Eye/head control plus VAICOM pro makes LGBs in the Tomcat super effective.

I bet, I managed to get him to lock (and blow) up a building using trackir, was a lot of fun.
Playing around with some new and old.
Ouch.
Well. Maybe it was not such a good idea to go full Collective in a split second.
Thank god for the airbags!
I had hoped that this Babe would have kept her paintjob, but she has been stripped as she is being donated to Ukraine.
Happy Simming

really satisfying. now practicing with ‘Bankler’s Case 1 Recovery Trainer’, so far only one successful landing out of (too) many but slowly getting better.

Got tired of crashing into the boat so tried out the Syria instant action mission “with inherent resolve”. Actually more like a single mission than instant, was fun but really challenging.
Tasked with taking out three buildings with pairs of dumb bombs. Tricky since once you pop up for delivery fighters get scrambled, you still have to reattack twice after dropping the first pair knowing they’re on the way. You’re advised to anchor your wingman (loaded with air to air) before the pop up point and set him loose when needed.
First try ended up with me ignoring the fighters for too long and getting blasted, second try I settled for two buildings then tried to help out my wingman. Sadly for him, I’m not proficient enough with air to air yet to do anything but turn circles in the sky and get lost in Jester menus. Turned tail and headed for the coast after wingy bit the dust.
Here we are coming in feet dry
Diving in for the first drop
feet wet, alone
edit - late to the party with this also, but the Syria map is nice! Gotta be one of the best maps in dcs I think. Been playing with wwII stuff for a while so never had much cause to fly around on it.

Hey thanks! Makes me wonder how many other ‘instant’ missions are more single mission-ish.
Another good thing about coming late to the party (for a popular plane at least) is there are tons missions of and campaigns around, lots to look forward to.

Experimenting with color grading but overdid a couple. Sky color banding drives me nuts because it looks fine in GIMP then looks like trash after exporting.

Colour grading looks great to me! Not much you can do about compressed jpeg srgb export… there’s just no information in the blue part of the spectrum.
Hmmm. I wonder if webp supports more complete colour spaces?
Edit: it’s colour model seems similar to jpeg, so no it probably doesn’t

I was hoping png would have better quality, and perhaps it does, but not enough to deal with banding.
Also on the resolution, that’s not the only thing making them crisp. The SSLA makes things look a lot sharper for me than MSAA ever did in 2D.

There’s different (maybe more pleasing) compression artifacts (depending on settings), but the colour model/space problem severely limiting the blue part of the spectrum that can be displayed remains a problem IIRC…

I feel a bit bad because I asked this so many times - I might be asking you again for like the third time? but… what’s your system? Do you manage to get good framerate with this graphic?
