1.5 was a huge graphical update, but it also fixed a shut ton of stuff. It was like 3 pages of patch notes.

Hopefully 2.5 brings DCS to modern standards. It's our last chance.

Suicide rates? It can't be more stressful than in busy vfx house working on latest movies with slave vage and unreasonable deadlines.

But then again, maybe it is, the way I see the job it is a real time management of cue. Each item in the cue need an access to air space for limited time. Their job is to arrange the air space so it is reasonably risk free.

But that's wrong.

It's more stressful because if you fuck up you can kill hundreds of people. You'll be 100% ok, but hundreds of people are dead because you miss-spoke, lost situational awareness, etc. Welcome to jail.

You can't kill anyone by making a mistake in movie store.

You can however accidently line somebody up to wait on the runway with another aircraft short final causing them to collide killing everyone in both aircraft.

Risk free my fucking ass. That's where the stress comes from. There's no "I don't feel like trying/paying attention today" bullshit like other jobs. Every time you plug in there is that chance of shit going wrong. There's your stress, and there's your suicide rates.

>With Colonel Everest Riccioni and Pierre Sprey, Boyd formed a small advocacy group within Headquarters USAF that dubbed itself the "Fighter Mafia".[10] Riccioni was an Air Force fighter pilot assigned to a staff position in Research and Development, while Sprey was a civilian statistician working in systems analysis. While assigned to working on the beginnings of the F-15, called the Blue Bird at the time, Boyd disagreed with the direction the program was going and proposed an alternative "Red Bird". This concept was for a clear weather, air-to-air only fighter with a top speed of Mach 1.6 and max 5 1/2G turn, seeing the Blue Birds Mach 2.5 and 9G as unnecessary and inefficient, they also wanted the aircraft to be devoid of radar. Boyd and Sprey both proposed this concept to Air Staff but there were no changes to the Blue Bird.[11]

What a fucking retard.

With current doctrine bombers shouldn't ever need to go over .5 mach. They should always minimize heat and radar signature completely. This way they are practically invisible.

>>170408535
>advocated for a design that was worse in every way

>>170410930
Essentially an expectation of a soviet zerg rush that bordered on strawman.

You can either rely on the smaller number of F-15 shooting down 20 odd MiGs each, or make a plane cheap enough that you can throw up 20 of your own.

>>170412453

Did anyone ever find peak numbers for the USSR and NATO airforces?

>>170408535
Alright here's the deal. Colonel Boyd developed an interesting theory known as Energy-Maneuverability, known as EM for short. A fighter can pull so much G before it begins to detrimentally bleed speed and energy. This point is known as the sustained turn point.

What Boyd wanted was so that the fighter was limited to this sustained corner point, so that the fighter would always be turning efficiently. In an ideal world this makes sense, you get the tightest turn for speed, but you also lose pitch authority that might give you an edge in a fight. Luckily this was thrown out when Red Bird ultimately became the F-16.

Also ya'll should read this. It's required reading on /k/ if you want to talk about the F-35 or Pierre Sprey. All were retarded in their own way, but Boyd did ultimately give something useful to the Air Force with his work on EM. He was still a fucking idiot though,

I can dig it, there's something romantic about a dogfighter, but an advanced aeroplane piloted by a well trained crew will smear a well trained pilot in an inferior plane. I wish it didn't have to be that way, but some truly fantastic aircraft have come from this train of thought, such as the F-15, F-16 (after the Air Force told the fighter mafia to go succ themselves) and now the F-22 and F-35.

See now this is the argument presented now; a fighter like that the Mafia wanted got absolutely fucking caned by a fighter they claimed would be rendered irrelevant by a fuzz buster. So we shouldn't listen to them right?

No: EM theory is taught to USAF and USN fighter pilots as part of their training because it has useful applications in a fight.

Despite the F-22 being incredibly effective as an air superiority fighter, we can't build enough of them so we are building a shit ton of arguably more advanced, but cheaper fighters in the F-35 because we still need significant numbers, like the fighter mafia said.

Another problem was the way Pentagon handled future projects and money.

They provide a very low ball estimate, congress approves, out comes the real thing and now congress is stuck with it because to throw it out is too expensive to start again.

Also EM isn't directly credited to Boyd. At least in the flight test manuals I've been reading. The reference given is the energy approach work done by Rutowski. Pretty sad isn't it..

Libyan Tupolev blinders.

Does anyone have interesting stories from Libyan/Iraqi airforces with bombers and/or pics?

