It's not that hard to grasp f-a-m, DCS is the crysis of our day

>>145137230
Sims are filled with optimization issues so you're better off with a mid to high end rig, at least. I'd recommend an intel processor because a lot of vidya is meh to bad at handling more than 4 cores.

>I wanted to use DCS as my reference point
read the recommended specs and add a bit more of raw power to the mix

>>145139553
Are you genuinely retarded? Crysis was a benchmark because
1. it looked good
2. it required not only a beefy CPU but also a lot of graphical power.

DCS is bottlenecked by the CPU first and foremost, then storage devices, and also RAM.

>>145139893
Oh and for the record Crysis can run with decent FPS even on toasters if you play with potato settings, the same can't be said about DCS.

>>145139553
>crysis of our day
It could run well. But can eat more when asked to.

DCS eats everything, then shits out 2 FPS.

so what I've gathered from the comments so far is that none of you have 60fps. no need to be salty

I can get 60fps in MP with most of the settings turned way low. Old ass Core i7 920, GTX560ti, 12GB of RAM. For whatever reason DCS seems really limited by non-sequential read speeds, adding a cheap SSD made a world of difference in performance.

Though then you have cases such as this were the game just straight up says "No fuck you enjoy your 15FPS" for the smallest of stuff. Also cases when the game had a memory leak before some patch fixed it and I couldn't play MP/large instant actions without the game freezing.

So basically, don't base a computer off of DCS specs.

Is anyone else's x52 slider jumpy? I wanted to use it for the zoom function, but it jumps a lot for anything but the minimum or maximum setting. Should I use one of the rotaries instead?

>>145183545
I have the 52 pro and yeah, the slider is spastic as fuck.
> Should I use one of the rotaries instead?
It's what I did. Set up a small deadzone in the middle though, because it can get twitchy at times when centered.

>>145183545
The slider is horrific, i use it as a button for the airbrake.

i use the top rotary for zooming in and out, it's the least jumpy for me, and i use the smaller rotary with the i button for zooming in screens and shit.

>>145183545

For me it's the opposite. thanks to the mig-21 I thought I just sucked completely at landings, but getting into another plane made me realize that the mig-21 just hates flying.

>>145193147
>what does the big red dot on the right side of the mig21's radar when you've locked up a target mean?
something to do with range I think
>I assume friendly?
no, the IFF symbology is the same as the modern russian planes.

>>145193147

When you lock something, you'll eventually get a tone. That's max range.

Get closer and you get red symbology, that RTR/Second pull etc. Shoot then.

IFF can only be done before you lock. Minus is enemies, equal sign is friendly.

Once they're locked you get no indication.

I really gotta learn how to deal with those spins it loves to get into when I turn it a little bit more than it likes.

>>145189163

honestly any time I land anything fixed wing I tend to basically stall it right at the runway threshold. Fucked if I know why, but if I'm not following a specific landing profile I will drop airspeed as much as I can until I hit critical AoA, then land like that. Maybe I was a bush pilot in a former life and had to learn how to make minimum-length landings a lot or some shit.

>>145199965
You'd be better off (and spend less time fighting the plane) if you just learned how not to induce those spins.

Basically just be gentle with the stick.

>>145200303
but the mig21 isn't supposed to come in with a high AoA

>>145200795

hence why I'm shit at landing the fishbed

the fagot, though, doesn't have itty bitty lil wings, so it works.

>>145200303
Fly your approach speed then find a point on the runway and keep that point as still as you can. Then as the end of the runway goes beneath you, look at the end of the runway, go to idle power, and keep bringing the nose up to meet the end.

Using that technique you should theoretically be able to land any plane nicely.

>>145200521
I am gentle with it most of the time, but sometimes in the middle of a dogfight I pull a little bit too hard, and spin my way into the ground.

Stalling it on the threshold is risky, it'll give you the shortest roll out, but as long as you are not overweight you shouldn't need to.
The correct way to do it is find the appropriate pitch and then use your throttle to adjust AoA until you intercept the glide path and follow it down.

The glide slope is always 3 degrees so if you know your landing AoA, just subtract 3 to give you the correct pitch, then just use you throttle to follow the glide path (add power if you are under it, decrease power if you are over it).

>>145202560
You want to run DCS on an SSD anyway. Everyone who does notices a significant performance boost.

They do generally pick up on moving targets. And, as a helicopter, by virtue of your method of lift generation, you're always a moving target- your rotor disc is turning insanely fast.

Now in reality you'd likely be able to hide amongst ground clutter to reduce the range at which you were visible to radar, but at the moment the only aircraft with any sort of ground reflections on radar only has -1.5deg scan elevation below the horizon, so you're probably not going to be sniffed out by a fishbed.

A flight simulator is a device that artificially re-creates aircraft flight and the environment in which it flies, for pilot training, design, or other purposes. It includes replicating the equations that govern how aircraft fly, how they react to applications of flight controls, the effects of other aircraft systems, and how the aircraft reacts to external factors such as air density, turbulence, wind shear, cloud, precipitation, etc. Flight simulation is used for a variety of reasons, including flight training (mainly of pilots), the design and development of the aircraft itself, and research into aircraft characteristics and control handling qualities.

The Meteor and Willy-262, maybe the P-80. That's it. I wouldn't be against the Vampire or the MiG-9 or He-162 but I wouldn't warmly receive them either. The Horten 229 can go fuck itself though.

The Italian F-104S is the only Starfighter to ever carry a radar guided missile and that was a late addition. It's very difficult to find photos of F-104S's carrying Sparrows. I think I've only seen two or three.

If an F-104 was added to DCS it would either be a USAF F-104C, or the F-104G, which was the most common model by far. Neither carried radar guided air to air missiles.

The S is a tiny fraction of all Starfighters ever built, while the G was almost half.

>>145235203
Are you sure you actually hit it?

>>145235005
In that case, I'm curious what your definition of a 2nd generation fighter is then, because the F-104 was a contemporary to other 2nd gen fighters such as the F-102, F-105, and F-106 (which was also a mach 2 interceptor). Those are the kinds of planes I've always heard of when reading about 2nd generation fighters.

I haven't flown since the /fsg/ days and want to get back into some DCS, when do you regularly fly ops?

>>145235372
1st gen: WW2 shit, postwar shit with straight wings.
2nd gen: shit with swept wings and/or ranging radar.
3rd gen: shit that can break the speed of sound on straight level and/or equipped with search radar.

>>145235274

>explosions on the fuselage and tail section

>after action report showed 10 HEI and 2 AP hits
Doesn't the MiG-15 suffer from the same "meme" as the P-51 and the F-86s, being that AP is just ball and HEI is just tracer rounds?

>>145235632
I mean you can just make up your own definitions if you want, but be aware that most people aren't going to understand what you're talking about if you use it when talking to others. What even falls under second generation for you? Even the F-100 could fly supersonic. It seems to me like you're trying to use 2nd generation to very specifically define post war Korean era fighters like the F-86, MiG-17, and not much else.

Once you start including things like radars and swept wings, it's hard to find a plane that wasn't also supersonic or capable of searching for targets. There's a lot of overlap with what you're calling 3rd generation.

>>145236789
That's actually AFM's definition of "generations", and I think that it's the one that makes the most sense. Because really, lumping the F-86 together with WW2 shit is just dumb.

>>145235632
What is the point of ranging without searching? It feels like searching is a far more useful function, and for radar to have evolved like that seems counter-intuitive to me.

>>145237356

Gun sights. Using a ranging radar to feed the exact range to a radar gunsight makes accurate gunnery easier.

>>145237356
>What is the point of ranging without searching
It makes gunsights much more accurate. Basically a crutch for shiters. Funfact: IIRC some pilots gave those sights monikers such as "ace maker".


>and for radar to have evolved like that seems counter-intuitive to me.
Lolno. A ranging radar is much simpler than a search radar with all that entails, and a search radar isn't that useful on a plane that operates from an area that has radars installed on the ground, because of GCI.

>>145237130
Reading the AFM definition on wiki makes it make a lot more sense, and I realize how subjective and arbitrary these definitions tend to be.

In the wild, I often hear the Air Force Magazine version because the 4, 4+ and 4++ definitions contain very important distinctions and most of what I read about in my day to day life is current events in the industry.

>>145246461

M2000 is neato for modern-ish multirole fighter (in that it can bomb truck and carry rockets), but it's a WIP module and it shows in some areas.

F-86 is cool and really turny and fun to fly but there's not much in DCS for it- just the MiG-15 and T-55s and shit. The bad AI flight/damage modelling shows like crazy when you get into subsonic-only gunfighters like the Sabre (it has missiles available, but they're awful against a maneuvering target), and the Sabre also suffers from the same limpdick .50s that the P-51 does.

Restart the software maybe? Opentrack you can just toggle it off and on again easily within the software and the game detects it being disabled and enabled. If for some reason the game stops detecting it which has only happened once for me in my year and a half of using it, you can just toggle it off and on and it works again.

>rotor is moving
Away from the radar? Rotation != relative movement, you fucking idiot. If the radar picked any scattered background noise like this you would see every fucking metal radio tower as an airborne target on the screen. You don't have a heli body reflection when it's hovering. Every point on the heli blade have different linear speed. Every heli have a different number of blades and a random rpm. Radar greatly depends on clutter filtering when acquiring low targets. Only modern radars have a digital signal processing algorithms to analyze and localize the scattered noise source. Even then, they are not able to have a solid lock and it greatly reduces distance of detection and engagement compared to high and moving targets.

The Thrustmaster software, it's more meant for the warthog but it works with some other TM sticks as well. You probably wouldn't use it but it's some pretty powerful macro software if you're into that.

>>145260548
the button layout really kills it though, but I guess its a price to pay for a better build quality

>>145261671
If the 3d pro looks that much better to you just get it, it's not shit tier or anything.

