New Plane Suggestion

[Pandemic4444]

i do know that the company eagle dynamic is coming out with a world war 2 combat sim much like il-2 but that is a long was off. however it would be awesome to see the Me-262 A-1a in the dcs game.

Its already planned.

really? i had no knowledge of this. do you know of any eta? as soon as this plane is available for order i swear i will be the first one to get it as it is my favorite plane of the era.

...and they are no longer producing a WWII combat sim, just the pieces for incorporation into DCS World.

After the Spitfire and P-47 are complete, no ETA as of yet.

this i didnt know either. so if they cancelled that project one of the other planes i think was a b17 is that going to be a flyable plane?

No, B-17 is AI only at this point.

Kickstarter is long over, no way to buy into it anymore

You can't now. The kickstarter is over and was ultimately a failure. The link I provided is Eagle Dynamics' attempt to salvage the DCS: WWII initiative.

...including maps, period-accurate ground units etc. if I'm not mistaken? So you could call it a a WW2 module then ;)

yeah im already signed up.

at the moment i have a 262 for flight sim x gold. (which doesnt have guns for the plane) really want the plane for this game but obviously its a ways off. i must have more hours in that plane than i do any of my others and i have close to 20k hours into fsx. honestly this game is really much better in terms of damage modeling and combat which i like a lot more. do hope they move the project up.

I think "failure" and "attempt to salavage" is putting is pretty harshly.

 

Ultimately everything is still being delivered, albeit not on the overly ambitious timetable that RRG initially set up.

 

I very much suspect ED was planning to do a WW2 theatre at some stage anyway. ED already had the Mustang and the Dora was in late development. RRG just got the ball rolling early.

 

If the goal was to get a WW2 environment in DCS World, then it's on track to being a success.

Not trying to be harsh. Just technical. The kickstarter launched by RRG couldn't fulfill its promises even though the kickstarter pledge goals were reached and that's all I mean by failure. And by salvage I just mean ED is trying to deliver something even though it means not all the kickstarter promises can be kept.

[Pandemic4444]

i never got into that cause i found out about it just after the kickstarter campaign ended.
