why can't there be more good helo flight sims fuck
DCS is like the only game that does helicopter flight well and the most potent helicopter in the game is a teeny little russian thing that never entered serial production because even the soviets realized that having the pilot and the gunner merged into a single crewman was a bad idea
>>143576467
You probably started screaming like an autist.
>>143577286
Sad thing is no. It was back when shitspawn was a total fucker and edited Why's thread on how to fix model enlargement to made it look like it was just a mod, and moved it to the depths of the mod section to effectively hide it. Hence model enlargement is still fucked, and still doesn't scale with resolution.
Pointing this out to the other people in the thread was evidently not a good idea.

You kind of have to sometimes. ED doesn't release changelogs for third party modules fucking ever, most of the third party devs only do updates on in-progress stuff on the forum, and occasionally you have to trawl the forum for a hotfix for something.
Why do all fucking forums inevitably end up being shit? It's not that hard. I used to run a goddamn forum and it was the easiest shit in the world.

I don't even want the Viggen or F-14 anymore, not if it takes Leatherneck this long to roll an update out on fucking game/sim-breaking bugs.
I don't see why they don't get shit on more than they do, I think it's just "first real fighter module" hype that's still carrying over.
They really deserve to be banged up over this shit.

They're immune to criticism though because everyone loves the fishbed because ralfidude made aadmittedly pretty goodreview video for it and everyone gargles his cum for some reason
Hopefully, with the F-5 providing another DCS-level "multirole" fighter, their spotlight will be stolen a bit and they'll actually have some incentive to step their game up.

Fuck you, I like MiG-21 for what it is: a sanic 3rd gen plane, unlike that MUH COMPUTAZ 4gen push-x-to-win shit. Also, that's why BMS sucks, it has no planes that requure skill in it, only arcade.
>>143583165
It says "F-14 DEVELOPMENT UPDATE - PART 2," so I assume that's what it was intended to be, yes.
Nevermind everything in it was 2-3 weeks old at the time it was posted. So far as anyone could tell going by that update, no progress had been made whatsoever.
They're in fucking "crunch time" for the Viggen right now, but we've still seen absofuckinglutely nothing about it, and that plane is supposed to come out this year, along with the F-14 being in beta by the end of the year, allegedly.
I tend not to believe a fucking word Leatherneck says anymore. Recently, RAZBAM's been running FUCKING CIRCLES around them so far as pace of development/fixes on the mostly guesswork 2000 goes, and RAZBAM's a bunch of fucking banana men whose huts recently got knocked over by earthquakes.

Anyways, I'm done shitposting.
I just hope all you Viggenfags enjoy your custom LNS air-to-ground radar that DOESN'T FUCKING WORK when it eventually comes out.
I was excited for it too, not after putting up with LNS' bullshit for the past couple months.
>>143583703
Y'know, for how much shit people give Razbam for how much on the M2000 is fudged, they're pretty ABAP devs so far (aside from unironically asking if the community wanted a shitty turboprop with no precision munitions)

Polychop might be able to go that way if they'll either fix the gazelle's low speed handling/autopilot at low speed, or release an explanation for why it works the way it does.
>>143584240
Isn't the Gazelle's autopilot only capable of keeping the helicopter stable at pitch/bank of up to 45deg? That's how it feels in-sim, once you roll past 45, the AP gives up, and you have to wrestle it back inside it's limits. It feels right at low-speed desu, being that sensitive. It's a tiny helicopter.
What's the current go-to IL-2 Cliffs of Dover mod?
>>143584240
Last I checked, the radar fixes aren't in game yet, but supposedly they're ready and coming soon..
along with the rest of the PPA, close combat mod/radar functions, and a whole slew of other shit finally being ready to be implemented in the next couple weeks (eclair already in open beta build, 4 magics becoming possible, etc).
Meanwhile, Leatherneck can't even get an update pushed to a module they released a year and a half ago.
It's pretty clear who the better devs are at this point. Shit, any time there's a bug with the Mirage in the current beta implementation, their devs have been REALLY good about responding, asking for information, and gettting fixes rolled out as they can.. the worst thing they've done was patch the jamming iconography in for the radar without testing it, which caused CTD's for two weeks.. again, not exactly their fault, though, because CptSmiley had a fix ready within 24 hours, it's just that ED didn't push a patch for a while.
>>143584523
The problem with low speed handling is that hte autopilot just kind of stops functioning at all- below a certain speed threshold, the yaw channel has a sort of "soft" disengage where it remains on visually, but it stops correcting entirely. It's a very abrupt thing- you pass under the limit and the helo instantly jumps to the left, then you pass back over the speed and it jumps to the right because the AP is now commanding antitorque corrections and your own rudder input is being added to that.
That's my main issue with it so far- if they can show that that's how it's supposed to work, fine, but as it is the manual has no information on the autopilot other than how to turn it on and a brief description of the hold modes.
>>143584240
>>143585035
Oh, I fucking forgot.
THEY FIXED THE CANNONS' DAMAGE, TOO.
They're really god-damn powerful in the open beta build right now, feels about like they should, it's no longer taking 3 bursts or more to cut through a fighter, and the fucker is actually capable of hurting A-50s without using all its ammunition only to take out a couple engines and otherwise do no real damage.
>>143584989
TFM.
>>143584989
Team Fusion, as if there are any other mods for it.
>>143585223
Now if only ED will implement the second part of that mod and fix the P-51's guns.
I was actually able to set things on fire with that mod. I had never seen an aircraft catch fire without exploding in DCS prior to loading that up, but by god I got a burst off on a Messer and the fucker lit up and burned out, and it was satisfying as all fuck
It's not even a hard thing to do- literally all that guy had to do was edit some lua shit, and historical documentation to prove that US fighters flew up with actually-useful payloads of incendiary ammo is all over the place to the point that you have to actively look away from it to justify the current ammo loading on the P-51.

