Much better, Got rid of the stupid filter.

[abstract yarrow]

what mod is this

[gusty light]

3 to 4 Car Packs + Graphics mod called "Sunny day in Tri City Bay" Yo that kinda rhymed.

[somber elbow]

Quite nice indeed

Though I do prefer the original

Due to my nostalgia

[gusty light]

The car packs are called "Project Reformed DLC" There are three of them + I have added some other ones too.

[gusty light]

Fully understood.

[somber elbow]

Sorry about it

Yours does look good too

Definitely very sharp

[gusty light]

Thanks.

[gusty light]

No problem.

[gusty light]

Just installed a new pack called "Porsche Pack" which adds a total of 26 porsche cars.

[abstract yarrow]

cars

[gusty light]

Most of them, Definitely. Though it has been a while since i played undercover with these packs sooo i may get some things wrong. But a lot of them definitely have customization.

[abstract yarrow]

oh that's good

[somber elbow]

pat pat

[somber elbow]

Goooood

Very gooood

[loud vale]

wish you could pause replays

to take better screenshots

[somber elbow]

Yeah it would have been nice

Still, doenst mean these are bad

Great photos

Even without pause they're pretty good

Wow Undercover feels way faster in bumper camera... No i don't ever use bumper cam.

Michael Bay Mod. Now you can push out of the way.

[somber elbow]

Haha, brilliant

[gusty light]

They always throw you around, Spin you out, Destroy you but not anymore.

[somber elbow]

The tables have turned

[gusty light]

Yessir.

[distant mica]

the turns have tabled

[gusty light]

Tier 2. Just bought it. It's good.

[misty elk]

I'm tempted to get this game now on PC lol

I usually play the PS2 version

[neat granite]

how do u buy a game that does not exist

[gusty light]

Well you pirate it. It's the only way at the point.

[misty elk]

Not the only way lol

You can probably still buy a key for it

Uhhhh, apparently Game still sell it

[gusty light]

Well that's good to hear then. Your choice.

[misty elk]

Lol

[gusty light]

Lol indeed.

Old Porsche.

8C Alfa Romeo.

......

[somber elbow]

Videoes don't seem to play

[gusty light]

They work for me... Odd.

[misty elk]

Not playing for me

But for a different reason

My mobile data is being a cunt

Not getting 4G or 5G here

Getting H+

Which is essentially 3G

@gusty light your textures seem to be bugging out in that first clip lol

[gusty light]

Undercover being Undercover.

[gusty light]

Well?

[gusty light]

Check it. It's fine for me.

[misty elk]

It was down to my own internet lol @gusty light

Which is being dumb again

[gusty light]

Guessed it.

[misty elk]

Shit keeps lagging out lol

[abstract yarrow]

games from 07 to 013 had that

nfs games*

idk about nfs mw2012

but the run and hp had it

[gusty light]

Won without getting chased by the thugs lmao.

[gusty light]

[somber elbow]

Very nice

[gusty light]

Looks like Rachel's Z from UG2.

[somber elbow]

Hehe, it does yeah

It was intentional no doubt

[frozen heath]

[candid axle]

[abstract yarrow]

[vivid dew]

stuntfest really think theyre forza horizon 1

[frozen heath]

atleast they did get that vibe unlike forza horizon 5

[vivid dew]

💀

[frozen heath]

the crew 2 moment

[distant mica]

Stuntfest?

[frozen heath]

yeah, basically the crew 2, but better

somehow

[vivid dew]

its like riders republic / steep with cars

[frozen heath]

the crew 2.5

[misty elk]

How much is it @vivid dew

[vivid dew]

its in pre alpha

[misty elk]

Oh, so it's not your gameplay? I thought it was your gameplay lol

Oh wait it is

How do you get it lol

Is it free?

@vivid dew

[vivid dew]

it is my gameplay

i got into the alpha

i think it was on steam or something

[misty elk]

Ohhhh

So it's a selection thingy

Imma Google it

Stuntfest World Tour

Apparently it's release date was October

[vivid dew]

its not even out yet

[misty elk]

Ooh I can request access

[misty elk]

Downloading stuntfest lol@vivid dew

Got instantly accepted to the playtest

[somber elbow]

Yessss boi. The Felon is such a good looking plane.

I love it. The F-35 looks mighty fine too.

[loud vale]

hell yeah

[loud vale]

except for the ugly gun pod

[somber elbow]

yeah that's unfortunate. Sadly it's the only way for the C and B models to have guns.

As only the F-35A is designed with an internal canon in mind.

In looks alone, the Su-57 Felon is simply too good looking.

[loud vale]

which you can't get rid off because to chose to include the F-35C which does not have an internal gun

[somber elbow]

Indeed.

[loud vale]

except for the fact the nozzles aren't parallel yes

[somber elbow]

F-35C was almost always the F-35 of choice to be included in AC games.

