Thank you for your service, I saw it was dead but couldn't be arsed.

Unrelated but ChatGPT does a reasonable job of making Little Navmap aircraft performance files. Send it one as an example, and then just ask it to make a file for the aircraft of your choice.

>>543119135
I had tried that for a XPFlightplanner aircraft performance profile but it completely made up 90% of the values to the point that it was easier to make from scratch.

>>543120373
Who's flying it?
>>543123148
Honestly what it provided sounded believable, if the performance is baked into the addon then I can actually check in the EFB planning bit.

Remember to start TrackIR before you start the game

>>543123757
>Who's flying it?

Normally I would post these on /sp/ during the week between races, the joke was that I didn't have any webms of real racing footage handy so it was quicker & easier to go to my replay folder instead because a good sim should look "realistic".
Because like another anon said in /ovg/ the point of making these is to showcase the game not my driving and to inspire others to try shit themselves since everyone online is a bot. Because in a good sim you should be able to see weight transfer under acceleration and braking, suspension movement, going over curbs should not be flat, the game should look dynamic.
Are the tracks accurate? Is there night racing and weather things that aren't in vanilla Assetto Corsa. What types of cars do they have? You don't have to be locked into some irenting subscription that limits what you can drive, find a game that has the cars you want and just do it. Like I wish rf2 had more street cars like in Assetto Corsa.

But now I got into a cycle of trying to push myself to improve each time with new recordings better than the previous ones. So I have to try and drive on the limit so I can showcase what the physics engine can do.

>tfw your gf asks what game your playing
uh I'm playing Battlefield 6 babe.
no it's not that ded game rfactor2 that Max Verstappen told everyone was shit and to uninstall why would I be playing that?

>>543133142
Ignore Verstappen, what would he know?

That was a great flight, I actually did a really good landing and taxied really well too. I'm finding hover taxiing the hardest part of flying helicopters so far honestly, reducing the sensitivity of my collective (hotas throttle irl) has made a big difference.

>>543138670
pirouettes are fun practice
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMGx-cqgoUU

>>543138670
If you are able to, reducing the drag on your throttle will help a lot with using it as a collective. You need to make lots of small, quick, and precise movements with a collective.

>>543149850
The t1600000m throttle is shit honestly, it's not smooth, maybe I should lubricate it. I've lowered the sensitivity tonnes otherwise it makes hover taxiing a nightmare, it's either too much so you go up and then fall down and smack down on the skids or not enough, you can't find the right spot.

>>543155417
Why does it have wallpaper in the cockpit?

>>543150540
Ah yes, that was the throttle I started flying helis with (I use a Virpil collective now). Getting some silicone grease on the rails helps a bit with the stiction feeling, but what helped the most for me was to reverse the axis so that you pull to go up, push to go down.

>>543141835
Is that you? It looks hard
>>543156329
Reversing the axis is interesting, I'll try that out.

Hey frens, is this Gran Turismo 3?

I drove a train. Choo Choo was enjoyed

>>543168669
Yeah, the gt4 version of the track toned down the color of the yellow road markings and added a spire of a dead tree to the horizon decoration at the vista beyond the turn.

Cheers I'll have a look. I'm about to fly at night, never done it in a heli, the weather is rubbish too, I'll probably die.

>>543279905
This is scary lads I don't like it, the landing light reflecting off the clouds doesn't help, I might climb and see if I can get out of them.

Does anyone want to play DCS with a noob? I bought a shitty HOTUS from Best Buy and the f14 module about 2 months ago and only just beat the dogfight mission with the ai opponent. I like the idea of multiplayer in it and I also want to learn how to play RIO. Also I need friends.

>>543281198
This is horrible, I'm trapped in the shadow realm with only my instruments for company

>>543285038
Fuck me I don't know how but I made it, I nearly crashed a few times on the, zero visiblity, I think I was flying through thunderstorm as I was getting thrown around, and the ATC got confused and told me to descend to 100ft at one point. That was the most stressful thing I've ever done in a flightsim I think.
>>543282627
There are quite a few DCS players around, it's a bit dead this weekend though.

>>543273217
neat

the simulation continues

>>543271024
I've been watching vsTerminus for the Mi-8. I still don't understand hovering. Also landing. I'm either overpitching or getting stuck in vortex ring state, and it's frustrating the hell out of me.
I think it's just a case of more practicing. I've gotten decent at nose wheel take offs and level flight but man getting up into a hover, vertical take offs, and landings are a pain in the ass.

>>543309109
practicing vuichard recoveries will help with VRS. hovering is hard as fuck, all about putting the reps in until it clicks. the first couple times it all comes together feel like magic.
if you're flying the hip, the best mi-8 tip i've seen is to treat it like a ww2 bomber.

