So this thread can we just stop being autistic about people playing games you may not personally like and just play sims?
If you are one of those people who for some reason, are beside themselves when other people are enjoying themselves whilst playing a game you don't like, then please take a step back and really think about the life choices that got you to this point.
>>135153494
dude but bms is sssooooo much better than dcs lol
>>135153742
no but like tiles ruin my immersion therefore you should stop playing
>>135153494
Just stop replying to them, same as other shitposting. They don't even play sims.

>which timeframe works best for you?

>what kind of ops do you prefer?
BMS ops use ingame radios known as IVC. Even though we try to keep it real it's not some uptight shitshow like 104th.
Enlist today!
>finally got DCS working properly on my DK2 again

Do I need to know the coldstart procedure for simg BMS ops? I keep forgetting it since I always start at runway

Coldstarts are not required. Ops take long enough without everyone waiting for INS to align etc.

In that case, might be able to do something america centric tomorrow, looking at like wednesday 0100 UTC which would be like tuesday 2000 eastern iirc. might put up some information later in the evening.

What's a good flight sim that's not too hard to get into and can be played on a HOTAS X?
I've tried DCS World and IL2: 1946 but I can't really find a decent setup for them with my HOTAS X.
>>135165179
What? DCS is easily playable with the HOTAS X
Source: I use one
You gotta set up shift modifiers, I personally use L2 and R2 on the back of the throttle.
>>135165240
I'm pretty new to flight sims so I have no idea what a good control scheme would be, no idea what's essential and all that.
If you could share your config that'd be great.
>>135165025
acmi files for bms tend to become pretty big due to the amount of stuff going on. I'll try to record something next time though.
Different anon here
When starting out just bind the very essential (X/Y axis, throttle and weapon release)
Do the training missions and use keyboard shortcuts as told in the training
Over time you'll figure out which buttons you frequently use, those are the ones you put on your hotas with modifiers
>>135165551
Open in Tacview and resave it. It'll compress all that shit down. Not sure what will be missing though.
>>135165562
meant for >>135165328
>>135165328
I would suggest following this guide.
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=324154615

Do you own any modules?
I would assume not.

It's actually pretty good as far as flight models go, it's a hovercontrol mod
Still no settling with power, the tail rotor has way too much authority and translational lift doesn't exist, but it feels a lot more lively, and it actually requires the appropriate inputs into the controls to make it fly and hover, unlike the vanilla model which is just pick up and go. It's honestly hon par withTake on Helicopters, which is better than it was, but it definitely still needs some TLC.

The Mirage 2000C is on pretty even footing with an F-16A; they were contemporaries.
The two evolved down different paths, with the F-16 gaining a lot of ground-pounding capabilities (and weight); while the Mirage split into two very different models, the Dash 5 for A2A, and D for A2G.

I don't always have good FPS tho. This webm was taken when I was testing out the night vision in thunderstorm conditions for a mission I'm working on and only had that other Hip in it. When I'm playing online I'll usually get around 60-80 if nothings happening, and less if stuff is exploding.

The Mirage is the most fun modern DCS jet to do BFM in, sure it bleeds energy like crazy in sustained turns, but it picks it back up really quickly. F-15 doesn't stand a chance, Su-27 fares a little better, but needs to end the engagement before it bleeds off all it's energy.
>>135190653
>F-15 doesn't stand a chance,

>>135190653
Having spent 90% of my ACM time in DCS in MiG-21 and Su-27 I'll agree, the Mirage is VERY good if you can manage energy lost during turns
I posted the webm, I upped the number of adversaries - you can keep yourself alive against 8 F-16C without issue
>>135190916
The F-15 excels at BVR, there is a reason NATO doctrice is to stay out of close air combat with Flankers
DCS WILL NEVER EVER HAVE:
proper briefings
proper mission planning
proper data cartridge simulation
proper ATC
proper friendly/hostile AI for air and air deference
proper jets/weapons availability for squadrons depending on year of conflict
proper multiplayer dynamic campaign
proper voice comms
proper AWACs

Why does the west measure fuel in weight instead of volume? What's the advantage of doing it that way?
>>135194901
Because that is how you measure how much is left in the tank.
>>135194901
Since when kilogram is a measure of volume and not weight?
How do you even play this shit without head tracking senpai
>>135194901
Comes from civil aviation. If you load fuel by weight you have it easier to calculate takeoff weight.
Meanwhile sub simmers are most bro-tier of /simg/.

