I have done something completely degenerate and abhorrent, I enjoyed it and I will continue doing it. I have a HOTAS setup that can replicate most of the real controls with fairly decent accuracy (2 hats on Winwing Orion, 4 hats on VKB Gladiator) but since I like flying multiple aircraft and switch between them I decided to bind my controls with function consistency instead of faithfulness to the original setup. I got sick of pressing the wrong button when I want to drop a flare. So, for example, the thumb/shoulder button on the stick is my countermeasure switch on every aircraft I fly, and I don't give a fuck that on the F-18 it's the air-to-air weapon select switch and I could do a perfectly faithful binding with my setup. And the switch that messes around with MFDs is always the middle hat on my throttle, same as the Coolie on the A-10 (even if the Sensor Select Switch is on the stick in half of the aircraft, and not even on the throttle).

I take up two hats on my CH fighterstick in every plane just for the F1 cockpit, F2 external, fly b views, and camera slew controls. Because I like LOOKING at my aircraft from the outside with ease.
I also have the trimmer control on all helicopters mapped to the pinky switch, so all I have to do is simply squeeze the stick a bit tighter and bam, I've trimmed it, instead of wasting the thumb button that I'll use for weapons instead

Does chaff even do anything in DCS? I don't think that I have ever managed to lose a radar missile, especially not a SAM even when putting them at the 90 and spamming chaff.
Anonymous
>>445305303 I believe from a technical perspective is chaff and flare is an rng check.
Notching a missile with chaff has always been a toss-up for me.
Really you're better off terrain masking or in long distances just outrunning the thing instead.
Anonymous
>>445305771 I read somewhere that the RNG is heavily modified by things like notching or putting your engines idle for an IR missile. So that's what I was doing, but it never seems to work for radar missiles.
Also, does notching even do anything if you're not considerably lower altitude than the attacker? As far as I know if you're higher than them their radar just turns off the velocity filter. Of course you'll never be lower than a SAM so that terrain clutter becomes an issue, so it would make sense that it does nothing against them.
Anonymous
>>445306121 Different tactics for different missiles. SAM sites your best bet is a sharp plummet towards the ground in an effort to trick the missiles into leading you which puts them in the dirt.
Notching is the method of blending into the ground clutter filter and being radar-invisible to the missile. There is no ground clutter to be removed if it is looking up into you and the only pings being returned is you.

After a missile is launched, however, you have to maneuver, it's the only thing that will save you

it's honestly a kind of cope to wave away your use of "torque" as any rotation of an aircraft around it's center of gravity in any axis...come on now I just wanted to clarify, not get into some dumb pissing contest over this.. Anonymous
>>445410496 But torque is a force which would induce a rotation about a point or axis if allowed to move. That is how it is defined in mechanics and engineering and universally understood. Harrier autist is right to use the word torque. It is a net torque on the plane which results in a rotation which in aviation language is labelled p-factor. P-factor does not produce or drive anything.

so for extra authenticity of experience you need to set your throttle full open (disable it) and leave it full open the entire time. Also your mixture full rich if you have one of those too, but that's less common for fags here.

Playing the Kerman campaign for Harrier. Every mission was great so far (played 1-6), this jet really needed a good campaign for a long while. Only bit of a shame is that the developer has a raging hardon for Rockeye bombs, sometimes your entire loadout is Rockeye and almost nothing else and they fucking suck in DCS. Even with a direct hit it's down to pure RNG if it works or not. After a few missions I just started swapping them out for anything else. I know for Harriers Rockeye is bread and butter, but it's just so meh in DCS. Though I guess it would be more accurate to say in DCS any weapon that doesn't reliably kill a target is worthless, unlike in real life where damage is useful too.

