Quote:

Ogden, Utah's Standard-Examiner newspaper broke the news that officials in the country of Georgia had arrested Tishchenko earlier this year and extradited him to the United States. American authorities arraigned him in the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah in Salt Lake City on March 15, 2019.

Nearly four weeks later, U.S. Magistrate Brooke Wells signed a detention order declaring him to be a flight risk and he's been in the Weber County Jail ever since. The 42-year old programmer has pled not guilty and his trial is scheduled to begin on Aug. 19, 2019.

>Jailed for making a flight-sim TOO realistic

>>16506979

Can we get a based Muslim to bomb Salt Lake City if they charge him and refuse to send him back? A dirty bomb in Utah would send a real message…just sayin'.

X-Plane or FSX?

>>16507037

I can get it for you, anon. In the meantime, have Jane's Fighters Anthology to keep occupied.

Here's F/A-18 plus patch 1.01.

>>16524365

Logitech and Thrustmaster are generally good at all price points, I don't know of any standout sticks it the affordable bracket.

>>16524365

I use a logitech that I got for 20$ a while back. It works pretty well I have to say.

I just flew from Tucson to Las Vegas in real time, and managed to fuck up the landing. 1 hour and 30 something minutes of my life, wasted and gone forever.

>>16527842

How did you fuck up? Approach speed? Flaps? Angle of attack?

>>16527869

I was flying IFR and ATC told me to descend a little too late, so I touched down about halfway down the runway. This was after the faggots were trying to get me to fly into mountains when I was nearing Vegas.

>>16527842

>>16527904

>trusting ATC

You're flying a plane anon, just wing it.

>>16527904

So the fuck didn't you just go around and do another landing after seeing that you were clearly past the touchdown zone…? I mean, that's what would have happened in reality, which is kinda the point to emulate.

Also, that didn't really answer the question. After you landed, did you overrun the runway and crash into the tower to get back at those ATC retards?

Why the fuck does every shitty little mod cost money?

>>16537041

>implying I haven't already checked those 100 times

Looking for mods like FSpassenger

Well this thread fucking died.

>>16547495

This board is too low IQ to enjoy actual flight sims

>>16548098

not a flight sim

>>16548120

but I can tear everything apart with 20mm at 3900 rounds per minute

>>16550097

>not even the PC version of simpleplanes

Mobile shit. Not a flight sim.

>>16548192

>builld and fly airplanes & helicopters

>not a flight sim

>>16550462

Just because you fly a plane doesn't make it an sim. Simpleplanes is literally just a shitty KSP.

>>16550097

I guess Ace Combat must be a flight simulator too.

>>16550690

>>16550684

SimplePlanes is a flight sim, albeit a very simple one. Lift, drag, mass, and thrust are all taken into account for each plane and each part. Meanwhile Ace Combt has a simple flight mofel

>>16550747

Are your plane's electrical systems simulated?

>>16520707

I despise airforceproud95. Watch just a couple of flight simulator related videos and get an onslaught of his totally epic FSX meme videos in my recommended.

>>16550771

because i always wanted to fly. all my life i thought i wanted to fly prop aircraft, but i got to go to a flight museum a few years ago and for some reason they had a legit Huey simulator cockpit set up. flipping those switches, pulling that trigger and hearing the turbine spin up while the rotors got louder and louder made me diamond fucking hard, and when the tour guide guy told me "helicopters in general and this helicopter in particular is doing everything in its power to kill you with every quarter rotation of its blades. this is why helicopter pilots may not fly more than eight hours a day under federal law: because it's the hardest kind of flying there is" i knew that i had just discovered my reason for existence. sage for gay blogpost

NEW FUCKING MSFS

>>16564177

Will it have the twin towers though?

>>16550771

My oldest uncle came over from Europe to visit for a few weeks when I was a little shit (like 7 or 8, can't remember exactly) and introduced them to me. He was a total computer geek and had brought over a bunch of his own software to fuck around with in lieu of books or watching TV or whatever. Given what I can remember and looking at pictures of how the cockpit displayed in subsequent versions, I'm pretty sure it was MS Flight Simulator 4.0, which even then (mid 90's) would have been dated, but maybe that's just what he had.