Why wouldnt it?
>>143585698
Yeah, IIRC ED implemented an official historical loadout but gave the rounds values for the wrong rounds. Something like their API is just a tracer and their AP is just a ball. All the mod did was use a more historically common loadout with proper values.

got my delan and was using facetracknoir and found i'd like a decent diagonal axis? heard freetrack is regarded better than FTNR anyway
The chopper's finally got a new engine in it, I'm able to fly again, hopefully I'll find a time to get more snappy-shots, maybe even this weekend
In the meantime, I've got the Gazelle, finally, and it's fun as fuck, but boy oh boy is it rough
>>143588062
How do you find its performance when transitioning into ground effect? Is all that shit I said about it ballooning out true, or am I just shit?
>>143588062
neat coastline, anon, but where is it?
>>143587462
>>143588010
>freetrack
Did you mean "opentrack"?
>>143588062
First off, for the good, the engine and avionics seem properly modeled, as far as I would assume, at least, I've never gotten actual stick time in the Gazelle and certainly haven't fired a missile from one. Also, it's zippy as fuck and maneuvers quite well, as would be expected from a small, light, egg-shaped machine. In a cruise it's quite good, overall
The problems crop up when taking off; ground effect is like a forcefield, there's no translational lift, the slightest bit of pedal past the balance point sends you off on the rodeo and there's absolutely no "light on the skids" moment at all. I distinctly remember talking about this with another guy in /simg/, and now I can tell you first hand that the flight model is unfinished. Sure, it's just when you're hovering, but hovering is kind of important in a helicopter
>>143588062
Why don't you get rid of that stupid chopper and buy a real aircraft, like a Cessna?
>>143588570
hello robinson anon it is me, ground effect anon
also when you roll the gazelle over the nose automatically rises for a high rate turn, is that realistic in any way at all? none of the other helos in the game do that.
>>143588436
No, Freetrack.
Though I'm open to anything really.
>>143588217
The ground effect is definitely wacky, and translational lift doesn't happen. I picked up and gave no control inputs other than a bit of forward cyclic just to be sure, and next thing you know I'm cruising at 150 knots skimming the ground without so much as a hint of climb.
Also, you're probably shit, but so am I, and every pilot who is still alive.
Well, maybe not shit, but nobody's perfect, and it's better that way. Once you decide you're "perfect" you lose your humility and start to make mental errors, and that's how to make dead pilots
>>143588669
I'm actually planning on doing a fixed-wing transition, but not right away, I need to accrue some cash and sign up with a second aircraft club.
Also, that is most definitely not my helicopter, I'm not anywhere rich enough to own anything that flies
>>143588669
I would really like the Skyhawk if it weren't so goddamn ugly and capable of flight at above the speed of smell.
>>143589296
I thought freetrack was abandoned by its developers?
>>143588857
From what I've seen of the DCS Gazelle, it seems that the nose is actually quite apt to drop with a high rate of turn, which is similar to what I've noticed in real life. In forward flight it handles like a souped up Robinson with a leftward-leaning torque effect instead of right
did we lose blue flag?
server been down for a while
>>143587597
The information comes from USAAF standard, not from operational experiences that amended it in the field. The BoS P-40 is the same, they got the engine limits from training/domestic documents and just ignored the thousands of lines of combat reports that contradict them.
Imagine that right, people doing things differently in the field to in theory...
>>143589936
It's called opentrack now I think.
>>143590108
Is this asshole fucking telling lies again or is the server up now?
Is there a good resource to find out what is actually on the f-16's HOTAS? I want to bind stuff to be as accurate as possible.