>>445603930 Did you also read the part that the STECS mini doesn't have a large enough base to be used on a desk without mounting (ie. screws)?
Anyway I'd go with the Winwing Orion instead any day. Of course I'm a bit biased because I have one and I haven't tried the STECS, but the extra 2 and 3 way switches on the base are huge. You can use them for autopilot, flaps, master arm. I have one of the knobs set up for my NVG intensity for easy access. And the slider for view zoom.
Even the STECS standard doesn't have anywhere near the amount of switches as the Orion.
Also the STECS mini only comes with 1 hat on the throttle (and 4 buttons you can replace), you need to buy button replacement kits separately to add more hats.

Overall at 227€ the throttle+base combo they have at the european store seems like a better dea, yeah, though I wish they replaced some of the switches in the Orion2 base with buttons. For the stick I think I would rather go with VKB though, the NXT EVO space combat stick would cost me 208€ in total, a little bit cheaper than any of the sticks they currently have in the winwing store, and I just like the layout of the VKB stick more.

I bought a PICO4 and gave it a try in msfs2020. desu I'm disappointed. there's no WOW factor. performance is mediocre, looking around doesn't feel that smooth. I'm running default settings, so there obviously must be room for improvement. Any recommended guides? My PC is 4080+7800X3D, I consider this decent enough for VR.

who cares about reality? this is a video game this obsession with satellite imagery and photogrammetry needs to go, embrace procgen, the only thing that is important to be accurate to life is airports and major landmarks, the details can be filled in much better by generation than by data who cares about the exact street layouts and whether you can see your house or not? pure autism, the overall shape and architectural style of a city is much more important than those details

the thing that looks like dogshit is low res satellite imagery full of errors, cars driving under bridges in the water which also has a picture of the bridge painted on it underneath, sudden color changes because that picture was taken at a different time of day or season, flying over a picture of a cloud painted on the ground, distorted paper mache photogrammetry bs etc. etc. etc.
you can absolutely break the world down into a series of biomes, there's an entire science dedicated to this, and you can absolutely procgen a great amount of visual detail and variety within that

Anonymous
>>445770149 the cities in fs2020 are AI/proc generated except for the photogrammetry ones, which you can turn off, the world updates add new architectural styles for the procgen and it's like a few kb for that
where it fails is it's trying to match it to low quality satellite imagery instead of generation something more sensible that may not match real life but will at least look good
there's been research done on how to generate cities for decades, and it's basically not too different from generating trees using fractal systems, give it some major roads, landmark buildings, and an overall shape and style for the city and it could do quite well to replicate the feel of the real thing without all this low quality crap

Dose /sing/ include spacesims? Doesn't look like there is any other thread where it would fit. Anyways, was curious if anyone could tell me how the Elite Dangerous new player experience is. Is it as grindy as some people say?
Anonymous
>>445792201 Space sims are a mostly a grey area since their "sim" doesnt really compare to the actual sims the thread is for, but this is still only thread where they arent completely out of place
As for the new player experience, i cant say for sure(havent been a new player for a long time) but i dont think it would be bad at all as long as you use some of the many cheeses for earning gobs of money(overlapping hotspot mining, certain trade routes, etc.)
At least back when i was a new-ish player, normal trade earned you plenty of money to progress at a reasonable rate, the only particularly grindy part is engineering which can be mostly ignored unless you want to PvP
Honestly though i pretty much always wound up exploring, just flying out and looking at the pretty things, so others would probably know a lot better than i do

Every branch of the US military is in a massive recruitment slump right now. I heard that US air force/navy public affairs are getting much more lenient when it comes to allowing media that touch on sensitive material go public, like youtube videos made by ex-pilots and such. In other words they are willing to leak more of their recent technologies to encourage people to become pilots. It would be nice if this lead to a generational jump to more recent DCS modules.

