DetroitDieseL Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I found this interesting. We- or I kind of skimmed on this idea in a thread a week or so ago. Right around the 2:00 mark he says it, listen for it. I like this plan better. If you want peace, prepare for war....

71st_Mastiff Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 (edited) well that was before they made changes, so it's A10c then maybe Apache.

Frederf Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I'm really, really interested in how ED handles 2-seater aircraft for both multiplayer human-human and singleplayer human-AI control. That's going to be something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitDieseL Posted May 18, 2010 Author Share Posted May 18, 2010 I image the co-pilot will be AI just like your wingman. I am very eager to fly an Apache in this sim. I never did the LB deal. I think it would diffently be a great addition to this sim. If you want peace, prepare for war....

ZQuickSilverZ Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Well that gives you a pretty good clue what the next release could be does'nt it. This interveiw was pre mid 2008 wich means they have been working on Apache and A-10C for at LEAST two years. Not saying Apache is the next release but with 2 years development time, plus the time till the A-10c release and the Apache (probably 2 more years or so, so 4 years total minimum) release, thier team size, and schedule, I would say that its a pretty good freakin bet. Any takers? I need, I need, I need... What about my wants? QuickSilver original. "Off with his job" Mr Burns on the Simpsons.

Toxe Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Sure an Apache would be nice to have but I'd prefer other planes first. F-18 or F-16, Su-25T, Su-33 or a Hind.

But frankly after the Hog I'd love to see a "DCS: Dynamic Campaign". One can dream... ;) Exactly, as nice as FC2 is I grew tired of the missions quickly. A Falcon4 style campaign engine would add life to this series, if we keep having the same campaigns, that I find very uninteresting, I might buy the A-10 module out of curiousity but would probably not buy anything further like a possible F-16 module. http://www.lieuwedevries.com High Quality Aircraft profile drawings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKLronin Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I think that a dynamic campaign never can create those intense missions we have at the moment. This may work for Troop here troop there moving elsewhere. Can´t imagine that a dynamic campaign looks out for the right spots in terrain to make a good mission.

PhoenixBvo Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 A dynamic campaign doesn't have to mean that an algorithm has to generate all mission elements. I imagine a good dynamic campaign engine still requires a lot of human input in the form of databases. For example, a variety of mappings of the terrain for mission variables such as ambush sites, terrain cover, possible axes of advance, suitable SAM locations, suitable supply routes, etc. The campaign engine would use all these databases in combination with the current military situation to decide where the elements in the next mission are located, how they move and so on. This should provide intelligent looking, yet ever varying missions, but it'd be a huge project to get it right...

Eddie Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 The campaign engine would use all these databases in combination with the current military situation to decide where the elements in the next mission are located, how they move and so on. This is the thing, a truly dynamic campaign doesn't have a 'next mission'. A true dynamic campaign, eg the campaign engine in Falcon 4 (I'll stop using it as an example when something better comes along), is simply one continuous war that is going on even when you are not in the cockpit. Everything happens regardless of your actions, you are just another cog in the big machine that is war. Sadly in it's present state missions in DCS give you the opposite feeling, rather than just being another pilot, in another aircraft, you are the centre of the universe and if you fail everything fails. This in itself lends the sim to an air quake style of play rather than flying missions in a realistic manner. However that's not to say there is no merit in a scripted mission, they can, when well made be very good indeed. And they are certainly invaluable for training purposes, due to their predictable nature. But they can never replace a true dynamic campaign engine. Now do I think we'll ever see one in DCS? Honestly, no, not for the foreseeable future anyway. And not because there is no demand for one, or in any way that ED couldn't make one or indeed has a desire to make one as I'm sure they could and would. As with everything else it's a time and money issue. Producing a good dynamic campaign engine is a time consuming and expensive process, and not something I think ED will be able to do until such time as they have a decent wad of cash in the bank from both commercial and military projects, and of course the resources and time to do it. As for what aircraft comes next, well it'll no doubt be decided by what military contracts ED can obtain next. And at the moment from what I've read on these forums, not even ED know that answer to that one as yet. We'll just have to do the military thing and 'hurry up and wait'.

nemises Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 The ME improves with each new patch and version of DCS ... I would definately bet on ED to come up with something very cool going forward ME / campain wise ... fingers crossed ...

DetroitDieseL Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share Posted May 19, 2010 I would like to see some sort of comms with the troops on the ground. I know when I was in the Service- on an M1A1- we had comms with Apaches and A-10s. I would personally give 6-9 digit cord. to exactly where the bad guys were, that is if we couldn't laze and blaze them. And the A-10s were close enough to see a thumbs up from them..................awesome. 1 If you want peace, prepare for war....

And may not see the shelvs for a few years. He has all ready ben working on it since Sep 2009. One other thing it wont be to the standards of DCS realism as we all know the AH-64D is still classified. I think DCS has the upper leag on them for now.

DetroitDieseL Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share Posted May 19, 2010 (edited) Do you give coordinates in UTM or lat-long? If thats what our maps were set up with. It kind of seems that way, but then wouldn't our enemies have are positions. Doesn't matter we were on a freq. hop radio. But I was issued maps as well as everyone else and as you know a 9 digit cord. is more accurate than a 6 digit... Edited May 19, 2010 by DetroitDieseL If you want peace, prepare for war....
