Mad Dog 762 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 When I learned to fly the Black Shark some years ago, I started flying it in Game Mode, then switched to Sim after I had gotten used to the controls and cockpit. Apparently, Game Mode has never been implemented on the Mi-24, even in the latest updates. Does anyone know if it is planned for the AH-64?

I'd expect some kind of easy mode, but which is something related to controls and keybindings and not like Arma's flight model's game mode. Banned by cunts.

jubuttib Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 I haven't been following that aspect, but don't those things usually come in very late in, or after EA? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kengou Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Early Access products have historically not gotten Game Mode at all. In fact I can't think of any product in the last few years that has had Game Mode implemented that started out in early access? 2 Virpil WarBRD | Thrustmaster Hornet Grip | Foxx Mount | Thrustmaster TWCS Throttle | Logitech G Throttle Quadrant | VKB T-Rudder IV | TrackIR 5 AMD Ryzen 5 3600 | Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB | 32GB DDR4 3200 | SSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schlomo1933 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) There is no game mode needed…. If u want fly arcade, play some other game. if u want to learn… start training in simulation mode. Otherwise the training makes no sense. the Developedment of a game mode is a waste of resources.

Apparently, Game Mode has never been implemented on the Mi-24, even in the latest updates. Does anyone know if it is planned for the AH-64? Same here, not so much the controls but to get used to HUD symbology and other cockpit switches - definitely. In fact I still fire it up in game mode every now and then, if I'm pressed for time and just want to get in and blow stuff up for a few minutes. For me - Would be nice to have, but not at the expense of the closest I will ever get to the real thing. These days for modules that don't implement it, I just climb that learning curve and make use of the pause and restart mission functions to give my ageing brain a chance to catch up. Invulnerability, no fog of war, unlimited weapons and fuel FTW... but I guess I'm not hardcore Edited December 21, 2021 by Harry_Bumcrack additional info 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phaze11111 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I'm hoping for a game mode at some point too since I'm a casual DCS user. Looking forward to this module for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schlomo1933 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 (edited) It has nothing to do with elitism. As an example: Does it make sence if you buy a Supercar like a Lamborghini , but u use only the first gear because u dont want to learn to drive ? with the DCS Moduls its the same, the cost a lot of money. And if u buy them , why u dont want to use them fully ? Its not hard to learn a modul. There are plenty tutorial videos available. U can learn to start and simply fly around within 1 Hour . To learn all asspects of a modul u will need more than a couple of weeks. But this will be much more rewarding. And the developers working realy hard , puttin in a "Game"Mode will be even more work. For what ? If u only want to fly arround and kill everything , their are much better "Games" available.

Maybe he likes the simplicity and if you can’t understand that, it’s ok, that’s the nice thing about dcs is you can have dudes who just want to do the simple thing and dudes who go down the checklist. It’s a sandbox. He’s welcome here even if you don’t think he should be because it’s a “sim not a game.” That’s sim elitism If someone bought a Lamborghini they can do whatever they want with it, it’s theirs Edited December 22, 2021 by kgillers3 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have de Apache, the F/A-18C and other modules, and whatever the way I fly them is my concern only, so guys like me deserve to enjoy DCS the most as we can, also.
