>>136526953
I haven't flown with /simg/ yet, at least not since the /fsg/ days but what did Kerri get banned for? Other than just being a cancerous and toxic person in general or was that exactly why?
>>136531184Kerriisn't actually banned afaik,Ivanjust goes on about how he gon' ban his ass if he shows up.Personally not I'm of the mind that banning anyone is a good idea, and that Ivan isn't the king of /simg/.
>>136531458
>>136531184
Not banned (never have been), just haven't played in months.
I guess that furfag is still asshurt he got something wrong in the thread about 9 months ago and couldn't let go. I don't even remember what, it's been that long.

BMS ops WHEN
>>136532778
When you host them. Whinging doesn't get you what you want, you have to take charge.
>AWACS and it's escort flight both have looped waypoints
>Upon reaching the second waypoint in the loop, the initial time, the 'RTB on Bingo Fuel' option is activated, meaning they should continue to circle until they run low on fuel and then land
>They circle until low on fuel, break course and head towards the carrier group
>They then circle around the rear of the carrier group as if waiting for landing clearance (implying ATC in DCS works) before they run out of fuel and eject
What am I missing
>>136533154
I presume they have a landing waypoint?
I've never messed with carriers & AI together before.
>>136533154
If the Carrier is USAF Aggressor & they're US maybe it doesn't work.
>>136533459
Might be it, although they're allied and they seem to know to return to the carrier group to land, unless the carrier group is just not responding to their requests which is why they continually circle.
I'll try in a second once I've got this ambush set up.

It might have something to do with posting trap porn in the teamspeak for hours.
>>136533668
>>136533459
Still no luck, they do the same thing. Reach their bingo threshold, then return to the carrier and just circle it.
I could give them manual waypoints to RTB after a certain time but it would be nice if the AI was actually usable.
>>136535453
Do they actually have a landing waypoint?
works fine for me
>>136535643
I sorted it, must have done something wrong accidentally because I deleted the waypoints and did them exactly as I remember setting them up and now it's working.
Reminder that the volume of BRRT the L-39ZA contains far outstrips even the A-10, though it's basically restricted to soft targets.
>>136536784
Just mod GUV gunpods on there.
>>136536784
Still nothing compared to GUV's fps killer.
Would you play a new flight sim with a focus on cold war jets with both Vietnam, Fulda Gap scenario, and a dynamic campaign, but with only IL-2 BOS level of systems modeling.
>>136538601
So... Strike Fighters 2?
>>136538665
Let's pretend it supported multiplayer too. I'm curious if there's a market for that kind of thing, especially when DCS exists and will in theory have that content in 20 years but with higher fidelity.
>>136538601
Why not, but I'd rather have that kind of stuff in DCS.
>>136538665
>IL-2 BOS level of systems modeling.
>>136538779
>I'm curious if there's a market for that kind of thing
There's market for everything as long as it's F2P with plebthunder's business model. I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole but at least it'd be a better gateway into contemporary combat flight sims than console trash.
>>136538601
I'd probably play it, but my full autism cravings have to be satisfied from time to time.
If they would then proceed to model planes thourougly it would be cool. Lets not forget DCS basically startet out with FC3, too.
>>136538601
I'd probably look into it but DCS has spoiled me and I wouldn't feel satisfied unless it was thoroughly modelled.
>>136538665
Everytime I hear strike fighters I have to think of this and chuckle.

DCS never started with fc3 planes, dcs first started with the ka-50 module and then the A-10c. not babby cliffs. FC3 was added later as a module.
>>136544264
This is some damn weak b8. Or maybe you're just not old enough to remember DCSs heritage, idk.
>>136544264
It's okay to be demonstrably wrong as long as you fully believe in it.

>>136544686
I have been known to take them.
Also, how do I make it so I can actually communicate with naval units in the UH-1H with the editor?

DCS existed long before that as DCS ka-50.
>>136545974
Where you find that puke camo?
>>136546018
I think you're the only one talking about FC2 lad, LOMAC was 2003, and Su-27 Flanker was 1995.
>>136546214
Yea and those were all separate simulations until 2010. The DCS Series was started with the ka-50.
>>136546437
You're arguing a retarded semantical difference between what separates DCS, especially DCS in its original form, which was not the platform it is today, from LOMAC and its Flaming Cliffs expansion.
Every other anon in this thread is telling you that there was very little technical difference between Flaming Cliffs and OG DCS, and DCS was mainly the rebranding of the series, starting with the Ka-50. They had so much in common that you could play multiplayer Flaming Cliffs with player flown Ka-50s in the same mission despite being "separate" games.
The original statement was "DCS started as basically FC3." This is a reference to how DCS has visibly and technically evolved from LOMAC to FC to DCS with slight improvements over time into what DCS is today.
Fuck you for getting me riled up enough to write all that out.
>>136546854
>You're arguing a retarded semantical difference between what separates DCS
Yup. like I said THE DCS SERIES STARTED WITH THE KA 50. Porting tons of crap from other flight sims is a completely different topic of discussion. Stay mad autist.

>>136549045
There is no Half Life 3. People need to let go.
I can't get hyped for things that I might not see in my lifetime anymore so F-5E is the only thing I'm really hyped for right now because it'll probably come out by next year.
I'm interested in the Viggen because I'm curious to see how an Ikea jet works. There's never been a Swedish fighter simulated to the depth of DCS, so it'll be interesting to see how the Swedish approach design and cockpit ergonomics. Unfortunately the Viggen we're getting is just a ground pounder variant, so my excitement is very tempered by that. At the very least,it'll be the first ground pounder in DCS that can fly fast, and I'm a big fan of the MiG-21, so I'll probably be checking it out.
As for the rest:
>Hornet and Tomcat
Too far away to get excited about, but I look forward to DCS having a true and modern multi-role fighter in 7 years.
>Paying for carriers
I'm worried about the implications this might have on mission design and multiplayer. I need to know more info, but I have on interest in buying these either way.
>Sand and Sand Redux
Sand redux at least offers more interesting scenarios than muh Red Flag, but I still worry that nobody will play any of the non-stock maps because they're not cheap.
>Gazelle and Cobra
Helicopters are too slow for me and I don't recall a Cobra ever even being confirmed or announced. It's a wishlist item at best from what I've heard.

I've been flying the huey for like 3 months now and that has happened exactly ONCE. It happened after I dove down from 10000 feet and gave full collective.
Seriously just don't cause too much stress on the blades and it won't happen.

A really long time ago, sailormens made a really good school for their bestest plane driving men who drive planes from boats.
They did it cuz they needed to learn how to make other plane driver mens die better, and to know who the bestest plane drivers mens were.
They did a good job.
Today, the sailormens call it the dead plane school

There's one more which is a COIN op but it's not quite 100% ready yet.
You would just need to set the course up right, maybe make a limit on altitude, and it would be solid
Ops were fun but I'm worn out for now.
I've got an idea for an op that someone should make: Anti-Pirate Ops. Basically an army of Somalians is coming to git the wite wimminz of Georgia and you have to sink all of their ships and/or destroy all of their transports before they reach some city and rape your GF. Perhaps they have commandeered a single large ship in addition to the landing craft, to give you a proper AA worry.

I want to get into BMS but god damn it its so dated.
I tried fucking around in it today, and I shot a Tu-95 down with an aim-9x and it literally just disappeared. No explosion or anything. Just gone.
Same shit that was happening in Falcon 4.0 20 years ago.
>>136606782
I do not understand how people get triggered by something this insignificant ? Do they get scared by the graphics and have low expectations for rest of the simulator ?
>I tried fucking around in it today, and I shot a Tu-95 down with an aim-9x and it literally just disappeared. No explosion or anything. Just gone.
You mustve obliterated that plane
larger craft has terrible explosion models ,but smaller fighters tend to burn for a bit until exploding. Either way I do not mind the damage models at all .
For example , here I got hit by friendly aim9 and i lost a bit of avionics+mfd . I powered down and after 8 secounds my engine exploded (complete loss of power) And i was not hit by anything else .

Okay so about that Op Blue Flag style campaign for the Strait of Hormuz map. I've been kicking some more ideas around on how to balance it.

To help balance the advantage that the F/A-18C gives BlueFor, I've given RedFor an M-2000C, and RedFor would also receive a more complex and bigger SAM network to keep the Hornets tied up.

Also I liked the fact that there was very few AI in Blue Flag. It was cool knowing anything you saw flying was another player.
>>136611173
That's why I've given RedFor a shitload of F-14s and MiG-29s. Slot numbers for the F-18s could be adjusted if needed. If I gave RedFor Su-27s, would that make them too OP? I figured the F-14s would be more than a match for the F-15s.
I would probably ask the Blue Flag guys for guidance on how exactly to set the mission up and how much AI presence there should be.
I really dig the idea of a persistent Blue Flag campaign that isnt either NATO vs Russia or each side gets everything.
>>136610425
Do you have any experience at all with the DCS mission maker? Making something like Blue Flag won't be easy.
>>136612081
I can learn. Begging someone else to make it for me won't get me anywhere, though I fully intend to ask the Blue Flag guys for advice. Something like this is at LEAST a year out anyways, plenty of time to pick apart the Black Sea Blue Flag mission and see how they did it.
>>136608490
If Avio are working on a Mirage F1, I might swap the Syrian M-2000C out for an Iranian F1. As I understand it, the F1 is a better attack aircraft, which I think would help balance RedFor a bit better.
>>136612798
Good fucking luck to you then.
I can't count the amount of times someone on the internet got all excited over making someone cool and then gave up a month after slowly realizing how much work it's going to be.