Any anons familiar with the F14 to help me out? I'm 3d printing the stick (from DCS, supposedly laser scanned), the thing is turning out kinda fat & big. Am I supposed to use the trim hat & weapon selector switch with my left hand? Cuz using my right thumb I have to do some painful stretching, I'm kinda doubting it's the actual size. Big handed dude I know tried it and also said he had to stretch his hand to reach the hat. The distance from the base of the hat to the base of the trigger is almost 8cm. Diameter at the at the base of the stick is at 5cm (just below where the pinky holds). For comparison, the same measurements on a PXN 2113 are 3cm & 3.5cm.

Should I get into the Harrier? I've flown the Tomcat almost exclusively for months now, but I'm itching to get into some precision A2G. I don't have any experience with MFDs in DCS. I'd get the Hornet, but I have no need for it A2A capabilities (and I think it looks ugly as sin).

>>446071159 I'm obviously biased but I'd say to trial it if you have the standalone installed. It's easy to learn the systems but difficult to master them as there's 2-4 different ways you can do most anything. Nothing beats rearming at a FARP 15 miles from the AO as all the heli pilots swivel their heads to watch you drop in. You can easily learn A/A, SEAD, guns and dumb bombing on day one if you setup your keybinds decently.

Pic related. Left is by sagil (a jew who over prices everything). I bought it when the F14 was still in development and it's shit. Middle is some dude on cults, far better priced but still blocky and too wide. Right is Virpil, notice how the neck is thinner and has a gentle curve. Next compare the wrist rest on all 3, the curve (or lack thereof) where it meets the grip should give you an idea of how bad the available STLs are.

>>446255468 Trim issue. You start with the autopilot channels on which commands the autopilot to hold heading, pitch and attitude. The autopilot is set by the trim switch. You have two options:
>trim Hold the trimmer switch, maneuver then release (and re-center the stick). Do this for all maneuvers. You fly manually while the switch is held then the autopilot takes over when you let go.
Pro tip: make small deflections then let go and re-center the stick each time. Basically build up large inputs with lots of small inputs. Otherwise you may get strange behaviour if the new trim center takes effect while you still have a large deflection on the stick (causing you to buck like a bronco).
>turn on flight director Leaves the stability augmentation on for all selected channels, but disengages the autopilot control of those channels. Essentially giving you regular helicopter controls but with no autopilot holds.

>>446308561 I generally suggest not falling asleep while flying, unless you have an autopilot, a 2nd pilot (minimum) or an alarm of some sort which can wake you up when it's time to start getting more proactive.
Unlike being in a real jet, you can easily get up and take breaks, pour some more coffee, use the restroom etc. You can even put it on pause if you need a real break, or something else comes up.

Coming back to Apache after not playing for a while, I forgot a punch of stuff that makes my life less miserable. Just now I wasted 5 minutes circling above an airfield because I didn't save the coordinate of my takeoff spot and had to look for it in the dark. I also forgot to boresight my ihadss during startup and the waypoints are actually named W01 or W02 Instead of Wp01 which confused the fuck out of me when I tried to use direct course command.

I wonder if their dozens of programmers will be able to implement such extremely complicated features for 2.9 like the dots scaling with resolution (took a random modder guy 30 minutes to write up the shader, but they banned it) or allowing different AI unit types have different gun dispersion setting (right now if you lower the accuracy of infantry it also lowers accuracy of radar guided AAA). Sounds extremely complicated, they would need to move a single global variable into the unit types. I hope they can make it.

Even if you know the mission usually has SAMs someone might have randomly fired a bunch of HARMs that way, so if you go there to SEAD even that might be a waste of time.

I've always wondered if targeting pod lasers can be used as a weapon. "Following Desert Storm, F-15Es took part in overseeing the two no-flight zones over Iraq. The most notable incident was when a flight witnessed attacks by Iraqi helicopters against a large group of Kurdish refugees at Chamchamal. With very restrictive ROE in place, the pilots performed several low high-speed passes very close to the Iraqi aircraft, creating severe wake turbulence, at the same time aiming lasers at their cockpits trying to blind their crews, which led to one of the Hinds to crash."

