Please be more open with information, or about broken code and secretive plans

We're not stakeholders. We don't have a 'share' of the company. We paid our money and received a product. That is the end of our involvement in the process.

 

 

we are not shareholders.

 

 

 

a stakeholder however is something different. basically an interested party. and in the proper analysis they are usually ranked. higher ranking for poeple with interest and involvment etc.

 

since we are the customers we should be pretty far up the line when it comes to the product.

 

 

as stated earlyer there is no obligation to inform us as there would be for shareholders, but its good practice.

I think the type of information shareholders want is pretty different than the type of information stakeholders want anyway. For example I could care less about ED's financial picture which would be of great interest to shareholders. But as a stakeholder I care alot when I'm gonna get TWS on the hornet, or the next TPOD feature.

tl;dr: transparency is key; inform your stakeholders

 

My two cents on constructive criticism and communication management

One more, all this talking you guys do here, its a complete waste of time, no doubt about it.

But what it can be done?

Does here any one know some RL (real life) pilot using DCS? Possibly even driving the same aircraft. So only he can tell more about it.

Maybe they could tell us more about how good and real DCS really is. No point in arguing here whats good and whats not. None of you have any clue how things really work in RL, sorry to say that.

 

Because, where I come from (car sim racing), we have plenty of RL drivers using the game, and some of them are actually taking part on improving the game. Same could be with DCS.

Some ED team members are real life pilots, including Nick Grey who owns the TFC (The fighter collection in Duxford) and ED use SME's ( System matter experts ) who are or have been pilots.

Thank you for this Silver - I always turn to your posts to get a general idea of overall projects, and potential new rumors.

 

 

I lurk on your posts, just like the change log posts and Weekend News Posts. Between those three sources, you can stay abreast of pretty much everything happening.

Our IT guy is on a Russian acrobatic team as well, we also have eastern Air force pilots as well, who have varying experiences in aircraft such as the MiG-29.

SD you do great work tracking and collimating all the various news and rumors. I just wish there was a bit more acknowledgment of the near term ones.

Great to read that. So, can they provide any data for aircrafts and/or missiles? Specially the Mig pilot. Would be find, but I dount they can talk about it publicly.

[Tippis]

We have requested light smoke for incapacitated / damaged units, to make it easier to spot damage to units.

While you're at it, could you request more smoke/dust/debris in general? A lot of it comes down to performance issues, I'm sure, and smoke has always been a huge hassle to have in large amounts, but having proper smoke and dust plumes when stuff went “boom” (even if it was just a pile of dirt) would go a long way towards making weapons feel like they weren't just oddly painted fire-crackers. ;)

Generally, military pilots will avoid talking about missiles and the likes, at least specifics.

Besides, I am sure they cannot tell you much specifics either. They only use the equipment. For some data, you would have to turn on the factory which procudes it (aircrafts and missiles). But this is mission impossible I believe.

[nighthawk2174]

Data is out there and a decent amount of it too (for the subject covered that is) it just takes some digging.

There is some, it shouldnt be suggested that there is data on every missile variant in the sim for accurate modelling of every aspect. If that was the case, pilots and such wouldn't be so shy in talking about them.

 

But as I said, this shouldn't turn into another missile discussion, I will talk to the team when some vacations are over, and see if we can get an overall update.

[nighthawk2174]

I would be glad to share what i've found over the years as well.

If it's general stuff easily found or even not so easily found, I am sure ED has it, if it's not, I doubt I want to get any where near it. ;) If ED needs help on research they generally ask, but not everything on the net is for passing around.

[nighthawk2174]

Rog, even with that sa10 flyout chart?

I don't model the missiles, so I don't know all the documents they have. But in general most everything I can find they have.

[nighthawk2174]

Right as if that's the case that would worry me considering how far off the sa10 is from that flyout chart.

We'll make sure there is a bug report if you feel there is a bug.

[nighthawk2174]

Yeah I did no responses yet though, but as you indicated some to most of the team is on vacation so I'll be patient

This is sort of my usual dumb post. I am mainly supportive of DCS, I am working on my J-82 bombing as I write this (autopilot). I have at times been critical and had the occasional post deleted, all my fault. But this has been a good discussion, with give and take but mainly civil discourse. Thanks, I think this has been good for we users and I hope it has been good for DCS.
