>>531767751

does beamng fit here. the legacy horichi sunburst looks SO much better than the new version, what the fuck were they thinking. it went from my favorite fuck around car and now its just painfully grim as fuck looking

>>531768273
Sure why not but there is a driving games thread on /o/

>>531767751
fighter jet sim? DCS.
fighter pilot sim? BMS.

>>531768273
Oh yeah, I noticed it as well. Didn't drive it much since I prefer older cars, but it's sad nonetheless. The bus is pretty cool though - I've never driven a lot of them in vidya but I'm finding steering one a lot of fun.

>>531768542
they mostly discuss arcade game though. I think that actual full blown sims (think OMSI 2, the like) should mostly stay here.

>>531768784
I agree but haven't been there so I don't know exactly what they discuss, truck and bus sims and the like definitely belong here.

>>531768784
luckily you can just, mod the legacy one back in, so really im just bitching about "getting additional cars". i guess modding will taper off of the legacy one because its no longer default.

theres also a surprising lack of derby attachments and equipment. im actually legt considering learning how to make models (again) to pump them out. very, very simple models of just diy redneck armor. it would be very simple, and easy to pump out like 10 different styles of external "roll cage", so this weekend imma start figuring it out (again).

I think this is bad

Probably not.
Not sure why nobody mentioned it here.
Didn't see it on the flight sim subreddits either.
I get that the devs are coders first and unpaid, so PR is nil, but I expected more organic hype given how impressive and long in coming its been.
I must just be that much of a boomer now, kids don't even know BMS exists.

>>531897318
It's definitely impressive and I look forward to trying it out in the future some time but for me, no FFB, and the only full-cockpit ground attack bird being FBW anyway means I'll still give it a miss for now. Very impressive what they've done from where they started now though.

>>531783276
I'm excited. An unfortunately underexplored period.

Is the gigantic pack of FSX mods still available? We used to have a mega that had pretty much everything you needed to make it look good and add shittons of planes. I like FS2020 but it just lacks some of the hand-crafted addons and nuance FSX had.

>>532037213
I used to use GEX+RTX for terrain but abandoned them in favour of the OrbX country packs as they were miles ahead. I'd use REX for weather textures and ActiveSky for live weather, or the other way round I can't remember. Honestly the amount of addons made for MSFS in the past 5 years is mental so there's not that much missing. The Dash 8 is the main one along with some A2A planes.

>>532037718
Did you pay for the OrbX country packs?

>>532039902
I did at the time, I spent far too much on FSX addons

>>532039902
I should explain: I'm only asking because I was curious if the paid version outpaced the freeware variant.

>>532039959
Ah I see, thanks.
$90AUD doesn't seem so bad compared to one DCS module so I can easily pay it if I go back to FSX full time.

>>532040130
I really wouldn't go back mate, it ran and looked like shit, outside a few planes I miss it isn't worth it.

>>532040653
fair, I miss some of the modeling and hand-crafted airports. Are there any better modeling mods for MSFS? The satellite imagery and airport crafting leaves much to be desired in some places that had some peak terrain mods in FSX. Same with the amount of planes available.

>>532041154
Have a look on flightsim.to for freeware, other sites for payware airports.

Are you getting the Rafale for MSFS when it comes out?

any1 else worried that the sim and flight obsession is just some kind of cope

even though i did this as a kid it just feels like cope right now because ive wanted to move to canada since forever and i just can't do it

so i cope by flying a cessna 172 around ottawa whenever i feel like flying

ive also threatened CYOW over phone calls and keep calling ottawa flying club as a fuck you

>>532106894
heres a screenshot

>>532106894
Exploring the world virtually isn't cope, it's fun. I suppose it's cope in that a lot of us can't afford a PPL, or to own a plane.

yes it is cope because i literally am not fucking allowed to move to canada despite having always wanted to

AzurPoly are good devs and have been officially licensed by Rafale so I think it could be study level.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KvjCicWndQ
I'm not sure I'll get it, it seems like the sort of thing that could come to DCS, but I suppose the development for that for take a decade knowing dcs.

>>532107359
>i literally am not fucking allowed to move to canada despite having always wanted to
no offence and I don't want to turn this into /pol/ but if you're indian then why should anyone let you in? Everywhere you go you behave badly, I keep seeing videos on social media of places that were clean like Norway starting to have a few indians and they immediately start littering everywhere even on pristine mountain trails and act like it's the most normal thing.
We've seen with the UK and Canada what happens with mass immigration so you can't really fault countries and people for not wanting you.

>>532109183
Yeah, in MSFS usually what gets me going is the actual flying and sightseeing. It's the reason I like trainers so much there since they are a nice in-between.
Meanwhile the Rafale feels kinda wasted in such a sim, dropping bombs, doing BFM and BVR engagement etc seems more natural but you can't do it in MSFS. Granted that we'll have to see with the HB F-2000 in DCS just how much they will actually model, because if it ends up like another F-16 at launch then I'll just keep flying in MSFS.