[loud vale]

but why

[somber elbow]

They're not Parallel? what?

They seem Parallel to me

[loud vale]

they go slightly outwards

and i am a man of symmetry

[somber elbow]

Oh

Hahaha, okay i see what you mean. They actually are normally Parallel

They have gotten into that shape because of a thing called "TVN"

Thrust Vectoring Nozzles

They move around with the movement of the control surfaces to provide maximum low and at times high speed maneuverability.

[loud vale]

i know about thrust vectoring

but i never seen the nozzles move away from each other

looks odd to me

still one sexy plane tho

i call it the pancake

[somber elbow]

When the aircraft with a 3D TVC like the Su-57 is pitching up, the engines move like that.

[abstract yarrow]

this a cool pic

[somber elbow]

when it's pitching down, they move down and inwards.

[somber elbow]

Fitting name, considering it is as flat as a pancake.

[loud vale]

interesting

[abstract yarrow]

I see you two love planes

[somber elbow]

very very nice.

[abstract yarrow]

sometimes i see Saab Jas planes

[somber elbow]

hehe.. yeah, I can't deny that

[abstract yarrow]

I love the sound of them in the sky

[somber elbow]

You live in Sweden?

[abstract yarrow]

seeing them is unreal

[abstract yarrow]

yes check my bio

[somber elbow]

Yeah you were Bosnian, guess you live in Sweden now.

[abstract yarrow]

Yes

long time ago

[loud vale]

i only get to see F-16's and A400M's

and sometimes apache's

[abstract yarrow]

sweden is a nice place i cant deny that

when its not like british weather

[somber elbow]

Those are pretty cool too.

[somber elbow]

yeah that's the main problem.

[abstract yarrow]

ye

[somber elbow]

JAS-39 Gripen fighters are very capable, very nimble.

And as stated, quite loud.

[loud vale]

should start seeing F-35A's flying over me in the coming years

[somber elbow]

Do you live in Poland?

[loud vale]

nope

Belgium

[somber elbow]

Ah, very very nice then.

[loud vale]

random question

anyone here play DCS?

if so; how playable is it with a controller?
and how much space does it take? (base game)

[somber elbow]

Alot, to say the least.

and as for controller, it should be workable but you'll need to co-work it with your keyboard because you'll need alot of buttons to work with.

[somber elbow]

I've seen F-5s and MiG-29s flying above, and I once saw two MiG-29s taxing to runway. Such a sick sight seeing them in the air.

[abstract yarrow]

ya

but It makes lovely noises in the sky

and look very nice

[somber elbow]

Indeed, they're lovely planes.

[abstract yarrow]

I remember saab cars having a saab 900 jas edition

[somber elbow]

SAAB may have been a pretty mediocre car maker, but their planes are top of the line.

[abstract yarrow]

Saab 9000 sce

Ah nono

its called the Viggen

Fuck

[somber elbow]

Viggen is the JA-37

[somber elbow]

Yeah that's a Viggen.

[abstract yarrow]

yes

the 9-3 had a Viggen edition

it looked so pretty

[distant mica]

I miss Saab

[abstract yarrow]

same

[somber elbow]

it does look quite nice.

[abstract yarrow]

my friend dad has a 2011 9-5

Oh Hold on that camo reminds me of something

there was one taken piece by peice apart

and somewhere i forgot where

you could sit inside and feel how its like to be in a jet

I was in one

it was pretty cool to sit in it

[somber elbow]

It is a very cool car, and an even cooler plane.

One of the few fighter jets to incorporate reverse thrust.

[abstract yarrow]

oo

[loud vale]

excuse me what

the base game has like one map and 2 planes

[somber elbow]

Indeed

And everything is simulated and detailed

Hence why the size

And there are more than planes in this game too. You can play with ships and ground vehicles and units too

[loud vale]

yeah but they're all dlc

but i guess for the sake of multiplayer it's all already in the base packages isn't it

à la Il-2 GB

[somber elbow]

Free mostly

And there are alot of free detailed mods too

[loud vale]

apart from mods

afaik you get the Su-25T and unarmed TF-51 included for free in the game

then the Caucasus map, and the Marianas map as free dlc

but i don't think you can access anything else for free

[somber elbow]

yeah taht is true

A fully paid for DCS can cost alot

But they all cost as much as they do due to the sheer amount of detail and care put into almost all the modules

[loud vale]

i was planning on using a 2 week trial of the Flanker

[somber elbow]

You can take a look at the F/A-18C Hornet manuel alone

[loud vale]

then buying it with my new player discount if i enjoy it

[somber elbow]

With that, you'll get access to both the Su-27 and the J-11A

[loud vale]

i've been in a flanker mood for a few weeks now

kinda obsessed with it

looks so good

[somber elbow]

HOWEVER, if you do like it and do wanna get it, I would suggest you buy the Flaming Cliffs 3 pack

