Guy who likes planes and wants to play DCS here

How much single player content does the game have and and how good?
Which module is the easiest to learn without being babby shit?
Which module is the best in multiplayer without being OP?
How populated and active is the multiplayer?
Are hotas and trackir really truly necessary?
How demanding is the game in terms of hardware?
How much can it be modded?

>>183060870
>single player and how good
That depends how much you want to get into the mission maker. DCS is a sandbox so as long as you are autistic enough to make different missions you will always have content.
>Easiest non-baby
Probably the F-5E or at least it's a fantastic place to start.
>Best multiplayer
The Mirage, it's the most competitive full-fidelity module at the moment. Though you can do some great things with the MiG-21 if you get good.
>Population and activity
It's populated enough but fairly ded, apart from weekends you'll rarely find more than 30 people in a server at once. Best to find a group to fly with.
>Hotas and tracking
No, not at all. Some of the best fighters in /simg/ only have a basic stick. Hotas and all that just make your life easier, being able to spot with trackir especially.
>Hardware
It's nothing crazy but you will need a very good pc if you want butter smooth high frames
>Mods
There are a lot of mods that do great things but a lot aren't shared publicly and ED has broken a lot of them on recent patches. Assuming they go back on this, yes the game can be modded to a decent level

>>183060940
I honestly forgot about the trainers. Guess I should pick them up to be maximum cashcow.

>In 1992, a long awaited dream came true for both sides when after negotiations, the Su-27s made a friendly visit to the USAF base in Virginia for mock combat with their nemesis F-15s. It was decided that there would be 2 rounds of dogfights in which the Su-27 would be the tail for one round and vice versa for the other round. First, the Su-27 tailed the F-15 in a mock dogfight, but the Eagle failed to break the tail and disengage the Flanker. In the second round, the F-15 tailed the Su-27. The flanker pilot managed to rapidly reduce speed and did a one and half turn which made the F-15 to shoot past and put the flanker on the tail of the eagle. This meant that the Su-27 clearly won both the mock dogfighting rounds and showed its worth. The America general flew in a 2 seat Su-27 and later on indicated that its maneuverability was better than that of the F-15. It was a sweet victory for the Su-27 of the now Russian Air Force.

It would be nice if it was trucks, or better still bikes, but it's not, and it's all that there is out there. The parts are generic, one brake caliper fits all, but it's not bad for what it is. There's a new version out in a few days, which promises mod support, which might breath a whole lease of life into it, as it does with Eurotruck, but we will see.

They could do with more optimization for sure, as loading times are often long

Sorry
You know how the Mig-21 has the needle which can 'home' on airports? That's called a VOR (or RSBN), it sends out a compass rose that tells planes "Hey, you're in this direction from the airport and you're this far away."

I like it in the mig21 because all you have to do is find an airport that's in a straight line to the target and just fly that straight line (called a 'radial'). I'm not sure if the FC3 planes have it, and if they don't, I don't understand how you're supposed to do things like read AWACS offsets (what good is an offset if I don't have a point of reference?) etc.

>>183138008
That sucks, I really, really like how it's handled in the F-5E and the Mig-21.

I will say that, while I haven't tried the FC3 planes much because I just started DCS, ground attack in the MIg-21 has been the most fun I've had with the game.

I've tried playing air superiority grab-ass and got rekt every time (I'm not great). But ground attack seems to be a really good feature of this aircraft. Can I primarily use it for that in servers and just leave air superiority to the big guys?

Well, it's how it works in su-27
ILS landing is where it's at. You can see airport locations on screen on the right. and Instruments pointing to selected airport too.

>>183139037
But it's arcade plane so what can you expect. I hope I can get mig-21 as soon as possible, because I love advanced stuff

>>183139037
>>183139175
I wrote it way wrong.
You can see where to go if you ask ATC. Or you can check screen, and those strips are airports.
Ooor select return mode, and switch to airport you want(you see distance, direction, and location on that screen)

The 'Steeple Cab' locomotive has a temperature gauge for the traction motors. You have to carefully manage power applications so you don't melt them. I let the gauge get off the scale once, and luckily didn't destroy the locomotive.

