We made it, bros

>>530247602 (OP)
I hope they'll add more recon/transport vehicles too in NO. Scouting and logistics are fun too. Apparently next vehicle (whatever abomination this is) is supposed to be recon.

>>530250121
The ability to capture points, sling load or carry an LCV, and a top tier optical system would make it worth it

>>530250121
We're getting a dev stream about it tomorrow at 2200 UTC

>>530259809
Hopefully there will be a timeline given for VR implementation.

>>530225654
>>530236513
Definitely try it out, it's actually only about 6gb. It's a sidegrade in that there are definitely improvements but it's still very buggy. If you're not happy with the base game then get on the SU3 beta and see how that goes, the performance is better on it.

>Mi-24 for MSFS announced

Not really sure why anyone would get it for MSFS and not DCS where you could actually use it, I suppose it is also a transport heli.

>>530276019

HELLO FOLKS.. been a while.Hope you're all well. Haven't had much time to sim and or chin wag with you jokers. Been doing a bit of landscaping and various other things. More time on my hands now. Might crack into good old 1946 again, a few RNZAF campaigns I want to try... Drinking ome cheap plonk so let's hope I can land the bloody things LOL. Keith

>>530276163
Bloody hell I remember that game, I also remember Take On Mars which started off being interesting and then took a really strange turn with base building and then it was abandoned.

>>530276752
Boomers on avsim do make me laugh, there are still old bastards on FS2004, and probably some weirdos on FlightGear that refuse to change.

This is actually very easy to remove on the R1-Falcon pedals, in case anyone is wondering. Takes about five seconds.

Oh you got them anon? How happy are you with them?

>>530297308
For anyone flying the Taurus M, you need a copilot in the seat, or use cargo to weigh it down, the centre of gravity is messed up with just a single pilot, even with max ballast.

>landed with the parking brake on

>>530286932
CSAR is the best way to learn rotary without feeling like a chore, get those takeoff and landing reps in

>>530300482
not my problem. tell the mechanic janny to deal with it

>>530301281
Unfortunately it was my problem as I was wondering 'Why am I losing speed at max throttle?'. The 2024 servers seem to be fucking up, I was getting terrain issues which I've haven't seen since the alpha (which was barely different from what they released)

>>530276752
Based Higgs.

Talking about Nuclear Option, i have a weird bug. Already reported it on the discord, i've seen nobody complaining about something similar, but who knows.
My throttle acts "jittery" when around the designated 0%. Like what you'd experience playing a game with very low refresh rate. Its not hardware, i tried multiple throttles. Also when i go into "calibrate" its smooth all the way, only the actual vehicle's throttle suffers from this. I tried older versions of the game, 0.28.9 doesn't suffer from this.
I tried cutting almost all other programs, nothing seem'd to make a difference. I don't wanna reinstall windows just to find out the bug is still there, so for now i just moved the 0% to the physical 50% of the throttle, its not nearly as annoying as not being able to properly put the engines at 0%, but still triggers my autism.
See the clip. Top 50% is smooth as butter. Bottom 50% jittery as fuck.

>>530300482
Imagine the smell

>>530302491
Can you just set a deadzone to get around it?

>>530302920
I'm not sure how a deadzone is supposed to play around that. The physical throttle is fine.

>>530303093
Sorry I didn't watch the webm, I'm not sure then

>>530303213
Yeah me neither, its a weird bug as, like i said, its not hardware and the game itself seems to properly recognize the input (perfectly smooth in the calibrate screen) and i cannot seem to find someone else with a similar problem. I'm very tempted to reinstall windows. But if the bug is still there i'm gonna be fucking mad.
I've complained that my throttle was borked in the last thread because it seriously looked like a fucky potentiometer. But i was wrong, its really the game.

>>530303543
Reinstalling windows is slightly excessive, maybe reinstall the drivers for your joystick. Otherwise it's just a software bug.

>>530295225
They are excellent; incredibly smooth and rigid. Coming from a pair of Saitek pedals with about 600 hours on them, the difference in feel is like going from the cranks on a worn out cruiser bike to the cranks on a high end mountain bike. Also the dampener feels great on both fixed wings and helis. Only issue is that the stock grippers on the base slide a bit on carpet, but I just glued some regular furniture grippers on the bottom and it solved it completely.

>>530303543
Have you tried validating your game files through the Steam launcher? That sometimes fixes weird problems like this.

What's even more autistic than simulating flight? Simulating plane spotting.

Always climb parallel to the slope, you can take it at your own pace and push cyclic downhill if you have loss of lift. There's additional nuances if wind or updrafts are modeled.

Is it considered scummy to counter missiles by fucking it up with your own missile? Asking for a friend...

>>530326285
Only losers care about being scummy or not.

Just came across the Algerian Air Force, it's huge, one of the largest in Africa and the Arab world apparently. Over 100 fights, mig29s, su24s, su30/35s. As well as 18 C130s and 42 mi28s. Oil money must be funding it.

It'd be kino sitting in the navigator's seat in a soviet plane for a flight, imagine the view.

Comfy evening IFR flight with the good old Cessna.

>>530333165

>>530333395
I was vectored to final. Hoped for an NDB approach but the X-Plane ATC in this 12.2 version likes to often vector you to final visual approach fix, no idea why...

>>530334036
Yup. I like it.

>>530328129
Oil for russian fighters was all the rage in the 20th century.

>>530328129
The story of those SMT's are funny. Algeria sent them back and cancelled the contract when they figured out the Russians ripped them off.

They figured out that they were built from leftover airframes from the early 90's, which wouldn't be a problem if the Russians didn't say they were brand new production and asking brand new production prices for them.

Got to drop the nuke if you want heat, comrade!

I know 3 wire is considered the best but 1 wire feel more like a "good landing"

Just got Gunner, HEAT, PC! and it's pretty good. I wish it had modeled interiors, though.

>>530346418
Aiming for the 1 wire means you have a higher probability of pancaking yourself on the 0 wire.

>>530304495
Happy to hear, anon. Always good when you're really chuffed with a big purchase. I have MFG Crosswinds and I love them but rarely unspring them for helos, if it were simple to sell them I'd be kind of interested in swapping them for a set of R1s

Aren't those transport aircraft quite useless? Tarantula is already slow so by the time you deploy something, a normal player in a jet would destroy several enemy planes or vehicles.
Even a jet transport plane would be a much better option. Quickly fly to designated zone, airdrop stuff and RTB.

you used to need to do it this way but now opentrack has a built-in algo, still think AItrack's works better

>>530444156
Thx I'll check it out. People use a ps3 camera for it usually right? Does the game need to support it or does it work for all games?

>>530438746
>>530443128
I just use the Neuralnet tracker included with open track and it works well. No need to fuck around with AI track bullshit.
And thats coming from someone who used all forms of tracking, from track IR, to VR, including tobii eye tracker.

>>530444363
people use a ps3 camera for two reasons, it has native 60fps and some models have an easy-to-remove IR filter for doing DIY trackir. three reasons if you count them being dirt cheap.
anything that supports its output formats will run it, you can do some very jank things using mouse input like turning GTA into a ghetto sim

suddenly remembered ysflight

I've heard some people claim that DCS is playable with a controller (at least the aircraft without the clickable cockpits)
Does anyone have experience with that? Would you recommend it to someone who's interested enough in the game to want to give it a try for a few weeks but not interested enough yet to shell out money for a HOTAS.
I guess buying the cheapest HOTAS possible second hand could be an option to, but that sounds like a waste of money since if I do end up sticking with flight sims I'd prefer to get a halfway decent one

>>530450202
I have no experience with it, but i've seen people doing it and how they do it. Basically
Yes, you can do it.
No, i wouldn't recommend it, and even a cheap hotas would probably be 100x better to have an actual feel of what flying is about.
Like, just buy one from amazon and send it back when you're done with it, i don't know.

>>530450202
>Would you recommend it to someone who's interested enough in the game to want to give it a try for a few weeks but not interested enough yet to shell out money for a HOTAS.
Here's the cursed tech people don't want you to know, you can play DCS with a keyboard. I used to do it precisely for this reason. I even did it with Spitfire which is extra twitchy, and there was a transition period to HOTAS where I legitimately was better with the keyboard because I spent time with it. But this is forbidden knowledge so now we both must pretend we never spoke about this.

>>530450202
There are user made Xbox controller profiles for almost every aircraft on the ED website, that way you can save a lot of time setting it up and it comes with a handy image that points out what button does what. Only issue is that there will probably be a modifier button or two on every profile depending on how complicated the aircraft is. Probably the key thing is getting the expo curve for the stick inputs since you are going to have such tiny throws compared to a real joystick.

>>530451201
Pretty sure i could play it with my dick too. The point is : You're generally playing a flight sim to experience the flight experience. A stick is the basic for that.

>>530451201
I thought this was a shameful way to fly back in 1992 when I first got into flight sims, but you're on a whole new level.

>>530451529
I mean if that was the case then anon could just buy some second hand HOTAS with half a dollar as he said. I interpreted the post as he just wanting to mess around a bit in sim and see if he likes it, and yeah, you can do that with whatever setup you want, keyboard, controller, dick, etc.

Good to get back in the cockpit. Rusty as old nails though. Trying out the DCG mod for 1946, never got round to checking it out. It's great seeing the skies chock-a-block with Huns, real Wow factor. Buggers keep shooting down my hurricane though. Usually just go for the Stukas until their tail gunner knocks my radiator out and I limp back home. Be nice to get to the Battle of Britain at some stage, I can pretend to be Michael Caine. Lol. Keith

>Blackbird’s A6M5 Zero is launching for MSFS 2024 this week
Marketplace version has weapons but they don't fire, if you get it off the Blackbird website they'll work though I'm not sure how well. AzurPoly's Jaguar's weaponry for example is actually usable in that you drop a bomb and it will explode upon impact, which is impressive for a game not made for that. I wonder if we'll get something like TacPack for MSFS in the future.

>MSFS 2020 was over 500gb for me
Is there any other genre of game that requires such a large investment in money and hardware? I know some strategy games can get pretty crazy with the DLC and pricing but the ones I've played weren't too demanding.

>>530538607
GTA 5 got absurdly big iirc, some strategy games as you say can be large, Total War for example.

Some of these user scenarios are getting out of hand. This is the second battlegroup. The fuck am I suppose to do about this?

>>530542290
Just you vs a battlegroup? Kite them and get them to shoot each other maybe.

Tusko spam it is

Kinda lame that the most optimal way to play the bomber is just
>max tuskos and 5-10% fuel
>lift off runway
>point in general direction of enemy
>fire ze missiles
>land asap to refill

Loading up 20 tonnes of bombs, climbing to 30000 ft, aligning with the enemy, and hoping an enemy fighter or stratolauncher doesnt spot you before you are over the target takes a dozen times longer for basically the same result

>>530538607
train sims maybe

>>530543576
I have 4 AI friends but they don't know what to most of the time. One of them did knock out 2 corvettes and finish off second carrier for me at least.

>I only play SERIOUS hardcore simulations like Microsoft® Flight Simulator

>>530431126
I don't understand what you said.

>>530544475
Nah TSW is only about 20gb

>>530546005
ah I was thinking of the pricing/DLC topic

>>530546240
Fair enough, train sim dlc can add up because say you want to buy a line or a scenario pack, it'll often need a load of rolling stock to use on it, so that's more to buy, but even then it doesn't compare to flightsim. Train Sim Classic has so much dlc it's not even listed properly, over 700 different ones, probably costing thousands. The Sims 4 amusingly has nearly a grand's worth of dlc too kek.

I actually think things have changed a lot with MSFS since the FSX days where you'd have to buy a load of addons not to make the game look terrible, now it's mostly just planes and airports (which are overpriced who the fuck spends £30 on an airport?)

>>530546575
>now it's mostly just planes and airports (which are overpriced who the fuck spends £30 on an airport?)
Airport value seems like it'd vary dramatically from person to person
Those people who fly the same airliner route back and forth every day probably think it's a good deal to make two specific airports look good
Meanwhile I'm always flying new places and buying scenery for every single place I go would be absurd
But I buy global or at least national-level enhancement stuff like Real Taxiways, FS Birds, Traffic In Sight, FS Trains, that sort of thing

>>530548295
I sort of know what he means in that certain planes fulfil similar roles, but it's fun flying them all anyway.

>>530547717
I'm always flying to new places too, and although I have some home bases I still don't like the idea of spending money just to make an airport look nice especially when some are quite expensive, it doesn't really seem like good value to me. UK2000 released my local airport recently for £14, it looks nice but I wonder if it's really worth it when I could buy a plane for that and get tonnes of hours out of that, I'm not sure..

>>530276752
return of the king

Trying out the Slopnado PC-24, initial impressions are that it's not bad, there are things that are not functional, but I expected that, but then things that are which I'm surprised by like breakers, passenger window blinds/tables and some other things. I'm going to do some circuits to get a feel and then go on a journey.

>>530552191
FS2024 has built-in circuit/electrical simulation stuff (made so they could have electrical failures in career mode) so I guess it helps that you just need to connect the breaker animations to that instead of needing to create your own electrical system

>Agonizing over 14 Loonies or whatever they're called
Just buy your local airport, you're going to be using it a lot. Count yourself lucky if it doesn't CTD MSFS2020 like mine does, though.

This plane is surprisingly difficult to land, I'm not used to bizjets.

>>530568712
Honestly the PC-24 is actually not bad for a Carenado plane, systems wise it's better than I expect, it flies a bit strange with a very reactive rudder, and very hard to slow down yet easy to stall, I've no idea if that's realistic. The documentation is non-existent and the in-game checklists are missing parts out, like bleed air. I haven't done a proper long journey in it yet, just a load of circuits and a landing at a small airport.

I'm impressed, I've never had this happen

Roadcraft update is out. Fixed joystick steering and added more wheel support. Vehicles can be secured like cargo. Heavy dump truck still wees with every bump.
1 new vehicle transport, it's a longer Lynx with a trailer and retains the scanner. The other 3 are "search and rescue", just heavier trucks with winches. Since they are largely useless and the SAR scouts have jerry cans I think they'll serve as refueling trucks when that update happens.

nta but thats one of my fav movies of all time, when i was a kid i watched it literally daily during the summer

Every time I think of trying VATSIM, I give up before I connect to the network because the prepping alone feels like work. Fuck.

Newfriend here. Thanks to /k/ I got into Nuclear Option, and I've been playing a lot. I've managed to finish all the showcase battles so I've tried to play the bigger PvE missions, failing miserably.

>>530801152
I'm not exactly being strategic about it, but I generally trend towards knocking out radar stations/trucks and SAMs, especially boltstrikes and stratolaunchers, and then once the air space is safer, start blowing up factories/depots/hangars that let the enemy spawn stuff. Then I can just wipe out ground vehicles without being troubled.

Instead of either/or we should have combi 747s where the lower deck is all cargo but the upper deck could be utilized like a regional airliner for people.
Look at all the weird ass routes people like UPS or Fedex, let alone Amazon, fly every single day. I can almost guarantee there would be paying passengers lining up.

>>530831449
Classic msfs atc
I know I'm asking a lot of it when flying the DC-6 but it will still routinely direct me up to FL300+ no matter what I set on the world map.
Or telling me to begin my descent 30nm before my destination. 30nm out I'm at 3000' above field elevation trying to slow this pig down, its a little late for that.

>>530832018
I'll double check the flight plan afterwards, the error might be in there.

got nuclear option on steam sale and really enjoying it
don't really know what all the different missiles do
but the missions are pretty fun

>>530835768
When you select them it tells you what they do. That and a bit of experimentation and you will quickly understand how to use them if you're a little bit familiar with those.

>>530836192
you mean when i'm in the plane and swap between missiles?
i haven't noticed any text in the upper right at the icons, or where should i look?

>>530837212
No, when you're picking your plane's loadout. Pick the missile and then it has a description at the bottom of the screen.

Talking about NO, the compass is definitely one of, if not my favorite plane. Sure, the Ifrit and others are super cool and powerful, but this weird Su-25-like is pretty fucking good. I love flying around behind hills, popping up to throw a salvo of guided missiles, and then going back to hiding.
You can also fuck up fighters if they underestimate you.

>>530837324
roger, i'll check there
right now i'm just playing ww1 with the slow plane, using the gun

>>530832180
Right I think it was a littlenavmap issue. I opened the simbrief-made plan in lnm, which identified the approach but not the transition, missing the IAF. This may have fucked up the altitudes in the plan within the game which is why the ATC was confused, I'm not sure, I'll fly again tomorrow and check.

>>530838625

It reminds me a lot of the Cessna Scorpion, with a bit of M-346. It's actually really competent in a dogfight and holds energy quite well, as long your opponent is dumb enough to not take you into the vertical. The roll rate at high speed is fucking insane to the point of being difficult to control on my gamepad.

I recommend giving the glide bombs a try. The only thing that really hard counters them are SPAAGs. IR SAMs are totally helpless. The HUD has no idea how to range them so I just go by instinct

Rearm, yes, repair, no. If you need repairs, just park it in the grass and get out. You don't lose the plane as long as none of the parts are red, I think

>>530942175
roger, i'll keep trying to rescue downed pilots with the heli

For anyone playing MSFS 2020/2024, manually increase your page file, the games can eat virtual memory regardless of how much RAM you have and can hit the limit, potentially causing crashes.

The IniBuilds F406 Caravan II has been released for that lad who'd flown them irl and was interested. I'm interested but have bought enough things recently.

Real life, legend formation Jesolo Air show 2025

I don't know why people feel the need to have a career mode when you have the whole world to explore and can roleplay, but each to their own.

>>530945627
>game has crashed four times today
Right well that's me done flying I'm not going to bother again. I deleted my page file post because I realised it's unrelated, the game is using nearly max virtual memory at times but not touching the page file, it must just be a memory leak.

>>530929369
bad dreams

>>530945627
Msfs has both.

>>530940053
>full ailerons down
Why

>>530946183
I know, it was a major selling point for 2024, and the majority of people playing 2024 apparently are in career mode, but I don't really understand why. The gamey side of it becomes irrelevant after a while, I'm level 50+ in American Truck Simulator for example and just do jobs to play the game, I don't care about the money or building up a fleet, it becomes pointless at a certain stage. In terms of people not being able to think of things to fly and do, I find that weird with how large the planet is and how many different planes there are to fly.

I do like the sound of the search and rescue and firefighting missions, Asobo did say they might have missions outside the career mode in the future, because they wanted to force normies to do flight training.

>>530946318
Because they're probably slow as balls following the props

>>530944928
You actually have to take down their anti-air, you cannot just walk up to them.

>>530944928
What is killing you specifically? Overwhelm IR SAMs and SPAAGs with lynchpins or hit them with glide bombs.

>>530947761
Are they aerobreaking?

>>530949753
No, i think he's just trying to stay in the air. Think about those pictures of fighter jets flying along slower aircrafts. They maintain an insane AOA to stay in the air because they're so fucking slow. Same here but with flaps instead.

>>530946318
You ever walk with someone who walks really fucking slow, to the point where it feels physically awkward trying to stay alongside them? Like that but with planes

>>530951443
He's probably the slow walker, he cannot relate

>>530951443
and if you walk too slow you fall flat on your face

Any flight sims for this guy

>>530945627
I like
-fuel costs, landing fees, maintenance costs
-extra maintenance costs for mishandling the plane, like hard landings
-costs for renting/buying new planes
-costs even when you're roleplaying a personal flight and not actually on a "job"
-generating a list of various types of jobs to choose from, which have money values to earn money for the above stuff
-random events on said jobs like "oh no a passenger is sick, change plans to land at a closer airport instead for bonus points"
I could do it with a spreadsheet and my own rules, but Neofly has all that packaged up for me already so I just use that

>>530952196
prepar3d, fsx, and xplane, all shit unfortunately

>>530946615
>I do like the sound of the search and rescue
This is fun because it makes use of actually looking around at the visuals and trying to spot something
Doesn't have to be 2024's built-in career mode, there's a bunch of addons with that gameplay since it's easy to do, just spawn some orange smoke or whatever

>>530952853
That's fine and I should have said that I believe the career addons that have been around for a while prior to 2024's like Neofly probably add a lot more depth than the built-in mode.

lmao took 30 of you to kill me

>>530953138
Nostalgia but also 'Fucking hell FSX looked shit'

>>530953819
It's even cooler watching them get intercepted

>>530953990
If i can i'll throw a few of my own anti-air missiles at them to try and bring down the number before reaching air defenses, to lower the chances of them going through.

>>530954139
Shooting down incoming missiles with your own heaters is one of the coolest feeling things you can do in the game, like casually parrying an arrow out of the air with your sword.

>>530953884
FSX is in like an anti-goldilocks zone where it's just modern enough to not be retro, and therefore gets no charm/nostalgia points for how it looks and feels

is it possible to turn down the difficulty in no?

>>530955375
Not really. Whats giving you such a hard time ?

>>530955649
mostly supersonic missiles coming at me from 10 kms away

>>530955771
Use terrain as cover to hide from the radar/missile and cut the lock, notch them to cut the lock, fly under 20m to cut the radar lock. Find whatever is chucking missiles at you and destroy it with a salvo of AGM-48s. You don't even need to pop over the hill and show yourself, just select the vehicle on your map, get in range and fire.

>>530955771
Are you using terrain cover to hide from radars? Are you suppressing air defenses? Are you notching missiles while using your radar jammer? Are you cutting back throttle and releasing flares to ward off heat seekers?

captcha: ROTAX

>>530955649
NTA, but I'm having trouble too in Breakout. After way too many hours I managed to find a way to reliably kill the first two ships enforcing the blockade, with a Chicane loaded to the brim with AGM-48 and lynchpins, but what comes next is way too much for me to handle. I tried spamming AShM and ARAD and they get all fucking intercepted. Fucking hell what a nigga has to do to touch those damn ships? I even tried with a Medusa, targeting the foremost ships and then jamming them, just to get greeted by an ASH and my missiles still getting intercepted. Other missions at least allow you *some* space of maneuver, even if the dumb ass friendly AI decides to smash into the ground for no good reason.

>>530956164
>>530956248

Really? Because he doesn't act like an amateur developer. That guy has added so much stuff to TCA over just a few years, really puts the Starfield devs to shame.

Huh, so the laser actually can kill planes, it just needs nearly a full charge and close distance

>>530969261
Don't quote me on that, I heard from someone on /simg/ a while ago, maybe he just pops in every now and then I don't know. The game looks fun but I'll wait until it's released, which could be never knowing solo game devs who always succumb to feature creep and burnout.

>>530969778
We're working on those irl to shoot down missiles and other small targets and putting them on ships

Does MSFS24 have this in it? If so, can other players see you do it?

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.

I fucking did it. Lynchpin spam wins. I learned to spray them around so they come from slightly different directions and CIWS can't retarget fast enough. I then nuked the carrier, but the flash blinded me so I ended plunging my Vortex in the sea. I then wanted to have fun and see the fireworks of a Darkreach worth of 1,5kt nukes on the Boscali base, just to see them all swatted out of the air instantly by SPAAG (RIP PALA economy), so in the end I just loaded an Ifrit with PAB-125 and 250 and won the match.

I beat this mission conventionally after my one attempt to nuke the base ended with me literally just nuking myself and nothing else. I swear I fused the nuke but it never even left my weapon bay and just blew up inside me. I have no idea how this happened.

>>531051757

I have yet to get one nuke through any AD, while my AF got multi-nuked, though the aircraft shelters survived somehow despite being at ground zero and was still usable afterwards, so that was hilarious. Also, it seems to me that Chicane is the meta: you can exploit ground to stay below radar, remove any and all ground units with impunity, and shrug off all IR thanks to the low heat emissions. Cricket too is good for this, but considering the stupid amount of lynchpins the Chicane can carry I don't see why ever choosing the Cricket. Every other aircraft gets targeted by a gorillion SARH the moment it takes off, all their munitions get intercepted always. I even tried with a Darkreach, taking the time to climb up to 10km, and still got clapped. It's very frustrating.

