Sorry senpai, I'm at work and I doubt my boss would approve of me shitposting while driving a forklift to keep the thread alive
Preview of an op I'm working on. This is still fairly early on, but it is now in a testable state.
Basically a """""""dynamic""""""" """""""campaign""""""" where the goal is to partially simulate a BMS campaign through the use of a state saving script. Right now only the aerodromes have anything at them, but I plan on adding more threats over cities etc as I develop this mission further.
The idea is to fly a large scale op with, then save the mission using the script. I (or whoever else is running the mission) then takes the saved version into the mission editor and makes any necessary changes that cannot be updated dynamically by DCS without a lot of scripting. This includes stuff like updated the CAP zones of the enemy fighters, updating spawns, changing FARP locations, etc.
The other use for this mission could be for the Mercs and Planes idea that a few of us have been working on lately, which is (in my head at least) essentially a campaign played in sessions ran by a Game Master or similar. You buy your plane and weapons, then go and fly missions to make money to fly more missions and buy better planes.
>>146153230
Mods?
>>146153230
Sounds bad ass nigga, keep it up.
>>146153230
Wow, you might even make it worth re-installing this dull slavshit switch flicking simulator.
>>146153456
Not unless enough people want mod aircraft. The only ones I would add would be the F/A-18, F-15E, and A-7.
>>146153230
As a side note I'll also most likely make a version of the mission with the sides flipped around so the players play redfor against bluefor.
>>146153601
As in sand textures, better imposters, correct ammo for fiddy cals, WW2 ground units.
>>146153601
Those would be nice for the poorfags that only have the 25T, also more third gen shit like the MiG-23 pls.
>>146153960
I really liked the blueflag rounds with no amraams/ETs/ERs so this mission has none of those and you're going up against MiG-25s, 23s, Su-27s, and MiG-21s.
I also included Su-25As and 25Ts for those that like those modules.
>>146153894
Oh, I see. I was considering making a mod pack that wasn't mandatory, but that no one would object to downloading.
>>146154179
>that no one would object to downloading.
Those people that would object can get fucked, also you could always an already merged mod pack with two versions, one with ground textures and one that doesn't have them (for the people that already have downloaded them and for shitters with bandwidth caps).
ちぇck
>>146154282
Well the ground textures are client side, so no problems there.
As for the other stuff, I want to keep the file size low so if someone shows up just before an op and wants the modpack it won't take them a while.
>>146151026
Then go ahead and quicken it you lowlife piece of shit.
>>146154383
If you state that the mods will be needed for those ops in the OP/second post they'll have no excuse for not having downloaded the mods and you can make the modpack size as big as you'd like.
Also will there be flyable MiG-23s and Su-17s?
post aesthetics
>>146154451
I suppose. I still want to keep the file size low regardless, mods to make existing planes flyable only take a few MB at most.
And no, there won't be flyable MiG-23s and 17s. At least on bluefor, when I make the redfor version I'll probably have those.
>>146154542
>those Kamina glasses that don't get affected by the VHS corruption
Way to ruin a nice image.
okay im going to bed yurofags pls keep the thread alive
have a nighty night foxbat
Why play as bluefor now when we can do it later AND fuck around with the F-5? Or better yet, why have a bluefor= exclusively NATOshit/redofr= exclusively slavshit thing?
>>146153230
I tried that too, impossible to optimise in the current patch with the broken AI ON/AI OFF commands.and don't just concentrate all AA at airbases
>>146153230
Hope you're ready for ED to break your scripts every other patch.
>>146158517
>broken AI ON/AI OFF commands.
Doesn't reverting to the previous stable build fix that?
>>146160225
I guess, but that's a big ask of the people playing your mission. We get enough desyncs already.
>>146154282
>>146154383
>>146154451
>>146154631
DCS aircraft mods are down right retarded.
>ED just changed the forum banner to a mig-29 taking off
oh boy.
I wish modern flight sims allowed you to crash into buildings.
>>146161790
The terrorists won
>>146160854
As far as I understand only the server has to do that, the clients can still use the latest open beta.
>>146162569
It doesn't work like that, depending on the version the server may not be visible.
>>146163153
I'm pretty sure BF did exactly what I posted and it worked.
>>146163413
>BF worked
Well we seem to have a different understanding of what working is.
it depends on the version and such though, sometimes it may sometimes it may not.
How should I go about closing the gap to a flanker or MiG in the mirage?
Their IRST+ET missiles are hard to counter, 16 flares means I can't just spam them or I'll run out
>>146163632
You shouldn't.
>>146163720
REEALLY makes me want some MICAs then
>>146164669
Pls, what you're asking is dumb, not as dumb as "how do I win a turnfight against a CR42/I-153 if I'm flying a Me-262"you don't, if you try doing that he'll eat you alive and then crash after dying of laughterbut it's getting there.
>try downloading DCS standalone
>90KB/s
How do I merge the steam install with standalone again?
>>146165217
So avoid is the order of the day, maybe hope to sneak up on then.
>>146165867
Poop on them with your actually GOOD radar and radar guided missiles then leg it, you should also have better TWR than them.
Alternatively if you have a wingman that is flying a soviet plane you could act as bait and let him take care of them, but that's risky.
Any cunts here got any good Silent hunter 4 mod suggestions?
>>146168876
The two go-by mods are Real Fleet Boat if you want to play the disgusting ez modo US subs and Operation Monsun if you want to play as the gerries (the name is misleading as it covers the area of operations of Op. Monsun and Europe AND the Americas).
You'll have to wait if you want to hear about submods and other shit as my experience with SH4 is pretty limited, but I can tell you that there was a nip campaign in the making a few years ago, I don't know it something came out of it though.