Black Shark, Mi-8 and Huey all have more paid campaigns and free missions made for them in the user files since they are older modules.
For sandbox missions that allow you to fly any aircraft, Shark and Apache are both more effective since they can deal with air defenses better.
The real issue with the Hind is finding single player missions tailored for it.

Anonymous
>>446568275 I'm explaining to the retards here, (like you), who didnt even know how to create basic random spawning enemies in the first place. So let's recap
Basic mission editor 101 for retards
Create a unit, give it waypoints, ect, then next to the condition box you'll see another box with '100' in it. This is the spawn probability of the unit, this decides whether the unit will even spawn in the mission in the first place, drop this down to 25% or whatever and now you have a unit, or even an entire group which may or may not spawn. (Units linked together in a group will all spawn together or not depending on the first units %). Now simply check the 'hidden on map" checkbox and you just created a fucking dynamic unit that may or may not appear and you have no idea until you get to the AO
Is there going to be a shit load of SA13s waiting for you? MANPADS hidden in trees? A flight enemy air escorts? Who fucking knows.

>>446570090 No, you don't get it.
You now have a mission that always takes place at the same position of the map. How many times are you going to run the mission where you take off and KNOW that there's an enemy pack after that mountain while everything before the mountain is safe? Oh, but you can place a MANPADS in front of the mountain that only has a 20% chance to spawn! You still know exactly where to look for it. It's a checkbox you can pick. MANPADS didn't spawn, I'm safe.
You now pass the mountain using the same ingress route you take every time. Did you just spot a light armor? Ah yes, that's the 3 pack of BMP-2 that always goes east to west. No RWR warning? Okay, the SA-8 didn't spawn, I'm good.
>then just make 20 different missions so you forget the exact positions! Then it's no longer just a 5 minute job, is it.
Even a mission generator is better than making your own killbox missions. There are even mission generators made for helos that include infantry deployment tasks and so on. They spawn missions across the entire map, so having to navigate there and picking a good ingress point always varies.

The Hind is especially in an awkward position where it can't do missions with short range SAM defenses like the KA-50 and the Apache can with their longer range missiles, while killing insurgents and soft armor which is just right for the Huey and Mi-8 is too easy for the Hind.

Lmaoing at the idiots being hostages to a company and defending creating your own missions in a combat flight sim as something that's desirable and good. Lmaoing at them parroting the same old arguments ("it's random!") day after day, even when someone explains to them why it's bad (see here

But what to expect from someone who enjoys a kill-feeds and other non-diegetic gameplay elements, disordered multiplayer-only gaming and other concepts which strive away from non-poser, non-corrupted, authentic combat flight simming.

Ah shit. I wanted to get into flight simming and remembered I had an old joystick lying around in the attic that I got for Christmas as a kid. It only has like 6 buttons, but it's better then nothing. But turns out it's absolutely busted, half of the buttons don't work the stick is so off center even the calibration switches can't get it back and the half of the stick inputs get eaten anyways. Guess it's time to bite the bullet and buy a proper HOTAS, any recommendations for a beginner? What price ranges should I look at? I'm frankly a little torn, I don't want to buy the cheapest thing possible, but I also don't want to spend a huge amount on a hobby which I'm just "trying out" and don't know if I will enjoy enough to justify the price tag that comes with some of the accessories.
Anonymous
>>446646256 It depends on how much you're willing to spend, people often recommend the Thrustmaster Flight Hotas X(or the PS4 or Xbone version since all of them are compatible with PC) since it's cheap but in my experience that thing seems to break very quickly, some people have used it for years without problems but it seems I'm not one of the lucky ones. Another option is the Logitech Extreme Pro joystick, it's only the stick but it's a pretty good option for the price. If you're willing to spend a bit more there's also the Thrustmaster T16000 HOTAS, which is basically the next tier above the Flight Hotas X, that might be a decent option for a beginner if you're willing to pay a bit more. Beyond that you need to tell me what you're willing to spend to give you more specific recommendations on gear.
Anonymous
>>446646865 Thanks, I'll check those out.
As for how much I'm willing to spend, I'm not entirely sure myself, mainly because I'm not entirely sure what the price ranges for these things even are. I'd probably be willing to at least conciser stuff up to the low to mid 200 price range (maybe even up to 300, if that extra price increase will give me a huge improvement in quality), if it means I'll get a good product that I can potentially use forever
Or until my autism reaches that point where I'll want one of those 1:1 replicas of real sticks or whatever. (and worst case I wouldn't be surprised if the more common models aren't to hard to sell off on ebay and get at least some of my money back if I realize it was a waste of money)
I guess what I'm also curious about what exactly I need in terms of extra buttons/hats, since the ones you mentioned all seem to have various amounts of them. Before I realized my stick is broken I went through a control setup guide for the Su-25T in DCS, and it looked like using a keyboard for most of the stuff that doesn't directly relate to aircraft control works fine, but I imagine with more complicated planes there'll be more stuff you would want to be able to do without having to reach for your keyboard.

