Canada Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 The AC-130 is for the military ... it would probably be rather boring in terms of an entertainment sim. Absolutely not, I'd love to fly it. Helicopters fly.
zakobi Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 Let's hope we'll get a Herc module in some time, if it has guns, that's great, if they're 'classified', then no gung, but then we should be able to do tactical air drops, and dump hundreds of flares at once. All that with realistic engine out performance, clickable cockpit and flushable lavs (can I program the advanced s**t model? ;)). Don't forget the Daisy Cutter and MOAB... BOOOooom...
NotiA10 Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 i cant see a reason why not to have this thing in DCS. it will only add to the overall simulator. If someone thinks that it is too boring to fly, simply dont fly it. However i recon that there might be quite a few people out there who would fly it and in addition to the just mentioned, if ED`s marketing dept is ok, they will use it as USP. psssss cheers :pilotfly: NotiA10 CoolerMaster HAF RC-932 - Intel Core i7 950 - Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro - Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R - Kingston DDR3 6GB - Gigabyte Radeon HD 5870 EF 6 Edition - Western Digital 640GB SATA-III - CoolerMaster 700W - TrackIR Pro 4 - Saitek X52 - Saitek Rudder Pedals - Hotas Warthog
multiviper Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 I got to fly in a real 130 simulator about 9 years ago at Dyess afb I will never forget that day that was awesome it was like sitting in the real thing... :pilotfly: Multiviper http://www.multiviper.com [sIGPIC]http://www.multiviperforums.com/pictures/multi3uo8.jpg[/sIGPIC]
VMFA117_Poko Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 (...) - Automated flight plans and paths Correct me if I'm wrong - ED will do the sim of battle station (gunner) only.
ED Team Wags Posted August 18, 2008 ED Team Posted August 18, 2008 There are no plans to include the AC-130 IR sensor operator station in DCS. Among other reasons, we have no permissions to do so from our client.

amalahama Posted August 19, 2008 Author Posted August 19, 2008 There are no plans to include the AC-130 IR sensor operator station in DCS. Among other reasons, we have no permissions to do so from our client. What's about the technology? Can be the code regarding IR sensor developed in this project used for the entertainment market (A-10C and AH-64)? Regards!!
Avimimus Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Its funny, I'd actually prefer a flyable C-130 to an AC-130 anyway...
haigotron Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 (edited) I would like to point out what Call of Duty 4 did with the AC-130: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLq2WMm5vso Although a bit arcadey, the feeling is definitely there, it's scary!!! I think an AC-130 would definitely be an interesting addition, one day! Edited August 19, 2008 by haigotron
