People really want more attack helicopters, and I get it, I want the Hind and Apache and shit too, but...

Will any of them be better than the Ka-50? It's gods helicopter, and the perfect one for a sim.

Game design 101: You can make an AI so powerful that you can never beat it, even if it has to adhere to every other rule that players also have to obey.

AI's lack the dynamic thinking and adaptability of humans.

Flight sim AI seriously lacks when in a BFM. If you have lower energy and engage a scissors on an AI diving to attack you he will pull into the scissors like a dumbfuck. Even if it was perfected to calculate and execute the points to roll over in the scissor it would not win the battle since it decided to engage in scissors with higher energy.

Thats just because starcraft is all about actions per minute and building things faster.

Alright boys. Heli-ops V1.0 will be ready for testing tomorrow on Stable branch. I don't know when the op will happen, but probably around 6 or 7 EST. I don't know for sure yet. I'll let whoever will host it decide.

>AI's lack the dynamic thinking and adaptability of humans.
Yea that's what people thought, but Chess used to be thought of as a uniquely creative human ability, until someone made an AI that defeated every human player on the planet (in reality it only defeated the top 100 or so, but that's besides the point).

If you put the effort into it, an AI will win, period.

>Flight sim AI seriously lacks when in a BFM
By design and/or by incompetence. Not because an AI is inherently inferior to humans. It's not.

>>
>>146867949
Chess is pretty linear since you can break it down into moves and long term game plans. Not very dynamic.

There is also teamwork. I want to see an AI that can do this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ef27GjIOtT0
>>
>>146868092
Consider a game like tic tac toe or connect 4. You can very easily write an AI for those games which will either play to a draw or win. It's mathematically impossible for it to lose.

This is because those games are solved, that is, we can perfectly predict the winner based on any initial or noninitial condition, assuming both players play perfectly.

And since the AI _always_ plays perfectly, the outcome is obvious.

Now obviously neither Chess nor DCS is solved and likely never will be (there is a great deal of research on this topic actually), but as with the example of Chess, people already built a machine that can beat any chess player 100% of the time.

It is very likely that ED could technically turn on the super AI that you can never beat, but they don't want to, because that wouldn't be very fun. It is much easier to make a "perfect" AI than to make a "human-like" AI from a programming perspective, so very likely ED worked backwards from the turbo AI and tuned it down until it felt somewhat realistic.
>>
>>146868929
But DCS AI cheats like a motherfucker just to keep it even against players. With ignoring ECM and having awareness of all contacts around them even if they couldnt see them via RWR/Radar.

I really doubt they had turbo AI lol.
>>
>>146867683

>Flight sim AI

Which one are you talking about, 20 year old F-16 sim or DCS's laughable AI?

If you designed an AI that literally always made the correct adjustments the instant it's supposed to, it would be unbeatable. The article says he got blown the fuck out in BVR and BFM.

This AI is not made for fun, an even fight, or even a challenging one. It was designed to win every time, which it does. Please don't compare it to flight sim AI lmfao

Nigga I know you want to get kekked by a robot but lets be real here. This AI was programmed to work inside the controlled environment of the simulator they fought inside. The playing field in reality will never be as smooth as that.
>>
>>146869775
Note that I said "FELT realistic" and not "is realistic".

Game development is really just a string of bullshit and tricks that make the end product FEEL good, instead of actually being true to the real life.
>>
>>146870000
>>146869684
It doesn't feel very realistic when you get AI that doesn't adhere to the 'rules'. Such as always seeing the enemy even if it is literally impossible.

It just really kills the vibe when you literally cannot sneak up on an AI plane like you can with players or when the AI plane can launch missiles from farther out just to make it fair for the AI.

>>146872147
Chess is a set of fucking rules for every move there's a perfect counter move, of course a thing that can have an entire database of rules to access in a split second will be good at it.

What kind of technical restrictions are in the way of us making our own dynamic campaign in the editor? Is there anything making it literally impossible or is it just the effort required?
>>
>>146873098
Eh, it could be programmed to react when shot at; try to regain visual when the player gets in a blind spot (having a "memory" of the player), maneuver to check blindspots when in transit (depending on behaviour profiles), have awareness of the player if it has friendly AI spotting the player (unless there's no radio on the plane), shit like that.
>>
>>146875901
What do you mean by dynamic campaign?
If you mean missions that influence the next mission then yes, it's 100% possible and quite easy.

If you mean BMS style generated sorties with an AI ground war going on then no we can't. The UI or AI commander functions just arent there.
>>
>>146875901

The closest we have is Guardians of the Caucasus's.

