That’s not going to work… I honestly don't see the difference. As in I don't see why a round Earth would be more important for one than the other. A round map would matter if the entire planet was modeled, but DCS doesn't do this yet. Also, while DCS doesn't have a round Earth, it has some round Earth corrections. Besides, flat was good enough for NASA: https://www.nasa.gov/centers/dryden/pdf/88104main_H-1391.pdf 40 minutes ago, SharpeXB said: That level of “quality” isn’t going to convert anyone to DCS… And what? Is it gonna take 4 years to make a DCS Cessna too? There isn't necessarily a need to convert anyone, as seen in this thread there are already people here willing to buy civil DCS modules. 2 Awaiting: DCS F-15C Win 10 i5-9600KF 4.6 GHz 64 GB RAM RTX2080Ti 11GB -- Win 7 64 i5-6600K 3.6 GHz 32 GB RAM GTX970 4GB -- A-10C, F-5E, Su-27, F-15C, F-14B, F-16C missions in User Files

If I can fly an F-18, F-16, UH-1H, AH-64D, yada yada on a flat map, then I can fly a Cessna ANYTHING in DCS. Some people just need to learn the hard way when to stop.

I knew they were both develped from the 170, I'm just saying given the choice between a module labled the 172 and O-1 I would prefer to see the O-1 with the 170 or 172 included. 1 hour ago, Exorcet said: I honestly don't see the difference.

If that is really a problem then that needs to be added to the list of things Eagle needs to work on. 2
