DCS World Video News and Q&A for October 25th, 2015 (Discussion)

This might just be a placeholder. Also % are easier when you don't know your aircraft (just like % rpm is easier to understand than the actual number of rpms). degrees would make more sense (but IMO it's not super important :))

 

 

Of course. I just didn't know whether or not my assumption was right. :)

It was right then ;)

Depends on aircraft, but yes you are correct, it is typically in degrees. However some, I know Airbus does this, use numbers. In the case of Airbus they have the position 1,2,3,4. And others, more so in the case of light GA aircraft have an up, takeoff, and landing position. I've never seen any aircraft use percent though

 

It was right then ;)

 

 

Haha. :) good to know. Thanks guys. :D

I've noticed the taxilines appearing close in front of the airplane.This is the problem I have with 1.5 as well and only can sort this out by maxing out the anisotropic filter to 16x.

Thanks as always for doing this Wags!

AF 16x doesn't really impact performance though does it, I always understood that AA was the troublesome one, so why not max out AF?

I also want to thank you Matt and Zeus for that Q&A!

 

As for the flight model: I also have no use for a SFM. That's why I have avoided SFM aircraft in DCS so far. But I understand the huge challenge behind modelling an EFM/PFM and why they beta release it with SFM. I guess I will use it to learn the avionics and systems but I won't really play it until it has an EFM.

But again, I'm not criticizing. It's totally reasonable how they do it and as long as we get an EFM for the full release I'm fine.

 

 

Thanks by the video Wags, but if my question was not answered on the video, I assume them as a NO.

 

My question: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2503723&postcount=2

What do you mean by that? There is no special GCI in DCS. What we have is nothing else than a ground based (A)WACS so to say and it works exactly the same as the airborne version. Just a ground radar that has been given AWACS functionality. Since I'm sure that the M2000 will have radio communication, it will also be able to contact AWACS and make use of GCI.

So in short: Answer should be YES.

Thanks for the Q&A and the video, also thanks for answering my question. It's too bad that force feedback options 'might' only be added after the open beta because I was really hoping to experience what it 'felt' like to fly a fully tailless delta-winged plane, but it is what it is. (I didn't even know how the FBW works and what kind of feedback it provides in the real plane) Fingers crossed though! I am very interested in the module nonetheless, but like a few others will wait for the EFM to become available before purchasing.

I was only wondering about it as it should not have a connection from my point of view.
