LoL, Yeah I count on over a thousand replies as to every rivet, grease nipple, and blade count on each turbine has and dont forget to check the bilge pump....... me awaits with trembling. As I service F-35 PC variants here at the DCS Maintenance Hanger R101 :megalol:

DCS - F-35 and Carrier Ops Hello gents LoL, Well look I will be the first to say, hell yeah, I want realism! Please, I do not make light of that and yes all the research hours implementing code for weapon systems and AFM + FM is the main objective. It is not to detract, diminish and bring to a stop the attempts to develop realistic simulation of air combat air crafts. Although to exclude jets like the F-35 because not enough real unclassified data is also wasted opportunities and the fun one could have. I'm also quite aware of the simulated development difficulties having been in sim world long enough and have read enough Forum posts on all pov's to know exactly what it entails, and believe me I have and am in various Forums watching reading and posting in many discussions on flight sims which are a dying breed of gaming which needs livening up. But some people desire the impossible in air combat simulation requesting things by which there is no data to go by other than simply developing a basic mock systems that will do the job yet provide enough fun and realism pilot input instead of scraping the project. Better to settle for something than nothing and improve over time. How best to do this by acknowledging or bridging the gap between both worlds of flight gaming / simulation. This might mean even an arcade level, semi simulation and full realistic simulation pulling in a younger crowd. Its about market growth and allowing DCS to be a market leader in Flight Air Combat gaming would be the end goal. Point is here, its been done by FSX gents, get it here ............ http://indiafoxtecho.blogspot.com.au/2013/10/f-35-lightning-ii-version-230-limited.html So now add it/develop it to DCS Series as a Combat Air Craft again at this level.......... ......... it would be great in a growing inventory of jets that are improved over time. Then add Theaters of WAR in Single Player and Multi Player with Dynamic Campaigns ( http://www.lead-pursuit.com/downloads/understanding_the_campaign.pdf ) and Unity3D or Edge Project..... also http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZIY622nOVk :thumbup: How awesome would that be, right! As for other air craft would love to see a SU-47 Berkut believe it or not, amongst many other air craft at a DCS level. Flight sims need all the help it can get and to embrace more is not less its just enticing the market getting the starters and newbies up to speed as they move up in the sim world. Lets not just make it a one way street. Wishing the best for DCS and simmers for years to come......... :beer:

Agree, there seems to be this freaked out idea or fascination that every rivet, grease nipple and screw must be in place, with every nations variant. Plus every techno gadget that is and will forever be deemed "Classified - Top Secret" until the aliens arrive and share new knowledge as to how to traverse the skies. How are we ever to achieve and see an Air Combat sim with those mentalities and not enjoy the pleasures of a combat sim that can develop into further in its progression. You do what you can should be the "Motto", and common sense for the rest! LoL The FSX model is not bad sure it needs improvements, but you gotta start somewhere and build on that right. ie. first release Beta then Final followed by updates.......... etc ( Mind you its Free - http://indiafoxtecho.blogspot.com.au/2013/10/f-35-lightning-ii-version-230-limited.html ) The same would be said for a DCS F-16C and F/A-18A/C/D etc ......................... :doh: Just start somewhere .............. Please

DCS F-35 hell yeah and a Carrier Ops variant Well i back up the effort and many that love this bird would buy it! Dino Catteano's FSX F-35 is very impressive as is. You can drop bombs and fire Aim120's. imho, plenty info just guys gota work together and share the knowledge I think. I also support this effort :thumbup:

well fella's after reading several threads only to come back to this one again and say.............. for the ............ http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=future%20of%20gaming&sm=12 So its the............ http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-M5pbP3qnEx0/T4VbzxP4_sI/AAAAAAAAARU/hxidcj78AC0/s1600/The_waiting_game_logo.jpg

RAZBAM DCS AV-8B Harrier Audio Production Hi, This will be an awesome addition to DCS all the best take your time but keep us informed. Its like a cake in the oven :chef: Patience......... LoL Neat video, sounds sweet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCaOuduogSw Cheers

