Mitch has said both sides will eventually have unique plane sets. At some point PALA and the BDF will each have their own COIN aircraft.
Personally think the Cricket is closer to a Skymaster than anything, maybe with some Bronco DNA mixed in.
It's not unreasonable to guess that the Cricket's counterpart will have a low wing like the Tucano or Pucara to make it visually distinct.

MSFS 2024 is the buggiest piece of shit flight sim ever made. Even more than a year after its release everything is still broken and it still runs like absolute dogshit. Once X-Plane fixes their ugly anti-aliasing it's going to be game over for MSFS.
>>
>>555698772
Are you the same anon that always seethes about the career mode in 24?
>>
>>555699069
No I don't care about that shit at all. The thing MSFS is worst at is flying airliners. The ATC and AI traffic system is so unimaginably broken that it shouldn't even be in the sim. And even something as simple as weather radar data still isn't implemented 6 years after the release of MSFS. The entire sim is made by incompetent lazy frenchmen who work 5 hours a week max and published by a jeet-run company that only exists today to grift money from the AI bubble. Once the bubble bursts I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft entirely ceased to exist. X-plane on the other hand is made by actual passionate pilots who want realism and accuracy in a sim.
>>
>>555700819
It's a video game. Settle down, Beavis. Simulation and simulacra.
>>
>>555700819
The ATC and AI traffic aren't great I'll give you that, but X Plane doesn't stand a chance against MSFS. Even if you install autoortho and the rest it still looks shit near the ground. Not sure why you have performance issues those, it runs really well for me, much better than 2020, especially since SU4.
>>
>>555701210
>The ATC and AI traffic aren't great
They're literally non functional. In X-Plane I can file a flight plan and the ATC will route me through the proper SIDs and STARs and even vector me to the final approach every time. If you try to follow ATC directions in MSFS, you're guaranteed to never make it to the airport. It really is broken 100% of the time.

>it still looks shit near the ground
Have you seen what MSFS looks like near the ground? I'll take basic orthophotography with modeled buildings over this shit any day.
>>
>>555702198
Yeah, default ATC in MSFS is garbage. I have tried BeyondATC and it is less shitty, but still not ideal.
>>
>>555702198
How is the X-Plane performance wise vs MSFS ?
>>
>>555702198
That isn't true, it can work fine in IFR, I've realised it's all about the flight plan. If your plan isn't perfect with the altitudes then the game will be an idiot and won't tell you to descend until you're on top of the airport. I found importing plans straight from simbrief results in issues for this reason, if I plan using the EFB in the game I don't have any problems. VFR is fine, it's just IFR that needs improvement.
>Have you seen what MSFS looks like near the ground
Yes of course, I play the game mate. Photogrammetry has its pros and cons, I don't think I've had issues like that your pic though.
>>555702637
2024 runs really fucking well now, I get over 100fps on ultra settings most of the time.
>>
>>555702727
I'm playing MSFS 2024 daily and it runs OK. Getting 60-70 fps on 3440x1440 resolution with ocasional stutters (RTX 4070, textures medium due to the vram usage). If I dial the resolution down to 1080p ultrawide it jumps up to 90.
>>
>>555703038
The game needs a beefy CPU, I'm on a 4070ti super but with a 14700k. I'm not sure I've seen it use over 12gb of VRAM, but it does often get to 11gb, that's why I went with the ti super of the normal one, for the extra ram.
>>
>>555703326
Do you fly airliners with the default EFB planning and default ATC?
>>
>>555703447
I have done, as I mentioned, importing directly from simbrief with no tweaking results in the ATC only telling you to descend basically after the penultimate waypoint so you'll be too high. Using purely the in-game EFB to plan was absolutely fine, so I think it might just be that the ATC isn't very smart when it comes to checking your route and just goes straight off the plan. Check your altitudes at each waypoint in the plan so it doesn't end in tears. It also copes with SIDs and STARs fine.