Like actually how hard is it to fly the A-10
I have been practicing the Mirage but I can't seem to figure out why targets in would suddenly disappear from the radar or why the radar just seems to break lock for no apparent reason? (It's not over 60 degrees, the targets are quite far away too, when I maneuver sometimes it breaks lock somethings it doesn't)thanks for the tip yesterday about turning on labels to get used to visualizing, I'm not there yet but I'm getting there
>>146217129
To fly? Easyest plane in DCS.
Systems are the most complicated in DCS but it really doesn't take long to learn how to operate them to a functional level.
It can take a long time if you want to know the ins and and outs of every single system though.
>>146215924
yeah, as much as I dislike leddit the combat footage and military picture subreddits sometimes have some neat stuff
CBU-97 is GOAT bomb.
>>146217598
Is the A-10a baby cliffs edition a pure meme plane?
g o d s h e l o
>>146217802
It's okay and has a nice 70s feel about it, very limited in it's capabilities compared to the C though.
I wouldn't recommend buying it or any other FC3 plane individually though.
>>146217404
Do they break while in TWS? Cause TWS is kinda sketchy atm.
>>146217129
Propably has the hardest difficulty curve, but is very straight forward once you're past the "aha" moment. Understanding SOI/SPI and how your sensors work is something you need to know before you do anything.

Where can I download Bartheks texture mod? The link on the forums is dead and the thread is closed by shitspawn.
From everything I've seen of it, it looks great. He got rid of all that ugly ass BMS tier flat city texture shit thats in between the buildings. Make everything look so much cleaner.
>>146255613
The pastebin. There's probably a link also in r*ddit and lockonfiles.
Honestly, is it worth it to buy one of these games for multiplayer with you faggots? I do sort of enjoy simulators because they're pretty relaxing but I torrent everything, and the last two games I got for multiplayer (ARMA and ETS2) no one ever wants to play so I just ride around in ETS2 by myself and just play ARMA and public servers whilst making missions no one will play.
>>146255594

>>146256074
Kill yourself.
>>146256074
It's free.
>>146256214
Which one?
>>146256212
A tempting offer.
>>146256074
you can at least download DCS for free and try out the su-25t
What the shit. I downloaded Bartheks 6.0 mod, but this video, which is 4.0 looks way better.
https://youtu.be/NWkijfrUhhM
At 8:04, compare the city area.
The one on the right gets rid of the butt ugly texture under the buildlings.
The 6.0 version i downloaded does not do this.
EXPLAIN?
>>146256074
BMS and DCS are free. For WW2 I belive someone here plays IL-2 CloD occasionally but Im not sure.
How does the 25T calculate CCIP for iron bombs and rockets if it doesn't automatically turn on the laser? Does it use the Shkval as a rangefinder?
>>146260889
if you want a more accurate solution turn on the laser.
>>146261194
I don't want a more accurate solution, I want to know how it calculates it with the laser turned off.

Inertially.
It triangulates, using your speed height and angle and to calculate your impact point, like i suppose it's done on every aircraft.
>>146261813
How does it calculate the terrain elevation at the impact point, if it does that at all?
>>146262105
If you are inside Radar altimeter distance, it does it through that, if you are outside of it, the baro altitude, that means the point directly below your aircraft.
why does the Mirage's rudder not work when I land and why does it veer violently to the right when the front wheel touches down?
The Mirage lands just fine in the landing instant action but veers around in other instant actions. Or am I just doing something horribly wrong?

>veer violently to the right when the front wheel touches down
Sounds like a wheel brakes problem.

Texture pack modders are obsessed with making their mods perfect and always end up over-doing them with too many updates.
Starways Textures are a good example, he ruined them with his 2.0 update imo.
I asked this in another thread but is there a texture pack without the lame baked-on 2D trees? I fly helos mostly, and that shit looks ugly as hell slow and low
>>146263837
Quite a few of them do, dare I say most. Starways texture pack ver1.0 is my favourite for low altitude flight, especially for the gorgeous trees. If he no longer has a link to it on the forums I'll upload it myself if you ask as the 2.0 version sucks imo.
>>146264079
Just do it. And have bananaman put it in the fucking pastebin.
>>146264079
Starways has baked on trees, or at the very least baked on bushes and shit. They're visible in that image- low and slow the shadows from the bushes just make the ground look like it has a shitload of black spots on it.

>>146264079
We should upload it, on our own, i have the texture pack myself as well.
>>146264367
They're not baked on trees in the same sense as pic related.
Tbh the mottling in >>146264079 is necessary to prevent the textures looking too flat. There are many texture packs that are too plain and look like the map has been painted in mspaint.
>>146263837
Stop flying on the 15 years old map.
>>146264689
You can make the map look less flat in better ways than that mottling/2d bush shit, just vary the grass colors and add more of those little patches like what are in that post next to the buildings, where there's an area that suggests denser grass coverage or a slight rise in elevation

Sand has no multiplayer tho
and I got tired of having two separate installs

Easier said than done, if it's so easy make a texture pack. As it is Starways 1.0 looks the best at all altitudes.
Is Free Track actually effective ?
I'm planning on using my old PS2 EyeToy, I hope the LED thingy isn't that hard to put together

>Is Free Track actually effective ?
Obviously it's not as good as TIR5, but it only has to be functional.
If I compiled a JSGME-compatible mod that replaced all the intro screens and music for DCS modules with vaporwave aesthetic meme versions of them, would anyone download that
