DCS A-10C producer notes number one!

[Pougatchev]

Just want to said, amazing work!

 

Thank's for all Matt!

 

Now we can be very patient, do you think the manual can be out before the A-10C?

[Smoky]

Best news I've heard in a while!!

[Glowing_Amraam]

I must to admit that intro board is made beautifly! Simple, quick and nice. Very good typo! Keeps DCS Ka50 line. Great job! Who made it? I want to send a rep point.

 

That would be me. :)

Too bad Matt removed the sound though. I actually put some sweet sounds into that small intro :P :D

[Glowing_Amraam]

nice, looking forward to hearing the turbo fan engines coming to life.

 

They sound amazingly realistic!! :)

[Feuerfalke]

Very nicely done!

 

IMHO the PNs from Ka-50 were really good, but they've come a long way since then and are really professional now, from both, looks and sound.

 

Definitely looking forward to the next releases.

 

Thanks and hats off, Wags!

 

( PS: And if I may add: It's not even July, yet! :D )

Outrageous Wags, what were you thinking! :D

 

Outstanding work on the PN :thumbup:

Agree with tarmac bump mapping being way overdone. Please fix.

 

The russian 'airwolf' held no fascination for me and I never purchased.

 

This one is a definitely going to be added to my sim collection. Actually .... looking forward to it being added to the FC2 world. :thumbup:

Not to derail the topic, but don't hold your breath on this one. Not decided yet. :)

[Protos]

Its ok ...... for a minute there I was getting worried they were doing so well, that I wouldn't have anything to fight with Wags about :unsure:

 

Let the lobbying for inclusion into FC2 commence.

[Wags]

Thanks for the comments folks! As EB mentioned, this note is based on WIP, Alpha code that will be improved and adjusted over time. We'd rather give you notes now based on WIP code then wait until the code is near final.

[Krippz]

What a welcome surprise ED!

[claud]

OMFG!@ looks amazing..

 

i'm a F-16 fan myself but i'm gonna move mud until it comes with this beauty of an A-10.

[Yurgon]

Enthusiastic

 

Great to see the first PN. Thanks a lot Wags and GA!

It might be the quality of the video, but the overall engine quality looks to be an improvement.

 

It's just conjecture with that quality, but there appears to be some sort of overal glow, some new lighting going on, "HDR"?, runways looks more populated (could just be the from the mission editor), the runway is more detailed and the "grass" makes a big difference.

 

I just hope the draw distance for the grass is enough to make it look good without hitting the performance a massive ammount.

 

Looking good though!

 

Will BS get these engine improvements?

 

Are you kidding? The difference in the graphics quality is striking! Clouds, SHADOWS... Maybe even ambient occlusion although it might be faked by the excellent skin. I just hope the blindman effect can be disabled :music_whistling:

 

Edit:

What was your very first impression? Mine was "at last - a contemporary technology" :P

 

You have lost me, by quality I was reffering to the video on Youtube, which by anyones standard is "bitty". Thus I cannot make an accurate assesment of the quality because of the compression induced "granieness".

 

My very first impression was "is this really set to 720p". :D

Wags- will these notes be uploaded to the site for download?

 

Thanks

Thanks mate

[-fox-]

Awesome!

[sweinhart3]

Looks awesome. I cant wait. I have 2 questions. Will this have a dynamic weather system and are the trees still gonna be AI see through?

 

Edit: Oh also the "grass" looks more like shrubbery. Is there gonna be grass with the shubbery or just what we see there?

......as such, your questions would be difficult to answer ;)

what do you mean, it wont be lockon mp compatible?!?!?!?!?!

[Agg]

Looks awesome, Im not a big Hog-fan, but I must say that Im really looking forward to this :)

 

Will there be any improvements to the water?

[Eddie]

It might not be compatible, they can't be sure yet until A-10C is finalised. At some point FC2 will have to stop being compatible or it will start to hold back improvements to DCS.

 

Personally, while I do see some positives to having MP compatibility there are also quite a few negatives as well. I won't be sorry when FC2 is no longer compatible, especially if it allows ED to concentrate on further DCS modules.

Looking awesome, cant wait to see it starting up!

I can see a few negatives of having the highly simplified flight model from FC2 competing againts the A-10C, at the end of the day it competes a lot closer to the other Aircraft in FC2 than the Blackshark, but at the same time, until there asre fast movers in DCS I hope we do keep FC2 talking to the DCS suite.
