clod with the TF addon has turned into the best flight sim currently....there is nothing to do in DCS anymore till new maps or airframes are released.... ...ATAG and TF have a stable mp with 100 aircraft + AI flights everyday...... ...I'm a DCS fanboy, but I will say it anyways....ATAG and Team Fusion have made Cliffs of Dover the game it was meant to be....CLod, BMS, and DCS is what we have to work with...and DCS is losing playablitly with me till something new gets released.... on a side note DCS is setting itself up to be the greatest Fight Sim ever..Grimes is refining the scripting system and making it user friendly...More airframes are getting developed...the ground war is getting fleshed out with user controlled stuff....map making has been hinted on....but till this stuff gets released....its the same old stuff we had back when FC2 was around +2 new helos.... BMS is leading the way with A2A engagments (anyone who wants to ripple fire AMRAAMs at 30 miles need to play BMS, not FC3) and comms (IVC)...and their mp is stable and very organized...deadly flak...massive war....to bad its losing the eye candy race...it really is a bad ass game once your eyes stop bleeding

...they're not done making this game yet...god...I want my money back too... ...if its not released in two weeks, I'm going to hold my breath and stomp my feet till all of you people stop what your doing to point and laugh at me...that will teach you to mess with me... ...I'm going back to Hello Kitty Online(best pvp ever) till you people get your s*^t together...

If I made a video of every helo I crashed, the internet would crash... ...that is a pretty fancy way to destroy a virtual piece of multi million dollar equipment though... ...but I find doing loops/barrel rolls around the power lines while also slaloming in between the power poles with a beer in one hand and smoke in my eye from my cigarette a more satisfying way to pretend I'm a crash victim at a Russian air show...but...to each his own...

old topic...we need to make a search function for these forums....oh wait...

I think Beczl is the one to answer this...He has posted lots of images of model upgrades that he is working on...I'm just waiting for the chance to get them in my game also... p.s. He may have already touched on this subject in the MiG forum Back on the O.P. topic......I think CA in the WWII setting is a must.....I need a flak gun...matter of fact....I need a battery of flak guns.....and a tiger tank....now you know what to get me for chirstmas..

releasing models instead of modules is kinda hard to do without doing it for free (which I don't think Beczl should have to do...even though his BS1 upgrades were awesome).....it only takes one person to make a torrent and Beczl doesn't get paid for such wonderful stuff....the models are alot harder to copyright protect then an official module (some items are to be linked with his MiG21 release for this reason i would guess)...then what of the ppl that don't have the upgrade...do they not see the new objects...or do they see them for free and just not get to control them.....lots of questions on how to release a working model or texture upgrade for money.....not many answers....the addition of new object that aren't currently in the game are the tricky ones, and how does it effect ppl without the addon???

the autostart is a bug that should be erased.....starting all the systems is the best way to learn what everything is....plz do yourself a favor and delete the Ralt+win command....

For the love of god, plz think of combined arms when building this stuff...I want control...

yes....

^....weather engine handled by ED and the new EDGE....no need to ask RRG to re-invent the weather.....

the old map is not going to work with EDGE (goodbye Black Sea, I will miss you).....so I would expect Nevada is for DCS:World and Normandy for DCS:WWII (should be the same game , just a different time era???)....when the upgrade to the new engine happens, I'm sure it will all happen at the same time for both games (same game? DCS?)...not WWII gets EDGE first type of thing.....With the addition of the ability to build new maps, I think this is going the right direction.... ....the real question is..."How smooth are the current modules going to transfer over into the new engine".

I got a prophecy for ya....the first 5th gen multi-role wins.... the first 5 gen multi role wins in my book...I've played the KA-50 for seems like 5 years now and love the high fidelity, I've played BMS since BMS4 and love it but get tired of no eye candy...as of now I'm waiting for an American AH or a good multi role...so many other things will have been accomplished in order for the F-18c ED is doing to make it function right, that I am patently waiting for ED to start work..... ....I will never go back to a non clickable cockpit...I've dropped IL2 1946 for a weaker but beautiful IL-2 CLOD with TF addon...I will not own or promote the flaming cliffs series because of the lack of click-ability...ever since BS1 1.111, I fell in love with the high fidelity click-ability that DCS provides..... BMS is great and I wish DCS would adopt the IVC idea...it work so smooth and seamless with the in-game radio channels and nobs (clickable) and the red flag multi player runs what I would consider damn near flawless...RayGun and Buddy checks work flawless and you dont change the way you play from single player to multi-player because everyone is using the right tower and guard channels that is used in both styles of play...nothing new to learn...once you know how to use the F-16 radios (VHF/UHF), your golden online... for now I'd hate to say it but CLOD and the Team Fusion Addon has most of my attention...I was such an IL-2 fan that I watched and waited for years on the AAA forums for it to progress from Storms of War...and..when it came out I played it ...then deleted it from my pc....but I tell you what..ATAG ( http://theairtacticalassaultgroup.com/forum/forum.php ) got there hands on it and .....well...basically alls I do now is play CLOD and watch the DCS forums for updates to read....once the Mig-21 comes out that will change...and once I can buy just the F-15 low fidelity module I may eat my words on the never owning one again thing, but I've read they did a good campaign and I have a little favoritism towards the US equipment.... ...I also hope someone expands on the Combined Arms idea...making a First person view should be simple if kept simple...I would settle for a Day of Defeat lvl of detail just to get the ball rolling. And I would definitely buy a DCS: M1A1 Abrams.... ...Once a BF-109 comes out I think I may be a DCS fanboy for all eras...with a map building kit and some finishing airframes, I think DCS has a strong future ahead....the mig-21 needs a F-4 phantom...that with the huey makes a perfect 1960s...minus the fact that the mig may be an advanced model....an american attack helo would be the match for the already wonderful Ka-50 and would give the huey a fly buddy....the addition of the Mi-8 is a perfect fly buddy for the BS and a great competitor of the huey...so like I say just 1 more attack helo will settle my lust there..... ....with the addition of carrier ops for the F-18....the idea of a DCS:CA giving control of naval units would open up an even greater battle front....I can hear it over teamspeak already..."You Sunk My Battleship!"... ...its basically out of our hands unless you wish to build a tech team...contact ED, get 3rd party rights...then start building.....I think some small teams building different things then just airframes will help further the game alot also...a DCS:ATC/AWACS would be a good idea in my book, and simple..build a radar screen..mabey even a point of view out the tower or plane window...keep it simple and cheap...I'd pay for basic things like that...and they can always be build further upon later...A DCS:Ground Crew can attempt re armings and re fuels at the airbases and be in contact with the DCS:ATC....charge only $9.99 a piece of these little things in the beginning and you open the real multi player online...liven up airfields...makes spawn, respawns, landings and takeoffs a different beast altogether...the airfields and awacs systems lack luster already and this would be a win by putting it in the players control instead of trying to refine the AI system... ...the next year in DCS and you may see the release of 3 to 6 airframes....maybe the release of EDGE.....but I wouldn't be surprised if it takes two or three years to reach that mark either...the key here is to be patient, sit back and just watch the wheel go round....

