Jesus the detail on the F-14 is fucking incredible. Makes me wonder about performance though.

>>137225475
>Something many of you have concerns about is performance. We're taking a very pro-active stance on ensuring that performance is optimal at release this time around.
We very much wish to ensure that the F-14 will perfectly on the vast majority of systems, and approaching things more carefully from the beginning will make it easier for us to make adjustments in the future.

>>137225475
"We have a number of techniques in mind to maximize texture and model fidelity while ensuring excellent performance; but as always-- we build our artwork to be downsized, rather than the other way around."

>>137225648
>>137225734
Oh good. The MiG-21 had some major performance issues when it first released, mainly due to LoD issues if I recall correctly.

FUCKING HYPED DESU

>>137225856
Honestly I'm trying to keep hype for the F-14 to a minimum right now so I can make it till 2025 when it's released.

But I'm still hyped as fuck for the Viggen and Gazelle.

And it was actually vertex count, it had too many texture parts, and every time you split a texture in place for the model you double the amount of vertices in that area, too many of that, and it all goes into the shitter, it's still has bad optimization though.

What do these release videos actually mean? The module is out of beta/pre-release? There were a couple of other videos posted a couple of weeks ago (Mig-21 I believe), I thought they were just reuploads.

What new has been added that wasn't in the game prior? Do they actually have functioning training missions (more than just cold start, etc.), campaigns, etc.?

>>137280223
They added training missions and tweaked a few final things. Same as the MiG-15 a few weeks ago.

Yeah it's dumb, but that's BST for ya. They should just not bother with the beta tag, it makes their modules look less complete than they are.

Is LN still aiming for a 2016 release for their F-14?

>>137282843
yup

>>137233478
Simply put it is whatever speed you need to keep the desired AOA for landing. For example the F-16 on speed AOA is 13 degrees on a 3 degree glideslope; so basically it's whatever speed puts you flight path indicator on the -3 degree mark while your nose is pinned at +10 degrees. This speed changes depending on your weight.

The reason for doing this is that it's more important that you fly the correct profile than it is you land at a given speed. Basically you want to pitch up as far as you safely can without a ground strike as this means you can go the slowest possible.

pisses me off that they had to make it eastern front, at least its a little better now without the god damned snow. but comeon.

why no north africa, or italy, generally a med setting would be cool.
or a fuckawesome pacific setting.

just because the god damned devs are russians they had to pick the absolutely worst setting.

>>137291241
I don't like the setting either because it looks so boring and I think it has a terrible lineup of planes. Everything is flat as shit. However I thought the snow was kind of good, because then it was pretty easy to find the enemy planes without labels. When I fly on the non-snow maps it gets a fuckload harder.

Coming to DCS in five years, and yes, that'd definitely be more interesting than the fucking early WW2 eastern front.

The huey missions where you need to stay in formation with the AI are annoying. The bastard says he keeps a speed of 100 knots, but really he jumps all over the place. Constant changes in elevation too. Refused to wait for me when I dropped off troops and failed the mission because he zoomed ahead.

There is literally nothing wrong with arcade or sim-lite flight games.

>>137299808
I found all of the huey missions boring, up until I quit them. I can't remember doing any actual missions, just senpai flights, ferrying the helicopter between airports and that stupid reporter mission. I think I may have done a single troop transport (if that, I just remember landing at red smoke, it's been a while).

There might be some decent ones later on but the 6th mission in a row you get that's nothing but a 60 minute A-B mission (with quality DCS mission making so half the time one of the check points doesn't trigger and you can't end the mission, or you do it all fine and land, and don't get the mission complete screen and can't progress. That happened to me 2 or 3 times on reporter mission I believe, after about 5 hours of in-game flying I just dropped the campaign)

F-14A is a very different plane from the F-14D, which is the F-14 most people think of when they talk about how hot shit they think the F-14 was.

It's contemporary to the F-16A, F-15A, yet as far as I can tell those planes had advanced HUD, RWR, electrical backup etc

>>137314329
My guess would be where their priorities lie. The F-14's primary mission was fleet defense, which meant intercepting bombers as fast as possible. The F-14 is no slouch in technical gizmos with its fuck huge radar and fuck huge active radar missiles. It's an impressive system even today, as it should be able to out-detect anything this side of an AESA.

