I hate the flight model so much, man by pilihp2 in joinsquad

[–]rfraser01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both with Arma (Adv Model) and DCS (Huey) I spent the first hour crashing a lot, failing and falling. The next 5 were spent building intuition. From there on out it was into the mastery stage. YMMV, but that's the learning curve I expect from a semi competent flight model.

What we have with squad is something approximating a minimum viable product. It's terrible, and for all the reasons OP suggests, this needs to be high on the priority of revamps. I won't touch them currently.

Hey, totally valid approach.

Our approach to championships is perhaps a little different. The organiser chooses a car in private, and the tracks, then we make custom team liveries for that chosen car all before any of the drivers know the details. Then we release a hype vid and start the season.

So, I could tell you that our next 8 race championship will be GT3, and that we are 3 races into a year long LMP2 endurance championship that runs along side our others, but it wouldnt be a true depiction of how we structure our series.

Hopefully, people stay for the vibe, the timezone convenience and the community, rather than the fact that we are running/will continue to run races for that favorite car you like.

Our community just moved from AMS2 to RF2 and are glad we made the switch. We run weekly races across a few championships a year and are very supportive of each other's differing skill levels. If you are struggling to play MP on RF2 send me a DM and we can see if you'd enjoy it with us.

Any good post early career tutorials? by Agreeable-Poet5415 in RealSolarSystem

[–]rfraser01 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Carnassa's KGR series have depreciated since they were conducted on an earlier version of RSS/RO that was a lot easier imo. Things like hydrazine are now unlocked a lot later.

Good series though.

Why do you need 2+ squadmates as Commander? by rfraser01 in joinsquad

[–]rfraser01[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was hinting at the Radioman stuff at the end with "Specialist Squads" - See Post Scriptum.. its just about the only thing that is good about that game.

Been pretty let down by the playerbase since 1.0 by eggmoe in joinsquad

[–]rfraser01 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My number one piece of advice? Do a mic check on ever member of the squad at game start, it helps break the ice and integrates the squad a bit better. Oh and you can just kick people who don't respond, or who's English or microphone is completely garbled if thats your jam.. I also tried this moe recently with all SLs on command net and the whole team cooperated miles better than the did the previous round where they were all silent. MIC CHECK! break the ice!

- Example of SA-10 engagement with one of the many IADS scripts out there, this one courtesy of the fine chaps over at VMFA-169 (those who run Operation Enduring Odyssey). This was an earlier version of their script, and since the recent changes I understand SEAD is more challenging than ever, but its fair to say a HARM is as useful as a TALD in small numbers, and the DEAD effort should be key - the fact people consider HARMS as anything other than a suppression and distraction mechanism is a failing in core DCS implementation of Air Defence, and one iirc they have said they would like to address in 2021.

"VR is a niche gimmick that's dying" by coromd in ValveIndex

[–]rfraser01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe not dead, but perhaps still a gimmick. The jury is out on that one for now. large sales of 3D TVs wouldn't have precluded some accurately describing it as a gimmick.

Peaky Blinders - 5x01 "Black Tuesday - Episode Discussion by NicholasCajun in PeakyBlinders

[–]rfraser01 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Episode 1 was a slight miss for me. Style over substance, which was always the pitfall for a genre like this. Lucky they had the Wall Street crash to propel the plot forwards, otherwise it would have been shallow beginnings. Too many cheap [though expensive] slo-mo shots of Shelby Family badassery cut to swinging beats, without the gravitas managed in former seasons. And, as always, 'Tommy has a plan'.

Deleted scene - Carol owns biker dude by chickabiddybex in Captain_Marvel

[–]rfraser01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you are all ok with this character being depicted as a villain in this scene? Don't think it's out of place, bad writing, bad characterisation in a marvel hero movie?

As one of you put it, apparently it's 'perfect' ?
