Devious Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Hey Razbam team or ANYONE that may have some insight for that matter. I was just wondering how long it takes to convert a model from a platform like FSX to DCS? Do you have to recode EVERYTHING or are there some things that transfer. Also, I'm not really looking for exact times, just something like, "about a year and a half if all goes well". Something like that. Thanks for any information and looking forward to the Mirage!
WildBillKelsoe Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 well I certainly don't want FSX to fingerprint DCS... No thanks.. I'll take good quality DCS over limited FSX any year of the century. AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.
kazereal Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 They have entirely different ways of simulating and DCS adds a whole lot of things that FSX simply does not support. With conversion a 3D model and textures might be reusable if source is good enough quality - usually they are not in FSX, most of them are just horribly low quality. Also animating flaps and so on would need to be redone entirely anyway so it's simpler to do it all from scratch in better quality and to actual specifications - polishing s**t won't change it into gold.
