Any data how DCS modules are developed?

[Alfredson007]

Has Eagle Dynamics or 3rd party developers ever told how they develop their great modules? Particulary, how much real actual aircrafts are used? Are they used almost never or almost always? These are rare birds most we fly.. and how extensive the flight tests are if they are made? Do they mainly rely on manuals, other literature and pilot tales? Are there any videos or diaries of development to be seen?

Oh, the real ones are used allright when gaining access is possible... sometimes even used too much (yes, DCS Spitfire, I'm looking at you, with your historically inaccurate components and paintscheme copied too eagerly from the real MH434 :D)

 

As for the flight modelling, the best vid on the subject, featuring the No.1 physics man in the company, was related to the L-39 (don't forget to turn on relevant subtitles, unless your Russian is fluent ;) ):

Hey wow, thanks alot, very nice video. I love the L-39. I just wish it would get a bit more love to get some graphical update, details mainly, maybe some scrathes to canopy and so on.

Thank you, I can't rep your post. :noexpression:

Really interesting to see some one of the creators of this world

My choice would be too skip the canopy scratches. We pilots should do our best not to scratch the glass and make sure the bugs are cleaned off before we go again.
