I'm dying a little more on the inside every day ED doesn't announce the new jet. That's all that keeps me sane.

Woah, you seem to hate carrier based aircraft. Is the F-18 really that bad? The superhornet that is.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE this simulator. However, games like Battlefield, Call Of Duty ect. take a much shorter time to pick up and play for the same amount of enjoyment (depending on the individual, though chances are more people would enjoy the latter more anyway). Which is especially good when work and/or other commitments come in. If you look at it in a way, imagine the time spent devoutly learning DCS to other things, say work or getting a higher education. We're actually less productive :D

F/A-18 C, you say? I'm not the picky sort, I'll take it :P

You don't know that!:mad:

WHAT?!? It wasn't real? Aww, what am I going to do with the 11.7 million dollars now? :D

There's a lot of love for Skyrim everywhere and I'm surprised. I was quite underwhelmed by the whole plot and wasn't really motivated to do any of the quests. What was that random civilian? Oh? You need help with some menial chore? Sure, saving the world/(insert generic cliché reason here) can wait. This is FAR more important. What was that Jarl? I saved your hide from a dragon and get the privilege to buy a house in your town for the low, low price of 5000? Why thank you! I don't mean to hate on the game. It's okay at best, noting revolutionary or even close. I loved Oblivion, Fallout 3 and New Vegas by the way. Just worried by the direction it's going in. Even the unique lock picking system was replaced by fallout's own system. I'm not even going to get started on the perks.

What's wrong with putting weapons on planes? They are just as fun to fly without the weapons and they are by no means compulsory. If it might entice non-simmers to pick up the DCS series, I'd say that's a win-win scenario. Additionally, military aircraft is good fun to fly and are pretty fast, durable and in some cases manoeuvrable. That's a high performance craft you're looking at. I'll wager most people would rather drive a Lamborghini than a mini-van. Same thing goes for aircraft. Why settle for less? I'm in no way opposed to normal aircraft. You know, the harmless kind ;)

DCS: Speculation As real as it gets. I'm pretty sure the next module is either a F-18, F-16 or F-15. Mark my words :mad:

Wait, what? There's been no official announcement yet, right? What information are you privy to?

To Moa: While I like the general idea of what you're saying, we have no idea how many DCS users actually frequent the forums. There is a great deal, perhaps, but a majority in terms of total number of people who bought the product? If so one cannot speak up for their opinions. I do concur with what you have said though.

Wait, does the auxiliary fuel tank refills after a while? I'm surprised that this still happens in modern planes. I thought the fuel injectors changed that. Are all planes like that?

Eh, I'm contemplating getting this but I think the X-52 and Track IR has better value as compared to say, the expensive beast that is the TM Warthog. Is it really that much better than the X-52? Hell, I'm thinking about just sticking to my logitech extreme, just buy a Track IR and forget this madness :joystick:

Do you really want this? 'OMG! Su-25 OP! NERF TEH PLANEZ!'

Damn, you guys are quick. I'm hoping we don't get something of the likes of the F-4 though... I'd very much prefer more modern planes. Not that I wouldn't still buy it however...

Wait, the next module is an F-18E? There's ANOTHER plane coming?!? Where are you guys getting this from? (Pardon my ignorance)

Yeah, because we really need another Russian helicopter :P

That's very odd. If any of you are familiar with 'Mount and Blade', my computer can't run that without stuttering every so often but it runs DCS A-10 like a dream.

I tried and it's still no good. I'm at my wits end, I guess I'll just have to buy another copy. No harm in supporting a good developer I guess. Thanks anyway guys.

Will it run less smoothly as a result? Sacrificing performance for visuals one might never see (or perhaps catch a brief glimpse of) is silly to me. Still, the visuals look incredible. Here's hoping it happens without any loss in performance. Otherwise I might actually have to replace the old Nvidia 230. Can you imagine they marketed the computer bundled with it as a gaming computer?

Yeah, I just figured those out from the landing training mission :doh: Thanks for the quick answer!

A quick question, what's the key for fast forward and normal speed? I remember reading this somewhere but I forgot. Thanks in advance!

As technological improvements allow for more realistic simulators, DCS would get left behind. Wouldn't you agree? Far better to allow a few modules to gracefully age while allowing others to be as modern and realistic as possible.

That's a tall order... Besides I'm not certain that others can make quality simulators like the ED team. Imagine integrating everything into one system, it would be a nightmare. One can dream though.

It's still not working for me, I tried IE 7, chrome, Safari and firefox to no avail. What now?
