@EtherealN The X-51 the X-15 and other high altitude aircraft maybe, but for space flight we need to modeled a 3D globe (actual map are not a globe but in flat surface) and need too to completely adding a big part of physic like "Orbiter" for space flight. But yeah i know its possible, but not as "DCS" cause its not a combat craft, maybe as DSS for Digital Space Simulator or DOS for Digital Open Simulator (not open for open source but more like MFS) If space craft are planed its not for yet its sure. And yeah i know that and i have see with the KA-50 that the ground effect are really nicely modeled in DCS, Ekranoplane can work pretty well, but i don't thing if one day the Ekranoplane will do for DCS that its will coming soon cause ED have a lot of road map project for the moment. And yes i know that but i want mean for the next official DCS aircraft i don't think it will be an aircraft actually not in service, i think it will be more a newer aircraft like F-15E variant for example, but i wonder see the Tomcat :p And if it the Tomcat we will kill a lot of Mig :p But maybe follow the same way than the Warhog, A10A (FC) -> A10C (DCS)...F-15C (FC) -> F-15E (DCS), its not impossible that ED have planed to do it. And it will maybe be using as training simulator "maybe", and coming to reinforce the fleet of flyable aircraft in The Battle Sim @joey45 Why ?

Sadly not yet but maybe soon with combined arms :p

Maybe not maybe yes, nits not cause we don't have any announcement that we don't will have... But if its sure that will be sad cause flyable FC aircraft are not hard to make compare to DCS... And hope make life :D

Haha the funny version of Orbiter Space Simulator ! If the official website of The Battle Simulator : Currently nine flyable aircraft (A-10A, F-15C, Su-27, MiG-29, MiG-29, Su-25, Su-25T, Su-33, Ka-50) with more under development (F-16, F/A-18). I wonder see the F/A-18C as next DCS aircraft and the F-16 as new FC3 aircraft.

So, finally we can see DCS Saturn V and DCS Buran ? Imagine dogfight Buran vs Discovery ! STS Discovery, Houston, enemy space shuttle just now have take off and will be in space orbit in 7 minute, interception with you calculated in 1h35 min at FL 864 heading 126 speed mach 27, clear for launching fox 4 missile. :D With the jet engine and the missile capability the Buran will be the perfect fighter aircraft xD Or maybe DCS Lun Strike Ekranoplane ? But Buran and Ekranoplane are not US :/ More seriously, i don't think it can be the Tomcat cause its too old but it will be nice, the best choice F/A-18C/D Hornet and F-15E Strike Eagle. The Falcon will not be a nice choice cause after DCS the more realistic and advanced hardcore simulator still Falcon 4 and the open source variant, and due to fact that Seven G will coming with the Hornet, the next can maybe be the F-15E but the real military variant of DCS show an Hornet C a lot of time, finally...who know...

DCS AIM-9 Sidewinder :megalol:

Ok sorry for mistake thanks for information, its a good new, it can maybe be the Tomcat :p But the F-15 its not a fixed wing he have the new technology, IFWRS in flight wing removing system xD (really nice pilot) Finally ED just announced that it will be an aircraft and not an heli, do its really a necessarily information when we know that we talk about the next "aircraft" and that its a "jet fighter" ? I wonder see the B1 !!! the best modern bomber with the coolest look ever, but its not a fighter...

I love the C variant of the hornet, but the Super Hornet mk1 don't really have classified data, and the A10C are newer than the Super Hornet, if ED follow your think its not a problem if the next aircraft was an Hornet or the Falcon, but if ED do, i hope the next aircraft not will be the Eagle cause the C/D are only a fighter, multirole are better, Hornet or Strike Eagle F-15E, possibility to SEAD, CAS, ground strike and also air combat will be nice, and the Hornet can give us two nice thing, carrier OPS and high alpha <3 !!! Anyways for the hornet the C/D have the maneuverability advantage and the E/F have the avionic advantage, anyway i wonder see the C/D or both and my favorite aircraft still the hornet but i wonder see too the F-15E. Sadly it can't be the Tomcat cause its not a fixed wing and i thing its for make us know that it can't be the tomcat that ED have said to us that the next will be a modern fixed wing fighter. And of course the next can't be the Raptor (anyways this aircraft in real have a lot of problems :megalol: the T-50 and the YF-23 are better :D) but it can be adding as AI aircraft like many other. Anyways we will all be surprised when ED will announced that the next aircraft will be the F-104 Starfighter or the F-4 Phantom :megalol:

DCS USS Iowa Commander ! That can be nice :p With Combined Arms that will be logical to have ground vehicle like M1 or another...