>>543315763
>treat it like a ww2 bomber.
That's kind of what I gathered. I think what bothers me with vertical take offs is she isn't responsive until she is. No matter how light I am on the collective the second I get above light on wheels state I can't find the right anti-torque adjustments. Then I get into a hover and I'm just floating all over the place. Very sloppy.
I'm slowly getting it but the trial and error has been hilarious. At least I'm not rolling over like I was when I first started.
It's funny, I don't even wanna shoot shit with rockets. I just wanna do cargo hauling and being an air bus.

>I don't even wanna shoot shit with rockets
fun when you get there, in addition to being a comfy battle bus it's also a decent flying MLRS

>>543282627
>Does anyone want to play DCS with a noob?
I'm sorry but DCS has died in the last week for the boys. What HOT-ASS did ya get? Yeah the ol' Tomcat is a fun beast, good job with the quickstart! RIO is fun, and is where the real magic happens. Hopefully see you around soon.
No spoonfeeding.

>>543317647
>No matter how light I am on the collective the second I get above light on wheels state I can't find the right anti-torque adjustments.
For takeout, you need to torque first, then pull collective, and for low speed maneuvers you want to basically always my moving the anti torque pedals at the same instant that you are moving the collective. It takes a while to get to know how much torque goes with how much collective, but if you are still waiting to see the nose rotate then you are always going to be behind the motion.
Also you need to learn the amounts that you will need for hovering, transitional lift, and forward flight, as well as all the grey areas in between. Takes a while, but it's very satisfying when it starts to be automatic.

>>543346598
*For takeoff, not takeout.

>>543346598
Not him but any advice on keeping pitch whilst changing collective? I always find that it throws me off a bit how much the nose rises when increasing collective. What's the trick, just do it slowly?

For anyone on MSFS 2024, you can have your control sensitivity settings specific for each profile. >go to axis in controls, let's say throttle axis
>next to that is a cog
>that brings up actions settings menu
>click tweak action curve
>that then brings up the sensitivity settings for that specific axis
>that will be saved as part of the profile
>hardware settings is general and for everything
That means you can have different sensitivity settings for each plane.

>>543367430
Help this man
>>543282627

>>543368685
Mostly fly rotors and redfor, not much help with the Tomcat. NATO carrier ops look pretty, though.
>>543282627
Taking off and landing without murdering anyone is important, too. 4YA, Burning Skies, Return Pre-Contact, Greyflag, find a good noob-friendly PvE server and become a regular.
Training squads like VWA or Take Flight have regular open blufor group programs if you like external structure.
Finding a decent squad that isn't too sweaty or retarded is always half the challenge of any milsim.

>>543354550
Yeah you have to increase collective pretty slowly in a hover, you can do it faster in transitional lift of forward flight though. Plus you just develop a feel of where the cyclic is supposed to me in certain situations, which a lot easier with a springless joystick instead of using the center trim function on a sprung joystick.

>>543337242
what sim is this?

>>543367430
too bad the sim never looks that good outside of trailers

not sure if it's really more of a wargame with simulator systems, or a sim with wargame systems, but screenshots help bump the thread.

>>543384036

>>543346598
Interesting. I can now get it into hover and have a 50% chance of it being stable. Slow and steady, I guess.

>>543382535
My niece got to bring a couple of the batons from her aviation camp and we sword fought with them. It was as much fun as you'd think it would be.

>below 0C

I definitely flew through icing conditions on that flight but it didn't matter because a nuke went off.

Long time no simming. Landed in Murmansk but X-Plane didn't take a screenshot for whatever reason. I come back to simming like every 2 months and every time I've forgotten a bunch of information. I'm stuck in a limbo skills/knowledge-wise.

>>543402647
The answer is to fly more, or maybe stick to simpler planes, the king air isn't easy.

>>543403470
I can still handle the King Air decently, last time I flew I was getting used to the Citation X. But yeah, one ladder at a time...

>>543489738
Cruising.

>>543490224
RNAV STAR soon. Then RNAV approach. I wonder does the X-Plane 12 default ATC give NDB/VOR/DME approaches anymore? Older versions did.

>>543457959
love gauges, ate garminslop, simple as

Descending.
>>543491829
I'd love to fly without GPS. Have to look around for some free custom X-Plane planes with only steam gauges. I've been flying with just the default planes so far.

>>543492061
GPS has its uses I just prefer navigating with VORs, NDBs and even just visual because it's more fun. There's nothing stopping you just not sending your flight plan to it, I like using them just as maps even if I am using VORs.

