Well some people play with an xbox controller too, once again that's not the point. But clearly nobody here uses a yoke so i'll just stop asking.

>>563004778
Tbh using a yoke in flightsims is already a niche on a niche, and it kind of limits you on other aircraft. Joystick is just the better choice overall unless you are building your own pure boeing/embraer/cessna kind of cockpit. Also they tend to be more expensive due to how their feedback is built into.

>>563011725
>once again that's not the point.

Yes. Thats why i'm asking if anyone here has experience with those.
>>563012079
I already have a good stick, it doesn't limit me at all. Price isn't exactly a problem either. But there's a few yokes on the market and i'm not sure where i should look. Virpil has pre-orders up for theirs, perhaps i'll just wait for that. Their stuff is always top notch.

Only experience is with pic related, but think yokes are a gimmick unless you currently or imminently plan to pilot huge ass transport planes on a regular basis.
If it's worth it to you, personally, for personal immersion, then it's worth it.

>>563012432
check out Honeycomb or VirtualFly or Precision Flight Controls for quality ones.

4 hours is fine, you can look out the window, listen to music, relax etc. How people do long haul, 8 hours+ or whatever is beyond me, maybe they just increase the sim rate.

The new P3d versions haven't been even cracked, not sure because there isn't enough interest or if they are using a hardware dongle now or something.

It's a lazy Saturday here, anons. Decided to fuck around with setups across all the raceist sims I play, try to fix my painfully slow lap times. Also bought LMU. Running Linux so had to get a custom Proton to make it work, but I did my research before purchase, so it all went smoothly.
So! Let's talk about LMU. I just have to say, every tuber who complains about Raceroom's graphics and never mentions LMU looking worse should be shot. I actually like how Raceroom looks compared to other sims. There might not be many bells and whistles, but everything looks very high-poly and plasticy which I love. LMU is sadly just rFractor 2 with a coat of paint. Looks ok, but puddles look like a mix of gelly and mercury. Driving is great and again, tubers saying FFB is garbage should be sent to camps.
For some weird reason, when playing yesterday all cars suffered from insane understeer and now it's gone, I'm guessing it might have to do with track temps as I chose a warm sunny day. This is the sim where I'm slowest - 1:54 on Monza with the Ferrari. Pole does a 1:47. Liftoff oversteer seems to be the scary thing here, need to play with the shocks some more to dial it out. Also, fuck whoever set baseline brake pressure for every car in this game, where only GT3s have ABS.
ACC feels the most predictable, but most 'violent' to drive at the same time. I found that lowering ABS values helps with breaking a lot and every tuber that says just slam the brakes and let ABS do the work is lying - breaking on the threshold seems the most effective.
On to the big one - AMS2. I struggled with GT3s here the most. Too much oversteer, too much right foot angle control. The Merc is the worst, in slow corners, just looking at the throttle pedal funny gives you a spin. I've ended up softening the springs, loosening the rear ARB and dialing down the diff to like 45 preload and minimal clutches. Yeah, it's still my slow ass 1:52s, but I feel in control of the car, it's stable. Finally!

>More downforce
Nah, it's long straights territory, I'm loosing time on the damn chicanes, aero doesn't matter here.

What I've noticed so far is that braking late gives me a really shitty and on-razor's-edge entry. With a bit of earlier braking point, I can coast through those reliably and get better exit speeds, but overall it's still fucking slow. Compared to 100% AI, I'm like 5-7 seconds off-pace. I could probably make the car stiffer, but then I'd have to be more careful on the throttle. TC is at 5 currently. Was thinking reducing brake pressure and trying a more aggressive left foot input or fucking with the brake bias.
I like how the car handles, feels planted and I can modulate my angle with the throttle in sweepers, it's just not fast enough.

No idea, new game for me, but as far as I know, only ACC has AI that use the same physics and limitations as the player. In all games, above a certain skill level they are said to use setups, whatever it means (probably some cope explanation, why the AI is way faster). Anyway, 1:54 is all I can get on Monza in LMU with the 488, this feels like more of an effort than other seems, where 1:52 is something I can do on the third lap with a basic setup. In ACC my fastest lap I think might have been around 1:47, though that might have been Imola and it probably was, since I'm more familiar with it. Speaking of...
<rant_time>
Monza fucking sucks! Who the fuck thought it's a good idea to put that shitty chicane as turn 1?! Normally the track would gradually go from the fast straight to a tighter turn; in 1960's you had all the time in the world to go from 5 gear in you Lotus deathtrap to 2nd and make the corner, but NOOOOO! We is gonna put up a big 'you no go straight' sign there, have you turn 90 degrees right, then 90 degrees left! It's a skill check, you see, can you slow down from 250kph, turn on a dime an coast through the corner while everyone else is looking at that inside line it's a black cock on a Woman's Day Disco Party?

It's a shit track... Kind of. It's one of those iconic tracks, that feels fun to drive at your own pace, but at the same time, has some tricky corners and that turn one chicane is brutal. You can either be conservative, consistent, but slow, or you can push it to catch up to everyone and risk crashing at every corner. Just finished 2 races against the AI at 90%. One in ACC, which got me at the same place that I qualified, which was something like 15th and the other in LMU... Qualied dead last, not even close to the next guy and during the race, first 3 laps I was kinda keeping up at least, but then the gap went to like 10 seconds and I didn't fuck up even once. On the one hand, it's soul-crushing, but on the other, from my experience with AC and iRacing, if I did a rookie online race at that pace, I'd gained one or two places at least, because at this pace, most people can't even do a clean lap.