I just grabbed a point model off thingverse and had it printed locally for a couple bucks.
Pretty new to DCS. Bought the F-15c because the free one is in russian. Anyways, I'm starting to get the hang of things. My question is how do I know when to use either the Aim 120 or Aim 9? Which situation is suited for which?
how do I install this? run setup? or unrar the .bsf's?
>>135198602
READ
THE
FUCKING
MANUAL
>>135198602
You should have really gotten Flaming Cliffs 3, but as for the F-15C the AIM-120 is a medium range missile & the AIM-9 is a short range heat seeker.
The manual for the F-15 is very short however and there are a bunch of very good steam guides. Read them.
>>135186920
I get like 60fps with dips to like 30 at the lowest with an i5-2500K overclocked, GTX970, and 8GB RAM but also I'm running the game at 2560x1440 and all the settings pretty much at maximum.

Speaking of which, is the AIM-54 the only long-range A-A missile? I know that missile turned out pretty useless only being fired 3 times for 0 kills (ignoring Iran's probably hugely inflated claims) and only ever being mounted on a single aircraft, but why? Why has nobody attempted to make a missile that can score kills from a hundred fucking miles away, is it because big slow bombers are irrelevant now and it's just not possible to hit a fighter at that distance?

Does it really matter with the FC3 modules? I could understand the ones with the clicky cockpits (although there's tooltips to show you what each button/switch does and you'll quickly know the layout by heart anyway), but the only difference besides that is the computer's voice, and that's subtitled anyway.
>>135199310
I'm planning to finally cave in and throw down a bunch of money on a CH Fighterstick plus the throttle and pedals. Would that be a huge mistake? It seems to me like that's the best option out of a pretty disappointing selection of overpriced low quality garbage.

Not to mention ever module has custom english cockpit mods and stuff anywayI use an english cockpit on the MiG-21 because I'm not a slavaboo but it makes me feel like a shitter
>>135200894
Just FYI, you can switch the cockpit tooltips on the 21 from vodkarunes to english by opening up the file in notepad++ (regular notepad makes it crash) and changing the RU in line 5 to EN. Might be worth putting the edited file in JSGME else you'll have to redo it every time the game updates.
>>135200554
It asks for the CD lcoation though?
>>135201252
It will ask you to locate the original falcon4.exe.
Has that not been uploaded? I can upload it real fast if you need it.
>>135200412
Supersonic flight creates immense drag, thus you need insane amounts of rocket propellant, which makes your missile heavy and a heavy missile is fucking, since it cannot turn. Rocket engines are simply the worst kind of propulsion for sustained atmospheric flight, but the only disposable supersonic propulsion system. Subsonic missiles are even more shit, since they can neither turn nor even catch up to the target. So yeah long range missiles are inherently problematic.
>mfw have been waiting 3 weeks for delanclip
>>135201172
The tooltips are already in English, you can do that with the ingame settings there's no need to fuck around with config files. I just like having everything labeled in English. There's already by default an English cockpit you can use but half the shit in that cockpit isn't even translated to it's a retarded mix of English and Russian, the modded cockpit fully translates everything.
>>135201252
You only need the .exe, not an install of the full game. I think they just do that to cover their ass for legal reasons, I think at this point the BMS install uses pretty much nothing from the original Falcon 4.0. Just google it, you can download the .exe for free from somewhere.

The hog is plastic bullshit wrapped in a fancy exterior. I'd rather have the CH gear which is supposedly actually high build quality internally, except now apparently they're made more cheaply in Mexico.
The Mighty 8th and IL-2 really make me want a modern, MP-centric B-17 or B-25 sim
>>135203625
I don't know. The F-15c module was only $10 so I was just like whatever.
>>135203670
>supposedly actually high build quality internally
Yeah except for potentiometers. Your best bet is getting the Hog/Black Mamba frankenHOTAS.
>>135203670
Nah the hog is actually pretty decent if you treat is right. It costs a lot of money and a plastic gimbal isn't ideal but it's still the best stick on the market unless you want to throw hundreds of dollars at VKB frankensticks. CH may have rugged internals but their sensors are the worst of the lot.
>>135200774
IMO CH is overrated, they may have been decent 10 years ago but, hello?IT'S 2016!. They feel like shit, have weird detents and terrible pots. On the plus side I guess they have good ergonomics and and very durable. The pedals are also one of the cheapest ways to get pedals.
>>135204992
Still better than breaking the bank for shitmaster
>>135204216
>>135204720
>>135204992
What's wrong with potentiometers? I know eventually they get clogged with dirt and stuff but assuming you keep it clean what's so bad about them? My current TM Hotas X shitstick seems accurate enough for me and that has pots too.
>>135205219
I think the CH gear is a bit cheaper than the warthog but not by a huge amount.
>>135203670
With the CH bits the worst that can happen is that you get a slightly wobbly piece and you send it back for a replacement if you care enough. Me, I'd rather just do a small DIY fix since it really doesn't interfere with operation at all.
>>135205459
Not only they get clogged with shit, they deteriorate with use and they aren't even close to be as accurate as magnetic sensors, I heard that some pots have the tendency to "jitter" too, and you can definitely see that happening with consoles' gamepads.
>>135200412
The Russians had some long range missiles for the MiG-25 and stuff. Similarly XBOX HUEG to the AIM-54.
>>135206135
My CH stuff jitters a bit, but you can delete that problem by just adjusting saturation/deadzone by a couple points. I'm probably going to get warthog or whatever is the top tier in a few years, because it's missing a couple of buttons that are very useful despite how many are already there.
>>135204720
If you're going to mod your stick or build a frankenstick, you're way better off starting with a Force Feedback 2.
Nothing, repeat, nothing on the market holds a candle to the FFB2. Even if a game doesn't have force feedback support, the motor-centring action is still way better than anything made by CH or Thrustmaster; and you can use utilities like SimFFB to adjust your centring force, friction, and damping.
Alternatively, gut an old Thrustmaster FLCS or FCS and replace the pots with hall effect sensors, and drive the whole thing with MMjoy.

>>135215969
You get training missions for free with the module. There's also manuals (both official and fanmade) and videos on youtube that you can use.
>>135216340
I'm still waiting on a military flight school, myself. The thing is, if you're going to fly, military's honestly the best way to go about it, in the states at least.

>>135222482
The B-36 deserves a special place in history for its uniquely troubled history, though.
It was slow, in spite of its massive size the crew compartments were cramped, its engines were obsolete when they rolled off the production line and caught fire on the regular, it was maintenance-heavy, it was considered too vulnerable and fragile to be used in combat over Korea, and was relegated to high-altitude reconnaissance missions, it was so expensive its development interfered with the procurement of aircraft carriers, and in the event of a nuclear war a flight to attack the Soviet Union would be a one-way trip, as it didn't have the combat radius to make it back to the states.

Huey is a very stick and rudder experience, and is a lot of fun to fly in general. It doesn't have as powerful weapons as the Hip, but it does have door gunners and miniguns on flex mounts which makes it very effective at destroying light armor and infantry groups.
The Hip is a much more powerful and heavy helicopter though, and can carry more powerful weapons. It's harder to fly than the Huey at first because its hard to get used to the autopilot system, but is much easier and more forgiving after you get the hang of it.
The Kamov is a CAS heli and can't carry troops, but it can sling load cargo like the Huey and Hip.
It's up to you but if its your first heli I would probably go for the Huey and use that to learn.
>>135232331
The steam page still has no multiplayer listed for whatever reason.
>>135232264

>>135227140
The turbojets were added because they were worried the plane was too slow flying over a target area, once they were added they were only operated during takeoff, climbs to high alt and to zoom over a target, otherwise they were shut down and just ran on the prop engines. There was as I understand alot of politics involved with the B-36 and that it was a huge waste of money with the advent of the jet age.
>>135234760
Flying in sims is actually harder than IRL since you have worse visibility and you have no sense of motion. Can't use your sense of balance to keep a heli in a hover in DCS.
>>135234760
What
>>135235261
said, sim-helicopter flying is actually harder than flying IRL. I can pinnacle and slope-land in real life without any problem and hold a hover to within inches of a spot, but pinnacles and slopes are next to impossible in sims and holding a steady hover is harder without depth perception. Plus, there's the whole "seat of your pants flying" thing that goes out the window, as a huge part of flying is the sense of movement you get in your body from the aircraft moving through the air, and a lot of audio cues are missing, too; you can hear if your rotor RPM is too high or too low before the light goes on, and that's not as much of a factor in sims.