>>145260414
I have a 3D pro and upgraded inb4 shitposting to an X-55

The 3D pro is a decent stick but you'll need to setup massive deadzones for it. The hat on it is pretty bad too and the software for the stick is very bare bones. It is comfortable though for the most part with a bunch of rubber bands stacked up near the base above the hand rest unless you have gigantic hands. The hand rest of the stick is very uncomfortable if it doesn't fit you just right.

You'll also find that it'll probably lack buttons for a space game like star citizen as you'll already be using a pretty large number of modifier keys plus using the keyboard itself in DCS alone for just the FC3 modules, let alone the full fidelity sims.

Well...
The thrustmaster hotas X is a much better buy, and so is the VKB cobra.

VKB cobra is probably the best cheap stick you can get.

The Cobra M5 isn't made by VKB.

Some shitty slav company called Defender, VKB just help sell it in the west.

>>145262461
It's designed by VKB though.

>>145262512
But thankfully I'm technically correct.

The best kind.

Maybe I should've stated that I'm not the poster that was looking for a stick for spess sims.

Now its sounding kinda shitty.

what does it mean exactly

afaik it's not bad, but everyone I know of is pretty sad that that paddle thing on the throttle is an axis and not just two buttons. Or else it would be a good way to bind zoom view.

>>145263560
I say massive in comparison to my X-55 which I don't use any deadzones on at all. I think I used about 5-10% deadzones on x and y axis with a 20-25% deadzone on the rudder twist. I don't recall my stick having too much of a physical deadzone but the way it centers and lack of resistance until you push the stick more requires a larger deadzone setting.

I've heard the stick gets less accurate over time as well with more use so those may increase. The way it centers is a rubber/silicone thing that essentially pulls the stick back to center plus a spring in there somewhere I think so I can see how it wears down in strength over time.

>>145263826
Depending on how it works I could bind the radiator there, or the trim because Im fiddling constantly with that, or something. That said, I dont know how it works even after watching an attempt of a review. It looked like it behaved like buttons instead of an axis so Im fairly confused.

>>145263953
Now I get what you mean. I thought only the x52 had issues with the resistance but it seems like that isnt the case. I went springless once with a cheap joystick I have and it was absolutely awful so Im not willing to go through that again.
I'll think about the 3d pro as an alternative, if anything.

>>145264953
>Depending on how it works I could bind the radiator there,
It springs back to centre, that's why it's of dubious use.

>>145265023
>springs back to center

Who the fuck thought that was a good idea? I guess you could always just pull the springs out, looks easy enough to disassemble the part.

You happen to live in Brazil by any chance, anon? I live here and had one.

>Now I have a boner. Anything about this stick not stated in the pastebin?

I owned it for about 2 years. The spring resistance on the stick is adjustable through a knob under the base, the stick itself has short travel (if compared to my current CH setup), only one hat and the paddle on the throttle is an axis centered on the middle. Although, like you stated, you -could- in theory work around that by removing the spring.

The big pro of the hotasx is that it's probably the cheapest HOTAS setup available while the con is that you're limited to 1 hat and the buttons it provides.

Next to it, actually.

>the stick itself has short travel
I guess I could deal with that. Im using a very, very cheap stick with short travel so Im kinda used to it. I just want a stick without accuracy issues, especially in the rudder twist.
I'd go for the T16000M but there's no fucking way to fit everything in 6-8 buttons since the other 6 might as well not exist at all.

Like with all cheap sticks, you need to augment it with lots of keyboard binds.

Is the Barringer Crater in the Arizona update on ATS?

It's the first version of an ancient guide as old as this general, why that anon saved it is beyond me.

Consider saving up whateveryourcurrencyis to import a more high end HOTAS setup in the future, the difference is out of this world.

>the stick itself has short travel

Do take in mind I'm comparing it with the CH stick which has fuckhueg travel

> I just want a stick without accuracy issues

Never had any problems with mine in the years I used it, look up if anyone has had any issues with it over the internet I suppose.

>I'd go for the T16000M but there's no fucking way to fit everything in 6-8 buttons

Hotas X doesn't have that many buttons either, anon. Nothing on the base so what you see on the throttle handle and stick is what you get.

>>145268454
Have the slightly less older version.

>>145265751
CH doesn't feel cheap, the plastic is like industrial quality. It's light but it feels like you could throw it across the room and it wouldn't break.

Also it's got enough binds on the stick and throttle to map out the entire A-10C HOTAS so it's def the next best thing if the Thrustmaster is out of your price range.

Also actual fighter jet sticks are made out of plastic, unless they are Russian sticks, in which case they are clubs that are also pretty good at controlling planes.

Anyway, it's beyond me why people ever recommend anything from logitech, esspecially their joystic, both the G940 and the 3d pro are pieces of crap, and while the g940 can be fixed if you are good with electronics and soldering, there's no hope for the 3d pro, it should only be bought if the only other thing you can get is the saitek av8r or cyborg falls apart in your hands stick
