Jesus the detail on the F-14 is fucking incredible. Makes me wonder about performance though.
>>137225475
>Something many of you have concerns about is performance. We're taking a very pro-active stance on ensuring that performance is optimal at release this time around.
We very much wish to ensure that the F-14 will perfectly on the vast majority of systems, and approaching things more carefully from the beginning will make it easier for us to make adjustments in the future.
>>137225475
"We have a number of techniques in mind to maximize texture and model fidelity while ensuring excellent performance; but as always-- we build our artwork to be downsized, rather than the other way around."
>>137225648
>>137225734
Oh good. The MiG-21 had some major performance issues when it first released, mainly due to LoD issues if I recall correctly.
FUCKING HYPED DESU
>>137225856
Honestly I'm trying to keep hype for the F-14 to a minimum right now so I can make it till 2025 when it's released.But I'm still hyped as fuck for the Viggen and Gazelle.
I need to sleep soon, is there a hero that can keep the thread alive in the twilight zone?

>>137225218
>A couple of weeks ago we began development of a Forrestal Class carrier to go with the F-14. We don't have any plans for this to be a payware module; and thus hope to include it either in the base simulator or bundled with the F-14 package itself.

IL2 BoS/BoM received a big update yesterday. From what I can tell they released (part) of the BoM campaign and the BoM map.
Did not have a chance to check it out, since I don't own BoM.

And it was actually vertex count, it had too many texture parts, and every time you split a texture in place for the model you double the amount of vertices in that area, too many of that, and it all goes into the shitter, it's still has bad optimization though.

What do these release videos actually mean? The module is out of beta/pre-release? There were a couple of other videos posted a couple of weeks ago (Mig-21 I believe), I thought they were just reuploads.
What new has been added that wasn't in the game prior? Do they actually have functioning training missions (more than just cold start, etc.), campaigns, etc.?
>can't turn my theme back to basedtomorrowafter blocking the element that caused the google+ shit

>>137276989
You would need some serious autism to buy that. I mean look at it. It is basically a a less ergonomic keyboard with a retarded layout and a master caution light.
Jesus.
>>137280223
They added training missions and tweaked a few final things. Same as the MiG-15 a few weeks ago.
Yeah it's dumb, but that's BST for ya. They should just not bother with the beta tag, it makes their modules look less complete than they are.
Is LN still aiming for a 2016 release for their F-14?
>>137282843
yup
>>137233478
Simply put it is whatever speed you need to keep the desired AOA for landing. For example the F-16 on speed AOA is 13 degrees on a 3 degree glideslope; so basically it's whatever speed puts you flight path indicator on the -3 degree mark while your nose is pinned at +10 degrees. This speed changes depending on your weight.
The reason for doing this is that it's more important that you fly the correct profile than it is you land at a given speed. Basically you want to pitch up as far as you safely can without a ground strike as this means you can go the slowest possible.
>>137248501
You are a life saver.
So due to its release, I took the Sabre out for a spin.

pisses me off that they had to make it eastern front, at least its a little better now without the god damned snow. but comeon.
why no north africa, or italy, generally a med setting would be cool.
or a fuckawesome pacific setting.
just because the god damned devs are russians they had to pick the absolutely worst setting.
>>137291241
I don't like the setting either because it looks so boring and I think it has a terrible lineup of planes. Everything is flat as shit. However I thought the snow was kind of good, because then it was pretty easy to find the enemy planes without labels. When I fly on the non-snow maps it gets a fuckload harder.

Coming to DCS in five years, and yes, that'd definitely be more interesting than the fucking early WW2 eastern front.

The huey missions where you need to stay in formation with the AI are annoying. The bastard says he keeps a speed of 100 knots, but really he jumps all over the place. Constant changes in elevation too. Refused to wait for me when I dropped off troops and failed the mission because he zoomed ahead.

>>137266182
>>137302273
There is literally nothing wrong with arcade or sim-lite flight games.
>>137299808
I found all of the huey missions boring, up until I quit them. I can't remember doing any actual missions, just senpai flights, ferrying the helicopter between airports and that stupid reporter mission. I think I may have done a single troop transport (if that, I just remember landing at red smoke, it's been a while).
There might be some decent ones later on but the 6th mission in a row you get that's nothing but a 60 minute A-B mission (with quality DCS mission making so half the time one of the check points doesn't trigger and you can't end the mission, or you do it all fine and land, and don't get the mission complete screen and can't progress. That happened to me 2 or 3 times on reporter mission I believe, after about 5 hours of in-game flying I just dropped the campaign)

F-14A is a very different plane from the F-14D, which is the F-14 most people think of when they talk about how hot shit they think the F-14 was.It's still kind of a glorified Phantom though.

