/simg/ - Simulation Games General

They're add MLP/FIM variants also in a couple years

They do its like a preselection of tanks and aircraft. I wish they would bring the old sim back though I did not get to play that way much because I did not have a joystick

I know, but they only run it like once a week don't they?

No it is all the time the lineup just changes from time to time

Main things holding back the DCS experience:

Shitty explosion effects - this is either slacking or bad taste

Shitty gun/bomb/rocket release sounds and shitty cockpit noise sounds - this is caused by amateur sound engineers thinking what the microphone records = what the human ear hears. Only way to get close to authentic sounds is to sculpt the sound subjectively i.e. add a bunch of bass to simulate the warthog cannon vibrating below your ass

The shitty sounds are easily fixed with soundmods- most of diveplanes stuff is good, and the genuine huey sounds mod is ABAP

idk why they would do high quality flight models and artwork on the planes then fuck up the sound so badly

do they just not hire actual sound designers?

Probably not. They very consistently fuck up sound.

The face of a man who knows EXACTLY how many G's he's about to pull.

>/hgg/

5 MiG-21 vs 2 F-5 given they are 20nm away from each other.

A-6 Intruder, A-7 Corsair, TU-22M, subs/ships/vehicles with controllable/clickable interiors

>subs/ships/vehicles with controllable/clickable interiors

wait fucking what

21s win that easily, the F-5 is very good one on one but in a furball the MiG will win until the aim-9p is fixed.

Wonder why people don't put the c&f pods on their 21s

Also at that range the 21s can use their radar guided missiles

The R3R is probably one of the MiGs least threatening weapons from the F-5s point of view. The all the Tiger has to do is break when he gets a launch warning, R3R can't turn for shit.

True. Well MIGs were meant to intercept bombers and the likes

>Tfw if we do simg 2v2s Id feel like I'm too shit
>tfw who I want to wingman with won't want to wingman with me

>play
>git gudder

>don't play
>don't git gudder

I believe in you, user

I'll play with you and we can be shit together

Maybe we'll get a wooden spoon prize

Simg 2v2 3rd gen + trainers tournament when?

Why don't we do some how-to-not-be-shit dogfight trainan sometime before a tournament thing?

BoS has nice sound fx

BoS is really pretty and has fantastic damage models too

Because the devs give a damn about polish, when they don't you get shit like dcs.

Because the devs give a shit about polish.

>ywn have DCS fidelity planes with systems and FMs that work, BoS tier damage models, sounds and pretty explosions, BMS tier dynamic campaign and an F-4 module

Never ever

Modern flight sim developed by western team when?

+1 for this

Comfy mi-8 blueflag SAM drop ops

What have you done for REDFOR today, simg?

Yes. It was shit at first but now it's worth it. They're adding DX11 soon too. Goes on sale 50 percent fairly often

This is one of the few games I would probably have fun doing "taxi" stuff in, at least multiplayer. Since you're actually making a difference in the larger battle

Anyone up to flying Blueflag ops?

Does the server still crash every other hour?

No idea. I crashed just after dropping the SAM at however that was only on my end

what if everytime your game crashed you had a powerful orgasm

I'd have ruined my trousers several times over just trying to join a server.

also I would like to have some let's get not shit at air combat ops

I would fly Hawk a lot more often

Will they ever add a full on immersive Korean war mode? Imagine the huge ass battles with all the tank rushes and infantry. That would be awesome to strafe from the air in multiplayer

Anyone have good nvidia control settings for DCS 2.0?

If anyone wants to practice their 3rd gen dogfightan skills come in ts & I'll fly with ya.

I would but I'm away from home for a couple of days so no ops for me :^(

So whatever happened to that new TS?

kek, greg btfo is what happened

F-5 gunsight user from last thread here - sorry, fell asleep

If I'm understanding this correctly, what you're supposed to do is aim the pipper yourself so that in the time it takes for your shells to hit the target after being fired, the target would've flown to the position your pipper is currently pointed at when you originally fired them.

