qwzcl Posted April 15, 2012 Author Posted April 15, 2012 Yeah, that's true, I hadn't thought of it like that. This has actually been a relatively productive discussion, I'm impressed. Any iOS developers out there who wanna make some money and make my life easier?
Speed Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 Wow, that is impressive. Working on installing it now. Request number two: make the goddamn sim more user friendly. I fly 737s for an unnamed Western military and I don't have a f*ing clue what I'm doing so far. I played Black Shark for a couple hundred hours and I still never figured out half of that thing. Just getting my X52 to work has been a nightmare, I still can't figure out how to make my throttle work (it uses the thumb-slider for thrust settings and ignores the main throttle body, I have no idea which of the 20 non-functional slider names represents what I want). Not complaining, just saying, I'm the nerdiest pilot I know, all my friends see A-10 and they go from "oh cool" to "f* this" within 5 minutes. And these are qualified fighter pilots. Make it easier to use and you'd ship a lot more units. Dude, if you think DCS is hard to set up, that its hard in DCS to get your axis settings, HOTAS programmed, etc... that could only be because you haven't tried Falcon 4 BMS. What a nightmare getting my HOTAS set up for that was... :cry: (lotsa bugs, poor documentation, etc). Intelligent discourse can only begin with the honest admission of your own fallibility.

I fly 737s for an unnamed Western military and I don't have a f*ing clue what I'm doing so far. I played Black Shark for a couple hundred hours and I still never figured out half of that thing. With all due respect, how long did it take you to get your 737 type rating? Im sure it was more than "A couple of hours" and I'm sure whats second nature to you in a 737 would be hard for an A-10 pilot and Vice Versa. Why would you think flying an Attack Aircraft would be easy? I have 22 years as a flightcrew member. I have always enjoyed flight sims but to be honest, I honestly didnt want to take the time to learn how to do more than shoot things and blow crap up. Reson is I figured if I was putting that much time and effort into reading a flight manual... It should be for the air craft I actually operated on a daily basis...not a game I retired in 2009 and I really miss flying. I still work, but now I have the time to sit and read the manual and learn how to fly the airplane correctly. My experience allows me to pick up on some concepts faster than my friends because I delt with it in the real airplane... But the learning curve is why a lot of us are here.