Anyway, he was one of the only people in my family who really recognized how gifted I was. Not too many people would hand a goddamn third-grader a flight simulator and expect them to be able to manage anything. After finding an old instruction manual at a garage sale (albeit for a different version) I even figured out how to navigate with VOR stations and use the ILS properly rather than just (lol) winging it on landings and trying to dead-reckoning myself to random airports whenever I could see them.

For the most part I just did short flights around wherever, but sometimes I got more ambitious. Once I decided I was going to load up a jumbo jet and fly literally across the fucking Atlantic from New York to London. Granted, a lot of this time I just left the thing running AFK because I hated messing with the game speed (on principal, probably because of autism) and came back later. But here's the rub: the version I was playing didn't have ANYTHING simulated outside of the USA except for the land and water (and even then only sorta). So when I attempted to land in England, there was NOTHING AT ALL but empty grey and perfectly flat land; no buildings, no roads, no airport of any kind. I remember being highly annoyed that I took hours to make the effort and got nothing, but in retrospect that's existentially terrifying in a very Stephen King's: The Langoliers sort of way.

>>16570589

Absolutely based. Time compression kills immersion like nothing else.

>>16564274

Literally no one cares. it's going to be casualized garbage and actual flight Sim enthusiasts will continue playing X-Plane or p3d. They're probably going to release it for Xbox too.

>>16582424

nigger can you not printscreen? You can pause the damn game you know

>>16582528

My Wi-Fi dongle is having issues right now that I can't resolve. Pls no bully.

>>16582424

In FSX it shouldn't matter man, as long as you're not over speeding it won't make much of a difference, it's FSX man, games kind of old

>>16582424

I don't really have a good answer. Depending what you're flying, there's probably a (real world) manual somewhere that gives you that kind of information. I have to imagine real pilots have some kind of chart/calculator that takes into account flight level, temperature, wind shear, etc.. But for me, I just found a tutorial of sorts that gave me the numbers, and based it off of that. Really, as long as you're running things efficiently with regard to fuel consumption and engine torque, the airspeed will sort itself out and vary due to conditions.

>>16570589

>My oldest uncle

Uncles are like that, one of mine is bullying me for using a flightstick rather than what he uses for model planes (separate Pitch and Roll controls). Still, probably wouldn't have played Microsoft Flight sim as a middle schooler if it had not been for him. Gotta respect the old men.

>>16595846

If you dont keep playing, say you give the game a break for a month, you'll be at retard level again.

T. Real aspie.

>>16589065

>separate Pitch and Roll controls

I'm trying to think of a real airplane controlling with two separate sticks, one that does pitch and the other that does roll, and it's seriously fucking with my head. Model airplanes are like this just because they use RC car controllers that tend to have unidirectional control sticks.

What's the best VR headset for under 400 USD for flight sims. I keep getting my ass kicked in IL2 because I can't track and fly at the same time with just a hat switch or mouselook. I was thinking of the Lenovo Explorer, potentially.

No one has commented on the E3 announcement of the new and improved flight sim? I mean, we'll probably all just pirate it, but still shouldn't the improved quality be a talking point?

>>16599020

Anon, it's [current year] Microsoft. It'll be bad for one of three reasons

>It's developed by inept developers

>it's casualized to shit

>or both

Did anyone catch details on the new Microdick Flight Sim? About all I caught was a load of 4K bullshit trying to prop up the XBone.

>>16599052

It'll always be online too.

>>16599052

I'm expecting it to be a skeleton but for DLC planes and terrain.

>>16599099

That seems about a given but nice digits to go along with it.

>>16599084

I don't think the Xbone is going to be able to support that, it's most likely just Micro$hit trying to spread awareness for it, probably be PC exclusive

>>16598983

TrackIR or some other kind of headtracking.

>>16599619

What I caught did all seem vague anyway, I think they were mainly pimping around their game pass thing.

>>16599969

What an odd one to only have. I played the Atari ST version, I thought it was kind of impressive it ran on the thing even if it was a slideshow.

I wouldn't mind trying flight sim x again or getting the new one. Especially once I get a HOTAS set up. Only flight game I've put a lot of hours into is War Thunder (spare me, I've enjoyed it for the most part). Wouldn't mind giving DCS a try again or even IL-2.

>>16599750

Well Xbone is from Micro$hit so where else would they have presented it?

>>16600083

>Only flight game I've put a lot of hours into is War Thunder

I honestly only had fun in that game through EC sim mode so idk what you're embarrassed about. It's obviously not a "proper sim" but it's for me the perfect balance of reeelism and gameplay, what drove me away from it was just the scummy devs, retarded playerbase and the glaringly obvious soviet bias. It's so tragic because there's a good game hidden beneath all the bullshit.

>>16601059

yeah after a while the only buzz that gets you is combat flight sims so enjoy it while you can. For me it went Commercial flights, cargo destinations mod, helicopters then finally just switching to IL-2 CloD. FSX is a great base to learn how to fly well though, you learn combat by doing.

>>16601162

Thankfully right now most bias is German. Germany for tanks does pretty well as long as you're not a retard and their top tier tanks are roflstomping. Once you get BF109s you're also a god as long as you can use basic maneuvering. They fly like UFOs. War Thunders main problem right now I think is that the flight models and damage models still aren't where they should be and in Sim mode the flight models arent as accurate as say IL-2s.

>>16601162

>yeah after a while the only buzz that gets you is combat flight sims so enjoy it while you can

How do you know I won't be one of those autists who spends thousands of dollars on peripherals and payware aircraft?

FlightGear and MS FSX, rarely, then GPU died, fuck nvidia, fuck AMD (CPU div excluded), fuck miners, fuck Intel.

>>16536109

Is that DC-3 over Tibet?

>>16612486

Nevada, I tried flying to Area 51 to see if anything was there in FS9. Just blank desert.

>>16601167

>Germany for tanks does pretty well as long as you're not a retard and their top tier tanks are roflstomping.

>Maus fights cold war ATGM tanks

>all russian ATGM tanks have the point and click style of missile, while the germans have the type where you have to precision guide the missile with the fucking arrow keys

>leo1's L7 gun can't penetrate the upper glacis of a t-54 at 500 meters, the thing it was designed for this is because the developers made the L7 gun use early war bootleg early war APDS shells, so they lose all penetration power against armor angled at 61°, while the T-54's upper glacis is at 60° by default

>the drama where Russian 100mm shells had double the one shot kill potential of the German 128mm shells

>1941 model Tiger 1 fights IS-2 mod. 44s

>panther has a 3 km/h reverse speed

>the long standing issue with the IS-2 where it was fucking invincible if you drove backwards because the engine would just swallow up shells

I can't remember anything else off the top of my head, but this is more than enough.

>>16599631

I don't have multiple monitors and headtracking is gay.

>>16614654

8.7+ is all Germany. Maus is a waste of time and shouldn't even be in the game. Tiger 1 does fine for me. Every nation has ATGM launchers including Germany.

>>16632673

I remember first playing flight sims, landing was the worst for me, for some reason I could never get it down and always fucked it up by now it's a walk in the park and one of the more satisfying parts, no idea why

For someone who never played one and wants to get into it, where should I start? I would have to play on keyboard/mouse.

>>16633351

Microsoft Flight Simulator, logitech 3d pro for $30 if you want a stick

>>16633355

>logitech 3d pro

Thing cost half of my salary in the third world country I live in, however I'm thankful for the reply.

>>16633351

>>16633381

No one's that poor. Either way this is FSX so yeah you can actually fly perfectly with a keyboard and mouse in it, do it all the time

>>16633405

lol holy jesus what the fuck? You can find these things for free at salvation armies sometimes here

>>16633405

Jesus christ, are you in a banned country? Can I send you a care package?

>>16633405

>>16633410

I have one of these collecting dust under my desk

>>16633408

>>16633410

Welcome to Brazil. Is important to say that minimum wage here is around R$1k, but after taxes you only get paid, like, R$800~900, so is nearly impossible to buy those kind of products. You have to save for a long time.

You guys who live in first world countries are really luck, you guys have no idea.

>>16633414

Please, send help.

>>16633429

How many people die in your vicinity every year

>>16633443

Last year was 54,4 per 100k habitants (I don't know if that makes sense to you, but that is how the gov keep tabs of those kinds of statistics here, it means that for each 100k people in my city, 54,4 died in a violent way last year). My city has 168k people living here, so I think is safe to say that 55 people were murdered.

>>16633472

I didn't mean stats I meant deaths you're aware of happening around you. I assume all of Brazil is either rainforest or favela

>>16633506

>>16633506

>I assume all of Brazil is either rainforest or favela

Good part of it, but we do have some big cities here and there.

Anyway, around me I would say 5 to 10. I'm including things like my father coming home and saying "they killed someone in a robbery near where your grandmother lives".

>>16633429

Wait a minute, are you saying that your annual salary is around $300?

>>16633672

I would assume monthly, because literally nobody can live on ~$1 per day unless they're in a shack in the middle of Africa or something. This guy has enough food and security to have time to wonder about games, internet access, a computer that can run FSX, and he went to a good enough school where he learned fluent English.

Absolute wage is pointless to use as a metric because cost-of-living is everything. Even inside the same country, you can make ten times as much as someone else and still be barely scraping by. If I made $300 a month I couldn't even afford HALF of my RENT PAYMENT, to say nothing of food or games. I'd be living out of my truck and wouldn't even have a computer, much less internet. Going to go out on a limb and assume this guy is much better off than that.

Is there any flying game where you do cargo runs with different loads to different areas? Something more like Elite:Dangerous but instead of being a space trucker you're a cargo pilot or passenger pilot, maybe in the Adriatic Sea before WW2, the Alaskan Bush, or something like that?

>>16633745

Well there's cargo mods and career mods for FSX but they're all (((paid))) mods for some reason and I've had a shit time trying to find cracked versions

>>16633745

FSX/P3D with Air Hauler 2.

>>16633749

>Well there's cargo mods and career mods for FSX but they're all (((paid))) mods for some reason

>complaining about having to pay for a product

>>16633753

Yeah this ain't 4chan faggot

>>16633732

See >>16633732, that is my monthly payment. Over here we don't use annual salary, I forgot to point that out. I was able to learn english by myself, though, schools here are terrible and can't teach you shit.

Going back to the thread, I got FSX from FitGirlRepack, however I'm unable to launch the game. SteamEmulator accuses a wrong path for the executable, even though is right.

Any help? Found other people with the problem through google but no solution.

>>16633753

>paying for video games

Where the fuck do you think you are? Go back to tumblr.

>>16635041

>t. has never used a high quality payware plane

If you experienced the care and detail put into them, you would feel justified in paying for it.

>>16635063

You're talking to the type of people who live on fixed disability incomes

>>16633732

>Absolute wage is pointless to use as a metric because cost-of-living is everything.

Yeah this.

I lol'd and then almost went catatonic when I saw one thread on /pol/ where they concluded that a human being's worth should be calculated from the amount of money your parents have spent on you until were 18 years old plus all the money you've collected each year since. So yeah, according to that a nigger in the US collecting welfare and nothing else is worth more than a surgeon in Eastern Europe, not to mention your parents spending money on you doesn't mean shit, you could be a tard who was just given a lot of toys. For a bunch of guys who attack Jewish capitalism they sure can't think in any other system.

>>16636719

Logitech was good back then though. The G27 was the best entry level steering wheel.

Are you guys hyped for the new Flight Simulator announced at E3?

>>16636938

For the thousandth time NO.

>>16636980

You don't speak for everyone else

>>16636982

Yeah he does. We voted on it last week.

>>16637016

>hurrrr pretty graphics mean simulator good!

Reminder that you haven't actually seen any gameplay yet. The fact that it's being released for Xbox is a good indicator of what realism it will offer.

>>16637038

MSFS was never that realistic, especially nowadays where Prepar3d and X-plane far exceed it. It doesn't change the fact that it's still something better then 99% of every other pile of indie shit fag games that got announced. Anyone who hates improving on graphics is top-tier retard or a console fag, it's what we should be doing more of not less

>>16637063

>Anyone who hates improving on graphics is top-tier retard

I don't hate good graphics, retard. Where did I imply that? I was just saying that it's literally all you know about nu-MSFS, that it looks pretty.

>>16637038

>The fact that it's being released for Xbox is a good indicator of what realism it will offer.

There is no market for pseudo-simulation as Microsoft Flight demonstrated. They can't possibly be dumb enough to fuck it up by casualization.

>>16637184

>There is no market for pseudo-simulation

There sort of is, but it's already been monopolized by greedy slavs.

>>16637096

You implied it was being released for shitbox which isn't true, Micro$hit was publishing PC games before the shitbox in case you forgot, and shitbox wouldn't be able to run it

>>16637348

Hey anon, did you know that some people enjoy different things? I enjoy flying general aviation, and you enjoy great war dogfighting. Sometimes people have different tastes in what they find entertaining, and that's okay!