Did you say FUCK HUGE RADAR?

>>137314329
It entered service in 1974 and was amazingly impressive and sophisticated for its time.

The Navy just had different priorities in their fighter than the Air Force. The USAF really saw the need for the TEWS after Vietnam, but the USN were less stringent in the requirements they set out for the F-14. They were more concerned about big fughueg missiles and a huge fire control radar than pouring money into advanced computerised avionics that at the time where only really a thing on the F-15A & AJ 37. Because of this lack of processing power the hud is pretty shit yeah.

What? Why?

How?

>>137317265
First plane to use integrated circuits, which was a big deal in 1971.

>>137317274

Well it's a long range interceptor meant to destroy bombers. It's so fuck huge that it can go afterburner all day.

So I guess if you can go fast, poop out your missiles at enemy bombers in one pass, and just run away from the escorts you don't need more Gs than that.

It's like the granddaddy of the Mig-25

>>137317440

Did it do anything special with it (like more advanced radar/ rwr/ HUD) or did it just result in smaller avionics?

>>137317728
It was meant to help reduce the workload to a manageable amount for just one pilot. So you had shit like:
A terrain mapping radar.
True CCIP & CCRP not based on gyros.
An RWR with data recording features.
Anti-ship missiles.
A HUD, nothing too fancy but at least not a lagg fest like the F-14A.

What's the big difference between the Mig-19 and the 21 that led to the 19 being replaced quickly while the 21 has been in service for 60 years?

Such a shame too. I really like the Mig-19's aesthetics.

>>137325538
The air combat meta changed.

>>137325538
It'd be kinda hard to upgrade the MiG-19 with more capable A2A function, without modifying the nose section extensively. Putting a radar on that nose would require changing that air intake drastically, to the point of impracticality.

>>137349367
>>137350896
I never understood civilian flight sims, especially airliners.

You spend 15 minutes doing checks and start up, take off, and then you're sitting on autopilot for the next 6-12 hours, until it's time to land, which takes another 15 minutes. I don't know how people can just sit there staring at the horizon for 8 hours straight, unless they're being paid a lot of money for it like actual pilots are.

Helicopters, and small aircraft like Cessnas I understand because in most cases you're actually the one flying them, the trips are shorter and you can practice with them if you want to get a civilian license. If you're at the point where you're playing airliner sims, it's probably far too late for you to actually get a job in that field.

Do you know much about the hawk itself? I'm wondering if the HUD we're using in the module is the actual one the aircraft gets, or if it's just a placeholder.

I don't even understand the symbology of it.

I guess the top dot is the nose line of the aircraft, the dot beneath it is the weapons line? No idea what the moving reticule is supposed to indicate.

And also is it possible to set a mission up in the air where the seekers start pre-cooled, instead of the game beginning you in the middle of a dogfight and you have to somehow survive 2+ minutes without being able to return fire because you have to enable the coolant.

Pic vaguely related, just wanted one where you can kind of see the HUD for reference. The new textures look amazing if you compare them to this shit to be honest, I actually forgot how bad they are/were.

>>137359729
It's not a HUD, and yes it's final. It's the wrong colour but it's final.

>>137359859
What does the information on the display actually mean then?

The moving reticule surely can't be for any accurate guns employment since it isn't being fed any radar information (or even old gyroscopic information where you punch in range to target and wingspan?) It can't be for missile employment since I imagine the missiles would be tied to boresight (at least partially, since they can scan, but I can never get that to work, not least because there's no lock on tone and I hate having to look away from the front of my aircraft to see if I'm locked or not)

I really have no clue.

On another note, is it possible to ramp up the rate of fire for the rocket pods? They seem to fire insanely slow for how minuscule their explosive content is (massive rockets you can understand why they'd have a slower rate of fire, but these are so small they surely need to be fired in a volley like those on the L39, etc.), whereas unless I'm missing something, they seem to fire at about 1 (single, not pair) per second.