It's a MiG-21 mission in which every time you're done, you use the F10 "Other" menu to end the mission. This updates a file that tracks all aircraft loses on both sides, and generates a new mission.

The next time you play the mission, it will be day 2, with appropriate breifing, damage status, etc. It's real fucking neato.

The better you do, the quicker F-16s and F-15s show up. If your SAM's die to SEAD, they won't be there next mission.

My biggest complaint is lack of mission variety. It's a defensive campaign, but I would love to see missions that have us strike back, escort our own bombers, or attacking columns. Right now it's only intercepts.

In theory you could make semi dynamic campaigns with his system (which I think hes still working on). It would be awesome if he was able to release a tutorial or code that lets people build their own.

Il-2 1946 has it.

Cliffs of Dover and Battle of Stalingrad seem to have it too, in that if you stay behind and below you can get pretty close to planes without rear gunners before they react.

It's interesting how paint can fool the eye

Because of the scheme, and the black paint above the engines, on some level I find it almost hard to identify as an F-18. Not consciously thinking, of course, but it's the kind of thing that could make you pause to think for a crucial half-second.

Majority of that is irrelevant because it is not a gunship. It won't be flying into the shit.

Its made to show up, destroy shit from a distance and go home, and it does that perfectly. The Vikhrs get the job done, i'm not sure why you say they are weaker.

RWR and low light things I'll give you though. Can't believe it doesn't have an RWR. Low light you can deal with if you fuck with the Skval and use NVG's.

Its supposed to be paired with something like the Mi-28 that is way more armored and would be invovled in more up close and personal ops

As a Russian and a huge fan of Russian aviation, I was at Oshkosh the year these guys showed up with this paint scheme.

I got a quick look at them from a good couple miles away (I was at the camp site, not the airport)
I almost shit my fucking pants because I thought some fucking how, Su-27's were here.

I got on my bike and went mach 2.5 towards the airport, only to find it was an F-18 painted exactly the ones in that picture.

If someone who actually knows what a Flanker should look like was fooled, then they did their job.

>>146898569

It not being a gunship makes it a fairly boring aircraft to fly most of the time if the mission design is at all "realistic"- an aircraft like the Ka-50 would not be operating anywhere where there is a credible AA threat, so basically you'd just zip in, pop up, snipe some fucks with vikhrs and cannons, then leave without ever having closed within more than 1.5km or so from the enemy. It's not a gunship, yeah- so it won't be tangling with anything heavier than a BMP, in reality (IIRC they're basically used as COIN helicopters by the ruskies)

Pop a vikhr into a modern MBT. You'll likely need more than one to secure the kill.

Also IRL, of course, the Ka-50 DOES have RWR, and there were versions made with FLIR/LLTV gear for night fighting.

I was just listing off pointers on why an Apache/Cobra/Hind would be desirable even though we already have the Ka-50, though.

Ka-50 is technically a heavily armed scout helicopter. You might not think its employment tactics are fun, but I like basically being a floating Vikhr station that can hide and shit.

I would love any of those choppers, of course. My only thing is I'm not sure how fun they'd be in single player. Those REQUIRE two people, and I feel like switching between seats really quick would just be kind of dumb.

>>146899508

Eh, I figure adapting the UH-1 copilot code would work well enough for a gunship, at least for the gunner. All the gunner has to do is aim and fire the weapons, which is more complicated on something like a Hind, but still within the realms of doability, I think.

Couple that with a better RoE interface than the Huey has right now, and the ability to look at a target and mark it as priority (as well as intelligent target classification, i.e. kill AAA/SAMs first) and I think you have a perfectly serviceable singleplayer gunship.

It's a russian helicopter made for western-esque pop-up attack tactics. And it's awesome. The gun can out-range IGLAs and it can handle almost any SHORAD (up to and including SA-8's and Tunguskas, even fight against the SA-15) far better than most helos, assuming you can spot it before entering its kill-range.

It's a very fun helo to fly if you like being tactical as fuck.

>>
>>146876437
>no we can't
Yes we could. You'd need to write an external program for generating the missions and shit. You could either make something halfassed that only considers the damage to infrastructures and calculates the victory conditions by the victory points you control, or you could write something really fucking complex - think of things like Victoria 2's economy (but that actually fucking works) and the plebs' satisfaction influencing the victory conditions on top of occupied territory, the plebs' attitude influencing the domestic production and infrastructure efficiency, etc.

Would it be worth the effort? If you have a whole fucking lot of patience, the necessary skills and you want to monetize it and/or put it in your CV.

