Mr_sukebe Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Couldn't help but notice that http://www.thebattlesim.com has gone AWOL. Does make me wonder why. I was under the impression that DCS/TBS is being used by both the French air force and the US national guard and might well be used elsewhere too. Has TBS been renamed?

WobblyFlops Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Does anyone have access to the pictures that were uploaded to that site? I there was a screenshot of a very early Hornet build that was different than the Lot 20 we eventually ended up with. I found it very interesting because it indicated that an earlier Lot was initially planned and how this changed as development went on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the only one I could find on the TBS site whilst using the Wayback machine. Now, let's play the game of spot the difference compared to the current FA-18 we have! 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver_Dragon Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 The pics on TBS was very old, that hornet was a previous version of AI with not have the detail level of the Hornet module. Actually that has maintain into the DCS directories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WobblyFlops Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 That was exactly the picture I was looking for, thanks guys. 33 minutes ago, Silver_Dragon said: The pics on TBS was very old, that hornet was a previous version of AI with not have the detail level of the Hornet module What? Why would an AI Hornet have such a detailed cockpit? Plus I remember the very early newletters from 2017 I think when Wags (or Nineline) teased a much older Hornet, without the current CMS suite and with the Nite Hawk pod.

The cockpit show on the TBS was the old Hornet module cockpit on early develop stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey45 Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 They were gonna do a much older version/block/Lot but they got the info for the Lot-20 so they did that one. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Worrazen Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 (edited) Though, I am a fan of having multiple variants from various points in time, it's a form of preservation of history, secondly the less advanced it is the more pilot skill is a factor, which means depth, and that means good product longevity (if not eternal in such cases) a good thing for DCS business which is required for them to bring us all the updates Edited December 28, 2021 by Worrazen Modules: A-10C I/II, F/A-18C, Mig-21Bis, M-2000C, AJS-37, Spitfire LF Mk.