I'll admit I'm just fannying on in the aircraft and haven't played the tutorials (not since I was conned into buying it years ago, at least, forgot most of that)

>>137374262
For whatever reason the recoil from weapons (even 7.92mm and other rifle rounds) in BoS throws your plane around far more than it feels should be the case, I'm not sure why.

Pretty much all kinds with very good simulation depth. I'd prefer small jets since I have no idea how all that pitch/mixture stuff works. But any is fine desu. Not a fan of big fat jumbos but whatever.

>>137387774
Small jets you say? I really like the QualityWings BAE 146/Avro RJ (as seen in >>137351842 >>137349367) Not super in depth (no failure modelling), has pretty much everything else though.

If you want something a little bigger and more complex, PMDG's 737 model is excellent.

>>137387774
>I have no idea how all that pitch/mixture stuff works
Mixture: the proportion between air and fuel. The higher you go, the more you decrease mixture, if you're on the ground at sea level you can set it to more than 100%.

Prop pitch: Like gears in cars. In IL-2 1946 100% prop pitch is like the first gear, in other sims it's the other way around.

>>137388320
Oh and about prop pitch and power settings: if you want to haul ass you set throttle at 100% and then modify the prop pitch so that the engine remains on the power band (the, so to say, optimal value). If you want to fly with more efficiency you leave the prop pitch at the optimal value and decrease throttle.

>>137388195
Alright I think I will go with the PMDG pack since it's available on a certain site.

Also how the fuck can I activate mouse look and zoom in P3D? This shit behaves like fucking FSX what is this?

So when is the DCS patch actually rolling out? I thought it was out by now. The one that adds non-horrendous (just mostly horrendous) textures, sidewinder audio (also horrendous), etc.?

Also, I haven't been following development because I didn't really play much of it (only bought it on sale), but does Battle of Moscow plug into BoS, similar to the DCS modules? Or is it going to be a separate title? Just wondering, I can't imagine I'll actually play it before it gets massively discounted.

>>137419838
It was a beta patch, it's on the beta branch and will likely hit stable on Friday.

>>137420032
Is there a way to switch to dev branch (not steam) without having to reinstall all 20 odd gigs (I know I could copy the files into the new folder but I'm too lazy to do that as well)?

Do we typically play multiplayer on dev or stable?

>>137420325
>Do we typically play multiplayer on dev or stable?
Stable.

and afaik when you install beta it copies most of the files across from stable rather than re-downloading them

>>137420325
If you use the standalone non-steam game then you can use the command line updater program to install whatever version of the game you want at any time without a full reinstall.

>>137420501
>>137420494
Cheers.

If we play on stable I'll just not bother and wait for the regular release of the patch, then. I can't be bothered with multiple versions installed at the same time.

>>137403627
If you've already moved pass the detent, then just realize that that part of the startup is bugged and weird. I think the best I've been able to do is just go full throttle with it and cycle between full and idle a few times. It's something to do with the way Falcon interprets the throttle and how it seems to be out of sync until you "calibrate it" during a flight.

It's all kinds of strange. There's actually a setting in the Configurator that changes how that step works in the plane so it's less trouble.

>>137420325
You can switch over your current install by doing "update @openbeta" on the Updater, and "update @release" to go back to the stable branch.

This thread has all the info on the Updater.

You can still see the exterior wings, so its the wings of the external model.

I got jumped by a MiG-29 ten minutes in, then a MiG-31 when we were close to the IP.

One SEAD aircraft froze and crashed into a mountain and the other stalled trying to dodge a MiG-31. Then the remaining strike aircraft got rest over the target due to no SEAD.

Then to top it all off I got jumped by ANOTHER MiG-31 while I only had 1500 pounds of fuel remaining.

We definitely need to try this op with more people cuz that shit was fun.

>>137429540
I didn't fly that op, but missions where things go to shit are often the most fun and interesting ones.

In a year maybe.

which racing games are considered sims?
which are actually fun I should buy?