[loud vale]

yeah ik about FC3

[somber elbow]

because you will get 3 or 4 modules

[loud vale]

but it's quite expensive

don't want to spend much money

[somber elbow]

Well, it is still a better deal than buying all the planes individually

And yeah do as you wish

[loud vale]

ik

[somber elbow]

DCS can easily become a money pit

One has to be careful

[loud vale]

i need to finish AC7 first

then i want to buy the valve pack on steam and play some half life

so dcs can wait lmao

also started the last of us for the third time yesterday, gotta play that as well

[somber elbow]

Hehe, yeah it will be time consuming

[loud vale]

oh boy

i'm hard rn

[abstract yarrow]

me too

and its mixed

both from su 27 and women

[loud vale]

damn

[somber elbow]

oooooh!

Now this is fantastic

Flanker's are great.

I wish Iran would have bought Su-30SME's.

[loud vale]

not a fan of two seaters tbh

on flankers it looks weird imo

the Fulcrum's on the other hand look very elegant as two seaters

[somber elbow]

Actually I think the Opposite

I feel it looks better on 2 seater Flankers than 2 seater Fulcrums.

Though the ones posted above are MiG-29UBs

You could take a look into a MiG-29K or a MiG-35 if you want a good looking 2 seater fulcrum if you ask me.

[loud vale]

so i finished AC7

also gryphus 1 is back ❤️

[somber elbow]

Yesss boi

[loud vale]

honestly i found the story really confusing sometimes

and i still kinda dislike the voice acting

[somber elbow]

Some parts of the story were rather butchered by the localisation

So I doht blame you

But this sort of vague serious type story telling is normal in Ace combat

[vivid dew]

i liked it

[somber elbow]

The devil is in the details

These games wear that aspect

[vivid dew]

it was worse in older games where most of the lore is in manuals and not elaborated upon until later games

[somber elbow]

Ace combat never bothered much with putting information in manuals

Because they always said it in the games

Some bits of detail were always relegated to the manuals and books however even in AC7's case

[vivid dew]

they barely mentioned the asteroid thing considering how much of a big deal it was

in 04

[somber elbow]

It was the driving point in 04, they didn't mention it?

Are you sure?

[vivid dew]

they did
but barely

[somber elbow]

To be fair 04 was Project Aces' first game as Project Aces

[vivid dew]

it was like oh yeah some asteroid did some stuff in the intro then forgot about it

[somber elbow]

So some edges were rough

[vivid dew]

they really could have gone more in depth about it causing Eurasia's motives and whatever

[somber elbow]

That is true

And they did in the Aces at war books and later lore

But I guess they just hadn't everything figured out by then

[vivid dew]

they wanted to spend more time on yellow 13 and his muscles

or pixy's handsome face than to give any explanation where those giant superweapons came from before you destroy them 2 seconds after theyre revealed

[somber elbow]

That is a fair point

In AC04, ACX and AC7

Super weapons were a driving point of the plot

And sometimes were even personal nemesis to you

But in ACZ, you're jsut speedrunning destroying everything

Laser gets revealed, destroyed
Giant aircraft gets revealed, destroyed
Avalon revealed, destroyed
Pixy revealed, destroyed

Sure it says alot about Cipher being good

But it also says alot about how ACZ was basically just about speed running everything

[somber elbow]

AC04 still did a great job on the emotional front

Though that isn't exclusive to AC04

[loud vale]

honestly i kinda preferred pw's story and characters

[vivid dew]

i want another ace combat 3 style game

[somber elbow]

I'd rather not

[vivid dew]

😠

[somber elbow]

Because it'd just be hell

[vivid dew]

NIGHT RAVEN

[somber elbow]

Ac3 plot gets summarised as

[vivid dew]

ac3 will be real in 17 years

[somber elbow]

[vivid dew]

redditor gets cucked by a toaster, makes a fish get revenge in a video game

[somber elbow]

Indeed

[distant mica]

[somber elbow]

The electrospere is reeeeeal

[vivid dew]

meta will become the electrosphere

[somber elbow]

[somber elbow]

I have alot of love for these racing beasts

[frozen heath]

i like the autobacs supergt supra

[sand shale]

hehe

[loud vale]

someone made this custom romanian tempest skin for il-2 for me, gonna have to wait until next week end before trying it tho

on the up side

i got more AC7 screenies to post

Unlocked the Ukrainian Air Force camo for the Terminator

and Jester's Fulcrum which looks absolutely amazing imo

his death was a little more... documented

@somber elbow i suppose you already beat all the aces right?

