Ultra Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Is it just me or does it seem like recently there are a lot of new faces/profiles on the forum and DCS as a whole? It's actually sort of exciting. I'm hoping the game keeps expanding like this and I think it will. The future is looking bright for DCS in more ways than one. :beer:
sobek Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 IMHO there've always been these increments with major releases. Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!
ponhard Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 I constantly try to recruit new pilots :) They are quite impressed when I show them DCS. Startup of the Mig-21 and dogfight with P-51 are always a success! :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Windows 10 Pro - Asus Z370 Prime A - i7-8700K @ 3.70GHz - 32 GB DDR4 - Nvidia GTX 1080 - Oculus Rift CV1 - HOTAS Warthog - CH Pro Pedals Puukko - Kossu - HK Sininen Lenkki
StandingCow Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 1.5 got a decent amount of publicity, and for good reason. I think the carrier ops, F14 and F18 will add to the amount of new folks we get. 5900X - 32 GB 3600 RAM - 1080TI My Twitch Channel ~Moo
Darkwolf Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 I run a facebook group about dcs. We have 2500 member in 1.5 year and for the last 6 month, the daily registrations number is constantly growing so te boost isnt 1.5 related. Its like 10 people a day avg. we check registration, so that ain't bot accounts. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] PC simulator news site. Also....Join the largest DCS community on Facebook :pilotfly:
Ultra Posted November 4, 2015 Author Posted November 4, 2015 That's interesting about the Facebook group Darkwolf. I'm of the mind that the bump is from the 1.5 release, but there is always a steady stream in general. I didn't notice anything to this level with some of the last releases like the Mig-15 or Bf 109, but maybe I'm just being more observant now. I agree StandingCow, carrier ops should lead to another large bump in players. al531246, yeah I think the dialogue with the devs is really great with our community. It's a lot more personal here.
Raven68 Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 I have noticed the increase of late also since 1.5 was on the cusp of being released. I'm glad to see the growth in the genre and especially this series.

Matt's DCS World Video updates have helped tremendously in promoting the series, the past few months. I'm glad he broke out of his shy shell ;) to give us these and hope he continues this path.

Pikey Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 Yes and from the applications we are getting it's also players who stopped a while back for various reasons and are coming back.

gekoiq Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 ^ I bought A10C in early beta, played the crap out of it. Then stopped for various reasons (mainly life) now I got myself a better setup (and finally a TM WH) and I'm really enjoying it again, the new aircraft on the horizon are really exciting to me and the massive updates and progress recently (and F-18c) are what really drew me back in.
Ultra Posted November 4, 2015 Author Posted November 4, 2015 Yes and from the applications we are getting it's also players who stopped a while back for various reasons and are coming back. Yeah I heard that a lot "I'll start playing again when EDGE is here". So that's good that they're back. ^ I bought A10C in early beta, played the crap out of it.

Good to hear! Yeah I'm very excited about some of the modules that are pretty near release, mainly the Mirage and Gazelle.
Slazi Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 Definitely a good thing. I haven't liked the FB page as I don't want all my real life friends to know all of my weird secrets! For me, the frame rate brought me back.
