Hey guys, sorry if this is an already answered question or if it's really dumb...

Is DCS 2 going to be like a completely new game that I have to rebuy all the modules?

No, your modules will be updated to DCSW 2.0 as well.

Oh shoot, the NTTR map looks good. But.. I have a 1970's Edwards AFB air map sitting in a drawer somewhere complete with all specs and so forth.. If it is of use to you guys, I can make a scan of it.

Anything with a Rotary Wing is fun and challenging.

Use SRS radio.

Has anything been said, publicly or otherwise, if DCS 2.0 will address the on-grass handling of the planes? Because currently there is NO on-grass handling, you become permanently stuck, even with full afterburner, if you run off the taxi-way. :helpsmilie:

 

Even the SU-25, which should be able to be launched from improvised runways, cannot roll on grass. :D

 

 

EDIT: forgot to say this is only a problem for the more modern planes, not the tail-draggers

 

"if you run off the taxi-way."

if you run off the taxi-way. - and if you stop

 

Maybe watch this video of Jeremy Clarkson trying to move a completely empty (no fuel, no missiles), partial (missing wings etc) English Electric Lightening across a grass field...

 

 

Now think that a complete lightening weighs 31,000 lb empty. Lets say that one was 10% less = 28,000lb.

Max takeoff weight for an Su-27 is 67,000 lb - so 2.4 times the weight, on essentially the same sized tyres...

 

A fully laden jet fighter stands a very real risk of sinking to its axles on a vaguely muddy field. It then really won't be going anywhere...

Kinda surprising to see what the price is gonna be now. Although I'm really only interested in the NTTR and F/A 18. Gonna cost a pretty penny for both of them as it seems :)

 

Yah. Lest we forget they's still sticking to their gats and giving it away to those to bought A-10C beta. They could have just said ohh, snap, we OG in this dank dirty rut and we can't really be giving shizz away nomo. And, and! On top of that, they got Su-33 and Mig 29 with PFM in the pipe and free for the FC3 owners. Dang, monica, what more do u want? From what I understand, you don't plug PFM from trees. It ain't like peeling mongoes, holmes. :P

ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P

A fair point, but also in that video that ground probably couldn't get any softer. Soggy British ground, yikes. Nevada probably wouldn't have problems to that extent. I guess multiple different ground roll situations wouldn't be something worth modeling.

Hello guys

 

I'm new to DCS community and I'm going to download latest version of DCS world . But if the release time is close I think It's better for me to wait until the World 2 is out then attempt to download the DCS world . what do you guys think ? Does any one know the estimate release date?

 

Thanks

btw: Will the AI and weather improvements include the following features:

.....

- the AI won't be able to see through clouds anymore

.....

 

howabout for the IRST??

 

clouds, haze, angle of the sun.. etc will degrade IRST operation -- would like to see a bit more fidelity in modeling these effects

The trees being collidable is good news. I just hope that means they'll stop munitions and LoS for AI as well :(

 

Right! im so tired of an AI tank being able to see through trees and hit my tank in a forest.

One day in DCS... Vipers will fly along side Tomcats... Bugs with Superbugs, Tiffy's with Tornado's, Fulcrums with Flankers and Mirage with Rafales...

:)The Future of DCS is a bright one:)

So you went around with a tank think you're stalking then boom, youre dead? That about right? :D I'm sure or hope it's pretty high on the to-do list.
