OB1

Cooperative multiplayable positions ! Personally is the only one I care about

I don't see a problem with this, it should be encouraged. In my community when we schedule organised coop nights for Arma2/3 we have a SAR on standby. I myself have volunteered for this role in the past and sometimes the SAR does nothing for hours. However it is still enjoyable listening to the com chatter and just simply being apart of the entire operation. Other rolls such as transportation consist of players just driving trucks and supplies around, you might think how can that be fun but some people actually enjoy it so don't be so quick to dismiss a mundane task if you don't like it. Granted Arma2 and 3 is a far more intimate game than DCS but if SAR is added at least its a start and can only lead to greater development achievements for DCS in the future, and ultimately a greater game. More features = better.

As long as it is an option you can toggle, and can be forced off via server side for multiplayer missions set in ww2 I'm all for it :)

The Su-15 and most certainly the Mig-25 are legends, yet not on the poll..

P-51 a contemporary aircraft ? how old are you ? lol its cirtainly not contemporary for me. 25 years before the time of the P-51 some pilots were still throwing bombs over the side by hand :D

Well the training manual doesn't give you any information how to bomb but it is an interesting read anyway... I guess official training back in the day was by an instructor and hands on training, not much reading material for that kind of thing... The lack of targeting aids for bombing in the P-51 means that it restricts your bombing methods.. Pretty much leaves you with 2 methods, dive and dive loft/toss bombing.. Dive is self explanatory, dive at your target at a steep angle and release and the bomb, the bomb follows the last attached angle of attack of your aircraft to the target, *roughly* if on a not so steep angle release a little later to compensate for ordnance drop. Dive lofting is when you dive at the target at a not so aggressive angle and pull up just before releasing the bomb to compensate for bomb trajectory drop. It was not an exact science in those days, just release the bomb when you think its about right.. :D

Only will work if you can modify the fuse for time delay detonation. Don't think they have an interface to customize your load out yet.

Here These are legitimate, not the same as what I have but its got the BF109 !

It was a long time ago, had a bit of a look but where ever I got them from doesn't seem to exist anymore.... Starting to think these were a real bargain. Think I paid ~250 for them. Well anyway lets see if its any good to ED....

Many years ago I bought them in the pipe dream that I would reconstruct an accurate RC model... What can I say, I got busy... Anyhow these digital docs are marked with a copyright instruction, no digital distribution or resale is allowed so to cover my ass from the original distributors I would have to gift it to ED and lose it. :( or would I ? hmmm digital copies are soo flakey these days :D

Just remembered when I fist saw this thread, took me a while rummaging through my stuff but I have in my possession extensive documentation of the following Fw 190 A-8 Bremen Fw 190 D-9 Bremen Ta 152 H Bau The documentation consists of hi resolution scans of the original factory manuals, construction drawings, engineering manuals and drawings.. Total of 2GB worth of docs. Pretty much everything you need to know to make your own A8 and D9 but only limited documentation on the Ta.. Sooo If they want my stash they can pm me...

Because of my past experiences with EA/Origin I will try my hardest NOT to support them, they are a bunch of ********. ED keep producing products and I will always buy direct. Good for me and good for ED.

This game needs a twin seater so I voted yes ! Put another poll up with a fixed wing twin seater and i'd vote yes to that too !

If a fighter > FW190... But Dora ? hmm I'm kinda fond of the A8 and A9 If it can be a multi-seat miltiplayer aircraft > SBD Dauntless or TBF-C1 for some fun carrier ops. If it can be a jet > F4 Phantom all the way... and a carrier to go with it.

I really really really hope so. It is my #1 wish. The test will be the AH-64 if and when they make it, what I would Like to see is multi-playable Pilot and CPG. Where the CPG can take controls off the Pilot for runs with the FFARs or if the Pilot is incapacitated. I have some friends eagerly awaiting for such a thing to test if and when it is released. :joystick::joystick:

And support for online multiplayer with B-17 Cooperative full crew complement ! :D

Make a separate division and replace IL2, The quality of DCS flight models and modeling would kick ass and you would also gain the IL2 community. :pilotfly:

I suppose everyone is different, I personally started from scratch and learned using those tutorials, this is why I have an affinity towards those tutorials, Within a week I was comfortable and confident with the aircraft. For the diehard enthusiast or people that have a background in aviation may find the tutorials rudimentary but for those that are not need to start somewhere. The tutorials may seem a waste of effort if they are only used as a stepping stone but it is a necessary stepping stone... A strong tutorial and minimizing the effort for research and learning may help the DCS community grow, as I have seen countless people give up before they can even begin to enjoy it... Im just lucky enough to enjoy the learning curve... :pilotfly: BTW The tutorials in A-10 are excellent for the noob ! As not everyone has the resources / documents to study up on....

yeah kinda feel its not good enough for a dev team I hold in such high regard. The original first release had one, was it so hard for them to modify it to suit the new one??, Must be hard for any new players starting from scratch to learn from those vids..

I think your missing the point. Its about accidentally pulling the fire handle when your clicking around the cockpit with your mouse.. I must admit I have accidentally pulled the handle a few times but I have not done It for a while.. Play long enough and you become more and more careful pushing buttons.. Suffice to say I have gotten used to it.. But I thing a 1 sec hold feature would be ok, even better if it was optional. Either way I wouldn't complain, I have gotten good at flying the aircraft with 1 hand while the other is clicking buttons..:joystick:

Interesting..... :book:

they could release 10 at a time !!! they just need 10x the staff :D

yeah, all in all I'd be happy with just about any aircraft DCS model, I'm not the biggest fan of the A-10 but I still enjoyed learning and flying the aircraft. I personally would like to see a Russian Mig or Su for the next installment even though they are considered the underdog compared to US aircraft I just cant help feel a certain affinity towards Russian derived hardware... Possibly because I like a challenge, flying an underdog with a high probability of random failures and the constant feeling it may fall apart around you :joystick:

So what soviet aircraft would threaten the topics western aircraft's in maneuverability ? Mig-29, Su-27 or maybe an old Mig-21 fishbed ? edit: just found an awesome youtube flick

After this little discussion I think the Mig-25 would be fantastic if DCS would model it... I can just imagine it in multilayer where over zealous pilots going supersonic to intercept a target just to realize they cant slow down and about to explode hehe :D
