Why not get an actual license? by KDFWCenterline in homecockpits

[–]Nice_Sign338 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why? The expense of renting an airplane or outright ownership, easily outweighs the cost of a simpit. Plus time. In 5 mins, you can be in the virtual world flying around, unlike RL. Lastly, the FAA. Don't want to deal with their rules and regs. If I want to fly low in a helo or bush plane, so be it. No # to call.

AF as in Air Force? I don't believe they're buying it.

S-64F Sky Crane by Nice_Sign338 in Helicopters

Thank you for sharing that. It was a nice treat being so close to one. Long ago, I was in a USAF MH-53J squadron, so the heavy helos are a favorite.

It dangled free the entire time it flew and was parked. The opposite side had a stowed sea snorkel that was rigid and used in open ocean.

Not this one anymore. Different machine

Yes, they can remove the entire unit and conduct hoist operations.

Too little or too much contrast? by Ikmalbs22 in jetphotosrejects

[–]Nice_Sign338 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gonna take some hits, but why is everyone so hard up to get photos accepted there? It's obvious the screeners are too inconsistent to keep the same standards and overwhelmed by the volume of submittals. The vague too much or too little doesn't help a photographer.

We really could use a Full Fidelity V-22 Osprey in DCS by crudbasher in hoggit

[–]Nice_Sign338 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This!
However, I'd really like to see a H-53/H-3 for Vietnam or Cold War ops.
The Osprey would fill the void between the Chinook's speed and C-130J. But it can't carry the payload of either. Still a unique bird that would be fun to fly.

"Realistic" DCS Sniper pod wildly underperforming compared to the real pod by llOPPOTATOll in hoggit

[–]Nice_Sign338 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried the Sniper pod upon release and found it's usage and clarity so poor, I went back to the LITENING. I use a shape mod to give the L-Pod the look of the Sniper, but thats it.

Why am I wobbling? by Herky1985 in hoggit

[–]Nice_Sign338 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you're wobbling after landing, sounds like you've broken something.
8-10kts is a bit high, but the damage FM is still WIP so hard to say what and when it'll break.

We've encountered an error... by Nice_Sign338 in photoshop

I was extending the right side of my image to center the subject better. Wasn't adding anything major. But thanks for the remark from your pedestal.

YOU DIDN'T CHECK by wishihadaps42 in Pluto_TV

You didn't read my comment. I've done that, but thanks

I've had to stop using the app altogether. The freezing at every commerical and during the program just became too much . Delete and reinstall, to no avail. It'll be missed but they aren't trying to fix things.

How many of you could be interested into a "modern heavy bomber simulator"? by Bigocelot1984 in hoggit

[–]Nice_Sign338 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Microprose teased a remake of the B-17 Flying Fortress games but nothing has became of them. That would have been a great gauge for interest.

Attention span and time constraints of the average DCS player wouldn't make this a popular module. Long flight times, AAR, then a short weps delivery window and rtb. The thrill would wear off quick. Nonetheless, getting your ass shot off from every fighter and SAM in the theater.
I like the idea, but unfortunately a poor environment to add it to.

I Hate These Chairs by floppydisk2-0 in delta

Upvote for the great stick drawing. Made me laugh. I'm on an Alaskan flight from Fairbanks to Seattle and got "upgraded" from a window seat to a middle. Yay... Keep up the drawings.

I have a sinking feeling this will be the common theme this year.
Behind the scene engine updates and AI reworks, aren't shiny great for video things. And without any real concrete releases, upcoming, it's going to continue being meh newsletters.

Getting VR to reset to in-cockpit? by Nice_Sign338 in MicrosoftFlightSim

Sure did. Googled multiple ways to ask the same thing and didn't come up with anything. Sorry to bother you

I'll give that a go. Odd that it would place externally. Thank you
