cant i play with Mig-29 in DCS??

[EricJ]

Besides, there's SIM-MOD.com so it's not like it's going to be just ED doing all the work.

[tflash]

Well, I would like Su-33, Su-27, Mig-29, F-15C, A-10A and Su-25T all in one sim! Not just one aircraft to play with, but several. Wouldn't that be real online fun? Let's call it Lockon!

[MigLeader]

No OVT or 35. Too new.

 

okay can we have the Mig-29m2??:D

[Force_Feedback]

The OVT was originally an old mig-29 with a 'OVT' switch, nothing more. So... can we get the -OVT prototype.

[Pilotasso]

ED stated Mig SMT-1 sometime in the future.

[tflash]

But, seriously, will each DCS title be a one aircraft study sim, or will the new flyable aircraft like Apache and A-10A be ADDED to the Ka-50?

[GGTharos]

Both statements are correct.

Think of the sim as a collection of physics engines, cockpit engines etc, without actual aircraft.

Every aircraft is a 'study' type release of that aircraft that will plug into the sim.

The idea is to be able to be able to keep the sim and aircrafts separate so that people won't have to buy /all/ the addons to play together ... so yeah, 'add' is the right word.

[tflash]

Interesting concept!

[SwingKid]

F/A-18C would be a half educated guess. We know they obtained the necessary manuals.

 

Link?

Hopefully the fast movers would be next in line after the apache and A-10, but that's still about a 2-3 year wait. This is how i see it

2008- Blackshark

2009- apache

2010-A-10

2011-?

Interesting fact: In real life all modern fighter aircraft have finally made the production line years later than promised and way, way, way over budget.

[S77th-GOYA]

Link?

 

Search is broken, so no can do. I remember they were missing one important manual and one of the devs posted that they finally got their hands on one. Or maybe I was dreaming?

 

Can anyone confirm? GG?

 

Ooops, my bad. Search isn't broken. :doh:

 

Looking now.

 

re-edit: here's one but I was mistaken about the C model. Olgerd said that the A or B could be implemented.

Actually we got very usefull set of F/A-18A/B tech manuals. So Alpha/Bravo models are an option to implement.

2011-?

I can tell!! the next AC/chopper to be released 9 months after A-10 is gonna be a Su-25T for sure. It stands to reason: KA-50 competes with Apache, A-10 vs SU-25T, next american fighter vs next russian fighter. Let's face it. ED already has an AFM for the frogfoot and, I can bet my ass that, would like to see it in this new engine.

We're gonna have to wait long, long time for a fighter release I'm afraid.

[SuperKungFu]

So I guess this means 2012 then for fighters lol.

[Glowing_Amraam]

Didn't i read somewhere that the A-10 will come before the Apache..?

*Edit: http://forum.digitalcombatsimulator.com/showpost.php?p=2185&postcount=42

"...First expected aircraft to be released is (drum roll) A10."

[SuperKungFu]

ah right, i remember Matt said something about the A-10 first, either way fighters are still 2012.

[Prophet]

what does it matter you'll all be happy playing Fighter Ops anyway :pilotfly:

 

True. :joystick:

[Pilotasso]

Fighter ops? Perhaps, but I will be married and my unborn kids will be frequenting elementary school by then. ;)

:megalol: btw. is there any timeframe for release?

[Slaunyeh]

2010 ?

[Slaunyeh]

Now isn t apache a 2 sitter ?

This mean we ll need to be 2 to fly ?

How will this be managed ?

 

Well if 2 seaters are really a go, i prefer a hundred time the f14 than lousy f18. And hind from apache.

If we are to guess something, i ll bet (and guess upon state):

ka 50 (doing/done) X apache (??)

A10 (doing/done) X t25 (done/raise lvl to ka50 detailing)

 

i can guess SU33 (done/raise lvl to ka50 detailing) X f18 are the next.

F16 is nice but make no sense in the counterweight approach ED always took.

But i guess this can radicaly change if they are approached by others military contracts. (but even those two are a guess. 2010 is a too long guess for BTS, since game (whatever they are) is usualy no more than 3 years. I guess by then will be in another lomac -> BTS switch and people will be pissed/hoping again.

 

Actually i'm very happy if 33 is taken to KA 50 accuracy lvl. But i would be happyer if it comes wich su 35. There s a lot of differences but mainly internal not so external or FM. And we d have much less payload as pilots.

Yes, two players in the same aircraft is planned.

F-14 isn't even in use by the US anymore, it wouldn't fit in future scenarios. And the Hind would be another helo for the east block, it's better to have one east and one west flyable of the same type due to gameplay balance.

ka 50 (doing/done) X apache (??)

A10 (doing/done) X t25 (done/raise lvl to ka50 detailing)

F16 is nice but make no sense in the counterweight approach ED always took.

ED has stated that A-10 will most likely be the second flyable, then the AH-64, as work on both these has been started already.

Su-25T as in FC is no way near Ka-50 level of detail, that's true in an even higher degree for the Su-33, they would have to start completely anew for that one.

 

As have been said in the past ED wants to make a F-16 and a MiG-29 and those two pair up very nicely, both in terms of geographical and tactical usage.

 

But i guess this can radicaly change if they are approached by others military contracts. (but even those two are a guess. 2010 is a too long guess for BTS, since game (whatever they are) is usualy no more than 3 years. I guess by then will be in another lomac -> BTS switch and people will be pissed/hoping again.

Simulators and some other genre of games can have much longer life than three years, and the plan for DCS is to continually upgrade the different modules, i.e. ED is planning on sticking with this one for a long time.

I think you can pretty much forget that.
