If you go and measure completion of systems that a DCS module has / will have to real life you will never get 100%. Complete in what ED says is complete. We'll never get complete to the real planes. Especially, when some of it is still classified. 1 Buzz

My question is about plane completion. Just curious what opinions are on this subject. ED could answer it best but i'm not sure we'll get that. So, everybody is free to give an opinion. I'm only interested in 4 planes at the moment. What percentage of completion do you think these planes are in right now? A-10C A-10C II F-16C F/A-18C All opinions are welcome. It's not easy to say what % particular module is at as you would need to define 100% state first. I think: A-10C - is feature completed / (99%?), 1% would be bugs / fixes. A-10C is nearly feature complete with only one item missing AFAIK. F-16C - half way there? F-18C - further than Viper I would say.

BuzzU Posted February 7, 2022 Author Posted February 7, 2022 The A-10C hasn't been complete all these years. The A-10C II has proved that. The A-10C II needs more than the radio to be complete. Buzz
72Stu Posted February 7, 2022 Posted February 7, 2022 No air force, manufacturer or software suite producer would ever allow a 100% complete rendition of their stuff. Same as MSFS modules, or train simulation software, and for that, we have to be thankful.
BuzzU Posted February 8, 2022 Author Posted February 8, 2022 No, of course we'll never get it all. However, in the case of the Hog what we got for the A-10C Ii is allowed. Why didn't we get it from the beginning? Snoopy can tell you what's still missing in the Hog and i'm sure he knows what's allowed. Buzz

Snoopy can tell you what's still missing in the Hog and i'm sure he knows what's allowed. I think the difference here lies in the definition of "feature complete". To me, the A-10C delivered 100% of what was originally promised given the restricted systems that are/were on the plane at the time the module was made. The missing bits on the OG A-10C were never meant to be added, the plane was "feature-complete" as defined by ED. Whether there are differences between the real deal and the DCS A-10C is imho irrelevant. The A-10C II was released because the A-10C could do with a 3D and system upgrade, given the new information that got out between 2011 and 2020, much like in the case of the Kamov (although BS 3 is still not available).