Yeah but its a long work and its not supposed to be me who have to do it but ok i can try, i have already see several texture files but i need a basic tuto (wish files it is, cause i will make long time to find it one by one) and with my free time i will do it...I have PS, i have already create a skin for the A10C. And for the airport i want mean with several picture and google earth view the real look older than what we have in DCS but yes its true DCS don't simulate a precise period of time and that can finally be the airport when theirs was created... Just please told me what is exactly the texture files for high altitude and low altitude and i will do it myself and hope that ED Team can (if that become a popular mods) integrated in officially into DCS.

I think the SU35 are so modern for a simulator like DCS, Eagle Dynamics make only FULL REALISTIC aircraft and the SU35 are so modern and a lot of data will still classified and can't permit to give a full realistic aircraft finally. I'm not sure but that sound logical to my ear... And like EtherealN say the next aircraft will be a Modern popular US Fixed Wing Fighter Jet. F-14 its not possible due to not fixed wings, old aircraft its not will be possible too (the A10C are coming to service in 2006) so its not possible for F-4 or older, and F-35 and F-22 are so recent, that can only be the F-16 (i don't know various version of the Falcon) the F-15 C/D (o hope no cause only air to air and already in Flaming Cliff) F-15E Strike Eagle (really nice choice where we can fly alone or with bot/another player in MP and like the A10C who coming from the A10A that we have in Flaming Cliff its a possible choice). And my favorite aircraft the F/A-18 Hornet with carrier OPS possibility. and C/D version with ond avionic but the best maneuverability and extreme high alpha or the E/F and less maneuverability and better avionic and global performance. F-16, F-15 or F-18 its the only possibility for the next, but maybe for the aircraft after that yeah that can be nice to see a Russian Aircraft OR another than always Russian and US aircraft, like French Mirage 2000 or Harrier or other nice aircraft, imagine DCS B1 Lancer :p and i'm not joke, this aircraft are awesome and beautiful with extreme performance. But before that the aircraft after the next (if we don't die in end of 2012 xD) must be a Russian Aircraft, SU33, SU30 or Mig29 !!!

Maybe the Nevada map qill be prefect, but the Georgia must be recreate totally... Nothing are correct except basic relief, city, airport and river location. Texture color must be totally change, look "Caucasus" or "Georgia" on google picture or in youtube, the color are totally false for dust/sand, earth, grass, rock and other details. Sadly the simulation represent always a dead world and its not nice the our eyes, we dont have any little flower on the ground, never any color, always the same color everywhere, not DCS only, but in every simulator, exept maybe photorealistic like Aerofly FS or like payware scenery in Flight Simulator, (i know photorealism are not realist for a lot of reasons like athmospheric condition when the picture are taken and other things...Buts its still better than actual texture, 10000 more beautiful AND realist cause actually no one color present on the map are present in a real landscape, and anyways we can correct this difference) Look the picture here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caucasus_Mountains http://mapstor.com/data/images/articles/caucasus/caucasus-tiberda.jpg http://bestraworganic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/caucasus1.jpg http://www.clubaventure.fr/upload/georgie_01_cgtt.jpg Seriously, imagine how that can be 1000 better if we can have the same color in DCS with details like flower (not in 3D ok but please make a compensation and integrate it on texture) flower its a single example, but every vegetation miss, if only flower miss ok its not a problem, but when everything in a full category miss, its not the same... Same for rock, look the beautiful effect that rock and grass mix together give to our eyes, imagine how that can be nice AND realistic !!! to see it in the Georgia map ! The actual airport are not exact, the position and the map are perfectly reproduce but the style are totally different, actual look more like nice US base without any usury like if the airbase are new, compare with google earth, its not a big problem, but airport represent an important part of an air simulator and that make a big contrast, the city are so many basic, look at google picture and you will see how city in real life are rich, various and beautiful, the city itself look like a old and low cost suburb...That need more different building, monument, house, various details on road. Look in this picture how city are rich, beautiful and totally different than what we have in DCS : http://www.geo.fr/var/geo/storage/images/voyages/guides-de-voyage/asie/georgie/107275-28-fre-FR/georgie_940x705.jpg http://www.monde-du-voyage.com/georgie/voyage-georgie-3.jpg Look this website : http://www.rankopedia.com/Favorite-City-in-Caucasus/Step1/17083/.htm do right click on the miniature and open image And less contrast between city who look more old and poor than real and airport who look more unused than real... Simulation its a sad world without color and where the nature don't exist (its why i always compare with Arma where the nature are perfectly identical than real) and where city are dead like post apocalyptic and where we don't have any color, light or monuments, everything are the same, just copy and past... Please ED give us a more living simulator with more realistic color, more nature and more rich ground texture and more realistic airport and city...

