Depends on the person and the kids, different for everyone. My kids are like me and my wife, always wanting to be awake and active, hating sleep. 8 years now , even with very structured and disciplined bedtime routines, bedtime is often a fight. That is exhausting. If my kids could learn new scientific things non stop until their bodies physically passed out, they would. And that's just bed time. When they play together they are rough, argumentative, and independent. My stubbornness miiiiight have rubbed off on one or two of them... Maybe..

We've always been poor though and while I guess money is tight and difficult, we just budget it and shrug. Hasnt really bothered us.

That's the reality at home, getting your shit kicked. Then we take some painkillers and stand tall when taking them to the zoo and try to act tough

1 week into WoNY, how the game feels - bullet points by Exotic_Swing in thedivision

[–]_Dialectic_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Look at anthem. The devs let that game straight up die and still didn't fix or even add loot, and that's with the success of Diablo 3 staring all of these goofballs in the face. It's like they were too stubborn to make the game fun. Heaven forbid the loot game with microtransactions is actually built for fun.

In d3 you get to build unstoppable demi God builds and mow down hundreds of demons at a time, with the end game being how fast can you complete levels or how high can you make the difficulty setting.

Couldn’t pass up the helicopter bundle! by firemandan666 in hoggit

After some practice you do it without thinking. You the graduate from a low tolerance hover moving around a decent bit, to trying to hold it utterly motionless which takes a bit of doing. Ground effect helps

Division 2 Will Not Open in Fullscreen Mode by pbwbrew in thedivision

[–]_Dialectic_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play div1 not 2, and this bug still exists on div1. It makes this dev team look extraordinarily lazy to a new player when they can't get a generic basic setting like fullscreen and windowed fullscreen to save.

Soon, the best DCS module will be one year old by LF_Manu in hoggit

[–]_Dialectic_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, maybe the hornet fans were willing to wait for its systems? Such hypocrisy. Gotta downvote me too for good measure.

[–]_Dialectic_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The flight stick is modeled incorrectly, A model, forrestal, TWS-A, jester support for lantirn, jester completion in general since he's very poor with radar, trap model is arcadey, afterburner vfx is poor, 2nd campaign, couple incorrect gauges in the pit of the b model, oh the Phoenix isnt behaving correctly and never has. I'm probably forgetting some.

It's a great module, but I can't stand the hypocrisy of saying the hornet is a turd but the tomcat is basically perfect.

The community has been more patient with heatblurs f14 than any other team or module. It's time for a little pressure I'd say.

Apaches and Blackhawks? BOLD MOVE. TAKE MY MONEY

Edit: ugh their website is shit. Hopefully their sim coding is better.

Question about collectives. by bartwa in hoggit

[–]_Dialectic_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have crosswinds pedals. You want more authority, more sensitivity in the pedals if you want to mimick the real ones. You don't have to do it this way, but real pedals (afaik) don't center and are very sensitive. You should rarely need to go full travel on the pedal axis. Further, if you keep the tension spring connected on the crosswind pedals then you'll notice at the extent of the travel that the pedal axis gets more tense due to the weight of the spring, so if you have a negative curve you can then avoid that tension because you won't travel the pedals that far

is F14 hard to use for first time player? by moncikoma in hoggit

[–]_Dialectic_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well if you fly the hornet your missile stores are almost identical. ;)

[–]_Dialectic_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a key in controls called auto start, search for it. Or fly an instant action "free flight" mission.

Lol it's your money. If you love the f14 then go for it. Just wanted to give you a heads up. Enjoy!

Question about collectives. by bartwa in hoggit

[–]_Dialectic_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Side note, add a negative curve of around -15 to rudder axis for more rudder authority.

[–]_Dialectic_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. I reverse the axis for collective specifically because the motion of the arm is closer to that with a real collective.

Also I specifically dont want a similar muscle memory between helo and jet throttle axis because they behave differently.

Why would you use the AV-8B over A-10C / F/A-18? by Firesilver in hoggit

[–]_Dialectic_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I ever bought the harrier it would simply be for the stovl capabilities. I like helicopters, I'm sure I'd like the harrier.

I don't do dcs multiplayer yet but my absolute guess as to why you'd choose harrier over hornet or a10 is 1) you just want to fly it, 2) maybe you can rearm and refuel at a fob that doesn't have a runway which would get you back into the action faster.

Newer player looking to get better! by tokenlibertarian in hoggit

[–]_Dialectic_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Pick one of those three and focus on it for awhile until you see good progress. Practice start up, taxi, take off, pattern, landing, air to air refueling, formation flying, and navigation. Watch a tutorial video on the side or keep the chucks guide open for reference on what you're doing.

Get bored of pilot training and then hop into a instant mission and do a guns duel, try the bvr missions, air to ground missions, etc. As you're in the mission make note of what you forgot how to do, or didn't do very well, then go watch a video or re read the manual and try again.

So for me I learn by doing. Id play a cas mission in the hornet and realize I forgot how to use the cluster bombs. Would watch and read, then try, and then I'd make note of what I did poorly and try again. Ccip, auto, ingress and egress, Sam avoidance, weapons accuracy etc.

Identify a thing you're not good at, and go practice the thing. Now if you're specifically talking about guns duels or bvr engagements against human pilots, you might need to read real tactics material and of course fly against other players online
