DCS/TFC-ED assistant app for android and/or apple?

[carss]

Just last sunday I discovered and downloaded the War Thunder assistant app for my Android phone and I absolutely loved it. It keeps track of your in game progress, let's you know which of your friends are playing the game and even allows you to message them. It even shows news from War Thunder, has it's own internet radio and even allows you to buy those golden eagles from within the app.

 

Now I was just thinking, what if we had a DCS assistant app just like this? Here you can check the latest TFC-ED newsletter updates, access the E-store and buy addons from within the app itself, even access the forums. This one can also have an internet radio, however in this case I think we should have multiple genres, stuff in which we can have music like action instrumental, the kind of music that plays in history channel's dogfights programs, then rock for regular rock music, pop, instumental etc for different moods of flying if people like.

 

Another thing we can add is the encyclopedia. Even in the War Thunder there is something called "vehicle" which is basically the encyclopedia showing us all the in game vehicles. I think maybe we could do something similar in this too, and if possible maybe even ability to display low res/high res models in the encyclopedia.

 

What are your views guys? I thought of this and thought it was too good not to share :music_whistling: :thumbup:

I would prefer ED puts their resources into the game itself rather than in such toys, that don't really offer anything valuable IMHO.

 

- You can access the forums on your smart phone just fine without such an app.

- You can just subscribe to the newsletter and you will get notified by email when there are news (or just check in on the news thread every friday).

- Why would you need to buy modules from an app on your phone? You can't install them from there anyways.

- And why should ED provide music? :huh: That's not at all part of their business.

 

Sorry, but it doesn't sound like a good idea at all to me. :noexpression:

Doesn't have to be immediate, but in the near future?

This idea could be viable once DCS reaches the same levels of players as War Thunder.

 

Before that, it's unfortunately a waste of time/money. :/

Hope this doesn't sound bad, but why doesn't ED or Ubisoft put some amount into advertising for this game?

Ubisoft has nothing to do with this game.

 

Advertising costs money. Just look at Games like Call of Duty r GTA, where most of the money is getting spend on advertising. Imagine how much better a game could be if all this money would be spend on the game itself.

Hmm ok, but what about keeping a small amount aside just for this, and maybe we can do online ads like War Thunder does? We also have the potential to create some really amazing videos, so we can do that and create YouTube ads too?

What is that app called? I'd like to download it too. Also IMO I think it could add those other features too.