Cool, thanks for announcing it in the thread.
Or were they TeamSpeak exclusive ops??
>>137313554
>exclusive ops
Nothing exclusive about them, but not every op has room for more than 10 people and the ones at do take forever to make.
We had 8 people, we flew an 8 man op.
>>137313317
YOU TAKE THAT BACK
PHANTOM IS GLORIOUS
>>137313317
Seriously though, why all those shortcomings, especially on such a large and expensive plane?
It's contemporary to the F-16A, F-15A, yet as far as I can tell those planes had advanced HUD, RWR, electrical backup etc
>>137314329
My guess would be where their priorities lie. The F-14's primary mission was fleet defense, which meant intercepting bombers as fast as possible. The F-14 is no slouch in technical gizmos with its fuck huge radar and fuck huge active radar missiles. It's an impressive system even today, as it should be able to out-detect anything this side of an AESA.
>>137315742
Did you say FUCK HUGE RADAR?
>>137314329
It entered service in 1974 and was amazingly impressive and sophisticated for its time.
The Navy just had different priorities in their fighter than the Air Force. The USAF really saw the need for the TEWS after Vietnam, but the USN were less stringent in the requirements they set out for the F-14. They were more concerned about big fughueg missiles and a huge fire control radar than pouring money into advanced computerised avionics that at the time where only really a thing on the F-15A & AJ 37. Because of this lack of processing power the hud is pretty shit yeah.
>>137316338

What was so special about it?
>>137317120
>2.5g limit
What? Why?
How?
>>137317265
First plane to use integrated circuits, which was a big deal in 1971.
>>137317274
Well it's a long range interceptor meant to destroy bombers. It's so fuck huge that it can go afterburner all day.
So I guess if you can go fast, poop out your missiles at enemy bombers in one pass, and just run away from the escorts you don't need more Gs than that.
It's like the granddaddy of the Mig-25
>>137317440
Did it do anything special with it (like more advanced radar/ rwr/ HUD) or did it just result in smaller avionics?
>>137317728
It was meant to help reduce the workload to a manageable amount for just one pilot. So you had shit like:
A terrain mapping radar.
True CCIP & CCRP not based on gyros.
An RWR with data recording features.
Anti-ship missiles.
A HUD, nothing too fancy but at least not a lagg fest like the F-14A.

What's the big difference between the Mig-19 and the 21 that led to the 19 being replaced quickly while the 21 has been in service for 60 years?
Such a shame too. I really like the Mig-19's aesthetics.
>>137325538
The air combat meta changed.
>>137325538
It'd be kinda hard to upgrade the MiG-19 with more capable A2A function, without modifying the nose section extensively. Putting a radar on that nose would require changing that air intake drastically, to the point of impracticality.
>>137326859
The Chinese did it pretty gracefully. But yeah without the nose intake it just isn't the same.

>>137349367
How does that work? Isn't it boring just flying straight for 8 hours or are you all in a chat room together?
>>137349367
>>137350896
I never understood civilian flight sims, especially airliners.
You spend 15 minutes doing checks and start up, take off, and then you're sitting on autopilot for the next 6-12 hours, until it's time to land, which takes another 15 minutes. I don't know how people can just sit there staring at the horizon for 8 hours straight, unless they're being paid a lot of money for it like actual pilots are.
Helicopters, and small aircraft like Cessnas I understand because in most cases you're actually the one flying them, the trips are shorter and you can practice with them if you want to get a civilian license. If you're at the point where you're playing airliner sims, it's probably far too late for you to actually get a job in that field.
>>137351286
>unless they're being paid a lot of money for it like actual pilots are.
Hmmm, most pilots are being shafted when it comes to wages. In Southern Europe many First officers are paying to be in the cockpit.
>>137350896
It's all done on the VATSIM network, so you have voice (and text) comms with ATC and the other pilots.
>>137351286
Not usually a fan of long haul flights, I usually do ~1-2 hour city-city hops so there's not as much boring cruise phase.
Landing on the dreaded runway 18R of Amsterdam Schipol, about 5 miles of taxiing to get to the terminal.
>>137351579
Good job I'm not talking about shithole countries that probably shouldn't even be allowed to land in Western airports.
Just like half of Africa and Asia isn't.
>>137351875
Most pilots still only get pennies in the US you know?
>>137351842
Currently ~120 controllers + ~800 pilots online

