While you are indeed correct, you could say that about pretty much any aircraft, except the A-10 and the Ka-50 :P

Yes, they flew their last flight yesterday, now its gone...

The F-117 is still classified Im afraid, so any F-117 sim would be based on guess work. But it would indeed be an interesting aircraft to fly :)

Im not expecting Jet Thunder to be of the same fidelity as any DCS module, but that's okay. Im just happy that I get to fly the Harrier :D

I agree that it seems a bit backwards that you have to pay more if you buy all three releases separately, but I really want to fly the Harrier, so Im sure Ill buy all three releases when they are released.

No, I dont think there will be a 2010 release, but I dont mind, I still have the beta to play. The only negative thing with a 2011 release is that its going to take even longer until we get whatever comes after the Hog ;)

I never had any really problems with the people that play BFBC2, but then again, I only play on hardcore servers, maybe there are more "idiots" on the regular servers.

Im getting this, BFBC2 was awesome, and I cant really see how "moving" BFBC2 to Vietnam can go wrong ;)

Im still keeping my fingers crossed for a fighter, or a multiroll aircraft, but to be honest Im happy as long as we dont get another dedicated ground attack aircraft... What Id actually love to see, somewhere down the line, after they have done the F-16, F/A-18, F-15 and whatnot, is something like a Black Hawk or another transport helicopter. It would be really cool to fly into a hot LZ to pick up troops while you get air cover by A-10s ;)

I agree, and I hope that we will see this in the final release :)

Hehe ;) I know Im aiming high, and that's why I said that I dont expect to see it in the near future. Although it does look like Free Falcon already have some effects similar to what I posted.

Probably not, but there are other things than tanks that catch fire in Warthog ;)

Id love to see smoke like this, and not just the small smoke columns that we get now... But I guess we're quite a bit away from seeing effects like this.

Alot of what you are mentioning is already in the game, but I do agree that things like animals would really add to the immersion of actually flying around in a living, breathing world. And this is something the community could do, if given the tools of course...

I was a bit disappointed by the graphics in beta 1 as well, but now I think it's really starting to look great. There are still things that could be better, and there probably always will be, but Id say that we're starting to see the start of something awesome.

You dont even have to do that, the engines, and all the avionics can be started with a keyboard short cut, meaning that you only have to push one key to start everything up. Have a look at Glowing Amraam's promo trailer for Flaming Cliffs Platinum:

Just follow the train tracks and you're bound to find one sooner or later ;)

Sounds like a bet to me ;) I do get where Mizzy is coming from, I too enjoy just flying around from time to time. But I dont think there's any chance of getting another flyable in Warthog.

Looking good, how do you go about putting things like buildings, trees and so on into your scenery? Can you use your own models?

That's awesome! Great to hear that it actually is as realistic as "they" say ;)

That looks like the hypoxia effect you get when you go too high without oxygen. Maybe you were running low on oxygen?

The torrent works now ;)

Its not about bashing anyone or anything, I think everyone on these forums, including me, love the effort that ED puts into their products. I have bought every ED product since the original Flanker, and I will continue buying everything they release. I was merely stating that I think its about time that they update the sceneries, just like they have started to update the aircraft models.

Im sorry to say that I agree with you, toby, the DCS series is really let down by the rather poor sceneries. Considering the incredible looking sceneries that you can get for sims like FSX, it is really sad to see the DCS series lag behind... Now we finally have some better looking water effects, but unfortunately they are no where near what you get with for instance Real Environment Extreme. And yes, I know that ED has one hell of a job with getting the flight model and avionics as realistic as possible, and that maybe the scenery is less of a priority, but then again, they good just release the tools to the community and let us make the sceneries our selves... (and yes, I know they have been released for BS and FC).

Nope, they havent been implemented yet :)
