jwflowersii Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 With the upcoming release of DCS's dynamic campaign engine, I know a lot of flight simmers who aren't into combat, but very interested in logistics. With the logistics focus of the dynamic campaign engine it would open up new possibilities for simmers who are interested in hauling equipment and troops throughout the theater of operations. C-130s, C5 Galaxies may be something these pilots would love to fly. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revi Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I would definitely be one of those people who would fly a C-130 from place to place to restock the guys that are doing the shooting part. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALLynil Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I wish we had more info about dynamic campaign engine. Last one we had year ago? Cant wait for it. DCS does miss content a lot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lace Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 IANAP but how easy would it be to convert non-combat aircraft from other well known civvy sims into DCS? There are already excellent PC-12, PC-6 ,C-208, C-130, DC-3/C-47 and BAe-146 modules available, not to mention countless airliners. It seems a waste to start from scratch on these projects when from an outside perspective the hard work is already done. Laptop Pilot.

Mike Force Team Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 In addition to the C-5, C-130, and other cargo planes, there is something else we could add. What about adding player controllable KC-135 tankers? The KC-135 tanker pilots can play an important support role in campaigns or missions.

DaWu Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 DC was promised for this year but they went dead silent about it. They don’t seem to understand how important that DC is... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don’t seem to understand how important that DC is... They probably do. The problem is managing expectations, exactly because of how important it is. Every time it's brought up, everyone seems to be expecting the on-going full-theatre campaign engine from that other game. ED need to figure out, not only how to make a dynamic campaign generator, but also how to communicate what is actually possible in such a way that those expectations are tempered. It's a non-trivial tightrope to walk. 2 ❧ ❧ Inside you are two wolves. One cannot land; the other shoots friendlies. You are a Goon. ❧ ❧ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that they "do" know how important DCS is. They also are keenly aware that they hold the top spot in a singularly niche market. They also realize that their original code base is going on 15 years old, and fixing anything major would involve a complete re-write of the game engine's core.

In their 2021 roadmap they just said this: They said that external betta testing is planned for this year but not promised. Also plans can change.
