У Wham! даже есть песня про Тушку, называется Careless Whisperer. Тоже верно. С другой стороны нынешняя цена со скидкой уж очень заманчивая... Надеюсь ЕД выпустить пару роликов в превью, хочется посмотреть что да как там - работает хоть вентилятор в РД билде.

Светоотражающие комбинезоны?

Где-то читал, что золотой голос ЕД по имени Мэтт Вагнер не будет делать туториалы на Крокодила. В таком случаи может тогда Pilot Mi8 возьмётся за дело Всё ещё в раздумье о предзаказе...

Это НАТОвская кодовое обозначение. Хотя для нас русскоязычных могли бы Крокодилом назвать, а не Хиндом обозвать.

Great livery, has to be one of my favorites! A couple of small notices: 1. Seems to be missing texture on L/H wing pylon. R/H is okay 2. Roundel (star) on bottom wing surface is covered by weapon pylon (on both sides) PAF roundel location

А вы оба не потому же самому адресу работаете? Если нет, то я думаю, что прожект манагер умеет отправит запрос по адресу.

Надеюсь к выходу Ми-24П в РД подвезут Toyota Hilux в игру.

Зато у модели лётчика есть усы, как это было модно в 80-ые.

Ого, даже так. Не знал о такой фичи.

Скидка тоже будет длиться до выхода в РД?

И 9.12 в кадр попал. Выглядит очень сочно, но у меня и так полно ЛА в ангаре, да и как то со времён Enemy Engaged не доводилось летать на вертушках в симуляторе...

Not sure where I was promoting others as better aircraft systems wise than DCS... I was telling the OP that his claim that other sims are worse than DCS is false, not the other way around. Can't talk too much about MSFS, haven't spent a lot of time in it, but P3D has tons of scenery, from global to local, from payware to freeware. And it's true that you won't be able to find 100% of stuff you are looking for, but a lot of it is there. Even with just global scenery/meshes available for my area it was enough for me to go "yes this is that coast, yes this is that road leading from A to B, etc." And it looks like MSFS is headed that way. I was already able to find a few local international airports and landmarks for the area I live (eastern Europe) completely free. And that's only a few months have passed since it's release. Their satellite data makes redundant things like 3rd party global landmass/meshes/etc. and that's already great. Good to see there is an option like that.

Nice. Don't own those modules, so didn't know. And I guess I was wrong in this regard. Checked some modules right now, some of them do have interactive C/Bs i.e. F/A-18, F-5, whereas others don't i.e. M2000C, F-14. I was wrong about C/B aspect in DCS (see above). Some A/C have it while other don't. Although you don't usually interact with them during the startup procedure, at least the ones I remember (JF-17, F/A-18, M2000C, F-14). Anyway, my point is that other sims can have deep systems modeling as well. It's not a feature particular to DCS World only. So I find your argument regarding that to be false. It just depend how far addon developer wants to go.

Oh, I am all for devs making a plane they want, although I am not sure if it will be easy to market something like 172 for Digital Combat Simulator. For average player who wants to learn something like Cessna I don’t think it’s a really good value, as you only get a handful of maps to fly in. I know, it really doesn’t matter where you fly it, but somewhat I wouldn’t want to learn flying Cessna in Syria (nothing against the country). Normandy is nice though. But since this is Cessna, meaning it would be VFR, I would personally prefer to learn to fly in the area I am more familiar with, ergo whereabouts I live. Although for XPL/P3D some additional scenery might be required to make it look right. And I’m not even talking about ATC... Even a bit lackluster ATC from P3D is ahead of barebones DCS ATC. But in P3D you can play online and find “real life” ATC to practice, I am not sure if you can find something like that in DCS... (granted I think it probably would be possible, it’s just no one foes it as it is not required) Now I cannot judge aerodynamics, I am not a pilot, so cannot say what is realistic and what is not, but systems wise I completely disagree that other sims are inferior in modeling it. Have you tried A2A Cessna, FSLabs A320 or Majestic Q400 in P3D? Those have really, really great systems modeling. I imagine why someone might think DCS is better in systems simulation due to it being a milsim, so it has an additional layer of weapons system simulation, but you can’t fault other sims for not having it as something like A320 doesn’t have weapons... The FSLabs A320 has all your typical FBW laws, alpha floors simulated, with addional niceties like icing simulations and ACARS, whereas Pro version of Majestic Q400 simulates circuitbreakers. Circuitbreakers! Show me a DCS module which has that kind of simulation. [False claim on my side. Some of them do have interactive C/Bs and others don't] In conclusion, sure why not, if someone wants to make a Cessna 172, knock yourself out. After all there are CEII and Yak-52 (which I own, but still haven’t flown to this day). But I’m just not sure if one will be able to successfully sell something like this in DCS then competition is better suited for it.

Why? For that there is MSFS/P3D/XPL.

Sorry, my misunderstanding, I though by "35" you meant MiG-35... What was I ever thinking...

SMT and MiG-35 have nothing in common with each other. You cannot convert a -35 into SMT or vice versa, as -35 is already a newer aircraft with some airframe differences. -35 is derived from -29M/M2 (note, not -29SM) and -29K/KUB (9.41/9.47). SMT is derived from 9.12/9.13.

SMT was not only a prototype. Russian AF upgraded some of their 9.13 to SMT. It's not a huge number (44 according to Wiki), but it is not a one off prototype as it's very often with the Soviet/Russian aircraft designs around the era of USSR collapse. They even updated their UBs to be more inline with SMT i.e. by adding AAR probe. However it's true that the Russian MiG-29 fleet is in pretty bad shape, and most of it is deemed not to be reasonable to be upgraded.

She's a thicc and hungry one! 9.18 would be amazing. Do not get carried out... Do not get carried out... Do not get carried out...

AutoCAD and Solidworks Looking at how many years it takes to develop a single module, it will take a while. Also at some point there will be DCS Wolrd 3, DCS World 4 and etc. I expect them to upgrade older modules a la A-10 for a convenient price.

Nope, Imma engineer, but I do work in aviation, meaning I do use (or rather tell people to use) certified components, which really are expensive.

Hope it's all clear now. Yes, I would buy any variant of the plane which interests me even if it's from various devs, meaning it will be a full price purchase. Of course it would be easier and cheaper to buy from a single dev, but that is not a deciding factor in my purchase. It's always about the airframe. Just give me the module and I will decide if I need it in my life or not.

I will buy EVERY version of a plane I have interest in regardless of the dev. Clear now, or should I draw you a picture?

Not interested in F4, but I will mimic what Baco has said - I would also buy different variants of the same aircraft if I like the aircraft.
