If I find I want to learn a module I really enjoy myself. And I think after all that training doing a successful mission is so rewarding.

No plane tho, waiting for fw190A8 to be released on steam. Will probably regret it after first take off and realising that there is nothing to do in SP. But always wanted to get fully clickable cockpit and learn ww2 plane perfectly. A8 sold me there but wish they would make bf110 or/and ju87. And really hope (probably in vain) that they will expand ww2 with something more than random planes and fix Normandy map one day. Career please coooome! There was actually a very good set of FW190s, with clickable cockpit, in FSX back in the day. It was made by Classic Hangar and they had the whole startup procedure very well done. Was my first clickable cockpit and i really enjoyed their early fw190s. The 190s were very easy to start. After a few attempts i was doing it like clock work. I only got a chance for a quick airstart in the DCS A8. I didn't get to start it yet. I don't think all the cockpit is implemented yet. I tried to flip the cover over the fuel tank sellection panel and it wasn't active. If you have FSX i bet you can find the classic hangar 190s for cheap now to play with them. Edit. I just checked and they are not that chep, but for thirty one euros you can get all the A versions, ztraight from them: https://www.classics-hangar.de/store/shop2/product_info.php?info=p9_fw-190-a-kompilation--flight1-edition-.html Edited June 28, 2019 by Jaws2002
InProgress Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 @Jaws2002 There is new Microsoft flight sim coming out so maybe they will do some ww2 planes as well.
Jaws2002 Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 This new one they are making is most likely going to be optimized for console, so i doubt it's going to be worth the time and money. 2
Jaws2002 Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 Yep...i just checked. MS flight simulator 2020 for Xbox: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/microsoft-flight-simulator
Trooper117 Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 It's also on PC with win 10, and they have stated it will be a proper flight sim!

In order to work on both, the PC and console, they have to put a lot of limits on the game engine , so a specific model of console can handle it. Sure, the pc version may be a bit more refined, but a lot of parts of the game are going to be limited to what this generation of Xbox can do.
Poochnboo Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 It will also be released for Windows. And I'm trying to find where I read it, but it will be a flight simulator, like FSX not a "flying game." It looks terrific. I'm watching this. I have X-Plane 11, but it's not grabbing me the way FSX did. I'm not not enjoying it as much. I'm not even sure why, cause it's not that bad. It's jus not...fun. I don't know how else to explain it. 21 minutes ago, Jaws2002 said: MS flight simulator 2020 for Xbox: Ooops, Trooper beat me to it!

And just because the trailer looks great means absolutely nothing. Microsoft likes to do this kind of trailers. I still remember fsx trailer vs the real fsx, when it was launched. Anyway. I don't have time for the sims i have. I'll most likely sit this one out. 1 1

They can simply add sim option and normal/casual option.
Habu Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 Is some of you has mission for F86 and mig15, single (which can be adapted to multiplayer) or multiplayer ?

A lot of things in DCS opened up for me when I decided to take it online and start learning from the community...it gave me a whole new sylabus of skills to learn and practice, and seeing just how skilled and knowledgeable some of the other people who play it has raised the bar for me on what I want to be able to do with my planes. That leads to a whole lot of hours of tasks to work on, many of which are routine, but nonetheless challenging, and therefore worthwhile. Most people would be bored I suppose...I can't tell you how many hours I've spent just hooking up to a KC-135, until it becomes natural, or doing traps in carriers, or slinging loads in helicopters simply from point A to point B, etc. Some things have been pretty darned humbling, but in a postive way, because I'll see somebody else doing some challenging task as if it's 'nuthin, and then I'll try it, and I'm all over the place, and so then I'm motivated to get to work on it until I can perform like that too. Yeah you're right about that although unfortunately I myself rather ironically like DCS because it enables me to play more casually as oppose to flying long missions which I don't really have the time for. But to get really good at flying, as with driving a car, you've got to learn from the ground up and it isn't all just about combat. Same with racing sims, I suck at them cause rather than driving sensibly around the track, and slowly building up my ability as I do in real life with a real car, I try to win the race, which is simply beyond my ability! So lately I don't even try to compete just enjoy the driving! 1
Lusekofte Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 The amount of experienced mp players and the ease they blast my lumbering slow moving favorite aircraft. I simply do not go mp. Same story in GB really. I have no time for organized flying and pay a heavy price. I think this is why I like the learning in DCS so much. It give me a task I actually can do without interuption

Jaws2002 Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 Omg! What is that? Is this just a mod or an upcoming official add-on? I'd love to fly a well modeled mig 25.

Alexmarine Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 @Jaws2002 @LuseKofte is a little incorrect: that MiG-25 is from a recently announced mod, not a Razbam teaser ? Only upcoming MiG from Razbam so far announced is the MiG-23MLA 1 1

Lusekofte Posted July 16, 2019 Posted July 16, 2019 First attempt with a MI 8 on a cruiser, long over due in bad weather. What buggs me with bad weather is the ground handeling and wind. No sim can do that right, I also wish for a more physically felt wind while flying. I am pretty satisfied of physics while flying choppersin DCS, but it is ab bit off when weather is bad
Lusekofte Posted July 26, 2019 Posted July 26, 2019 I hit a wall of fatigue after weeks with Harriertraining and then folloeing up with A 10 C refreshing. I overdone DCS jet training. I was planning to buy this one. Right now I cant do another
Trooper117 Posted July 27, 2019 Posted July 27, 2019 Yes as usual the trailers are just great, almost true to life and very impressive... still won't buy it though, although there will be many who are creaming their pants over it right now! 1
Guest deleted@83466 Posted July 27, 2019 Posted July 27, 2019 (edited) I would prefer to see the Hornet completed first. Still lots of things to be implemented in that one before I'm going to consider buying the next new and shiny thing. Edited July 27, 2019 by SeaSerpent

That is a big old bird you are flying there. Is it possible to try to do the same mission with the gazelle to see how that feels in comparison ? I think it should be more in line with what you expect
Lusekofte Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 Quite possible. I got maxflightstick controls they are really good in all other things but Gazelle. The stick movement moves to much at the time in Gazelle. I will try fiddeling with sensitivity

They still havent fixed the P-51 fuel selector which makes half of the fuel tanks, including external drop tanks, completely useless. I like the DCS P51 but there will be zero dollars spent on them until they start fixing very obvious bugs. 1

I take your word for it and can only agree. In my mind the P 51 might very well be the best module I flown. I talked in TS with a guy that have som hours in the backseat of a dualcontrol P 51 in US. He had the pilot flying DCS module for a considerable time. And as suspected it was not correct in ground handling , but that could be the lousy wind simulation. Well in short there was. Something wrong in all aspects, but at the same time he was positive in all the same aspects and pretty impressed by how its modeled. I guess he is a air show pilot but I forgot to ask

You really do need micro movements. small inputs lead to pilot induced oscillations. I did ok though, well enough that the RQHI was happy enough to remove his hands from the controls and wave at his fellow pilots on the ground.

Jade_Monkey Posted August 3, 2019 Posted August 3, 2019 There is a new Bf109 K4 campaign (not compatible with Steam). I'm not going to pick it up yet, still working on Charnwood, and then the Epsom campaign for the Spitfire. Maybe if it comes to Steam and it's discounted I'll give it a shot.
Brano Posted August 3, 2019 Posted August 3, 2019 Sounds like Kurfurst fictional campaign, not even semi-historical. They really try hard to fill the void of nonconsistent development ? It's March 1944, the beginning of the end. The Reich has become a fortress without a roof....... 4
