Interesting, reading now thanks.

Thanks a bunch, Matt!

 

Those are my highlight quotes:

 

"Damned if you do, damned if you don’t."

 

"From the time Black Shark goes into retail, we hope to have A-10C out nine months after that. Note that that is not a promise, just our current goal!"

 

"...roughly only 5% of DCS customers ever play online, we still feel it a very import aspect of the simulation and we’ve spent a lot of time re-writing the network code for Black Shark..."

 

"...we are already working on integrated VOIP communications..."

 

"...we already have several air-to-air fighters like the Su-27 and F-16 in development to be introduced into the DCS environment at a later date."

 

"Most of the items we first want to flesh-out are improved ground AI. We’ve already been working on ground unit scattering when under attack and using smoke grenades. We intend for the ground units to be less cooperative when trying to be killed."

BTW, on improved ground AI:

 

 

 

 

 

Leopard Tanks hiding inside burning Marder IFV wrecks.

Very clever indeed, who would shoot something that appears already dead?!

 

Just teasing, I love BS!

I wouldn't mind if the interview was 30 pages...
