With all due respect to wags, I’m more interested in what the developer says. They have better idea of where they want to take the module in the future.
-
I put it in the wishlist but the dev “someone” replied not anytime soon but hopefully in the future
-
Awesome! Thanks for the reply.
-
Just thought I’d chime in. Was looking to move to this as a primary trainer after messing with it for awhile I’ll stick with the c-101
-
I just realized I can’t bind the knobs for the heading and course bugs. Would be nice if we could get more key binds.
-
Silly question but will it be possible to fall to my death as load master? Or will I always have a strap keeping me safe. It’s not an important feature, but it would be kind of amusing.
-
Title says it all. It’s operational. Can we have rapid dragon?
-
Makes total sense. I just thinking getting it in front of the airline crowd would be good for the module and DCS.
-
ASC should get this to some “other” sim YouTubers. Could bring a lot over into DCS.
-
I 100% agree but there have been clues to some issues at ED for awhile. This will generate a huge amount of cash for them so there’s no stopping it. Probably their answer to avoid a subscription model. The more positive possibilitie is they have a deal with an Airforce to make an F-35 and they got permission to release it to DCS if they tweak a few things off from actual and don’t admit that they’re working for a government customer.
-
I don’t care about balance. DCS should NOT be balanced because the real world isn’t. But I am highly skeptical an accurate version can be made and lowering the standard of what’s required to make module is disappointing. But I’m sure it will be a cash cow for ED.
-
Yea. I no longer buy everything that’s comes out just because. We don’t have any better options to take our business elsewhere so we’re stuck with ED but it’s definitely a hostile relationship.
-
To those flying on it If I enjoyed South Atlantic at launch would I be happy with the state of this?

-
Well all that being said I really look forward to flying the 47 when it’s in a state that I find good enough.
-
Hard to believe this was three years ago… Abandoned
-
You should migrate to standalone. I know steam is convenient but ED would be in a better place if they weren’t paying steam their cut. There’s no benefit to being on steam other than all your games are in one spot. And I don’t see the advantage of that when I still launch DCS with a desktop icon.

Excellent flight model and systems. Good but not frame rate murdering textures. Logistics ops that impact the battle. Fat cow. Visible crew and cargo. Some generic cargoes are fine but variation based on whether it’s food ammo tents comms gear etc would be nice. Paratroopers. Fast Ropers would be a stretch goal. Load and unloading animations. Oh the crew chief actually has some buttons to press in the back. It would be nice if those work. I actually hate long lining in dcs because I do it in real life and it doesn’t translate well. oh this is super high priority for me. Weight and balance and performance planning. This is such a critical part of being a pilot I can’t believe it’s not in the game yet. We need a way to calculate fuel burn and at least IGE and OGE hover.
-
I’m not mad about the 47 but I won’t be purchasing until I see some good reviews on it. There’s a problem with modules getting to 90% but can’t go the last mile. I think the business model is in trouble with the work debt versus cash flow problem. I’m sure the chinook will be great, and I’ll happily buy it then. But I’m predicting either a rough launch or a long delay or both. And I’m not thrilled with how things have gone with the lower tier modules. Again no pitch fork and not trying to be rude. I love DCS but my trust is waning.
-
With logistics set to become a bigger part of DCS with the Chinook and Hercules we really need a way to do proper flight planning. Required take off and landing distance. Fuel burn. In ground effect and out of ground effect hover. Trying to find the real world performance charts in the wild is a huge pain. DCS already does the calculations. Can you please add a way for us to seem them in the mission editor/planner? Please start working on this if you haven’t already.

This just seems like a bad idea and is putting up red flags for me. I’ll probably wait for the map to be complete before considering a purchase.

12.01.2024 - Vulkan Progress | DCS Core | DCS Modules

Big Newy, I remember a long time ago the towed decoy was on the roadmap for the F-18. I’ve seen it mentioned for the F-16 but not the 18 recently. Is it still planned for the 18? also I love DCS and the progress it’s made this year. I especially love the integrated comms. But the Yak-52 still leaves much to be desired and does not receive updates. I know it’s not making you money. But we paid money for it. How should I determine which modules will be completed so I can avoid buying an abandoned one in the future?(rhetorical) FIX THE YAK. -

While I’ll get the Afghanistan map since I spent a little time there, I am over it with the Desert maps. This isn’t anger or complaining. Just expressing my opinion for the sake of feed back.
