>>145517729
>>145517738
Yep, android. It's working like a charm (even though I look kinda stupid with my phone on my head).
I'm building a freetrack though, already have the emitter but I'll try to buy a PS3 Eye next paycheck because it's kinda hard to get one around here (at least one without the Move)
>>145517937

Though we should probably use "read the fucking pastebin" written in red as the thread OP image as nobody seems to be even aware it's there.
looking to buy a new cpu. My understanding is that DCS isn't really multi-threaded and that having less but more powerful cores is most important correct?
>>145537564
Yeah, DCS runs on one core (with audio handled on a second, IIRC)
so single-core performance trumps multiple cores. That's actually true for most games, from what I understand
>>145537564
Correct. Either get a Sandy Bridge and OC at will (i'm 100% serious, those CPUs are the embodiment of futureproof), or get a newer Intel CPU, delid it and replace the fuckawful thermal paste between the heat spreader and the die with Noctua or something. Of you don't need a fucking hammer for deliding it.
>>145537950
>>145538020
thanks, i'm currently looking at Intel's i3-6100. From what i've been reading it seems to have amazing single core performance for the price. Seems like it would do really well with DCS
>>145537394
I meant that the picrelated and pastebin would work in union, complementing eachother.
I agree completely with
>Though we should probably use "read the fucking pastebin" written in red as the thread OP image as nobody seems to be even aware it's there.
Pull up!
>>145538142
Just make sure that you can OC it, inform yourself on how to do it if it's possible, and get the "tray" version of that CPU and an aftermaket cooler. Even something really cheap like a Raijintek Aidos or Coolermaster TX3 makes a whole world of difference.
>>145537950
>That's actually true for most games
Yeah, but having 4 powerful cores is worth it if you like to emulate PS2/Gamecube games.

This is true, tonnes of servers in hyperlobby used to have rules banning BnZ. How they enforced it I can't remember, it was probably just bans for whoever killed the admin.
>>145547151
The only populated servers that weren't the full realism PTO/BoB ones explicitly said in that boom and zoom is not allowed, IIRC along other stupid shit like "no loitering". Basically what >>145547329 said, except that sometimes they banned you even for other thingssuch as meming on them with the CR42, because getting in a turn fight against a biplane is definitely a brilliant idea :^)

When it comes to headtracking for third worlders:
Shit tier:
smartphone tracking (lol3DOF, might be decent for memegames like El*te or Arm*, but definitely doesn't work if you actually need SA)
facetracking (implying it ever works, implying facetracknoir isn't total shit)
God tier:
Aruco paper marker tracker (accurate as fuck, the only con is that you need a hat and a rigid piece of plastic/cardboard and a hat)
>>145546815
>started to ban people that use BnZ and energy fighting
But what if the plane is literally built for BnZ? They blacklist the plane or expect you to turnfight Spitfires in a 190?

This implies you have a webcam. If you have one, might as well make an IRclip.
>>145550659
>If you have one, might as well make an IRclip.
Sure, if you're gud at DIY. If you're a third worlder AND dumb and can't afford even the shittiest emitter that is sold on ebay the Aruco marker is hands down your best option.
>>145550246
>expect you to turnfight Spitfires in a 190?
Yes. And as I already said, some admins banned you even if you outmeme'd then due to their idiocy.
>>145550841
>being unable to afford some LEDs
that would be africa tier poor
>>145551130
I mean, you can energy fight without boom and zooming, strictly, but it's the easiest and least risky method
Fucking turnfighters, man. Angle fighting is the easiest shit, you don't need to know anything about flying or your airplane to make it work well (Obviously knowing how to yo-yo and your optimal speed for sustained/instantaneous turn rates is good, but you don't NEED that)- you just fucking bank and yank. Meanwhile, energy fighting requires a sound understanding of fighter tactics, the capabilities of your airplane versus the enemy's airplane at different altitudes and starting conditions, and good gunnery to put shots where they'll do something in the split-second opportunities you usually get.

until we get CCIP autorelease, bombing in the mirage is painful as fuck. It's significantly more accurate to just eyeball it and divebomb than to use the CCIP release cue.
>>145594465
If you mean entry entry, then DFGT, but they don't make those anymore. If you mean mid-range then G27, but they don't make those anymore.
The G29/G290 seem to be decent and more or less repackaged G27s but with the DFGT wheel button layout (which I personally prefer). However, the G29, at least last I checked, is a bit overpriced for what it is.
Honestly there isn't a good answer to that question anymore. I'd still say try and find a used G27 as an all encompassing starter wheel that has everything, but those things are getting expensive as fuck priced way beyond what they're worth.
As for G290 vs G29, get the G290 only if you plan on using this wheel with an Xbox One. Otherwise, get the G29 because it has a few more buttons. Both are compatible with PC.

I don't have that problem, the problem I have was that when I look slightly to he right (~5degrees) the tracker jumps all over the place. So I just turn my head lots to the right or I just don't.But then I am about to transfer to IR tracking as I had been experimenting with my webcam the last few days and just remove the IR filter in my PS3eye today.
Where did you mount the marker?

Use a different marker.

I think so yeah. Don't take what I said for granted though, I tried using that shit a long time ago, also you should use a different marker.

Lol what kind of shitty version of the PS3 eye you ended up with? Mine could see the LEDs even when they were fed by a single AAA battery. And I'm using a floppy.

>Mine could see the LEDs even when they were fed by a single AAA battery.
Probably because the LEDs used were different. A single one of my LED require 1.5v to light and I am using USB power, so even if I were to get rid of my resistors and over volt, it would't be very much. Plus over volting will shorten the life of the components. Fk too late now, should I even bother to pull the resistor out?

For example, in the manual the hud has a g meter in the bottom left hand corner, but in-game I don't see this shit.
I'm trying to learn how to properly navigate but what I see in-game is different from the manual.

I'm trying to learn to properly use the navigation mode in the F-15c, and I have the steering index in the middle of my screen, yet I'm moving away from my waypoint?
Isn't the bank steering index supposed to help guide me to my waypoint?
The manual says to roll the aircraft until it is in the middle of the screen.

Man, the war sure as hell accelerated plane development, but I sometimes wonder how some planes would've turned out if only they had more time and resources.
Or what designs we'd have without the war.
>>145645898
Without war, we would have jets and rockets much later if ever.
Wars focuses much resources to technologies that would other wise not be given as much resource. And it boosts the economy of the world.also decrease the earth's burden to sustain such an exorbitant number of humans by lowering the number

Holy shit you can actually get some insane accuracy out of the rockets on the huey if you set the sight up right
The table on the sight itself is kinda bullshit IMO, you basically have to have the sight elevated to 25-ish mils to get any kind of accuracy. 0 mils is probably like the thousand-meter zero.

>>145746219

I mean you can with mods but I'd hardly class mods as features of the base game
>>145746219
While that'd be nice why use the F-18 and not the F-15E, or something like the MiG-31?
>>145746863
You can't use HARMS on the A-10C in DCS, even with mods. The systems are just too complex to mod something like that in unfortunately.
>>145747461
The F-18 is a testbed at the moment as its one of the better done mods, alongside the A-7E.
Once I have this one working everything else should be much easier. The F-15E will be a copy paste, and the MiG-31 should be fairly simple, just increase thrust and reduce manoeuvrability. I'm not going for exact real world performance, just close enough and what feels good.
I have a long list of flyables I'm compiling together and modifying, so it may take a few days, depending on my motivation.

>>145751301
but why
>>145751301
/kspg/ was nuked because it turned into a general with the sole purpose of raiding the devs which is against the rules, not because the community was toxic. /gsg/ is full of shitposts because it's probably the oldest general on /gsg/ and thus has lots of history and personality drama. The mods won't nuke it because of that.
>>145751531
*oldest general on /vg/
>>145751531
so when /gsg/ raids johan's wikipedia page that's not grounds for their deletion?
>>145751681
/gsg/ still talks about the games they play though. /kspg/ was nuked because the whole general was mobilized against the devs instead of talking about the game.
Plus the mods would never delete such an established community like /gsg/.
>>145751765
>Plus the mods would never delete such an established community like /gsg/.

Shitposting with Kaiser Wilhelm's masturbation instructions is talking about their shitty games?
>>145752048
Not only are they still talking about their games but they aren't breaking any rules like /kspg/ did.
>>145752140
Flooding the thread with "pls buy stellaris" is talking about the games? Okay.
>>145752329
It's not against the rules to shitpost the majority of the time and talk about your game a little bit. The reason /kspg/ got banned was because they stopped doing this and the whole general became an invasion/raid thread which is against the rules.

I've asked on /lit/ in their audiobook thread but my request is so specific I think I'd have have more luck asking here.
Are there any recommended audiobook memoirs of pilots (and modern infantry/cavalry, although pilots are preferred?)
Just finished Civilian Warriors (Blackwater CEO's memoirs) and Viper Pilot (F16 SEAD in the first and second gulf wars).
Something about A-10s or similar ground attack/interdiction/SEAD, rather than just fighters, would be preferable.
>>145754663
Nah.
Also give them some credit for the He 178.

Did the same with Su24s parked next to him in one of the last livestreams (don't remember if it was the VR one or the F5 navsystem steam)
Also take a look at their facebook
These people are impressively dumb.
>>145759624
Oh I guess that makes sense, but I missed that part of the F-5 stream, I only got to see the parked Fulcrums.
Still, it strikes me as weird that they'd do the Su-24 instead of the Phantom - and I'm definitely complaining.
>>145759682
I think they're just trying to be funny.
>>145759260
Is the Su-24 able enough to avoid the problems people stated about the B-1B (namely that the map isn't big enough for proper ops)?
>>145759682
It's clearly an F-4.
>>145759856
The Phantom is so iconic I'm honestly baffled why one of them isn't in the works yet. I'm almost certain it would sell well.
>>145759856
>Still, it strikes me as weird that they'd do the Su-24 instead of the Phantom
I've always thought that the Su-24 would be ED's first multi seat module. It was updated with one of the nicest 3D models in the game out of the blue a few years ago and ED have been updating the 3D models of all the Russian A2G missiles.
>>145760020
>almost certain
Nigger it'd be one of those modules that literally print money. Like the Hind.
>>145760049
What would you even need a 1500kg precision guided bomb for? Sinking carriers?
So I come from BMS, just bought the A-10 today.
Is it normal for it handle like such a piece of shit?
Can't even fly level without constant trimming.
>>145759682
I don't get it
Is there a joke somewhere I'm missing
>>145760265
You should try flying the Hurricane in IL-2 CloD+TF or any russian plane in IL-2BoS/BoM.
>>145760343
"lel is dat a famas xd"
>>145760181
Yes
>>145760265
It's not a fly-by-wire aircraft, in-fact IIRC it's stability augmentation is ancient. However it's a pretty stable aircraft.
>>145760265
Compared to the F16, yeah. The A10 is actually one of the most stable planes in DCS, try a WW2 plane
>>145760446
Isn't the F-15 not fly by wire either?
>>145760265
you really gotta try the SU27 if you think the A10 is bad
>>145760589
It's not, it's just a plane literally designed by godAlso it has auto-trim, but it's still not fbw
>>145760589
yeah it just has CAS, similar to the F-14
>>145760589
Hydraulically actuated with autotrim. Not FBW but I don't think it'd be that complicated to convert it to it, same with the 27 and the 29 I think.
>>145759895
>It's clearly an F-4.
There's a red star on the wing
It's a Su24
>>145760425
I always hated the "aileron/elevator/rudder trim control not available on this craft". It didn't make sense to me when people have trim doodads on their joysticks or can even have a 3rd party program do it
>>145760956
Some planes don't have aileron/rudder trim by design, kraut shit is an example of that.
>>145760956
Some planes physically have no trim tabs though.
>>145761176
Most planes in fact didnt have aileron trim but did have rudder trim to counteract prop torque.
>>145761339
sucks that my joystick does doesnt it huh
>>145761176
Having these controls would remove part of the challenge of being a pilot for the glorious Luftwaffe. Naturally honorless pigs don't understand this.
>>145761404
The 109 and 190 were specifically designed so that they wouldn't need trimming, except for elevators. Some pilots use the elevator trim as a makeshift all moving tail, some of them fucked up while doing it and died as a result.
>>145760849
>There's a red star on the wing
Really? I thought it was the completely different airframe that should tip me off, not a fucking red star.
>>145761397

What are you talking about.
http://support.logitech.com/en_us/product/flight-system-g940
Essentials: headtracking, decent stick
For WW1fags: good pedals, that's it.
For WW2fags: Saitek/CH quadrant for engine management shenanigans, pedals for more accurate gunnery and less embarrassing takeoffs.
For 4th gen niggers: separate throttle for dem hat switches and buttons.
Is that correct?

I'm talking about the concept of having trimmers in the joystick itself.

I'm curious why older fighters have so many less AAM pylons than older ones (early F-5s and MiG-21s only having two, for example).
Was it because of weight, cost, did they just really think they didn't need more?
>>145766404
Missiles were unreliable, guns much more dependable. The more external stores you slap on the outside of your plane, the more you degrade your performance and considering the missiles are all rear aspect only, you actually need turning performance.
Just look at the DCS:MiG-21, you can load up with the maximum 6 missiles but you'll never get on anyone's tail unless you ambush them as you end up flying like a brick compared to a clean 21.