>>446648165 Well if you're willing to spend up to 200(I'm gonna assume either euros or dollars) then you might want to go with the T16000 Hotas, you can get it for around 140€ in my country, and in the US I'm seeing it priced at around 160$
>I guess what I'm also curious about what exactly I need in terms of extra buttons/hats, since the ones you mentioned all seem to have various amounts of them. Well, more buttons is always good(atleast to an extent, things can get out of hands with large setups) that way you'll have to rely less on the keyboard, not that there's anything wrong with that but having stuff on the stick and throttle is makes it usually quicker to access, the 16000 has a good amount of buttons and hats so it should serve you well.
Anonymous
>>446648165 Are you in EU or US? EU prices are generally a good deal higher because taxes.
Anyway the T16000 HOTAS that other anon recommended has an okay throttle but the stick only has one hat, which is not enough for most of the 4th gen aircraft (F-16, F-16, A-10, etc) to bind everything comfortably.
The most common price/value recommendation that finally has enough buttons and hats for every DCS jet is to take only the throttle from the Thrustmaster T16000M kit. It's called the Thrustmaster TWCS throttle and you can buy it alone. And then pair it up with a VKB Gladiator NXT EVO Space Combat Edition which is amazing stick for its price.
If you want to spend a bit more, then the next level is something like a WinWing Orion 2 throttle. You can either pair it up with the VKB Gladiator mentioned earlier, or just get the stick+throttle kit from Winwing.
Virpil is considered to be the high end, and it's definitely above your budget for now.

Anonymous
>>446648828 It's unironically a good entry level stick if you want to buy something for as cheap as possible that's not a complete waste of money. It's nowhere near a HOTAS with only 1 hat, so the anon was still joking, though.

>>446649049 I thought about recommending him a VKB but I feel like that's too much money for someone who's getting into flight sims and doesn't even know if he will like them in the first place, so that's why I told him to buy the 16000 HOTAS instead.

Forgot to mention I'm in the EU, my bad.
By the way, I went through some recommendations lists online and they mentioned a lot of the stuff that you guys were posting about. One thing I also saw there was the Logitech G X56, that seems to fall in my price range, but nobody here mentioned, any opinions on that?
Also I'm playing Elite Dangerous on and off with KBM, and while I never felt like I needed a stick for that, it's probably still a QoL improvement. So even if flight sims don't stick, I'll still have something to use the HOTAS for.

