RedTiger Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I have a question about the plans for the campaigns in the DCS series. Maybe its too early to say anything about this. I know that the Black Shark module is going to be a branching campaign where mission success/failure effects the next mission. Is the focus for DCS campaigns going to remain mostly from the perspective of a pilot being assigned missions with little or no control beyond said missions? I greatly dislike campaigns in flight sims that try to go beyond the scope of the pilot where you HAVE to run the war effort in addition to actually completing missions successfully. I'm hoping things stick relatively close to the tactical side of things. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGTharos Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Within Black shark, you're simply assigned missions. :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEAL Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 hi,I'm a new member here. I have a question about DCS new games: does DCS have any sim games programs about the fifth generation fighter ??? (F-22/F-35/EF2000/Rafale/~~~~~etc.) if the answer is 'yes',can DCS developers reveal some of the imformation?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilBivol-1 Posted July 12, 2008 Author Share Posted July 12, 2008 (edited) The answer is no (sorry :)). Those aircraft are far too classified to even be candidates in the near future - unless ED miraculously obtains a military contact for one and permission to do a "game" version - which is probably unlikely.

EvilBivol-1 Posted July 12, 2008 Author Share Posted July 12, 2008 I'm not yet very familiar with exactly what we can do, but certainly you can dedicate the ABRIS to a separate monitor. We now have a few testers trying out different set-ups, so we should have more specific information soon. - EB [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Nothing is easy. Everything takes much longer.

SEAL Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 (edited) thank you for answering my question,manager. but do DCS developers ever consider of adding some systems that already incorporated with those modern planes in Lock on(such as F-15/16 are euipped with JTIDS/ JHMDS/AIM-9X,even more,AESA)?? this can make players feel easier to get 360 degrees SA conditions or to win during air combat(especially for recruits)?? or making F-14D with JTIDS???

I can answer for the developers. There won't be any configurations that dont' exist in reality, except the ones that were physically built, tested, and approved for (any country) Armed Forces but wasn't implemented due to financial or political reasons. (Example - R-27EM in LockOn, which is not currently in service because of switching priorities to R-77 production) You want the best? Here i am...

Buren Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Is there going to be a producer's note or video which will feature ejection from the Ka-50?

504Goon Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Those systems are still pretty much classified, thus it would be impossible to model them without having lots of guesswork involved. Same reason as for why there won't be F-22 etc :) 504th CO http://www.vvs504.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGTharos Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 F-14D might be retired, but the systems it uses (eg. JTIDS, APG-71) are still classified. Regardless, if you get a team to create a 3rd party mod for it... :) Datalinks are a part of Black Shark already.

DaWu Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I got some more questions - how detailed will the weather model be? will there be rain/turbulences/snow/storm? - will there be night missions? - will there be ai aircraft in the first dcs release? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilBivol-1 Posted July 14, 2008 Author Share Posted July 14, 2008 - how detailed will the weather model be? will there be rain/turbulences/snow/storm? Yes. Weather settings are set in the mission settings by the mission creator and can include all of the above. Beyond simply altering the visual experience, weather will directly impact the performance of the helicopter, including causing ice build up. - will there be night missions? Yes, although not many. Since the Ka-50 is not equipped with a FLIR, it has a limited night-operation capability and has to rely on the pilot's NVGs and illumination support form other aircraft to fight at night. - will there be ai aircraft in the first dcs release? Of course, there are many AI fixed and rotary wing aircraft. - EB [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Nothing is easy. Everything takes much longer.

ThunderChief Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I thought the ABRIS would permit to share recon data between Ka-50. What the advantage of marker rockets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBQ Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Other aircraft that are not in your flight cannot datalink with you--so you could mark targets for other flights (say you are playing the AFAC role for a flight of Su-25's). Since the Su-25 has to rely on visible acquisition of their targets, marking the area will greatly increase their chances of seeing the target.