>All the gunner has to do is aim and fire the weapons
A gunner would also need to prioritize targets (because you know damn well that you'd rather have him shoot peasants with weapons that can't damage you last and target AA trucks and cunts with MANPADS first, instead of engaging the thing that is closest to where his gun is pointed) and call out threats. Which shouldn't be that hard to do, really.
>>
>>146902030

I addressed the prioritization thing in that post.

The target callout thing, yeah, but I'm trying to think of a way to do that that isn't just the *rma way of ENEMY- MAN- TO OUR- FRONT- TWO CLICKS.

Why would you need to do that? It perfectly does its job, as it states the threat, the bearing and the distance. Maybe add some phrases such as "close to the red brickhouse", "near the smokestack" or something like that. That wouldn't be much complex or a first for videogames either.

My biggest concern at the moment is that there is a need to have a GUI for telling the gunner the ROE that allows you to give decent ROE customization and at the same time it isn't a fucking convoluted mess to use. Maybe with a few presets, including saveable custom ones.
>>
>>146896884
>Non turreted gun
I don't think the KA-50 is build with hovering around something in mind. It's more of a 'pick shit off from a distance' kind of chopper, and it works wonders at that.
>Limited traverse TV camera

>Vikhrs are fairly low-strength
Bullshit, I can 1-2 shoot pretty much every armored vehicle
>no FLIR/low-light capable sensors

lolno, it can take a fuckton of a beating and still fly home. The sensors are the more delicate part of it but it doesn't matter much as any aircraft sustaining damage directly on their sensors would have those go off, too
>version we have has no RWR
is there a version with RWR? That's neat.
>>
>>146902805

Because that *rma callout thing gets really, REALLY grating when you have a lot of callouts happening in a short time (i.e. as would happen when engaging a tank collumn or some such)

and DCS doesn't do voice acting fantastic anyway

I play the A-10C a lot and I am looking into getting the Thrustmaster Warthog along with some pedals.

I currently have a Thrustmaster T Flight Hotas. Way less buttons, but it does have the additional lever on the throttle which I use for zooming in and out, and I use the trim hat to look around.

With the Warthog, assuming I look around with the trim hat, what is the best option for zooming in and out?

Also, are they any better alternatives? I was also considering the CH Fighterstick. I mainly play the A-10C and I am waiting to play the F-18.

The problem with 1946 is that modding it or even updating it is a clusterfuck.

I gave up on my disk version because you couldn't just go "download update", you had to download a pile of them manually and then slowly increment things up yourself.

Then I got it on steam during a sale, the end of my troubles? No. Turns out everyone's still using a further community update that steam doesn't do for you, which I think I read you have to do similarly incrementally instead of just having one simple centralized download you can bash in quickly.

It's almost certainly my memory which is lacking. I gave up a good while ago.

I just dont find myself looking around that much in the A-10C to warrant buying a TrackIR right now. Definately with the F-18 when it comes out.

I might buy one right away, but from what I understand so far is that moving your head forward and back only zooms you in and out inside the cockpit, and you still need a button to zoom in and out normally. What button can you use on the warthog or compareable sticks?

It adds the planes listed there but some of them are added by HSFX already. I deleted them because I couldnt be arsed to check wich ones were repeated or if they worked.

>How to "merge"
Download the mod and the patches, copy ONLY the contents of #SAS into the MODS folder of IL-2 1946 (whatever\Ubisoft\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\MODS)
Delete the folder !!00_0_FXEvolution_v4.12 Independent static smoke and fire
Delete the folder STD

Copy the contents of SFS_AUTO, paste them into Ubisoft\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\SFS_AUTO, do NOT replace anything

As stated previously, I've deleted all the planes that come with the mod (00_** files) If you have issues, particularly during the plane selection, delete them.

Note: I have up to the patch 2, my joystick died so I havent played or updated since then. If anything gets borked, its up to you to find the issue.

>>146958396
It can move quite a bit yeah.
>>
>>146958396
It can, but only a tiny bit left - most of the traverse range is to the right. The idea was you could yaw fast enough that you wouldn't need to make major horizontal adjustments with the gun.
>>
Is the Mirage going to get chaff dispenser programs eventually? Just a minor gripe but I'd like if I didn't have to continually press the button.

That's like 70% of new flight simmers. Most of them played the PS2 ace combat as kids and are now old enough to actually like flight sims. I don't understand why you're being hostile to new players for no reaso- actually, I do. It's because you're a smug, autistic manchild with nothing better going on in his life than to be an unhelpful smug cunt for no reason. Where were you when this guy was considering buying trackir to tell him instead to DIY it? Because I assure you he came here to post about it before buying.

