Art-J Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Something is not right here...it has to be a joke or just a side project. Why would they need to develop a full aircraft module to test WWII prop tech? Not to mention the tech in the Eagle II is from the 1970’s, not 1940’s... a) they develop their own flight models from ground up, without ED's assistance, but they've got no experience with props whatsoever. One has to create some testbed for that, and if there's some money that can be made as a bonus, than why not? They built this thing anyway. Mind you, ED's Mustang was originally a technology testbed too, only later developed into a commercial product; b) '70's or '40s or 2048, doesn't matter - the newtonian physics remains the same, and so do propeller effects, which need to be programmed in, see: a); I'm not going to purchase this one, but if it allows M3 to get some more experience before finishing the F4U project which I'm very much looking forward to, then I can live with that. That being said, Rudel has outdone himself with his trolling mastercraft this time :D i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.

tryphon77 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Still thinking this is a joke but... damn...so out of fun. If the real module is somewhat disappionting then they gonna be screwed for real ! For that specific episode of over-teasing at least.

exray Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I think they'd have been better off just finishing the Corsair and tuning the FM as needed. The lack of Mig21 attention and the week of teasing leading to this controversial module is just a bit too much. To be honest though, this thread has over 40,000 views in a week. I'll bet there are enough people out there who will spend $30 for this. They might regret it a couple days later, but they'll shell out. i7-4790k @ 4.4GHZ, 32GB G.

chev255 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 To me the problem is not the choice of aircraft - I will not buy it but they are free to do what they want - the problem is the hype they built around the announcement!

kolga Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 The development of the corsair does not require the creation of this as a complete module as a step. I greatly respect you and your posts, but may i ask how you know that it what they are doing does not require a fully functioning test-bed?

MikeMikeJuliet Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Turn on subtitles on the youtube video, in the end when you hear the cricket sound it says "confused crickets" Are the crickets used as a metaphor for us customers? They've gotta have known this would cause an uproar... But so many things don't add up... the loading error -video... The low framerate of the CE2 announcement video and the fact that it is made in 1.5 as opposed to 2.x or even 2.5 (like every other module-video recently). If that CE2 is able to hover by it's propeller, then I'll get it just to annoy the heck out of Harrier pilots :D DCS Finland | SF squadron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lithion Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 (edited) IMO If they went the way ED did with the Yak-52: explain how this would benefit their company, and the design of future planes, I'd be a lot more understanding. Now I just feel disappointed in the overhyping this thread has seen/caused (the community to itself, to be fair). The people who normally wouldn't be interested in the GEII are ticked off, and some who would've considered it are now disappointed in the announcement.
