AeriaGloria Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Take for example when the PFMs were made. The opportunity to sell each plane individually with PFM probably allowed them add AFM to the missiles. While it may not have made the missiles perfect, it is ground work for the future, like what happened with AIM-7 and next R-27 with CFD and autopilot Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTR Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 (edited) Where is the MAC update? Development Report #2 We had hoped to share more information about Modern Air Combat (MAC) this week, but the information wasn’t quite ready. This was 5 newsletters ago. Did I miss smth? How long does it take to write down 5 lines of what has been done in the last year with some WIP screens? Sometimes its better not to tease people, if you can't deliver. ED please improve your communication strategy! ;-) Edited November 16, 2019 by CTR replaced unicode smily [sigpic][/sigpic] Flanker driver since 1996 DxDiag.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blitze Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 ECM weaknesses? Limitations / Strengths of the specific systems employed by the various aircraft represented in the package given their model and year of service introduction.

It's all relative but accurate representation even if we get simplified operation of said systems.:thumbup: I’m excited for MAC, but don’t expect things to change on the ECM front for many years. There is just no reliable documents that point out their strengths and weaknesses. And just doing it by the newest plane wins is probably not the way ED wants to do it. I would be happy if they add something like false target deception, but we’re basically stuck with the noise jamming we have. I think the noise jamming does have different ranges depending on who’s doing the locking Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blitze Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 After dipping my toes into the DCS FC world - I too am excited for MAC and what it will bring. Hope there are also a good compliment of training missions for different aircraft to help. Find them quite useful on the Su25 and 27. Also like how well DCS runs on my system with VR and it looks like ED are on a good path with future engine developments. Just have to learn how to use the systems effectively in combat instead of panic and going locked up when my warning systems go off. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razo+r Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 What happened to MAC? I mean, we got a trailer, a few vague news/infos about it and that's it. What happened to it? Any news? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dburne Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 I think they decided to expand quite a bit on the original concept and that has pushed it back.

Boneski Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 What is MAC? My mission is to fly, fight, and win. o-:|:-o What I do is sometimes get a tin of soup, heat it up, poach an egg in it, serve that with a pork pie sausage roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=Mac= Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Oh. :huh: I thought you meant me.:music_whistling: Nevermind. The Hornet is best at killing things on the ground. Now, if we could just get a GAU-8 in the nose next to the AN/APG-65, a titanium tub around the pilot, and a couple of J-58 engines in the tail...

Avimimus Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 We will share more news when the team are ready. Currently the team are working to complete all features currently. thanks Well, we have some news... and it kindof makes me feel like Flaming Cliffs might be being abandoned... there are basic quality of life features such as being able to change the settings for the cluster bombs (even prior to the mission would be nice) and fixing things broken in updates. I was also somewhat hoping that MAC would pave the way for medium fidelity models for aircraft like the Su-17 or newer aircraft... and it might... but I do wonder if the 'action' focus will lead to a loss of underlying realism... cockpits do not have to be clickable to have sensor modelling... but the 'action' settings for the Ka-50 and other modules have removed many of the system limitations in addition to simplifying controls (and thus made the aircraft overpowered).

LCUChap2016 Posted January 13, 2020 Author Share Posted January 13, 2020 MAC doesn't appear to be marketed toward the bleeding-edge realism the rest of DCS is geared for. It'll be interesting to see how it shakes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team NineLine Posted January 14, 2020 ED Team Share Posted January 14, 2020 MAC doesn't appear to be marketed toward the bleeding-edge realism the rest of DCS is geared for. It'll be interesting to see how it shakes out. Nope, it is not, it's for lower learning curves, and quicker to the action, and less about procedures and by the book.

Cunctator Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 It will be interesting to see if MAC is open to third parties. I would think that it could be a very interesting platform for companies like Razbam, which have more 3D modelers than coders and a lot of very hot aircraft on their plate.

Tom Kazansky Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I wonder if MAC's attraction is planned to be generated from providing aircraft that can't be modelled in DCSW like Typhoon, F-35, F-22, SR-71, Growler, B-52, B-2... and all the modern Russian stuff?