You can tell how laughable this entire state of affairs is when you actually have to ask.
>>137359007
>>137359264On a semi-serious note, they do look markedly better zoomed in. Where those scratches on the panels were, you could literally see the colour-blocking
>>137359221
Its the new one on the highest res setting, they included 3 settings in misc options
>>137359384
Do you know much about the hawk itself? I'm wondering if the HUD we're using in the module is the actual one the aircraft gets, or if it's just a placeholder.
I don't even understand the symbology of it.
I guess the top dot is the nose line of the aircraft, the dot beneath it is the weapons line? No idea what the moving reticule is supposed to indicate.
And also is it possible to set a mission up in the air where the seekers start pre-cooled, instead of the game beginning you in the middle of a dogfight and you have to somehow survive 2+ minutes without being able to return fire because you have to enable the coolant.
Pic vaguely related, just wanted one where you can kind of see the HUD for reference. The new textures look amazing if you compare them to this shit to be honest, I actually forgot how bad they are/were.
>>137359729
It's not a HUD, and yes it's final. It's the wrong colour but it's final.That whole sight-block gives me eye cancer.
>>137359859
What does the information on the display actually mean then?
The moving reticule surely can't be for any accurate guns employment since it isn't being fed any radar information (or even old gyroscopic information where you punch in range to target and wingspan?) It can't be for missile employment since I imagine the missiles would be tied to boresight (at least partially, since they can scan, but I can never get that to work, not least because there's no lock on tone and I hate having to look away from the front of my aircraft to see if I'm locked or not)
I really have no clue.
On another note, is it possible to ramp up the rate of fire for the rocket pods? They seem to fire insanely slow for how minuscule their explosive content is (massive rockets you can understand why they'd have a slower rate of fire, but these are so small they surely need to be fired in a volley like those on the L39, etc.), whereas unless I'm missing something, they seem to fire at about 1 (single, not pair) per second.
I'll admit I'm just fannying on in the aircraft and haven't played the tutorials (not since I was conned into buying it years ago, at least, forgot most of that)

Does anybody seen this video before? I remember watching this but can't find the source of it.

That is some lazy weathering. It disgusts me to think they have the contract to produce a typhoon simulator for the RAF; what a waste of my tax money.
The fat bastard really doesn't like to climb.

The scratches are terrible though, it'd look better without them, they honestly look like stickers.
>>137359264
Here's a real one for comparison.
Notice how the scratches are in places where it makes sense.

Being a shit is what makes it great, it's like American slavshit.
Man I fucking love these damage models in IL-2 BoS.
I love the bending before shit breaks, I love the fires, I love the debris tearing off. It just feels so much better than the DCS models, which feel real static in comparison to this.
I should make webms of this shit. It looks so much better in motion.
You see Grigor, when you bend propeller like me you can be more of velocity because you have more aerodynamic.
how's the 390 for playing DCS on 1080?
>>137373353
I love the DMs in RoF and BoS too. Too bad I'm shit at aerial gunnery
Not sure if anyone cares. Falcon Online Coop is now up. If you're bothered going through the hoops to get it working.
>>137374213
Great.
>>137374262
For whatever reason the recoil from weapons (even 7.92mm and other rifle rounds) in BoS throws your plane around far more than it feels should be the case, I'm not sure why.
I'm not sure if BoS' recoil is accurate or every other flight sims' is.
>>137374213
It'll work.

>>137375903
assuming the cpu will keep it fed (as i understand that's the major issue on dcs), it'll maintain 60fps at medium/high settings? or should i just get a better card?
i'm on a gtx 860m and it shits itself at anything higher than low/medium
And now the boring part. it'll be about an hour before I see land again.

Hey GA friend, P3D anon here. Are you interested in some shared cockpit goodiness in a model A3xx, pic related?
I always wanted to fly this shit with someone else. I got download links for everything.
>>137384516
Dunno if timezones will line up normally, I'm totally fucking up my sleep schedule to do cross the ditch. Hit me up on steam, jamvanderloeff
>>137385695
sent ;)no really, added you
>>137384516
I just got P3D, however only the base game. I find most of the planes very lacking. Are there any recommendations for add on modules you can give me?
>>137387069
What kinda planes are you interested in?
>>137387363
Pretty much all kinds with very good simulation depth. I'd prefer small jets since I have no idea how all that pitch/mixture stuff works. But any is fine desu. Not a fan of big fat jumbos but whatever.
>>137387774
Small jets you say? I really like the QualityWings BAE 146/Avro RJ (as seen in >>137351842 >>137349367) Not super in depth (no failure modelling), has pretty much everything else though.
If you want something a little bigger and more complex, PMDG's 737 model is excellent.
>>137387774
>I have no idea how all that pitch/mixture stuff works
Mixture: the proportion between air and fuel. The higher you go, the more you decrease mixture, if you're on the ground at sea level you can set it to more than 100%.
Prop pitch: Like gears in cars. In IL-2 1946 100% prop pitch is like the first gear, in other sims it's the other way around.
>>137388320
Oh and about prop pitch and power settings: if you want to haul ass you set throttle at 100% and then modify the prop pitch so that the engine remains on the power band (the, so to say, optimal value). If you want to fly with more efficiency you leave the prop pitch at the optimal value and decrease throttle.
>>137388195
Alright I think I will go with the PMDG pack since it's available on a certain site.
Also how the fuck can I activate mouse look and zoom in P3D? This shit behaves like fucking FSX what is this?
>>137376965
DCS now offloads most of its processing to the GPU now I think.