[loud vale]

also used my second steam account to sell a csgo skin and gift myself this

[somber elbow]

Indeed. Getting them was quite fun

[somber elbow]

That's very nice then

Excellent

[loud vale]

imo it would be more fun if they were tied to a pve mode

[somber elbow]

Nah honestly

Ace combat is a purely singleplayer experience

Only times Ace conbat tries to be heavy on MP is when they make an entire game dedicated to it

[loud vale]

i mean not multiplayer

but like conquest in pw

also this is a cut ace

[somber elbow]

Yeah the F-4 phantom ace

He would have likely appeared in M3

But since the plane wasn't ready for player use when the game was released

It had to become DLC for later

[loud vale]

wdym

it was a preorder bonus at first

[somber elbow]

The pre order came when the plane wasn't ready

So in order to compensate for that

They made it Pre order bonus

Basically, they did tell the players the Phantom wouldn't be ready in time and then they managed to finish it just on time

And to make it an apology, they made it a pre order plane

It's easy as hell to get it though and whichever version or AC7 you get now you get all the pre order content, extra 3 missions and the ADF plane pack anyway

[loud vale]

i didn't

i bought a TGM edition key and it only came with that dlc

and avril's f-104

[somber elbow]

Hmm, guess some things changed

Alot of game versions of AC7 changed when the TGM dlc came along

Because of the deals they changed some of the versions of the game too

[loud vale]

sadge

[gusty light]

M3 GTR Build Replica.

[loud vale]

[abstract yarrow]

this is how theo is gonna build his m3

[somber elbow]

perhaps yeah

[loud vale]

Jester ready to fight, i really love this skin, pity you can't apply the actual Erusean air force emblem

and an Irania-... Erusean Super Tomcat to top it off for my bud Mini Nima

[somber elbow]

well you can come pretty close

[somber elbow]

hehehe

Excellent

And wanna know what's funny about the pic you took?

[loud vale]

go ahead

[somber elbow]

That pic you took is of M8

At Artiglio port

[loud vale]

i guess

[somber elbow]

So the funny thing is

[loud vale]

i don't know the missions by heart

wanted something that kinda fit the desert iranian scheme

[loud vale]

?

bruh i dont like cliffhangers

[somber elbow]

Sorry I am trying to post the pic

[loud vale]

oh lol

[somber elbow]

So Artiglio port is actually directly based on the Bandar Abbas port from Iran

https://www.reddit.com/r/acecombat/comments/hxmsgn/artiglio_port_vs_bandar_abbar_naval_base_iran/

[loud vale]

LMAO

[somber elbow]

So you using the Iranian F-14 in the scene is a very excellent coincidence hehe

[loud vale]

IM TOO FUCKING GOOD AT THIS

[somber elbow]

hehehe

it's such a lucky coincidence

But hey it works

[loud vale]

seen that before but way before i played ac7

[somber elbow]

Not sure how I feel about having to blow up my country's oil base

But hey, it isn't called the same

[loud vale]

also bought the f-14d just to use that skin and take screenies in free flight

[somber elbow]

Beautiful then

[loud vale]

i mean

[somber elbow]

Use the plane too, it's alot of fun

[loud vale]

yeah

[somber elbow]

And hey, we do alot of stuff in other parts of the world

Project Aces is the last place to do propaganda

[loud vale]

well i have the F-14A already so meh

[loud vale]

yeah well technically in Joint Assault i beat my country

[somber elbow]

Hehe, true

[somber elbow]

that is true, considering Valahia is a Romanian insurgence group

[loud vale]

yup

baddie is called Dumitrescu which is a romanian name

[somber elbow]

Yeah what does it mean

[loud vale]

and the ace squadron is called Varcolac

which means werewolf

[loud vale]

nothing really

just a random family name

[somber elbow]

Ahh, understandable then

I don't know how it feels for Romania to get represented like this

But hey, Romania doesn't get that much representation usually

[loud vale]

well i doubt anyone in romania plays ac lol

[loud vale]

for good reason

Mig-21: crashes

Romania: sends rescue helicopter

Rescue helicopter: also crashes

[somber elbow]

Really? that happened?

[loud vale]

💀 best air force in the world

[loud vale]

yup

like last year

[somber elbow]

Goddamn

That's quite unfortunate

[loud vale]

yeah

mig pilot ejected and lived

heli crew died

[somber elbow]

That's even more unfortunate

Consdering they were the rescue sqaud

[loud vale]

yup

irony

[somber elbow]

Indeed

Sorry to hear about it eitherway

Your Air Force is still quite capable considering the situation your country has been put in

[loud vale]

i guess

[somber elbow]

i mean hey, you're the exception to the rule hehe

[loud vale]

when it works lol

[loud vale]

not really i thankfully don't live there anymore

[loud vale]

and we sorta have an aeronautical industry

Yup

Now this is how you make LEGO awesome

Not Radio Awesome lmao

[frozen heath]

more like the forza horizon 5 expansion

Forza wish they be this good

that expansion's small as heck

Man, Sega Rally was just such an experience

It was part of my childhood hence I can't forget it or these two cars

But yeah, racing games, much like most genres of gaming, have stagnated over time

Exceptions here and there

But I suppose one just has to not be a bitch as Nico said and make the game good themselevs

[misty elk]

Honestly? It ain't that good lmao

Tbf tho I don't find many games good anymore

I just play them for the sake of not being completely bored

[somber elbow]

That's how gaming has developed as a whole

Just something to kill the boredom

Though sometimes the games just manage to worsen it

I wouldn't say taht

It was good until FH3

And that's where the problems began to run deep

[vivid dew]

not as good as 1 tho

just got more drawn out and bland over time

[somber elbow]

Well yeah

The direction was very similar between Fh1 and FH2

Then FH3 tried to expand

But they forgot to innovate further

And the franchise began getting very stale

[vivid dew]

maybe motorfest can put some pressure onto forza???

