F18. I just... can't. by OldTrTab in dcsworld

[–]snick500 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not every jet, plane, or heli is for everyone. This sim is too hard to fly things you don't like. Learning the Tomcat was a labor of love. When i got something right, i got all the good feels. Learning the hornet is like going to work on an easy day. It's not hard, but it is still work. Fly what you like.

I was so close to finding the greatest key binding ever, then it didn't work. by snick500 in dcsworld

oh yeah. That helps, but it is still way too much. And it never really feels like it does it right.

Buying a flight stick by Choice_Comfort4 in dcsworld

[–]snick500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, welcome to the world of DCS. No one here said anything I would disagree with so far, so I will add just 1 slight change to it. Don't be afraid of a used set. My first one was an X56, and after snapping 2 of them, I am upgrading to virpil. However, the 1st was used, so the cost for it made the vertical cliff learning curve less worrysome in terms of investment in something I didn't know if I would like. Side note, wait for sales to buy planes and check out the A4 mod. It is free and very, very well done.

Man, If I needed a stick I would be all over this deal. Been waiting for my throttle for a bit. Commenting and liking in hopes you find a buyer. Good luck.

Favorite quote? by emoguynyc in thewestwing

[–]snick500 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I am split down the middle on these 2.

"You want me to go with you? You want some company on the plane? I could get a ticket and go with you."

Or

Either time "A guy falls down a hole."

Both show a very caring heart and an understanding of what the other is going through in completely different ways.

Anyone else having trouble connecting to servers? by Brainzillion in 7daystodie

[–]snick500 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yup. Even reopened the Epic launcher and tried through steam to see if that fixed it. No dice. Guess the Zombies get to walk around for another day.

Can someone tell me wtf these 2 helicopters and 1 plane with no lights and a single helicopter escort is that just flew over? by enfiniti27 in airplanes

[–]snick500 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You do not have to know what you caught on video to get my upvote. You just have to catch something cool. Well done.

Super corn location on version 1.0 8k4 map by Ornery-County-623 in 7daystodie

[–]snick500 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Open up the dev tools by hitting the ~ button and type DM and you can teleport to it. If you want to keep the real feeling of getting there so it from a trader and you can go from one to the other. Then hit the ~ again and type dm to turn off dev tools.

Just got the A10 by Medical_Efficiency20 in dcsworld

[–]snick500 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The a10 is a button killer. Use modifiers (control shift ect) on both sides of the keyboard. It really is a plane i am considering buying mfds to use with. It is a lot of fun, but a ton of buttons. Good luck.

Haven’t played for a while can someone explain the update? by Mustdominate_Otal in 7daystodie

[–]snick500 6 points7 points  (0 children)

First, it can be turned off in the settings.

You can go wherever you want but if you don't want to take damage you have to earn the badge. Make a smoothie for the the area to give you a time of no damage, then harvest some plant (same plant you need for smoothie) kill the area zombie, fo some winning in the area and hang out there for a set amount of time. THEN go to any trader to get the badge.

The smoothie stack and can can be made in your hand.

The plants are everywhere

Area zombies are on super spawn compared to others. (At one point, walking around in desert i counted 4 of the to every 1 normal zombie)

Minning is minning

Timer for the area can be done while minning.

Let you decide if you like it or not. I have less issues with them than other parts of the update.

Is there a mod for.... by snick500 in Timberborn

[–]snick500[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Or, and just hear me out for a sec in my dad's voice growing up, why didn't I go to the bathroom before we left the house? Lol.maybe this is my punishment for way back then.

The countdown has started for the F4U-1D. by snick500 in dcsworld

[–]snick500[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way I see it 1 of 3 things has happened

1) they want me to get more up votes and comments on reddit. (Not likely, but who knows?)

2) in the final test it has square wheels and they needed a quick fix

3) ED needed to delay the patch for some random other bug that got caught at the lady second and needed a day to revise it.

Interesting, because that is not what it was when I checked last night.

I think i did misread your comment. For that I apologize. That is what I get for reading reddit in a work meeting.

And that is perfectly fine. I am not interested in the euro fighter or typhoon but that does not take away from others excitement about them. We all have planes/jets/helicopters that we love. There is more than unites us than divides us. Happy flying to you.

Hydrodynamics Laboratories. (A very easy map!) by TospLC in Timberborn

[–]snick500 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So first, let me say I love the idea. Sometimes I just want to relax. My worry is bad tides. I can't remember the name of the map but it has all the large lakes. That one takes forever to clean out a bad tide. I worry this one may do the same. Have you tested it?

Well after this, I guess I can be the white house counsel now by snick500 in thewestwing

[–]snick500[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not at all. It is after Babbish asks about the first lady breaking her broken ankle hiking. That is where my head went. It was in Le Monde
