Buzz313th Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Hypothetical question here. How much money would need to be raised by a crowd funding effort and offered to "Heatblur" to generate interest in committing to finish a fan selected Full Fidelity Module?

Cheers Crowdfunding to make full fidelity modules can cost from a million to much more. And seeing the "disasters" of the latest CFs (RSS Studios, etc.), it is better to forget that option as an alternative for creating modules in DCS World. The problem has no the money, has the team, the experience, data available, resources and develop time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not asking to crowdfund the entire development cost, just to get a commitment to a particular aircraft model, assuming they have the resources and can get the data.

As far as we know, developing a module does not work on "fan chosen". There are many aspects in development that can make a module work or not, both financial, data and many external. Saying today "we are going to make a Su-24, Xian H-5, Lightning or B-17", but tomorrow we have to face difficulties that could ruin the project, no matter how much "promise" is made. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra847 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 what grouchy_creason means is that generally for now we've got our roadmap full and we're capitalized enough to go ahead and execute on that. But it's always an option for a bigger project in the future if we can't swing it without the community's support! 2 Nicholas Dackard Founder & Lead Artist Heatblur Simulations https://www.facebook.com/heatblur/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
