>>136122998
Okay, but why does it say;
Digital Combat Simulator World (DCS World) is a free-to-play digital battlefield, focusing on military aircraft simulation. It includes a FREE TF-51D and an Su-25T attack aircraft.
http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/world/alpha/
Does this means that all modules have to be re-purchased for 2.0? Or are there new modules for 2.0?
REEEOOOO
DE TCHANEIIIIROOO
>>136138176
2.0 is the new version of DCS, it is currently in alpha whilst the Georgia map is ported to the new terrain engine and therefore only has the NTTR terrain for now.
When that is complete, 1.5 & 2.0 will merge into one version with the free Georgie map & the payware NTTR on one .exe.
All your modules are usable on both versions and don't / won't need to be re-bought.
>>136139248
Okay, so right now I can try the new terrain for free in the Alpha while they are porting the east block-map to a new engine, but when the engine and 2.0 is finished I will have to pay for the new sand/NA terrain?
Then why are people saying it cost too much, when it's free right now? Okay, maybe in the future it will cost too much, but not right now, if it's free, right?
>>136140741
Sand is basically an alpha test/preorder right now.
You have to pay to fly on Nevada.
>>136140741
Sand is $60 and has always been $60. You must buy it if you want to play the 2.0 alpha and you can only play it on the alpha. You can play the georgia map for free on 1.5 stable or 1.5 beta. Eventually DCS stable will be upgraded to 2.0 and both maps will be playable on the same 2.0, but Georgia will still be free and sand will still be $60 or possibly more.
>>136143105
It was actually 40-something bucks for a while last year.

why are coaxial rotors so unpopular? I realise the increased mechanical complexity is a disadvantage, but it seems strange that Kamov is essentially the only ones to use the design, despite the seeming success they've had with it

Helicopters are already spending every moment trying to fall out of the sky, you want to add MORE things that could fail into it?

>>136166020
In the US at least, they were never pursued in military endeavors due to safety concerns, namely that counter-rotating blades could collide due to flexing torsion under hard or unusual maneuvers, which humorously led them to pursuing canted rotors and other weird shit that was actually more dangerous to fly.
we totally still had a few though https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyrodyne_RON_Rotorcycle
So I'm working on a new op.

>want to get into DCS
>closest I've gotten to sim is easymode version of BoS for an hour or two
How hard is it to get into DCS
>>136171874
most of it is rote memorization
>>136168837
>>136168470
So I'm thinking of adding a few extra flyables to this op for addedentertainment.
There's a Russian Flyables mod that adds: the following (disregarding the 6 non-combat aircraft it adds):
>MiG-23MLD
>MiG-25PD
>MiG-27K
>MiG-31
>Su-17M4
>Su-24M
>Su-30
>Su-34
All these sound great but the mod is kinda shit and many of the cockpit placements are retarded, so I'm going through and modifying them myself so they are actually functional. For example in the Su-24 its impossible to see the SHVAL in the HUD Repeater screen in the Su-27 cockpit it uses so I changed the position so its visible again.
Anyway, probably only going to add an Su-24 or 2 and maybe something else, depending on what people want. The Su-24 will mainly be for pinpoint strikes and SEAD called for by the choppers.
And I know you're gonna say something like:
>required mods
>REEEEE
But this isn't required and frankly an A-10C or Su-25T will probably do a much better job but itsfunto fly something that isn't one of the currently available modules.
Also I'll probably start adding more stuff like this to ops because frankly I'm getting bored of waiting around for more modules to come out.

>>136185061
How exactly does someone tell if the FM is wrong or not? What exactly do people expect with a better FM?
>>136185562
The FM of the F-15 is fine, by all accounts it's very good. By full module people mean full systems modeling.
>>136185562
Not seeming like it's on scripted rails is the biggest factor. Meeting performance numbers is the other part that's more the realm of autists.
>>136185676
>scripted rails
Is there tests or known breaks in the FM I can do atm?
>>136185808
There's nothing wrong with the FM atm...
Don't talk to me or my son ever again.
>>136181918
soon
>>136185854
I thought you were talking in general. The F-15s flight model is fine and arguably one of the best in DCS depending in how seriously you take the term PFM. Fly the MiG-29 or Su-33 if you want an example of a plane with a shitty flight model. Their ground handling and transition between on the ground and in the air are especially weird because the whole thing is scripted.
>>136185808
The FM is excellent, if you are a super autist you may notice some edge of envelope nitpicks.
>>136186313
Because they haven't had their flight models updated yet, is this hard to understand?
That's why they aren't sold as separate modules, when they get FM updates they will be sold separately as well.
I want to start FSX again but I don't want to fly without a purpose. Has anyone tried FSEconomy?
>>136186994
I'm not sure what you're trying to argue anymore. Of course they're old and shitty, it's why I used them as an example of what an old and shitty flight model is like.
The F-15C flight model is perfectly fine.

