Callsign112 Posted November 28, 2021 Posted November 28, 2021 I think the OP's suggestion is an excellent one. Its true that the vast majority of people that come to DCS are here for the learning SIM experience. But the point was how to add to that community. Clearly the fact that there is a FC3 shows that ED is aware of the concept being discussed here, and without ever having used the FC3, or knowing much about its history here, I would say that the FC3 product was an essential part of the plan to develop full fidelity models from a funding perspective. The point being missed here IMO is that having FC3 level models of all the WWII planes would help more than it would hinder. In terms of the FM, obviously both FC3 and the HI-Fi versions would use the same FM. Why reinvent the wheel twice? The FC3 versions would obviously be watered down in terms of cockpit functionality and skin texture, but again, there is very little work involved there in comparison to the upside for increased revenue streams. And I think that is the most important point, having a FC3 (MAC) version of the WWII plane set would help ease the cost of developing full fidelity models. In fact, the early access version could be a FC3 type model that we would all be able to use while they finish up the Hi-Fi version. Seems to me to be a win-win. ED could address all the constant complaining about early access and the "what's taking so long" crowd all in one shot. Two pilots with one stone sort of concept. 1