Its fucking insane. Its thrust to weight is so crazy good, it goes into a full flat spin like 1500 feet off the ground, and just recovers in a second and goes vertical effortlessly.

If you've never played against humans you're likely in for a rude awakening no matter how good you are at fighting the AI. There's a ton of things that you can do against the AI and they don't react differently, and a ton of things players do to you that the AI doesn't.
If you at least know how to use all the F-15's radar modes and pointing it places then you'll have the systems knowledge needed. The rest comes with practice. Most people don't fly with TS in airquake anyway so it's whatever. If you're good, you'll be fine.
Though it's definitely easier if you're flying with a buddy.
>>135242859
Last year was good, RCAF & USN did Hornet demos, both were fantastic, and the F-22 was the craziest thing I've ever seen.

>>135245782
Its ok it only left beta about 2 or 3 weeks ago
>>135245540
I have a question about how the stick and throttle work. Normally in aircraft with two sets of flight controls moving one set will cause the other set to move as well, right? So how does it work in the L39 since there's no way to sync up the controls for both players?
>>135246061
There are settings in the mission editor to customize how you want that handled.
Pilot Priority: Front Seat can take control at any time. Instructor has to ask for controls.
Instructor Priority: Instructor can take control at any time but if the student wants control the instructor has to approve first.
Ask Always: Taking control always requires confirmation by the player in control of the aircraft.
Equally Responsible: Both players can take control at will.
>>135246061
>>135246551
Now how well the syncing works comes down to latency obviously, this is something they will continue to tune as I believe multiseat is a big thing moving forward with DCS.
Is the huey weapons training broken? It tells you to move to the side door gunner position, but it doesn't work--possibly because there is no side gunner on the helicopter.
>>135247607
It seems so, you would have to either edit the mission yourself or rearm and add gunners.
>>135247854
Damn, I was really enjoying that. Flying the huey is like trying to balance a spinning plate while riding a bike without handlebars. The best part is the bike has chainguns that you direct with you head.
>>135247854
Also, is there a good way to get a decent perspective on the switches? Looking at everything from a 30 degree angle is a bit annoying, particularly for the knobs which block their own labels.
>>135248093
Headtracking?
>>135248172
Yes, in the co-pilot's station you can direct the guns with your headtracking.
>>135248093
I don't fly the huey alot but I have everything I need bound to my HOTAS, and i dont have any issues during startup just using trackir, you could look into snap views if the huey has them?
>>135248342
It might just be a headtracking issue. As of right now, my pilot moves his head left and right about 4", which is not enough to get a new perspective on things.
>>135248485
Then you better spend some time properly setting the shit up.
>>135248485
Fuck around with your trackIR settings, that's not a problem with the ingame settings.
>>135248485
Yep what other have said you might have to delve into headtracking settings, its a pain in the ass and can take a long time but you will be happier for doing it.

>>135250120

>>135250609
They didn't want any more parts ending up in Iranian hands.
Interesting that once Iran lost the supply chain for the F-14 due to US embargo; they offered to sell the entire fleet to Canada for pennies on the dollar. Canada's involvement in the Hostage Crisis ended up killing the deal. I can only imagnie that if that deal had gone through, we'd have Tomcats patrolling the Arctic to this day.

That's a Lake LA-4, was on the FAA registry, listed as exported, but there is no export date.

Oh and the LA-4 is a pusher, which is why it looks like it has no prop in that pic.
>>135252162
>Doubt someone would go to such a large expense to leave it derelict.
It's Russia, if it was imported pre-1991 DOSAAF mayn't have enough money to support it though. But I'm pretty sure this one is flying since it doesn't look abandoned.
>>135252247
>Oh and the LA-4 is a pusher, which is why it looks like it has no prop in that pic.