>>16637354

What a nerd, enjoying things.

>>16637325

I never saw that in the trailer faggot so suck my nuts, if you hate flight sims then go somewhere else

>>16637410

Well it's right here you stupid faggot. Flight sims are actually my favorite genre, which is why I will be particularly disgusted when MSFS is ran into the ground for the "gamer" audience. Kill yourself.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReDDgFfWlS4

What are some interesting flights I could do in the Baron/Grand Caravan? Please don't just say "take off/land in hurricane conditions" or something along those lines. Some fun general aviation stuff you've done, maybe?

I practice flying into tall buildings

>>16638265

What are you, Saudi?

>>16637588

Nothing is run into the ground you flaming faggot go kys and play something else then

>>16639345

>Nothing is run into the ground

We haven't even seen any gameplay yet, you have no way of knowing. I however have reason to believe that it's going to be more casual than the others in the MSFS series, because it's being released for Xbox.

>>16639848

MSFS has been "casual" since 2004

>>16639877

You mean 2002, since FS2004 is just 2002 with shinier graphics and a couple more features. Not that you've actually played any MSFS though, you're just talking out of your ass.

>>16639983

Man that's real fucking rich coming from a fucking retarded nigger shilling payware fucking planes and then shitting all over a new flight sim for no fucking reason like some sperg

>>16639992

>fucking retarded nigger shilling payware fucking planes

What, are you saying you only fly the barebones default aircraft? What a hardcore sim fan you are.

>>16639992

>for no fucking reason

I clearly outlined my reasoning multiple times. You're the retarded nigger for either ignoring me or being too stupid to notice.

>>16640004

>>16640006

>actually defending (((payware)))

>Replying twice in two separate posts for some reason

Nigger earlier you're fucking asking about shit to do in FSX while at the same time saying it's casual shit so what the fuck are you even on about?

>>16640014

>while at the same time saying it's casual shit

Yeah, the new MSFS. The one being released for Xbox alongside PC. You really do have nigger-tier reading comprehension. Think before you post.

>>16523378

this

>>16550893

are helicopters really that hardcore? sounds fuckin sick

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gb3jBIgMV04&t=3s

>>16640242

Helicopters are completely different from airplanes. An airplane will basically fly itself if you point it forward and maintain the correct airspeed, while a helicopter requires constant nonstop adjustments by the pilot. You not only have rudder pedals and a yoke like an airplane, but an additional lever off to one side, so both of your hands are occupied a lot of the time.

>>16642698

What does the lever do?

>>16642829

pitch angle and throttle

>>16642829

Long story short, the way you control how a helicopter moves is primarily by titling the main rotor blades. What the center stick does is cyclically (hence it being called the cyclic) tilt each rotor blade as it reaches the same position of the rotation, making the craft pitch forward or back, or yaw to the left or right. If trying to figure out just how the fuck it can be able to do that while the rotors are spinning as ungodly speeds hurts your brain, you have a better appreciation about why helicopters took so much longer to invent than airplanes. The lever collectively tilts all the rotor blades (hence it being called the collective). There's also usually a twist-throttle on the end of the collective, which makes the rotor blades spin faster or slower. Depending on how you want to move or how thick the air is will determine the correct throttle setting and how you want to rotor blades collectively pitched, just like how airplane propeller blades need to be properly pitched depending on airspeed and altitude.

>>16524357

>Not using the F-14

The plane is so much fun it's criminal. Just watch it, it's a TOTALLY different beast. No flight assist, no fly-by-wire, the inputs are analogue, so no computer will dial down the input if it goes into dangerous range. You can make manouverse that will rip your own wings off if you're not carefull. Upside is that you can do some crazy stuff on manual (like afterburn only one engine to increase your turn)

This guy >>16537041 knows what's up

Crazy.

Looks like the F-14 can take off with swept wings.. and can take off without a catapult!

>>16645928

that's mental, i gotta fly one of these babies

>>16645928

Are you that anon that actually flies a helicopter and shitposts from it?

>>16646928

>Shitposting while flying a helicopter

Yes, I taped my phone to the front of the cyclic and type with my dick because I don't have any unoccupied hands. You wouldn't believe how strong my kegels are.
