  1. no, not all opinions are of equal worth when there is a direction to pursue
  2. you're bringing in a lot of questionable assumptions in to this and it's why you're getting dunked this is a trivial fight the biggest mistake people make with these up-engined brutes is over-energizing guys floor the pedal on a top fuel funny car and then wonder why they fly off the track on the first turn you're bringing a post-1990 meme to 1944
  3. remember that other kid that tried twice to propose a rafale mod before also getting smote down by dassault themselves? history just keeps repeating itself because you sad sacks never can take a hint
  4. apparently all these people have time enough to take off, fly long enough to warrant an autopilot and a refuel, and then land, yet they 'don't have enough time' to do any of them no, it's all bs. you have time, you are choosing not to spend it learning anything. you just want to be able to feel good without putting in any work -- but let me tell you something, you can have your easy aar and lie to yourself that you can fly all you want but you will never feel the real gratification that only comes with overcoming a challenge, and you will cry on the forum wondering why the game feels so boring and unrewarding when the problem can only start and end with yourself. im just trying to save you grief of your own creation but of course nobody heeded the warning about the monkey's paw either.
  5. you need to be flying a me262 to achieve the sort of raw performance disparity that allows you to just walk away from a guy like you're expecting. if you want to abuse your advantages, well... don't do anything the other guy can do too! any airplane can do a nice relaxing climb. now if you zoom climb, you'll peter out after a couple thousand feet, but do you think the p-51 will be able to do a circle and then also have the energy reserve to zoom up to the same height? all of a sudden you've done something he can't do.
  6. thats one heck of a rare pokemon you got there
  7. i do believe anyone who puts in the correct sort of effort will be met with success. aar is not something that you need to be superhuman to accomplish, if it was, it wouldn't ever have been adopted in the first place. one of the things that can lead you astray is right advice about wrong things. for example, if you have issues with pitch oscillations, you might directly account it to the stick; a preponderance of attention on the stick (like... curves) may well conceal the actual issue lying with pitch control using the throttle (maybe you have a wooden left hand). this can result in frustration where you think you're doing everything right (according to what you know) except you're not. the frustration is what leads to bad habits where you try all sorts of desperate measures to cope with incomplete understanding.
  8. the nastier the airplane the more fun (in game) we need all the cold war crazies
  9. time alone isn't a guarantor of anything, if you aren't diagnosing your outcomes correctly you may well end up just baking in bad habits instead. bad habits are worse than no habits, because bad habits must first be broken before new habits can be learned. i dont like the implication that somehow there is such a thing as being able to fly formation but not being able to aar. aar is flying formation. when you aar you are put to the test to see if you can really hold formation and the tolerance really isn't even that strict. if you can't even keep yourself inside like a 20ft box can you really honestly say you're capable of flying formation? this is why the call for easy aar reeks to me. every concession made encourages more self deception, more bad habits that beget more lies and deception that require even more concessions to uphold. all these 'aids' that people want, from 'gates' to 'lines' all feed a pathological avoidance of the commitment that produces positive results. there is no substitute for simply practicing and honing your abilities, and there is no myth or magic or intensity of zeal required -- only genuine desire and commitment.
  10. it's a sign you dont fly enough if you cant figure out who is flying simply by watching how they fly!
  11. 5-10 hours sounds about right, but its important to spread it out over time. 5 hours over a week builds muscle memory, 5 hours in a day builds frustration. if you're practicing right, you ought to be able to fuel after this initial investment, but it will remain a highly perishable skill until you rack up several times more hours.
  12. this is how it works irl
  13. kudos i guess to the transparency of the self-interest here at least lmao this is what happens when you raise a generation all to be 'problem solvers', now we're reaping a whirlwind of solutions looking for problems
  14. i think you can locate the modules directory separate from the binaries by using window's link function, but i dont think you should mess with it because ultimately theres nothing to gain in insisting that binaries be located on your os drive. i have dcs installed in its own dedicated ssd.
  15. yes you need to manually uninstall the whole deal with dcs starting in the wrong position on your screen doesnt sound normal though
  16. but the cutouts are even aligned parallel with the ground so obviously the intent is for guns to be aligned parallel as well, with leeway given for adjustments as needed for harmonization
  17. its a little more than that, its like low speed at lower altitude, but you're also getting dunked on by mach effects just the same as if you were flying at high speeds at lower altitudes. so even if your airplane is good at maneuvering around at low speeds, it doesnt automagically mean you can pull the same moves at high altitudes. you can feel the difference even with modern jets, you have to be a lot more ginger about maneuvering a f-15 doing 300kias at 40kft than the same 300kias at 4kft im just reiterating what pmiceli described really but i think a lot of people dont quite register the significance of mach when described in formal terms tldr: the higher you go, the more you're simultaneously both fast and slow
  18. everyone thinks they can do a better job when they're not the ones who have to deliver
  19. probably the best answer imagine being so conditioned by game dev psychology that you start to regard and question the world from the standpoint of video game logic its honestly an alarming af phenomenon
  20. with how much handholding some of you need you might as well just let jester into the front seat and bfm for you
  21. yes of course there are always greedy people trying any way they can to make others pay for their decisions so you're looking to recruit people also in the same boat as you to do what, organize for mass pressure?
  22. once you learn to take off in the i-16 the 109 is positively trivial to take off in, doesnt need any of this weird brake circus youre talking about at all
  23. osf ir sensor is gimballed, you can see a bit of the turntable base poking out on the starboard side spf quotes +/-90 deg azimuth coverage, and rotates in elevation for retraction
