Multi-crew for one huey implemented or not?

[Meiz]

The third link he posted had a reply about multiplayer multi crew.. The programmer quit, task was assigned to a new programmer but as a low priority :(.

[Fakum]

How low can it go?

Hey powers to be at ED...I know you guys have to make a profit and releasing new airframes is a good way to do that...revisiting older airframes is not. However, as a diehard rotary wing enthusiast I would be quite willing to pay the price of a new module for Huey or MI-8 MULTICREW. You might want to do a survey but I bet there are a lot of Huey and MI-8 enthusiasts that would be willing to pay good money for a UH-1 or MI-8 MULTICREW...module...Please give me more opportunities to give you my money. P/S Please make sure any future rotary wing airframes offered are Multicrew. Thanks to all at ED...Love DCS

Negative. I already paid for Huey multicrew when I bought the module, which has openly advertised multicrew is coming since inception.

these links don't mean much thing.

in the first link is quote of my post

A basic iconic sound is not available unless you don't use a sound mod.

Even a simple glass reflection bug is still there after all those years. Look at hornet's canopy and Huey's...

 

after one month nothing was said about the sound issue and internal and external textures.

Shiny textures are there

Gauge glass gone

Addon liveries corrupted

glass effects gone

 

the weird problem is, these are not even new features. we want that what we had already had in the past.

 

so i don't have hope for multi crew etc

[nessuno0505]

A lot of modules share the same problem: what worked quite well in 1.5.8 now has issues.

We have to admit it: upgrade every module to 2.5 standars is overwhelming and cannot be done for free. Two chances I believe: 1) something like what is discussed now in ka-50 section: a payware black shark 3 there, a payware uh-1h upgrade here; 2) a monthly fee to allow ED to have more resources for upgrades, in order to keep older modules up to date. To have all for free, well, I think it's impossible, or at least it will take years without money income.

Oh, that's easy, just revert back to DCS World 1.5/2.0, the version before the modern graphics were implemented. You can even install that version in parallel.

 

I am definitely not happy here, as well. It takes them quite some time, but as Mi8Pilot said, they are working on an overhaul of the Huey in general. Better engine model, likely fixing the graphics and maybe even introducing MP-Multicrew, who knows.

I'll willing to wait a bit longer to see this implemented right, rather than hasty...

[sniperwolfpk5]

Sorry don't agree with you(nessuno0505) yeah good for upgraded Ka-50 with new cockpit and new 3D model, but not for uh-1h It's biggest feature multi crew is not implemented yet. DCS modules are not cheap you can't play DCS with mouse and Keyboard. You need different controllers and I don't agree with Monthly fee. Yes monthly fee for early access or free modules per month is good enough, Like there are some other online services which are on monthly or on yearly fee based.

[nessuno0505]

The biggest income for ED comes from the newest modules. They sell a lot in early access, then maybe another peak when the module is released, then the sales slowly decline. Yes, a brand new player can buy a-10c or ka-50 right now, but I think the biggest source of income for ED is the base of fans who already play at least one module (but as we know a lot of people here already have them all). It is for that reason that the priority for ED is to develop new modules, then they have to keep the base game up to date, while fixing / updating the old modules is at the bottom of the list. A monthly / yearly fee could allow ED to allocate people to modules update, cause they would have fixed incomes dedicated to this task. I'd gladly pay if they should decide this way.

 

You are right: a suited PC, a hotas, maybe a dedicated desk and chair, a VR headset, etc cost money. And we all pay because this is our hobby. To add something like 50 bucks a year would not impact so much our finances, but could speed up software updates. It's an ED decision, they only know what is best for their business, but I would be ready to pay...

Who said that ED(Belsimtek) should upgrade without charge?

I mean Promised update should be done(module becomes "product" with update).

In addition, I don't think that development be postponed by money reason.

at least, UH-1H Multi-Crew was promised on 2013/04/30(release date).

It is a prospect based on web archive of DCS website(2013/05/23).

6 years. It's looks funny.

If Belsimtek couldn't develop it by money reason, they go out of business by now.

 

He***lur *-14 keep us long waiting.

But UH-1H "a" function keep us waiting for 6 years.

Can you imagine the difference?

I can't stop smiling wryly.

 

Off course, I understand that ED(Belsimtek, other developer)'s opinion, "NO DEADLINE".

Therefore, I said that ED should delete a statement temp or share us plan of update.

 

PS. Ah... I think upgrade is different with update.

Monthly fee ... Very clever

They will lose a lot of people if they do that

Definitely!

[Vlerkies]

The lack of UH1H updates is a little more than mildly irritating tbo.

 

As for DCS modules 'early access/releases' pfff, I'm over that now thankfully. No more.

I have been cured, :worthy:

As long as this thread is going on :)

[nessuno0505]

Maybe they do not ask for a monthly fee because they have not enough developers or programmers. If you ask a fee you must keep things updated with a clear and quick timeline, otherwise people stop to pay. It's a double edged sword they are not ready to handle.

[sniperwolfpk5]

Yes exactly. As I previously said Flight Simming is not cheap. Yes definitely more of the people will not go with this route including myself

[slowmover]

Any news how the progress is going?

[Tualatin]

I don't think so, nothing new on the front.

[danvac]

If single-player is main DCS focus they could make more money with releasing new campaings.

[Cowboy10uk]

Well I see in the latest news, the same team that made the MI8 and now doing the Hind, and surprise surprise that is scheduled to come with Multicrew.

 

Now considering that same crew also promised the same Multicrew for the MI8 AND the Huey. Is there any chance they could complete the Multicrew on the Huey And MI8 FIRST before moving on to yet another project and another Multicrew Promise.

[hazzer]

Maybe they will try make us pay for multi crew

[danvac]

There is big difference that in Mi-24 you have two separated cockpits so you won't have so many issues synchronizing switches as it will happen in Mi-8 and UH-1.

 

Gazelle is not good example too, there are still bugs which is developer not able to fix: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3816311&postcount=3

and when I hear people reconnecting, restarting, etc to get multicrew working I think it is better to wait longer and get fully working multicrew without issues.

 

Also you can now switch seat during flight, it would be terrible to lost that due to slightly chance that I could have sometimes someone flying with me.

If nobody gets into the aircraft you can still switch seats! So its not that bad. But if smdy gets in and out you will lose the option to change seats. So, you can switch without problem if you fly solo!

[Vlerkies]

Hind will be spectacular, as for the huey, sad but clearly more needs to be accomplished
