Any news on project Nemo? I know they finished disc One but that was about one year ago. I havent checked out the general since then. Not even during the Ace Combat 7 anouncement since I knew that they would show jackshit after that.

>>147851952
It definitely has a less cheesy story and a better atmosphere
>9
Ded thred post never evers
>>147853098
The only things AC5 does better is the amount of planes and the tunnel run. Between Fortress Intolerance, Megalith, Avalon Dam, the Fenrir Chase, and Chandelier, Dead Ahead is the most exciting, atmospheric, intense, and well-executed of the tunnel runs. With Hamilton on your tail, it forces you to go fast. With construction equipment and opening/closing walls, it forces you to constantly move around. With the small width across the tunnel, it forces you to be precise in your movements. The extremely long length of the tunnel forces you to endure. And the long length of the mission leading up to that point forces you to give it your all lest you wish to start from the very beginning. All this plus the music and best radio chatter in the game makes for the perfect tunnel run.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=wlPK_53Rrhw
>>147855961
>no fatties chairs
reeeeeeeeeeeee
>>147855992
>amount of planes and the tunnel run
Let's not forget number of missions. Even with mission 27+, essentially 28, I think it had more than that. Like, the story did feel like a drag at some points due to all that cheese, but I seriously could've taken 10 more missions of ACZ. Maybe when the remakesNEVER EVERcome out.
>>147857151
Eh, it would be difficult to make more missions happen at this point. Where would they fit in the story?
>>147857151
Let's see:
>27 main missions
>2+ missions (8942 and The Unsung War)
>3 alt (coin flip) missions
>2 first arcade missions
>4 middle arcade missions
>8 final arcade missions
46 motherfucking missions, goddamn
>>147858515
And now we know why some of them are so short
>>147858390
Technically, ACZ has 55 missions if you include The Guantlet and every style as a separate set of missions, but only 3 missions (B7R, Mayhem, and The Demon of the Round Table) are actually different from each other in different styles while 3 others (Juggernaut, Merlon, and The Final Overture) are different depending on which operation you choose. All the other ones only have the slightest of variations, whether it's the radio chatter or aces that appear. The Guantlet at least changes depending on how fast you defeat the squadrons.
>10
>>147859287
Might as well call it 275 missions and count the different difficulties.
>>147859287
Gauntlet seems to be a bit too generous to include, since it's a special bonus mission.
Counting the variants of Juggernaut etc. individually is fine, since they are different missions with different locations, enemies, and objectives.

Rise Rusegriz comes from a screencap of a post from long ago. I can't ever remember what it said, but it was something making fun of the meta and a couple posts followed twisting quotes from AC4.
Anyway, some time after the screencap became popular, and it should be noted that this was months after the posts in question were made, <<Rise Rusegriz>> became a thing to get the thread off page 10.

Okay, Ive been playing Infinity for a cool minute. What fucking weapon is it (on which planes) which locks on to multiple ground targets? Is it just an enhanced version of the 4AGM because those never work for me as well as it seems to for others? Am I missing something? Do I just need to git gud with that?

Disk 2 was translated half a fucking decade ago and I'd be embarrassed for them if they patched it as it currently is. No really, read the scripts, or play the game while reading the scripts on the side. It's full of typos and awkward sentences, it's as if it was translated by someone that knows Japanese better than English (possibly translated by DSXIII and he didn't like those scripts himself either, in fact IIRC he actually paid the translator that made disk 1). If you want more precise info on what they're up to you could start lurking the forum DSXIII posts in, gamehackingworld or some shit.
Also bookmark UseaToday. Seriously.
>>147855992
I gotta give it in AC5's favor that it has a lot more environment variety, while in ACZ you fly over deserts and woodlands all the fucking time. I don't think you ever even see the ocean if not once.
And I'm saying this as someone that really really dislikes AC5.
Oh I guess there's also the fact that ACZ really reeks of "unofficial/third party super polished expansion pack" I guess.
>>147858515
>counting the arcade missions
>>147859287
I think the AI has really slight differences depending on the ace style but it's so slight a half decent player would pick them up only if he paid a lot of attention to it.