[somber elbow]

Eh, I doubt it to be honest

[somber elbow]

It is not successful enough

Though who knoes

[vivid dew]

i have some hope

[somber elbow]

Less possible things have happened

But alas, it seems hopeless

Forza has just monopolised itself too much

By the virtue of everything else being irrelevant or not comparable

[somber elbow]

I would like to see it do well enough to pressure Forza devs a bit, but only time can tell really

[misty elk]

Did someone say monopoly

[somber elbow]

It's not the most possible thing

is there really no end to cringe? if Hasbro is behind this, that would mean later down the line they'll put transformers in fartnite 😮 imagine optimus doing belly dances 🤦‍♂️

[loud vale]

sad to see GT5 always being mentionned instead of 6

when 6 is better in pretty much every way

except for scapes lmao

[somber elbow]

I guess it's because 6 is where the franchise getting stale had become most obvious

[loud vale]

my guess is most people haven't played it

as it came out in late 2013

like the PS4

[somber elbow]

True, that is true

[misty elk]

Imagine they'd released it for PS4 instead lol

Like as a PS4 launch title

[loud vale]

would work i guess

though it was too outdated for the PS4

with all of the ps2/psp cars

[somber elbow]

Now that's a nice look

This might keep you out of solitary hehe

[neat granite]

what game is that

dont say AC

not gonna believe that

Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War

nah it’s just Grid: Legends

[somber elbow]

Histoooria

[vivid dew]

Well both games have swag music

[somber elbow]

Hehe, true to eb honest

and their musics make them much better experiences

[loud vale]

played mission 19 again to get the two ace skins from it

and oh boy was it stressful

did like half of it at least with 10%hp

[somber elbow]

These skins are great

[somber elbow]

That's definitely quite stressful

[frozen heath]

https://youtu.be/tSfM7Gl_wx8

[vivid dew]

Pikachu car

[loud vale]

THIS SKIN WAS SUCH A BITCH TO GET

did the mission like 5 or 6 times

current Ace skin collection

[abstract yarrow]

war thundie?

[misty elk]

No

That's Ace Combat 7

[abstract yarrow]

Ohh

[somber elbow]

Space loves this plane

[somber elbow]

this skin is a pain to get

[stiff storm]

https://youtu.be/Nl8R5tD5xuU

why'd you post a 2+ year old video?

[mossy cairn]

Because underrated channel

[vivid dew]

Sixtyniner

[loud vale]

i have taken 33 screenshots in AC7 tonight

if only steam worked and allowed me to download them to my laptop

[somber elbow]

Really nice

Lovely lovely

This game is so majestic looking

[abstract yarrow]

I want this game ngl

[loud vale]

Thanks

[somber elbow]

I highly recommend it

It constantly goes on sale as well

Or if you want it that badly, get it off Internet

[loud vale]

i bought a key for like 11€ i think

for the Top gun edition

so it's really not expensive

also yesterday i tried to get mihaly's skin for the su30m

i beat him but i died once

and it didn't register

😦

also forgot about the ace skin from that mission

waste of time

[somber elbow]

hehe, it's good taht teh missions are so replyable anyway

So you will always come back and try again anyway

[loud vale]

today's achievements so far

playing some mp rn

Shooting down Lynx

THE MIG 35 HAS A MIG29 SNIPER LIVERY

I NEED IT

[loud vale]

if only it was on the 29 😦

[loud vale]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQa1JGmcMko&t=2s&ab_channel=alaska

[neat granite]

has anyone played this? I am really keen on buying it

[somber elbow]

Well, it makes more sense on the MiG-35 given that the MiG-29 Sniper is on par with the MiG-35

But yeah it'd fit more with the single seat setup

[abstract yarrow]

@loud vale Sukhoi T-4.

pretty cool plane

[frozen heath]

it's trying to be roblox?

[loud vale]

Yup

I'm just not a fan of how the Super Fulcrum looks

The Mig-29UB is gorgeous as a two seater

But the 35 nah

[loud vale]

Yeah

"comrade let's take concordski and make bomber da? Da."

[somber elbow]

Really?

