Area 51??? I'm sold.. gonna fly around randomly till I find it, eject and infiltrate!

I'm not sure Mr Mack or Wags could help. Their resources will be tied up in the upcoming projects, and they would probably just tell me they are happy with the pace of arrival of new aircraft. I'm asking the community what it would take for us to develop mods (let’s call them mods before we call them anything else) in an organised way. Let’s step back to FC2. How much would it cost to hire people to build a model, texture it... and implement it in the game? Surely we aren't talking about millions of pounds here... we are talking about a sum of money the community can easily raise. Aren't we?

Ok, now I've understood that its not really a funding problem, its a lack of know how and access to know how.

I think so too, but lets see.

So you wouldn't pay for a Tornado for example?

Haha, sorry I was a little slow on the poll :)

What 3rd party aicraft would you pay for?

Sorry, I meant both. How much do you think it costs ED, and how much would it cost to make a 3rd party mod that approaches DCS quality? The first part out of idle curiosity and the second part because it would be awesome if the community could fund mods in an organised way... voting for aircraft and volunteering money. Now don't get me wrong, I'm happy with the way things are... just a few recent developments have got me thinking - the crowd sourcing phenomenon and the fact that you can charge for mods now.

So would I.

What is a ballpark figure for funding a new DCS aircraft? Another WW2 aircraft or one for which lots of source material could be found. Does anyone know what it would cost to assemble a team of people who could make a mod which could be included in DCS? I'm thinking more of a contribution from a few people with the money, but have you guys heard of kickstarter.com? What do you think of funding new DCS aircraft that way?

Nice!!:thumbup: I think thats the most interesting Su-25 skin I've seen!

First post updated to link the sequel.

Thanks, and I wish you all many hilarious deaths in Lomac and DCS. :pilotfly:

Can you save and view multiplayer tracks? :helpsmilie:
