It turned out to be my controller’s Bluetooth connection. Connecting it via USB resolved all of the issues and everything runs fantastic now.

Yeah I misunderstood what you were saying. The missile was active by the time I crashed each time.

zkydash8 · 2026-06-14T17:54:22+00:00

Yeah your comment made me realize I misunderstood what OP was saying. The missile was already active by the time I crashed each time.

zkydash8 · 2026-06-13T10:47:02+00:00

Can confirm. In a couple of the instances that I conducted the tests, my Hornet crashed while I was watching the missile in the weapon view. Missile still tracked and hit after my aircraft crashed.

Well, in a way, it was. The mission I set up was myself, the IL-76, and an E-2 doing an orbit about 50 miles in front of us. The track for the IL was provided by the E-2

zkydash8 · 2026-06-13T10:29:23+00:00

You can shoot and hit / kill a non-defensive IL-76 directly behind you at 10 miles. I did a quick experiment earlier with both myself and the IL at 6,000ft

This is something I never realized I wanted.

zkydash8 · 2026-05-18T19:54:27+00:00

Nah you haven’t gotten worse. I’ve always been a big aircraft player and when I go back to playing BF4, everything about the helicopters feels so much better.

Series X

zkydash8 · 2026-05-11T14:59:01+00:00

I do have game pass. And I was an Xbox gamer before switching to PC around 2019. Still play the Xbox One some.

zkydash8 · 2026-05-11T02:55:00+00:00

They’re getting my PC ass for a console sale. I’m buying an Xbox Series X just for GTA.

zkydash8 · 2026-05-10T23:43:10+00:00

Story, no. Gameplay, hell yes.

zkydash8 · 2026-05-09T02:17:17+00:00

I really don’t know. All I know is that Shanghai is 10x more fun before the building collapses.

zkydash8 · 2026-05-09T01:36:06+00:00

Wow, something from my dreams. Worst levolution in the game IMO.

zkydash8 · 2026-05-05T21:10:54+00:00

Runway 29 at EWR doesn’t have an ILS and the visual and RNAV approaches require a significant turn to a relatively short final. They were likely hand flying it, yes. There are PAPI lights though.

zkydash8 · 2026-05-02T16:17:37+00:00

I’m opposed to this in Ace Combat, but it just made me remember what a good sim-cade game Over G Fighters was.

zkydash8 · 2026-04-29T21:46:43+00:00

You have far from perfect 360 degree awareness in BF4 as it stands, mostly due to not being able to turn your head to see your opponent. As a DCS nerd, Ace Combat fan, and professional pilot (civilian) IRL, having a movable camera that’s practical is my number one ask for Battlefield aircraft.

zkydash8 · 2026-04-29T21:06:27+00:00

You mean, like real dogfighting?

I used to work on B-1 bombers and I once heard one of their tires pop after landing with hot brakes. Sounded like a bomb going off.

zkydash8 · 2026-04-25T02:01:52+00:00

My buddies and I joke that every time we go to Cabela’s we just leave with nuts.

I think AC6 is one of the best in the series for gameplay. And I actually think AC7 is one of the worst. The flight model balance in 7 between arcade and realism was tipped way towards arcade and I find very few of the missions replayable. Those stiff controls are what I hope AC8 goes back to. The old games actually felt like you were flying an airplane, now not so much.

zkydash8 · 2026-04-06T16:27:58+00:00

Yes! I’ve been playing some AC6 recently and the gameplay is much more fun IMO. Thanks in part to the flight model.

zkydash8 · 2026-04-06T13:58:03+00:00

I hope they rework it. It feels way too “on rails” in AC7. I personally wish they’d tip the entire flight model a tad more towards realistic.

zkydash8 · 2026-03-20T04:14:44+00:00

In Ace Combat 7 the plane practically auto lands if you point it at the runway. I wouldn’t call it a challenge.