But without contract did we don't take the risk to have problems with the real aircraft constructor and the country who use it ? Just a simple question... And for the next aircraft F-16 can be nice, but i prefer the F-15E Strike Eagle and better than him the F/A-18C/D/E/F Hornet/Super Hornet, but i hope that not will be a simple F-15C or D Eagle with ONLY air to air mission... I wonder see the Apache, but the Mi24 can be nice too, and why not a AH-1, but for 3 of this aircraft ED must master dual seat cockpit with player + bot, Player alone and Player + Player. But what about EC665 Tigre ? or Mirage 2000, or JAS39 Gripen ? and other but not always US and Russian aircraft...

Its sad... But what is the real difference between a dedicated server and a server like we actually have but where the computer are only dedicated to this and with a nice connection speed finally ? For my idea of Dynamic Battlefield ok maybe its will be different, but i don't think ED Team will try to make it before long time (not before finish long list of work with future aircraft and other things and patch who will coming with anyways) but finally a simple official server who are using only for DCS Multiplayer with minimum (or disabled) graphic rending and good connection speed are possible and can give exactly the same result than other possibility ? or not ?

@MemphisBelle If ED make more visual effect and other things like that the sim will be more nice and attract more people and ED will win more money, same things for the SDK that we ask, SDK will permit to attract more people due to possibility and for a lot of things...And ED will win more money finally...The SDK are not short to create i know but visual effect like : _Better flame like that :p perfect example of a perfectly nice flame effect who don't take performance in the GPU same thing for the smoke and better explosion effect _Adding vapor on wings (i don't understand why we have the wing vortex vapor effect and not the big wing vapor effect) same mach cone vapor effect and corrected contrail who actually directly begin inside the reactor... _Change color for more realistic, when we look the simulator in black and white its hard to see if its a simulator or a real footage, the 3D are correct but the texture color are false (its the same for every simulator anyways) and adding the reflection effect with options -> disabled, on our aircraft, on every aircraft, on every vehicle.(cause the plastic effect are mainly caused by the missing reflection of light and missing mirror effect) Same thing for light effect/color from the sun who are false... _We just over that changing 3D model of three for a better with several level like that -> 2D tree (like in old video game, for little PC config) simplified, completed and completed + advanced for around airbase. A slider for choose the tree density and make tree collisionable, people with little config use minimum density with 2D tree and can finally see where the three are for multiplayer without make collision with invisible tree and for big PC config we can see better tree. _Change grass for new model like what we have in Rise Of Flight (that more cover the ground and look better) _Make new pilot body with nice and fluid head movement and animation (like Seven G) with interactive mission cards on the legs where we can directly write the information on it in the mission editor and with possibility to have custom page (for people who want help for checklist/start up or emergency procedure) and adding animation for ejection, (and change how the character interact on the ground cause actual are not really perfect) _And adding more airport life like : ground crew with nice and complex animation and more possibility of interaction with ground like choose for repair, choose weapon by weapon the loading see the ground crew who guide our aircraft like in real and adding firefighter force who can really rescues us and improved ATC for air AND ground ! Not long and not hard to do : Flame, explosion, smoke, vapor and contrail effect, new grass, new tree model with option and make it collisionable Long but not hard to do : Changing color for a more realistic in texture, 3D pilot model with animation and mission cards, ground crew 3D model with nice animation, new sun light color and effect And long and not easy work : Ground crew itself, firefighter itself, new ATC, integrated new tree in the simulator (i don't know if that can be easy or not to integrated it), reflection effect (light ray and mirror effect) with realistic color changing The first list of not long and not hard to do must be done faster as possible and the rest who are long and long & hard to do can wait a little but in the futur must do. With this changing the sim will become really better and attract a lot of new people for who the visual are important and ED Team will get more money. Its what i think... @Sobek possibility under Linux to use WINE ? i know its not perfectly stable, but if that work without crashing finally that can be a nice idea or not ? I propose that cause several people use WINE and can play DX game like native game finally and without crashing...

Yes i know i will take two anyways for other game, i can disabled Crossfire/LSE for DCS and other SIM who not yet take Multiple GPU in profile and 7970 and 680 are and will be a single GPU card

Or simply both, cause a lot of people will like this dynamic battlefield system but several other will want dedicated server without that. And if one server are down we can connect to the second. But my idea i great i think cause with simple mission and simple server the player number will be so many huge due to adventage to dedicated server by ED a lot of people will want to connect, with my idea its design for a lot of people finally... With simple mission and with actual system the number of player are limited and anyway if its not the mission will be done in 2 minutes cause we never will have a suffisent number of target without create the biggest ground target meeting ever ^^

