During the installation of the DCS: P-51D Mustang Beta I am presented with this option. Does it really mean "additional", as in, can I choose between the two flight models once I have installed the game, or am I forced into the simple flight dynamics if I select this option? Lost

I understand why I get this message when trying to install BS2 into DCS World, but the current solution is too simplistic. I sincerely hope there are plans to fix this problem for "upgrade" users so that we need not install BS1 first. For me, this means installing BS1 on another disk, installing BS2, then uninstalling BS1, which is a quite silly solution. Lost

Why is it "of course it will not be free"? Many developers provide free DLCs for their games long after their release. Quite frankly, it's a valid question. I do understand, however, why ED probably do not release it for free.

Thanks! Good reading and easy to read at that!

Why can't ED make it so that customers purchase a single BS2, check to see if the user has a BS1 serial, and give a discount if so?

Most of the information in the manual is not required to fly the A-10C, but some of it is essential, such as knowing how its hydraulic system, as well as other things you won't learn from just flying it.

Amazing! Good work!

Try zooming in our out. A map is probably not available for that resolution. :)

I wonder why ED didn't start with a standalone multiplayer server instead of working towards one. It's a lot easier that way.

As commanding ground forces means that (realistically) battles will take a lot more time now, this is something ED should look into, especially when/if they introduce resource-based campaigns.

This has bugged me. Good thing it is fixed, if it is what I think it is.

I live in a small shack on the south pole currently seeding through a 1991 GSM station. Enjoy!

When does the patch for BS2 and DCSW come out? I'm sick of symlinking my installations in and out of the SSD. :P

I'm just wondering which aircraft's HUD is in the default screensaver of the main menu in DCS World... :P

What is this really? Have you taken out the toad from FC and introduced it as a standalone aircraft which is the default for DCS World?

DACS:

The Hardly Boys...

Is it not squawk 7000 for VFR these days? 1200 is the legacy squawk.

You still won't be right even when the F/A-18 is released. Your argument boils down to whether you can decide what aircraft is next based on the current facts, which nobody can.

There are a tonne of these post doctor research guys that study these kinds of things all the time at universities all around the world. At my uni too (in Oslo) we have quite a few really interesting doctoral disputas where they have done a lot of research into subjects that could really help game tech leap forward. The problem, is that what you see in unis is usually far away from being practically applied (thus the term academic, look it up), and you have come to face the fact that there is almost always some side effect that would typically keep the tech from reaching the market. One such thing is technology, of course, as a lot of unis have special hardware and software to play with, along with tonnes of students that would gladly help out with research projects. Another thing, believe it or not, is patents. More and more unis are understanding that patents are really important, and being research organisations, they file patents all the time. Got a good idea for a PhD software framework? File a patent. A clever master student wrote some great, albeit not ground breaking code? File a patent. One of the professor IIs we have at my uni mostly works at Bell Labs in the UK, and I recall he said that during the course of a year it is common for a researcher to file between 3 to 5 patents. So if it really comes to the point where there is a great idea that can also be applied in practice, then on top of the practical problems there will at least be a couple of years before the idea can be used freely, because of the patents.

The next release will include the possiblity of adding custom audio on a user defined frequency. Not sure where I read it, but it has been said.

Loved the BS2 one. It suits the shark. It does remind me of the BF3 tune, though.

I think that the vietnamese war by far appeals to americans more than it does to most other countries, so to say it would bring a lot of customers is a fairly ignorant statement. To other nations, this war does not represent something they can relate to in a personal fashion, as it was mostly americans that were involved in it. I mean, nearly all the people that represent this game market have had their father or grandfather involved in the world wars in some way or another. Making a game about the vietnamese war would be similar to the falklands war. Why the vietnamese war is more justified, I think can be owed to hollywood and the many films about it. Vietnamese war era games? Boring if you ask me.

That video was posted here before. Spiller ingen rolle, HJ. ;)
