Are we gonna see things like condensation trails & flourishes over the wings ect? Small details, but it adds ALOT to the feeling of really flying a vehicle thru the air, at least when you see that.. it looks damn cool. I hate the feeling of flying a simulation and it always feels so 'sterile' sometimes because of a lack of small touches like that. Is it essential? Nope but I honestly dont think it takes that much effort to implement either for a nice pay off. Look at Ace Combat 5, yea it sucks and its an arcade game..but they NAILED things like that, and the feeling of flying in a thick atmosphere (clouds/vapor/mist) todays modern CPUs should have no trouble with this.

Its still potential 5 MONTHS off from shipping, alot could change between now & then. I've worked in games dev for over 12 years and its only in the last few months of a project does everything come together, until then its usually a mess (and DSC A10 does NOT look like a mess at this point!) and I take it sim dev is even more different from a 'regular' game, so what you see might resemble a finished product but you can bet they will be tweaking it like mad to get it just right or maybe even adding small things. Bare in mind its also based on the militarys desktop trainer and the standards for that vs/commercial simulation for public consumption will have differences they need to address..Im sure?

I have no idea? But before I turned on FD I couldn't even LAND, let alone fly straight. I should say I dont use Trim either..I turn off my Force Feedback so the stick is 'free' but then I dont have to worry about trimming every second, and together with FD I have perfect finesse over how it flys and lands ect..its a joy now.

Same here! Now I only turn FD off for hovering and I love how agile the BS is I do some insanely silly maneuvers but it still can take it..

Oh only the whole flight dynamics would have to be changed, and only the whole avionics package, and the only the whole control scheme..I can't believe you think this is even a possibility:megalol:?LMAO

I love seeing the rounds from the gun bounce off the ground! I've seen those in tons of WW2 combat videos of planes strafing and seeing the stray rounds bounce everywhere its super sexy to see in BS!;) I think I've been killed by tanks as much as Sams in this sim..sad lol

Turn OFF the flight director (Ctrl+A) oh what a difference that makes..feels like I have the control and not fighting the Autopilot or Trimming constantly. I also turned off my force feedback as it was a constant fight of the controls..now I can maneuver exactly as I want, landing is a cinch. I only turn the director on when I need to auto hover & acquire targets..:thumbup:

Turn off the flight director Ctrl+A and fly that bird by hand its much easier! I don't trim at all, no need to when Im the one flying it. I only turn it on when I need to hover now and Im enjoying it 100% more..

I agree & for one am very greatful we have ED & the guys with Oleg Maddox who would have thought it would be the Russians who saved the flight sim genre..without them, WHO have we got..WHO?!! They consistently produce quality & listen to the community which is more than most western devs ever did in the hayday of sims. Every other genre has had a 'next gen' make over except the simming genre, that is until ED has started coming out with hi fidelity study sims, my god we're so very lucky.

I think what your asking for is excessive and needless, my god the KA50 has more click able switches than any sim I have ever played, don't even mention flight sim (lite) that thing is a joke by comparison. So you have all mastered the KA50's systems already? wow I'm impressed. Considering the amount of hard core sim producers out there..(count them on 2 fingers) these 'requests' come off as brattish & ungrateful for what we already have. Im sure they make every effort to give us full functionality, but come on, you want every single nut & bolt modeled? It aint gonna happen on a $45 product. I suggest you get into coding and make one yourself if its that **** to you guys. Seriously!:pilotfly:
