>not wanting to split up /simg/ unintentionally and other reasons, so here's a reminder
The discord channel is used for discussing modding, scripting, server, and ,at this moment, Mercs.
Keep the general banter and VOIP on TS
Is this the thread where delusional BMS fanboys come in and say things about their sim that are disproven by the very .webms they're always posting for attention?
I don't want any part of that.

At least Blue now has to deal with the same shit that happens to us every time we fire on one of their lagging asses.
The AIM-7 is fine. The netcode is broken.
>>144287483

Don't worry, you'll manage to do just that by setting up multiple servers rather than just using different channels of one server like a normal person.

Okay.
My pack with the new texture DLC, DCS Desert 3.0, and DCS Vietnam set up with the in-game terrain switcher menu mod has FINALLY been uploaded. Read the readme.

I think that post was pointing out that the issue extends beyond the AIM-7, anon, maybe one of us has our reading comprehension fucked up, though.

I just think it's hilarious that they're now acting like they don't care.
I guess hundreds of posts in these threads over the last 3 months doesn't mean a fucking thing, and the way they made asses out of themselves while getting shitted on had nothing to do with any measurable amount of assmad.
>>144293801
But it's really nothing to get mad about. it's a videogame
So to those of you that fly the Ka-50 regularly: do you fly with the flight director on, or do you just let the autopilot do it for you?
If I'm flying higher than contour flight and I don't expect to get shot at, I turn off FD and let the helo fly itself. Lower down, or with any kind of credible threat nearby, FD is on so I'm not fighting the autopilot.
>>144295874
Autopilot is great for transit and hover holds. If you're going to be doing lots of manoeuvring just stick it in flight director, holding the trim button constantly gets uncomfortable after a while.
>>144295874
Flight director as in autopilot?
I just trim it and fly towards the target, when threats come up or I fence in I just keep adjusting trim as necessary, normally into a hover and I maneuver as I need to
>>144295874
>do you fly with the flight director on
yup
>or do you just let the autopilot do it for you?
never, FD makes it so easy you've no real need for AP most of the time.
>>144295874
Don't fly around with the FD all the time, it overrides the autopilots and you can't use the other nifty things, the FD is useful as a back up mode, or when doing gun runs and rocket runs.
If you are fighting the autopilots learn how the work.
>>144288194
Wouldn't we have to make another pack for the eventual /simg/flag server?
>>144301246
>eventual /simg/flag server?
>he thinks that's even a good idea
I mean, a /simg/ public server is a fair idea. But there are far more interesting ideas than just making a laggy bluefag clone no-one will play on.
>>144301416
What do you suggest then?
>>144301503
If you wanted a simg public server, why not just be a server that actually runs accessible missions that still have more depth than airquake?
A while ago I experimented with a capture zones mission where helicopters had to drop off infantry to capture small sectors a few miles apart from each other. Like a mission that MDsim used to run, which was some of the most fun I've had on a drop-in server.
It was back when I was hoping when the F-5 dropped /simg/ could pounce and make a space for ourselves as a 3rd gen server with actual interesting missions.
F-5E, F-86, UH-1H, Gazelle & Hawk =vs= MiG-21, MiG-15, Mi-8, Gazelle & L-39ZA
desu I think a server where these planes got a chance to fly ground attack without feeling pointless could be popular. Normally when an A-10 can clear an entire town in seconds, there's no incentive to fly shitwagons.
>>144302184
Doesn't sound bad, but mercenary themed /simg/flag would be baller if we could get it to work AND not lag/desync.
>Hawk
Dear god please no. Give the L39 to both sides.
>>144302415
When the MiG-21 is the only aircraft on the server with IFF, I'm not sure about that. If it has some vivid skins it could work though.
>>144302692
That sounds great, it's even historically accurate - the kikes painted their Kfirs and Mirages with huge triangles precisely for that purpose.
>>144302184
A-10A and SU-25 if you want it to be more accessible.
>>144305008
>A-10A and SU-25
Sure, if you remove the FLIR and all of the guided munitions.
>>144305008
If you want to remove the ability of everything else to be desirable to fly ground attack in.
Is the problem.
If you include those, the ground targets have to be tanks n shit. With light attackers and helicopters you can have soft ground targets that bombs actually work on.
>>144305454
Just because something isn't going up in a fiery blaze it doesn't meant that it isn't disabled. My point being that you could script shit so that iron bombs actually have blast damage.
>>144302184
>gazelle
>has thermals