I always thought the UB was the bad looking one

[loud vale]

I think the UB is much more elegant

The canopy is too big on the 35

Kinda breaks the flow of the lines

[somber elbow]

The canopy sizes are relatively the same

it's just that the UB has no radar

hence it can have a short nose

[loud vale]

Yeah i guess

[somber elbow]

While the 35 has an even bigger radar than the one on most MiG-29 models

[loud vale]

Idk i just prefer the UB

It looks cleaner

Then again the UB is a trainer

[somber elbow]

You're certainly the first I've found to say that

Syaing they like the UB more than the normal models and the 35

[loud vale]

Idk i just find it beautiful

I don't really like two seaters

But the UB

Man

[somber elbow]

I tend to be the same for the mosrt part

But 2 seaters have their own style alot of times

making me like them as well

[loud vale]

Found some romanian fulcrums

[somber elbow]

But UB sadly never was one of them

But of course, as far as a plane goes, the UB is useful

Both as a trainer as a combat fighter

[loud vale]

Welp to each their own

[somber elbow]

Very nice. I do like the Romanian roundel

[loud vale]

The only other two seater i like is the tomcat

Obviously

[somber elbow]

Hehe

[loud vale]

How can you not like the tomcat

[somber elbow]

Indeed

[loud vale]

And the Phantom i guess

[somber elbow]

It's not just a plane, it's THE plane

F-14 defined the 4th gen

[loud vale]

Yeah
Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins starts playing

[somber elbow]

yes my bouy

Also Mighty wings

[loud vale]

Idk that one

The Top Gun reference in GTA Online was cool

[somber elbow]

it was the one at the end of top gun 1 with Maverick and Iceman having a mockup dogfight

[somber elbow]

There was one?

[loud vale]

Oh

[loud vale]

You know that mission where you have to steal a plane off a carrier and fight your way out?

It's a heist setup

Once you shoot down all the enemy planes, the radio automatically turns on and plays Danger Zone

[somber elbow]

Ooooh, I had forgotten that GTA V had Danger zone as one of its songs on the radio

But I didn't know the radio would switch to that after you shoot down all enemy planes in that mission

[loud vale]

It has a lot of great songs you just don't hear that often

[somber elbow]

that's cool to know

I've played that mission alot of times

very fun and very unrealistuic mission

[somber elbow]

yeah that is true

[loud vale]

I'm not sure it does it everytime

But it happened to me

So unless it was a coincidence it was on the radio at that time

[somber elbow]

Hehe, if it was, it was one of the best coincidences of all time

[somber elbow]

haha, brilliant

makes sense why I never heard oit

[loud vale]

I started playing on PS3, so i didn't get that at first

So i must've heard it either on Xbox One or PC

Probably Xbox as i haven't played much online on PC

[abstract yarrow]

is pretty

@loud vale hehehe

[somber elbow]

pfft

yeah that cuased quite some noise

[loud vale]

lmao

[loud vale]

lmaoo

[somber elbow]

Beeeeautiful

This game really does make for alot of beautiful moments

[stiff storm]

https://youtu.be/Ek1TSnPZd3M

[neat granite]

i dont know whats in roblox thats related to this game, but this is a portal kind of game, except that you use the gun to rewind time on certain objects

[loud vale]

JUST LOOK AT IT

[somber elbow]

Hehe, you're starting to make me like them

Since you like Fulcrum UBs

Here is a formation flight of Iran's Air force from a year ago

It includes an F-14A, a MiG-29UB, a Saegeh, an F-5E and an F-4D

[loud vale]

That's so unique

and so fucking cool

[somber elbow]

Hehe, thank you. I am glad you like it

IRIAF is a bit slap dash because of the different and usually old equipment

But they're still pretty refined for as much as they can be anywau

[loud vale]

I can tell

but it's such a cool mixture of aircraft

old or not

[somber elbow]

Hehe, indeed

A mixture of American and Russian planes

And a soon to be addition of Su-35 Fighters

[loud vale]

That's kinda what i liked about Romania and NATO

MiG's flying with american designs

[somber elbow]

Yeah alot of technology Transfer

Ir makes alot of sense

Espiecally on something like the MiG-29 Sniper

[loud vale]

Hey as long as there's peace you don't need the best equipment

[somber elbow]

Which is a complete overhaul

To the normal MiG-29

[somber elbow]

Yeah well, these equipment are for deterance

So long as they can manage that

[loud vale]

A weapon which isn't used in combat is arguably more important and succesful

not used as in not necessary

[loud vale]

yep

big problem was the engines tho

they couldn't figure out how to solve the problem of the Russian engines

[somber elbow]

Well the Russians engines had no problem

[loud vale]

still had to buy them from Russia

[somber elbow]

Bar the fuel efficiency

[loud vale]

the acquisition is the problem

[somber elbow]

That is fair

[loud vale]

they need replacement or overhaul after a while

[somber elbow]