Hope you guys are hype for my hardest mission yet.
Next major op for DCS will be night time CSAR ops.
Lets set the date for this Friday at 21:00 UTC.
The op includes the following aircraft:
Huey, Hip, Ka-50, A-10A, A-10C, Su-25T, Su-25A, M-2000C, P-51, and TF-51.
The Mirage and Su-25T/A will require night vision mods you can find here:
Mirage: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/1741266/
Su-25T/A: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1697785&postcount=5
If you wish to join give me a (you) so I can estimate how many people are gonna fly.
Make sure you read up on your guides and if you are flying the Huey or Hip read up on the radio navigation.

GET IN TS BEFORE THAT TIME SO WE KNOW HOW MANY WE HAVE
>>135253568
Isn't the TF-51 completely unarmed?
>>135253568
I could go there, though I'm not sure what to pick, Huey despite I'm shit with it, or Su-25A/T. Also, what will TF-51 do since it doesn't have any arms?
>>135254021
Yeah it's for freefags who wanna scout out enemy positions.
>>135253568
I can come meme in the Blackshark.
Is it gonna be a long ass flight?
>>135254097
Freefags can do something useful in a Su-25T
>>135254142
It's around a 240km round trip, but my goal was to make the flying not be monotonous while you're on your way. That means you're going to be shot at, and that in combination with the less than stellar conditions makes it a really tough mission.
>>135254194

>>135258191
Did you know that one of the very first concepts that would later on become the F-14 was almost exactly like the abomination you posted?
>>135253568
IMO you should place a hard cap on the number of fixed wing assets (within reason) or you'll see about 3 people flying helos.
Anyway, I'll fly Huey as usual.
>>135181216
I don't think it's just about content.
The lighting improvements were nice in A3 but there was something about modded A2 that just looked great and A3 hasn't been able to reproduce.
Probably because most of what A3 has is all ugly ported shit.
>>135260205
Arma modders truly are the most incompetent.
Building airbases from scratch is more fun than it has any right to be.
>>135260367

>>135262038
L-39 & Mi-8 are reasonably discounted on kinguin if that helps. M2K probably will be too when it is released on steam.
>>135261258
Not soon enough.
>>135262108
It's cheaper for me to buy on Steam, 17$ for Baguette on from site, 11$ for L-39 and 8$ for Hip, but still that's a lot of money here. So I guess I'll stick with the Huey

Fuck off with that shit. If you are really interested in flying then you will be proficient regardless of being a wage slave or not.
Who /cheese/ here?
>>135266468
Relax, dude, I was just supposing.
And being able to complete a mission and complete mission effectively is two different things.
>>135266960
Honest question, how does trackIR work? If you tilt your head to the side you won't see the screen anymore...?
>>135267469
You only have to move a little bit.
>>135267469
You don't need to have a 1:1 scale, you can tweak the curves as you see fit.
>>135267526
So it's really sensitive and you look over your shoulder all the times by accident? If you lower the sens you have to tilt the head more. Even looking away from your screen ever so slightly reduces vision by a lot.
It seems flawed no matter what. A VR headset sounds like the best solution to me.
>>135267654
It's not hard, dude. You can look over your shoulder by putting your head at perhaps 45 degrees to the screen.
>>135267654
Maybe if you want a resolution so bad you can't read your cockpit instruments yeah, in that case VR is the way to go
>>135267595
Update your shit.
>>135267654
it's as sensitive as you want it to be, this isn't hard to understand. But I'm sure you realise that really.
>>135267654
Sure but trackIR is cheaper and works with an existing monitor and adds pretty much zero overhead and has been around for years. VR will probably be better eventually but for now it's pretty flawed. TrackIR isn't as bad as you make it seem either, once you set it up well to your liking you can very accurately control the camera and it starts to feel completely natural.
>>135267806
Oh jee thanks annon now i have to redo my profile because naturalpoint a shit.
>>135267654
I tend to have my curves set up so that when I'm facing the edge of my monitor, thats the camera looking over my shoulder. It works pretty well and unless you're prone to twitches that make your head move 30-45 degrees you won't be accidentally doing anything.
I've used DCS (and other games) with a DK2 and unless the CV1 (or Vive) is a spectacular leap in resolution and clarity, and from all reports I've read it's not, then I just can't see it being a practical way to fly in DCS. Or any flight sim, really. DCS in particular is heavily reliant on raw pixel density and that's VR's greatest problem right now.
I think it'll be at least one generation of headsets before you start to reach parity with monitors.
Come on mang, I need muh MiG-28.