>>532109893
I know what you mean and I agree, that's what I avoid getting military planes for civsims if I know they could be used in DCS. What has changed now though is the weaponry in MSFS where devs now make functioning missiles and bombs that explode on impact, obviously still doesn't damage buildings but it's something. I'll still might get the A-1 for MSFS though even though I know there's one in development for DCS. The C-130 for DCS is the other way round though, that seems stupid.

>>532110075
>What has changed now though is the weaponry in MSFS where devs now make functioning missiles and bombs that explode on impact
Oh yeah I forgot about that. If I could even just have a somewhat realistic bomb release physics in MSFS like in Xplane12 I doubt I would ever go back to DCS beside the usual 3-4 months fixation I have every winter.
>The C-130 for DCS is the other way round though, that seems stupid.
I tought the same too. Unless you had a dynamic campaign closer to what I heard the BMS ones are like, I don't see how it would make sense beside for people who really like the plane in general. You could use it to do very short resupply runs in multiplayer and that's it.
If they were ever to do a C-27J module for DCS I would probably buy it but just to replicate the display shows the RSV does.

>>532110582
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=US2Q_qxtUEI&t=699s
They're honestly pretty good, this is by the same dev as the Rafale. They explode, leave a 'crater' (no idea what that looks like on buildings) and smoke.

>>532110772
>They explode, leave a 'crater'
That's good enough for me. I hope IFE will add this to the M-346.

>Reaction Engines went bust last year
Fucking hell I didn't know that, that's awful, I was looking forward to the SABRE engine and Skylon. I suppose re-usable rockets affected it, but it looks like it's been picked up by ESA now.

>>532106894
>>532107319
absolute cope, most here are too mentally ill for a PPL

>>532106894
A little bit.
I wanted to fly since I was 6 but was considered too depressed to even touch a yoke until I moved out. Flight Sims became my cope for that when I was very, very young and I've just kept it up even after I got a PPL.

It's been fun seeing all the little differences between reality vs the things I grew up with. Honestly these simulators are more accurate than I thought they were when I first started.

>>532122902
no u

>>532107319
>a lot of us can't afford a PPL, or to own a plane.
My grandfather noticed this too, Aviation has been priced out of the private pilot market. If you're not directly sponsored by a multi-million dollar multinational business, there's no hope of you ever being able to recreationally own any of the planes you see in flight simulators.

Now old shitboxes from the 50s and 60s? Those are the things the little people can own, and even then it costs an exorbitant amount.

>>532123521
I guess all that to say: Flight Simulators are a poorfag cope for not being born rich or not making it with Crypto to where they can throw $500,000 down the drain for a new Skylane and not think twice about it.

>>532123643
NTA but I'd disagree nonetheless, I think the majority of planefags are pretty okay with not being able to fly irl, and instead just focus on making their sim cockpit as realistic as possible. The majority of posts here are about military aviation anyways, sometimes even WW-era, not Cessnas or whatever.

>>532123503
being mentally ill doesn't completely forbid you from flying irl, mind you, it just makes it more time-consuming and expensive than most poorfags here could handle

>>532123643
You can just rent planes, but it's expensive

>>532124378
>being mentally ill doesn't completely forbid you from flying irl
you literally cannot fly if you even are suspected of having had depression in the past. Hell, there are pilots who have been grounded for having posted that they were sad at their own immediate family passing away.

>>532123521
Being priced out of learning to fly isn't that big of a deal when you've already been priced out of buying a home, priced out of starting a family, and even priced out of having a fun car already.

>>532125089
It'll be made from balsa wood and papier maché

Here in Italy regarding buying funs, it's not so clear cut. You can't get your license if you're currently taking medications for depressions or have an actual mental illness but if you were depressed and now aren't in treatment anymore then you can get it. One of the guys I go to the range with often goes to therapy for mild depression and he still has his guns.

>>532128404
Not actually true, our laws are confusing but you can own a 50 calibre rifle if you wanted to, but you'd need to be a member of a gun club. It gets weird with handguns, which were banned in the 90s (apart from in norn iron) after a school shooting, if you stick a bit of metal on the handle of say a revolver, it's now legal as it's a longer weapon. You can own guns here you just need a good reason.

I didn't know there was a Magister at RIAT, I missed it.

A quick check on eBay turned up a wing for $600 and a motor for $2500. NOLF.

So 2 of these are going in the new utility helo. There is a short range SAM, 40mm GMG that can do indirect fire, and nuclear suicide bomber

>>532169819
So it's truly, utterly, and completely ogre right?

>>532171013
Well that's the thing: Razbam originally came from making FSX mods. They had one of the most popular F-18 and EF-2000 mods in FSX back in the day. Like before they were modules in DCS.

