AI Update

[Shadow KT]

Maybe after this big wave of modules comes out, e.g: The Hornet, The Tomcat, The Harrier, even the F-4 Phantom II and the Hind, lets not forget the terrains as well, ED should focus on the AI logic and player interaction in real time such as the ATC, AWACS, JTAC, ect. And the mission building and planing in-game (dynamic as well). Update the old, classic modules (textures, bugs, systems).

 

With all these modules coming out we will really have the ground to make some complex and immersive battlefields. A-10s being used as OA-10s ^.^ and so on.

 

Just a thought out there, maybe you think they should just keep making modules :).

I bet when 2.5 is deployed ED will focus his main effort into a deep and strong update of DCS base core features, bug fixing and improved perfomance, stability, net code, etc.

 

Like hey, we finally have our awaited base DCS, we will take a deep breath and lets start to polish and improve our core simulator before adding more things.

[Magic Zach]

Yep. ED taking a breather from creating modules and smoothing out the already existing modules, and I'm talking a bit more than just bug fixes. I got a craving for a PFM for the MiG-29!

Can the P-47D-30 squeeze into your list? She's a big bad girl, but I'm sure she can fit...

Hopefully, this is what this thread is all about

NO, we agreed on no new modules :D till it is polished.

 

Just a reminder, voting is quick and it doesn't hurt ^.^

AI improvements are always welcome. Voted Yes.

Umm...no new modules, yet you say this polishing thing should go down after the Tomcat, Harrier, F/A-18, etc. You do realize ED is working on a P-47, don't you?

+1 This needs to happen, it just seems to be all over the place at the moment. Nothing quite finished.

Agree. The foundation needs to be in stone, solid and not prone to fooking up previously working features when changes are made.

Very much this!

ooops, we can skip on that :D :music_whistling: :megalol:

AI is definitely something to be worked on. With their lack of proper DM, and lack of constraints of the laws of physics SP can be ridiculous at times.

You are right, keep em coming

[Solty]

I think that this whole AI interaction update should be postponed as well. We still need damage model overhaul and new effects and better sound system.

I believe the AI should be priority, updating damage models is part of the polishing we were talking about, and with EDGE and DCS 2.5 Coming around I don't think more visual and sound updates need to be pushed

[diditopgun]

Yes AI and radio coms should be the priority.

Currently DCS is an empty and silent world with the worst flight sim's IA.

I agree, AI should come after we have proper DM and effects.

[Shadow KT]

You guys still haven't seen DCS 2.5, but okey... I guess it is your opinion. That is why we have the pole

[51thPolux]

Before improving it, where is the AI in DCS? thank you

[Exorcet]

I'm curious as to why you would consider the damage modeling a priority over AI. To me they're the same thing. Having only one or the other won't be nearly as impressive as having both. Even more so if the AI update includes GCI, flight/package coordination, etc.

[Angelthunder]

I think the AI will improve over time once DCS 2.5 is out and working.

[Chrinik]

Unfortunately, taking a break from releasing modules and fixing on the base core, while appreciated, does not make them money and is thus unsustainable.

 

They have to keep making the dosh so they can keep making free stuff for us.

[MikeMikeJuliet]

ED and/Wags have stated quite recently that AI is being worked on as we speak, so is damage model, and a new ATC system has been promised a long time ago.

 

So all of these issues are already in the pipeline. No disrespect, but I wonder if anyone here have read a single post that has been given from the officials recently. Here: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=191622

[Shadow KT]

Yes, at least I do. But as I have written in the first post, by the time all those modules have gotten out, probably an year and a half or even more would have past. So there is a big window to work on them + that they already are. It is more of a support showing for the idea I guess

[HeadHunter52]

Gimme my correct Stang and my Jug, and y'all can do what you like...

I've read it too. I just hope they make it so when an enemy AI is damaged they don't fly along as if nothing happened. If I start bobbing around due to a little damage on my wing they should be bobbing around if there's a hole in theirs.

 

Here's an example of an AI P-51 I damaged and he still could fly straight & level and, as seen in the screenshot, make perfect turns to follow waypoints. I took just a little damage to the wing of my Fw-190 and could barely keep it from spinning during a fight with a Spitfire.