Ok. I will try it with littlenavmap and importing into the EFB. Wonder if it will work OK. I'm tired of bazillion 3rd party apps and websites and alt tabbing to them.
>>
>>555703935
Just double check the altitudes per waypoint in the EFB when you import it into the game before setting off, that's where the issue is. Even setting them up properly in littlenavmap can result in them getting fucked up in the game, I have no idea why.

>>
>>555702637
I get 30-40 fps on large detailed airports running at 1440p max settings on my Mac with an M4 Max, but it's at least solid with no stuttering. On my PC with a Ryzen 5800X3D and Radeon 6800XT I was getting something like 20fps at the same airports in MSFS 2020, with massive amounts of stuttering every time you changed the view or looked in a different direction. I never even bothered trying 2024 because of how buggy it was on release and still continues to be. I avoid all Microjeet products as a rule these days.

>The entire sim is made by incompetent lazy frenchmen who work 5 hours a week max and published by a jeet-run company that only exists today to grift money from the AI bubble.
Reposting so everyone can read it again. FS24 is quite a bit better than it was at launch, but it still runs like hot garbage compared to DCS while only looking a little better. I get a very solid and fluid looking 90 fps in DCS with my Crystal Super and a 5090, but in FS24 it's usually 35-40 fps near the ground, and only able to hold an acceptable 45 fps if I'm at high altitude or out in the boonies where there are few trees and buildings.
The problem is that the only reason I fly MSFS is for the sightseeing, so if that's the part that bogs it down then I might as well just keep flying bombing missions into tel aviv in DCS.

That's not the plan I heard. Or the plan changed.

The problem is that it make balance difficult while excluding planes you want to play because of their peculiar mechanic.
Plus it would mean having equivalent for every edge the other side has.
Fast Combat/Transport helicopter? Now you need two more.
VTOL Tarantulas/C130? Now you need another.
Supersonic bomber? Now you need another.
Heavy bomber? Now you need another.
Jump-jet laser AWACS? Now you need another.

So long as you can handwave it mission by mission in the name of fun, that's ok.
But I hope they don't do that before running out of airplane with unique dynamic/features.
I still want my 2070 Rafale air-fighter or it will go nuclear, this is NOT an option.

>>555712730
The 307 was made by Aeroplane Hell so it was always going to bed shit. The T-38 is made by Blackbird so should be decent.

Worst name and worst modules of all time has to be MSCENERY. Every single one is low effort dogshit, and they chuck a new abortion of a plane out on an almost daily basis for a ridiculous ask of $12-$20.
THEN, to top it all off, they perpetually leave their modules on "sale" for $1 off so that you have to wade through their sludge when you are trying to see what's on sale in the MSFS store.
I am 100% sure that this alleged developer is based somewhere out of somewhere in the third world, most likely where elephant, tiger, and train attacks are a daily part of life.

Hello Sublords. I've scanned that 1942 German U-boat book I mentioned a few threads ago. Scan quality isn't the best but I was using a shitty personal all in one. I have some other books of historical interest but I think I'll go to a copy shop if I decide to upload them.

>>555808035
I assume so, and Canada too. The pattern for states is a bit wonky in places, it's very roughly move right then work from the bottom to the top but not quite. I believe Illinois is next, even though they haven't done the Montanas and the state that's next to Illinois, Minnesota? Honestly I'm learning about the geography of the USA through the game kek. I feel like there might be a rush to Florida at some point so it wouldn't surprise me if they prioritised that.

timestamp? I watched it 2 times and didn't see.

I don't get why they showed the mirage F1 at all since the only difference there is the new set of systems (that clearly aren't implemented). the starfighter or f100 may have had a cockpit shot, not sure which, but I didn't see the tornado even once. just the new tomcat and eurofighter for the most part.

6.5/10. Better than the CJ one and with more room for improvement but still not purchase worthy. The last update improved slow speed behaviour, but there are still bugs

Is that score due to bugs, or is it not very detailed?

>>555915794
mostly the bugs/behaviour at high speed paired with that weird hard coded ceiling of 60k feet that magically stops you. Since it's MSFS and not DCS I'm more interested in a realistic flight model compared to the various subsystems.
The stuff they have simulated in terms of SMS pages etc seems solid, but I also know almost nothing about the EF.