So, after turning my stick into a dead stick, i can confirm that this is so much fucking better to fly the hind. Overall having a great fucking time. The only annoying thing i've had with the setup is that you have to open the fucking throttle to increase the friction on the lever. Otherwise 10/10 will probably get the collective next time. also :>get comfortable with the helicopter >try to do one of those hard turns to quickly lose speed and land >works very well at first but i don't put power back quick enough and fall like a brick thats enough for tonight

if DCS wants to keep its status as a simulator it needs to severely nerf Russian airforce/russian aircraft. This is the SECOND war where they're getting shot down by literal farmers with cold war-era equipment lol. By now it's objectively confirmed that all those fancy SU-27/MIG-29 spec sheets have nothing to do with reality, it's just what the corrupt industry used to get the corrupt government contract.
Anonymous
>>446765363 To be fair most flight simulators simulate the plane is a "best case scenario" type of thing", so for example the Su-27 in DCS has the performance it should have in theory if made as it should be, rather than the performance of the actual one that's a result of poor manufacturing standards and having half of the electronics ripped out and sold to the black market.

Soviet/Russia has never ever made a single successful air offensive.
You might as well include The Chinese hypersonic stealth fighter and the Tic-Tac UFO in DCS at this point if it's just going to be a fantasy spec-sheet simulator.

Russia won WW2 big time. They didn't become a shithole because they lost so many people, but because they mishandled their economy and got baited into the Cold War race just like they got baited into attacking Ukraine now.

>>446775634 >what did they "win"? 1. defended themselves from German conquest
2. the territory of Soviet Union

>>446775634 >That was 90% Brits and US. Ah yes you know all those British and US soldiers that fought in the eastern front and pushed back the germans, yes, how could I forget about those, there were almost no soviet soldiers fighting in eastern europe! Silly me, how could I forget that!

>>446775804 >1. defended themselves from German conquest So half of the allied countries lost the war by your logic. And Japan won.
>2. the territory of Soviet Union Cool, they redrew some lines on a map. What good did it do for them? Look where they ended up today compared to germany.
>>446775834 Germany was rekking USSR, but in turn got rekt by US/UK and couldn't continue rekking USSR. Is that simple enough for you to understand?
>>446775967 Nobody won the vietnam war.

>>446776946 >What good did it do for them? Look where they ended up today compared to germany. If we go by this line of thinking then every country has lost every war. I mean, if you can retroactively lose a war because your nation crumbles after it ended then that means you can never win a war, because no country last forevers, they'll all fade away in the end, and so any achievement they have will be rendered null.
Have you actually been trying to send an anti-war message this whole time and I've just noticed it or something?

>>446777178 >retroactively lose a war I've said nothing such. I'm just saying that any sane definition of "winning" means clear benefits for the winner compared to before the war. You haven't been able to point out any.
Anonymous
>>446777804 I think the clear benefit was avoiding genocide
>yeah but millions of soviets died Yes, and that number would be a drop in the bucket compared to what Germany would have done if it had managed to completely crush soviet forces.
Anonymous
>>446778095 >avoiding genocide That just means they didn't lose as badly as they could have. And it was not their own efforts that saved them.

>>446778559 Ok so according to you you can only really win if you come out better than you were before? In that case, let's say you get into a fight, someone attacks you, and after a scuffle you manage to get him off of you and he runs away, would you say you won that fight?
Anonymous
>>446778851 >you can only really win if you come out better than you were before What other sane definition of "win" do you propose?
>would you say you won that fight? nobody won that fight. Would you want that to happen to you?
Anonymous
>>446779131 >What other sane definition of "win" do you propose? Accomplishing your objectives I would say. If my objectives are surviving then I would say fighting off an assailant is a victory to me. I don't know, to me this seems like a pretty clear definition of winning, if anything YOUR definition of winning seems very weird to me.
>nobody won that fight. Would you want that to happen to you? I don't want that to happen to me but if it did happen to me I would 100% say I won that fight, because I managed to survive, which is my main objective.

>>446779542 >Accomplishing your objectives Not getting attacked by Germany and losing 30 million men was their objective. Everything after that is damage control.
>I don't want that to happen to me So being a "winner" is a bad thing according to your definition.
>I managed to survive That means the other guy also won the fight dummy.

the Ka-50 is fun but it feels like there's nothing about it you can go in-depth into, except maybe some of the less used ABRIS functions
