Buzzles Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 I'm not going to get excited over this, sure it's an interesting aircraft, but ED have stated they're going through and updating various old models in the game to a much higher standard. The F117 in game now is very old and looks very bad compared to the newer ones, it might simply be that Wags is going to show off a new model along with some new DCS features, probably AI related.

mwd2 Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 One day, high above Arizona , we were monitoring the radio traffic of all the mortal airplanes below us. First, a Cessna pilot asked the air traffic controllers to check his ground speed. 'Ninety knots,' ATC replied. A twin Bonanza soon made the same request. 'One-twenty on the ground,' was the reply. To our surprise, a navy F-18 came over the radio with a ground speed check. I knew exactly what he was doing. Of course, he had a ground speed indicator in his cockpit, but he wanted to let all the bug-smashers in the valley know what real speed was 'Dusty 52, we show you at 620 on the ground,' ATC responded. The situation was too ripe. I heard the click of Walter's mike button in the rear seat. In his most innocent voice, Walter startled the controller by asking for a ground speed check from 81,000 feet, clearly above controlled airspace. In a cool, professional voice, the controller replied, ' Aspen 20, I show you at 1,982 knots on the ground.' We did not hear another transmis sion on that frequency all the way to the coast.

SDsc0rch Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 just an observation... people mention making a particular aircraft an "FC3" aircraft but, its my understanding that ED isn't going to be making FC-level aircraft anymore - any new a/c are to be made to the DCS standard (maybe lower-grade flight model, granted - but still not FC3) i7-4790K | Asus Sabertooth Z97 MkI | 16Gb DDR3 | EVGA GTX 980 | TM Warthog | MFG Crosswind | Panasonic TC-58AX800U [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

lokodehortaleza Posted June 30, 2015 Author Posted June 30, 2015 ED actually never said that. If there is a market for a FC3 level AC, ED or another 3rd party will do it. When we finally get DCS level modern fighters, like the Tomcat, Hornet and Typhoon, we'll see. The hardcore crowd will surely flock to the DCS modules when available, but I guess many guys will keep flying the FC3 aircraft. ED wouldn't bother upgrading the Mig-29 and Su-33 if there wasn't a market. The value you get for your money, pack of 6 aircraft for less money than a single hardcore module, is hard to beat, and you don't need to study a 700 page manual, which is a big plus for the casual player. Many people just want to hop into the cockpit, take off and blow some stuff up without worrying about complicated systems management.

joey45 Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 If they make this module and if it is fully modeled, it would be the most boring module of them all. You would literary fly by pressing buttons or managing the autopilot. I would buy it so I can crash the aircraft over and over. :D I hated and continue to hate that aircraft. From cleaning the aircraft skin with Naphtha to the way the manuals where written, I hate that thing. One of the happiest days of my life is when I took my name off from 810 nose door. From what I heard it was a btch to fly.. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Python Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 (edited) Wise words, FC3 level is quite nice if you like to get more people in flightsims. :) FC3 is good for more than that. I love the full on modules, the attention to detail is what makes me love DCS. However, it is nice to just jump in the F-15c , or the Flankers and just have a bit of relatively simple fun every now and then. With the success of things like War thunder, there is clearly a market for this type of sim/game. Although of course I hope the full modules get the most attention in future as I'm sure they will.

mvsgas Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 From what I heard it was a btch to fly.. The pilots I talk to said the contrary. You took off, engaged autopilot, ensure you where at all the steerpoint/waypoints at a specific time/speed/altitude. Aim and press the pickle button until release, fly back and land. There was no low altitude flying, there was no dynamic flying looking for targets. Most of their time was spent planing. If anything change the plan, they simply aborted the flight. The only difficult parts where formations flying ( because they did not practice it as much as in other airframes) and inflight refueling. Landing one on the simulator ( the only experience I had flying it, did it during engine run class) I got it first try...it was not pretty but no damaged to the simulated aircraft. To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..

"simulation" FC3 is closer to.. "game" I for one 'go' where the flight modeling is best. I did not touch FC3 until they announced that the F15C and Su27 were getting an AFM. I like the added complexity of study sims for historical aircraft and the like, but I have nothing against FC3 aircraft as long as they have an advanced flight model that mimics the real thing as close as possible. This is why any DCS module that still features an SFM will never be something I would buy. Back on topic, I dont think we will see the DCS:F117 anytime soon, I believe that mission is probably a red flag type excercise where you have to find and engage the stealth fighters.

Mizzy Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 F-117 has been retired for about 7 years now, so I wouldn't be surprised if they had enough information to create one for DCS. That doesn't mean that the systems in the aircraft have been declassified !! Mizzy

SDsc0rch Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 That doesn't mean that the systems in the aircraft have been declassified !! Mizzy not picking on "mizzy" alone - but i want to make a comment regarding statements such as these when you say such-and-such "modern" aircraft still has classified systems therefore it can't (shouldn't?) be attempted to model at DCS-level....... you realize what you're REALLY saying is.. you don't think modern aircraft in general should even be attempted - right? why don't you just put it in your signature... "ED, please do not model ANY modern era aircraft because there are classified systems onboard and we don't want you to attempt to simulate any aircraft that isn't 100% verified and validated TRUE-TO-LIFE, no holds barred, no exceptions, no excuses" or, did i miss something? is this simulator called "Digital Old/Declassified/Defunct/Obsolete Combat Simulator"? because that's what it sounds like you want i7-4790K | Asus Sabertooth Z97 MkI | 16Gb DDR3 | EVGA GTX 980 | TM Warthog | MFG Crosswind | Panasonic TC-58AX800U [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
