I find it unspeakably relaxing to fly simply modeled civilian airliners in the background of what I'm doing normally, occasionally checking in for nice views.
i.e. take off manually, engage autopilot, hop via some VORs to destination, take back full manual control for landing most of the time (FS autoland tends to be screwy for me, I use ILS runways for reference but usually fly in VFR conditions even at night.)

Full fidelity is a bit more annoying since you have to do a lot more monitoring of systems instead of just watching videos or something while knowing that's going in the background.

Which DCS module?
I'm looking for something for MP fun, and I have BMS for servicing my autism so more interested in the simpler jets (may cross that line for the Harrier but not much else). Is the Tiger II a no brainer or would just getting Flaming Cliffs 3 be the way forward?

It makes the HUD so blurry and the lines soft and 'weak'

I just want to drive a tank and shoot dudes. I think I can probably figure that out if the game stops insisting I play a board game first.

European based racing league that currently race within Assetto Corsa, looking for drivers who can help fill a few empty seats that are available tomorrow night (Saturday - June 17th, 8PM BST).

We've just had a successful race at Brands Hatch and we're now moving onto the sandy dunes of Zandvoort.

We're currently racing the F3 car (RSR F3 mod) with custom teams/liveries.

30 minute practice session
10 minute qualifying session
100km race distance (one mandatory pit stop required)

200% tyre wear, 150% fuel consumption, simple adjustable setup (everything locked besides front wing, brake bias, tyre pressures and fuel).

We also have a 2 race dropped points system, meaning if you can't attend every race you wont be penalised for it as two of your lowest scoring points will be dropped from your total.

We currently host our races every Saturday @ 8PM BST.

F1, as much as I love it, trying to host an F1 league in F1 2016 was a horror show, and will forever leave a bad image in my mind. Pcars was day one buyers remorse and should avoid.

Practice each track you want to excel at, remember its better to go in slow and get a better exit.

Feather the throttle until you're in a straight line then go full beans.

yeah and that's probably some shitty old Russian jet and is also a picture taken from a camera.
I can't speak for Ruskie stuff but I have experience with European aircraft HUD (specifically the Typhoon) and it's nothing like that. It's super bright, crisp and easy to read.

Like I said in my original post, the mod is fine for some of the older aircraft but when I see it on shit like the Mirage or F-15 and it's made by some armchair pilot who is touting it as 'realistic' it's pure cringe.

Do you really think aircraft HUD would be so soft and easily washed out by the sky?

Presumably the mod is supposed to model deterioration of the phosphor coating. But this is just modelling poor maintenance, not how its supposed to work. Older HUDs are also extremely viewing angle dependent if you look at the optics involved, so its always going to look a bit strange through a camera.

Its a verisimilitude mod, not a realism mod, a bit like when someone draws a binocular shape around a "using the binoculars" view in a game.

even fly-by-wires recreate flight "feel" it is essential to flying, especially in helos.

even drone pilots use sticks that use ffb to recreate "feel" of flight.

if you have not flown a helo, nor used ffb, you do not understand trim.

Biggesst thing, ffb in flight is just fun, I don't care if it's realistic or not, my experience in the sim si not even 5% of real flight, there are no physical cues when playing a video game, a force feedback stick at least gives you one.

realism is not the goal and never was, it's verisimilitude

cool, most people work just fine without ffb, nobody is saying it is essential, it's just a fun addition that makes many cues more readily apparent.

You can't even imagine how easy it is to mod this game

to create a new theatre you just need :
- a map
- a file indicating the position and the name of cities/countries/ocean names
- a file giving the name of the two sides


that's about everything you need

How to USN SSN, 1968

1. All of your torpedoes suck. Do not use them.

2. Skipjack a fast. A fast!

3a. Use USSR ASW torpedoes

3b. Charge those gahtdamn russkies and lead their own torpedoes back to them in a swirling clusterfuck

4 Die to surface ships because they aren't so generous as to launch good torpedoes at you

I understand this game is called "COLD WATER", I'm interested but...
Can you or someone tell me how complex/realistic it is? or how HARD it is to play?
(so far I read >>179825678 )

I'm looking for something realistic but with an interface that make it much easier to feel like a real captain.

I grew up on Flight Simulator and Orbiter space sim but abandoned them for things that take less time like KSP or (I foolishly believed) War Thunder (abandoned too for other reasons)
Children of a dead Earth only caused me trouble because the Interface/AI don't allow to do some basics tactics easily.

By the way, I also played a WWII destroyer simulator, I did hunt submarines.

Does anyone else play the 1968 campaign or am I the only one? All I see is people running in the 80s and complaining about airborne ASW.

Come and play the early cold war! Mark 37 will teach you.

Just got head-tracking. I can't believe i've been using the hat-switch all this time. But I can't get the hang of positioning. It seems like no matter how I set it up there are blind spots where it won't track properly. Gunsights in WW2 games are especially fucky but trying to read tiny instrument panels in DCS is also a challenge when it stops tracking too close to the camera.

Where do you put your camera in relation to your body? Right in front? How far away?

>>180033741
1968 2hard. also anyone complaining about airborne asw is a shitter and needs to get good. if anything its too weak, especially bears

>>180034086
Make it so when you turn your self its about 300x IRL.

Cold Waters is fucking FUN. They need to add some more stuff to the game, but as a foundation it's excellent

>>180036823
Not too keen on the price though, at £30 I don't even feel like buying it right now.

>>180034086
The camera goes in front of you by about two feet at head height and slightly offset so that it lines up with the tracking clip.

As for sensitivity, crank it up. You need to go into the settings and change the rotation speed so that it's not over sensitive near the middle, but quite sensitive at the extremities. Pic related. I have it so that the acceleration ramps up quite fast (hence how steep it is) but it initially has low acceleration near the centre which works well for me. The end result is something that I like but requires very little head movement.

Sonobuoys.

>>180084381
those things passively listen out for sub noises then radio it to the mothership. alternatively they can send out active sonar 0pings to track you, though idk if cold waters models active sonobuoys.

then you die from 5 airdropped torpedos :)

>>180086150

>only 5

>>180086915
yeah they should drop more but they never do

>>180084924
FFs?

Always force a knife fight. Their rocket launched DCs will chip you away so you have to get inside their range. Once you're into a close turning situation you just need to try and get into his baffles then sneak a MK37 up his ass. Or just launch one Mk37 right at him and another perpendicular to the sub in the direction he starts evading.

If he steams away from you at 30+ knots then follow briefly, cavitating at flank before making a hard turn, diving and cutting the engines down to 5kts. He'll almost always turn around to re-acquire you, giving you a chance to launch a Mk37. If he doesn't turn then all good. FFs can FFuck oFF. They're never the mission target.

DDs are the same strategy but they're bigger and slower so its easier.

can we add this to the tutorials in the sticky?

Speaking of Cold Waters, this guy apparently had the developers in his chat during this stream of the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlVfdbEOaMY

Question about "Cold Water", I got this is centered around Submarines, but can we control surface ship as well?

I know their first game was about that but from what I read it's limited to WWII ship.

So?
