upyr1 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 I'm sure this has been discused I forgot what ED says, hwoever I think it should be up to the person setting up a server to decide if they will allow MAC on their DCS server or DCS on their MAC server.

Mars Exulte Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 What is or isn't available in a mission is always up to the mission designer. If they don't place a certain plane in the mission, it isn't there. Period.

I'm not discussing mission design but rather someone with DCS and would be able to do an online mission with someone using MAC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharpeXB Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 (edited) Hardly anyone plays DCS online so why would it matter? If you allow MAC along with DCS at least that means more players. As it is some servers only have 12 players which is sorta laughable. And multiplayer is just a high fidelity furball so who cares if it’s authentic or not. If you’re worried that the hardcore experience will be ruined by MAC noobs, don’t worry. It’s already ruined.

It uses the DCS engine and a lot of the same code, so I don't see why it would be any differnt than flaming cliffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s already ruined. :doh: Even in an air-quake server I prefer my opponents to have the same level of fidelity that I do. In fact, if all you want to do is furball it doesn't take much to learn a DCS-level module, so it is not too much to expect. I've been locked up on the taxiway by FC3 players on servers with no AI. No one should feel compelled to tolerate that kind of arcade gameplay.

If somebody puts an FC3 MiG-29 in a mission, it's available. If they don't, it's not. Same for MAC if it ends up being integrated into DCS proper. If a (for example) MAC F-16 is added, it's available. If not, it won't be.

No one should feel compelled to tolerate that kind of arcade gameplay. TLDR version of my reply : again, whether something is available is determined when the mission is being designed. Don't like it? Play on a different server. Pretty straightforward. Air Quake servers are by definition catering to the lowest common denominator, so... why is that surprising?

Slug72 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) I hope they are compatable MAC will function within DCS; this was confirmed by ED's Global Business Development Director in a recent QA session.

Worrazen Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 MAC should be an expansion and an update of FC3. It kinda is, it would have been FC4, but it got so expanded that it became MAC. Furthermore there was a decision for now to have it as a separate install/game, at least the last time I heard about it. If you ask me deeply, I wouldn't actually mind if MAC is both standalone and a module for DCS if that is the only way to make "crossplay", but I think MAC should get it's own forums, if not a new domain then a bit more separated than what it is for various modules right now around here. A potential problem could be the MAC community growing in size and one random day revolting wanting to be part of DCS ... or a third section of the community who wants to play both. Modules: A-10C I/II, F/A-18C, Mig-21Bis, M-2000C, AJS-37, Spitfire LF Mk. IX, P-47, FC3, SC, CA, WW2AP, CE2.

I do agree that MAC needs their own forums, I'm not sure about their domain. I am actually interested in both, esepcially if I get cross platform paly and modern Red For planes Uncle vladimir has been saying nyet to with DCS.
