(Joking!!! ) I'm crossing my fingers, eyes, arms, legs and toes that MAC will be released this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCUChap2016 Posted September 18, 2021 Author Share Posted September 18, 2021 The truth is, nobody really knows. I would imagine COVID probably slowed a few things down for them, but it’s largely radio silence. We don’t know if they’ve given up on the project or if they’re just hitting a pause for a couple of years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aircraft, and helicopters, that are too modern and classified to make as full fidelity DCS modules. Maybe even experimental stuff. It could be a lot of fun. Considering the fact that more than a few of them failed to enter production, an F-20 Tigershark would be just as realistic and a lot more fun to play... Win 11Pro. Corsair RM1000X PSU.

spacenavy90 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 I genuinely hope that MAC competes in some way with War Thunder. WT is a great concept, large variety of iconic aircraft to fly in a simplistic way in (somewhat balanced, depending on who you ask) combat against other players. Also it would be great if they copied borrowed the mouse flying system from WT also, that is a ton of fun to use.

Mogster Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I’ve said it before but MAC should be about aircraft ED could never include as full fidelity modules. Stuff that’s way too classified but you can have a fair idea how they work/perform. F22, F35, EF Block 5, SU35, SU57, J15, J20. It’d be a hoot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazduc Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 I see where this topic is being ignored. So I will ask again to keep this subject alive..somewhat. What is going on with MAC ? Come-on guys. The squeaky wheel gets the attention. If those who are interested in MAC ask more often maybe it might lite a fire somewhere.

Its for this reason that I can't stand flying in BFV anymore. But more so because the situational awareness is awful. However their helicopter controls with a gamepad are pretty decent and they actually come close to mimicking the controls on an RC helicopter.

I like the approch of making it easier to step into the world of DCS by adding MAC as an "entry drug" with WT-esque controls, but also VR controller only controls if possible, just to generate interest for the full stuff. But I as someone who has all the modules (and tries to keep it like that in the future) wouldn't see any reason to buy it except for supporting ED. With some assets that DCS won't get in a while this would change. I wouldn't mind having FC3 grade modern things that still are too classified for DCS grade or even some what if stuff (thinking F-23, Arrow, TSR2, Cheyenne and similar).

TomOnSteam Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 I'd really like to see an Apache done in this easier / gamified LO:MAC especially if it has the capability for two players in the same aircraft. Sometimes I want to play with people who don't have anything except for an xbox/ps controller or mouse and keyboard. Something that captures the general feel of flying an apache, but without it being technically complex, as well as having a high investment in hardware and input. Yes I'm probably asking too much --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cockpit Spectator Mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then if MAC has gotten that far along i wonder when DCS community can expect some official announcements. Also Id hope that MAC will include updated cockpits for all of these aircraft, and thus in turn for us module owners. IT would seem silly to release a new game with simplified aircraft with those dated models.