I can't believe the Foxbat isn't even on anyone's radar as a potential module, it would fuck so hard!

I can't believe some dev team can't just travel to Algeria, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Russia, India, etc. or even a Western museum to fire the systems up on one of them.

Has anyone actually played a match of NO just dropping off vehicles in the Tarantula? Given how fast entire of convoys of vehicles can go down, taking 3+ minutes to just load up two LCVs or one IFV just seems like a waste of time

Xplane is better in this regard as it renders what you are looking at with the camera instead of just a determined amount around the player.

>>531228205
Even with 2024 they're still adjusting the LOD and it's not right yet imo, it's very noticeable on distant hills, not sure I have a good example of it, you can maybe make it out here in the far mountain.

>>531229232
Maybe this one, honestly when you're moving it's harder to tell, but sometimes you'll get a mountain in the distance where the texture resolution is low and it just sticks out.

>got Nucleares
>the manual is 157 pages long

>>531229471
Yeah you can see it by the river on the right. It's probably due to having to stream everything that they can make a proper fov rendering

Keep forgetting about this. Sad that a 3rd party had to come in and fix that laundry list of problems and it's still not done.

2h15' and I solo'd Confrontation. I'm exhausted and I realize now I could have shaved a lot of time by not being stupid, but in the end I managed to glass the fucking tiny PALA island in the southwest of the map. After sinking too much time in NO I say it's a great game, but I don't feel the stakes: it's fun to fly around and do the ace combat dance, but throwing aircrafts (and pilots) at the enemy doesn't feel like much after the initial phase, and nuking someone doesn't have any gravitas at all. To me HighFleet managed the nuclear theme much, much better.

If you wanted to actually make ROVs then something like Stormworks would work but there's nothing to see on the seabed in it unfortunately, although I'm sure I've heard there are caves but I've never found one.

Take what you will from that.

The trainer variant of the EF is cool as fuck

>>531308246
That would be a cool idea. Something like Voices of the Void or Signal Simulator but a more grounded job and way less obvious about the horror elements.

>>531312324
Too early to tell yet probably a bit of both. I don't have a job anyway at the moment so it can be my first job.
>>531313740

you run the plant from the control room by doing minigames, have a certain amount of power to produce every day
earn points to unlock helpers that do the minigames for you
once all posts are filled the door unlock to the rest of the plant
and then game turns into 2D horror

>>531322628
Make it

>>531327310
I'm so fucking autistic I knew which plane you were flying based on what the fucking side of the cockpit looked like.

One day I'll actually be able to start the reactor but I think I have to read the whole manual first, 23 pages in so far. There are 'checklists' near the end but the rest of it tells you how the reactor works and what's going on.

>>531295032
>one you were using before
The nice multiscreen one? It is the best but it's also the most expensive at $29-$290 per month.
My task is to find something to train teenagers who only played apps with screaming icons to use a joystick and move in 3D space with 5 or 6 degrees of freedom. If I find a cool (affordable) rov sim to play with is a personal bonus for my own fun, the rov I pilot is backpack sized and not the industrial kind. Movement training will likely be something like subnautica or miner wars or whatever

Look mate it's scary, you have no idea how many things there are to track. I've already fucked up the sodium hydroxide tank by putting a bit of boric acid in it and it'd cost 100 grand to decontaminate it, meaning I can't use ion exchange for boron dosing, I have to add it to the primary loop meaning I need to remember to leave room for it and then adjust the filter pump speed to improve reactor stability. Fucks sake.

>>531465689
What happens if you fuck up? Will there be sirens and emergency lighting?

>>531465818
I've only seen screen shots of that and yeah red lighting, sirens and all that aswell as a warning of imminent meltdown and you have to leg it to the train to escape otherwise you'll die. I have a feeling when I finally get it running it's going to be like spinning plates.

