hitman Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 Im aware that ED wishes to do patch 1.13, and now with the impending release of BS, whats the official story? Will ED continue support for FC for 1 more patch, or will support go directly to BS once released? I understand that BS had priority and what ED wishes with LOFC...but is it still feasible to support FC now that Black Shark is basically finished?

DTWD Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 I am hoping they eventually integrate LOMAC/FC into the DCS. I am not sure if they are promissing to much with a 1.13 release for FC with them also wanting to completely re-write the DCS engine with new code and release new aircraft (with hopefully new missions and content) every nine months, unless it's just a minor bug fix round up. Let's not forget that the DCS and BS will also probably be getting bug fixes. Regards Paul Regards [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
GGTharos Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 Most certainly not. DCS is a new thing and it has nothing to do with LOMAC/FC. Eventually there will be modules that will represent the same aircraft as you have in LOMAC/FC, but LOMAC will not be put into DCS. I am hoping they eventually integrate LOMAC/FC into the DCS.

DTWD Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 That is more what I was reffering to. LOMAC/FC is just aircraft and missions in a world, the DCS will be exactly the same with hopefully a more modern code that can take advantage of a modern PC setup and be upgraded to keep up with modern technology.

GGTharos Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 That is definitely incorrect. DCS will NOT be basically the same :) Otherwise you could call all simulators 'basically the same'.

Boberro Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 That is definitely incorrect. DCS will NOT be basically the same :) No GG, Corect phrase should be : "DCS is not basically the same :)" The game is ready so it is :D I didn't believe you finish it in this year but it is :D Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make... HISTORY! :D | Also to be remembered: FRENCH TANKS HAVE ONE GEAR FORWARD AND FIVE BACKWARD :D ಠ_ಠ ツ
DTWD Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 (edited) That is definitely incorrect. DCS will NOT be basically the same :) Otherwise you could call all simulators 'basically the same'. No, but you could say that all flight simulators are all basically the same. The differences are down to the implimentation, scenarios, the world and the aircraft. These can all make a big difference to the sim but in the end they are all very similar. EDIT: Sorry I don't want to cause an argument here so I want to explain myself a little better. I was just meaning that if you put in the same aircraft into DCS (now fully modelled :D) and create new missions or the ability to use them in the mission editor then as far as I am concerned FC is in DCS. I don't tend to play the missions but just bomb about (sometimes litterally) having fun. Regards Paul Edited October 7, 2008 by DTWD Regards [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Shaman Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 Most certainly not. DCS is a new thing and it has nothing to do with LOMAC/FC. Yeah yeah... shares lots of absolete files, I'm sure over 50%... it has even something to do with Flanker2... sure there is no multiplayer compatibility, but still..don't say DCS is completely new thing and has nothing to do with previous builds. 51PVO Founding member (DEC2007-) 100KIAP Founding member (DEC2018-) :: Shaman aka [100☭] Shamansky tail# 44 or 444 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 100KIAP Regiment Early Warning & Control officer
monotwix Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 Entirely different approach for what it takes to build an aircraft and combat environment, that’s why FC in DCS would be like mixing a dough into a cooked pie (mustard chocolate?). The cooking time is a big issue. The consumption taste is even bigger. I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully.
monotwix Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 They’re tones of people that fly the big boys like cargo transport planes in FSX and X Plane, give them a good task and a good plane and the challenging weather and to fly within combat environment they would love it (fighters would suck) and they will fly it. It’s going face to face with other sims for the next decade. And what is the biggest sim that every one knows now? I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully.
RuskyV Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 Im Just glad there is a Helo sim out there to compete with all the other flight sims, cant wait to see how it handles, im just hoping that Black shark has a whole new feel to it, Lockon/FC felt kinda slung together,personaly i would rather FC got swept under the carpet and forgot about. starting fresh with BS seems the way to go.
