For all of us that are getting old.

Recommended Posts

I bought Su27 Flanker in 1996 just after it was published, I was 31 years old and now nearing 60 years old. I remember a game called European Air War (EAW) and had a fantastic following in the late 1990s/early 2000. One of the developers I recall went on to develop 'Strike Fighters' series..Anyway I digress, one of the features of DCS has always been missing and that's an 'Action Camera' feature. Basically it's a camera that follows the action of a mission. I think Falcon 4 had one as well. Err, where was I !... Oh yes, the action camera; is it possible to implement an action camera feature in DCS like EAW and Falcon 4?

Frankly, not what I was expecting to find here, given the thread title 😪 

 

I'm getting old too, and sometimes I think on what will happen to my gaming rig and DCS aircrafts once I get old enough to lack enough strenght to work my Hotas, or my sight gets progresively worse  🙄

 

I also sometimes think if the community will remember me once I'm gone, believe it or not, I sometimes came across the work of people no longer here, like the A-4E or Lilkiki's Mods, and say a small thank-you prayer for them, as I get to enjoy their work. 

 

Wish you the best, and let's hope ED concedes your wish 🙏

This was very memorable serie. It had 4 different games; Vietnam, Europe Fulda 1960s, North Europe GIUK 1970s, Israeli-Arab wars.

Every part had proper timeframe map and proper timeframe realistic aircraft set + ground assets. 

It had nice GUI, music and atmosphere.

 

This things were even more important than action camera.

But the level of realism was not on a realistic level. This is not the point of my post, read it again !