Huh. I was following Chuck's little youtube guide (which is apparently based on the manual for the aircraft). Am I just doing it wrong, or what? Collective position didn't seem to affect rotor rpm or lift generated at all until I yanked it all the way back up.
Autoing every other helo in the game is easy, but generally they all have much lower disk loading.
>>143593449
I did a power-on autorotation to a hover in it, or at least tried to, and found myself lawndarting. I'd say the Gazelle is decidedly not finished in the "flight model" category
>>143594976
How fucking rich are you
I looked into getting some flight time in a helo. Local airport doesn't rent them, regional one an hour or two from me does but it's like $300/hr wet without an instructor (which is like an extra $75/hr)
I talked to a couple of older guys I know who've done it, they said they did it mainly by doing work around the airport and using that to bum flight hours off of them, but I don't think that shit happens anymore
>>143596704
I don't fly all that often. Going rate is $230/hr alone, $300 with instruction. Every time I go and fly it's a few days' worth of paychecks that go into it, needless to say, and it's not exactly something you can do while working in the food service or retail industry.Also, fuck that. I hit rock bottom working at a supermarket, never a-fucking-gainYou could go Part 141 and go to a regular school to get your training, but it winds up costing just as much. I'm trying to become a professional pilot, though, and I fucking love flying, so it's worth the cost
Also, I really wish I had the fancy GoPro back in the fall
Any suggestions on stabilizing the head tracker? I feel like I have to keep centering it, and zooming in to read instruments is a bit awkward.

How is that a problem? How is most of the shit not working as intended such as missiles or FLIR not a problem? How is the lack of content for anything that isn't from the late 70s/mid 80s not a problem?

>>143634865
>How is that a problem?
In itself it wouldn't be so bad if there was some fucking user-made freeware out there, especially when they want you to pay for FC3 tier aircraft.
It creates a pricing problem where if you like multiple aircraft instead of having a boner for a single model to the exclusion of all else, you're gonna get keked on cost. Like a mini version of Train simulator.
>How is most of the shit not working as intended such as missiles or FLIR not a problem?
Failure to mention it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
>How is the lack of content for anything that isn't from the late 70s/mid 80s not a problem?
Because to get it you'd have to compromise on accuracy.and lack of content period comes under "limited plane selection"
>>143634793
It's an older 1U Dell Poweredge server, no room for even a low profile video card. My thinking is that this box is sitting on a rack, plenty of RAM, ready to roll, and I wouldn't have to spend a penny. Are there plans for a dedicated server?
>>143634893
Yeah it'd be Fishbeds, Tigers, Helos and Attackers.
>>143635164
Oh and in addition to our little /29 subnet, we have like 10 dynamic IPs (with 1 year leases), so I can set this up completely off the company network.

Except DCS modules have actual effort put in it, unlike Train Simulator. Honestly I never saw paying for individual modules as a bad thing, especially because keysites have been a thing for years. I find having to pay for maps and the concept of ED willing to make you pay for fucking textures absolutely inexcusable though.
>Failure to mention it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Not mentioning what's arguably the biggest problem at the moment is kinda dumb. Also, lack of blast damage from bombs. Also some FMs still being inaccurate despite being labeled as "PFM".
>Because to get it you'd have to compromise on accuracy
What. How the fuck would adding WW2/KTO vehicles so that half of the plane selection isn't "just there" inaccurate?
>>143635563
>soon
[tm]
>DCS modules have actual effort put in it
When they work. When they aren't simplified FC3 tier.
>I find having to pay for maps and the concept of ED willing to make you pay for fucking textures absolutely inexcusable though.
I would be inclined to agree.
>Not mentioning what's arguably the biggest problem at the moment is kinda dumb
It goes without saying. There's no real contention, and thus no fun, in saying it.
>What. How the fuck would adding WW2/KTO vehicles so that half of the plane selection isn't "just there" inaccurate?
I had presumed you were getting at more modern aircraft, not older ones.although WW2 doesn't even register to me since IL-2 presents itself as unambiguously preferable, unlike SF2 or BMS which have disadvantages.
>>143635827
>when they aren't simplified fc3 tier
when has an FC3-level module been released as payware ever, aside from FC3 itself
>>143635914
the fc 3 models are available separately, although you can just buy fc 3 itself
>>143635148
>if there was some fucking user-made freeware out there
All the user made freeware either falls through when they realise how hard making a module is or becomes payware when they realise how expensive making a module (that's worth a damn) is.
>>143636030
There's freeware out there, too, it's just not fantastically made and usually amounts to being a model swap of an Su-27/MiG-29
>>143635827
>When they work. When they aren't simplified FC3 tier.
As far as I know that happened literally once, being the fucking Hawk, and it seems that ED is not willing to let a fiasco like that happen again. Not to mention that they axed the third parties that were trying shit out 3d models converted from FSX (F-22, Superbug, F-15E).
>WW2 doesn't even register to me since IL-2 presents itself as unambiguously preferable
What do you mean?
>>143636030
Off the cuff, I'd blame DCS itself for that.
People manage to make relatively good freeware add ons for other sims*. Why not DCS?
*yes, most of it is still trash, but there are examples of good shit out there.
>>143636176
>What do you mean?
IL-2 is so superior to DCS for WW2 combat at this time that the option of using DCS for simulating anything before Korea didn't even occur to me.

The aircraft selection is so much better that it isn't even funny. Even in CLOD.
A man cannot live on P-51 alone.
>>143636518
Every aircraft in BoS acts like it's flying in super goddamn thin air regardless of altitude- everything's floaty, there's no feeling of wind resistance- it basically feels like you're flying around an airless rock.

Yeah but
>battle of britain era
>means the latest 109 is an emil series
Gustav 109 is best 109, Friedrich can come too.
>>143636545
Not to mention the fact that DCS is the only sim where the community is actively fighting against any kind of visibility improvement solutions.
I swear, if they spun FC3 off into it's on product and made it incompatible with DCS it'd go a long way to improving the community, since the devs seem to listen to the F-15 scrubs above anyone else; despite the fact that they're the lease likely to actually buy a full module.
>>143636837
DCS has it's roots in FC/Lock On. They'll never abandon it.
>>143636837
How to improve DCS:
>either spin off FC3 as its own thing or just stop paying attention to people who primarily play in those aircraft
>develop more reasonably modern DCS-level fighters (80stek works, just shit that has modern-ish avionics and weapons) to fill the gaps in the DCS roster
>develop the mission editor and scripting engine more so that missions that aren't just airquake aren't so fucking unstable, and by god maybe even give us a dynamic campaign
>fix missiles and ground damage modelling
bam, DCS suddenly becomes GOAT
>>143637128
They could pull another babby cliffs 2 - give all of the FC3 clickable cockpits and PFMs, and force people to buy those.

See that's why I DON'T like the kurfurst- it's too good
I like the gustav mainly because it's kind of the most workhorsey of the Messers (plus that Afrikakorps swagger). Flying the kurfurst in DCS just feels like cheating, all you have to do to get out of trouble in most cases is just push the throttle forward and manage your energy well.

>>143643609
Elite is a simulator, but what it simulates is wasted potential and lazy developers :^)
>>143643456
Well shit. CSAR sounds like it would have been pretty cool.
I still think they need to give the high-end missiles a finite amount that each side would have that slowly replenishes over time. Make it like 100-250 at the start of the campaign and have it trickle up. Force the players to use the worse missiles if they waste them.
>>143644049
Open Conflict has CSAR if you want to try it
Whenever a player ejects, their pilot is left at the site of ejection, you can ask for directions, beacon, coordinates etc, fly out and get him and return him to your home base
All while the air war is going on above and around you - it's pretty fun in the Huey
>>143644049
That'd be like putting a bandaid on a ruptured artery. They still don't have anything that prevents a side from occupying all of the slots. And even solving that wouldn't solve all of the problems. Bottom line is, BF is doomed to always be shit unless you're either a masochist or enjoy brainless stomping.
So ARE there any good DCS multiplayer missions that aren't just muh airquake?
I'm kind of hoping Chuck Owl ends up doing another airmobile. Even if it's contrived as fuck to make the Gazelle actually useful, it'll still be more fun than most of the shit in the server browser.

If only it was that easy.
I carefully explained that we`re not a squadron and anyone can have that tag,anyone can come onto TS and fly with us and most of the people do not even know each other.

Which leads exactly to the kind of shitdeal you're going through right now. It would've been better to just pose as a regular virtual squadron at least in the forums, but guess what. Again, serves you right.