>>147924112
Facedrag should be doing a room about 4-5pm EST
>>147924803
As long as he knows Japanese and doublecheckes with the original scripts, but then again they also want to also translate the archive(think about it: the patched disks really don't bring much new to the table if you already played the game while reading the current scripts, other than more convenience (_big_fucking_deal_), better wording, roughly the same amount of typos if not more), and they know that people will get disappointed if they don't.

Project nemo sadly hasn't moved anywhere since disk 1. Really anticipating that one, can't die before disk 2 is released.

Also they are patching disk 2. At their own leisure, but according to them they did finish the UPEO path which is arguably the most satisfying one becauseyou manage to actually save some of your wingmen! As opposed to saving one and turning him/her in a human wreck, or having to kill one of them yourself..

>>147946845
That was actually what I was talking about with the delicious frontal angle.
It seems to be more of an issue with the placement of the intake ducts from the angle that photo was taken, and intakes aren't easily fixed
>>147947483
They could just cover the turbine blades with bump like in the F-35, I imagine the current air intakes is just a "placeholder" made with ease of maintenance in mind. At least that's what common sense would lead me to believe, because

You left out latency. The speed of light is a hard limit on these things. Latencies much above 100 ms are too much for the human brain to consider 'realtime.'
>>147956437
Ohhhh so there's hope? To achieve a useful latency, the controller will have to be close, meaning we'll always have pilots, right?
>>147953797
DIOOOO
>>147956719
We'll probably have pilots for the foreseeable future, maybe not because the tech isn't available, but because it isn't reliable enough.
Humans make mistakes, sure, but they're also able to correct those mistakes, or at least minimize the damage from them and adapt to unforeseen circumstances.Like putting it down in a stadium.
Once you get into drone territory pure AI becomes unreliable, just look at the shit Tesla is being dragged through at the moment. Sure it's in-development tech, and you can argue that eventually it'll have a fraction of a percentage risk of just misinterpreting everything and nosediving into the ground, but you've got to convince the people in charge that it's worth the millions of dollars in equipment (a price that will only go up) to risk that.
And sure, people can fuck up, but better the devil you know and have spent like 2/3rds of a century planning around.
>>147957790
But then what if your foes pick the devil you don't know
>>147958171
they spend a ridiculous amount of money and time implementing something that you've been developing 'hypothetically' for years.
It's not like for example in the US development will cease on AI or remotely controlled drone-fighters, it just won't be used for actual combat.
Just look at the number of projects cancelled in favour of updating or refitting old hardware, replacing old shit with brand new shit is expensive and basically causes a huge amount of unrest amongst your staff etc. Again, not that it doesn't happen, but it won't be like "We made an AI that can dogfight somewhat reliably, suddenly we don't need pilots."