Far more interested in getting a Sea Harrier FRS1.
Since it's Friday, I'll try and organise some ops in a few hours at 22:00 UTC, details below:

http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/vacation?iso=20160617T22&p0=%3A&msg=%2Fsimg%2F+flies+friday+OPS&font=sanserif&csz=1
Report in TS just before the time listed above, Brits should beware that UTC =/= British Summer Time.
ts.artificialanimation.com:7997
The size of the mission will scale with how many people we get;
If we just get a few (~4) then we'll fly *one* of the stories in the briefing to the left,
If we get more (~8) we'll fly them both simultaneously,
If we get even more still (~10) then some people can fly as a MiG-21 OPFOR flight.
The selection of planes available is generous, we even have Su-25T slots for SEAD/attack.
>>145782186
Can you fags push it back an hour so the NASCAR king can join? I don't get off work unitll 3:30 gods time.

maybe I'll just do this.
BARCAP: "Barrier Combat Air Patrol", in fleet terms, a mission flown between a carrier battle group and the direction from which it is most likely that an enemy attack will come. Also refers to fighter aircraft placed between a friendly strike force and an area of expected airborne threat, also known as a "MiG screen".

>Can I complete them in time?
If you start right now then you can easily get through the instructions for bombing by the time the ops start.
>>145791795

>>145801168
couldn't that just be ED pulling a (literal) asspull tho
Some DCS questions:
1. Can I be militarily useful in the free SU25T?
2. With ~300 ping, would I be too laggy for multiplayer?
3. Would people be upset by a useless SU25T providing target practice to the other team in multiplayer because the pilot hasn't mastered weapons systems yet, or would I just be ignorable? [i.e. is there any disadvantage to others caused by my presence.]
Thinking about committing to DCS for a while. If it's fun then I can buy an F-5 or something.
>>145804364
The Su-25T is a fairly competent ground attacker and the only player-flyable aircraft capable of SEAD (aside from suicidal wild weasel type shit).
You'll be useless in MP, though. What sort of hardware are you running?
Quick question about pirating sims 3.
http://pastebin.com/WUrPaKbF says to not use the cracks that come with the games4theworld pack. It says to use the NOCD mod. How, where, and when do I install this mod?
Do I just fo ahead and install the other EP and SP too?
>>145804643
Useless in a way that's detrimental to others, or just useless in a way that wastes my own time? I'm not concerned with wasting my own time [that always happens], but I'd hate to make a burden of myself by displacing a useful aircraft or something.
I fall below the minimum hardware requirements [i3 @ 2.1ghz, 6GB RAM, GT540M], but it was playable when I briefly tried it a while ago [I don't even think I was on minimum settings]. I'm currently downloading the update. If the update's put up system requirements [I don't remember them being that high] I may have to defer.

I tried it but I only have an IPhone and the Only way to do it on an IPhone is to use the mobile mouse app and shit. It's super jittery and just not really good.

Use the fucking filter, it's there for a reason. 35ms smoothing, 0.36° sensitivity.

VERY FAST SU-24 FLYING AT INCREDIBLE HIHG SPEED
Fuck you all this is a Su-24 thread now.

>>145825019
Yes.

>>145825832
forgot the image I worked so hard on
>>145825049
It doesn't really feel like its helping. I even turned all the settings all the way up so It wouldn't detect the tiny tiny movements that make it jittery but that hasn't stopped it.
>>145826406
Also what do I select as the "tracker". I can see that "protocol" has the option of mouse simulation but I don't see anything relevant in the tracker section.
>>145826406
Can't you just emulate android via iOS? I'm pretty sure iPhones can do that.
>>145827067
I like to use my phone for other things you know....
>>145827394
Okay. Maybe you can emulate andriod. I don't see how that would fix my problems though.
>>145827863
Because there is an android app that just sends your device's gyro orientation and it works well but, in case it doesn't work:
Are you good at DIY? Buy a PS3eye, tape a piece of exposed film/floppy disk in front of the lens and make yourself a hat based IR emitter.
Are you bad at DIY? Can you afford to spend 40/50 bucks? Buy a Delaclip/Trackhat kit.
You can't afford to spend 50 bucks? Do you have a webcam and a printer? Print two/three different aruco markers and attach them to a hat.
If you can't do anything of what I listed get a fucking job.
>>145828194
Haha. I could afford trackIR its just that I'm a jew and I hate spending money. SO the android app. How exactly would I get this app onto in IOS andriod emulator?
>>145828464
>I could afford trackIR
You dumb kike, just get the Delanclip + PS3Eye and call it a day, save yourself the headache. As for your question, Google it.
>>145828590
I checked out this Delanclip thing. It looks like a decent solution. The only thing I'm worried about is mounting it on my headphones. The "gamer" package comes with the modified ps3 eye, the clip obviously, and some zip ties for putting it on your headphones. I don't see exactly how im gonna get it on my headphones. Anothe rissue is that I live in Canada so its not like 40/50 bucks. Its 90 bucks :P

bruh, I'm from Canada too, I got the DelanClip a while ago and they come with zap straps, which fit onto my headset alright, if a little awkwardly.

Wouldn't the magnets interfere with the speakers in the headset?
Plus, pieces of metal is heavier than pieces of plastic
>>145830916
Oops yeah, Hong Kong.
<---- This is the one I bought. Came with the point model, a PS3 Eye /w IR filter removed and a visible light filter installed, a mount for the PS3 eye, and a lense cap.
It's probably the most convenient way, his point model is way better than the piece of shit I made out of hollowed out bic pens and hot glue, and the camera mount is skookum.

>Wouldn't the magnets interfere with the speakers in the headset?
I don't think so, you don't need huge magnets or anything.
>>145832276
How's the tracker itself, build quality wise? Is it easy to replace the leds/resistor? Does it have a PTC fuse? If it's good on those accounts we probably should put it the link to it in the pastebin.
>>145832540
>Back to /a/
KEEP ANIME OFF /simg/ !
>>145832559
The point model is made up of 2 3d printed parts glued together, it's really sturdy but isn't easily serviceable if an LED burns out; not sure it has a fuse or not.
>>145832801
nice quote, faggot
>>145832884
I was afraid it'd be built like that, thanks for confirming my suspect. I'd still put it in the pastebin nevertheless, as it costs half of a Delanclip and shipping is free.
>>145833306
Bang for buck it's probably the best solution, especially since he sourced a replacement lens so the camera actually focuses properly without the IR filter.
>>145832801
>>145833836
Hmm. Ever tried reading a book?

>>145833546
Who in their right mind buys the cameras from those people anyway? It's not like you *need* to remove the IR filter, and they sell them for absurd prices, while you can find them for 10 bucks or so if you know where to look.
>>145822912
Even if not, we are going to get a gud mod for SF2 soon(ish).

Press Q to pay respect.
>>145835069
Why not? From this particular seller it's only $10 more than his LED point model, and it comes with a proper monitor clip.
And sure, you can use thse camera unmodified, but removing the IR filter and adding a visible light filter makes a pretty big difference, especially if your gaming room is well lit. In this picture there are multiple light sources behind me emitting visible spectrum light.
>>145837897
Mine can perfectly see the IR leds and the only modification I did to it was taping a piece of floppy in front of the lens (the only mod it really needs, otherwise the point tracker starts picking up random shit).
>>145838128
I read there are 2 different models of this camera, maybe that's why the first one I did was so shitty unmodified; I've heard other people say they work fine with just a visible light blocker.
Anyhow, that HK seller sells the kit without the camera or camera-mount for $10 less.
Is it normal for CloD to take two and a half years to launch?
>>145838503
For me at least it takes around the same time as DCS.

>>145838291
2nd gen one (that can't be modified easily) works fine with an IR pass filter in front of it.
>>145837897
>>145838128
I removed my IR filter and it isn't tracking random crap, in fact it is completely clean. But then I am using the older (?) model of PS3eye which has curved lens and is easily modifiable.
>those default keybinds in CloD
No wonder people hated it. At least Chuck made a good guide for it.

Hind has already been confirmed to be in development by BST many times. They put the project on hold a few years ago I believe, waiting for multi crew functionality to mature.
Rumour is the project will be started again once the F-5 is out.

fug. Any landing you can walk away from though, r-right?
Seriously though how do you reliably land in a confined space? Preferably without slowing way the fuck down beforehand- I'm trying to git gud for combat ops.
>>145848554
Practice
Try rotating sideways a bit for the flare, lets the length of the bird slow you down
>>145848554
>Seriously though how do you reliably land in a confined space?
Planning & skill, once you git gud at landings you'll be able to land almost anywhere as you'll get a feel for how far away you need to be to start your approach without going into VRS.
>>145848824
I've owned the huey for a long ass time and I can make like... normal field landings fine, even land in those revetments they use for loading bombs onto aircraft (I think that's what those are, at least) on most military airfields, but landing with obstructions in my path that require a steep descent still fucks me over. I always end up overtorqueing the helo (which doesn't really do much in DCS, but I still avoid it because muh RPing engine life), or overrunning the landing zone.
