I tried gaming on a 10 year old i5 + 1060/6. It gave 60+ fps on max settings at 1080p. In air battles I could even set it to 2560x1440. Without SSAA4 of course.
So, such PC can be built for $200 without a monitor from used parts. And then you can also upgrade it.
I never understood buying a laptop for gaming.
I don’t see anyone in this reply thread bothering to make the distinction and would be all too happy to remove it from the aircraft that historically flew open cockpit all the time.
Gun sounds are universal, the only thing you can do is change your engine sound and everyone else’s engine. Your teammates will be just as noisy as the enemies, and still lower volume than your own engine.
Now imagine a sound mod with different sounds for friendly or foe (not copy vehicles of course) and even louder
That’s a sound mod, not settings available to every user. Also AFAIK gaijin usually bans those if they do anything like increasing the sound of enemies and reducing it for friendlies.
I remember there was an exploit when the sound of a missile launch was made loud or special, I don’t know. But those who used that mod simply released countermeasures when they heard it.
I just didn’t understand how they could see that I was launching a missile at them from a blind spot. And seems they just used special changed launch sound. I don’t know if it’s 100% true, but I’ve read about it on forum.
I insist all of these mods can be used in arcade modes with markers, but not in sim.
What I’ve heard from some in the sim community is that they had a second account sitting in spectator view of their own plane. Speed of sound is forced in Sim so I don’t think that’s it unless gaijin’s implementation of it is completely borked.
And if it were a Mig-21 or Mig-23… what would happen to the pilot?
You can only have a second account spectating for so long before it gets booted for inactivity…
I think the speed of sound works and doesn’t work sometimes in this game - some sounds seem to be faster than they should but I play with an HP Reverb and I have to play at less than half volume or it crashes so I’m no sound whore…
You can take enough from what happens to this pilot, she has a hard time seeing, can’t hear anything and has to land (she’s an emergency aircraft). - now most WWII aircraft could fly around with some open cockpits at varying degrees of openness (depending on the pilot’s comfort/preference) but they didn’t do it to hear the enemy better, and really that’s the issue with this exploit.
Even after she landed she had to pull over and recover - (she should have been wearing a helmet with the visor down, then she’d just have an adrenaline dump to deal with).

That’s uhhh… interesting lol.
Hmm, doesn’t look like an emergency to me…
You clearly can see, she is having fun! Look at her smile in the 2nd picture!!!
And in the last pic, she had to whip off her laughing tears!
So much fun she had. ;)
No does not mean yes

Oh! :/
Everyone is up in arms about canopy exploits, and I’m just here patiently waiting to be able to open my Ki-84 canopy at all… One of these years…

If you go more than 200km/h it almost inpossible to have your eyes opend, so I thing the best thing to do would be to start blackout like with the higt g, but without loosing control of the plane.
That would make them close the cokpit, and if it breaks, they have to land and repair. Easy defence.
They use helmets with oxygen mask and visor
But mach 1 and your head is off
And also the plane flew under autopilot in the straght line, the pilot just sit there and hoped to survive. He wasn’t in the control he was there just to see if its possible to survive without the cockpit colosed. This isnt any prove that it should be allowed.

Meanwhile…
Supersonic ejection seats:
Exist…
No heads were lost.
It shouldn’t be restricted. You should be able to open canopy when you want to, but pilot should be handicapped at high speed wind noise, low temperatures and pressure. Slow reactions, vignette, deafness, weaker effect on plane controls etc.

Yea, you survive because you are hold by the seat. I just dont think that in that speed your conces enought to control the plane. It vas my mistake to say mach 1 is inpossible. But it all about the split of the second and no human can think or act that fast.
Controling plane with all the forces on you is inpossible, if not so thay wouldnt build planes with conopies.