Background: Iranian aircraft have hit and sank one US Frigate, damaged another, and sank two Kuwaiti oil tankers two days previously. In order to protect the tankers and allied naval forces in the Persian Gulf, the US launches Operation Righteous Fury.
>BLUFOR: Flying F-14Bs, F/A-18Cs, A-6E Intruders from two carriers must strike Iranian land- and sea-based A2A and A2S missile platforms (both shore installations and ships), airfields, and CnC and communications posts.
>REDFOR: Flying F-14Bs (for balance) and F-5s, with AI F-4 Phantom II's for balance as needed. REDFOR must defend its airfields and CnC facilities while attempting to sink the US carriers.
FUCK can it be a year from now already?
>>136198996
I guess it you wanted to have the factions F-14s be different, you'd have USN F-14B with AIM-7M and the Iranians go full retard with the AIM-54A on their F-14As
>>136198996
>>136177307
After some testing I decided to go with an outside cockpit of possible, the double cockpit looks weird on most planes.
>>136199942
I'd be okay with sacrificing a LITTLE realism for the sake of a balanced mission, hence giving the Iranians the -B when historically they only had -As at the time. The question is balancing a mission like that.
It might actually work better if the human players on the OpFor side act more like aggressor pilots, where their job is not necessarily to "win" the mission but rather provide more of a challenge to the US side than the AI could provide.
>>136200709
It's only really the human pilots that will care about the different between A & B I think, the AI will likely treat them identically since most of the improvements the A+/B offered are abstracted when the AI flies the jet.
Do the Iranians have any MiG-21bis? Perhaps captured from the Iraqis like their Mirage F1 fleet.
>>136201004
All I can find is this:
>The Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force (IRIAF) was formed from the Imperial Iranian Air Force (IIAF) after the Islamic Revolution of 1979 that ousted Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlevi. During and after the war with Iraq, which raged from September 1980 to August 1988, Iran tried to rebuild its stock of aircraft and in 1989 purchased 12 MiG-21 PFs and a number of MiG-21 UMs from East Germany but the aircraft were impounded at the repair plant in Dresden and none were delivered. (Some sources suggest 2 arrived in Iran but this is doubtful.) Photos exist of a MiG-21 PF and a MiG-21 UM wearing green/tan desert camouflage but no insignia whatsoever.
>18 Chengdu F-7Ms were ordered in 1985 and delivered in 1987; some sources suggest the number was 21. Additionally, four Guizhou FT-7 trainers were procured at the same time. Understandably there was great secrecy about this order as China was already supplying large numbers of F-7s to Iraq.
>Based at TAB 5, Umidiyeh, they serve with 51, 52 and 53 Tactical Fighter Squadrons and wear tan/bluish grey camouflage. No confirmation has been found for a story in circulation suggesting that 12 were successfully used in the Iraqi war thanks to their similarity to the enemy’s MiG-21 s, nor that a further 100 were subsequently ordered.
>However, the delivery in 1993 of 18 F-7Ns and seven FT-7 trainers, and five more in 1996 have been recorded.
>It has also been suggested that the Air Force wing of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) also use this fighter.

So....maybe?
>>136201341
Well maybe not even "maybe", but I wonder if the F-7M and the MiG-21bis are comparable enough that the MiG can serve as a stand-in without seeming out of place.
I hope we get at least one airbase quite deep inside Iran in the SoH, sort of like Tonopah AFB when it makes its way into NTTR,

F-7M meaning Chengdu F-7 (now called a J-7 for some reason).
>>136202657
Would throwing a MiG-21Bis in with F-14s and F-5s against F-14s, F-18s, and A-6s be unbalanced? I'm not nearly as concerned with historical accuracy as I am with mission balance.
>>136205082
If you're so concerned give Iran some Mig-29s.
They basically recieved all of Iraq's airforce during the 1991 Gulf War. That includes Mig-29s, Su-25s, and Mig-21s.
If you wanted it to be historically accurate, just set the mission after 1991, and make sure you use Mig-29A, not S.
>>136206032
Actually thats a pretty good idea.

>>136207230
What kind of retard country attacks a US ship?
>>136205082
Depends if it's a purely PvP mission, itf it's versus AI then the balancing is done via numbers not equipment. And as >>136206032 said, in a 90s scenario the Iranian AF inventory is hugely wide ranging and includes more or less everything we have in DCS.
>>136177223
Well, that limits my ability to get sand.
Thankfully the reinstall worked, and I didn't need to reactivate the modules I already have. Still no idea why it did it in the first place.
>>136205082
If the mission maker is wise about it and has the 21s & F-5s flying ambush style tactics of course they're a threat to A-6s and even bomb laden F-18s if they make it to the merge.

