SUBS17 Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 as i said VRS are making amazing F-18's i just dont understand why they make them for flight simulator which is by no means a combat sim.. why not make them for DCS? or like seven-g make a new sim? FSX is pure torture for fighter jets.. u cant drop bombs , do BVR , damage module etc etc.. you have all the functionality detailed 100% in the cockpit but there's nothing to do with it but to fly around form A to B.. so you invest so much on making a perfect F-18 and put it on FSX...what a waste :( That stuff is in the VRS superhornet, yes you can do BVR, drop bombs, SAMs do bite and you do get damaged. Only problem is its for single player only not MP(in FS9) so far but I think at some point there maybe combat mods made for FSX. BTW SEAD is a bit more detailed in the VRS superhornet than it is in Falcon in some areas. [sIGPIC] [/sIGPIC]
SUBS17 Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 The problem is, they don't have to deal with all the secret data used in combat systems. In FSX, they don't care if your ECM doesn't work properly or at all. In DCS, this matters. But this info won't be released to anyone, and, unless you guys want to lower the DCS standards, the FSX models are just useless. VRS Superhornets ECM, decoy and HARMs work in single player against AI sams/radars. Its the only addon for FS that is on the same level as DCS thats not saying that more is possible for payware addons from such companys. [sIGPIC] [/sIGPIC]
SUBS17 Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 That's true, but the level of complexity has grown exponentially in today's sim market compared to the early ones. I think it's a noble cause no doubt, but I'm not putting any mental investment into it as more times than not it will become vaporware. I can see how third party model builders or moders can get stuff done. They've got 95% of the ground work laid for them. It's tough enough having to model you're own plane with realistic flight dynamics never mind work on a completely new engine with real world environments and to top that off...a combat environment. <--- Combat is probably the toughest thing to try to simulate because it's such a dynamic medium. Yeah I see were FO is coming from though of all sims its the one with the most potential that has the most difficult terrain because its global. The short cut now days is to use a publisher but then you run the risk of having the same problem lockon had when it was first released a rushed buggy product because of the publisher and the difficulty of making such software. Thats why they prefer to work alone than use a publisher. [sIGPIC] [/sIGPIC]
104th_Crunch Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 Would be pretty nice if there were as many 3rd party addons for DCS as there are for FSX, even if only 10% of them were top quality. These other sims in this thread I hope continue and do well, but the thought of their time going into a DCS addon is a very good idea I think.
