Is it a bird? Is it a super bird?

[AndytotheD]

Yea this wont go over easily.. A lot of hype for a DCS: Non-combat biplane?

 

I mean it makes sense for M3. With the loss of half the team, to produce a cheap module(minimal avionic systems) with easily accessible data. I just dont think the DCS fan base is interested TBH.

 

Meanwhile Heatblur produced the Viggen and are approaching release on the Tomcat. I struggle to believe and truly hope that they they'd do something with as little community interest as an acrobatic biplane.

I basically never see the prop guys complaining about jets, maybe that is why it seems there isn't community interest.

Yes, however they also had the F4U mostly done. But M3 decided to hold off on it until they had a proper environment and opponent(ie the A6M). It could be that they thought this would make them money in the mean time. Time will tell if this works out. (if it is a bi-plane)

If that's the case, so much for Digital "COMBAT" Simulator...

[Absha]

Aerobatic sight = aerobatic capability, etc.

 

Or the aerobatic sight was really a recon sight. :lol:

[Beamscanner]

I'm going to be mad if I was right on the money and then overthought everything to the point I was trying to make a square fit into a circle! LOL! :megalol:

 

The rivets match up perfectly. Its gotta be the bi-plane.

[msalama]

as little community interest as an acrobatic biplane.

 

I'd buy it if it was accurately and comprehensively modelled. But then, I'm probably not an average DCS flyer so my opinion doesn't count :unsure:

[Krasniye]

....and I thought the super galeb would be a bad module

[VincentLaw]

Module authors can set the "point value" for destroying targets. It would be funny if the Christen Eagle had a negative point value so your score is decreased for shooting it down. RoE prohibits engagement without visual target identification now! Turns out this plane is the hard counter to Fox 3.

I refuse to believe that.

I am a prop guy, and the reason we don't complain is that we are extremely lucky to have a home in DCS, and even then only through fortuitous circumstance.

[Gunny Highway]

Hype train going full speed reverse back to the station.

[Wizard_03]

If it turns out to be a bi-plane, the moderators are sure going to have a fun weekend lol

[Absha]

Debate already started while nothing is confirmed. Be patient guys.

[rider11]

It’s going to be a gyrocopter...chill out folks...

[Tread_Head57]

I seriously doubt (and hope) they would play these type of games only to reveal a stunt bi-plane. Talk about a major letdown if it turns out to be true.

But....wich one?

[Kappi]

I still feel like DCS needs to "spread its wings" a bit if it's going to become an even bigger player in the flight sim community though. I don't think it would hurt ED to poach a few users of other programs.

 

I love aviation in general and it would be nice to have an all in one sim with more civ aircraft and transports, instead of having to shell out money for different programs with flight models that are all over the place.

 

I think there are some big civil aviation simulators out there, so why bother to get civ aircrafts into a simulator that calls himself Digital COMBAT Simulator. Transports? Sure, because military connection. Trainers? Sure, military users and good platforms to learn the rope. But civ-only aircrafts or dedicated aerobatic planes, sorry but from my perspective a definite "no thank you".

[The LT]

Dear Leatherneck or Magnitude 3 or whatever you should be addressed as,

 

While building hype is fun and dandy, please don't forget to work on modules like the MiG-21Bis, there are plenty of issues to be fixed and worked on before venturing forth.

 

Thank you,

[Kappi]

Flight models, adding variety to the airspace and environment, more realistic than airspace only populated with military aircraft at all times, etc...

 

I agree in terms of AI but player controlled aircraft to populate the airspace would just increases server loads and will end up in frustrated civ pilots being targeted and shot down:music_whistling: You know how that works: "Oh look, a aerobatic plane! Can my missile follow him into that loop?":D

[QuiGon]

Did they really hype up an aerobatic bi-plane for Digital Combat Simulator?

I refuse to believe that.

 

Me too. That also applies to a trainer like the Super Galeb. My hopes are now high for a MiG-29. That would be epic! :shocking:

 

I wonder if todays newsletter will reveal the secret?

I will stand with you then. I support SVTONY and the Aviat/Christen Eagle, and I was not paid for this message.

I hope I don't get banned for posting this or make anyone depressed. But that was a pretty hurtful comment at the wrong time of my life. You don't have to get paid to be passionate about something, though it is nice when you can have both.

 

Some people can't understand that you might like something that they dont't. They might also don't like to hear/read that some people are seeing the glass half full rather than half empty.

 

We have it at every level of this comunity, official forums, unofficial forums, public servers, squardons....

 

It's a bit toxic sometimes....

 

Anyway I hope your health goes better :), but we should stop the off-topic here :).

 

Edit : Not paid either :D.

[Krasniye]

This would be a great plane for Xplane 11, not DCS.

 

Maybe one day they'll have to take the C out of DCS for stuff like this.
