/simg/ - Simulation Games General

So, does any variant of the T-72 modeled in Steel Beasts have a gunsight with magnification worth a fuck?

Engaging targets at range is a crapshoot with the like... 6x? magnification the optic gives you

How much would you pay for your dream DCS module to be made with perfection?

What would it be?

Why?

Thread is exceptionally dead today.

>In 1982, one of the MiG-25PDS (reg. #7011) was fitted with ECM equipment to provide individual and collective protection from enemy radar- and IR-homing air-to-air and air-to ground missiles. The equipment comprised the Beryoza-LE radar warning receiver (RWR), Geranium ECM system and KDS-155 flare dispenser. The flight testing was completed in 1983. Later, another aircraft was converted for the same purpose. It was designated MiG-25PDSL (reg. #94). It was equipped with the Beryoza-LM RWR, Gardenia-1FU active ECM system mounted in the external pod, as well as chaff and flare dispenser. Its flight testing commenced in 1985.

MY DICK

>2 aircarft of super sekrit edition.

For plons, either Phantom or MiG-25
For choppers, Apache
For other, a T-72B

I'd pay like maybe double normal module price for any of those if they were done well.

Also I'd pay mucho pesos for some WWII armor. Like, at least one allied and one axis vehicle, a Sherman and a long-barrel panzer IV or some such

Damn right

what the fuck /simg/?

Ditto on Phantom. I'd pay $100 for a pack with an early Vietnam variant where it still didn't have a gun, a later contemporary to the -21bis, and the F-4G. Wild Weasel is not optional.

MiG-23 (of any kind, really, but preferably one of the easier models to get ahold of obviously) would be neat as well, I just really like variable geometry wings and it's a shame that Leatherneck is going to find a way to break the only module that'll feature them.

Finally, F-16A. I know the chances of getting any kind of Falcon are low, but it'd be nice to have an early variant for a change of pace from BMS ops.

gee, I wonder if there's a certain couple of generations that I like..

post your favorite cockpits

ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING

...

>NEVER EVER

it hurts.

also is that the throttle that looks like a prostate massager there? Swedes, I swear to God.

I just feel at home.

I like the MiG-21.

Sauce for this video?

It's not my favorite fighter in a general standing but man do I like the P-51C's cockpit.

Pretty cool, thanks

/simg/ play list fag here

If you have any good aviation or military related songs that are good, add them to here.

youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLGfGalIdY7DatF5tBP4hSBMgXMlualFd&jct=MhW_d8KbpGe5JZ0AJPPwF1k9WnCAxw

Post and share your dank songs.

No fuck you. Every time you make one of these, you just delete everyone's contributions but your own.

Eat my ass. Go away.

??????????

I've only deleted one video and it was because it was some literal gay porn

but you can stay mad lmfao

btw the only reason it shows every song as added by me is because someone deleted everything in the playlist, so I had to make a new one with the backup I had.

...

When did they implement the new improved mig-29 model? No one told me about this.
Any word on the flight model?

Its absolute sex.

I like just flying around and just drooling over how good it looks.

The thing I am most unironically hype for is the model update for the S, and the PFM for all of them.

I don't care that its going to stay FC3 forever, the PFM will make it even more my favorite plane.

Then what happened to the other 3 of these we've been through, shitass?

1: Not sure why you are so fucking triggered right now holy shit
2: Like I said, people fucked with them, so I've made new ones using my back up.

The current one is the one with the most songs before its been fucked with, so you can just relax my dude.

I'm triggered because it's full of ACE COMBAT MUSIC

>toggle IFF

What? Don't all Flaming Cliffs planes have IFF always on?

I think he means his radar.

Reminder that FC3 babbies have literally no idea what they're doing behind the stick.

EOS = IRST
Doesn't tell you friend or foe so you have to toggle the radar on to id

...

Wait no my bad I didn't register 'eos' as IRST, I thought it was the name of some random shitter.

Yeah I guess you could call your radar IFF in that context

No bullying allowed here

>deep down the mighty mig is just a pathetic tube

It's pretty much just a big engine with some stubby wings and control surfaces slapped on.

It's like a fighter that an ork would build. I love it.

So dead what the fuck

BMS is actually fun once you learn how to bind shit and get good. Nothing is more exhilarating then having a squadron of MiG-29's show up on your RWR because you shot down a few 23's.

DCS dynamic campaign when.

>bandits to our 30 about 20m out

>It's pretty much just a big engine with some stubby wings and control surfaces slapped on.
I recognize that design philosophy, the P-47 was quite literally built around the P&W R2800 and the accompanying ducting for the rear mounted turbo-supercharger.

Behold the beast. There is supposed to also be some squared ducting running all the way along the bottom, which was responsible for it's egg shaped front profile.

I can't speak for other comrades of glorious thread, but for me it is that I'm always less active during the work week.

Flying plens is actually quite tiring for me, and after a whole weekend of doing it I tend towards taking a little break.

...

ded thred

nah that's realism

memes aside soviet tanks were objectively shit in basically every way compared to nato armor

I've started fucking around with BMS a bit, and I've gotten to the point where I can get an F-16 into the air without most of my navigation instruments completely fucked up or missing for some undiscovered reason. How is it dealing with the weapon systems?

A2A is relatively simple

A2G is a little bit trickier

I suggest starting on A2G because it's a lot more forgiving. Also consider watching supanova's tutorials on BMS, they're on the planefag pastebin.

I've just been out for 6 weeks while most of my squad's been busy with work shit. I've been spending a lot of time dealing with getting my shit together and prepped for grad school, so haven't had much time either.

As of this past weekend my squad's lead is back and we're slowly working on getting the gang back together again, got on and did some weapons-cold 2v2 dogfight trainan against another group wrapping up a couple minutes ago. I flew like hot dog shit due to being sleep deprived and a bit drunk, but would've gotten a kill or two at least it looked like. Fucking Osas on the Basis server kept ruining it for us, though. We were supposed to be calling out when we saw smoke plumes coming from the ground, but it's hard to keep track of that shit during a dogfight obviously.

The P-47 is my favorite WW2 fighter, so I guess it makes a lot of sense that I dig the mig.

Okay, thanks. Getting the plane set up properly eluded me until I watched a tutorial, read the manual, and tried and failed a few times. Just wanted an idea of how deep the rabbit hole goes.

The F-16 is extremely straightforward compared to everything else when it comes to starting the plane up.

Same goes for the weapons and other systems. Being a multirole aircraft, the pilot wouldn't really have time for doing in depth shit like, say, setting up a weapon profile in the A-10C, so the way setting up weapons go is as straightforward as it can be to minimize pilot work when he's actually doing multirole shit, like throwing some bombs and then turning to face a fighter threat.

NO ONE PLANE SHOULD HAVE ALL THAT SPEED

MACH'S TICKING I JUST COUNT THE HOURS

It was mostly getting the electronics set up right that got the better of me, since the only full fidelity plane I've flown before is the TF-51 in DCS. It was pretty fun to learn it, though, so I'm gonna keep at it.

...

Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
To go faster than you ever wanted
Would you capture it or just let it stall?

Yo

His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vodka on his spacesuit already, Stolnaya and Cherry

He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready to go mach

But he keeps on forgetting what he wrote down,
The whole Party goes so loud
He opens his throttle, but the thrust won't come out
It's choking how, Nato's joking now!
The clock's run out, time's up over, bloah!

Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity
Oh, there goes Tactilly, he choked
He's so fast, but he won't give up that easy, no
He won't have it, he knows his whole Parties back's to these ropes

It don't matter, he's fast
He knows that but he's splashed
He's so stagnant, he knows
When he goes back to his Babushka, that's when it's
Back to the Yak again, yo
This whole rhapsody
He better go capture that mach number and hope it don't pass him

You better lose yourself in the mach, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go (go)
You only get one shot, do not let your engines blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime (yo)

hi

>trying to fight in the T-72 with electrical power to the turret knocked out

never tapped the arrow keys so frantically in my life

too bad the documentation for emergency procedures in the T-72 is shit. I can't find the exact elevation required for the autoloader to work, so I just kind of have to put it about where it looks right and hope it works.

/SIMG/ SONG/RAP FUCKING WHEN????????

>never flew over USSR because Foxbats
>never flew close to the USSR once the Foxhound showed up
nice bait 5/10

You're the one thats baiting my dude.

The SR-71 did not do overflights of the Soviet Union. You might be thinking of the U-2?

>harmtard

Oh them? Yeah, I know them.

It's going to take a while... it happened a few threads ago... Did you know there are three kinds of planefag? Those who post planes, those who live for ops, and those who can shitpost an entire thread. Those are the three. And them? They were a virtual squadron called /Дa бoйз/, who flew in blueflag. These planefags were never bodied. *ops ops ops ops* Those are the planefags we seek. It was a cold and snowy day...

>craigu

Please find me one piece of evidence showing the SR71 flew over Soviet territory.

I'll wait.

By the way, they had spy satellites by this time, so good luck justifying the US risking WW3 just to wave their dicks.

...

It's a fun plane to fly. It's even better to fly with friends

Listen out for BMS ops announcements in the thread. We're happy to help those new to the jet to get up and running.

Also 24/7 BMS server soon, fellow piltos

"Oh them? Yeah, I know them. It's going to take a while... it happened a few threads ago... Did you know there are three kinds of planefag?

"There ops taking place over the airspace of blueflag"
"Who did they send us?"
"Da Boiz, we cannot allow blu to cap this airfield"
"I figured you'd say that, get in TS for ops"
"This is Chopper dave with Mi-8MTVs, I'll support you in any way I can"
"If you get shot down, respawn and fly SEAD"
"Roger that!"
"Blueflag was shrouded in mistery, everybody is a hero and a shitter, and no one knows who's the migger, and who's the flanker, or F-15C"
"Blu fags approaching, remove them to secure air superiority"
"They gotta nerf those 120s"
"It's time to fox some 27ERs"
"These are godsplane fighters, stay sharp"
"Godsplane, nothing special, ET takes care of things"
"There are no rules to air to air fights, you just have to take the enemy out"
"The fight is not ended until one side is completely capped"
"Why don't you accept it kid, this is war"
"R-27ERs?"
"Fire away coward!"
"DAVAAAY"

"We will survive, /Дa бoйз/"

Never said it did.
But if you think the foxbat is the reason why SR-71 never overflew Soviet territory then your incorrect. His statment about the foxhound is also incorrect but I wont entertain the shitposting slav circle jerk.

Well, we can close the book on that.
Fucking kill me.

Save us from the teamspeak hell

Sounds like fun. I might try to join one once I get a bit more of the basics figured out.

I don't know what you were expecting.

I'm just glad we're getting new flight models.