That is true, and it becomes hard to get things from Russia when you get further away from them.polticially and get buddy buddy with NATO

It is why India has no problem of such

Poland had simiale issues with their Fulcrums

[somber elbow]

They were very modernized

But parts acquisition was an issue

[loud vale]

Not really

[somber elbow]

Yeah this is great

[loud vale]

Poland managed to keep commercial ties with Russia even after the regime change

[somber elbow]

Seeing planes of opposing forces together

[somber elbow]

I know

[loud vale]

they had much easier access to parts and maintenance

[somber elbow]

Poland never was on terrible terms with Russia until recently which it wasn't by choice either

But it still wasn't easy either when they had become such a pivotal part to NATO

[loud vale]

let's make an aviation forum

we're kinda polluting the games one

[somber elbow]

Hehe, yeah I suppose ao

[somber elbow]

Nice

[loud vale]

@somber elbow do you think the next Ace Combat game will be delayed because of the war in Ukraine and the sanctions imposed on Russia?

Because i suspect paying Mikoyan and Sukhoi and Tupolev money for licenses for their planes isn't quite legal atm

Unless they already have long enough licenses to sustain them through the next game

And i don't see an AC game with just american planes happening

No more assault horizon pliz

[somber elbow]

Honestly never thought about that aspect..

Hmm.. it's a good question to be honest

But I don't have an answer per say. I mean I can imagine that would have an effect but I don't know if a video game license is that troublesome

Then again, if it wasn't, AC would have long since included Chinese planes in their games too

[loud vale]

Fair enough

[weak badge]

well you say that but Snowrunner got licensed soviet vehicles after the war started

so maybe they will be ok

[misty elk]

Didn't snowrunner release before the war?

Yh, 28th April 2020 lol

[misty elk]

So this is incorrect

Oh wait, you mean like DLC licenced vehicles?

I'll check

[weak badge]

yeah

Kirovets

the DLC with Kirovets tractors came out a few months after the war started

[misty elk]

Ah

[loud vale]

well that's a tractor

[misty elk]

They might have got the licencing before though lol

[loud vale]

not a jet

[misty elk]

They usually get the licence before they start development/modelling lol

Otherwise they'll have wasted time and resources

[somber elbow]

Aren't the Russian snow runner cars not licensed?

Ah yeah the DLCs

[somber elbow]

For arcade games like AC it doesn't matter that much

[weak badge]

AC can just

make thier own lmao

they arent bad at it

[somber elbow]

Russia has been pretty easy with giving PA the allowance to scan their aircrafts

Japan and Russia never were on that bad of terms

[somber elbow]

It would look stupid

Because every game until now has had them detailed and licensed

Eitherway, the issue wouldn't really be a matter of whether if PA can still license them or not

Cause they definitely can

[weak badge]

may I remind you about Driver

[somber elbow]

The issue is whether if the Japanese government will take issue with it or not

[weak badge]

which shifted from some licensed cars to none to all to none again

[somber elbow]

Well Driver is a special case

They never had a case of having had licensed plane since the very first game they released

AC has licensed their real life planes every single time

Save for the fictional planes that were in the game

It's not like it's impossible for them to include the models of the aircrafts without the correct names to avoid copyright

Cause its already done that before in Project wingman

But the issue is, it would look bad for the western planes to have proper names and such and then Russians planes

Wbich have always been a very important part of the AC games' rosters may I add

To have fake names

[weak badge]

it would look bad but...would you rather have fake names, or none at all?

[vivid dew]

i support fake names
because it means you dont need to collaborate with the world's largest terror organisation
the us military 😬

[somber elbow]

For the time being, we can only wait and see but I'd rather not choose from eituer

[somber elbow]

That is true, but it's kinda Hard to be anti war when your entire franchise revolves around wars

Ace combat already manages a very fine balance

Western companies are harder to work with in this case

For exmaple, Lockheed Martin, doesn't allow Ace combat to use any of their planes for the games' main villains

Only Unnamed enemy planes

[weak badge]

so they fky Mockheed Lartin

idk Ive never played thier gmaes

[somber elbow]

And even then the enemies in Ace combat games have more so Russian based equipment
While the side you're fighting for as American equipment

[somber elbow]

Hehe, I do suggest you pick up an AC game and play

It's alot of fun

[vivid dew]

we need a new ace combat where the enemy is based on america

💪

[weak badge]

england

make the enemy england

[somber elbow]

We've kinda had that but not fully

[weak badge]

pleas

[somber elbow]

You see
In AC5 and AC7

You fight for Osea

[weak badge]

I want to be villanised

[somber elbow]

But things go south at some points and Oseans try to kill you

[weak badge]

oh yeah I slightly remember

[somber elbow]

Osea is based on America

Even has similar policies

Which is to say

Putting their nose where it doesn't belong

[vivid dew]

make a game where osea is invading a country because of weapons of mass destruction which are actually owned by ocea
and theyre actually invading because their government is refusing to be in the pocket of osea

[somber elbow]

Oh wait that already exists

Ace combat zero: Belkan war

[vivid dew]

weapons of ass destruction

[somber elbow]

Dildo and sex toy production companies: Allow us to introduce ourselves

[somber elbow]

I am glad to hear

[vivid dew]

grunder, after government intervention to stop their military production, resorts to making mechanised dildos

[weak badge]

my di-

[somber elbow]

pfft, to be honest that doesn't sound the worst

[somber elbow]

Well, it's not lying

[vivid dew]

you think you can use those brain machine things from ac3 that they use to fly the plane to do vr sex?

