/simg/ Simulation Games General

>tfw you have every plane including ww2 shit

Guy who likes planes and wants to play DCS here

How much single player content does the game have and and how good?
Which module is the easiest to learn without being babby shit?
Which module is the best in multiplayer without being OP?
How populated and active is the multiplayer?
Are hotas and trackir really truly necessary?
How demanding is the game in terms of hardware?
How much can it be modded?

What did Andrey mean by this?

Oh yeah, didn't got the trainers either. Did you ?
You know i'm gonna post that JUST because you bitch about it, right ?

>aryans still crying over the spitfire

>single player and how good
That depends how much you want to get into the mission maker. DCS is a sandbox so as long as you are autistic enough to make different missions you will always have content.
>Easiest non-baby
Probably the F-5E or at least it's a fantastic place to start.
>Best multiplayer
The Mirage, it's the most competitive full-fidelity module at the moment. Though you can do some great things with the MiG-21 if you get good.
>Population and activity
It's populated enough but fairly ded, apart from weekends you'll rarely find more than 30 people in a server at once. Best to find a group to fly with.
>Hotas and tracking
No, not at all. Some of the best fighters in /simg/ only have a basic stick. Hotas and all that just make your life easier, being able to spot with trackir especially.
>Hardware
It's nothing crazy but you will need a very good pc if you want butter smooth high frames
>Mods
There are a lot of mods that do great things but a lot aren't shared publicly and ED has broken a lot of them on recent patches. Assuming they go back on this, yes the game can be modded to a decent level

I honestly forgot about the trainers. Guess I should pick them up to be maximum cashcow.

>you will never fly it
>you will NEVER fly it

nice

What's up with the spit?

Stop saying such hurtful things

Germans are mad that they have to fight a plane that can counter most of the tactics the current Axis team use.

tsk tsk

Already ded

leave /simg/ to me

So are you saying there is infact bong bias?

fucking why

Gotta have a bit of diversity m8
Don't be racist to gifs

pardon
Forgot to give you your (you)

test

No, I'm blue
The first wave of counterattacks begin on the western sectors in participation of the 55th Airborne brigade & 17th ID against encircled soviet tanks, swarms of paratroopers and infantry assault entrenched tanks with RPGs and small arms
They have 3 strategy games and two tank sims, the pastebins on OP will help ya, this is GT:operation star with shield of the prophet DLC, I like GTOS the most because of the cold war DLC's since I'm not really much of a WW2bab.
Cold war is fun as fuck lad. I'm grinding my teeth waiting for new SABOW/cold war content but the devs switched focus to WW2

...

BMS is the best everything except graphics.

The Spitfire is the best fighter ever.

>pull negative Gs and dive away
>watch the Spitfire choke

>It's a version produced after 1940
>It follows you and blows you out the sky

Tank Warfare Tunisia brit DLC is out lads

...

BAGUETTE OR SJVIGGEN?

What is the Bendix Stromberg Injection carburettor?

Do you want A2A or sanic as fuck A2G

I already have the A10C for A2G, so i wanted a full fidelity fighter for a change. What can i drop with the mirage for A2G, only Paveways? What can i drop with the VIGGEN?

With the 92nd lined up and in place, the counteroffensive is in full force

A scene from the last fight surrounding Shah Baluch village, the Afghans managed to take out a T-62 before surrendering.

The A10 and the Viggen are two very different kinds of A2G

The 92nd made their first contact with the enemy and the results are overwhelmingly positive, the M60A1 combined with the Chieftain are proving to to be extremely superior throughout the battle

Funny because it was the complete opposite in the Iran-Iraq war against Iraqis using older versions of T-62s or Chinese copies.

Those who played the Russian mission(s) how was it? Any good?

maybe everyone is playing and that's why the thread is dead

It's no fun playing them alone. They are designed to be played in coop by one or separate small groups. Mission zones are protected by scripts so you can't just take f-15 and go rampage on vietnam era mission.

is the gazelle flight model really that bad?

what kinda ded ass general is this

F-104 when?
>caring about missiles and dogfighting (implying the plane can do anything other than flying fast and straight) when you can just fly at the enemy at Mach five billion and cut his plane in half with the razor sharp leading edges of your wings

On a serious note though, which Century Series jet would you want in DCS?

The 92nd AD's counterattack is in full effect, the Soviets are caught completely off-guard.
The 16th AD ceased as an effective fighting force after only a day of fierce defensive operations against the Soviets, their few remaining Chieftains retire from the battlefield.

...

It seems to get more broken each update and no one appears to be fixing it.

>make module see that you are over your head. Quickly split your company up so you dont have to fix it.

we're never even gonna see that sniper team

10

ded

...

They should have asked Wags what the cutoff is for possible russian modules. Like is early 4th gen off limits? What about MiG-23 and 25?

Is there a reason why 1.5 keeps dying when i save my control settings? How the fuck is ed still not bankrupt ffs

>ywn fly this or any of the planes portrayed in /simg/ games

Change one control at a time, for some reason it crashes in a black screen if you change too many

>Sniper team
MEME LOADOUT

It's a lot of fun. The more people you have playing the better tho.

That today he's going to kill himself because he got sick working in ED

link?

How did he not get banned

holy shit so many units

what blen is that?

also, can someone tell me what the arrow display thing on amerigan planes next to the hud is?

This.

Su-25(A) from FC3

>Shit at hosting
>Shit at not crashing
>On-Rails
>IVC breaking every 10 mins
>AIM-120 getting 60KM kills
Yeah right

I never played BMS but how it is "On-Rails" ?

No stalls nor Over-Gs

Also known as "fly by wire".

F-16 was first FBW plane, right?

Fighter*

Wtf, we need real betty, not dcs tier shit

wtf I hate DCS now

>reserved
this shit is cancer

It's probably anything that isn't before the MiG-23, now that we know belsimtek isn't making one it probably wasn't cancelled because one of the devs had it reserved.

Flanker is so beautiful.

youtu.be/g9-gPXmDXCM?t=389
Su-27SM betty, it's so good

What does this counter do?

How the fuck do I know how far away a guy is in the Su-27 radar

Counts how many capitalist pigs you killed