Hi everyone. I looking for a new computer, when i can, i will buy a new PC with : Ivy bridge I7 3770k cooled by Noctua NH-C14, MSI Z77A-GD65, 4x4Go Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600 CAS 7, SSD Corsair Force GT 120Go for Windows and software who will start with Windows, 1To Western Digital Caviar Black dedicated for game who need good HDD and where i will install DCS and a lot of other HDD for storage...Inside the NZXT Phantom with additional fan, i think i can be easily able to overclock the CPU when i will want, the computer will be powered by OCZ ZX 1000w ! But initially i have planed to buy one (or two in Crossfire if i can) MSI HD7970 Lightning, its a monster card and for playing with Eyefinity (5760x1080 but with 22" 27" and 22" monitor (27" on the center) with eyefinity 2.0 correction capability) i will need two of them for playing without problem to any games. But now that the GTX 680 will coming and look powerful than a simple HD 7970 i don't know what do... Cause for every games two HD 7970 can easily give huge frame in eyefinity, but for simulation, mainly for DCS, what will be better ? MSI HD 7970 Lightning (the monster card who can be overclocked easily at huge frequency) and who are build to be perfect GTX 680 who are better but i don't know for DCS if it will be better... Or prey and hope that MSI will make the Lightning version of the GTX 680 for the date where the Ivy bridge will coming (cause i will use a big unboxing and review video for obtain view on my youtube channel for make know my music) I know that no one know the exact performance of the GTX 680 but maybe anyone know Nvidia card and know how that can be with DCS, mainly with the new technology announced by Nvidia or anything else... And if we forget the GTX 680 the configuration with the 7970 Lightning (crossfire disabled) with little overcloack can be great for DCS in eyefinity ? Thanks !

Thanks, my idea its based on two things. More realistic and for long term better solution than actual mission, thing more based on Dynamic Campaign but in multiplayer and where everything are useful, like drone, spy aircraft and other thing actually useless for actual mission. And two cause its sad to have a dedicated server and just do mission where people who are late will just don't have any target and where we just will have several mission cause ED have a lot of work and ED Team don't will have time to create us new mission and more, i think its finally better to have a system where we can really be a pilot with a career and not just do a simple flying without anything else, imagine you have you own aircraft and everytime you back to the server you keep every custom things like CM and weapon profile, seat position, sound setting, HUD customization and other thing in your aircraft and when your aircraft are damaged you have to wait a long time before he can fly again but you can take another aircraft or take another pilot account... And yeah simulation its another world compare to every other game/software sadly... But maybe ED will make things changing one day and be the first to create a different simulator with great things...

Funny !! DCS 737 !!! What about DCS KC-135 and DCS Cessna 150 ? :D We know that its a popular modern fighter, that can't be an F-4 or older aircraft, F-16, F-15 (C/D/E) and F-18 (C/D/E/F) can be the only choice i think !

I have write an error, MSI -> SLI, for multi GPU support, sorry. And 42 Yeah of course that was THE answer !!! I hope having an answer too !

Nice question, i planed to buy two MSI HD R7970 Lightning if i can, with Ivy Bridge configuration and i wonder know if for DCS an HD 7970 (OC or not) can with the new graphic engine be nice, and better than Nvidia. And question me too, do EDGE will take multi GPU solution like Crossfire and MSI ? And what will happen to Georgia ? new map for the new graphic engine ?

@Nate : Free cause i have think that it can be possible to see advanced aircraft in Flaming Cliff but like Sobek have told me finally that can only be a DCS aircraft and not a FC3 improved aircraft, but we already have the A10C and we will soon pay for DCS FL P51D Mustang, Flaming Cliff 3, Combined Arms, Nevada (i have buy the Beta version of DCS but other don't have) and after all that we will have the next official DCS aircraft too and maybe with EDGE graphic engine for compatibility between actual and planed with the next DCS aircraft maybe Combined arms 2, and finally that will beggin to be really expensive, but anyways if an A10A comming i will buy it =) Thanks for this information And thanks too for this info but yes its sad that its not planed, or not yet, maybe for the next DCS aircraft after it will be done and when after patch ED team will have time for do it. @Paulrkiii sorry my mistake, i want mean the C are more complexe than the A (the C are simply the A with a lot of upgrade like you know, but its not a new aircraft, the C can only be more complexe than the A finally =) I have mistake A and C when i have write that.... Several part of the avionic on the A10C can be downgraded for create simpliest version, the rest are not hard to write compare to the A10C and finally the flight model don't need to change cause it was the same aircraft with same reaction on the air, only the weight change but simple fact to adjust fuel do finally the same thing. I think ED team can finally do an A10A really fast and without wall of problems, but that finally depend of what its planed.

Wind, problem with your yaw axis with your game controler who rudder stay on the right or with the channel who control the right engine and who have less power than then left.

@MoGas Yeah the power of the Navy !!! @BIGNEWY Same for me !!! i wonder know what the next aircraft will be, mystery about that is useless and people who can build one can faster begin to build a simpit or a cockpit ! Anyways we can be sure that it will be an Hornet/Super Hornet, a Falcon or an Eagle/Strike Eagle !