>>147956719
We may not have pilots in the planes, as drones will likely have a good grasp on basic maneuvering. However we will have commanders in an RTS sort of sense, and we might even have people babysitting the drones to make sure they don't do anything stupid. Programming does fuck up, and it does it a lot.
I have a feeling that direct control over drones will be the norm for quite some time.
>>147963003
>direct control over drones
What could possibly go wrong.
>>147950910
Dead and ruined.
It's already pretty bad. Peaked around the 80s or 90s, possibly the 70s, as did aviation in general.
>>147963207
What do you mean? Fighter drones would be no different from current fighter aircraft except the pilot would be safer.
>>147964082
>What do you mean
Absolute shit situational awareness unless you want to waste money and weight equipping the drones with double UHD cameras (and even then not even a VR set that has a resolution of 8k per eye comes close to the human eye), the pilot's brain getting conflicting information from his eyes that see one thing and his body that is moving in a completely different way than what his eyes see (and that's a HUGE deal, and one of the reasons why the MBT70 was shitcanned, the drivers got disoriented from that, some even got motion sickness IIRC some even puked because of it).
It just seems to be a recipe for disaster.
>>147964726
>his body that is moving in a completely different way than what his eyes see
Is that really a problem with a drone?
You don't get motion sickness playing Ace Combat.
>>147965341
It could very well be given that it proved to be a problem with tanks.
>You don't get motion sickness playing Ace Combat.
Because 1 you're not moving at all and 2 you aren't using headtracking or a VR headset.
>>147965669
>it proved to be a problem with tanks.
They were physically in the tank though. It was also a problem with British Rail's tilting train prototypes (I believe the solution was to let passengers feel *some* tilt, but nowhere near what it actually was.)
>Because 1 you're not moving at all and 2 you aren't using headtracking or a VR headset.
Never got Motion sickness with X on a bus, and I can't see head-tracking doing it. A VR headset would be unnecessary. (Even head tracking may be unnecessary.)
If you sat them down in a proper simulator-like environment (360 camera, recreation of a cockpit and such) and then moved that in ways that didn't match what was displayed, then it's easy to see why motion sickness would occur. But when they were sitting elsewhere, in a clearly different environment I can't see it being a serious issue.
>>147965912
So no depth perception?
>>147966093
You can't really get that with a VR headset yet, can you?
I've heard at least with a head-tracker, formation flying is a nightmare compared to real life due to the lack of it.
>>147965912
>A VR headset would be unnecessary
Yeah sure let's throw sense of depth (what allows you to visually spot planes in flight at 20km+ given the conditions are good enough) out of the window.
>(Even head tracking may be unnecessary.)
If you want to have even worse situational awareness, sure. There is a reason why headtracking is so big in flight sims and why it's also slowly expanding to racing sims and also shit like Arma.
>But when they were sitting elsewhere, in a clearly different environment I can't see it being a serious issue
Unless you can make so that they feel like they aren't flying inside a 737 or whatever it's going to be a huge liability.
>>147966225
>You can't really get that with a VR headset yet, can you?
According to people that have VR headsets you can.
And I never had problems with flying in formation while using headtracking.
>>147966501
Thought that just occurred:
Do we really need one pilot to have all that situational awareness anyway?
In terms of general flight, one could always have a team of people assigned to one aircraft (or at least one other person) lowering the workload signifigantly.
Who needs to see another aircraft 20km away when you've got someone panning a highly zoomed camera around the sky who'll tell you if anything comes up?
It wouldn't even need much more hardware in the drone itself, it just means another laptop to send sensor data to.
Why are we arguing about drone controlled fighters
You have one command pilot flying in his formation of drones. When they detect an enemy, he decides on a plan of attack and they execute. This gives the flexibility of not tying down fighter control to a ground location, allowing for deeper penetration into a hostile environment
>>147966764
Oh sweet summer child. You spot flying objects not by clearly seeing them, but rather by sensing the movement with your eyes' peripheral area. A computer could theoretically do that, scan it with IRST and if it's emitting heat start tracking it. There'd still be problems about reliability though (such as the system locking random shit). Spotting things in the air with a high power (zoom) camera is dumb, you'd rather need multiple cameras with stupidly high definition, sensibility, refresh rate. Something that has characteristics similar to the human eye.
>Do we really need one pilot to have all that situational awareness anyway?
Yes.
>>147967742
>Spotting things in the air with a high power (zoom) camera is dumb, you'd rather need multiple cameras with stupidly high definition, sensibility, refresh rate. Something that has characteristics similar to the human eye.
Not really. Scale is a bigger problem than quality beyond a certain point.
"A big black blurry fuck is moving around in an airplane like way" is enough to tell you there's something there to kill. You don't need to know it's an unarmed MiG-21.
>Yes.
Whoa what a great justification that sure convinced me that Pilots need to have the same workload they've always had despite no longer being physically present in the aircraft (and thus 10 crew being no more difficult than 1.)

Having 360 spatial awareness is VITAL for a plane, as any shot fired in a blind side could destroy the plane before he could react
>inb4 what are lock-on alarms
Time is of the essence, if you lose 0.5s to react to the already differed sound of the alarm, that's a lot of time wasted on something you could have seen and prevented altogether if seen it
>>147968782
>Having 360 spatial awareness is VITAL for a plane, as any shot fired in a blind side could destroy the plane before he could react
That's why you render the concept of a blind-side obsolete with multiple cameras providing a 360 degree view, instead of one guy who will never be able to look everywhere at once.
Which is what the point of "Does one pilot need all that spatial awareness anyway?" comes from: It's not a rejection of spatial awareness, it's splitting tasks between multiple people. (All of whom could theoretically have a control column, or an "oh fuck it's an enemy missile, initiate automated evasion program" button.
>>147966764
you're wasting time on relaying information amongst team members, I mean, it's doable, but it'd probably not stand up to a single human in 'complete' control of a single craft.
>>147967136
IIRC, you can't have fully automated killer robots at the moment, and honestly it'd be really really hard to get someone to sign off on them, people already make blue on blue mistakes. Robots would probably be even worse at that since you need to either teach them everything they're ever going to see, and hope you have enough references to prevent them misidentifying them.
Basically drones etc need a human operator. You can have them fly pre-programmed routes, and automatically look for movement, heat signatures etc but they need a human being on the other end controlling the weapons, or at least holding the little button that fires them.
Accountability is just that important, and without the human operator you're relying on a robot to decide whether an individual lives or dies, that's a lot of responsibility, especially given the destructive power of modern weaponry, what if it misidentifies a school as a target?
If a human makes a mistake then people look at the scenario and determine whether that could have been reasonably avoided. When a robot makes a mistake it's an error with the software or hardware, that software was developed by somebody, and the scenario the mistake occurred in should have been accounted for or the drone/AI isn't fit for duty. That hardware was designed/maintained by somebody, if the hardware fails then that's a problem with the equipment and that model of drone might not be fit for duty.
Basically we're not good enough at AI, and we might not ever be to justify giving an artificial 'intelligence' control of a very important situation that lots of humans aren't even fit/trained for. Not to mention the moral issues that arise from a computer killing people based on pre-determined data.
>>147969073
It would be losing time in communication between crew members, and actually triggering the automated reaction from the plane, which would make the pilot lose control of his plane during a vital moment.
Have you tried playing a game with 2 person controlling one thing ?
Also automated reaction are often predictible

There's also pic related.
Late model F-4Es had the TISEO (Target Identification System Electro-Optical ) system added to the left wing. This was a steerable, stabilized, telescopic camera used to indentify targets before engaging.

he's not wrong if you're in an obvious combat zone where there shouldn't be civilian traffic.
>>148011308
That's how blue on blue incidents happen though. IFF is important, visual identification is part of it. Yes, you have dedicated IFF, but what if you're in a clusterfuck such as, dunno, fighting alongside a nation that uses mostly soviet tech and has no NATO IFF? Visual ID would be faster than having AEW declare it or raygun>buddyspike, for example.
>>148011543
what if you're not in a clusterfuck, and you know full well that if there's anything in that airspace that doesn't belong to the good ol' US-of-A then it has absolutely no business being there?
while you're deciding to visually identify him, he's already worked out that you're NATO and fired.
>>148011734
>what if you're not in a clusterfuck, and you know full well that if there's anything in that airspace that doesn't belong to the good ol' US-of-A then it has absolutely no business being there?
Then you don't wast time visually IDing in first place, and do with IFF or if IFF isn't working for some reason with one of the methods I previously listed?
Also it's not like visually IDing something takes a lot of time. Moving around the high power camera can be a completely automated process, just like scanning bogeys with IRST.
>>148011886
Actually now that I'm thinking of it if the camera's automated (IIRC IRL F-16s already do that) you visually ID it first anyway, as long as it's feasible to do so (eg, the weather conditions allow you to do so from reasonable range, the bandit isn't already beaming you, etc).

Roll rate, weight, drag? There is a reason if the krauts and eyeties ditched wing armament in some fighters. Also nose mounted guns are always better than wing mounted guns.
