Conspiracies everywhere

I think in general people exagerate about the current state of DCS missiles. Can they be better? Sure! Are they horrendous, no way! I also do think that the amraam is in a very good state right now. The same way the SD10 is in a very good state. I mean both are very dangerous missiles with nice real BVR range, and closer to what i'd expect from them and in line with every piece of documentation and pilot talk i've always read. The only missile that i do think needs love really soon is the R77, that thing is basically a close range weapon now.

Since a couple of patches ago when they introduced a new lofting logic which increased dramatically amraam range, especially on high altitude, high speed shots. Supposedly the amraam will be completed with new AFM based on CFD and improved logic in June, after that the same work will be done iteratively in all missiles. I hope the r77 and r27 receive some love before 2020 ends so everybody is happier.

I think that is a good approach indeed, all weapons managed by ED to standardize quality or at least a common ground, eg. What max range is, so even if its done wrong, it will be equally 'wrong' for all sides. I'm sorry for those who keep seeing ghosts and cospirancies in ED, buffing or nerfing weapons to sell more. Which every now and then get dismantle by facts, like the A10 gun being worse of what it actually is for many years because an engineer kept thinking that his data was right, only to be corrected recently. If conspiracies were true, i'm sure ED would have made the A10 gun a super weapon to sell more copies of 'blue' A10, beimg some years ago their only high fidelity module. All I can see in every iteration of DCS world is that ED is guided by evidence, even when sometimes they make mistakes caused by its stuborness or their decisions are not welcome by some fanboys who see their favourite aircrafts not excelling as they think they should.

From post numer 13 in this thread i understand that it was DEKA themselves who did this right?

I guess he means a simplistic simulator geared towards helicopters. MAC will be all aircrafts. Enviado desde mi SM-G950F mediante Tapatalk

i guess they will come once it is finished on June 3rd. I even expect some video from Mr.Wags explaining the new functionality.

The FLIR is used a lot in A2A mode to identify unknown contacts from far away. You can even find some youtube clips of super hornet tracking with the flir what it appears to be UFOs.

There is mode now that slaves the tgp exactly to the velocity vector marker on the hud. You can use that already. Enviado desde mi SM-G950F mediante Tapatalk

I would like both. The typhoon would be my number 1 choice for BVR/Air superiority but the rafale would a blast for more omnirole and A2G missions. Enviado desde mi SM-G950F mediante Tapatalk

Simple answer, go get a rift s in amazon so you know you can test it and give it back if its not of your pleasure. I'm one of those that cant get back to a monitor. Its not even appealing after feeling you are in a fighter with its full size glory and turning your head back to check six in a dogfight, or feeling the speed at low level.

The r77 as it is now in game is really poor performing. Too draggy and no loft capability shortens its range even more (not that i know the RL missile is capable of lofting) Enviado desde mi SM-G950F mediante Tapatalk

Yes, actually if I were to make a brief summary of DCS I would say "the most amazing thing I've seen in a commercial product. The only place where you can take a high fidelity plane in VR and think for some minutes you are actually fliying a military grade simulator". But that is a normal human behavior, in forum you always see a negative bias because people feels it is the place to voice out their discomfort, and it is kind of true. So basically, when analyzing any forum or product review board you definetely need to take away between 15/35% of negative feedback, which is in fact artificial, if after removing that percentage the feedback is still bad, run away :P. In general I don't see so much rage in these forum except for some thread every now and then. That is in line with the amazing quality of ED and other 3rd parties products.

I'm ok with selectable options. 60 seems totally weird and unrealistic though.

I would buy any of them. I would refrain from going out a whole month if that is what i needed to buy them, that is how much i love both planes and ED products. Enviado desde mi SM-G950F mediante Tapatalk

To the OP, it is still a very valuable contribution thanks :).

I dont see how that could be a pleasent experience, but i might give it a try just to see how it works. Enviado desde mi SM-G950F mediante Tapatalk

How do you this on the F18? Setting a big deadzone in the middle? Enviado desde mi SM-G950F mediante Tapatalk

+1 Additionally, and if its not too much work, I would love a simple GUI tab that let you select a different picture as a wallpaper from the main menu, so you can pick one from your hard drive. It would be lovely if this is saved from update to update. I know you can set already your own wallpaper but it is very inconvenient and it is overwritten with each update.

How is that cleaning example even close to what ED does? Arent you able to fly the hornet, operate almost all their systems, enter flight plans or use more than 20 weapons just to name a few things? Just to put thing into perspective. A T-shirt is 14/30$, a pint of beer could be 10$ in some places, a night out is probably 80$. A shitty vr game that you can use for 3 hours is maybe 40$. Many of you here are too used to the client is always right thing. So much that you have made yourself believe you are some kind of heroe with your money spent, it even seems lile you saved a company from misery. Trading and fair market should be a win situation for all, one where you pay a price and you expect a fair good or service in return. In this case, 80$ is a way way low price for a product like ED modules. If you calculate the $ per hour you spent, which is actually a fair metric to use, it is even ridiculous. And the culprit here is precisely that, the point you need to understand is that, because ED is not charging a fair price, something that is sustainable for them, so they can keep the engine up to date while keeping all modules as much bug free as possible while running an ever evolving engine, they are in constant need of creating content just to keep the wheel running and rushing sometimes certain modules into EA. If instead of 80$ per modules, you would be paying a monthly fee like in many other games or services, then you would be right and you would be crying with all the right reasons. I've always thought ED should charge more so some of your cries about unfinished products could actually make any sense. Enviado desde mi SM-G950F mediante Tapatalk

Actually they do. The use a system that simulates virtual shots and based on aircraft parameters determine a kill. In order to register each aircraft position, speed,etc... they use a telemtry pod called acmi. Also thanks to link16 and other protocols NATO aircraft can transmit who they are locking or what they systems are seeing. Altogether this will create a virtual war in exercises like red flag.

I will throw my two cents. First of all I really like transparence like this you have shown ED, even when dissapoints some people. It is the way to go, although not a pleasant road sometimes I must admit. Regarding the roadmap, I will share my humble opinion. The roadmap is good but in general I will stick to the following principle: -Systems and FM first and then weapons -I would like any hotas command missing witihin the 2020 period. -I think finishing anything related to JHMCS functionality is a good call -I would love that markpoints and MGRS grid coordinates format to be moved higher up the priority list. -S/A and automatic countemeasures and DATA cardtrige is quite important and a QoL addition that would be great to have on 2020. Thats all, and a happy customer here that will still buy your amazing products.

There is a point in fostering the discussion and there is the joy of the discussion itself where you see very valids and different PoVs. This is a discussion forum right? :)

Eso es muy raro, no mo habia escuchado nunca. Si las teclas se registran en el entrenamiento se deben registrar en cualquier instante. Empieza a probar otras opciones, descarta primero que sea fallo del teclado, prueba a reparar el juego tambien. Enviado desde mi SM-G950F mediante Tapatalk
