Maybe we can postpone a bit. 2200 UTC seemed to work really well as an ops time previously so that's why I put it up like that.

Someone else says they'd prefer it brought forward.

Oh come the fuck on. If you ever played online or hell if you followed the Blue Flag drama or you lurked for a few threads you'd understand that a seizable amount of the DCS playerbase is borderline retarded. Other sims have retards too, but not nearly as much as DCS.

>motivated
I hope you aren't implying that learning sims is hard or requires lots of effort. If you know where to look for (protip: the OP) you can find documents that spoonfeed you practically everything you need to know.

>teaching themselves a reasonable degree offline.
If we're talking about DCS, the only thing you'll learn offline is how your plane maneuvers and how the systems work. The AI behaves pretty differently from humans.

WW2 sims are a slightly different story because if you don't learn how to manage energy the AI will humiliate you. I can't speak for WW1 sims as I'm not really interested in that.

My understanding is that while they do a lot of stupid things, they tend to fall into Reddit/Forum tier stupidity which is more like a lack of any "sense" compared to not being able to understand "smart things" overall.
[Think: the kind of person who can perform aerodynamic calculations, but makes the most ridiculous suggestions for "balance"]
>If you know where to look for (protip: the OP) you can find documents that spoonfeed you practically everything you need to know.
Just reading them takes motivation and long-term focus that I lack.

When things don't do what they should do, or when I can't find a given switch, it tends to cascade into a disaster. speaking from trying to fly complex add-on airliners in FSX, not DCS fighters.

Basically, I am very stupid, very lazy, and very lacking in motivation, while still wanting to be able to do things.
I haven't learned anything major new in years, so I'm stuck finding new ways to re-apply old knowledge. So I can do the basics of flying an aircraft, follow some checklists, etc, but in the end something always goes wrong and I can't recover without getting fed up and giving up.

Do the makers of Euro Truck Sim not fucking understand what this sign means? I bought this game yesterday and it's been tons of fun but I keep having to make panic last minute lane switches because this sign keeps showing up before it turns out only the left lane goes forward while the right lane is for TURNING ONLY.

Also the road signs and GPS never argue on the speed limit but that's a minor complaint. The lane thing is infuriating.

>>147138516
I'm curious why it makes "perfect sense" - wouldn't you want it to be higher up and easier to quickly glance at?

>>147141428
There's more important shit higher up, such as the MFDs.

It's not like the RWR beeps when you get tracked by new contacts. You don't need to constantly keep your eyes on it either.

>>147141589

>modern US combat aircraft
>ever really being at risk of being shot down

besides, real life modern RWR comes with a lot of audio cues, to the point that you can tell what's painting you by the sounds being fed to your headset.

>>147141698

I have not tried multiplayer yet nor have I installed any mods. I'm just amazed how in a game dedicated to simulating road travel the devs wouldn't get the traffic signs right. It's not a simple lapse in judgement contained to a single location either, I just drove from Oslo to Gothenburg then from somewhere in Germany to Vienna and the same thing kept happening.

>>147142090
That falls under the "being disrespectful towards a moderator" rule which entails permaban from the forums and revoking all of your modules' keys, they'll also send the ATF or your country's equivalent at your house.

Asking because my PC gets rekt in most multiplayer missions because of ram usage...

>>147142523
I don't even know what OPS is but there is no reason not to have 16gb of ram on a modern PC indended for gaming. The stuff is dirt cheap. Also why would anyone not have TS installed?

>>147141428
Because an up down glance will let you see the HUD the MFD and the RWR, as well as the RWR being right next to the fuel indicator, so with a quick glance you get an overview of the entire situation of your aircraft.

Also in my opinion it's easier to look up and down than side to side.

>Here, we show that during their half-century history, helicopters have been evolving into geometrically similar architectures with surprisingly sharp correlations between dimensions, performance, and body size. For example, proportionalities emerge between body size, engine size, and the fuel load. Furthermore, the engine efficiency increases with the engine size, and the propeller radius is roughly the same as the length scale of the whole body. These trends are in accord with the constructal law, which accounts for the engine efficiency trend and the proportionality between “motor” size and body size in animals and vehicles. These body-size effects are qualitatively the same as those uncovered earlier for the evolution of aircraft.