>>144305880

and there goes the entire server into the dump.
>>144305880
What, bombs don't have blast damage?
>>144308705
Of course they do, it just sucks.
>>144308521
Seems fine to me senpai, restrict it to the L if you want to be full autist but the M is still a 70s helicopter.
>>144308874
>Seems fine to me senpai, restrict it to the L if you want to be full autist but the M is still a 70s helicopter.
the 70s didnt have thermals like that.
>>144309260
Well as I say, restrict it to the SA341L only then. The main idea would be to create a setting that plays differently to 4th gen airquake, not accurately recreate a 70s battlefield.

So, what mods should we put in the mandatory pack for the server, if we ever get it running?
The terrain textures mod for the appropriate event, skins for the planes that are common to both factions, Why's imposters fix, the connectivity fix or whatever its name is, the mod that gives Browning M2s cartridges that are actually worth a shit instead of tracers/ball, what else? Are there any mods that increase the bombs' blast radius?
>>144326212
>Are there any mods that increase the bombs' blast radius?
Yes.
A wise man once said : BMS ops WHEN
>>144326212

>>144326212
pls no mods, at least until the new integrity check is in place.
>>144326212
>So, what mods should we put in the mandatory pack for the serve
None for a public server.
Not least because it's impossible until 2.0s integrity checking arrives in 1.5

>>144328036
>But having a modlist for a public server in dcs is fucking retarded,
Lolno, not once integrity checks become a thing again.
>>144328295
By which, I mean if you want anyone to play it.
>>144328876
Oh we'll see about that.
>>144328876
Considering how many people straight up avoid the ED forums and congregate on reddit, 4chan, and a dozen or so general-purpose flight sim boards, and all have the same complaints about the FC3 planes being cancer, and the lack of scaling being both unrealistic and giving further advantage to a handful of loudmouthed F-15 players; I think a public server with enforced mods would probably do well.
At the very least, it would keep out the cancer.
>>144328876
>>144329168
Also if we get our merc thing running and host it with a a handful of open public slots for pubshitters, and they don't want to play with mods it's their loss.
>>144329168
>At the very least, it would keep out the cancer.
Can't argue with that.
If we have our own server with literally nothing changed except for at least small model enlargement, I'd already be a happy man.
If mods can be enforced, the we could do some cool shit. Visibility mod, terrain mod, missile mod, etc.
>>144330248

>>144329168
Are you saying ban F-15 from the server?
>>144331771
If it's a 3rd gen server it would have no place. But even if we included 4th gen fighters, the truly cancerous players won't play if enlargement is on because they aren't interested in BFM.
>>144331925
That's nice they can grow a pair and deal with it.
They told us the same shit when we were complaining about blueflags various faults.
I think if you included 4th gen it's should be all or none, excluding gods plane specifically is kinda gay desu.
>>144331771
The problem is FC3's fighters. I'd be cool with AI controlled FC3 planes or the odd human controlled one if the mission is built with that in mind - and said FC3 fighter wouldn't be controlled by a pubshitter anyway. I'd even be fine with the A-10A and the Su-25T if there was a way to severely limit their ordnance (for example, only 2 guided missiles) so that they wouldn't make the other planes obsolete in the groundpounding aspect.
>>144332564
You could remove guided missiles, the Su-25A and A-10A would then serve as slow, slightly more tanky ground pounders.
I'd probably still choose to sling a bunch of iron bombs to an F-5 or A-4.
tfw noone has downloaded my texture pack to experience the glory that is DCS desert, DCS Vietnam, and the new Caucasus DLC in the most convenient and easy format possible.
Feels bad.
>>144332564
So what's the problem you never really addressed that?
>>144333196
>The problem is FC3's fighters
Do I really have to elaborate on that? Are you really that dense and/or clueless?
>>144332564
>A-10A and the Su-25T if there was a way to severely limit their ordnance (for example, only 2 guided missiles)
If you take away the triple launch rails from the airbase stores in DCS the A-10 can only carry 2 mavericks max. Su-25A is ghetto as fuck already, it doesn't really matter that it can carry several Kh-25s when they're aimed the way they are. Guided missiles on the Grach-A are fun as fuck, makes me wish it was a full module.
>>144333124
I downloaded it, gonna test it out later senpai
>>144333532
Yes fuck face thats why I asked you to explain it further. Saying hurrrrr fc3 is the problem with no rhyme or reason is idiotic. Also you don't need to get ass blasted, it was a really simple question.
>>144326212
>The terrain textures mod for the appropriate event
I wouldn't fancy having to download several gigs of textures just to play.
>>144334302
The only answer you deserve is "kill yourself".
>>144334886
Why is it that people who insult your intelligence always end up being fucking dumber than you are? Projecting their insecurities? Too fucking dumb to be self aware? How can you dislike something and not even be able to explain why? I expect that kinda shit from Xcom or Greg, not one of you fucks.
>>144334817
Fine. Make it an optional albeit strongly recommended mod if possible? Not downloading aircraft skins would put you at a disadvantage because that'd be your IFF for Gazlels and L-39s unless you're flying the MiG-21 or the F-5.
>>144334302
The concept under discussion is a 70s-era server, which most of the FC3 planes don't fit into, aside from the early Su-25 and A-10.
You should really learn to fucking read before posting stupid shit.

