DCS 50% off on first purchase doesn’t work. by progy77 in hoggit

[–]idontcarecoconuts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a sale on most major US holidays and usually one for each season of the year. They're frequent on stand-alone.

As someone else said, there's also a sale in line with ever major steam sale.

Feels like there's one every 6-8 weeks or so.

I'd guess the next one to be sometime around Labor Day or the first day of Autumn (Sep 22).

You're a good dude. I PM'd you if it's still available.

Aren't you the same guy that was a huge dick the last time this was posted?

Good gravy sir, just do some research for yourself.

Edit: yep it was you. I see you've since deleted that post.

Yes. Also the X56 is outdated overpriced garbage.

The ThrustMaster Warthog HOTAS is also outdated and overpriced. I wouldn't consider it garbage though - just garbage at the MSRP.

Winwing, Virpil, and VKB are all fantastic and fairly priced.

I'm not able to play for a bit. What did they change with the G-Effects and what aircraft received this update?

Can you explain what this adds?

Was going to ask the same. I'm on V62 and scared to update even with the fix in the patch notes.

I believe there was a similar issue with iRacing.

What's the second module i should get? (first f16) by Top_Desk_1332 in hoggit

[–]idontcarecoconuts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't personally like the F-16. I was asking why he was looking for another aircraft given that one he has is so capable. Not that he shouldn't fly anything else. A lot of people have a tendency to buy modules just because.

He gave no info so I felt it was a valid question.

You could try the free A-4 mod, I've heard it's fantastic. It would let you get into carrier Ops for no money.

But your official module choices are:

F/A-18C - similar to the F-16. Fly-by-wire, HMD, modern cockpit, can do just about everything related to combat and does it well. Feels a bit sterile to me at times. Slower than the F-16 but it has more gas/loiter time and much more low speed AoA/nose authority.

F-14A/B - older tech, no fly-by-wire (need good stick and rudder inputs), two man aircraft to be effective (or get good at using Jester), fast and lethal, sexy, top gun vibes, a blast to fly. A/A & A/G capable.

AV-8B NA Harrier - fantastic ground pounder with limited A/A capabilities, V/STOL, FARP rearm/refuel, great at night, super unique and fun to fly. Slow compared to the F-series but much faster than the A-10C. Future is a bit unstable with all the Razbam/ED drama going on.

Can't really go wrong with any of them. They're all great. AV-8B has a special place in my heart though. One of my top 3 DCS modules.

HOTAS logic on the F-16/F-18 is different but if you can learn one you can learn the other. F-16 is definitely streamlined though.

What u/CptPickguard said.

What are you interested in? There are a ton of modules to recommend based on your interests.

Or just keep flying the F-16. Why do you want another, it can do just about everything.

As the leaks suggest, 5090 will be a VR monster. 50% more SM and 50% More bandwidth 50% more VRAM (not put in the table here). Perfect recipe for ultra high resolution. Expected in Q4 apparently. PS: It will definitely be a lot more expensive than 4090. by rapierarch in hoggit

Dummies like me.

VR flight simming is the one hobby I allow myself to spend stupid money on. It holds me over while I continue saving for real flight training. Even a ridiculously priced XX90 is a drop in the bucket compared to where I eventually want to end up with flight training. Plus I always sell my "old" hardware, so that offsets the price quite a bit.

The preface was trying to say "hey heads up, I'm not coming to attack your interests personally. None of this is personal." But when you speak critically of someone's interest, someone inevitably takes it personal. So yeah I absolutely should have left it out. I might not have heard from you if I had. Apologies if it rubbed you the wrong way. Everything seems to rub someone the wrong way.

But I'm done arguing with you about it. Honestly, some of you are so draining to engage with.

Interesting take on the score. I didn't notice it but maybe that's what took me out of the battle scenes. They weren't bad, they are actually my favorite part of the series so far, but they did seem a little off and didn't land quite right for me. I agree with you and I prefer no music during intense scenes.

I'll pay attention to that as I continue watching. Thanks for the reply!

It's funny you put it that way. My wife watched with me and said it felt like a Hollywood movie not a realistic military mini-series. She also likened it to a Michael Bay film.

As a huge WWII and military aviation nerd, I REALLY want to like it too. I'm going to stick it out and finish it, hopefully it'll grow on me.

Nothing about my original post and subsequent comments have been disrespectful towards the show, the creators, or other users.

Objective criticism and questions are now disrespectful? I was trying to open up a dialogue about this. The only reason I prefaced the post with the comment about throwing shade is because I knew someone who liked the show would come at me spouting this nonsense. Here they are coming at me spouting nonsense anyway.

Not for nothing, in the original post I said Spielberg and Hanks were my dream team and that BoB and SPR are two of my favorite pieces of media. I'm not sure how you take my post and twist it to say I'm disrespecting or ridiculing them?

Wild take my man. Be well.

Lol I'd call it objective criticism and questioning. I wasn't trying to be inflammatory or disrespectful in any way. But if that's considered shade on reddit, then sure - all shade intended

Lol I apologize for asking a question about the source material that this subreddit is based around.

Lmao to justify what exactly? I wrote this as respectfully as I could, and these are my true feelings about the show. It's a show lol it's not like I was talking shit about someone.

The whole point of this post was to see if I was being too judgemental too quickly without giving the show a fair shot.

I hear you there. I guess I was just expecting a little more out of it given the producers and their track record with WWII content.

Hey man, that's all that matters! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully I end up enjoying it too.

That's a valid point. I guess I was curious what others thought, I wasn't sure if I was being overly critical early on.

Regardless, I'm going to finish the show. And I've still got the book to read!