Some of them are fine and some of them are autistic nonstop memespouting children and ops is usually a race to the AO to dump all your weapons on the target and then brag about having the most kills.
>>135269227
>ops is usually a race to the AO to dump all your weapons on the target and then brag about having the most kills.
I resent that this is sometime true, it's more or less up to the mission maker as to if that happens or not.
Basically the more structure the mission has, the less dumb fuckery occurs. I'm now convinced that organisation is more or less always a good thing, people who say it's autistic just aren't mature enough to be flying imo.
I'm pretty busy this week but I have a few decent mission ideas that I'll try and get ready for this weekend.
Time to learn how to fly a Mi-8. Managed my first landing, But I guess it's not good enough for ops
>>135269659
You should be able to learn to generally fly around and use the weapons of any aircraft in DCS in 1 day.

Yes it is but some people don't have the patience for it, that bundy occupation mission we did a while back was a step in the right direction with flights in their own channels and whisper lists with a human ground forces controller/jtac but even then some people just couldn't contain themselves and had to constantly broadcast to all flights irrelevant shit flooding comms and turning it into a fucking mess.
>>135269227
That sounds all around terrible. You can have "fun" ops with memes once in a while but I prefer actual missions.
Also the race part in particular is horrible. Any good tactical simulation should not allow this. I hate to say this but BMS does it really well. Rushing into the AO will get you killed everytime.
>>135270550
I wasn't pretending to be anyone lad, don't be so paranoid.Even if it's understandable in this thread.
>>135270726
>Yes it is but some people don't have the patience for it,
They just need to learn, I remember what you mean and there's no reason they can't just behave themselves. It's just a case of making more missions like that.Also despite how autistic it sounds, if you put someone in charge of the package to coordinate assets it really fucking helps.

TMS up (lock target)
TMS down (unlock target)
DMS down (switch sensor of interest)
Radar cursor slew up/down/left/right
You'll have to use the keyboard for the rest, falcon has no modifiers I believe. Also this is the absolute minimum, you'll have to use keyboard shortcuts for everything else. I suggest you write down and memorise these. I have mine bound differently, so I don't know what they are.
Radar antenna elevate up/down
NWS/ AR DISC / MSL STEP key (nosewheel steering on ground, in air short push cycles selected missile rail, long push changes missile type) - default Shift /
SLAP SWITCH (fires a flare and a chaff)- default S
TMS right (cycle FCR contacts)
If youre intending to play BMS tonight, make sure you know how to fly with your controlset beforehand. I can offer marginal help before the event (I'm not a BMS expert myself) but by event time you need to be on point with your stuff.
>>135282416
What's the skill level of the guys in your BMS ops? Not sure if I'm ready yet. Are you all pros?
>>135280320
Do you not have hobbies at all? Do you live in a shoebox?
>>135282427
Silly BIS, you don't hold the carrying handle while shooting.
>>135282793
If the DCS ops are anything to go by, hardly any of us are "pros".
I might be wrong about the BMS dudes though.
>>135283079
I just remember someone recruiting for BMS ops once said you have to be an active duty air force pilot to make it.
>>135283079
Im a pro gods plane pilot.
>>135282416
I fly with it perfectly fine. People are usually surprised that I fly with this, concidering how proficient I am. The lack of modifiers really makes it a pain in the ass. Biggest problem is the lack of being able to set a deadzones and curves, though.
>>135260951
That section was the roomiest, and the picture makes it look a lot bigger than it is; I'm a manlet, 5'6" 150lbs and I found it cramped.
Still, crawling around in a B-17 was really fucking cool.
>>135282416
Falcon had one modifier key but it's not easy to set up and can't be done in game.
>>135283661
I think falcon devs were ultimate jews.
>we wont give them modifier keys, so that the stupid goym have to buy really expensive joysticks.
>>135282793
Youre probably ready. Just make sure you can fly, land, use the radio and know how to fulfill your role, which will be either shooting the AIM120, the HARM, or dropping GBUs. You can find answers on employment of each at:
Falcon BMS 4.33\Docs\Falcon BMS Manuals\TO-BMS1F-16CM-34-1-1.pdf
Page 129, Chapter 1.12.6: AMRAAM FCR Symbology and Page 133,Chapter 2: Air to Air Combat

Page 186, Chapter 3.4: Inertially Aided Munitions and more specifically Chapters 3.4.6 (Focus on JDAM), 3.4.7, and 3.4.11 to 3.4.15
>>135283538
I am not the one you are arguing with and yes A3 looks very good but it has similar issues as DCS.
The 32but tech is aged as shit and performance suffers because of it, just look at the MP. The maps are too small for any real fixed wing action. The ground vehicles could have had advanced FCS simulated already but the only thing they do is port shit from previous games. The list goes on but we shouldn't discuss this here since this is not the correct thread.
>>135283661
To be clear I mean joystick modifier keys. You can use shift, control, and alt to your hearts content, but there's only one joystick shift key state.
Let's go over the rules for bms ops
>no memes
>you must refer to your leader by his rank
>you must complete mandatory training first before ops
>you must write a 3 paragraph essay on how BMS is better than dcs
>any person who dosent use radio terms while communicating will be kicked unitll they learn how to speak correctly
>you must call out your landings and takeoffs or you will be kicked
>any person who asks for help with their plane will be kicked unitll they read the manual 3 times and have their parent sign off a checklist and email it to me
>ranks will be assigned and will be adjusted based on good or bad behaviour
>anyone who breaks the rules are going to be insta banned
Come join and Have fun guys!
>>135283960
I am just afraid that everyone else in the flight is gonna be way better than me at everything.
How would you rate the other guys so I can compare myself to that?
So BMS doesn't have god-tier modifiers support like DCS, is it possible to use something like AutoHotKey or vjoy?

Unlike the BMS fags, we all are over 18 (except gerg) and have responsibility's.
You need to be a turbo NEET to give this much of a fuck over an ops that only two people participate in.
>>135285619
You may meme, but 90% of this list is the actual shit that goes on in some "communities" in various simulators.
>>135285756
The people that play are competent, but we aren't virtual flight wing-tier competent. Don't worry you'll fit right in.

Yea fuck BMS ops. The server is full of Minecraft kiddies and they just come here to shitpost.
Add BMS to list of non-welcome games when?
>>135285874
I suppose you can do anything if you use programs like AutoHotKey, but no, its control binding isn't as robust as DCS. Nothing is.
DCS is an anomaly in how amazing and well thought out its binding system and interface are. I wish all flight sims had control binding like DCS.
>>135286878
Is the one with the big-(for you) fins a Harpoon? What's the one next to the bomb?

It is due to 2 main reasons:
1) fuel energy is per unit mass, not volume, so we care how much matter is left, not how much space it takes
2) volume is dependent on temp, but mass is not.
Can I play with a thrustmaster 16000m?
I'm at an electronics store right now and it's only $19.99 with my discount
>>135289134
Lots of people play with just that, you might find the more complex aircraft to be pure suffering but it's workable.
>>135289134
Should have specified I want to play either bms or dcs
>>135289134
Yes you can, that's a great price for a stick with hall effect sensors.
If you need more buttons on the grip, the T16000m is a great base for modding. You could go crazy later and use MMjoy to control a different grip (Thrustmaster FLCS or Suncom F-15).
>>135288638
Reason why trashtalkers exsist is actually lack of new content in the thread

Playing BMS or DCS:A-10C with a single hat switch and no headtracking will make you want to kill yourself.
Other DCS modules you will survive if you're prepared to use modifiers and the keyboard for some functions.

