But who else does things like this? You dont see other game developers saying "we're working on something, but we're not going to tell you what it is, or when it's going to be released". I would think that announcing the next DCS aircraft would generate quite a bit of buzz around ED and the DCS-series. At least more than yet another version of Flaming Cliffs, a paid Black Shark update, and another aircraft that they wont tell anyone what is... I just think this is a weird way of doing business, another DCS-aircraft will probably attract more people to the series (especially if its a popular aircraft like the Hornet) and they might even check out Warthog and Black Shark while they are waiting, a new Flaming Cliffs version wont...

I dont know, maybe it's just the art style that I dont like, it looks too "cartoony" for me...

Maybe that's the trick to playing X-plane, to allways play at night... I dowloaded the demo, and while there are quite a few things there that I like, Im not sure I can get over how it looks..

Anyone see the virtual Solo Turk display? I didnt get to see it myself, and it doesnt seem to be available at the VFAT website. But Im really interrested in seeing how they did it using BMS.

No A-10, no F-16 and no Strike Eagle... 2012 is going to be a bad year for us airshows..

Some of my own shots from this year's airshow season.

Just a small tip, the cockpit interior isnt blue, its grey. I know it looks blue in the pictures found at the link you posted, but thats just because the photographer is using an incorrect white balance. In some of the other shots there you can see that it's grey :)

I like to do that as well, I love the combat aspect of the DCS- and FC-series, but most of the time I like to just fly and not do any fighting. That's why I really want an SDK so we can bring some more life to the sim...

I really like these videos, the Super Hornet ridealong is great as well... But I just cant get over what a tame display this is, guess Ive been spoiled by the European Hornet displays ;)

I agree, the 2d panels are horrible, and of course they are still there in XP10, there are 3d pits too though. The scenery is the best in the series, by far, but I still think it looks outdated and not very realistic..

Im not a big fan of the water either, but the carrier does look nice ;)

Im really liking this mod, is it perfect? No, but it is a lot better than any other Viper we have for FC. How's the paintkit coming along, John? Id really like to make some Norwegian paints for this. A couple of other things, I would prefer to use the F-15 flight model, how would I go about changing it? Id also like to be able to use smokewinders, which files do I have to edit to make this happen? I would also like some vapor effects if possible, I know they are hardcoded, but would'nt it be possible to map tjis to for instance the elevators?

Downloaded this the other day and I really like it, I never liked the default wing tip vapor either. This looks much better and much more realistic, thanks aaron :)

Okay, let me re-phrase that, I didnt mean that it wouldnt be up to the DCS standard, but that it was going to take a lot longer to get it to that standard because people are working on all kinds of other projects alongside the new DCS module. And as I said in my first post, I understand the need to get things out on a fairly regular basis to keep the cash flow going. But adding new projects all the time just gets me thinking that everything is going to take a lot longer...

I did, but saying that it's being worked on in parallel doesnt mean that its getting the same kind of attention that it would have gotten if it was their only project. ED is a relatively small company, unless something drastic has happened over the last few months, so Im guessing that there isnt a dedicated team working on just the new DCS-module, but that they are working on several projects at once. Which again means that things are going to take more time...

So, that probably means that when we finally get the US fixed wing fighter we'll have to wait for Warthog 2, Black Shark 3 and Flaming Cliffs 4 before they move on to the next one ;) Im not really sure what to think about this, I do of course see the need to get things out fairly regularly to keep the cash flow going, but I would prefer ED to focus on getting the next DCS module off the ground and not mocking about with new versions of Flaming Cliffs and what not.

Condor is great, although it looks a bit dated...

Do you have to place these objects with the mission editor, or are they incorporated into the scenery?

Great looking model, and its certainly about time the F-16 gets an update, the old model isnt exactly beautiful.

Hahaha, got you, I still have'nt worked up the courage to do so ;)

You should check you're calendar again, the A-10C beta was released in October last year, so it has'nt even been a year yet :P As for the rest of your questions, read the thread.

It looks sweet, but I was really hoping to see something more than just mountains, oh well, there's always next time ;)

News bulletin from MAKS, the Su-35 demo towards the end of the clip is sick...

This was a cool idea, but maybe you should have a list with the aircraft that have already been covered (and whether they have been deemed cool or uncool) in the first post as well :)

And that's why it would be great if someone who's figured out how to do it could share this with the rest of us *hint, hint* ;)