I read a story about one libyan blinder that got hit over Chad by a SAM I think and it survived for a while

I'd take a MiG-29M.

Fully multirole, fully modernized MiG-29.
Air to Air wise it'd compete against anything the game gets. It has a radar that is actually good, fully integrated data link giving it SA that matches western aircraft and the ability to take up to 8 R-77's.

Precision ground strike capability because it can carry up to 4 KH-29T TV guided missiles.

Can perform SEAD by taking 4 KH-31's.

All this attached to the legendary MiG-29 airframe known for its extreme acceleration and climb rate thanks to its thrust to weight. Maneuverability that can match just about any fighter ever made.

Plus we'd have a properly modeled HMS (shlem) system which would be dank as fuck.

Its what the MiG-29 should have been and would have been has the USSR not collapsed. Literally the Russian F-16. It'd be the last modern module you'd need for OPFOR for a very very long time.

I also kind of like how it'd fit with ED's thing of modeling prototypes (Su-25T, Ka-50)

It hurts. There was a lot of awesome shit the Soviet Union was planning for its 4th gen fighters.

MiG-29M, Su-27M, and MiG-31M. All fell through because of money. Except the Flanker, it got special treatment. The others eventually caught up.

At least the MiG-29K is literally a naval MiG-29M2 which is tight.

I wonder if the MiG-35 will become anything. Apparently it has AESA and shit.

not really.

aim9x is far better than the 73.

even though ruskies had it in the past, it never came to be a threat cuz they would've been bodied by 120s.

>>170426023

The R-74M and M2 would be a better comparison. The base R-73 is from the 80's.

The AIM-120 was put into service after the Soviet Union fell apart.

>>170426270
>The R-74M and M2 would be a better comparison
yeah they would, if they were actually in service..

It is a light buffeting that can be "felt" in virtual flight by the nutation of the Flight Path Marker (FPM) and a light turbulent-like sensation on the wings and airframe. It only happens with certain stores configurations under certain flight conditions

Look at all these people talking about simulation games

>>170441164
I mean, screaming that one game isn't a sim, is very much the essence of talking about simulation games

i managed to almost complete the bms 4.33 maverick TE

those shilkas are nasty + those low clouds + mountains FUGGG

i think i got ATGMed by the nearby BMPs at one point while i was searching for the shilkas hiding in trees, is it even possible ? i saw a missile trail with no sound warning and died..

Is the MWS modeled ?i think i flipped its switch during the startup

downloading BMS right now

That's like the 10% of posts in this thread

the rest is planeposting. bmpposting and a bunch of NATOboos having heart attacks and shitslinging

why can't they get their fucking thread

why can't we rename this to /planesandfagsfaggingoutandrandomBMPs/

>>170441981
>why can't we rename this to /planesandfagsfaggingoutandrandomBMPs/

lets shorten it and call it /simg/

>>170441678
BMPS sometimes come with Grails. No MWS, mk1 eyeballs only and a healthy use of flaring near enemy units.

Is farming simulator fully coop? Like can you play with a friend properly?

>>170444251
Yes one more, but we decided to pretend it didn't happen due to all-around spaghettification of the objective.

We're gonna fly it again first thing tonight. Attack on a frigate.

>people unironically play dcs instead of a game with an actual dynamic campaign (BMS or IL2) or a fun and balanced game (War Thunder)

as someone who has played warthunder to tier 5 jets
its not fun anymore, i cant imagine someone happily flying planes with the goal to get jets
it use to be quite fun but when you have Russian planes actually modeled by a different company then the other 4 it starts to get awkward. most of the non Russian planes are incorrect with flight characteristics like the mosquito and the ta 152 off the top of my head.
>>170446907
it is really not pay to win but god damn some of the premiums are broken, i would say its pay to progress though

>>170447835
Premiums and new tank trees (with the exception of Japs it seems) tend to be broken for a bit to garner sales, then when they're no longer selling they nerf them

The F-5 had one for emergency landings

Always wondered what'd happen if you tried to put it on a carrier.

Hi it's me, the harmless false flagger and meme maker who got reddit gold.

Considering I've finally made it to where I got my own edition of the thread I would appreciate it if you cucks didn't shit it up too bad with all these low effort posts

Also harmless I luv u bb, it was all fun and games.

>>170455847
All USAF aircraft excluding heavies have one AFAIK. It's mostly for emergency situations, though. Land-based cables decelerate the aircraft over most of the runway length, so you'd just rip it off if you tried to put it down on a carrier.
