So, beta next year? :smilewink:

Enjoying this one very much. :) Thanks for your work. By the way, which text-to-speech program did you use? Seems really good.

:) Well, plenty of AC to keep us busy in the meantime. But it can't be that far can it?

Does the same "a little bit longer" also apply to F-18C? :music_whistling:

Great posts, Eddie. Too few people are brave enough to post opinions like that around here. People here use "DCS is a Sandbox" argument as an excuse for everything around here. DCS is not a sandbox, it doesn't have anywhere near the amount of content to be a sandbox game. Take a look and see what Il-2 1946 with mods offers and than look at DCS sandbox capability again. One very old map, few modules that don't really fit together time-frame and capability wise and a lack of a polished, well rounded, functioning core game. DCS is just all over the place, it's a mess, a beta if you want. And now, VEAO and LN are switching to WW2. (honestly, they are the only 3rd parties that actually have something working to show so far. ( Belsimtek is a partner so it doesn't count in this argument) I can imagine that people who we've been supporting this franchise since Lomac and are waiting for some jets that haven't been around since 2003, aren't very happy with this recent development.

I don't think there are too many WW2 planes coming. DCS needs to expand on WW2 front with maps and planes so that it becomes a viable gameplay option and not just outdated prop planes flying over modern Georgia and Nevada. The real problem, IMHO, is with modern fast jet projects. They all seem to be like myths and legends. Vaporware. "So-and-so jet is totally coming guys, like for real. But you'll have to wait for at least a year before we can tell you anything more besides that it's coming." *Mig-21 excluded since it's not modern and seems to be close to completion

:)

Rudel hinted at a Grumman "cat" plane. Hellcat? Wildcat? Tigercat?

Does that make it any less real? :lol: Anyways, good luck with whatever you choose to do next, we'll be here waiting patiently for it. :)

Awesome. :D

I get what you're saying. I also feel the same sometimes, but then I go play some other games and forget about DCS for a while. Makes the waiting for new content much easier. :)

What is the input folder for this plane? I can't seem to get my controls working.

It is the only thing on the list. Players would be flying the intercepting fighters, would invisible command work with live players?

I have a somewhat similar question. I would like to make a Bear intercept but I'd like to make Bear stay on it's path and ignore the interceptors. I tried using "Reaction to threat = no reaction", but the plane still started evading me when I came close. Is there any other way to make it happen?

Do you plan to include A2G capability? Will FC3 be required? Good luck with this project. :)

Whenever I try starting the modelviewer that is included in the DCS, it just crashes before start up. No errors at all. I have installed Microsoft Visual C++. What am I missing?

That's exactly why I would give them a Mig-29. :lol: It is recognizable but nowhere near as appealing to western ( the majority?) market as the US teen series. Bait them with a cool looking fast jet to give them a taste, than sell them what they really want. Su-25T doesn't really scream " Highway to the Danger Zone" to casual gamers, Mig-29 would. Interest for flight games is there, just look at how War Thunder is thriving. But you need to appeal to casual gamers.

I think that you need something more attractive to reel new people in, people who don't know anything about DCS or flight sims. Something that crowds would recognize, like Mig-29A?

Thanks for the answer. I just hope that they will be generous with their approvals. :)

Will we be able to implement maps, built by us, into the game ourselves or will they need to be authorized/implemented by the offical game producers?

You can map the wing sweep by using the Fold Wings comand. :)

Looks fabulous.

Nevermind. Problem solved

When trying to revert back to 1.2.6 from 1.2.7, I get an error that only says: DCS Updater 1.2.6 Is reverting back still possible?

What are Runtimes? Where can I get them?
