Why Christen Eagle II?

[Gladman]

I'd prefer DCS sticks with combat aircraft. I'm not against recon, transport or any other aircraft current or historical operational airframe but I do hope the future holds true to items that have been in service. I fully understand there are crossover items but if I wanted to fly an extra 300 I'd be in another sim.

bitter disappointment of epic scale

[kontiuka]

Just curious, where is the official announcement for this?

 

I'll consider buying it down the road. Have way too many modules to learn right now.

True but this is on us :huh:. I respect their view point and maybe I'll give it a go. I am still enthusiastic for the mig-21 overhaul tho! :thumbup:

[Jowen G. Bruère-Dawson]

I'm really disapointed.

 

It's in the Title : Digital COMBAT Simulator. As a buyer, I don't agree with you're vision of the sim. I hope DCS will not compete with the 2 other big civilian flight simulators (seriously !? How many years ? And we still not have an ATC !?)

 

You've made the Fishbed, which need correction right now and you're ''big'' announcement is this !?

 

Anyway, it will be without my money and my little help. I think you've made a mistake.

 

However, I sincerely wish you good luck for this project and the future ones.

 

Best wishes and cheers from France !

 

P.S. : you see BIGNEWY ? I havn't mentionned the name of other sims, lessons learned xD ;)

On their website.

I respect your decision but I'm disappointed... Like other members already said it's a combat simulator. There are other options out there for the civilian market type aircraft and I'm not gonna mention them because we all know what they are.

 

I hope people will support you by buying this plane but I can't justify it to myself since I think it does not belong here. That being said I appreciate your effort and I wish the best.

[Krippz]

I don't get why people feel that they need to complain about a dev's choice in what aircraft that they develop. Like if you don't like it don't buy it. The sense of entitlement in this community knows no bounds. We're a small enough community to begin with it's better to be supportive verbally or financially of a teams endeavors than engage in toxic laced rants that serve no one, let alone our community.

[Coxy_99]

If it was a transport aircraft for logistics i would say ok, Im not to sure where were going, Certainly some good debates likes and dis likes.

thanks muchly

[kolga]

Considering the bashing they got during the time of crickets i think they are entitled to mess with us a bit.

[Temp89]

I would rather have the massive development barrier to entry of having to replicate a military aircraft rather than risking devs wavering and deciding to develop civi aircraft for DCS because it's the easier option.

Im not upset about this module being made.

Though i feel like the week of hyping it up was probably a mistake

might have been better to just announce it without using Hints to build up hype / expectations as that was bound to leave some people angry and disappointed.

 

I probably wont get this module as this type of aircraft is not what i play DCS for but good luck with sales i wish you all the best

as the More 3rd party devs we have creating stuff the better it is for us all

(even if we might not agree with all of their choices when it comes to modules)

[VIKBELL]

Good luck with the aircraft.

[Rangi]

I think I will like it.

[Crowbar]

What a disappointment after a week of building all this hype but I still wish you all the best.

[castor]

Good luck, but do not buy it

[Phantom88]

KOOL!!! Something Different and Like The DCS Yak a Compiete surprise!!! Keep up the great work and All The Very Best to The Team in the New Year!!:thumbup:

[splash]

Good luck and I hope it will the first of many modules from Magnitude 3 LLC.

[TheKrayTwin]

I think anyone using VR with an interest in aerobatics and general pure stick control will love this. With an accurate flight model it will be a great challenge of pure flight control.

[mr_mojo97]

I dunno. I always liked the Pitts 2 Special so this is a fairly similar frame. I really see no issue with it. Why not have red bull air races around Nevada or aerobatics? Who cares what DCS stands for? Depends how much it’s gona sell for, if it’s cheap enough I’ll prob get it for a laugh - use loads of them for some aerial gunnery practice or something. Beautiful model though

[WHOGX5]

Because the love for aviation extends outside strictly military aircraft bounds.

 

DCS is a simulation platform, a powerful one. We strongly believe it could be extended outside its initial military purpose. Together with Eagle Dynamics SA and The Fighter Collection we introduce one beautiful civilian airplane to this world, opening the door for new things to come.

 

We imagine future of DCS as a general world simulating platform where almost anything could be simulated. Our Christen Eagle II is a small step toward that future.

 

We know the Christen Eagle II will find its way into the hearts of many. What matters here is that we bring more choice to DCS, extending and enriching it, making it more accessible to the people within and outside the current community, attracting them to come to DCS and play, and educating them about the reach world of aviation.

 

Limitations are just imaginary.

 

We go beyond.

 

Thank you all so very much.

 

I'd buy a 172. I'd buy a 737. Heck, I'd even buy a proper glider. But a CE2!?!? No way.

I'd love a c130, kc135, or il78 in game and think alot of people would buy then as well. What do all those aircraft have in common: they have a tangible place in support roles during combat, they can serve two roles while still expanding DCS' reach to the civ market as well.

 

Its great theyre trying slmething different and standing behind their work, but honestly I wouldve rathered they stepped in another direction.

 

Best of luck with the ce2 though:thumbup:

[Patersonski]

Hmm, acrobatic biplane... This may be a stepping stone to WW1. If it ultimately proves popular and/or cost effective someone is bound to try a Camel/Fokker combo. The fact that ED approved the CE2 means they’re more open to new ideas than we thought.

I can't believe this is real, and after all the week with the game of the clues...EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED! I thought it was a joke, and you even stopped mig-21 updated for this?¿?¿?:doh:
