Next Q&A?

[NineLine]

So seeing as the previous Q&A with Nick was so well received, lets do another.

 

What would you like to do for the next Q&A, is there an individual or a subject you would like to see a series of questions on?

 

You can find the previous Q&A here: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=207133

 

Let me know what you want to talk to ED about, or who at ED you want to talk to!

 

Once I get some good ideas from you, I will take them back to the team and set up the next questions gathering thread.

 

Thanks!

Will we see better performance in the near future, Considering the issues others are running into with multi player etc, Can we see an improvement and how will you guys go about this?

 

When will we see bombs on the spitfire?

 

How is the Mig-29 PFM coming along?

 

Update on the damage model, Not just for modern aircraft but WW2 aircraft also?

 

Whats next on the asset pack list?

 

Can we see multi engine WW2 aircraft in the future?

Quoting myself:

 

I got a question... when is a Lancaster com...

 

Just kidding. Let me try that again.

 

Q: How reliable are engine starts for old warbirds still flying after more than 70 years? We often see a number of attempted starts at airshows and it seems that getting a reliable start can be sometimes problematic for old machinery. Could Mr. Grey share some of his experiences regarding the reliability and maintenance side of these birds? These aspects can sometimes be neglected in the world of simulators... so I'd be quite interested to see what he has to say about that.

[NineLine]

Sorry guys, just to be clear, we are just picking a person or subject right now, then I will run it by ED, then I will collect questions :)

 

IE, do you want another Nick Q&A, someone else at ED, or a certain subject?

[Charly_Owl]

Nick Q&As are quite interesting. I want more of them.

[Magic Zach]

I have three separate questions, feel free to answer any.

 

•Are you happy with how realistic the startups of the Mustang and Spitfire in DCS are? The startup always seems straightforward, instead of having the little hiccups I see the real life counterparts have, including oil smoke, which is missing in DCS.

 

•Will we ever see a Griffon-variant Spitfire in DCS, such as the Spitfire Mk XIV?

 

•With Mag3 working on a Corsair, will we ever see a Pacific Theater map to accommodate it?

 

Edit: Sorry Nine, just refreshed the page and see your comment above.

Yea someone from ED to talk about performance and the core of DCS The subject anyway.

Agree, someone who can talk about the high level plans and vision for the long term.

[Johnny_Rico]

Any date on when the dedicated server will be done? Kinda been a long time coming

Yea dont mean to debate but i dont care about the next module, But multi player and the core needs to get better. Should be the topic from any ED team.

My vote

Who: The one the only Matt Wagner

Subject: Anything other than the Hornet and Persain Gulf. Something different this time.

[sirscorpion]

Multiplayer performance, Lack of Redfor, MissileFM/explosion/damage model performance.

[Silver_Dragon]

 

•With Mag3 working on a Corsair, will we ever see a Pacific Theater map to accommodate it?

 

Mag3 was plans to a Iwo Jima theatre with IAs

[SDsc0rch]

Mission Planning

 

Any news on flight planning tools? The current SP tools are very limited and not available in MP.

Putting in Lat/Long waypoint data in cockpit is not only very time consuming but also unrealistic. Fuel planning will be very important around the carrier and can't be done with ingame tools.

[Vitormouraa]

Yo-Yo, please! I would love to see him talking about the challenges of a module development.

 

It's been a few years since I watched the interview with Yo-Yo, and I always wanted to see him talking a bit more!

I second this, maybe rephrase to specifically include data cartridge sharing/reusing? Lot's of different modules support customization, but not everything works from the cockpit. I'd love to have the abillity to share flightplans with multiple pilots in MP.

 

 

My own question: Any plans for F10 map interface improvements for the GCI/ATC role?

Would like to hear about the following: Multiplayer performance, net-code, damage model refinements.

F111 ?

When did development first start on the F/A-18 and for how long? What would you say was the biggest hurdle that you had to overcome as a team during the development period?

[KirkaFordis Rex]

I'd love to hear from Matt about the upcoming carrier module. Or anybody at ED about the plans for DCS in the next 6-12 months.

[schurem]

what does the DCS roadmap look like? of course no ETA's or anything set in stone, just a bit of a look at the long term plan.

[Ocelotunit]

Are there plans for Navy specific callsigns, or more callsigns in general?
