anyone got a link to the amra 3 mod they are playing?

[@clearwater3d]

If they signed with lockheed martin, This should be P3D

[@louiswilliamhicks]

This is pretty impressive and honestly a great resource for everybody. If it provides the same dynamics as a commercial airline simulator, with the dynamics of a combat simulator, this would be very valuable, same lives, save money in the long term and make the training more accessible. I had no idea this was in development for this aircraft. Nice!

Looks like a great resource. It's a shame the graphics are still pretty bad, but they do the job.

They tend to be as most of the computing power is working towards realistic physics and flying data

They've had them at another location for about 15 years. Just the front end though. Fantastic way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

....or they could have bought some Occulus Rift devices?

[@065Tim]

VR is great for training tactics and crew coordination but lacks in training technical skills and operating equipment under stress situations.
VR would make simulated training more accessible on a unit level so it would be a great addition.

[@RobertGeez]

Graphics are terrible. Much better using Oculus Rift and FFS. Fly inside.

[@legopachycephalosaurus6825]

It isn’t all about graphics though, it’s a simulator which is only really meant to provide a semi realistic experience.

It’s not a gun

[@hugocain7628]

What are you talking about?

[@065Tim]

Why is the guy called a gunner than?

[@ballisticpanda3020]

He’s not called a gunner. He’s a weapon system operator.
