Just my 2 Cents

[Trondyne]

Would like to see improvement in aircraft module fidelity more closely matching performance of actual aircraft as well as missiles... DCS already seems to have a reputation for accuracy and it would be nice if that could be improved where needed. Also details like gauges matching actual numbers and HUD, etc when possible to be like actual aircraft.

 

And this may seem trivial but I do some game development and I spend a lot of time on trying to get explosions to look good -- For example when planes explode, esp on the ground there could be more of a fireball from fuel, so less smoke ball and more fireball with smoke...

That is already the outspoken goal of DCS.

 

Yes, it is not perfect and there is always room for improvement, but something lapidar like "I wish DCS were better" won't cut it, afaik. You will need to be more specific than that.

 

But be aware, be prepared to back up your claims with facts - a "it feels a bit off" will, again, not cut it. :-)

The only thing I can really complain about, right now, is getting the Shark's cockpit fixed, and DCS has said they are going to do it. We should give DCS a little slack for now, as they are focused on getting out the FA-18C, which is going to bring a lot of improved and before unsimulated systems into the game. Then, of course, it's on to the F-16 with the newly modeled systems.

Got some specific examples of incorrect aircraft performance & incorrect gauge readings ?

(Excepting the Huey - which has known, discussed issues & is being corrected).

That's a pretty good point. Regarding explosions! More realistic explosions with sound to go with it would make using weapons feel more destructive or make the so called flight sim experience more impressive. We have such beautiful work on things such as the Hornet, F14, WWII modules and theater, As far as making the Jet more realistic, I think in all truth, our wants will always keep growing. If they made these jets more realistic I would have even more trouble. But I also notice many of you out here are very good with these and there are even some real pilots as well. I too want "more realistic equipment in the cockpit", but I think if they unleashed the same quality of weapon effects as module quality it would be a blast! Literally! It would give one a reason to turn up the volume and have it in digital stereo! Make videos even more impressive.