Imagine you win a competition and get to be a passenger in a 346 on a flight, you're up there doing loops and flying around, maybe the pilot lets you have a go, and then suddenly he goes silent, he's unresponsive, he must have had a heart attack. Now you have to land the plane and save the man's life! the ATC asks if you've flown a plane before and you say not but you have 1000+ hours in flight simulators. You land the plane, perfect landing, the pilot survives, the whole frecce tricolori run out to you and celebrate. As a token of gratitude they make you an honorary member of the team, free to fly with them as a passenger in the future, and pay for you to get your PPL.

and then you wake up

I would be lying if I didn't daydream about that while driving. IIRC for the nickname "Master" they had a open competition and for the winner the prize was a senpai flight on a M-346.

Ask and ye shall receive, send them a message, you might be surprised.

I had asked a member of another squadron during a show and they said the rules tightened a lot in the recent years. Now it's almost impossible unless it's for public relations reasons like documentaries etc. If I ever go back again to the 61st Stormo I will definetly ask again as hope dies last.

>/simg/ is srsbsns
relax m8 its all in good fun
real pilots don't actually consider any landing you can walk away from a good one but they've all made that joke at least once. nobody wants to get stuck in the cockpit with a square.

>>531485498
Any landing where the plane touches the ground is a good one

>>531472269
what happened

>>531465689
>I've already fucked up the sodium hydroxide tank by putting a bit of boric acid in it and it'd cost 100 grand to decontaminate it, meaning I can't use ion exchange for boron dosing
Yeah, actually you can't do any of that, because I'm here with OSHA and I'm having your boss fire you.
Nuclear energy is NOT a game.

>>531491037
>boss
I am the boss, this is my station. By the way can I see some ID please? There were no audits scheduled.

Sweet. I wonder who will win the best solo display this year

>He thinks OSHA gives you a heads up warning after an incident
Your warning was when you committed a grievous safety violation.

I've been really enjoying the SWS PC-12 for 2020

Will Euro Truck Simulator help me learn to drive?

Is this how to make MSFS fun to fly?

>>531520340
the only fun parts are engine start checklist autism, configuring avionics, departure, arrival, approach, and landing. And comms if you do vatsim. Cruise is boring and gay. So yes I guess

>>531520530
>Cruise is boring
We can fix that

Assetto Corsa would be better for this.
And there was this simulator what's happening in a city - don't remember its name. City Driver or something? That has real traffic rules and whatnot.

I think you can pirate this if you want to try it out.

Haven't played DCS in years. Is there any reason to come back, or is all of the stupid bullshit still there?

As someone who has operated a nuclear reactor, I'm somewhat interested to try this to see how accurate this is. At the same time, I'm extremely motivated to not try it because I hate operating a nuclear reactor

>>531551517
What does a nuclear reactor operator even do? I'd expect something like a reactor to be fully automated.

>>531520340
It's how adhd-riddled zoomers fly

>>531551517
Did you have an escape train just in case you caused a meltdown? I get the feeling that whilst it's based on how reactors function, I think the management of it is going to be very gamey but I have no idea. I'm in the process of filling everything up with water, there was something I missed and I had sirens going off before I'd even started the reactor.

>>531551517
>hmmm what career should I go into?
>well I really hate operating nuclear reactors
>a position operating a nuclear reactor? Perfect.

>>531571593
After much fucking around I think the coolant system is all ready, I have to pop out for a few hours but will have a go at starting the reactor later.

>>531573135
>hey this job looks so cool from the outside
>I'll specialize and do that
>get in
>this is hell and now I can't escape
I know that feel so well

>>531575302
In my experience in long term positions there was always about a year of interest where I was learning new things then it descended into insufferable drudgery.

>>531480696
In such a situation wouldn't they just tell you over radio to eject?

Guaranteed death for the pilot and a destroyed expensive jet? Unlikely.

At least you're earning a lot

There's a driver academy thing in the truck sim games to teach you, no I haven't done it, yes I'm shit at reversing.

you'll never improve if you remain in denial

M-346 super omnia

Of course the one time I can't go to RIAT is when they have a U2 on display.

Just like Raffaello

Do Italian pilots make hand gestures whilst talking over the radio?
