When I say low I don't mean that low, they normally fly over at 10k, this time it was fucking loud but no transponder so I don't know what altitude. I heard a Eurofighter go supersonic about 20 miles from me last year and even that sounded like something blew up.

Pretty much. There is a U-Boat DLC which I think you need if you want the final patch(mostly for modding). It might be on Subsim dot cum, can't remember.
So yeah, it's basically the same outside of the setting.

>>549549436
Oh, and SHIII is better in terms of some of the mechanics. The nips didn't have as good of sonar or radar so its a little easier. Though I think theres more aircraft presence which is just annoying. It's a trade off, you get shittier torpedoes and the computer can be a bitch to use.
SHIV looks nicer and has far better damage models. They're both great games and are dirt cheap. I'd recommend Trigger Maru Overhaul for a mod. I can't remember what it adds but I've been using it for years.

Did a flight with the 727 and still had micro stutters showing 70-80 fps while it runs fine in 2020 though it may be the plane since I did some flying around with the Huey and everything was fine.
It might be fine for vfr short hops in low complex piston planes but even then the outdated bing scenery in my turld world country means I'd be playing basically the same game
I'll give it another try once I install everything locally

>>549644781

It's oil, grease, and soot runoff from the exhaust vents and other hinges. You usually should clean them but that airframe is the one loaned to the RVS for their tests and demo seasons so they don't have the time to clean it with their schedule. I made this up, after a show, M-346s are left to roam the airbase free for a bit to decompress and relax. Often they will start rolling their bellies in the ground and fall asleep like that.

It depends on how severe it is. The frecce tricolori from what I know would immediately cancel a show if they have any sorts of oil pressure issues/leaks etc. Only acceptable malfunction IIRC was with the smoke system that can sometimes stop working during or after some negative Gs manouvres.
The Al Fursans have used their Temu M-346 for the first time recently and one of them had an hydraulic leak (pic rel) but somehow didn't interrupt the show which imho was kinda reckless as when you start losing hydraulic pressure you also lose authority over your actuators/surfaces.

>seasons were only added in farm sim 22
wtf? how can you have a farming simulator without seasons? they made 7 of these games without seasons? are they mad?

>>549767558
They definitely had seasons, where did you hear that?

>>549767665
I am reading on their wiki it is a new feature in 22, and that it was only available as a mod in 17 and 19

>>549767749
You're right, just checked, it is weird thinking about it but the older farming sim games were fucking janky and there wasn't anything else. The one before 22 for me was 2011 and I can't remember much about it.

>>549759402
>>549759659
I think that's all it will really have over MSFS honestly, it sounds like you manage a bush flying company and have reputation etc which is probably more than what 2024's bush flying career stuff is.

Fun fact, in My Summer Car, if you piss in the shower in the wrong place, where the piss hits a certain part of the wall, with the battery charger turned on (which is in the garage behind the shower room/sauna) then the piss clips through the wall and you get electrocuted and die. In this case though I forgot to turn the sauna off and the house burnt down, pissing on the fire didn't help.

>aging flight simmer-only fossils have never played any games that weren't completely sandbox

little things like missions, persistence, maintenance, trading, stuff that adds context and excitement so it isn't just loading into the same boring preplanned flight every time

>>549778208
Just use your imagination, why is that so hard for you little broccoli headed rap listeners?

>>549779303
How about I actually play a well designed game instead of imagining it?

Nobody but the mentally ill wants to fly for 3 hours straight (or longer), so the map is small, each part of the map will offer a unique challenge. Having maintenance and fuel costs and money problems hanging over your head will drive you to do missions that create meaning to your flying, makes you consider which routes to take, builds your connection to your airplane and your sense of presence in the world, a well balanced economy makes you strive to perform better as you progress. Safely landing and completing a mission will give a unique sense of satisfaction when the game presents you with risks.

All of this is gameplay and gamefeel that will never exist in pure sandbox in a shitty bing maps simulator, no matter how much you "imagine" it.

It's the combination of realistic bush flying simulation with proper game design, it will be something greater than the sum of those parts if done right.

I hate boomer dads so god damned much.
"Just use your imagination" Fuck you. You have never played any real video games.

Putting this autistic meltdown aside, during the golden age of flightsims back in the 90s most of them had proper campaigns anyway. Only recently has there really only been sandboxes with careers tacked on as an afterthought if at all.
Both sides of the argument are right. I can sit there and fly around in a sandbox for hours, and on the other hand I want a proper campaigns. Sometimes I just want a career mode. Sometimes I want to do quick drop PVP. Other times I just want to haul cargo.
>Nobody but the mentally ill wants to fly for 3 hours straight
Where do you think we are?

>>549768782
>>549773525
Damage model alone would be enough. Let me rip off a wing or lose the landing gear when attempting to clear that treeline.
If systems are mismanaged they should break, if you miss something broken on preflight it should have consequences.
Weather of any significance, including turbulence, precipitation, and icing, would be an improvement over 2024's "fly through the hurricane" level of detail.
Having to beat that weather to a destination on an actual timetable, be it to deliver people or supplies, would be a leg up over the half-assed career mode in 24 as well.
There's plenty of room for competition in this market segment.

Why do helicopter pilots sit on the right and airplane pilots on the left?

>>549815168
Igor Sikorsky liked to sit on the right.

>>549815168
Probably so that they only had to put one collective in the ancient helis.

>>549815168
The Mi-8 has the pilot on the left, co-pilot right, flight engineer in the middle.
I think most soviet helicopters are like that but I'm not sure.
I don't think there is a solid reason, mostly just theories and myths.
The biggest one is that the Sikorsky R-4(the first mass produced helicopter) had the collective down the center between the pilot and copilot and the pilot operated it with his left hand so he could use the cyclic with his right. Then is just kind of stuck.

Can I learn it in 3 hours a week?

>>549975164
The tutorials are pretty good for most aircraft, plus there are tons of youtube videos to fill in the gaps.
Just stick to one airframe for a while and learn it system by system until you are a real virtual fighter pilot, then it's not that big of a deal to start learning a different module when you start to get bored.
hint: pick a module with plenty of campaigns, either paid or free at https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/

>>549975164
>3 hours a week?
It'd be a slow process. Fortunately we have Chuck's Guide these days for all airframes. When I was learning the A-10C I would just read the guide while taking a shit or when I wasn't really doing anything.
That helped me out a lot.
It really depends on what you want to get out of the game.
Do you want to goof around and blow things up? Sure, it's not that hard. Do you want to actually study and learn to aircraft? That'll take a lot of time.
Avionics, concepts of flight, mission planing, understanding the battlefield, radios, comms, JTAC. There's a lot to learn if you want to get REALLY autistic with it.

>>549976093
The tutorials are so-so but yeah the community has a ton of videos. Pretty much every single thing you can think of has been covered.