People like you are the reason sims are dead and the reason I stopped coming around here in the first place. Everyone is so fucking dead set on jerking off about how fucking hardcore they are and how they're so cool for flying a plane in a simulator that they forget that the most fun part of gaming is sharing your love of planes or tanks or whatever the fuck it may be with other people.

No, there fucking isn't. The human body isn't designed to be pressurized like that for as long as you are on a sub, and it's especially not designed for the frequent changes in pressure.

I knew a guy- he didn't work on subs, but he did work in a pressure chamber on an oil rig (so that they could do deep dives more easily), which I figure is pretty similar- and apparently once a guy sat on the toilet in there, took a shit, went to flush, and something in the plumbing was fucked so the line opened straight to the (significantly lower pressure) waste tank on the rig and sucked the guy's asshole right out.

>>
>>147002275
No, the 2 part version leaves a few minutes from Mickey's Vietnam flashback. As far as I know it wasn't for censoring purposes either, but just for making so that it could fit in VHSes. The 3 part OVA has that footage but it's extremely hard to find on the net, if it still exists at all. Also sub only.

>>147002972
Good. Don't read the manga though. It's worse (the mood goes from silly to grim unlike the OVA which is almost always grim and the TV series that is mostly "same shit day after day") and not even fully translated.

speaking of kneeboards

why didn't those catch on outside of aviation? They're super fucking useful. Having directions or a map printed out and on your knee while you're driving so you can just take a quick glance down is super helpful.
>>
>>147005427
Maybe because in cars you don't make long distance trips requiring a map very frequently, and roads have signage letting you know where you are? Also in a car you can stop to reference a map whereas in an aircraft you can't, and car maps need a lot more detail than one for use in planes, requiring it to be bigger and/or harder to read at a glance.
>>
>>147005427
On top of what >>147005905 said on cars you can just pull out the map and put it over your knees. Also they'd look ridiculous, also only truckers would make use of them and they could end up with smearing them with oil and shit.

If you can find a decent VCR and you have a good capture card AND you're willing to sink a few hours doing that then why not, maybe you could put it on bakabt and specify that your version has footage that isn't present in the actual release. Why bakabt? Because DDLs would get DMCA'd and on nyaa and other trackers it'd die quickly. What would be fucking noice is if you could OCR the subs for the eventual bluray release.

R-3R on inner for the all aspect radar memeing.

R-13M1's on outer pylons for that good rear aspect IR killan.

R-60M is a meme missile that doesnt have all aspect and has shit warhead.
>>
>>147009523
The main 3 are:

>R-60M
High-aspect & manoeuverable IR missile, small warhead.
>R-13M1
Rear aspect IR missile, longest kinematic range of any '21 missile.
>R-3R
Decent SARH missile, doesn't turn very well but does the job.

It's definitely a little rough around the edges, but the core game is really good.

If you are an offliner, avoid it like the plague. If you like online, there are a pretty good variety of servers that are populated during Euro and US prime time. Just finished a few sorties in a 75-player game this evening.

It's not beginner-friendly but the community is pretty friendly and there's a good newbie guide floating around the forums.

I'm pretty sure that the Bis never was deployed in Vietnam.

I'm saying that the 21's layout designer is far from being the only or worst offender. The only thing you really need from the left side is the engine start anyway (lol fire extinguisher), the overwhelming majority of your shit is on the right side.

>Please teach me your ways.
Practice, practice, practice.
Also know what you need and what you don't need for takeoff.
If you're in a hurry then you don't have to wait for the radar to warm up, you don't need to power up your weapons, cock the gun or fiddle with the flight recorder.

The F-117 was my planfu in the 90s, when I was a kid and didn't realize how limited it's combat capabilites were (i.e. dump two smart-bombs and go home). I still like it though, but right now, I would rather have a full-blown cold-war strike plane as a module, like the F-111, Su-24 or even the friggin' Tornado or A-6. The closest to that is probably going to be LN's F-14B with the supposed late 90s-era a2g tinkerings... so 2018 that is.

Alright /simg/ I have some dumb Mirage questions like usual, I kinda refuse to use the forums when I can get the answer here

-Do I have to use the IFF interrogator every time to determine if a aircraft is friendly?
-When you see a diamond with a M that's a missile launch right?
-How do I stop the radar from loosing lock even when I'm in a open field? This is even while using STT
-How do I defend against slavmissiles with only 16 flares?

I'm learning I swear

>>147033804
bind the iff interogator to your joystick somewhere.

idfk, the rwr feels useless and incomplete

It feels like the radar loses lock when you lock onto something sometimes, feels bugged like it tries to lock on wrong.

you can load up to 48 flares, turn on the cm box even if it doesnt fully function it will still count your stuff.

im not an expert at all and i havent even read much of the guides out and just learned it from asking my friend while we were flying on 104th lol

How do I smooth out my landings?

