  1. I'm all for a DCS F-15C. I can't wait to watch everyone over-g it to 12.5g and suffer structural failure. Where is my popcorn?
  2. This is just like all the flight sim games of the past. The AI is only good with aircraft that turn well in the horizontal. I never enjoyed the 190A-8 much in Aces High, Il-2, or here. To be successful with it you need a team of human pilots to fly with, who understand how to set up a drag instead of attempting a maneuvering battle they will never win. P.S. The AI 190D-9 will lose almost as quickly.
  3. You are right that the newest Mig-29 are ugly af. But just being able to take the R-77 makes the Mig-29S a lot more formidable than the Mig-29A, and I don't think the Mig-29S is ugly yet. :)
  4. I would choose the Me-262 because it is one of the kickstarter aircraft we are supposed to have.
  5. It being discussed many times is evidence that it doesnt help win a guns fight? That is not logical. Or if you mean that others reached that conclusion many times before, then I would argue they are wrong. There is a giant manure pile of cognitive dissonance at work here.
  6. What a bunch of man-drama. Who gives a crap if you have to have a facebook account? You don't have to use it except to use the quest 2. Big deal.
  7. And in DCS the F-14 will suffer structural damage if you over-g the jet, but the F-15 won't. Seems to me it isn't just the pilot that should have a g-limit, but I don't mean the training-wheel limit proposed in the OP.:music_whistling:
  8. It's a DCS limitation that has existed for years and years. Aircraft and vehicles are nearly invisible until you're on top of them. They tried these 'sprites' a few years back and they were terrible, so we went back to square one.
  9. Some of the aircraft lack any consequences for over-g, so if you're seeing someone pull crazy maneuvers repeatedly, that is why.
  10. I have no doubt that with VR you are at a tactical disadvantage against 2d pilots with a good trackir setup. Even with the very best VR sets the resolution just isn't there yet. Neither is the field of view. The neatest part of VR, looking around like a real pilot, having to crank your neck to check 6, is another one of its disadvantages. We still have servers that insist on no labels of any kind, which is really unfair to VR pilots.
  11. The Swedish equivalent on the DCS Viggen was dubbed the "Terminator" missile because it would turn 180 degrees to run down a fleeing opponent.
  12. I often decrease my sweep to 60 degrees and use 2 bar instead of 4.
  13. I have a job and a family. What you're asking for is what casual games are for, i.e. Flaming Cliffs.
  14. Yes, but introducing aircraft over-g consequences are more important, because in some cases they are completely absent.
  15. You just couldn't help yourself, had to attack the messenger for pointing out how arcade the F-15 is when it comes to g-limits.
  16. ED seems to have made a valiant effort to support the product, but the product doesnt measure up. The simple fact that the gloves use bluetooth is a giant red flag. If you want to translate your hand in xyz axes you're supposed to buy an arm attachment... and so on.
  17. Liberation is like BMS because after day 2 all the (fun) threats are gone.
  18. Correct. My remarks only apply to DCS and the simulation.
  19. If they were any good you would have heard by now.
  20. I'm a "Falcon guy" and I don't have any trouble fighting the M2KC with the Viper guns-only/WVR. Anyone who complains doesn't understand the strengths/weaknesses of the two airframes. less than 400 knots M2KC has the advantage more than 400 knots F16 has the advantage
  21. Even if it is a WVR fight the F15 is superior because it flies like an arcade game. It can do 12+ g break turns all day without consequence, while the Mirage fbw system will limit you to a little over 9. Good advice from other pilots. Learn anything else and you will get better faster.
  22. Don't pay the prices you see now. My guess is the major retailers will restock for the holidays and things will come back to down (to reality). So, be patient. DCS is worth it.