this project will surely have addons for more aircraft....they already mentioned in a few years starting a b-17 kickstarter....meaning a kickstarter for any other aircraft is not far fetched hopefully other 3rd parties will have the ability to add airframes also....the way DCS works now, this doesn't sound far fetched either

to say America wasn't in the fight since near the start is a bit wrong.....I believe history teaches that America lost alot of sailors(civilian) trying to supply Britain and keep her in the fight......just because we waited for an official declaration of war does not mean we didnt try at all... the attack on pearl harbor and Hitler stupidly,openly, declaring war on the US (the same idiot move he pulled on the USSR) simply untied our hands.... same thing with Japan...the war against china was raging, we were doing as much as legally possible without throwing the first official blow. Then what do they do...the best thing possible...they legally declared war on us and we put down the martinis and scotchs for a few years and kicked some serious ass... ....and the world has never been the same since.....

with a 109, a 190, and a Me626 I dont see much need for more Luftwaffe....and thats coming from someone that flys mainly 109s in other un-named games.... I really think a couple Heavies (AI) would help alot with playability

Why cant we just focus on the real war.......in the Pacific......*runs and hides*....

maybe the thrust wash from the rocket hitting the lead edge of the wing.....maybe the weight release....you figure a late release would result in a push, not a recoil, but on the opposite wing would look like recoil....maybe I really just don't know....

code and game engine wise...you dont know that this would be a minor fix....some of the stupidest bugs can sometimes be the hardest to fix, while other times something that you may claim as a major bug may really be one of the easier things to fix... ...easy fix, hard fix...it has no relevance...a major problem like getting the tires to roll the correct direction may only take 3 man hours....but to get decals on them to show properly may take 400 man hours.... ED may know how to fix this....but if its going to take 1500 hours and 3 million dollars to do so, well i say screw it. they need to be spending that time getting me a AH-1, a F-18, a new map, and some loving for CA (which they took out of beta without every fixing or building upon at all like they said they would, its nothing more then a very raw unit mover)

open the Mission editor....load the mission....save it....this should bring it up to speed with the latest patch automatically..... ...start with that first, try it, then if you are still having problems, post the mission file and some one will surely tweak it for you....

I cant swear to it but.......DCS no longer supports 32bit.....you may have quite a long wait if your hoping to read any 32bit updates....once again I havent been reading the forums about 32bit problems, so if the devs told you to hold your breath, maybe you should ('nt)...

wait till the holiday sale coming up, or the spring sale after that, but wait, theres a summer sale coming too, and yes you guessed it, there will be another autumn sale, next year whatever you do, if you cant wait and you buy them at full price, don't complain in December when ED has another sale (or will they?) P.S. you dont need BS2 and BS2 upgrade...the upgrade is not a "upgrade" for BS2....its to upgrade the old BS1 into BS2......plz don't buy both....

if DCS was designed in the bad ass crater of badassitude it would support stuff like this

I always like the idea of "what if" the game could tell whether you did the proper check or not and if you didnt then that system will have a greater chance to fail.....making stupid bit check important because you dont want a 10% fail chance added to that system....but proper startups and safety checks will result is a normal 100%er the current random failure setup is so random that it makes no sense....it needs a chain of events leading to failure.....not just a "oh look, random event, main hyro fail"....."oh wow, left front tire need air"...."oh snap, cupholder just broke spilling rum and coke on the autopilot".... we need a "excessive engine heat, excessive engine heat, excessive engine heat, engine fire"....or ...."electrical flicker, electrical flicker, electrical flicker, generator blinks out for 1 full second and all computers enter reboot phase".....a fault in a system is in reality a chain of events....a random failure system should reflect this....

thank you einar-st. I actually looked for this vid a yesterday in the heat of the debate and could not find it, so i gave up. Also, you are correct, this vid clearly shows that in the "REAL" ka-50 you can just click the trimmer. I gave up on this thread after not finding the vid because I was not going to try and win a argument over one subject that got settled back in 2008 (the trim method) and the other that clearly exists in game (overtrimming...its not a debate...it happens...whether it should is still up for debate).

this post has to do with AO in DCS also...perhaps you should try with this mod and see if you get different results http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=90613&highlight=Ambient+Occlusion
