Zilch Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Nah, we can always keep an old PC around when that time comes. This genre is dying, gentlemen. People have been saying that since the 90's. Somehow, it's hasn't happened yet. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Zilch79's YouTube Channel:

Zibell Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Nor will it for a long time to come. Hopefully, as I very much enjoy it. DCS is pretty much all that's left though. Not that there were many at any point in time... [sIGPIC]hi[/sIGPIC]
King_Hrothgar Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Other serious CFS's that are currently officially supported and being updated include: Rise of Flight and IL-2: Battle of Stalingrad (with Battle of Moscow officially announced as a stand alone addon in development). On the civy side, there is X-Plane, P3D and FSX Steam edition. On the softcore side there is War Thunder which may not have many fans here but does draw in fresh blood to the genre. So no, this really isn't it. There are a surprising number of options actually, more than there were in the CFS mass extinction of the early 2000's.
Zibell Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 I was actually talking about modern combat aircraft simulators. [sIGPIC]hi[/sIGPIC]

ironmarc Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 The growth of indie gaming and it's ability to be sustainable and sometimes even very very succesful, combined with the fact that technology and knowledge to design games are getting more and more accessible and common, pretty much ended any chances of a particular genre to completely die. If there is a big enough niche, it's likely that it will survive or worse case, that it will come back to life after some time.
ruprecht Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 TBH high fidelity simming is a more vibrant market now than I've ever seen, and I've been into high fidelity sims since the late '90s. DCS has to take a lot of the credit for that. DCS Wishlist: | Navy F-14 | Navy F/A-18 | AH-6 | Navy A-6 | Official Navy A-4 | Carrier Ops | Dynamic Campaign | Marine AH-1 | Streaming DCS sometimes:
westr Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 TBH high fidelity simming is a more vibrant market now than I've ever seen, and I've been into high fidelity sims since the late '90s. DCS has to take a lot of the credit for that. Very much so. I remember a review which compared the DCS mustang against the mustang developed for FSX by that team which do high fidelity add ons. The FSX version came out on top which is a complete farce as it failed to factor in the accuracy of flight models. For high fidelity DCS tops it, and once all flight simmers are fully educated about this more will convert I'm sure. :) RYZEN 7 3700X Running at 4.35 GHz NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080Ti 32gb DDR4 RAM @3200 MHz Oculus CV1 NvME 970 EVO TM Warthog Stick & Throttle plus 11" extension.

Manuel_108 Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 I read that review too, was quite surprised but their argument for the FSX version was also the open world-factor. I never flew the FSX version but it's hardly believeable that the DCS version has a worse FM.
xxJohnxx Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 I have never been really convinced by the flight modell of their C172, although it is said to be quit accurate. In my limited opinion the FM in DCS feels more sound.... Check out my YouTube: xxJohnxx Intel i7 6800k watercooled | ASUS Rampage V Edition 10 | 32 GB RAM | Asus GTX1080 watercooled

Gizmo03 Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 How can you start a thread with such a title just to ask a question like this??????? Be a bit more sensitive :D
joey45 Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Can a mod add a ? to the title please. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.