Honestly it just seems like an overly complicated explaination of Kentucky windage but I may be missing something.

Is it true that the mig21 radar is broken right now?

Mig-21 radar is always broken

Is it more broken than it usually is right now?

I think so, i couldn't find targets that were straight ahead of me

>Honestly it just seems like an overly complicated explaination of Kentucky windage but I may be missing something.
yup

If you want a radar assisted solution in the F-5 atm;
>turn the gunsight to A/A2
>press the radar acquisition button
>this puts the radar in a type of boresight mode
>fly behind a bandit at close range, puting him in the centre of the sight glass
>the symbology should change and the pipper float around
>a dash at the 1 o clock position on the pipper means you're in range
>a dot at the 12 o clock position means you're too close, break off
>if he's flying roughly constant speed and constant G then this will give a good guns solution

Depends on who you ask, we weren't sure last night,

If you were going against F-5s, then maybe it was because those are tiny, if compared to say, a bomber or a meatier fighter aircraft (F-15s and whatnot)

I didn't have much trouble acquiring a B-52 at 30km or so distance whilst being vectored by AI GCI.

Pretty much this.
Not sure if just due to it's WIP nature and the size but I rarely see F5s on the MIGs radar.

...

>still now bms ops
Fuck you dcs shitters who just want to play with their babby fc3 shit planes.
You are what is killing this general.

>FBW, modern point 'n' click shit

no thanks, DCS is the only one with full fidelity 3rd gen planes. The best gen.

Only person who knew how to host BMS ops was BMShost, and he's away

If you want BMS ops, host them yourself, I'm fairly confident that quite a lot of people will partake in them.

wszyscy Polacy powinni być zagazowani

I had no idea it would be so easy to off an F-117, the AI didn't even try to maneuver even after I saw him and sidled up behind him

What speed should I be at in a Mig21 if I want to maximize my turning rate?

Did you manage to pick it on radar?

I can host BMS ops.
Seriously
I can teach anyone here how to host bms ops.

Its best turning speed

It's mostly an issue of upload bandwidth

BMS has a ridiculous need for speed, otherwise I'd set up a permanent server

>tfw all simg wants to do rn is pvp eachother in Migs and F-5s
>I just want to do some comfy ass 2nd and 3rd gen ops against a shit ton of AI and stuff and just work together

Feels bad.

This is the round table, dead men's words have no meaning here

t. Raptor

>A-7 Corsair
FUCKING YES

Is multiplayer still fun with just an Su-25t?

Maybe

t. shit ass pilot who gets btfo'd every time and would rather gang up on retarded AI.

I think almost all ops should have playable enemy aircraft.
Missions feel so much more real when there are human pilots on the other side.

Only BMS has good enough AI

>behind F5
>he doesn't know I'm there
>super sneaky, don't have any missiles
>suddenly 9 second freeze
>I'm dead

fuck this game

>retarded AI.
Enemy dogfight AI is okay, certainly a threat. Even the famous MiG-21bis ace Tony 'Mach-1 meme-gun' Kito is easier to beat than an Excellent MiG-21 AI in an F-5.

now someone post THIS video on reddit

We already did.
They weren't too fond of it.

Attention all planefags

Me and another planefag are going to fly choppers in Blueflag to drop some more SAMs around and whatnot to support the redfor effort like in and If you feel like flying some minor DCS blue flag ops, be on the TS in about 40 mins (18:00 UTC) or so, maybe a bit more. GCI and CAS could go a long way.

I have 2 extreme 3D Pros now
What doo

Oh yeah forgot to mention

We'll be using simpleradio once we start operating.

Fly two MiGs at once for maximum slav

THANK YOU ARTEM MIKOYAN

What a MiG 29 and SU 27 at the same time?

Two MiG 21s

Ops when?

Kill f5s twice as fast

...

Gib max_client_sub perms on TS and I will stroke your pearly bottom with the blades of my KA50
