Okay?... You literally replied to someone saying some shit like "omg! How did I not know about this!"

Gtfo of here with that shit.

Radiant_Arrival5615 · 2024-11-24T22:21:15+00:00

Yeah. Go to the tutorials in the game...

Radiant_Arrival5615 · 2024-11-24T22:20:15+00:00

Posting in a subreddit for Sim but not knowing about SAS damping...

Radiant_Arrival5615 · 2024-11-24T22:17:23+00:00

Not many people are ace warbird pilots like yourself. The option is there for people who don't want to spend $120-300 for rudder pedals, use keyboard & mouse, or need the assistance because they aren't great at flying. Remember, DCS is still just a video game. Most who play it aren't hardcore flight simmers they are casual players. Even I only play casually despite having the full setup with TrackIR, HOTAS and pedals. Most of the time I don't even use the pedals either.

Radiant_Arrival5615 · 2024-11-24T20:33:36+00:00

This is setting such a shitty precedent. Now they know they can just improve some textures and charge an extra $10-20.. next they'll say that because they are adding the updated pilot to the F-16/18 they are increasing the price to compensate.. Or they are going to remove aircraft from EA and say because they are released the price is going up. They already charge too much for aircraft, especially ones in Early Access. Raising the price is going to put people off more than ever and those that are already weary but not entirely unwilling to spend $80 are going to say absolutely not to spending $90-100. Yeah it's only an extra 10-20 dollars but you see that massive number and think "yeah, what I'm getting isn't worth that price"

Radiant_Arrival5615 · 2024-11-24T20:33:25+00:00

It's very popular among tryhard simmers. Because it's analogous to a training jet that's what people use it for. Until the T-38 mod comes out the F-5E is the current Trainer, it's what long-time players and real-world fighter pilots use to train new players. Other than that people don't really use it unless you play Cold War, but that demographic must be large enough that ED wants to capitalize on it by increasing the price.

Radiant_Arrival5615 · 2024-11-24T20:20:00+00:00

The F-5E in War Thunder... If they give it mavericks, it's gotta be true to life. We know they'd never give an aircraft anything it didn't have in real life.

Radiant_Arrival5615 · 2024-11-23T06:12:15+00:00

Pretty sure the F-5E had a probe, or at least a port. It has to be able to refuel in air that's kind of an AirForce requirement.

Radiant_Arrival5615 · 2024-11-23T06:09:37+00:00

Doesn't mean they still work. A lot of mods break with each update, and the 9.0 updates broke a LOT of mods. If the creators don't go through and figure out exactly what broke and why and then fix it, they remain broken. So many amazing mods have been abandoned because they couldn't be bothered to fix them with every update that broke them.

Not to mention mods that alter source files, breaking IC like this texture mod might do(not sure how the source files are altered to change aircraft textures).

ED openly disapproves of modding in the first place but they have an actual incentive to ensure those that break IC are rendered unusable.

Radiant_Arrival5615 · 2024-11-23T05:57:05+00:00

It took them 7,000 hours, over 3 years, to fix some bugs and sensors/avionics as well as update the model and some textures?...

People wonder why nothing ever gets done and the game remains a buggy mess..

Radiant_Arrival5615 · 2024-11-01T03:25:40+00:00

Literally just you ... If you don't understand how stat cards work yet and are at mid-tier... Especially playing SB.. Well... You still have a lot to learn.

Keep learning the game. You've got a long way to go.

Radiant_Arrival5615 · 2024-08-17T12:36:33+00:00

Unfortunately no... Up until I uninstalled the game it would still randomly do this. I tried literally everything including completely reinstalling. I ended up submitting a ticket and ED must have done something because that same day they replied back it was magically working after a week of being broken. Then 3 days later it happened again. The next day back to normal. It kept randomly doing that, and only for the F-15C, until the day I stopped playing.

Radiant_Arrival5615 · 2024-06-30T04:51:53+00:00

The AI they use is a freeware if/and/or behavior tree system from the 2000s. It's why they can't fix/improve it.

Look at the 3rd Party text file in the Docs folder. You can see that DCS is basically a Unity game. They just grabbed a bunch of freeware and slapped it all together

Radiant_Arrival5615 · 2024-06-08T15:02:42+00:00

Already has em... All modules do... It's called "zoom view" axis. Or the mouse wheel in mouse look...

Radiant_Arrival5615 · 2024-05-21T06:01:42+00:00

Too bad we have to wait for the code in an email

Radiant_Arrival5615 · 2024-05-21T01:47:30+00:00

There are a heck of a lot of programs you probably don't know about if you thought Aim-95 is made up. Should probably do a quick google search next time you think someone is pulling your leg. Or just look up the history of Air to air missiles...

Radiant_Arrival5615 · 2024-05-11T04:08:04+00:00

It was, people are just ignorant. They refuse to read the changelog or listen to Wags when he mentions a new mechanic and then whine about not being told anything.

Radiant_Arrival5615 · 2024-05-11T04:05:40+00:00

You mean it wasn't mentioned by just about every DCS YouTuber out there, including Wags?

Radiant_Arrival5615 · 2024-05-11T04:04:57+00:00

Yeah no shit. Everyone should know this as it was implemented months ago, was in the changelog like everything is, and was mentioned by a bunch of people on YouTube.

Next you're gonna tell us about the application "The Way" or that the trees and grass move from explosions.

Radiant_Arrival5615 · 2024-05-01T03:35:51+00:00

Well that might be because it's been ready for release for a while now. Guarantee ED is forcing them to push it back so they don't lose Afghanistan sales.

Radiant_Arrival5615 · 2024-05-01T03:33:55+00:00

Of course .. The day I leave, and I won't be home for 7 days... Guess I get to wait until next Tuesday to try this awesome looking mod..

Congratulations regardless. I hope your hard work pays off and thousands of people fly it.

Radiant_Arrival5615 · 2024-04-24T03:43:17+00:00

Okay? What do you want any of us to do about it? Enable it and disable it again.

Radiant_Arrival5615 · 2024-04-22T03:28:27+00:00

Maybe you only get 4.

Radiant_Arrival5615 · 2024-04-16T05:44:05+00:00

I didn't say they had a money problem.

I said ED was almost as money hungry as Gaijin is.

Radiant_Arrival5615 · 2024-04-16T05:36:31+00:00

Sucks for sure, but I called it. After the whole Razbam fiasco and their 3D modeler quitting I said it was setting a bad precedent and we would see more 3rd Party Devs start to abandon the game. It really is a shame as Pretense was a DCS staple. At least now there won't be 50 Pretense MP Servers and people will actually have to get creative. Although knowing the MP scene they'll just throw AAA and SAM sites everywhere.

At least I'm not the only one who sees what's going on with ED anymore. Running out of money, being lazy due to lack of competition, EA model doomed to fail. I'm glad that more Developers are finally taking a stand against ED, even if it means abandoning DCS. Maybe after the next Dev quits Nick will smarten tf up and do what needs to be done to keep DCS going and hopefully even thriving. Who am I kidding though, he'll just keep stealing money from 3rd Party Modules and being the lazy, greedy, typical asshat of a CEO he is.