Hi M8, well depends what you want out of any sim Check this Get it here http://www.vrsimulations.com/tacpack.htm Also visit the VRS Forum http://forums.vrsimulations.com/forums/phpBB3/ Then FSX@WAR http://fsxwar.net/index.php?lang=en (USE - Google Translate) Its a WIP and soon to be released as Freeware but coming with Dynamic Campaign and a host of other treats, just browse the net and check out Youtubes to find what you like. So depends what you want personally, I have a mix of commercial aviation add-ons and combat + Scenery and so on FSX is huge on add-ons by community and 3rd party devs so hard to say what is your taste. I suggest load up all the Dino Cattaneo Freeware stuff first http://indiafoxtecho.blogspot.com.au/ Then browse thru this thread till your hearts content http://simviation.com/1/front-page Enjoy :thumbup:

Hi thats just getin beta all the time. I'm hoping he continues with the F-35 A/B/C variants and adds high end carriers ops like VRS TACPAC and some good weapons employment. Then i'm hoping for FSX@WAR as well eventually. F-35 Dropping Bombs & Firing Missiles http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1KMeOpoVNI FSX@WAR (Read the comments) Thxs for the update. Cheers

DCS ATC and Air Base Management Module, Yes Please! Hi, I agree, especially as we start seeing more Air Craft Models and A.i. ones. More like FSX VATSIM ............... This would be kool for ground operations approach and departure management......... imagine a DCS squadron or fleet of air craft departing to mission or Red Flag exercise i.e..... Globemaster III, F-18's, AC-130's, Huey's, B-2 Spirit so on. :thumbup: This would be for Single Player and Multi-Player with more advanced A.i. Coding as I simply prefer Single Player at this stage. Cheers, :beer:

DCS F-18C w/ Carrier Ops & F-16C USAF adding Theaters w/ Dynamic Campaigns! Well imho F-18C and F-16C.............. Then add for Single Players.............. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=64161 Simples .............. :thumbup: ........ Edit.......... I just found these NICE! http://youtu.be/1qTxdss4Mtc :clap_2:

Time for DCS Seriers SP Theaters with Dynamic Campaigns to Own the Trade Name! Oh yeah thats right I agree, Edge effort or Unity3D would be kool I mean just imagine Single Player Theaters of WAR with Dynamic Campaigns as per my post here http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1936400&postcount=896 But with new GFX engine like these videos.......... :thumbup: Unity3D GFX Engine http://youtu.be/wZIY622nOVk there web link http://unity3d.com/ Edge GFX Engine Link here http://www.ign.com/boards/threads/dcs-new-edge-graphics-engine-video-60-autumn-sale.453376113/ This post is worth reading............ http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1946433&postcount=73 I mean I'm sick of the .......... http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-M5pbP3qnEx0/T4VbzxP4_sI/AAAAAAAAARU/hxidcj78AC0/s1600/The_waiting_game_logo.jpg :doh: You would think now with FreeFalcon gone DCS would jump at the idea!?!?!?! I MEAN HOW MUCH CASH WOULD ED - DCS need for each SP Theater with 3 Dynamic Campaigns in each Theater. We customers will pay.............. CLARIFICATION OF TERMS USED IN AIR COMBAT SIMULATORS Now terms like “Theaters, Campaigns, Missions, Battlefield, Artificial Intelligence, (A.i), Warfare” .....… etc are not owned by any game title including Microprose/Atari Falcon 4.0 but the very essence of anything relating to military defense and strategy games. Some links to read:- Military (Theaters )Warfare:- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_theater Military Wars:- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War Military (Campaign) Warfare:- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_campaign Artificial intelligence (video games):- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artific...video_games%29 "No Game Title” or “EULA” owns those terms legally! They are concepts or descriptions and they are found in every video game that’s based around WAR as per say. i.e. * Call of Duty * Battlefied4 * HAWX 1&2 * FSX@WAR Add-on * ED-DCS A10-C ............... Even your own Campaign Mission Editor - "Georgian Theater of War"! …………………… for example and many more games use those terms. Now going back to my discussion its more of a “Please” will DCS develop more “Theaters of WAR with Military Campaigns" that have been fought “Historically or Theoretical" scenarios in Modern WAR Theaters. This is what makes a great Combat Sim game and I prefer Single Player with Multi Player capable. The discussion is evolving from an undefined “GFX Engine” to a defined “GFX Engine” that DCS is moving with, and these are questions yet to be answered as many here or customers of your product would love to know about. That is the intents and purposes of the “EDGE GFX Engine” and how that will develop with DCS. Military Historical and Theoretical Wars:- * Vietnam * Taiwan * Balkans * Korean * Afganistan * Israeli - Yom Kipor * Iraq – Operation Desert Storm * Europes Fall * Libyan Crisis ……………… just to name a few, with so many possibilities, the creativity here is as far as the imagination of developers! Thats why many others as myself use this link as an example to illustrate what can be done in a DCS Series ( DSC Theaters with Dynamic or Advanced A.i Campaign) ......... [ame=http://www.lead-pursuit.com/downloads/understanding_the_campaign.pdf]http://www.lead-pursuit.com/download...e_campaign.pdf[/ame] Also this is a kool read ............... [ame]http://www.stanford.edu/dept/HPS/TimLenoir/Publications/Lenoir-Lowood_TheatersOfWar.pdf[/ame] So I hope I have raised a better argument for discussion for DCS Theaters of WAR with Dynamic Campaigns say 3 per Theater. Also suitable GFX Engines and direction, its really a critical part to Air Combat that has been missing for a long time now. You got to expect from people either buying this product or using it to ask probing questions about development plans with thoughts and expressions and referencing other products to some respectable sense. Its only natural that people are curious and desire more from this product. The point is about developing more "DCS Theaters of WAR" with at least three A.i Dynamic Campaigns, that's what people enjoy in Combat Simulators! I hope that reads better and discussion taken for what it is in this Thread! Maybe this development section creating Theaters for DCS could be allowed as open source or some sort of Community Project arrangement using a plug-in and modeling tools and submit that to DCS Developers, whilst the DCS Source code still remains guarded and private.................. just some kind of open door to develop further what the DCS community would like. Well just sharing out loud, no harm in that I guess! Cheers, :beer:

Its Time for DCS Series to own the " ( SP ) Theater Dynamic Campaign Trademark"! Hi,First I will say “My Wallet is Wide Open” if a DCS Theater sold for say $25.00 or $50.00 or even $100 to begin with it would be fair and I would say the same for enthusiasts that appreciate the tradition of Falcon 4.0 Dynamic Campaign Engine primarily in Single- Player and able to be played in LANS and Multi-Player scenarios in Squadrons or some kind of operational 24/7 server (DCS WORLD etc). Well I have spent some time reading this thread again and also spent time reading this other thread http://forums.eagle.ru /showthread.php?t=109642 …. Fantastic yes please. And I also have recently learnt that there will be a F-18C and E variant by Cortex Designs. This would be what most have been desiring in various combat sim Forums for a long time now. The guys I fly with and as an individual single player prefer SU-33’s and a F-18 variant for Carrier Ops fully clickable functioning cockpits. Then just add a F-16C Block 50/52 USAF variant and allow for modifications thru community input for other variants to be created over time. Olé little me enjoys greatly the Falcon 4.0 experience of Single Player Dynamic Campaign this Link might encourage the thought and inspiration http://www.lead-pursuit.com/downloads/understanding_the_campaign.pdf Now with the sad : ( end to FreeFalcon Single-Player Dynamic Campaigns which will be even more so treasured and envied or desired in the DCS Series that’s a given now. So I would say this thread is going to get longer as time goes by its at 900 replies and growing. Pfft if that ain't indication of where the $$$$$'s really are for DCS management! :doh: I cant further insist hard enough that Theaters of WAR with Dynamic Campaigns is absolutely necessary for DCS Future Potential as WAR Air Combat Simulator! :pilotfly::joystick: This would be the cry of all Combat Flight Simmers remember its about “AERIAL WARFARE”! :smilewink: Maybe better to develop a round global scenery map like XPlane or FSX. With a new improved GUI for DCS and you select a Theater or Nation and a WAR scenario either historical or fictional. I also like the idea of A.i improvements utilizing modern terrain 3D content as tactical and strategic advantages and feature graphical pleasure. Also being able to fly in a A.i squadron with other air craft ie. Bombers and Fighters in a support mission for example. Single Player is important skills and rank that you build and learn in your own time that will further build a pilot into War Campaign or multi-player scenarios not forgetting squadrons. Proper A.i training a play as you learn as a conceptual method of development should also be incorporated and developed further through A.i training from a cadet pilot to a rank commissioned pilot similar to the Falcon training missions but more A.i involved with a RIO and WSO would be the treats i would be looking for. Look honestly maybe time for a merger of Flight Simulator Developers to come together and get it done building it block by block. Maybe contact these guys via the links…… https://github.com/FreeFalcon http://seveng-f18.com/ http://tactical.nekromantix.com/arma2/pmc_somalia.php/f4/index.php http://www.prepar3d.com/ http://www.x-plane.com/desktop/home/ ............etcetra Dont know just thought to inspire and encourage the idea, because in my own head-space I really cant comprehend individual attempts to recreate what Microprose accomplished with Falcon 4.0 or the Janes Series whats the point just merge and build the darn monster of a air combat sim, Final! Just way to many attempts and yet failing to deliver, so why not just merge and see it at that to successfully accomplish the task, Final! Allied Falcon and FreeFalcon had some really nice Theaters to offer its time for this to happen with the DCS Series because Falcon 4.0 is dying to many splits in development and the lost art of creating Single Player Theaters has almost brought Falcon to a halt sadly. Its really up to DCS to pick up the pieces and own the “Dynamic Campaign Trade Name” and “Finally Keep It in the DCS Series for Ever”! Theater List ………………….. http://tactical.nekromantix.com/arma2/pmc_somalia.php/f4/theaters.php How To's....................... http://tactical.nekromantix.com/wiki/doku.php?id=falcon4:campaign "So Lets Do It, Already!" Mission Editors and Tactical Engagement Builders are great for creating your own tactical environment but a Theater of WAR based on a Dynamic Campaign is exactly what real life military personnel plan and deliver with strategic planning utilizing assets and combat pilots. To say that in a home based simulator a Mission Editor or Tactical Engagement Builder is sufficient is not to fully grasp what we are here for in a Air Combat Flight Simulator. I would say with modern gaming becoming the norm in most house hold’s with new tech, DCS not incorporating Dynamic Campaigns would be at a miss and not aligned with what users desire in a aerial combat sim. So if it requires more funding and more code work to be written then lets start moving. Lets not allow Single Player Theater Dynamic Campaigns to just die. Please, I personally don’t favor multi-player junkie sims but more the treats you can get in a game categorized as a “Air Combat Study Simulator”!Like the game of Chess its popularity and even its game strategy concept is still as good as its day of conception and adopted by the masses throught the decaded even adopted by military strategistist. The whole online squadron approach is great when you have freedom of time to follow full length mission trips here’s where the niche of Single Player Theaters of War with Dynamic Campaigns really hits the mark. Its there when you want it in your own allocated time and dive into the Study of War Theory Strategems and Doctrine, to deny this is not really to understand the very foundation of what is Defense Forces around the world and WAR itself. To further assist the direction of Single Player Theaters and Dynamic Campaigns some people might want to look into "The Art of War - Sun Tzu"................. http://www.puppetpress.com/classics/ArtofWarbySunTzu.pdf Still heavily used till today, it never fails.............. Watch............. http://www.mediafire.com/view/p72kwkp62ld2lwc/The%20Art%20of%20War%20Sun%20Tsu%20Full%20Documentary.%20(Educational)..mp4 *** "Falcon 4.0 Single Player Theaters with Dynamic Campaigns will forever remain the Golden Lampstand by which all Combat Flight Simulators will judged by"! *** Thats been said by all in the know! So, time has come for DCS Series to own the Theater Dynamic Campaign Development Trademark, to start at least! Its Desperately Needed! ***