You are replying to Cephei, he pulled the same shit over at BromA and a3g where no one liked him and no one wanted to play with him (hence he mostly never played ops) but he was defending himself on 4chinz pretending to be some 3rd guy playing with him. Then he rose to moderator or admin and started banning everyone he didn't like and forcing his shit mod down our throats. The retard did a supersonic boom mod for the A-10 in A2 even when we told him that the thing doesn't go that fast.
Welcome to /a3g/ by the way.

Although they have tons of fancy settings if you really want to go all out with them, you can typically just treat SDBs like a regular JDAM. They're awesome weapons though and probably my favorite "bomb" in BMS because you can carry 8 of them and they're enough to kill any ground units short of a tank. They're excellent for wiping out SAM sites once you take out the radar.

A witness from another aircraft stated that “from the aft edge of the wing back there was one giant fireball." Pulling negative G's I used the lower handle to pull myself back into the seat and initiate the ejection. My WSO Lt. Tony Kito and I both ejected safely. One big thank you.

I tried track hat and it didn't work well for me. The damn thing refused to clip on to my headset and the PS3 camera kept falling of my monitor. I couldn't get it to calibrate properly either.

the 'hat' part of the name means it is supposed to go on a hat.
>>135334387
WHERES THE PROOF?
>>135334357
>That's a $10 mount
Never mind a mount, my computer is angled awkwardly so even taping the damn thing to the bezel didn't help much. The room's light kept interfering with the PS3 eye's tracking. Could I get around it if I kept trying? Probably, but I'm fucking stupid and lazy so I'm just going to buy a track. I've wasted enough time trying to get it started as is, I don't think I can manage another go, I just want something that works.
The headset clip I bought was from the trackhat website, I didn't care for the hat taking up another USB slot.
Okay so ops were cancelled because none of you NA dudes turned up at 0045 as posted, so we had a few flights fucking around with little substance, but some training came out of it.
Regarding ops, unfortunately it seems that demand for BMS ops is much lower than I expected.Currently it is most likely I will lower the frequency of organised BMS ops to one a week or one every two weeks.
ACMI tapes:
https://linx.li/lernin2sdb.acmi
https://linx.li/oca.acmi
>>135335763
Tape is inferior to an actual mount. My monitor has a weird shape too, but a mount for the pseye is still able to work since it's more a big clip than anything else. If light is a problem, take the 10 minutes to remove the IR filter and tape some film to the front of the camera. I literally have a lamp behind me and my pseye sees nothing of it.
>>135336507
If you upload a binding profile for the 3d pro I'll download BMS and learn it. As it is, DCS has a lower barrier for entry so I'm spending my training hours there.
>>135335356
proofs?
>>135336740
Setting up the controls is actually much easier I expected. Hop into the /simg/ TS and I'll help you out.
>>135336740
I don't own a 3d pro. Besides, setting up the stick takes around 20-30 minutes max. Refer to >>135282416. But I'll grant you, BMS has a far steeper learning curve.
>>135335763
Track IR is affected even more by light than a ps3 eye cam fyi
>>135336554
I wish I had this conversation before I sent everything back. As for the IR filter, according to the webpage, it was already removed, it still kept trying to track the lights behind me. Thanks for the help anyway, I might just try to DIY something myself.
>>135337854
I'm not getting the trackir at this point. If I can't DIY a proper headtracking solution, I'm just going to wait for VR to get better.
>>135338590
Move your lights so they bounce off of walls and aren't in the FOV of the camera, maybe put a shade over them and that might be enough

Removing the IR filter will make the camera more sensitive to the lights. The point is, however, that you add a visible filter (exposed film) to the front of the camera. This new filter will preferentially block what's coming from your ambient surrounding without cutting down on the intensity of your IR LEDs (either on your track clip, hat, or IR source you have shining on your face from near your camera). When I first tried it out, my track clip LEDs looked really weak compared to the background lamp. After removing the IR filter and adding my own visible filter, the reverse is true and head tracking working flawlessly.

You're gonna be waiting a long time famalan, unless you want to shill out at least 600 freedom bucks. And possibly a PC upgrade.

And that's assuming CV1 and Vive will be high enough resolution to play DCS effectively.They won't be.
