Is 6 degrees of freedom cockpit planed for the Su-33, looks very similar to the Su-27 ? Is the Advanced Flights Models (AFM) on both the Su-25 and the FREE Su-25T "Frogfoot" ? Is there plans for interactive lessons like for the Su-25T "Frogfoot" for the different content in Flaming Cliffs 3 ? Really liking the new cockpits in FC 3, hope all content gets new 6 DOF cockpits and AFM. "New Advanced Flights Models (AFM) for the A-10A and Su-25. New AFM coming for the Su-27 and F-15C coming soon! New 6 degrees of freedom (6DOF) cockpit and model for the F-15C, A-10C and Su-27. New MiG-29 cockpit coming soon!" The 6DOF for the Su-25 is missing in the promo text, was that cockpit added later ? :pilotfly:

Trouble in the Steam DCS World :) So first I'm happy to fly the P-51D in DCS World :thumbup: But I have no luck activating my A-10C on Steam that I own from the DCS shop. It also seems that sens I got Black Shark 1 and then the upgrade to Black Shark 2 if I'm correct I have to buy it again to make it work in Steam DCS World ? I'm also a little confused with the flaming cliffs 3, was not the FC2 that I bought supposed to bring FC in to the DCS ? So to sum it up it looks like I'm buying the Black Shark 3 times and Lock On/FC 4 times :pilotfly: I don't mind paying for upgrades, like the upgrade to Black Shark 2 but having to re buy it for Steam seams a little nutty. And a 20$ upgrade from FC2 to FC3 sounds fair, but having to re buy the whole sim .......:doh:

Much better in the last video. 1: 54 - 1: 58 Sounds like the pitch is a little higher in real life. 0: 04 - 1. 06 0: 40 - 0: 42

I hope there's a lot more coming. Don't put to much info and task in each mission. And do lots of training in every scenario, progress. Landing part 1 : Sunny no wind lined up perfect. Landing part 2 : Sunny wind not lined up perfect. up till Landing part 10: Night, rain the Taliban is using you for target practise with RPGs and one engine is busted.

I think there on the right track with the training missions. Much better than Black Shark. But like I posted and just like you said "The key is to divide up the training and how it is covered". Don't put to much info and task in each mission. And do lots of training in every scenario, progress. Landing part 1 : Sunny no wind lined up perfect. Landing part 2 : Sunny wind not lined up perfect. up till Landing part 10: Night, rain the Taliban is using you for target practise with RPGs and one engine is busted.

I totally agree Total, except "but there's no way to (or sense in) simplifying things". Simplifying LEARNING makes all sense to me. And there's plenty of roads to take to achieve that. This is one example of that. http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2626185/STICKY_Tutorial_How_to_take_of.html Just a post on that subject. Not a post on lets make DCS an ARCADE game.

I know , and gave a big thumbs up on that yesterday. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=64573 Any step in making a hardcore sim easier to learn is a good thing in my book. I wold hate to see real talent all gone. Replaced by ARCADE style developer. Better to teach the masses the good stuff.

I don't disagree with just flying in beautiful weather. Brings back memories of the Cessna 206 I used to parachute from in Northern Sweden. Mmmmm those old TU and double L chutes.

And the mission realism : "The A-10 was used in combat for the first time during the Gulf War in 1991, destroying more than 900 Iraqi tanks, 2,000 military vehicles, and 1,200 artillery pieces. A-10s shot down two Iraqi helicopters with the GAU-8 cannon. The first of these was an Iraqi helicopter shot down by Captain Robert Swain over Kuwait on 6 February 1991, marking the A-10's first air-to-air victory." So change my Drone planes to Helicopters. But we can always go with the more realistic : "The A-10 also flew 32 missions in which the aircraft dropped propaganda leaflets over Iraq." If you think that would attract more begginers.

DCS should be all about pure simulation. But do you suggest ED print "go buy Lomac if your a beginner" on the reatal box. Not suggesting to mess with the sim in any way or dumb it down. This is an added feature. And as far as realism, I'm sure 1 or 2 off the A-10 pilots in a war zone had to get back on basic aviation.

This is not a problem for me (although I gotta admit not progressing fast in Black Shark). Just a suggestion to make the sim more beginner friendly. For the new to ED series. Less information overload. First training mission: Welcome to Basic training. I'm not letting you fly a new A-10C. Her's a beat up one, all the fancy stuff needs repair. Don't worry, still flies like a dream, and the gun works. Go blow up some drone planes and get back to me later for the theory training.

In iRacing you don't start with the F1 car do all the telemetry and go racing in the points series (all thow you could buy the F1 and go Fun series to mess around). Most likely you start in a simple rookie car with default settings. Still fun, still top notch sim physics modeling. Is it as fun as F1 with opponents ? Most likely in the F1 you end up hating iRacing, to hard.

If it is catered for - LockOn Flaming Cliffs 2 perfect. And yes maintain the fidelity of the product-line. Don't make a nonsense ARCADE mode that foster bad habits. Just a bare bones addition.

I'm sensing a tad of elitism. And frankly can't see more people buying the sim a bad thing. Don't spend tons of dev time on it. Don't make a crappy "ARCADE" version. Just a quick to get into, minimalistic addition.

So more money for the dev is a NO ?

"I dont get your point/what you want.." A quick fun easy to make addition to the sim so there's broad mass appeal. Increased sales, bigger better things for the sim in the future.

I would enable the bare minimum you need for flying.

NOTHING "ARCADE". No simplified "flight characteristics". No simplified targeting. Just minimalistic. Think "IL2 Forgotten Battles" in modern planes.

I think you all missed this part. "Simple but not "Arcade". Online playable." There's tons of crappy "Arcade games".

A minimalist version included in sim. Think "IL2 Forgotten Battles" in modern planes. Same flight characteristics. No electronics, black out almost all gauges but keep the basic in same place. Only Gun and rockets. Simple but not "Arcade". Online playable. To get the masses,with a separate forum. A game within the sim. Almost all the work is done, black out most in cockpit. Do the same for Black Shark. There really is not much like that on the market. A bridge from "Arcade" to sim. Making ED lots and lots of money.

I really like the highlighted buttons. For me lots of easy training missions would be perfect. Focus on 1 thing pare mission. Drone planes easy to down just to learn, unprotected ground targets. The 'Dead Vally" mission from BS with no enemy resistance to learn flying in mountain terrain. I wold like to see 10 training missions for each category, 4 super easy, 3 medium, 3 hard. I can't get the hang of Black Shark, but if this type of training missions got in to Black Shark 1.02 with highlighted buttons and super simple training, I think you wold sell allot more.

Thanks for the help Bucic (I'll need A LOT trying to FLY this thing lol). I think its got something to do with just the Gauges in cockpit. And its not the end of the world, I just don't back camera to far back. Strange thing is, backed out to blur, a different angel sometimes fix it. My totally uneducated guess it's got to do with the glass on the gauges, they looks crisper in Lomac and Flaming Cliffs 2. I't could also be that they modeled from old looking gauges with older glass and a little of "That Faded, Vintage, Look".

Think its a BUG. Backing out camera and at close to max, cockpit guages goes blurry. All settings.

Win 7 / 64

Hi All Is there a trick to get higher resolution in cockpit ? Think the highest in menus is 1280. The cockpits in Flaming Cliffs 2 look sharper. My native is 1680 - 1050.
