.
>>475385752kek, I have this ancient one and it still works fine. Im more worried about upgrading my pc setup d3su

>>475300032Works fine in DCS and Elite dangerous.In DCS with the eyetracker you will have to get used to not moving your focus while you are trying to click on a button/control in the cockpit ohter wise it's case of 'chase the control'. To a lesser extent you get the same thing with trackir, but it's easier to hold your head still than it is to keep looking at the same point
Favorite DCS main menu theme music?For me it's the Mi-8. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H28cmQxIZUU
Don't sink.
>>475363290I already got a bootleg trackIR. And its good but i wanted something that i could use without having to put something on my head.Also, its very fucking nice. Same as all the other Virpil gear i own. If i wanted to nit pick, i'd say the buttons feel a bit cheap on the Shark-a handle. But otherwise, its solid stuff.
>>475468137Yeah i gave it a quick try. Its a bit jarring at first but i think i'm gonna love it.
I tried this bitch and its actually pretty cool.

when are they going to fix the atc randomly cutting out
>>475535963you could be describing literally all flight sims, whichstht
>>475535963Azure voices bug is supposed to be fixed in SU15 (May 7th)In the meantime keep the voice setting on Offline
>>475536551happens with offline too, it's not the voicegen since azure voices keep working for the pilot/copilotso they may be "fixing" an issue that has nothing to do with voices cutting out, and then they'll literally never ever fix it because they already "fixed" it
>>475536827>happens with offline tooReally? I've never had it happen so long as it's on offline the entire session from the beginning (switching to offline after Azure ATC cuts out doesn't work though)

What kind of data download rate is needed for dcs? I moved countries for work and I'm now stuck with 8 Mbit/s until I get fibre later this year.Is it worth spending a week downloading dcs or should I not bother until I get faster speeds?
>>4756407958 Mbit/s = 1 MB/s150000 MB / 3600s = 41.67 hoursguess you could download it over a weekend?

does msfs not cover China or are there just fuck all runways there?
is there somewhere a pic of a real hsd or fcr page from the f16? all the games have it simulated better or worse but i cant find anything in the manuals or the web?
>>475779005lots of chink airports are broken yes, it's easiest to see in littlenavmap what's missing because it overlays the runways and taxiways on openstreetmap
>>475779674ICN is the best airport ive ever been to. but the customs line is so fucking long
>>475255216I wanted to dip my toes into sims. I wanted to ask what HOTAS controllers people use, and if they have any recommendations. I was going to get it used because most of them are much cheaper if you buy used.>What kind of sims do you want to play?Flight sims and Mech sims. I have a reasonably powerful computer. Not sure what Flight Sim to start with. Probably Microsoft Flight Sim. Regarding the latter, I'll also ask /&tg/ about what HOTAS setup they use (if any), but I figured there would be some overlap with this general.
>>475781000>hotasjust use a 3D pro like austin
>>475781000very cheap: what this guy said >>475784567cheap: Thrustmaster T16000 + TWCS setmedium: VKB Gladiator NXT Space Combat Edtition with a throttle like Thrustmaster TWCS or take a pick from VKB or Winwingsomewhat pricey: Winwing Orion 2 setexpensive: anything from Virpil
>>475785082Thanks for the info, Anon!
>>475785082>>475785874I'll throw in the VelocityOne Flight Stick as another cheap option. The throttle/flaps axes aren't super high precision but it's not a huge bother at that price point.
>>475785082Keep in mind that combat/space combat throttles (e.g. the TWCS) are designed for left-handed use (fighter jet/single-seater/tandem style).Some civilian planes are like that but the majority in MSFS at least are side-by-side seating with the throttle in the middle between the two seats, and the standard main/solo pilot position is the left seat, putting the throttle on your right.If you care about matching that, or simply want to be able to keep your left hand on the stick while operating the mouse with your right hand, you may want to investigate right-handed/ambidextrous throttles.
>>475787209I almost went with that but ended up going with the Airbus stick instead because it has a better reputation for not lifting up off the desk by accident as much (Velocity One has stiffer springs it seems).But if you're going to clamp/screw your stick down then that doesn't matter.
>>475798081I have both and you're right the V1 definitely has stiffer springs. I have a tendency to always be putting some sort of downforce on the stick whenever I have my hand on it so personally I haven't noticed, but I could absolutely see lifting being a problem with a lighter grip.
>>475779674How do I get littlenavmap to display the whole world map in english? I appreciate why its not by default but I can't read moon runes and I want to fly asia
>>475809650it uses online maps, so whatever language they are in is what gets shown, an online map is just a bunch of image filesI think with openstreetmap it only shows the moon runes at maximum zoom level
>>475781000If you're into the combat side of things, IL-2 1946 has a great wealth of content and is a good entry pointIt's only ww2 but there's plenty of modpacks that add stuff like jets (if a little janky to install)
Is there a specific reason for why DCS doesn't have maps like Vietnam, Fulda Gap, and Korea already? I'm assuming it's because Eagle Dynamics is retarded
