This channel features a whole bunch of videos of the myriad of games I play; from space-simulation to first person shooters, from role playing games to (tactical) strategy games, it's all there :-)

These are not commented in any way ("A picture is worth a thousand words"); also because I often find it quite unnerving having to listen to some lame-ass Lets Player... better to just enjoy the game for what it is!

Anyway, I hope you have fun watching!

If you like what you see, please subscribe and/or leave a comment and please do so if you have any questions or suggestions!

    Do you remember having any issues with the friendly units not quite killing all the infantry in the target area in this mission? I keep not succeeding because there's like 1 dude left the friendly armor is never gonna kill and i sure as hell can't spot him.

    Heya. No, I don't really remember anything like that, but at the same time, I'm not surprised too. Missions get buggy as hell after a few updates. I mean, even EDs own campaigns get stuck for a long time! Like M18 of their Su-27 campaign: forum.dcs.world/topic/310961-mission-18-under-cloud-of-night-never-tells-me-to-rtb Problem reported in Oct. '22, fixed in July '24 That's... pretty wild. Add to that, that most private made missions/campaigns never see any update, I've made it a point to "repair and change user-file missions" whenever I feel the need for it. I'd do that for official campaigns too, alas those are encrypted and can't be changed. tldr: missions might stop working after some DCS updates and you'll probably left fixing them on your own Cheers!

    @funky-sim8 күн бұрын

    @@ytdlder funny you should mention that Su-27 campaign as that's actually my bug report. Small world. I appreciate you helping out with that one. For this mission, the trigger for success is that all the enemies are out of the target zone. That's a little risky when there's infantry behind buildings that the friendlies never see and the player probably can't spot either. I'll suggest to the campaign creator a different approach for flagging success and hope he's willing to make an update. I'm recording playthroughs of newbie-friendly content with tips on strategies that worked for me, since that is the sort of stuff I wanted to see but couldn't find much of when I started DCS. This campaign looks like a good candidate but not if achieving success reasonably is kinda finicky. Thanks for your help!

    There is one problem though: back in the day PCs were slow, and thus, the games were slow. As pretty much all games were programmed time based. That flaw became out of practice as computers got faster, but back then, you could literally hit the turbo button on your PC and play a game in fast (or at all if it was more demanding^^).

Meaning: I've always been on the "SimLight" path. EF2000, EarthSiege, Armored Fist are my thing. Arcade like F-22 Lightning II are cool and fun for the quick action, but aren't really griping. Study Sims like Falcon 4.0 on the other hand need way too much sophistication to be appreciated. It'll be interesting to see, if I can make the transition to the high-fidelity planes in DCS, or if they'll be "too much work". At least with the easier planes I "know the game". Like how does everything work, how the AI handles stuff, the keybinds, the flying and navigation and so on.