[somber elbow]

Knowing grunder, they can make sex toys faster and cheaper than anyone
Even implement ZOE AI to make their sex toys autonomus

[vivid dew]

secret ac3 good ending
dision and yoko get put into sex robots and live happily ever after

[somber elbow]

Well, AC3 is a sorta cyberpunk setting in terms of features and details
And the COFFIN system is an advanced VR system

but the thing is, the COFFIN system connects the person directly to the plane's interface

So their mind can control the planes with very little manual input

[vivid dew]

computer
connect me directly into the dildo's interface

[somber elbow]

The issue here is however

I don't know if COFFIN exists in form of normal VR usage

[somber elbow]

Frankly would solve all of the intercooperate war all together

[vivid dew]

could you upload a virus onto an enemy's coffin interface to simulate a blow job?

to distract them during a dogfight?

[somber elbow]

Well.. it is possible for a virus to get into a plane's interface to disrupt the pilot's connection and cause damage to both the plane and the pilot as seen with that UPEO mission in AC3

So in principle, I guess if you can hack your enemies' COFFIN systems manually, yeah you could

[vivid dew]

watch project aces work around ac3 tech being too advanced by writing it off as too vunerable to viruses and failure so future games can go back to traditional plane controls

[somber elbow]

I mean it was kinda seen in the game itself to a degree

Cause for exmaple, we can take a look at each faction's arsenal

UPEO and GR rely mainly on modernized and advanced upgrades to already existing crafts and air frames

[vivid dew]

i want to look at each faction's arse

[somber elbow]

While Neucom relies solely on making their own equipment and using that as a baragining chip

so Nuecom's equipment becomes much easier to hack

As compared to the former two's more manual nature

[vivid dew]

neucom making barely functional planes but looks like an animal so worth a bazillion dollars

[somber elbow]

Hahaha

[vivid dew]

hey guys lets make planes with no wings it would be funny
what you mean it is barely controlable

[somber elbow]

Yeah and also being obsessed with sea animals since that's what tehy name their stuff after

[vivid dew]

ironic because theyre planes not boats

[somber elbow]

indeed

[vivid dew]

do they have a ship that looks like a Camel

do they have a big heavy slow tank that looks like a Peregrine Falcon

[somber elbow]

I don't know how to feel about this mod

[vivid dew]

better than the america plane livery in the game

[somber elbow]

Especially since the desert camo one is the Iranian Tomcat which would be probably like : "What are you doung to my painjob? that's haram"

[somber elbow]

hahaha, yeah the ASG isn't exactly the most creative

[vivid dew]

has someone made wipeout planes?

[somber elbow]

Not as far as I know

[vivid dew]

boo

[somber elbow]

Mods for this game are usually either real life planes or planes from other plane based fracnhsies like PW or Macross

Tehre are sometimes MISC stuff too like the Red Baron WW1 Fokker plane

[vivid dew]

i didnt know dision made a cameo in the wrong universe (joint assault)

bro got lost in the electrosphere

[somber elbow]

Yeah Joint Assault had this mode called Ace of aces where it's basically a suvrival mode

You beat like 10 standard enemies

then a special enemy unit shows up

from order they're:
AC6 Su-37 Strigion
ACX F-22 Gryphus
ACZ F-15 Galm
AC5 F-14 Wardog
AC4 Su-37 Yellow
AC4 F-22 Mobius
AC3 F-15 S/MTD Dision
AC2 ADF-01 ZOE
AC1 Typhoon Scarface

[vivid dew]

MORBIUS???????!??!?!?

[somber elbow]

hehehe

Morbious 1, engage

[somber elbow]

Well their ships look like these

[somber elbow]

They actually have a strange looking tank but I think only GR uses them in the game

they're like walking crab tanks

[vivid dew]

new game to add to the namco multiverse

[somber elbow]

hahaha

I didn't know a bout this

[vivid dew]

didnt know dision was a fan of tennis

[somber elbow]

Well it's SARF, which means Nemo, Erich, Fiona and Rena

Not Dision

[vivid dew]

look to the right

[somber elbow]

ooooooh

Ororborus is there too lol

One of the fun things about AC3 is that because the game had alot of original deisgns

And the game had limiations due to the PS1