Do you also happen to experience weird pitch trim behaviour in the Starship ? Like the plane becoming unstable and starting hard climbs/descents needing strong input to stabilize ?

Went back to ACC, way more fun without any effort. Went from 15th to 7th during a 15 minutes race. Pic-rel; light blue car is me overtaking the other dude on the final corner. Didn't fuck with the setup this time, just reduced the fuel. Have a good night everyone.

>>563332572
When I first turned on the autopilot on this flight it wanted to pitch sharply down for some reason when I was expecting it to climb to the altitude set on the altitude bug; not sure what happened there; ended up just pushing Alt to get it to take the current altitude and after that it was fine
But nothing specifically related to pitch trim

Strange. I feel there's something wrong with pitch on that plane and it's way more painful to hand-fly than it should but I have a hard time pinpointing it.

Can't shave the impression that Blacksquare planes are made to be flown on autopilot.

It's good, very good. Only flown for a couple hours so far but it may be the best warbird in MSFS.

It's raw and unforgiving, with the fastest startup I've ever seen and tailwheel steering which is a godsend for taildraggers. It's not as overpowered as Flyingiron Bf-109 but it's more nimble and has better handling, range and visibility. Sounds and visuals are top notch. For 20€ I'm happy with it so far.

Also Southern Turkey is a beautiful place.

"best" is subjective, if money is no object it's a full-FFB five-figure HOTAS with a VR headset on a $10k 6DOF motion rig, but if you're broke or lazy it's closer to a webcam and a 360 controller. whatever gets and keeps you flying is the best setup.

MSFS Huey translates 1:1 to *rma, you can do all kinds of illegal shit that would delete your rotor in DCS

It's weird to think how IL-2 Korea is, presuming it is historically accurate, will just be NATO ground pounding interrupted by the MiG-15 sometimes simulator

>>563468250
>presuming it is historically accurate
As far as I know, stock Great Battles campaigns are just randomly generated missions strung together with a UI and some persistent character stats. I'd assume Korea would be the same. It seems that Paul Wilson has left the modding scene, so I don't think we'll be getting a new campaign generator from him.

Mast bumping is what makes the DCS Huey exciting though! You never quite know if the reckless maneuver you are pulling is going to result in just falling out of the sky and exploding, and in VR it's even better since you can practically feel yourself go weightless.

It does, but it's pretty mild and arcadey. Modded helos can get quite good, and generally have superior flight models vs vanilla.
There's a rotor hitbox, as well as hitboxes for fuel, engine, antitorque, etc, you take pretty realistic damage from ground fire and have to either hop out and repair with a wrench or RTB for more serious stuff.
You can't mast bump, you can't over-torque, there's no rotor stress, there's no autorotation... it's definitely an arcade flight model, but loading up a bunch of crayon-eating mouthbreathers and shooting the shit with them enroute to an LZ isn't something you can do in MSFS or DCS.

>relatively easy to mod and design missions
Enfusion / Reforger Tools are the future of the franchise and blueprint for A4, but limited in many ways compared to A3 Zeus. The modding scene overall is much more fleshed out in A3 than Reforger, it's a fully mature ecosystem. Lots of vets and milsim boomers still prefer A3 so it's not completely dead, but expect a steep learning/skill curve in MP.
>>563517935
Lots of popular modes are [current year] conflict which can attract /pol/ types and derail threads, and some of the best A3 mods are scifi and fantasy slop like Warhammer, Star Wars, Halo, and other shit that doesn't really belong anywhere near /simg/ even if the arma general is dead

>>563521897
>Lots of popular modes are [current year] conflict which can attract /pol/ types and derail threads
People already post news articles because they have the words plane and bomb in them. The reason Arma doesn't belong here is because this is the vehicle sim general and Arma had their own active general. Exceptions are made for hunting games and the occasional oddity like that nuclear reactor sim. Things are different now and it's clear that mods don't care to enforce rules for generals anymore.
>>563515065
Simsfag doesn't want to discuss the sims, he's just spamming because he's mad that truck sim general is listed in the OP.

I propose we rename the general to vsimg for clarity

Fair, doing a hotdrop and crashing a heli full blueberrys is something dcs or any other sim can replicate. Filght model in squad is abysmal genuine dogshit, tho. How is the cobra in Arma, I've been trying to convince my friend to buy is Arma so he can be my gunner.

>>563554492
>>563555114
I've not used W*nw*ng sticks and throttles, but I do have the original flight panels they made and the quality is fine but not outstanding, and not as good as either the VKB Gunfighter or Virpil kit I've got. I'm fortunate enough to have never needed to deal with their support myself, but based on the horror stories and the quality of the stuff I have I don't intend to get anything else from them. Their main niche is if you're desperate for F-15/16/18 replica kit that's marginally better than Thrustmaster, although even then you're probably better off putting a Thrustmaster grip on a Virpil base.

Virpil's stuff is very good but I'd personally rate VKB higher. I had a CM2 grip and base but I eventually replaced it with a Gunfighter MCGU because I hated the ungated hats Virpil use. I'll second Virpil's support being excellent as my CM2 base originally shipped with dodgy cams and they sorted the issue quickly. I can't say anything about VKB's support as I've never had any issues but they are supposedly very good as well.

At first I was a little put off by the slow progression and the need to race with road cars that I thought were boring but now I'm enjoying racing with a wide variety of cars.
