and I bitched about $165/hr for a G1000 C172

125 is the ticket, N is a good series.

>tfw no private military jet fighter mod
>tfw no motivation to learn lua to make such mod
help me /simg/, tell me why should i invest 2 to 20 hours of learning time and make something that would actually make dcs fun?

Also, where is that guy who was making the mi8 wood hauling mission?

anyone know where I can grab the WW2 mods for strike fighters without jumping thrugh all the damn hoops?

I've wanted that ever since I read Mercs and Planes and played Strike Fighters 2, would be damn good

Yeah it's rather an impediment. I'm fixed wing, not helo, but even that's more than doubled in the last ten years. There's a 20% discount for you because this is dollarydoos, but even so.

I keep asking this question but I want to see if someone else might have an answer.
Why won't LST mode in the harrier lock onto lasers anymore? It just does the same thing as the regular DMT from what I can tell.
Nothing in the manual or the reference mentions anything about this behavior. It still claims it should lock onto a laser if the crosshairs of the LST are pointed at a painted target. Yet, it doesn't anymore.

This reminds me, the Super Hornet is pretty much an entirely new aircraft, the Navy kept F/A-18 in the name to make it an easier sell to congress.

God damn, the YF-23 really does look like something out of Ace Combat

Different reality.

When will 777 fix the German AI? The ai just turn fights, which gives the Russians a huge advantage because that is how they were designed to fight, but the Germans get massacred because they refuse to fight in the vertical.

So with 2.5 is GPU the main factor now? I have a good CPU but my GPU is fucking ancient, I'm getting a fucking third of the frame rate I had in 1.5

Yep, the engine is now somewhat in line with every game made in the last decade.

I hate miners so fucking much

i fail to see the problem

Yea this shit ruins career mode, although you can somewhat help it once you get promoted and start being assigned as flight lead or even when you get to unit commander, I would tell the ai to do what I do and climb to a respectable alt and then tell them to engage the enemy and they do a pretty good job but it quickly devolves in to turn fighting again as they never retain their energy advantage, its getting pretty tiresome, Im at the point in the career where my flight of 4-6 109s are regularly going up against 12-15+ enemy aircraft and if we do not have the alt advantage and fly to the 109's strengths then my whole flight is dead.

I'm enjoying the new IL2 series but the lack of smoke from crashed aircraft and destroyed objects really kills it I think.

Welcome to /simg/

So is DCS playable yet or should I stick with BMS?

>DCS
>less playable than BMS ever
If you can get BMS going successfully you can get DCS going successfully.

All aboard!

Comfy

hello fellow sims

ded as ever

/simg/ died because the military air simulators pushed everything else out. Train simulators and other vehicle simulators have a large following, why doesn't anyone talk about them here? Because if you aren't talking about DCS you just get ignored

If they have a large following, why don’t they talk to each other? Air sims are dead quiet. Sorry you train simmers are even more dead that the whole thread does before you reply to one another

You guys should check out SAM simulator, it's actually not nearly as hard as it looks.

l-lonely, quiet, cold as in death

Give up.

Does it support VR?

Boi, it don't support fuckin 1080p, have you seen the website for it?

Attached: CYZZLZKUMAAJwO3.jpg-large.jpg (639x658, 44K)

It doesn't even have 3d graphics, lol
>it's great

Pushing buttons and adjusting knobs in a virtual SAM would be a good use of VR. Shame

I used to talk about train sims and tried to learn how to play flightsims properly but got shitted on by the whole thread so i just gave up. I only come here to see if there are any big updates.

That's a shame, I love talking about complicated procedures, but I guess /simg/ doesn't.

These discussions were my favorite. Proper navigation was interesting.