What kind of success are you talking about? If you're talking about a basic mode of transportation then a car is objectively better, safer and more comfortable. Meanwhile motorcycles are a niche and people get them various reasons. Either it's some boomer who wants to relive his youth, a student who can't afford a car, some adrenaline junkie, or just some guy who likes motorcycles and the freedom they give.
There are multiple big companies making motorbikes, like Yamaha, Honda, BMW or some chink brands that I don't even know. It rather counts as a success.

No, even though I've spent 700+ hours across ATS and ETS2 I've only ever used a 360 controller. It seems ridiculous, and isn't ideal, but I don't want to spend 300 quid on a wheel I'll rarely use as I go through phases with truck sim, and don't really play many other racing games. Someone here should be able to help though as there are others with wheels, alternatively ask in the games thread on /o/.

Cool thanks, i have more than 1800 hours on ETS2 and over 500 in ATS so a wheel would be a good purchase for me, probably. Anyway, happy trucking.

It definitely is. The ones I've seen are always 'smashed into the ground when trying to land' or something along those lines. There are a lot of retards who'll go up in ultralights with little to no experience.

So how much is this thing going to cost? Will they be able to price it under $1000, them being chinks and all?

Is it finally ogre?

They overdid it with clouds. On high and ultra they look like a fucking cotton.I use medium and it's slightly better.

>>556196620
They're too blobby in msfs, even in 2024 at max settings.

I'd like to add I don't think they look bad, I'd just like to see more definition on them.
>>
>>556232997
It even comes with pedals included

You are playing the game wrong then.
>>
>>556238762
Then why is it in the game? Why was it totally viable until recently?
>>
>>556243151
So you can still play the game if you have no access to the internet, but normally multiplayer is the proper way of playing.

This will also be something that either gets used to train religiously every day or sits in its shame corner collecting dust and getting used to hang laundry.

Looks like one of the Xen grenade creature from Half Life Alyx.

Off-topic but is it any good? Still haven't played it and I have a VR set up for simming.
>>
>>556252872
I think it's supposed to be the only good VR game
>>
>>556253193
Not counting flight or driving sims, I've enjoyed Into the Radius, Blade & Sorcery, beat saber, some boxing one, dragon fist, and VTOL VR. I do wish there was something like Blade & Sorcery with a historical setting and an emphasis on getting realistic dueling behavior.
>>
>>556257897
Did you ever play Eve: Valkyrie?
>>
>>556252872
It's good, but is starting to feel dated. I'd recommend Blade & Sorcery or Arken Age over it for just better movement systems in general. It's still worth playing through Alyx at least once though, you can also try Of Lies and Rain for an experience that is very, very similar to Alyx if you want more of the same.

It's hard to stick to just sword fighting in that game when you can just shoot a massive beam of energy out of your palms. That is my one critique of B&S.

why arent any milsims examples of welcome or not welcome sims?
>>
>>556261770
Like Arma? I think they have/had their own general.

>>556262012

Can i play DCS only with a couple of DLCs and a controller?
>>
>>556313082
Yes, you can do whatever you want. I recommend starting with some of the free mod aircraft, and there are controllertard profiles available here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/filter/type-is-profile/user-is-Tuuvas/apply/

What are the best automobile sims? I have ETS2, ATS, Dirt Rally 2.0, Automobilista 2, Assetto Corsa Competizione, BeamNG.drive, Assetto Corsa and Forza Horizon 5.
>>
>>556316250
arma 3
>>
>>556316250
supposedly IRacing is the one of the best regarding fidelity and physics. But I find the subscription model egregious in modern times. I think they can get away with it because that what the "Pros" use.
>>
>>556316250
I'm a BeamNGer myself, there is just something about hitting a bump too hard and breaking a suspension component that really drives the immersion home for me.
>>
>>556322650
i've heard it's really expensive, you basically need to pay for everything

>>556324785
i only have 16.2 hours on beamNG.drive but they were really fun hours, dunno why i haven't played it more