I imagine they could just take the work they've done, polish it up a bit, and put it on FS2020/2024. But that takes time, that takes money, that takes manpower they may not have anymore. It's definitely set them back, and if they ever re-release any of their stuff for FS2020 I'm 100% on board with buying it again

>>532172494

Moving to MSFS could be profitable, it has a much larger audience than DCS, but they'd obviously have to make everything from the ground up.

>>532243076
>they'd obviously have to make everything from the ground up.
I'm not so sure of that. I think one of the reasons IFE and HB released some of their DCS modules on MSFS is because they could reuse the assets they already had developed from DCS.

>>532243221
Good point, models can be re-used but I would imagine they'd need to learn a new SDK, so not from the ground up but it'd take time.

before the introduction of the cold war germany map I tought the G-91 would be DOA, now I think it has some chances to at least break even. Still, I don't feel that comfortable buying DCS stuff untill the razbam thing is completely resolved.

>>532264012
From what I headd a lot of DCS developers are purposefully delaying their products in order to see how the Razbam ED thing will be resolved. If they decide a clause that says you have to give them your source code I bet half of the devs are going to run away

>>532270724
They may run away anyway if ED just decides to keep the money and tell Razbam to fuck themselves.
I know Heatblur already said that it took an extremely long time for them to get their Tomcat money and were basically operating on nothing for upwards of a year

It looks nice

C-130 is slated for 2025 per ASC themselves.

Fucks SAKE

>>532281597
Okay strangely it resets your graphics settings but keeps everything else perhaps so maybe my controls are safe.

That shit is OP as fuck.

The balance overall seems odd to me:
>the Cricket doesn't seem to have any substantial advantage over the Chicane
>IR missiles are a waste of hardpoints unless you can get to gun range because they get 100% spoofed by flares
>Compass
>why would I ever load anything but AGM and the 76 on the Tarantula?
>Revoker when Vortex and Ifrit exist

>>532306294
>the Cricket doesn't seem to have any substantial advantage over the Chicane
It's supposed to have better optical sensors and it's a little faster, but there's a reason it's the cheapest lowest tier aircraft.
>IR missiles are a waste of hardpoints unless you can get to gun range because they get 100% spoofed by flares
They can be used to shoot down incoming missiles. Or fire them off and then fire off your scythes since currently you can't dump flares and jam at the same time.
>why would I ever load anything but AGM and the 76 on the Tarantula?
Useful to capture airbases, replace stratolance radar, or sometimes dropping munitions containers.

>>532306294
AI generally doesn't respond in time if you launch an IR missiles from within 4km especially if you have airspeed already, and a shot looking down the hot tailpipe of a jet can semi-reliably kill.
>Compass
Designated shardslayer
>Revoker
If you want to fill external hardpoints, might as well take the Revoker over the Vortex, since both will have big RCS anyway. The nose pointing authority with the 3D vectoring nozzle is insane.

It would've look so bad if it used a top mounted radar dish instead of a beer gut

Bought an Islander in FSEconomy and now get to fly it all the way from Montana to South Carolina

I vaguely remember installing dcs world years ago and to intentionally avoid dcs steam world for some reason. I actually remember it being a good reason and not just drm autism. It was like peripheral interface or updates or something.

Can someone refresh me on why? I see the franchise is on sale on steam and my sticks/pedals have been collecting dust for months.

All I want is a jet, a helicopter, and a terrain

>>532334083
Fucking based. I have a bit over 3,000 hours in Islanders IRL. And the hearing damage to prove it, kek

>>532349989
>I actually remember it being a good reason and not just drm autism
I don't think there is any actual good reason now. Maybe in the past?
The DRM is there even on the standalone version.
What Steam doesn't have is the free trial every 6 months but that's that.

>>532356064
well I just bought the ah-64, the f-15, and combined arms.

I want a good sky-truck turboprop plane for MSFS. Like another Grand Caravan. Suggestions?

>>532334083
Is that the Blackbox Simulations Islander? I've heard they're good but they use FSX-tier textures.

>>532390453
Single or twin engine?

>>532361914
>Fo(u)r pussy!

>>532359041
Are you playing mostly single player or multiplayer?

i love pussy

>>532357380
Not exactly a blunder but they're both complex aircraft with a lot of systems to learn.
you have pedals so you're already ahead of most aspiring rotorheads, use the OH-6 mod as a trainer if you're crashing a lot.
combined arms is a fucking meme honestly, only use is scenic drives, LARPing, and trolling MP servers that forget to block the JTAC slot

Hell yeah dawg, if thats you, its me. I'm CFI-ing these days, I just like the Islander and still come home after sweating my dick off in a 172 all day to play MSFS

Since you're around, whats the proper leaning procedure? In MSFS I lean it until peak fuel flow, because I noticed fuel flow increases then decreases after leaning past a certain point, which I'm not sure actually makes sense. I'm too gay and lazy to read the POH

>>532396802
yessir, I like it, the textures never bothered me. It's fun and flies gud