>>183143198
Your goal is to 'relieve control pressure.' This means anytime you're having to hold the stick in some position to keep the aircraft in a steady state, you should trim that control command. The goal is to be able to release the stick, and have no change in aircraft performance.

Example, you're having to press slight forward stick (down elevator) to maintain a descent. You should apply down elevator trim slowly. As you add trim, you will find that it takes less forward stick to keep the same descent rate. At some point, you will have added enough trim to release all forward pressure on the stick.

At this point, the aircraft is in trim. Accomplish this procedure all axis (Pitch, Roll, Yaw) anytime the state will remain constant.

Don't trim the aircraft for turns, and don't try to fly the airplane using the trim controls.. remember, the only purpose of trim is relieve you from having to hold a constant pressure on the controls.

>>183143896
Your biggest concern will be RAM for the number of assets which should be loaded.. it should be pretty relaxed for CPU/GPU.

Here's something I forgot about trimming in FSX.

If you bind the trim switches to your joystick buttons (you should) make sure the repeat slider is maxed all the way. You don't want any delay in moving the trim wheel, and you don't want this "one press = one click of trim."

Then, press the trim switch for less than 1 second, and see how the aircraft responds. When I trim in FSX I never hold the trim button, it's always a continuous process of repeated clicking until the aircraft is in trim.

>>183145058
samefag again lol.

Really though, this advice applies to DCS, every other sim, and real aircraft.
Until you get really comfortable in trimming aircraft, it should always be an incremental process. Use some trim...wait...use some trim...wait.

Hell, in airliners if you actuate a trim switch for more than 3 seconds continuously the command is ignored. The airplane thinks the switch is stuck!

What the hell, I just found out that I can hold trim button and move joystick where I want it to trim with su-27. But never heard anyone talk about this

>>183145506
Um, it doesn't work like that. Are you talking about the stick to trimmer mode? You hold it and you move your stick to move the trim, and then let go.

Instead of trimming with the hat or buttons, you make your stick the trimmer for as long as you hold the button. Full fidelity planes can bind trim to their ass if they wanted to.

>>183146372
I explained it wrong, but you're point on. I'm just bad at explaining :(

>Get in Su-27

Tell me if its possible for you trim far enough forward/down to stay level.

Either something is fucked with my controls, or you run out of trim authority at faster than 900km and below like 3000 meters. I've never noticed that shit, and it's super annoying.

VBS certainly think its a sim.

I prefer the definition that a simulation constrains its world to produce 'realistic' (verisimilitudinous) behaviour, its not necessarily that everything in it has to be identical to the real world to achieve that.

The truth if you are playing ArmA its unrealistic because you are pressing buttons a keyboard, not running around scared shitless throwing up from the exertion. People would also found months of boredom followed by thirty seconds of terror not a very good return.

In the case of flying and driving, how much fidelity is full fidelity anyway. It should actually be harder to drive or fly because you are missing a vast amount of cues (esp. from motion/vestibular), so where is this all going.

The issue then is really does the thing offer constraints that result in behaviour that seems realistic. If you have a shit flight model that allows you to pull 15G, clearly you are doing something unrealistic and I have to respond in an unrealistic way too.

The HDD, also one of the letters starts blinking on the hud when you are leaving the limits, meaning you should turn back in.

>tfw you are like "hmm mirage 2000c" but then a fucking full-on better modeled latest model f-18c peeks around a distant corner and winks at you

how well is mirage modeled? is it still an unrealistic meme?

>>183206485
The f18 isnt happening before 2019 and it will be at least 200$.
Didnt they roped in all the third party devs to make it? Im sure they promised all of them 60$/sale...