Hi Hadwell thanks good response, Not only that but your conquering thru attrition and you and your squadron are scoring Rank and points into the next day. Without having to type a full study on WAR Theory and Strategies as well as War Tactics on Theaters of WAR with Dynamic Campaigns which are very much part of what air defense is and certainly should be developed for DCS Series being a "Combat Simulator/Strategy Game"! I no longer wish to debate or discuss so much the whole Theater concept but post is more about getting the Developers of DCS in this post and seriously taking it to the next level or CREATING a "NEW THEATER IN DEVELOPMENT POST". Adding more air craft also would add to the beauty of the sim. Simply a solid Start on this would be very exciting as a paying customer! Please DCS! ** Also as for incomplete post above my text was wiped off or deleted weird then I came back end typed again. Weird not fussed! So my wallet is wide open again certainly I would pay big dollars for DCS Theaters. Well I leave it that with hope that Developers of DCS will eventually take action. Well on topic of Theaters/Campaigns watch enjoy........ Gulf War - Desert Storm Campaign........... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsncQ6O4wYw]www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsncQ6O4wYw[/ame] Regards

Hi thought to come back again expecting a good answer, I certainly don't understand the above response. Will move on and request again to open the discussion once more................ Honestly now, whats needed is a serious post from the DCS Developers in knuckling down and producing Theaters with Dynamic Campaigns as discussed here http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1833798&postcount=863 You have 87 pages of pretty much around about way that it will, might, kinda, possibly might happen but nothing to be seen in Forum. Again my wallet is widely open say at a wopping $50 to $100 a Theater with 3 Dynamic campaigns and state of the art GFX. But instead we have 87 pages wasted Forum space,again I dont pop in here much asking and requesting but DCS now has been around long enough to measure the customer satisfaction stick as per se. Seriously time to start with one Theater as a WIP and churn others out there after. It is an Aerial Combat Simulator right certainly needing a Theater of WAR to fly into combat. I really hope this chat gets positive attention for something that will add value for years to come to the DCS series but until then this thread will continue in want......................... Kind Regards, Wraith

Hi all Firstly don't visit here much but this thread catches my attention all the time. I also agree instead of wishlist and just general long winded post discussion's, just milking the whole idea. Should go from possibility to a serious thread on a development path, is what should be considered. For example........... http://tactical.nekromantix.com/f4/falcon-4-pmc-theaters.php OR........................... - Korea - Balkans - Israel - Panama - Libya - Afghanistan - Iran - Vietnam - Nevada - Redflag Operations working with JTACS for "Precision Bombing" (PB) strikes etc etc - Taiwan - Iraq - Aegean - Mediterranean - Spain - Guam - Hawaii I would pay easily between $50 to $100 per Theater with 3 Dynamic Campaigns, they are worth there wait in Gold thats been proven time and time again..............to ignore this is simply miss approach to what DCS could really BE! My wallet is wide open, for such a treat in the DCS series! With awesome upgrade Terrain GFX engine like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afFb2JU45gA ........... for each Theater nice......:thumbup: Also adding more air craft with full click-able cockpits further enhancing the sim. Its the personal enjoyment without having to be a multi-player junkie is whats really great about single player Theaters of WAR as your up against A.i order of battle and manage the battle space. Although any future development of Theaters should consider MP and SP alike..... they are both equally vital to a Simulator! Please DCS start development!:book: Kind Regards, WRAITH

Hi yeah I get ya I guess we want it all now, please provide us with FUN immediately.....LoL I just love all jets! I was reading up on the SU-35BM recently and searching for info on its improvements.
