Wizard_03 Posted December 29, 2018 Posted December 29, 2018 I ll buy it as soon as it comes out Me too, not cause I want it.. but only because I want my MiG back...so I’ll support the devs who can help :) DCS F/A-18C :sorcerer:
jeffdude Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 Congratulations to the whole Magnitude 3 team! This looks like a lot of fun to fly! can't wait to try my copy in January. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Phantom453 Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 After having so much fun with the Yak-52 (waaaay more than I expected) and for $24.00, I'll be getting this one too. looks like a lot of fun, especialy with a bit of Red Bull racing.

golani79 Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 If I buy this - will I get a Zero some day? :joystick: :pilotfly::D >> DCS liveries by golani79 <<
Mizzy Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 I was going to give this a miss but decided it's actually what I like doing most in DCS. I have never been online but can see some great opportunities to try my skills against others in this little Eagle. Mizzy 1

yeager Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 During the VFAT and in the yak52 as well I noticed while ago a weird sound footprint with the aircraft in the distance. Yak52 sounded like a jet. Is It being worked out or anyone from devs got any clues about the CE2 ?
Wizard_03 Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 (edited) by showing them that you will buy a plane that you dont want? the correct way would be vote with your money and DONT buy anything from them until they fix the MiG What happens when they go out of business? There’s a lot of planes in DCS I don’t want, but they’re aren’t a whole lot of developers for flight sims left. So rather then be a ‘customer’ about it. I’m gonna do my part to support the people that may eventually be able get the things I do want in the sim. That’s my thoughts on it, but your free to have your own viewpoint.

yeager Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 I know that. I Just wanted to know if the CE 2 might have the same audio footprint or not as It Is a prop plane as the yak52. Cheerio.

yeager Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 Ok fair enough. Secondly i do not know how many of you are flying in VR , but, given the relative immature resolution of our HMDs, can the devs shed some light on how good the instrument panel Can Be seen from the pilot seat with Oculus / vive / odyssey ? This Is something to think about.
Thudster Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 Flight Model is Everything It looks pretty, seems well laid out. Multi-Player is definitely a huge plus. My interest will be set in the flight model. An iffy-flight model on a pretty plane just won't do. I'm very much looking forward to the reviews by RL pilots regarding the behavior and responses. There are several high time RL Aerobatic pilots around DCS who can give keen insight as to the behavior relative to RL and simulation. Which isn't the same as the numbers matching the performance specs. My continued disappointment with the Eagle Dynamics produced prop plane flight models, especially the P-51D and Yak, makes me a skeptic from experience. RL pilots continue to bemoan the mess the current Mustang and Yak flight models are, yet no real change in either has occurred in DCS. I'm very hopeful this team is capable of a much better product! Given the MiG 21 I do expect this team can produce a better product than we've gotten from the DCS team in prop planes. My Perspective: I will pay more for a more accurate flight model rather than pay less for a sooner available less capable product. Hence, not a pre-purchase for me - let's see the product shine!!!

Bogey Jammer Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 But… for the armchair pilots of us, performance specs (and flight data records) are much more believable than some big mouthed RL pilots :huh: I'll buy : МиГ-23МЛД & МЛА МиГ-27К МиГ-25 Mirage III F-4E any IJ plane 1950' Korea Dynamic campaign module
Boss86005 Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 Great news and a definite purchase for me! Hope to see other aerobatic aircraft in the future such as an Extra 330 and Sukhoi Su-26.

ilya1502 Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 (edited) Guys, I mean no offense, just trying to be clear. I've watched the trailer and I can't see what people are so excited about. The graphics of the inside of the cockpit are so poor they reminded me of freeware models of the MS Flight Simlulator 2004 era. Good enough for that time, but not in 2019... Now, I understand the trailer won't let me assess things like flight dynamics, but, let's put it straight, every content creator has claimed their FD to be a pinnacle which it not always turned to be. And the infamous example is the Yak-52 released not long ago which, besides that, has many issues with systems and instruments that developers are not hurrying to correct. The trailer of the Eagle, besides the fact that it's poorly directed and cut, brought to me a complete disappointment. And you're asking $23.99 for the pre-release, saying it's by 20% lower than the final price... So it's going to be $30? Seriously? And you're asking this for the aircraft which has never been really popular even in civilian sims! You here want Extras and other stuff, which is cool by itself, but aren't those aircraft available for other sims already? I am not hostile to civilian sims per se, but the point is, in the beginning DCS was so cool for its idea of modern aerial combat, and there are heaps of aircraft there that are left untouched. There are all the MiGs (17, 19, 23, 25, 27), Il-28, Su-7, Su-24, F-100, F-104, F-105, F-111, F-4, Tornado, Jaguar, A-4, A-7, heaps of helicopters. And that's just to name a few. But thanks to efforts of teams like this DCS is led into being yet another civilian sim. And far not the best I should say. Edited January 2, 2019 by ilya1502
Hiromachi Posted January 2, 2019 Author Posted January 2, 2019 I wish my cockpits looked like that back in the MS FS 2004 era: As for flight dynamics and flight model. I've reached to our tester and actual CE2 pilot to write a post, once we complete testing of the FM and make sure everything is as he experiences it, about his feelings and impressions of the FM. I know this is the single most important thing you guys are expressing your concerns, so we're doing everything possible to deliver best. And you will get comment on that from actual pilot. 1 AMD Ryzen 5900X @ 4.95 Ghz / Asus Crosshair VII X470 / 32 GB DDR4 3600 Mhz Cl16 / Radeon 6800XT / Samsung 960 EVO M.2 SSD / Creative SoundBlaster AE-9 / HP Reverb G2 / VIRPIL T-50CM / Thrustmaster TPR Pendular Rudder Pedals / Audio Technica ATH-MSR7

ilya1502 Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 I wish my cockpits looked like that back in the MS FS 2004 era: I can't say for sure which planes you flew back then, but for me this cockpit graphics is not even close to the 2019 standards. I'm looking at your screenshots and I just can't help seeing how flat the main panel is and how cartoonish is the rest. As for flight dynamics and flight model. I've reached to our tester and actual CE2 pilot to write a post, once we complete testing of the FM and make sure everything is as he experiences it, about his feelings and impressions of the FM. Sir, I appreciate your devotion, but I've been involved in professional flight simulation (that is, commercial full flight simulators) testing for 10 years by now, and I can tell you that "feelings and impressions" of a person, whether they are a tester or a real pilot, is the least reliable proof for flight dynamics modelling. I've got tons of situations when I had one pilot saying that the sim was flying absolutely like the real thing and then another one who was saying 10 minutes later that the sim wasn't even close. So I personally wouldn't consider this approach as a mark of high quality. Subjective evaluation has its place, although small, but only objective data can be the primary proof. Now, don't get me wrong, I don't expect a model for $30 to be of a commercial FFS level, but at the same time I've been modelling FD for different flight sim games since 1998 and I know you can't just rely on one persons impressions, however a good pilot they are, if you want to make a good thing.