Approach stabilized, landing clearance received.
>>543492235
Sure, but it's probably more immersive to fly a plane in which you can't rely on GPS at all, no matter what. I feel like the Garmin unit is a cheat code just because it shows a crude map for you. I like it, but I'd also like to fly without any modern instruments at all. I like NDB and VOR approaches but I've never really navigated en-route with them.

>>543494106
You'd definitely have paper maps back in the day when you flying with no gps or anything else so allowing yourself to use a map of some description is probably okay, but it is fun not using anything.

>>543494106
Approach chart for this flight.
>>543494254
Yeah it'd be actually cool to print a physical map for VFR. I like to simulate realism so I'd definitely use a map, just not GPS or any kind of pointer which shows where I'm at.

>>543494617
And yeah I flew to a joint civil-military airport so I didn't bother avoiding restricted airspaces. X-Plane ATC doesn't simulate clearances for these either so idk.

>>543494617
Little navmap is good as you can turn off the plane and the line and just have it as a map. The 24 EFB is good too but I don't think you can turn those off in it..

>>543495418
Little Navmap is awesome indeed, I use it as you probably already saw from that screenshot above. I don't know much about physical aviation maps but from the few pictures I recall seeing they were pretty full of interesting details and especially all VOR/NDB stations were clearly shown and airways too which I guess often have crossroads at these radio navaid stations. Lots of assumptions on my part, my point just is that such official physical maps are quite different from how Little Navmap looks, I assume.

>>543495702
I'm not very good with approach plates because I don't do IFR much, it's something I need to practice. Printing everything out does sound fun.

>>543495857
IFR is fun, from my limited experience it's all about being ahead the plane and the arrival/approach plan. I can do a RNAV GPS arrival and approach pretty chill, no stress, ILS too is quite easy but VOR, VOR/DME and especially NDB require much more work so it's not so easy to keep ahead the plane without extensive practice, at least for me. SID's can be tricky sometimes too, and STAR's, especially if they rely on VOR or NDB's and minimum route noise restrictions because you're flying above houses. But yeah I'm just an amateur still at this stuff, only like 100 hours of flying in X-plane.

Is msfs 2024 good yet?

>>543497378
if you're thinking of getting it I would suggest waiting until SU4 is released probably next month, or join the beta if you get it now, as it's currently in a good state with it. It was a shitshow early on but I don't have any issues with it now.

>>543497928
Also in terms of is it better than 2020, then the answer is definitely yes. I wasn't sure initially if it would be as apart from career mode it was just lots of smaller changes, but the game feels a lot better, the planes fly better, the performance is a lot better, it looks better and the efb is fucking great. I haven't used career mode so can't comment, that's where most of the bugs were.

>>543497928
>>543498826
hmm... I might jump the gun on that update. I felt the call of the skies recently and watching msfs 2020 install several hundred gigs hurts.

>>543499881
24 is fuck all.

>>543499881
ornithopter and ease of piracy are the only real advantages, but needing a 500 gig install sort of negates any positives it has over 2024

real life isn't real

The body of former freelance lawnmower Keith Higgs was found earlier this morning, reportedly in an advanced stage of decomposition. First impressions are that the 67 year old, born in Invercargill, suffered a massive heart attack more than 3 weeks before his discovery.

According to the witness (a neighbor conducting a wellness check), Higgs was found slumped over his desk still clutching his HOTAS; on his computer was a still-running copy of IL2 1946, with the image of a crash landed Spitfire Mk.Vb burned into the monitor. Two empty bottles of Dewar's White Label scotch were found next to the body. Coroner's theory suggests he suffered the heart attack while en route and did his darnedest to get his plane home, before succumbing. The plane appeared to have no damage other than a prop strike on the initial landing.

Higgs often frequented the controversial imageboard 4chan, engaging in its flight simulator related 'threads', notably "/simg/". He had been banned several times in the past for repeated signature use, and he also had a history of racist and other offensive language, often targeting the Maori and Chinese.

He had previously served four years in the Royal New Zealand Dental Corps, before being discharged for repeated sexual harassment of female staff. Higgs always maintained his innocence, but ultimately it took a toll on his marriage, resulting in divorce.
He spent the rest of his years as a near-recluse, his son Tim being his only outside contact, often playing flight simulators together, until Tim moved to Palmerston North in 2023.
Both he and Keith's estranged wife Sue declined to comment.

Apparently Aeroflot uses Simbrief for its flights

Through the power of trim and a strong will, I have achieved hover. Then I flew around and went for a short landing, almost had it, over pitched, then crashed. At least I made it past the transition into hover stage but got caught in a VRS. Tried to nose down and cyclic right but I was too low.
Baby steps.

Tonight's flight. Things went pretty well but I got distracted by flight director after FAF so ~1500 feet above ground my approach stability wasn't the best so I had to go steeper than the usual glide slope which would probably be a go-around IRL?

IAS

>>543532951
Nice, thanks. I missed that video.

>>543581291
kino

>>543532951
Interestingly enough in the video he says that the flaps are automatic and that the ailerons droop as well similar to an F-35 and other modern jets.
In both the MSFS and Xplane version this isn't the case so I wonder if it's an upgrade for the block20 version.
I knew that the system retracted flaps by itself above certain speeds and didn't allow you to drop them for safety (simulated only in MSFS) but I never heard of it actually having true automatic flaps.
One thing I didn't realize was that it's pretty uncommon for a trainer to have a full HUD in the back seat as well, which makes me wonder how hard it's to land trainers like the T-38 or the T-45 from the backseat IRL in case the trainee isn't able to do it. The few times I tried it in the sim with the t45 it was scary as fuck not being able to see properly the carrier and I crashed 3 times out of 5.

>>543618937
Is the landing gear automatic too?

>>543619038
in msfs yes, it doesn't allow you to drop it above 250kt but it doesn't retract it automatically. I have no sources on how it behaves IRL. in Xplane you can drop/retract it whenever you want.

>>543618937

Ukraine purchased 100+ gripens. Now they need to do the needful and purchase a bunch of M-346FA for training/drone hunters.

>>543657321
>AI powered
top signal

https://acarsdrama.com/
Slightly interesting

>>543657585
Usually the more modern the fighter the shorter training is. These new Gripens Es are basically a single LAD like the F-35 and if nothing changed their LAD are the same that will be used on the M-346 block20.
Here in Italy a complete course to the end of phase IV is usually 9 months IIRC. At the IFTS other countries sometimes choose different packages if they can do the rest at home and are done in 6 months.
I think for Ukraine they would go even faster. If they don't buy a new trainer and just yolo it it will be even faster considering they might just transfer seasoned pilots onto the new machine so they might just need a couple of months in Sweden.
In terms of actual physical deliveries no idea but I guess it's gonna be slow.

>>543655094
cheap racing pedals or the ancient CH set are unironically great as anti-torque

>>543662979

>>543674059
That's what I thought, the only one I've come across with it so far is the Mini 500 by Got Friends which has a button to enable or disable it, I'm not sure why they would add in an assistance setting for it though.

>>543710507
I lived under the decent path of Tampa International along the 1000ft final for 19L and 19R. It was really fun. Never saw anything interesting, mostly just Airbuses and Boeings.
Now I live in a rural area not far from an airport under the final. I see a lot more interesting things coming in and out of it. One day I saw a flight of L-39s taking off while fishing at the lake. Really cool.

>>543710507
Just get a hobby like shooting guns or dropping trees with a chainsaw, that will take care of the annoying hearing problem you have. Bonus: you'll never have to listen to a woman nagging you ever again.

I try to learn the Citation X as my first jet but it makes me feel so on edge that my neck gets all stiff and I get a headache.

You'll just have a constant EEEEEEEEEE on top of the nagging.

Maybe the Xplane M-346 is more accurate than I tought in regards to how hard it is to slow down. But I do still feel like it should be easier to bring to an halt during landings at zero throttle.

>>543748383
You'll have to try the P3D and FSX versions on your quest to find the most realistic m346

>>543753304
Try and look for a bizjet with a garmin cockpit like the vision jet, it'll be easier.

>>543753504
Thanks, I'll do if I get frustrated enough with the Citation. I've had 2 departures and borked both because the ATC gave me a VOR departure and for some reason I can't make the Citation X's autopilot to follow a VOR radial. Seems like a bug tbqh...

>>543754095
I don't know the Citation X but make sure the AP is set to NAV and not GPS

>>543754181
AP PFD source was set to PFD1, PFD1 NAV source was set to VOR, AP was set to NAV. I think these should be correct but it did absolutely nothing, it just flew straight even though I had the radial dialed in and the PFD1 showed that I'm flying away from the radial.

>>543754652
Something to do with the AP modes perhaps, maybe it was on HDG mode instead

>>543755248
I flipped through the modes and combinations and in my mind tried everything that made sense but I guess I'll have to go through the manual X-Plane provides. Their manuals aren't the greatest though, often they are outdated and missing info.

>>543755576
Yes, I used those switches and knobs to set the proper NAV source. And it worked fine for FMS1 GPS navigation. Also AP HDG mode worked fine.

>>543755921
Dunno then sorry mate, have you tried turning it off and on again?

These kind of videos are cool, always learn something new. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7XgaoGNdXQ

Why does this exist?

Can (You) guys recommend me cheap webcams for headtracking? I've been trying to use my cellphone with a usb cable to connect to my pc but it doesn't fucking work and wifi SUCKS so fucking much it's better to just kms.

>>543762272
Are you using smoothtrack? There's a guide to get it set up with the cable, it's easy.

>>543762272
PS3 Eye is still the cheapest 60fps webcam you can buy.

>>543762385
I've tried installing Motorola drivers on my PC, but for some reason it simply doesn't work. I plug the cable into my cellphone but can't get the "USB debug" screen in which allows me to transfer data between my phone and PC.
>>543762405
Is it just "plug and play"? Or you need to do stuff in order to be useful?

>>543762648
That's a shame, the delay on wifi is awful and not even worth using, just get any cheap webcam and try opentrack out.

>>543761306
why waste weight use many wheel, when one wheel do trick?

>>543762648
>Is it just "plug and play"?
It's the least user-friendly camera you'll ever attempt to install.

>>543763192
Yeah. I used the giroscope on my phone before trying to use cam. It was kinda smooth (despite having wifi instabilities) but I needed to somehow fix my phone in my head which sucked.
>>543763315
Can't I just plug it in and open OpenTrack and have fun with my flying games?

>>543763482
>https://github.com/opentrack/opentrack/wiki/PS3-Eye-open-driver-instructions
You have to fuck around with third-party software to get it working correctly, even with OpenTrack's own open-source driver.

>>543764042
So what is the other option then? For a cheap 60fps webcam.

>>543764142
$50 camera is plug and play, $10 camera takes a bit of elbow grease. It was a fair trade but will still complain about it at any opportunity.

>>543765025
Any specific model or camera settings? I don't use USD in my shitass fucked up country.

I'm flying it and I'm not even behind the plane it's going nicely! Gotta fix that VOR issue later, I'll use autopilot with GPS and HDG only for now...

PULL UP

>>543774718
Cruising now, AP is in ALT mode and it was stable for a while but then started fluctuating up/down in vspeed. Weird, I pulled throttle slightly back and it stabilized again.

I'm trying to induce VRS to see if it's in the game, it's either in the 2024 helicopters with the new aerodynamics, or it's just something the dev puts in. This helicopter hasn't had a 2024 update, I haven't experienced vrs yet.

>>543765364
60fps is the most important thing to look for

>>543776706
First landing and I failed because only 1 landing gear extended and I didn't go around. I don't know why, but I have X-Plane set to do random failures (very rarely though), so maybe it was a random failure...

>>543781029
Oh and AP did intercept the ILS localizer course, so I don't know why VOR didn't work earlier today. Yeah and I was going too fast...

>>543776985
No luck in the Bell 407 either, which again may not be properly updated for 2024, unless I'm doing it wrong. Don't you want to bring your airspeed to zero or close to it and then descend into your own downwash?

>>543781239
Otherwise the flight went smoothly, I was able to execute the assigned SID and STAR correctly. There was one thing I didn't understand though: STAR said that after last waypoint ATC will vector me towards the approach, well X-Plane 12 ATC said "descend to 2000 via I15 for ILS approach, RW15", I15 isn't a waypoint and I couldn't find any information about it, so I have no idea what it meant by that, but I just flew towards the ILS by intercepting the localizer and at least the X-Plane ATC didn't mind...

>>543781847
Responding to myself: I can only guess "I15" means the ILS approach for RW15, so it just meant descend towards it, I guess... That's what I assumed at least.

>>543781847
>Helsinki - Kalmar
How long did that flight took?

>>543766223
One of the best looking business jets of all time. The P180 is cool but too goofy with the mustache and the rodent teeth

>>543783039
ESMQ-EFHK, about 1 hour 15mins? I didn't check, usually I keep track of time better but this time I had to pause midway-through because I had sudden errands to run. Could've been faster but I cruised at FL300 which is low I guess so my IAS was like 0.6M only.
>>543783286
I agree it's a beautiful aircraft. And fun to learn and fly.

>>543783039
Oh and those Finnair ATR's fly above me every day. I've listened to their chatter with my SDR running on Raspb 4 on my balcony. Is that screenshot from MSFS? I have to look if there's an ATR 72 for X-Plane...

>>543783776
>1 hour 15mins
Oh yes, jets are faster than propellers

>>543784163
Yes, I bought it in 2020 and works in 2024

>>543781815
I'm not a expect on helicopters, but there might be VRS with the Guimbal Cabri G2. If you descend quickly with no airspeed then it does drop considerably, and it makes a buffeting sound. With the VRS assistance on it still makes a bit of the sound but doesn't drop as much and the torque seems to increase so maybe it's doing something to get you out of it.

I'm not really sure what the result of this testing is, as I'm still not sure whether this is something specific to the new 2024 aerodynamics and airframes, or whether it's just something the dev has to put in. If it's the latter it's strange that they'd add the VRS assistance to the options. I'll have to wait for the Cowansim 2024 update to see whether the 500E will get the ability to enter VRS.

It's interesting parts:
The on board simulator is actually more in depth that I tought, simulating damage to targets, TTG etc.
The PARS which is more gentle than the MSFS/Xplane counterpart.
Opening the airbrake vibrates the airframe so I'll leave that on in the XPRealistic addon

>>543904251
Because it's based

>>543900139
So you think real pilots start worrying about the hangover seven minutes into a flight? Get it together.

>>543904508
how much is an m346 in comparison?

>>543905080
It is quite funny how many airline pilots have been caught sloshed before flying

>>543905181
No idea. Last time I asked for a quote they called the security.

>>543902416
The crew is fine. The aircraft is probably okay. Probably a Cat 3 damage at worst, which means it's fixable.
I've seen the military bring back way worse.

>>543904251
I've been asking this question myself. The Air Tractor itself is $1.5-2 million. Converting it over with the machining and work might be 10-15. Sensors are another 4-5. Spare parts and engines I'd wager would be another million or two per airframe.
So in all I can see $25 million if you throw in a some hookers and champagne for the big wigs. Even at a mark up for error I couldn't see more than $30 million, don't know where the other 20 comes from.

>>543905181
$20million. The Air Tractor was by far the most expensive aircraft in the program.

>>543905635
All the avionics will add up, it has a countermeasures system, missile warning and other stuff.

>>543905635
>$20million. The Air Tractor was by far the most expensive aircraft in the program.
Jokes aside I tought the M-346 and other similar trainers didn't even compete in that since the CIA/FBI wanted a slow mover, cheap to operate aerial support platform that could loiter for long hours.
Costs aside when you remember it's going to be used against favela's kids and other COIN targets it makes sense. Just don't go against the mexican cartel since they have stingers and a couple of javelins IIRC

>>543905635
>Probably a Cat 3 damage at worst
wing is fucked for sure

>>543905846
I kind of figured "converting", "sensors", and "mark up for error" would have covered that.

>>543906295
Sorry, I was confusing the Light Attack/Armed Reconnaissance (LAAR) and Armed Overwatch programs.
The M-346 and Air Tractor competed in LAAR and both lost. L3Harris won the bis for the Armed Overwatch trial.

>>543907813
Yeah looking into it the avionics is millions but not absurd, who knows.

>>543930427
Fingers crossed mate, I went for an interview for an ATC software company months ago but didn't get it. What I've realised though is that even if the application is interesting, it doesn't mean the work is, and similarly something that sounds boring can actually be fun to work on.

>>543930689
I just need a door to get into the security clearance scam.
All these aerospace companies require a security clearance, but the only way to get a clearance outside of the military is to get a job at one of them.

>>543931303
I've had SC twice, many companies ask for active security clearance which I've never understood. Isn't it specific to that company so irrelevant beyond it? I've always assumed it just meant they want someone who can get SC so I just mention I've had it before.

>>543930427

I'm thinking of buying/ pirating a train simulator and a civ plane simulator here are my requirements and questions about both;

I'd like a flight sim that come with a quality terrain and planes as I won't be buying any DLC or 3rd party content.
And I want a game that will still be playable even if the developers die in a horrific plane (simulated) accident

I remember anons on here complaining about how shit Train Sim World was years ago so I'd like to stay away from that.
Also I don't want a game set in the USA, I just tire of all those yankee sissies and I don't want them on my train.

but I'm not a minority

>>543936840
>flight sim that come with a quality terrain and planes as I won't be buying any DLC or 3rd party content.

>And I want a game that will still be playable even if the developers die in a horrific plane (simulated) accident
X Plane, scenery isn't as good, not many planes in the base game, not even that many addons honestly.

>I remember anons on here complaining about how shit Train Sim World was years ago so I'd like to stay away from that.
Also I don't want a game set in the USA, I just tire of all those yankee sissies and I don't want them on my train.
Train Sim World is really your only option, train simulator classic is very old now and has billions of dlcs. Other train simulators are just for yanks. You could play Derail valley for a fictional train sim but that's early access, have a look.

