moggel Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 @Reflected I just upgraded my PC from a potato machine (older i7, 16Gb RAM and 1070 TI) to a decently modern one (i9 11700K, 32Gb RAM and RTX 3080). I love your WWII campaigns but I couldn't run the Channel map at all on the old bucket - it was a slideshow. With a modern PC, however, I would absolutely buy all your Normandy-map based campaigns again if you made Channel editions! The Normandy map is "ok" for France but it's a bit of a shame not to be able to take off from Biggin Hill and to just sit there and try not to look down at the ugly, repetitive English landscape, while heading for the coast. I know you've made some bonus missions so far but would making Channel editions of the Normandy campaigns be interesting, or simply not worth it? i7-3930K CPU @ 3.20GHz; 16Gb DDR3; GeForce GTX 1070; Windows 10; TM Warthog HOTAS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reflected Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Unfortunately you can't switch maps in a mission, you have to rebuild from scratch which is a LOT of work. I've already reworked half the Big Show missions and added a Channel mission to BNBOB, but I just don't have the time and capacity for more. Maybe at some point I'll add a Channel mission to the Jagdflieger campaign. Glad you have a nice new PC though, that should be able to handle anything you throw at it.

kotor633 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Hi, @Reflected: Is there a possibility or is it planned that you will have a campaign for the Mi-24P? And if so, which map (Caucasus, PG, Syria)? ************************************** DCS World needs the Panavia Tornado!

kotor633 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 But I still have one question, pure curiosity: Generally no helicopters since you / your team have been geared towards fixed wing aircraft? Or does that only apply to the Mi-24? ************************************** DCS World needs the Panavia Tornado!

I'm about to release a Huey campaign, so that's not true But to make a good campaign you have to be familiar with the aircraft inside out, know its history, absolutely everything about it. I can't make a campaign if I haven't read at least half a dozen books about the aircraft. It's hard to do that when you don't know anything about the aircraft in question, and/or you don't like it. 1 Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been doing some mission building myself, for fun and to learn. Not nearly as advanced as your stuff, but even basic missions (without voice overs, additional graphics and loads of custom LUA scripting) is very time consuming, with tons of testing and balancing. Too bad but I can absolutely appreciate your policy.

Gunfreak Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 I hope you'll use the new minium settings on the german flaks for the Mossie campaign.

Jtizo Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 On 1/14/2021 at 5:33 AM, Reflected said: Hey YoYo, Thanks for the trust I can't really promise any 'roadmap' as release dates are really up to ED at the end of the day. With this in mind: Zone 5 F-14A campaign already submitted, hopefully coming in January, but it's just that, my hope. It's out of my control. Wolfpack P-47 campaign already submitted, hopefully coming in February, and only if Zone 5 makes it into the January update. So basically after Zone 5. Should those get released fine, I'll submit my 'Fear the Bones!' F-14 campaign that I've been working on for over a year. Now it's 99% finished, just waiting for a dozen more voice overs. It's not as hardcore as 'Zone 5', it's more story driven and 'fun'. I've already done my research and planning for a Mosquito campaign, but hey, we need a Mosquito for that, a fully functioning one. So I have no idea when that campaign can materialize. Keep in mind that building such a campaign takes at least 4-5 months, sometimes a lot more. I know the F4U is coming, and as Magnitude announced I'm the one making the single, quick and training missions that are coming with the module. I'll definitely make a campaign too, but we need a map for that. ED promised the modern Marianas map later this year, not sure when the WWII version will follow. As soon as we have a WWII Pacific map I'll start working on it. Also, Bio and I talked about a possible sequel to 'Zone 5', but it's nothing but an idea so far. We'll wait and see how 'Zone 5' is received, how much free time we both have, etc... Those are my plans basically, with full transparency. I hope this answered your question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jtizo Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I am an ex Air Force pilot who flies 747 cargo planes now. What I would really like to see in more DCS campaigns is the option of flying as the wingman. What I miss about military flying are things like flying in formation on the wing because being a wingman requires stick and rudder skills, I don’t want to be the flight lead because being lead is boring. One of my favorite modules is the Zone 5 campaign because too and from the range I can be a wingman and not lead the flight. In fact, Zone 5 is the most realistic campaign I have flown in DCS. I would like to see more campaigns that are set up like Zone 5 where you fly to attack a target in formation, are ordered to conduct an attack and then rejoin the formation to RTB. Or at least have that as an option. Corsair, Mosquito and some of the new modules would create an opportunity for that sort of flying. Also, I see non pilots wanting to practice flying in formations. Maybe a training module that actually teaches fundamentals like the types of formations, rejoins and maneuvering in close proximity to other aircraft would add to the realism of a military based campaign. I realize that in some modules you can order a wingman to fly the route, but your still really leading the flight via commands. I’d like to see more missions like the wingman missions of the Zone 5 campaign. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
