That's some of the best footage I've seen of AI piloted bombers.

Well, 2/3 are AI piloted.

 :rofl

We’ve already had this convo, you don’t retain much either.
Nice deflection attempt. Do I strike a nerve? Did I nail something?
Deflection = point away from truth.

It's good to see the Mig-21 flown by an RI without AI physics denying super powers.



It's even better to see GS not use the word "circle" at least 300 times in a single video.

Didn't strike a nerve with me, but boy did you have a fit when you realized you had spent weeks working on the film of mostly AI piloted bombers. 

It was worth giving your vid an extra view just to point that out to you.

And you realize you bump this thread as much as anyone.

Toxic, psychotic, self-aggrandizing drama queens simply aren't worth me spending my time on.

I gave him 2 views, 2 different computers. He oughta get at least as many views as those who participated.

HA!,...ummm i was here playing when buff drones were added. As our convo before, which you conveniently as a salesman can't recall, it's human control AI in one very limited situation. To aid a lone buff pilot. DCS however is AI everywhere, full tilt,... drone fights, more videos on shooting boring drones than human counterparts.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch,... DCS will never see this kind of human action. Not ever. And that is what a combat flight sim is all about, > action <, not cockpits and pretty terrains. it's the fight. I guess if one prefers sightseeing then DCS is your baby. If you want ACTION it's not. It's rated as very poor game-play.

My videos shows everything DCS can't do, outside of modern graphics, and frankly AH graphics are not "bad".

I would never had said anything about the 2/3 AI bombers were it not for your smug !00% human.

I might offer some constructive criticism for future videos. Show scenes where the fighters and bombers are flying in formation and not zipping all over even when not engaged.

So you don't think I'm being passive, because planes zooming all around when they should be in steady formation looks amateurish.

Here's the way I view the difference between games based on AI and games based on MP.

AI based game players (DCS) are like spectators watching the sport game on wide screen TV. DCS is an AI based sim/game
MP based game players (AH) are the players of the game who dig into the adrenaline first hand. AH is a MP based game/sim

I always have preferred playing sports over watching sports on TV.

Oddly, there's a story line, it's going somewhere. Shooting drones in your sim don't create much of a story, pretty scenes that say nothing.

I have another vid coming out in a few days. :)

Good luck.  I hope you break 200 views on the next one.

There are no drones in the Growling Sidewinder videos I linked. Most of my one on ones or one on two are with drones but always at the Ace level which is challenging. As anyone who has tried it knows.

DCS does have WWII planes in case you haven't noticed with more WWII content planned. Proof of interest is a recent video I made of my first 190-A8 flight. Just the pattern and crash, 880 views.

To my disappointment there was little interest in my youtube video showing our basement in Coeur D'Alene as we finished it several years ago. Did the framing ourselves and contracted the rest.

Help me out, give it view.  :aok

You need to add your scream in there somewhere.  That's your secret sauce.

Or maybe splice in some of Animl's AI bomber footage.  That got him almost 200 views.  I'm sure he wouldn't mind.  His views on IP rights are...flexible.

Thanks for the discouragement. Any port in the storm now, huh?

I don't need 20k views, I need 20 players.
