Can we expect anymore PFM/SSM aircraft ? (aka FC3 modules)

[ANGST]

Can we expect anymore PFM/SSM aircraft ? Or will everything be PFM/ASM from now on ?

 

I actually like the SSM modeling , it's about the right learning curve for me on a limited time gaming schedule (3-4 hours a week). Deep enough for me / easy to learn in an hour or two, easy to jump between different aircraft.

 

To me I would get rid of arcade mode and allow for a SSM in A-10C and be able to swap between either ASM and SSM rather then ASM and Arcade.

 

Does anyone even use the arcade mode ?

I doubt it. FC3 was a stopgap to get fast movers into World before DCS: Fighter. The chances of getting dedicated FC3 level aircraft are slim to none, if only because the cry will always be 'why not make it clickable?'

 

Though replacing 'arcade' with SSM sounds like a plan, I suspect it's more work than it would be worth in sales...

The current SSM aircraft are here to stay, as long as the PFM matches both I don't see why SSM and ASM can't live together in the same game. Hardcore pilots will just fly on server that only have ASM aircraft available and other servers will mix and match. That way everyone wins.

 

However brand new aircraft other than the ones currently available.. Well the Mig-29 will receive an upgrade then I'd say thats about it. But at this stage in development I don't think they feel the need to quickly spit out new aircraft with SSM to cater for the lack of aircraft, I think most of the public demand is in for ASM aircraft which wouldn't be any incentive for them to develop any more SSM aircraft.

 

Even though FC3 is their best seller that is no indication that SSM is more popular its just that there is a lack of ASM aircraft to buy and that FC3 package gives you a bunch of aircraft in one purchase.

I hope so. The FC3 fidelity aircraft are a good balance between work and blowing crap up.

I tried it once with the Ka-50. Quickly I realized the learning curve is just too much for me...