It's up to the mission maker, and his envisioned scenario.
>>144336186
As somebody already said, (FC3) pubshitters such as yourself are merely an afterthought. The less we have something to do with people like you, the better it is. Oh and for the record you can find the concept in this very thread, retard.
>>144336610

Feels good man.
I agree with someone above, Su-25A is FC3, but it would fit in a 3rd gen server right?
The sooner we have enough planes to drop FC3 all together, the better.
>>144339838
If you had just read a couple posts in the chain you were referring to, which clearly indicated that the server was shooting for a specific era of aircraft, which the FC3 planes don't fit into (the F-15C first flew in 1978, didn't enter service fully for a couple years later, for example), your stupid question would have answered itself.
>>144340258
I am all for dropping FC3 but it would make playing on the server bloody expensive due to the need to own multiplepretty much all 3rdgen and beforemodules
But we could always make so that there be some FC3 slot for random pub to play against the regulars
>>144340781
>need to own
>need
You keep using that word, I don't think you know what it means.
You can join the server and play just fine on the modules you do have. The only one that'd need all the modules is the server host, and guess fuckin' what, there are ways around that floating around on ED forums.
>>144340781
Allow su-25t but limit ordinance?
>>144340781
There's the Su-25A and the A-10A for that. Hell even the 25T might do if we give it the same weapon restrictions as the 25A and disable the CRT.
>>144340183
Normal people just refer you to the post with the info.
Asshole like yourself just shitpost and meme because I guess it makes you feel better or whatever.
>>144340294
Even if the setting migrates to the 80's the F-15, MiG-29, and Su-27 don't really have a place. Hell, the F-15 wasn't exported to anyone but America's closest allies in high value regions. No chance of seeing it in some regional war where the great powers have no economic or geopolitical incentive to intervene.
I mean we're talking about a fictional region where the MiG-15 is still being fielded, and the L-39 is a viable strike platform.

Pretty much everything is better than a 360 controller for any given application especially given the price (and I'm 100% serious and could even elaborate on that), but why in the fuck did you buy a Steam Controller?

I thought you can't place "client" aircraft of modules you don't own, but I read that a while ago on the thread for Open Conflict, where Mirknir was complaining about something similar.
Seeing as Mirknir is fucking retarded and his server is mostly an unplayable mess of way too much scripting, I guess it's safe to assume he's just wrong.
>>144341421
Well it worked I got all the information I was looking for and I didn't even look through the thread. I would say that's a win on my part.

Where do I even start? The useless dpad? The axes that have a huge dead zone, really bad sensibility, and the springs that hold them in in the centered position getting worn out after not even a year of use? Or the fact that it needs a dedicated dongle if you bought the wifi version while the DS3 can be used with a cheapo bluetooth module, or the cable it comes with? Or the buttons that aren't pressure sensitive?
>>144343109
360 Pad is comfy and well built, but the D-Pad is shit.
Hori's 360 pad, on the other hand, is fantastic; probably my favorite PC gamepad (it also doubles as a buttonbox for DCS for low-importance things like autopilot)
>>144343458
Only downside is how fucking ugly it is, and it's gawdy, entirely too-bright LEDs.

And the "no pressure sensitive buttons" is a legitimate complaint if you want to emulate PS2 games.
Also the plastic that covers the dpads gets worn out nearly as fast as the analog stick return springs, at least I saw that happen in mine. The cable also stopped functioning and I had to replace it. Do I need to go on?

again, wtf are you talking about. i have ancient 360 gamepads that still work perfectly

yeah i'd rather take the dongle(or buy the wired patrician version) and have perfect comparability with 99% of pc games (most of which auto detect the 360 and even change the UI to match its layout) instead of dealing with 3rd party drivers and emulators

No they aren't. The shit flickers, even with a brand new controller, the pots must be really bad.
>again, wtf are you talking about.
I perfectly know what I'm talking about. The analog sticks' return springs get worn out really fast for something with a 40+ bucks pricetag.
>yeah i'd rather take the dongle(or buy the wired patrician version) and have perfect comparability with 99% of pc games (most of which auto detect the 360 and even change the UI to match its layout) instead of dealing with 3rd party drivers and emulators
I never saw that as a problem.
>dualshocks were designed for gook manlets
Yeah, I'd like the dualshocks much better if they were bigger. If it wasn't for the stupid button layout I'd even bother with trying getting the original xbox douk controller working on my PC, at least for PS2 games.
>and didn't even have proper triggers until the ps4
That's a moot point. All of the DS2/3 buttons save for start/select/the sticks are pressure sensitive. And they're surprisingly accurate too.
What I'm trying to say is that the 360 wired pad isn't bad per se for general use (eg playing modern games), but the quality/price ratio is fucking abysmal.

From what I've heard from F-117 pilots recounting stories, a lot of their work is done heads down and on autopilot, even through the actual release of weapons. Apparently the F-117's equivalent to a TGP had a very high workload. I don't remember the specifics, but there's a guy on F-16.net who has flown both A-10As and F-117s and he's told a bunch of stories about the insane level of planning and precision that was required when flying the F-117.
>>144346295

F-5 look so simple and so fun.
Can't wait.
why are there so few mods to add in Warthog 3 pos switch function to the various modules
half of the inputs on my throttle are useless because of that. Like, the A-10C and the Mirage are the only aircraft that actually make use of it.
>>144349576
There's a mod for the MiG-21 that allows for 3 positions switches as well afaik
>>144350240
Like 95% of the switches in the MiG-21 only have two positions, though.
Only the radar and RWR switches are 3-way, and even then, it's a minority.
It's nice that having the 3-ways bindable on the hog is possible, though.

>find the file for the controls
>either modify an existing control or copy an existing one with a new name and new category if you want

e.g.
Imagine you have a switch with positions 1, 2 and 3, position 2 can't actually be bound but there is a function for all three in the game. Therefore you have positions 1 and 3 act normally in the down state (when the switch is made) and then have both of them call the function for position 2 when unmade in the up state.

PLANE TOWING OPS WHEN
I honestly don't even
Alright boys I have a question. This is coming from a very new player, I mean 2 weeks new, so bear with me. The only other sim I've played and taken time to git gud at is Aces High II back in the day.
I'm trying to play the FC3 F-15 campaign, and I'm having problems with the navigation mode on the HUD.
When I take off I have the HUD in navigation mode headed to the first waypoint, I can see it on the kneeboard. The problem is, it seems my bank steering indicator isn't guiding me to the waypoint, but it's sending me in circles or kind of meandering around. I checked, and It's set to the first waypoint, and the ETA is usually 2-3 min, which seems about right, but the bank steering indicator still send me the opposite direction. So far I've been marking position on my kneeboard to navigate, which works alright but it's kind of a chore pressing ctrl+k every few seconds.
I'd like to use the HUD, but I don't really know how to troubleshoot this. Any help is appreciated, let me know if I'm missing something very obvious.
>>144360906
are you confused about course intercept vs. way-pointing?
>>144360906
There should be a keybind somewhere that toggles the selected waypoint, if it works anything like the other FC3 planes, which it should.
Check keybindings.
Will the mirage get CCRP auto release? And how accurate do you think it will be? I like doing ground attack in this thing, because it reminds me of falcon, but everything sucks besides the mk-82 and rockets.
>>144360906
1 is too switch between NAV modes and left ctrl ` is to cycle way points in gods plane.
>>144361061
That could be. Could you explain the difference between the two?
>>144361416
I don't fly the f-15, so I'm not certain about the exact systems on that plane. However, most nav systems will both point you in the direction of the next waypoint but will also try to get you onto the PATH to the waypoint as plotted. If you fall off that path, the system will try to route you to the shortest distance to get back on the correct path to the waypoint. Therefore, if you don't turn at the right rates, it is very easy to get stuck circling or even routed in the opposite direction of the waypoint.
>>144361068
Yeah, eventually. They're more focused on the INS system for some reason. I think the MWS and the CCRP auto release should be of a bigger priority IMO.
>>144361279
So you're saying that it's staying on the first waypoint and trying to send me there the whole time? I have to actually cycle the waypoints as I pass them?
>>144361741
>MWS
I didn't even know the Mirage has this, but holy hot fuck, I want it NOW.
INS isn't terribly important when 90% of multiplayer servers just keep everything pure VFR conditions.
>>144361756
They should automatically cycle if you pass them, close enough to the target altitude and position of the waypoint, at least the Su-27 does if I recall correctly.
The avionics/nav system operation of the Su-27 and F-15 in FC3 are functionally identical, just with different flavors/paintschemes put on top.
>>144361756
Yes.
Typically in most multiplayer servers way point 1 is Bulls eye and way point 0 is the base you took off from. Also on most servers bulls eye is a focal point for combat.
>>144361741
>>144361953
I thought they said they weren't doing the MWS because they don't have any real data on it since it's classified
Same reason they aren't implementing the jammer power settings
>>144362208
wait I'm wrong this nigga be right>>144362180
they cycle automatically
>>144356704
I have a similar setup; it's a microsoft force feedback 2, when it's powered up it auto-centers, in fact when you trim a plane or helo it'll change the center position of the stick. There really isn't anything else out there that is as realistic feeling.
>>144362941

>>144363449

>>144362312
I don't recall them saying that. It's already in the Mirage just really WIP. I sometimes get M launch warnings especially if it's an AMRAAM. Even the D2M knob is modeled in the mirage, which should give us IR missile warnings. I should ask them about it in their Q&A tonight.
>>144363841
>I sometimes get M launch warnings especially if it's an AMRAAM.
That's because it's a radar missile
>>144362180
Alright, so that can't be the problem. Thanks for the input.
>>144361708
>most nav systems will both point you in the direction of the next waypoint but will also try to get you onto the PATH to the waypoint as plotted.

That's probably what's going on. How do I know I'm turning at the right rates? Also, the mission briefing said I needed to be at angels 25 "throughout the flight". If I'm not there by the first waypoint, could that affect anything?
>>144363841
Please do ask about it, anon.
I had been under the assumption that D2M wasn't fitted to the 2000C although the cockpit retains the switches for it, but I really don't know dick about the Mirage, nor enough French to be able to figure it out, so I'm probably off-base.
Having that sweet missile warning system would be nice, though. You sure about the IR missiles bit, though?
>>144363841
lets interrogate these fucks, I'm looking at a shit ton of goodies made by sand people and poo in the loos that was stuck on the mirage.
>>144363995
Depending how low you are when passing that first waypoint, it may not be registering that you've passed it, and may want you to go around again.
In this case you should be able to just switch to the next waypoint though, and they should automatically proceed from there.
The "ultimate argument" campaign for Su-27 has a lot of fuckery going on requiring switching between waypoints for patrol routes, I'm really just speaking from experience regarding that. I think it should work the same in the F-15/basic FC3 campaigns though.
