dartuil Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 They are angry on M2000 their FB is full of progress!! i7 2600k -- Noctua NH-D14--Asrock Z75 Pro3--ASUS GTX970 Strix --16Go Ripjaws X 1333--Thermaltake Smart M650--CoolerMaster Silencio 652S--AOC E2752VQ-- Sandisk Extreme II 480GB--Saitek X-52 Pro --SAITEK PZ35 Pedals
Slipp Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 (edited) will the Mirage get a Professional flight model too ? I hope they do like VEAO and Avio Dev. Release beta with SFM first and add the EFM in a future update. :) I want to see if anybody can spot the error. No pylons. Edited February 6, 2015 by Slipp
emg Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 CaptSmiley (who started the F-16 AFM crowd project) is their EFM programmer, I don't think there will be an SFM release.
Zeus67 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Thanks for yet another update! A quick question for developers, will AM-39, AS-37 and BLG-66 be included in this module like previously stated? :) That's the idea for the AM-39 and AS-37, but since these weapons do not exist in DCS, we have to make them as well. So it will take some time. 1 "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.

Aginor Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Multi-role! This aircraft just jumped on my shopping list. :) DCSW weapons cheat sheet speed cheat sheet
7rooper Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 I hope they do like VEAO and Avio Dev. Release beta with SFM first and add the EFM in a future update. :) But in a single product and not a SFM and EFM standalones. Even VEAO realized that selling a SFM only product wasn´t attractive to DCS fans My rig specs: Intel Core i7 4770 @3.4Ghz // Corsair 16GB DDR3 // MoBo Asus Z87K // HDD 1TB 7200RPM // eVGA Nvidia GTX 760GT 2GB DDR5 // LG 3D 47" 1920x1080 // Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS // Saitek Combat Pro Pedals // Thrustmaster MFD Cougar pack // PS3 Eye + FTNOIR
Slipp Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 But in a single product and not a SFM and EFM standalones. Even VEAO realized that selling a SFM only product wasn´t attractive to DCS fans That's exactly how I meant it. SFM release gives developers money a bit sooner, and we get the module a bit sooner. Win win. :smilewink:
emg Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 In this case, the EFM may be done before the cockpit coding. CptSmiley has been working on the M2k for a good while.
Zeus67 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Another test. In this case the VTB or Heads Down Display.

IvanK Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Man that is looking nice. I do think the lighter circular area in the HUD is overdone. This I think represents the viewable area of HUD symbology. In the few HUDS I have used this is hardly noticeable all that happens is the symbols just vanish.
Zakatak Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 God damn you guys look to be making fast progress!

Right now it is needed for alignment purposes.

Manuel_108 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Really looking forward to dogfight with this.
Flagrum Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Another test. In this case the VTB or Heads Down Display. Looks quite promising. Just for the context ... in these vids you are flying with just the keyboard, right? ;o)
dartuil Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 I think beta is very close now!! They just finish what they know they already did on M2000 for FSX. Beta in april? :) i7 2600k -- Noctua NH-D14--Asrock Z75 Pro3--ASUS GTX970 Strix --16Go Ripjaws X 1333--Thermaltake Smart M650--CoolerMaster Silencio 652S--AOC E2752VQ-- Sandisk Extreme II 480GB--Saitek X-52 Pro --SAITEK PZ35 Pedals
Manuel_108 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Flagrum, he mentioned in the comments that his joystick is very basic, so that might explain it.
aaron886 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 (edited) I hope they do like VEAO and Avio Dev. Release beta with SFM first and add the EFM in a future update. :). Personally, I think this is a mistake and might waste community enthusiasm. I think one of the big lessons of the last 10 years of "open" game development is never to release something incomplete. I think beta is very close now!! They just finish what they know they already did on M2000 for FSX.

Seems that I missed that ... but then, I seem to fail to see the difference between an "basic joystick" and a "common joystick" here - when I look at the control input responses of the aircraft. Today's joysticks are all analogue - but the aircraft reactions seem to be "digital" ...

Today's joysticks are all analogue - but the aircraft reactions seem to be "digital" ... It is not a basic joystick. It is a chinese knock-off of a Logitech Extreme. It was a birthday gift from my Nephew, purchased with his own money, and have to use it. And then my Logitech Extreme 3D died so I am stuck with it. It is stiff as hell so many times I end up jerking it to correct something. I am unable at this moment to purchase a new one. 1 "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.

But it does look quite ... awful, tbh. ;o) But anyways - as long as it is just I/O hardware related (as opposed to FM related), I am your happy (potential) customer. ;o)
joey45 Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Well, with the money you'll be getting from this (for DCS) you'll be able to afford a new one.. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

dartuil Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Release the beta you'll have money to buy 1000 warthog at 320$!!!

Airbuster Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Guys, lets not make this thread more awkward, Zeus67 is a developer and he is making great progress and showing it off to the community. What joystick he is using and how he flies is not really that important. Zeus, I have a question - are there any similarities with the code between FSX and DCS? Are you doing this from scratch or you can use some of the code done already for the FSX platform? (Just curious, it's ok if it's not allowed to answer that :) )