The best I can reliably do is just below 500 feet per minute [sometimes better if I've runway to spare and drag things out, sometimes worse if I really mess things up.] which if I remember right is still atrocious.

It feels like all of my controls are either too sensitive or too slow. I'm going to try abusing elevator trim and see how much that helps, but other than that what can I do to git gud?

What plon?
>>
>>147045374
It's a generalized problem of mine. Everything from DCS's SU-25T to FSX's 737 to, in some cases, IL-2's... IL-2. [IL-2 is perhaps the most manageable, although this is balanced by aircraft generally being taildraggers with the accompanying risk of braking too hard and breaking the nose.]
>>
>>147045480
Trying to land any non full-fledged module in DCS is piss easy. Landings in general take practice however, get yourself a nice distance between yourself and the runway and go on a "long approach", so you have enough time to set up, correct any mistakes and land without screwing your plane up.

With WW2 planes, it's always important to get that tri-point landing down to a T. I know the runways in IL-2 are sometimes shitty and very short, but most of the time it should be manageable. Spot it visually and then just go in nice and slow. Practice is key here, before everything.
>>
>>147044996
>It feels like all of my controls are either too sensitive or too slow
You're either going too fast or too slow. Once you're slow you shouldnt try to correct any major mistake. Do as >>147045571 suggested and go for a long approach. Dont get desperate, use soft movements and be patient.
>>
>>147045480
set curves up it seems to me like your planes is tittering too much.

Also in more modern planes, just follow what the landing cues on the hud say and you'll land.
Generally in Russain craft you don't want to have a touch down at more than 2m/s decent rate, if you want a smooth landing, you can smash those things down at 5 or 7m/s without damage but it's best not to.
>>
>>147045980
You can follow landing cues down to the flare, but once you're at the instant before touchdown you should really just focus on getting the flare right and getting your descent rate as close to zero as possible.

Like, if you follow the Mirage's landing cues all the way to the ground, you'll collapse your gear legs. Every aircraft with landing aids we have in DCS that I'm aware of only gives you approach cues, not landing cues.

>>147046310
Yes an? In Russian jets you just pull slighlty back and you'll do a good enough landing with the approach cues.
Of course with western jets having faggy gear that breaks when there's a blade of grass on the runway it may not work, but do it a few times and you'll be good.

Unfortunately modding things like the A-10C or MiG-21 cockpits + avionics into other aircraft seems next to impossible without access to third party dev shit. They're just too complex to make work.

I was reading about the Me-262 replicas that were made about 10 years ago and it seems that one of those would cost rougly 2 millions USD excluding engines, avionics and some other things, would it be safe to assume that making a Me-262 replica that merely looks like would actually cost much less than that?
>>
>>147112564
well if you make it out of wood and just paint it then yea much less but if you want it full metal or even working replica then its going to cost you
>>
>>147112797
I should've clarified: the team that built them based them off a real 262 with the final result being very similar to the real thing save for a few things (from what I remember obviously the engines, strengthened gear, avionics), and I assume that's part of the reason why they cost that much. Wouldn't it cost much less to make a flying replica while completely disregarding the original manufacturing process, structural composition, etc?

>The concept of utilizing multiple helicopters joined together to lift a common payload was born to meet this need. The multi helicopter heavy lift system with its rigid interconnections has been designed into a series of configurations utilizing modified existing large helicopters. The helicopter modifications can be designed so as to allow the use of the helicopters in their original roles when the heavy lift is not required.
>The MHHLS (Multiple Helicopter Heavy Lift System) represents a large economic saving over a new heavy lift helicopter. All MHHLS configurations modify the controls to have one pilot operation. In some designs, the drive system is interconnected to allow power transfer from one helicopter to another, in the case of an engine stoppage.

Quality concept. The rigid frame should be completely unaffected by the vibrations and combined torque of what looks like four CH-53s with the tail rotor assemblies completely removed.

Piasecki has a rich history of successful projects and safe flights, I can't see how anything could go wrong.

BMS lets you actively pilot an E-3 and be of use to other players?

I know you can edit aircraft .cfgs to make AI models flyable, but aren't you stuck with an F-16 cockpit? And can you even pull that trick in multiplayer?

>he won't get tone

>>
>>147122692
Well you can't fly the E-3 at the same time, but you can direct players to contacts via the map whilst in menu.

You also don't even need to edit .cfgs to make aircraft flyable. If it exists and doesn't already have a pit it just puts you in the F-16 pit.
