Devil 505 Posted September 13, 2020 Posted September 13, 2020 ED or anyone from OctopusG. No specific questions here on future modules, just curious if you are still around and plan on doing anything else for DCS, or is this the end of the road? I would still like to support the team if you choose to continue producing for DCS. Your first module was good to go. It has been a ghost town on the forum here with little to no response.
AeriaGloria Posted September 13, 2020 Posted September 13, 2020 It’s one guy in Russia, I don’t think they ever post here. There are still a few things like radio and kneeboarding needed to finish I-16, but I know I’m not the only one that thinks an An-2(which they did for another title) would be great Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com
Hunter Joker Posted September 13, 2020 Posted September 13, 2020 Could be great if they start working on WWII Russian's warbirds, so we could open even the eastern front with module and maps Inviato dal mio BLA-L09 utilizzando Tapatalk https://www.youtube.com/user/garaganotube

I dont remember seeing anything of it showing up in the update love since it got released. Of course, since the dev isn't even active here, it's entirely possible he doesn't even know anything is missing or needs to be fixed.

ngreenaway Posted September 13, 2020 Posted September 13, 2020 I anticipated it wasn't, and i saw the thread on the russian forum is 160+pages long, (understandably so, the airframe has much greater significance there, and to a lesser extent spain,than anywhere else) i would say its safe to assume any issues here have been brought up there as well, but the module seems stagnant, as if it were released and dropped. I understand the language barriers: my first wife was german(i was stationed in Germany at the time). My in-laws from my second marriage are staying with us at the moment, they just arrived from russia the other day. I get communication even in a native language can be a challenge on the forums without having the nonverbal cues that add nuance to what we say...but still, google translate *is* a thing, and it can make it possible for plexus to read what people are saying here& for him to drop an occasional notice or acknowledgement I dont think anyones demanding the world, or the devs head on a platter like they are with Razbam , but really just a simple "heartbeat " that this aircraft is still alive or dev has moved onward to other projects [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] DCS: The most expensive free game you'll ever play Modules: All of them System: I9-9900k, ROG Maximus , 32gb ram, RTX2070 Founder's Edition, t16000,hotas, pedals & cougar MFD, HP Reverb 1.2, HTC VIVE

Devil 505 Posted September 18, 2020 Author Posted September 18, 2020 BIGNEWY, thanks for the follow up brother. It is much appreciated. Seems like there is some really good talent there. If he could get a team together and the permissions to proceed, I concur with the above statement of an untapped genre of warbirds for DCS. I can only imagine the complexities though of getting the information needed for Russian WW2 aircraft. I do not think I have ever heard anyone mention an IL-2 before funny enough.
LeCuvier Posted September 18, 2020 Posted September 18, 2020 Still no Flight Manual The only doc I can see is the Quickstart guide. The developer still owes us a proper flight manual. In English. If the developer cannot write English then that is ED's responsibility. After all we have paid for a complete module and that includes doc.

Raisuli Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 or else what Or else I'll say his father was a hamster and his mother smelt of elderberries. In Russian. After I figure out what an 'elderberry' is in Russian. I'll ask my wife. Then I will taunt him a second time-a. Ongoing development or not, has anyone else noticed what an unexpectedly fun little beast this thing is to fly?
ngreenaway Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 In Russian. Then how will you keep your outrrrrageous accent, you silly man?

Rudel_chw Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 I enjoy this little plane, wish that ED could add a few russian items to its WW2 Assets Pack, nothing much: a russian soldier, a period truck, period gun, a T-34 .. and some german AI like a Ju-87, He-111 and Bf-109E to have some opponents. Also wish that the developer gets to finish the radio equipment of this bird, to be able to call ATC.

If it were abandonware wouldn't be updates and there have been in the latest patches, just a single guy alone and he doesn't even speak English, that's all. S!

Raisuli Posted October 3, 2020 Posted October 3, 2020 I will never abandon my I-16. When you get tired of electric jets the I-16 is a breath of fresh(ish) air with that open cockpit. I'm Navy so I never got the silk scarf, but it's still awesome. Some day I'll get energetic and figure out how to actually land one. From the reports on this forum she's (he, actually. I believe they're referred to by the masculine) quite a beast on the runway in both directions.
freemind_fly Posted October 3, 2020 Posted October 3, 2020 (edited) Please stop the BS. If it were abandonware wouldn't be updates and there have been in the latest patches S! Which ones? Didn’t see anything in the change logs. Edited October 3, 2020 by freemind_fly
Ala13_ManOWar Posted October 3, 2020 Posted October 3, 2020 Which ones? Didn’t see anything in the change logs.Since when every single change comes in the changelog? Read the threads, some patches ago some bugs appeared and later on were fixed. S! "I went into the British Army believing that if you want peace you must prepare for war.

freemind_fly Posted October 3, 2020 Posted October 3, 2020 When? Looks to me like the last posting of the developer was done a year ago.
Coxy_99 Posted October 5, 2020 Posted October 5, 2020 When? Looks to me like the last posting of the developer was done a year ago. Maybe the developer only wants to create one module and maintain how about that?
ngreenaway Posted October 6, 2020 Posted October 6, 2020 Maybe the developer only wants to create one module and maintain how about that? Theres nothing wrong with that as long as theres been some indication that its been maintained . I seem to recall nothing but dead silence as well. Yes, the dev is one person. whose native language isnt English, but as i mentioned google-translate is a thing, and he doesn't need to write patch notes entries- ED is capable of doing that after receiving updates from OctoG Not posting notes on updates, even if an update or fix is made, isnt a good approach: it leads to the impression that this is abandonware . Its a great entry, even moreso considering its just one guy..but to release& then have no communication is somewhat disconcerting [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] DCS: The most expensive free game you'll ever play Modules: All of them System: I9-9900k, ROG Maximus , 32gb ram, RTX2070 Founder's Edition, t16000,hotas, pedals & cougar MFD, HP Reverb 1.2, HTC VIVE

reece146 Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 Really exciting news (La-7). Hope it comes to DCS - first day buy for me! I have MSFS but never use it.