This.
Mission scripting is not easy. There is next to no documentation for doing what in your head sounds trivial. The only reason I've been able to handle mission scripting is because I already know how to program and I had a ton of help fromthe hoggit IRC. There's a few guys who hang out in there know that know their shit and one of those guys is the guy that wrote MIST.
>>136612798
According to CMANO's database, the avionics of the Mirage F.1EE (the one we're getting) is almost identical to that of the F.1EQ (the one that Iran has).
In any case the DCS F.1 will be a better fit for Iran than the M2000.
>>136614354
>>136613936
In that case I'll lean on others' knowledge (hoggit, buddy spike forums) as best I can. I've worked on the Dodge Viper GT3-R and Bentley Continental GT3 physics for Assetto Corsa and managed to stick with those projects, I think I can stick with this.
>>136614613
I'll swap them then. How likely are we to get proper skins for these aircraft for the countries in the Strait of Hormuz map? I've done skinning for racing sims for years, I don't mind doing them for DCS.
>>136613963
I love flyan ta spess
I'd like to take some time to acknowledge the guy on /gag/ who thinks he's going to hop straight into 737s as a low-hour CFI, and as a result turned down a job interview to go fly Super King Airs. You shine on, you crazy diamond, and while you're at it, I'll be waiting in the wings to get my commercial cert so I can scoop up all the opportunities you turn down for being somehow beneath you
How do I learn to get gud at SA?
Even with the Su-27 datalink I always end up losing track of the battle immediately after I turn away to dodge a missile.
>>136615474
It's quite likely that we'll get official skins. If we don't however, you'll just be wasting your time making them yourself. In online custom skins don't show up for other players if they haven't downloaded it themselves.

If it's for a specific audience like Blue Flag I'm sure I can get a bunch if those people to download them for it.
In any case I enjoy doing it so it's not a problem.
>>136628601
Hey, DCS needs more goofy Cold War fighters, even if they did happen to kill more than a few pilots.
>>136630693
We need more fighter/bombers, since the maps aren't large enough to handle real bombers.

What's the fucking point of limiting them if everyone can still fly memeplanes? Cut that down to a fourth and completely leave out the Hornet and you might have something with a vague resemblance of balance.

I think I'll make someace combatstyle missions. :^)In that they involve a fictional geopolitical landscape, include air-forces with mixed inventories, and are mostly focused around WVR combat,
Whats a good flight Sim for someone to start with when you only have a K&M.
>>136644348
For mouse flying you only really havewarthunderand IL2:BOS. Trouble is that mouse flying and good flight models don't mix, hence why using the mouse in BOS is so hard. You really need a cheapo joystick to get into anything more realistic than warthunder like DCS, FSX, BMS, IL2, etc
>>136644348
>"Buy a joystick simulator 2016"
Seriously get some sort of peripheral otherwise its going to be a lesson in frustration and you wont get any enjoyment out of it.
>>136644572
it just moves the frustration to "why the mouse suck" into "why do i suck".
>>136644781
That is why if you start with a stick you can more easily work on the fundamentals.
>>136555756
The modded content (and the a-10) where you can twist and turn really fast on a time and pull 12g effortlessly handle like hot garbage... but the vanilla jets (neophron and buzzard) actually handle properly enough to feel like the real thing imo. So just give them custom loadouts and it can be fun.
>>136639563
Am I going colorblind, or is that a French roundel on that Sukhoi?

>>136646081
>but the vanilla jets (neophron and buzzard) actually handle properly enough to feel like the real thing imo.
No they fucking do not. The A3 flight model is so bad that the lift force is fixed perpendicular to the horizon and if you put the aircraft in a bank you just continue on your original vector...
Even A2 had better flight models.
>>136646235
Ah. I see it, now.
Will there ever bee Korean War ops?

>>136647053

I don't think that's the reason desu, it's more that there's absolutely no content for the damn things and so not many people have the modules.

the time between was expanded like a year ago to 90s iirc. or at least for me that's my cooldown timer nowadays.
I'm convinced the ATC AI in FSX is programmed to fuck up every now and again. I just had it line me up for final on Runway 02 while it lined up another plane for 20, had us make our final approaches at nearly identical times, and gave me a rear-right quartering crosswind, leaving me on a runway excursion about 30 feet away from the end of it,and I listened to it like a fucking lemming
>>136649496
That's because you're a shitter.
>>136649559
Also, I managed to catch a screenshot of this one, the flight following ATC didn't give me any warning of an aircraft at exactly the same altitude as me performing his climbout to wherever, resulting in a near-miss of about 20 feet
