dissection Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 At the top of my wishlist for DCS-World is a space expansion pack. I would love to see the same amount of detail provided to a spacecraft and historic missions. The idea of even going on a lunar mission is enough to be worth considering.
mytai01 Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 A real time mission to Mars would be a blast! First you launch...then years later you try to land on Mars!

Huckle Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 I can't imagine the amount of detail that would have to go into a shuttle. I'd rather see DCS:Thunderbirds first, but I think the license holders are difficult.
VincentLaw Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 If the new EDGE maps implement a curved Earth then it should be possible to orbit in the game (using a custom FM to get enough velocity), but I doubt that ED is adding a 3D moon with its own gravity to DCS 2.0. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
NeilWillis Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 A moon - and tides - probably necessary for DCS maritime warfare?

Bushikatagi Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) This game basically does exist already. Search for Orbiter 2010, it's a free game being developed by one guy. The next update should be coming sometime this year which is going to include high resolution textures and height maps for most planets. The detail of the physics simulation is pretty intense including things like non-spherical gravity sources, reentry heating, solar pressure, etc. The default game comes with a couple different craft but the internal systems aren't modeled in great detail as some of them are near-future fictional craft. Mostly you just get some MFDs. There are many addons though, some of which model many of the systems and have clickable cockpits. There is a mod to do some of the Apollo missions which includes everything from take off to landing in as much detail as I imagine anyone could need. Edited March 17, 2015 by Bushikatagi
