So we are over 20 years back in time now. It's been modified a lot over the year. But in this case. Time has probably caught up. Starfield had many problems. But one them was obviously that the engine is simply to dated. Leading to all kinda trouble. It might be the engine just can't be used anymore. Or simply Bethesda incompetence(all their games are terribly made) A better example would be the unreal engines. Unreal 5 still has code from at least unreal 3 or even older. And Unreal 5 is a fantastic engine. Including built in VR support. So as i said sometimes using a 2 decade old engine is bad. Sometimes it doesn't matter. It all depends on how maleable the engine is for upgrade. And the quality of the coders. 2 i7 13700k @5.2ghz, GTX 5090 OC, 128Gig ram 4800mhz DDR5, M2 drive.

Plus to add to the 'and beyond'... even if something is released in 2025, it's more often than not released in Early Access, so depending on what features are available 'on release', it may or not suit individual purposes, or may require significant time to be usable. (ie - Dynamic spawns not usable on dynamically created FARP's for instance)... With DCS, until it's in your hands for us to evaluate ourselves, nothing is really certain. It does however give indication of what is being worked on and the current state, which can be encouraging. Just the hype about a release of a trailer that may show something that may or may not be released in the next year certainly shows there's still plenty of passion for DCS which is a good thing. For me personally though - the thing that tops all others for me that I want to see is some soft of greater stability/reliability and support come to DCS for server admins, scripters, mission designers, and mod makers, etc. As well as that if bugs are introduced - especially things that break things that were working, they're treated as a much higher priority in getting fixed. DCS has reached a stage to me that there's nothing they can add to the game that's more important than supporting what already implemented reliably. 3 1

Hotdognz Posted January 5 Posted January 5 If a Vietnam map is lurking in that poster, it will be no use without ground assets to go along with that map unless some fictional scenario is made using it. We got a lot in 2024 and I'm grateful for what was released, but this year I'd like to some of the new maps get fleshed out with all new AI assets that suit those maps so we can fly historical battles over the new terrains released, I really can't see the point with all these maps and it started with the SA one, we get no new AI assets to play against that belong to that map, Iraq and Afghanistan very much stand out here as no new assets have been released along with those maps, except the C-Ram and some other type of armored US personal carrier. 2

In my opinion, if this is the Vietnam map, they will anounce it with release date somewhen this fall, but will release it in summer 2026 or even later Edited January 5 by JD 1
Hoirtel Posted January 5 Posted January 5 I think the palm tree could be WW2 Mariana's which is probably coming very soon. It's possible we might see a bundle of ww2 assets, Corsair, hellcat to run on this map. Vietnam seems unlikely at this stage, as we have two big maps in very early EA plus the fulder gap that has been significantly teased. 5
TheFreshPrince Posted January 5 Posted January 5 IDK, there is so much missing in DCS that would be needed for a somewhat realistic Fulda-gap battle. 2
toni Posted January 5 Posted January 5 Not a new plane by ED ? They could post a poll just to see what platforms the community wish . My first vote goes to keep on with the Boeing F-18F Super Hornet

My first vote goes to keep on with the Boeing F-18F Super Hornet To 'keep on with' it would have to be a thing in the first place, which it isn't. Of the ongoing projects i'd hope the Herc might appear this year. Some suggested the the EF Typhoon might, although it'd seem like a big ask for it to actually make release this year. F-104 I assume will appear at some point (which I don't have that much interest in apart from the 'lets go for a really fast joyride' aspect as it feels like a somewhat limited platform that is going to rather suck to actually fight with). The full fidelity Fulcrum I assume must be fairly close. Edited January 5 by bfr

I have a feeling it's all being released at the same time. The map, an asset pack, the Hellcat, and maybe even the Corsair. It needs the map and assets at a minimum, or you can't do anything realistic with a plane. So my feeling is they're waiting on the map and/or assets and/or plane(s) to be ready, to release everything at once. 3