OPS HAVE BEEN POSTPONED TO 23:00 UTC TODAY

SHOW UP IN THE TS AT 22:30 UTC TO BEGIN COORDINATION


Ops Info Part 1:

>Mission we're flying
/simg/ Operation Cutthroat 1_3

>Available aircraft:
SU-25, SU-25T, KA-50, Mi-8MTV2, SU-27, MiG-29A, MiG-29S

>Roles Available:
CAS, Troop Transport, TARCAP, SEAD

Player Controlled ground units are expected in the ops

>Situation:
After a swift georgian attack on the city of Sochi following a russian accusation of aggression against South Ossetia by Georgia, Russia began to mobilize it's army in a counterattack against Georgia. After two days of fighting, russian forces have managed to deprive Georgia of it's access to the Black Sea by pushing south along the coast. Now deep inside the territory of Georgia, russian forces are pushing against it's capital, Tbilisi

>Briefing:
Capture the city of Gori.

This mission requires close cooperation of ground forces with the air package tasked with providing CAS.

A very small contingent of georgian and NATO troops are holding the city of Gori, a vital chokepoint to the russian advance into Georgia's capital, Tbilisi. Take the city to secure a safe route into their capital.
Intel also suggests a convoy of NATO cavalry and IFVs moving west into the city.

=====FLIGHT PACKAGE TASKING=====
The group assembled to assist the ground forces in taking the city consists of:

TARCAP:
Your mission is to fly a CAP over the operation area and take out any enemy aircraft which would threaten the group.

CAS:
Your mission is to search and destroy any enemy ground units in the operation area and assist the ground forces in any way possible

SEAD:
Your mission is to neutralize any enemy SAMs and AAA in the operation area

Helicopters:
Your mission is the same as that of the CAS flight. Mi-8s may pick up infantry units at the FARP and drop them near the city to support the ground forces advance.

It's as if stystems modeling isn't hands down the hardest part of making a late 3rd gen jet module.

Also IIRC all of the Leatherneck staff has actual day jobs.

>>147221157

From Cobra himself, LNS has quite a few full time employees.

But yeah, the systems are the hard part, especially considering they're trying to do (I say trying, because I seriously doubt it will work well) ground radar before ED does. Why the fuck don't they have a 3d model ready?

What mods do you guys have in BMS?

>>147222032
Obligatory https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqdsTwyA5-U
I just have the Balkans theater, didn't really see any mods that got my fancy.

>>147222562
A must, obviously.
Jokes aside, have you checked stuff like JanHas' weapon upgrades? Bit of a hassle to mod model by model, but it's kinda worth it.

>>147222680
>have you checked stuff like JanHas' weapon upgrades
Not until now, no. To be honest I just got into BMS a few days ago and was more interested in learning how to get the Viper into the air and fly a successful mission. (It's a pretty damn good feeling.)
My short visit to the forums' mod section was more of a novelty affair.

What aircraft could conceivably expand the Korea Jet roster?

Like, the Meteor and the Vampire are obvious enough, I guess stuff like the F-80 would work but it'd get slaughtered by the Fagot. The F-9F?

So I'm sure I ducked in here once and someone said something like "Gaijin concluded the performance gap between the Korean war era jets and WW2 jets was too large..."

Assuming I'm not confusing myself or making things up, what changed to make them go "...But fuck it, let's throw them in anyway"?

/wtg/ pls go

Wrong thread, ladmate.
Also they said they don't want afterburners, everything else is fair game.

MiG-21 PVP OPS WHEN

>F-9F
The actually good version of it never fought in Korea, I don't remember if the shitty straight wing one saw combat. I'd say A1D, F-84 (while I find it vomit inducing it did most of the ground attack) and F4U.

How do you record your gameplay footage before webm'ing it?

Fraps records good for me, but the massive filesize is a turnoff for longer recordings, whereas open broadcasting studio lags the footage even when it lets the game play fine.

Did they die to end Nazism /simg/?

>>147229950
It's a better story than the truth.
they died for nothing.

On the other hand, the truth makes it all the more sombre, increasing the impetus that we never do it again.

>>147226909
I'd rather be the gunner myself for the time of the engagement, designating targets for range from the commander. Unless you're LARPing a tank commander, of course.

>>147230061
>increasing the impetus that we never do it again
but then how do you deal with the overpopulation?

>>147230241
Well now, if we look to the actual things the Nazis fought...

Anybody want to give HMS Marulken a shot?

>>147230136

I dunno switching positions is always a cock because then the AI starts doing shit I don't want it to do and the view from the commanders cupola is better.
