Flight sim thread, c'mon faggots.

Is the new IL-2 any good? I was interested, but then I saw Early Access...

is that DCS? Any good?

My only experience with Flight Sim games has only been Microsoft Flight Simulator X and the Accelleration expansion pack, which I managed pretty alright, though sometimes went completely over my head.

That's BMS anon, not DCS. It's free, you just need the original exe of the original falcon 4.0 (not allied force) which is easy to download.

Nah, it's Falcon 4 BMS. The only DCS module that can come close to F4 is the A-10C. Falcon 4's flight model is based off of real F-16 data released by NASA and it has an amazing dynamic campaign system where the enemy is actively moving their own units and having their own missions while you and your army do the same thing. It has a steep learning curve but it's fun as fuck and very rewarding when you get stuff down.

I'm interested in it since I've never done any WW2 sims except when I was a really young kid, but at 60$ or whatever I'm gonna wait for it to go on sale.

DCS world is free to download and has the fully simulated unarmed variant of the mustang.

i wish they made a B-17 bomber that allowed multiple people into the same plane

best coop ever

Yea, I have DCS world along with FC3 so I might give the Mustang a shot, just haven't got around to it. I really wish I could figure out why the Prtscrn button on my new keyboard won't work, can only use these super old screenshots.

Does the base free Frogfoot in DCS World also go into multiplayer, I recently bought my so a cheap one so he can get into it since he's wanted to and it'd be great if we could test out some ops on that.

>>258218924
It's made by the Rise of Flight devs on a modified Rise of Flight engine.
So far the early access was good, but they haven't revealed the career mode yet.

I remember an old WW2 sim, I think it was called Warbirds. It let you do that.

Actually iirc you can do that in IL-2 1946 if you set it up, along with Aces High

well that, and the original B-17 for MS-DOS

but we're finally biting the heels of the technological singularity that would make it possible to make this a fully interactive experience, with people walking around inside the aircraft, taking posts, operating and repairing the machines, healing eachother, manually parachuting, etc.

we can do that now.

maybe it's mashed with another key like sysrq or something

try pressing shift

>>258221586
Played Warbirds with a friend on one of those ancient token ring LANs with those thick round cables.
Good memories.

With DCS WW2 costing $50 per plane and warthunder kids even complaining about Il2:BOS prices, flight sims are never going to be popular mass market again.

>>258222061
will it ever happen?

ED appears to have walked away from the apache module and that's just 2 people in there.

>>258221078
Yes, everything that works with DCS world works in multiplayer.

Does Mig-21 have a fucking release date yet?
