I'm wondering about the new TM stick. Isn't the A-10C's basically the same as the F-16C's?

 

Yes. Identical I believe, aside from movement.

Yes, the new part is you can buy it without the base now, if you already own a Warthog stick, then it's not for you probably. They aligned this announcement with the DCS Viper in order to highlight its release, not an attempt to money grab or trick anyone.

 

For those flying the F-16, who in the world would buy each separately? The current Warthog stick/base is cheaper than if you bought the new stick and base individually. The announcement seems to capitalize on the DCS Viper release, not highlight it.

Yeah, the more I read into it - the less sense it makes.. So is the “F16” stick just going to come in a new box? It’s not going to have an option for limiting the throw of the stick movement? Because other than that possibility, it’s the same stick as the A10.... I get the marketing side, but other than that - really doesn’t seem to make any monetary sense on the consumer side - at least to me. But best of luck for sales from the advert.

Probably going to stop selling the warthog set soon....what is it around $400ish for the set. Instead they’ll move to sell everything individually...$230 grip, probably $100 base, probably $250 throttles. They’d significantly up the price while marketing “customization”. Kinda shady for a product that hasn’t really changed in years but hey smart on the bean counters.

ED/DCS/TFC you guys just keep hitting home runs, and making me happy.

 

Not even a rotor head, but the OH-58 will be an awesome addition.

 

New Damage Model, that once implemented for WWII birds, the potential into other areas like fast movers and ME/CA are limitless.

 

As a Kickstarter participant, so amazing that you are closing in on release of the P-47!!

 

ME-262 eventually also. Exciting times!

I guess the new damage model could be even more appreciated if you guys showed it in a video. Those pics look interesting already but I think you got to "feel" it. Ripping off a wingtip bc you aimed at it or hitting a certain engine of a bomber. Hope progress allows such a clip soon. Looking forward to this game changer system.

wing flex and flutter is a response to the flight model.

Sorry to be off the actual topic but I have to leave a big WOW for the new wing flex video somewhere :thumbup:

 

I it looks super cool, I wonder if it actually has any impact on the aerodynamics like it would IRL?

 

ETA. Hah, already answered.

Does anyone knows which aircraft does he mean here ?

 

" Is there hope for an F-4 Phantom? If so, would it be off the mark wishing that the developer is Heatblur using the multi-crew experience and technology created building the Tomcat?

 

The Phantom is such a legendary aircraft that we will certainly simulate it. For now, we already have another aircraft (an eagerly awaited one) to work on after the Viper "

 

Thank you
