DCS: Black Shark - Dev Updates - 09 July 2008

I understand :D It is similar to a polish word for something analogous :)

 

Do you guys have nicknames for the aircraft? I know they call the F-15 vampire, I think?

Vampire? You mean in Poland? I don't hear this before.

As for the Russia/Ukraine we have nicknames for some NATO planes. For example A-10 also called "Чебурашка" ("Cheburashka" - wide known in exUSSR cartoon hero. Today he is also very popular in Japan. En excellent cartoon indeed.) or even "Чебуратор" (a compilation of words "Cheburashka" + "Terminator":)).

 

I don't know any custom nickname for F-15, for many NATO planes we use their official nicknames, often in translated or transliterated variant.

[GGTharos]

I noticed many references to 'vampires' on the Russian forum (I use a translator) ... maybe it was bad translation. Also, I saw a lot of of references to 'virpilov' which I assume means virtual pilots.

 

And seriously ... Cheburashka? :D http://opankey.com/files/sochi/cheburashka.jpg

[nscode]

I suppose it's because of the engines :)

I am lost in conjectures what can be translated in this way:music_whistling:

Can you show me example of standalone translated post with those "vampires"?

Yes, this is correct. Virpil - virtual pilot. "Virpilov" - is a dative case of "virpil" in plural form.

Yepp!:) Compare front view with your pic. Tip: engines=ears -)

Funny :D

[thereminqblank]

^^:D

 

When I was younger, the A-1o reminded me of Mickey Mouse

 

 

Just a guess, but could 'Vampires' be referring to the de Havilland Vampire?

No.

I think i know which phrases probably can be translated as "F-15 Vampire" and if I'm right... lets say I prefer to wait GGTharos answer before I will start laughing:)

[GGTharos]

I can't really find those right now ... maybe it was a translation issue ... I used to use babelfish :)

So...

 

May 16 DCS Update

 

For all of these aircraft, we now have all the needed data to model them properly to DCS standards (very important a big factor of what does and does not go into DCS as a flyable). It is important to remember that all of these aircraft will be modeled to the same level of detail as the Black Shark in DCS.

 

That translates in my opinion to;

* DCS release delayed until after the year >=2012 when planet X Niburu comes to visit us.

* Doe this mean that Su-27 / F-15 as it is in current LOFC wont be included? Therefore even longer delays to DCS?

 

I was wondering;

1. Which of those a/c will actually be flyable on the day of LOFC release?

 

We have been waiting so long for DCS another 2 years wont be that a big deal :cry:.

How about reading the FAQ? http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/index.php?end_pos=718&scr=default&lang=en

 

Q: I own “Lock On”, which was also developed by Eagle Dynamics, and I want to know if “Lock On” aircraft will be part of DCS?

A: DCS is a whole new product line and is not compatible with “Lock On”. The only flyable aircraft in the initial release of DCS will be the Ka-50. DCS and Lock On will not be multiplayer compatible.

Q: While is it good that Eagle strives to make very detailed vehicle simulations, how about developing some additional vehicles at a lesser detail level that you may not have complete data for

A: Given our equal focus on military-grade simulations for non-entertainment purposes, we now only pursue projects that we have ample data for such that we can demo to the military as representative of what we can do for them. Guess work is not an option. While no synthetic simulation will ever be 100% accurate given the constraints of the PC platform, we strive to be as close to that as we can. Knowingly making educated guesses is again not an option (see point 1). This level of detail is one of the primary hallmarks of the new DCS line of products and just one thing that separates it from the Lock On line and other PC-based helicopter sims. We realize that this restricts us to the number of aircraft we can model, but even with the aircraft we have good data for, we will be busy for at least the next decade.

Q: When?

A: 2008

Edit: Cya at the final of EM'08...we will win:P

DCS is going to be released in a Modular fashion..DCS:Black Shark first (this year */pray*) , then other Modules "roughly every 9 months" thereafter.

I hope the USMC ask Eagle D to model a desktop simulator for their Harrier pilots. That will make me happier than a fly on steaming poo-poo.

Don't be a pessimist Bober. I know it's our compatriots' trait but don't because You'll croak this delay out (I'm superstitious and it's another trait of Poles ;)).

[Fodder]

Since Black Shark doesn't have any direct competition, they can develop this as long as they want :) Although the Lockon engine might start showing signs of aging if they delay for too long but there's almost 6 months left of this year so lets hope for the best :)