I'm looking at dirt rally, project cars, and assetto corsa, etc. on steam

I don't have a wheel but I have headtracking and I want to play in cockpit view probably

>>137434102
I used to play project cars it was pretty fun with a wheel and trackir although word on the street is the simulation isnt as good as asseto corsa, nevertheless it was hella fun specially the turbo lotus f1 car holy shit that thing is a beast, also the career mode was quite comfy.

>which racing games are considered sims
In no particular order: Assetto Corsa, rFactor 1/2, Game Stock Car/Automobilista, RaceRoom Racing Entertainment, Project CARS, and iRacing.

>which are actually fun I should buy?
>fun

What racing sim you want/like will depend a lot on what you're looking to get out of it.

>Dirt Rally
Pretty great game overall if you like rally driving. Not much else to say.

>Assetto Corsa
Great for hotlapping and decent sized MP, but no SP worth speaking of.

>rFactor 2
Autismo express and extremely realistic, but has serious lack of content and what it does have is super patchwork. Great SP experience, non-existent MP because it requires a separate online pass.

>Game Stock Car/Automobilista
Probably the most content/feature complete, but YMMV when it comes to the obscure series included. Great SP, very tiny MP community.

>RaceRoom
Pretty fun to drive and is inundated with content, but you have to pay for it all with an over-complicated and obtuse pay model. Pretty good SP, very tiny MP community due to horrible content fragmentation from its pay model. This my go to racing sim.

>Project CARS
The game is a trainwreck of bugs, fuckups, and stupid design decisions, but on the rare occasion shit works, it's >fun. It's hard to sum this game up because for everything it does amazingly well (graphics, muh immershun, lots of little things) it completely fucks up something else (AI, stupid physics bugs, lots of little things). When it works, good SP and decent sized MP community.

>iRacing
The only real answer if you want to primarily play MP. Has no SP whatsoever. If you want to get into this you better have deep pockets because you have to pay a monthly subscription as well as buy each car/track individually.

>>137437469
I never thought that the racing sim scene was such a trainwreck.

I love that in BMS other players can see your pilots head move in every direction.

DCS sorta has it, but its just left and right. BMS is way more precise.

Small detail but its pretty cool

The whole genre is kinda shit desu right now, so it's mostly about just trying everything and going with which package you like the most. Unlike modern combat flight sims where you have 2 very good and complimentary options (DCS and BMS), racing sims you have a dearth of unfinished feeling options that you choose the one with the downsides you can deal with the most.

It's hard not to end up owning or at least trying all the sims out there because they're all good and bad at different things.

>>137438079
What happened to Richard Burns' and CTR2?

>>137438063
"Lead, look back and smile at the camera"

>>137438063
>DCS sorta has it, but its just left and right
Even fucking IL-2 1946 has the pilots look at every direction.

>>137438187
Richard Burns didn't go anywhere. If you want to play it you still can. Ditto for GTR2.

I know there's a handful of autistic fucks who cannot stand that DIRT Rally exists and will wax lyrical about RBR is God's Racing Sim, but I can't speak for RBR myself because I'm not big into rally and didn't play it.

As for GTR2 (and Race 07), it's still a great package overall, but it definitely shows its age and nowadays I find the physics and FFB to be weird.

>>137437469
Something else I overlooked because I was trying to keep it brief was modding. I know for some people this is make or break.

>Assetto Corsa
Super moddable and has a shit ton of mods. It's becoming, if not already is,the modern rFactor in terms of how many cars/tracks are available. Quality is all over the place.

>rFactor 2
Not many mods available because rF2's physics are complicated enough to scare away most mod teams. In theory though, it's just as moddable as rFactor 1.

>GSC/Automobilista
Super moddable because it's glorified rFactor 1. Fewer mods, but they tend to be higher quality because they're ports of the good stuff from rFactor 1.

>RaceRoom
No modding and always online.

>Project CARS
No modding either, but at least it doesn't require a constant internet connection to play.

>iRacing
No modding whatsoever due to its online competitive matchmaking format. Skins can be modified through a third party program that everybody runs and you can see other people's skins.

>>137439849
I want to get into racing sims after playing my brothers Iracing account. I'm pretty decent at Forza 6 and driving in general.

Which of those would you recommend? Also what are some good steering wheels?

it's getting HOT in here
