I agree!

Doesn't fit the current plane setup at all. If, then only in tandem with the Hayate

This is so old, but so true.

After excitedly reviving a thread after seven years you will also be elated to learn that Magnitude3 has been working on this for a considerable amount of time.

Ngl I literally just went to the very back of the Wish list and asked "What hasn't been implemented yet?" and I just saw the Corsair and revived a 7 year old thread. I already know Magnitude 3 LLC is working on it but I hope they're not as bad as VEAO. We all hope a VEAO-like developer doesn't come to DCS, nor does a current dev turn into VEAO. (Razbam was like VEAO at first but then we realized Razbam actually followed through on their many promises)

How dare you say that. M3 was once upon a time a part of HeatBlur, so M3 has some street cred around there here parts.

Chill out I didn't say M3 was as bad as VEAO I just heard some things being floated around a long time ago about M3 doing bad stuff, so I was a bit worried. In fact, it was RAZBAM who I compared to VEAO not M3.

On another note, I just realized DCS has its own campaigns (They're kinda like movies and series if you think about it), devs judged by the community on the forum (Like on the street) and other similarities to real life (Social interactions via servers), so it's nice to see DCS having such a large and active community.

The fact that someone can spend 7 years to attempt making a single simple plane for this game is deeply troubling…

Not judging (or defending) the time frame here (that depends heavily on team size I'd assume) - but I don't think that there is anything "simple" about that process.

There’s this other really beautiful looking sim that got one done in a few months. Just sayin…

[Hiob]

Ouch, that comparison hurts...

But again - how big (and how well funded) are the involved teams? Couldn't that be an important factor?

Right. That’s why it’s disturbing. It reveals how few players this game actually has. That there aren’t enough to fund it’s development. 

[Hiob]

Well, DCS is a niche product, even in the sim-genre - that's no question I think.

But from my perception, they're doing well. There was quite a growth in the past two years. And judging by the fast growing number of third party developers, it can't be sooo bad. There seem to be an incentive for 3rd parties to join DCS. Don't you think so?

Still, some 3rd Party developers are very small and have more in common with enthusiasts than with a full fledged game developer.

Edit:

And I'd like to add, I think that it is likely, that sooner or later A developement for DCS will die on the way. That's just how things are. Not everyone will always make it to the finish line. But I don't think that such an event would be critical for DCS as a whole.

Just would like to remind people: the fact that there was a wishlist thread for the Corsair seven years ago does not mean that M3 has been working on it for seven years.

[Hammer1-1]

yeah but they could have been...it takes a while to build one of these monsters. Honestly takes more time to design these for games than it does to literally build them IRL.

Thankfully they are making one today.