I read something about big drama with razscam

Really newbie question, but F-14 has like thousand adjustable wing surfaces and flaps, so which flaps I use in combat? And how do I adjust their modes, or key bindings in DCS? This plane drives me crazy sometimes

>>543947654
>an Apache and Hornet simulator primarily
Skill issue. There's plenty to do outside of the modern blufor box, especially for helicopter tism.

>>543956547
The big drama was a leaked video call that confirmed razbam was in the right.

>>543961279
Short answer is "don't". NATOPS says not to do it.
Longer answer is "you can use flaps below 225knots" when in automatic sweep mode. They'll jam when the wings retract so start retracting flapsby 220, maybe 215 to stay safe since they don't retract instantly. Historically, Tomcat pilots did use them like that.
Slats are all automatic.
DLC is a whole 'nother thing. I don't know if you can use them in a dogfight when the gear is retracted. I also think the button that controls the DLC turns into the counter measures switch when gear is retracted. I can't quite remember, it's been awhile.
I'd have to break out the NATOPS and look it up. I haven't played the F-14 in years.

>>543962668

>>543965886
Thanks, the fact alone that slats are automatic helps a lot. I didn't find manual switches for most of the functions so I was crashing out. Enjoyable plane but I'm just getting into dogfighting and goddamn if it isn't difficult to master.

>>543973856

I'm trying to do VFR circuits on the Citation X at 2000ft AGL and I'm struggling hard. Fuck. Most of the circuit goes fine, but I'm always turning in too early from the downwind leg so I can't get a decent glideslope.

>>544181463
You want to 1,500ft above the airport altitude for jets, you also want to turn onto base 45 degrees from the threshold.

>>544182250
1500ft sounds tight but I'll try it now. Cheers.

>>544183127
Above the airport altitude mate, not just 1500ft, for pistons and other it's 1000ft above, 1500ft for turboprops though.

>>544183238
Yeah... I'm so bad but I'll try to improve, I'm still missing rudder pedals which sucks. I can land props and turboprops but jets are completely different, it's interesting to me how this thing flares on landing because that's also so different compared to the props in X-Plane.

fuck that makes sense. no idea why i did the opposide it would just lower lift over my wings right?

>>544193220
And this is how I should've done it. Meanwhile with thermals it seems I need a plug in as by default they are only in big clouds

>>544193220
Yeah the side out of the wind is shit you don't want to be there the glider drops like a brick. Notice in this screenshot where the wind is coming from in the variometer below the altimeter, and notice what the rate of ascent is from either of the variometers, other one is below airspeed on the right. Not all gliders will have live wind data but you can just find out the find direction before taking off. Gliding is fucking cool desu, I flew around this area for ages, only stopping because it was becoming IMC.

>>544194216

>>544194357
Pipistrel Taurus M, two seater motor glider that's in 2024 premium deluxe, it's really nice but I was so confused by the ballast I had to ask the Got Friends devs. Turns out for solo flight you want no ballast, which is bizarre, it doesn't work like ballast in a normal glider apparently.

Doing those VFR circuits made me way more confident with this thing. Now I feel better trying to do a successful IFR flight.

>>544206052
I always do circuits in new planes, they're great practice.

>>544195084
Wtf

>>544207547
sorry

>>544208114
Is the toilet modelled? Asking for a friend

>>544208176
ha ha, no, and i tried to see if ATR had toilet but no.

>>544208616
many such cases

Successful evening flight with the Citation X.

This is the STAR I followed, managed to adhere to all restrictions too.

>>544218018
God damnit descend via STAR and ILS approach went pretty decently but upon touchdown I pressed thrust reverser keybind but it didn't register and then went full throttle and immediately noticed mistake and reversers again and full throttle but it was kinda late and ugly but I'm alive....

any recs for a combat helicopter game?
i finally got a joystick and throttle for orbiter, now i want to shoot tanks

>>544239097
DCS is the only one, really. Wait a month or so for the next sale.
If you want the guided missile tankbusting experience, go Apache, Hind, Black Shark, Kiowa, or Gazelle. Hip and Huey are good teachers and cult favorites, free Loach and Blackhawk mods are versatile and worth downloading.
For non-sim or sim-adjacent, Hijong Park's Defender Patrol, MH-Zombie, Helicopter Gunship Dex, the not-Apache and not-Blackhawk in Nuclear Option, *rma or Reforger for transport and logi with live human cargo.

>>544239962
thanks
i used to play an old dcs as a kid and it was fun but i had no idea what i was doing
i'm assuming you mean black friday on steam?
kinda want to get *rma for the memes anyways, might finally try it out

>>544240874
I'd say get the Huey first, then Kiowa, then Apache in that order. Russian helis are an acquired taste, with an absolute dumpster fire of cockpit organization, and unintuitive system implementation.

>>544254598
well i haven't flown a real helicopter so i am starting from a blank slate, i probably wont mind the soviet cockpits

i will start with the huey tho; i have always liked large and cumbersome aircraft

>>544210290
>>544210957
>>544210516
nice

>>544254598
Redfor rotors have more sovl.
It's also easier to launch Vikhrs in the Ka-50 than Hellfires in the AH-64.
OH-6A is probably the best "trainer" in the sim (and free), but Huey is a close second. Bare bones, no systems, no assists, just you and the control linkages.
Mi-8 would be the Russian equivalent, but power management is a bit trickier, visibility is worse, and you'll develop a habit of always wanting to land helicopters straight-in like a fixed-wing aircraft.
The Hip is my favorite thing to fly in DCS, it's a big awkward 250kph-cruise battle bus and making it dance is a joy.

>>544240874
November used to be their "Autumn Sale" but we'll have to see what they call it this year. Never let FOMO drive a purchase in DCS, even if it's a key part of ED's business model.
Their standalone sales through the website usually last a few days longer than on Steam. Standalone also lets you trial most modules for two weeks and gives you 10% back in store credits.
Steam will give you refunds when ED tells you to pound sand, though. You can also buy on Steam (with regional pricing) and transfer to standalone, but not the other way around. Pros and cons to each.

Is there a list of all the best milsims and tactical fps?

Ugra probably recycled a lot of assets from CWG.

>>544296864
You can cruise at 50,000ft in the Citation X which is fun

>>544296934
Yeah, but I'm doing ~1 hour flights and the FMS won't let me set a cruise above 300-400 on short routes, "unable to crz alt", which I guess is expected.

>>544280941
This, let the sale prices come, but a module or two to fly while you wait for the next sale. I think I've only bought a few aircraft at full price, the sale price is the "real" price.
Definitely get the Syria map right away though.

The performance in the latest SU4 beta build is worse unfortunately, they've made the lagging camera panning worse.

>>544291068
I wonder if we'll get a WW2 version of included in CWG like how we got a WW2 Marijuanas map.

>>544296864
Landed at murmansk. I'm still bad at keeping it at centerline and I'm still going too fast...

>>544298821
Fucks sake

>>544299429
I like this plane but I don't understand why it tips over so easily.

>>544303247
Narrow landing gear, high motor, high wing, no refunds.

just empty space behind that door

>>544308186
Shit plane 0/10, avionics be damned I want my toilets

>>544303247
Not familiar with that, but are you using the tip tanks first before the rest?

>>544308417
Old school trains with just an open hole under the toilet were the best, never glogged or had any other problems

>>544308417
The P180 in MSFS has a modeled shitter together with magazines for reading.

>>544308656
That's a good idea but it doesn't seem to make a difference, there are auxiliary tanks which I presume are tip/outside wing, but even at 100% it still does it. This is with a 12kts crosswind runway at 90 win at 120 ish. Now admittedly in a crosswind you would use some aileron, but surely the plane tipping over from it is madness. I'm going to ask the dev as he seems to be active, it could be I'm doing something wrong.

>>544309982
>but surely the plane tipping over from it is madness
It could be just the crosswind not being countered enough by your ailerons mixed with MSFS exagerating a lot effect wind has on your aircraft. In both DCS and Xplane I find myself not having to correct that much, meanwhile in MSFS it's like you're a leaf in the wind.

>>544311740
I've never experienced anything like this in any plane, using the ailerons to counter the wind to keep it on the centreline yes, to stop it from tipping over? No. It could be because it's a 2020 plane that hasn't been updated for 24, and something weird is going on.

>>544312029
Unless it's a weight issue, I was flying with one pilot with barely any cargo, I suppose if the centre of mass was really high it could tip over, but that still doesn't sound right.

>>544308973
>open hole under the toilet
India Rail didn't phase these out til 2021, but even US passenger carriers like Amtrak used them til the mid-1980s.
Still common on rolling stock worldwide.

kinda seems like a propfan frogfoot, ~700kph top speed feels fast

2+2 or 3+3

It was doing 750kph while draggy, maybe does 800 with a clean

I think the autumn sale is over. A bunch of stuff went on sale a few weeks ago and I bought a few maps and the F-16 for 50% off

>>544325856
They have seasonal sales and random bullshit holiday sales, just mix up the dates and titles a bit.
Last year's September sale was "Planes, Trains, & Automobiles" with the autumn sale starting in November.
Black Friday almost always has at least a few things discounted.

EGKK

>>544319558
Well I guess if it's just going to explode all over the place every time, its better to have a hole on the ground with a hose instead of a fancy flush toilet that you have to nail with pinpoint accuracy.