FC3?
>>136212657
If you want value for money get the Ka-50 or A-10C, both have plenty of systems to learn and content to play.
>>136212846
Are there any drawbacks to FC3 versus the other planes that cost just as much as the pack? I can't imagine it being that cheap without reason.
>>136212878
>A-10C
I'm really debating this one. Dat glorious BRRRRT
>>136213691
The FC3 planes are not full fidelity modules. They are like the free Su-25T.
All the other full price modules that have names in the style of DCS:'name' are study sims with clickable cockpits and fully modeled systems.
>>136213691
they are like the SU, no clickable cockpits and simpler systems modeling, of course on the su25A and A-10A it doesn't matter much.
>>136213691
The planes' systems aren't as complex, and afaik only the F-15C has a PFM, the Su-27/33 and MiG-29 are still SFM.
>>136211798
You might as well have your copilot fire a rpg out the window
>>136214057
t.F-15 Fag
the su-27 has a PFM.
>>136214057
Su-27 also has PFM. A-10A has PFM identical to that of A-10C.
Su-25 has the AFM, which is modified from that of the Su-25t
>>136214057
>>136214014
>>136213924
>no clickable cockpits
Fukken dropped. Literally my favorite part of FSX.
A-10C it is.
>>136214235
Funnily enough the 25s have the best damage modeling out of any plane in DCS.
>>136214057
>>136213691
FC3 planes flight models are as follows:
PFM: (professional fight model based on input from pilots who've flown the plane for real)
F-15C
Su-27
AFM: (advanced flight model based on a variety of sources from official documents to fluid dynamics simulations)
A-10A
Su-25
Su-25T
SFM: (standard flight model that the engine automatically generates based on the aircraft's 3d model, these aircraft are scheduled to receive a PFM in future)
Su-33
MiG-29
MiG-29S
>>136214556
Gee it's really hard to be correct isnt it?
A10A is PFM
>>136214696
Source?
I've heard people say the A & C use the same FM but I haven't ever seen ED say that and it certainly doesn't feel like it.
>>136214556
>>136214696
Guys just post a link to the thread on the forum that explains the flight models and be done with it.
>>136214556
>standard flight model that the engine automatically generates based on the aircraft's 3d model, these aircraft are scheduled to receive a PFM in future
Nope. SFM is based on performance sheets and scripting when you depart the flight envelope. Basically like any other early 2000s flight sim.

What are you a Aeronautics engineer?
It is PFM though
DCS aircraft have PFM
>>136214862
It would make sense, given that the only differences between the A & C are systems and avionics. The airframes and engines are the same.
>>136214696
It's kind of embarrassing watching you try and correct people who are right.

It got it in 2013 afaik.
>>136215078
>What are you a Aeronautics engineer?
Yes.
>>136215095
PFM involves systems modeling with it as well.
The a10A having some of the stuff removed from the A-10C bumps it down to AFM/+.
since dual stage trigger doesn't work on the A-10A for example
>>136215396
>The a10A having some of the stuff removed from the A-10C bumps it down to AFM/+.
Not how it works. Systems modeling is classified separately from flight modeling.

You should really learn to read before you act so smug.
>>136214927
my bad famalam
>>136215559
But the A-10C has
• Realistic simulation of Flight Control, CAS and Autopilot systems.
• Realistic simulation of Hydraulics, Fuel, Electrical, Engine and other systems influence flight characteristics.
The A10A doesn't
>>136216331
I dont understand why they wouldn't just copy/paste the Hydraulic and Engine systems simulation from the C, literally the only difference between the A & C is the avionics and electronics systems. The "nuts and bolts" are all the same.
Anyone wants to fly hard dprk bms ?
>>136216331
Which would all full under Advanced SYSTEMS modeling like the A-10C has. Flight model is measured categorized separately.

That is part of the PFM
Does the vanilla campaign in BMS get harder after the first day? All of the Nork air defense was BTFO in the first day and now it seems to just be bombing whatever I want freely.
So why haven't the guys at BMS formed an LLC or something to bring a dynamic campaign and/or the F-16 to DCS? They have to know they'd make a shitload of money off that. Are they really all "Free as in Freedom #Bernie2016" linux people?
>>136217245
The A-10A has an AFM and simplified systems. There is no argument or ambiguity here. If you have issues with what defines those terms then take it up with ED where they will be happy to not give a shit what anybody thinks.
Kira pls b in 104th later tonight
you too Fin.
>>136217660
I'm talking about the A-10C it was implied that it doesn't have PFM which it does.

http://www.bmsforum.org/forum/showthread.php?26408-4-33-1-will-release-shortly-what-you-need-to-know-and-how-to-be-prepared
Long story short you'll need a legit patched copy of Falcon 4.0maybe, anyway.
The next release which will be version 4.33.1 incorporates two kinds of changes:
1. Fixes and updates to the Falcon BMS content based on bug reports and other inputs to the team; and
2. Some changes specifically related to the agreement with Tommo.
Its over, they will implement botnet shit into bms so the new copyright owner can datamine you and sell ads

I don't play BMS or know in depth the whole situation with this new publisher but it sounds like a bunch of copyright vulture bullshit.
