New DCS: A-10C Web Page is Live

[Eddie]

wonder why the outfit monochrome displays still? , think this day and age they would outfit daylight color HD monitors? in the cockpit.

 

They are colour displays, it's the CCD sensor in the LITENING pod that is greyscale only.

[Krunkskimo]

First Order of business.

 

Bomb every casino that took my money

[Cornbread]

Oh, man.

 

I work from home, so now I've got to figure out how to impose some self-discipline and not spend my entire day staring at this.

 

Maybe nothing gets done at all.:helpsmilie:

 

News about ground AI almost made me fall out of my chair. Want. To. Play. So. Bad.

[z33r0]

new ground ai and jtac got me. now i am sure i'll buy this.

[Chazz_BMF]

OMG...this is just getting better and better. Now just need to start saving up for the new TM stick :) by the way is it possible for a player to take the role of the JTAC. Still remember some of the trainingg i got when i was a recon scout in the army :) Would be a joy to call an airstrike down on a target with the help from some online buddies.

[Python]

This is looking soooo good, i can't wait to (try and) buzz Area 51 :music_whistling: im very much looking forward to this one....

[Speed]

I'm very excited about the Battlefield Commander mode. Now, we can have one person dedicated to controlling all the ground forces, calling in airstrikes, maybe even directing friendly AI aircraft-talk about about awesome! Furthermore, we can have an OPFOR Ground Force Commander! Now we can have intelligent acting ground and air forces on BOTH sides! Think about all the possibilities now! No more boring, static battlefields.

maybe a combo sensor unit would work even better daylight color mode , and the usual low visual and night attack suite built into it.

 

 

makes sence to me.

 

.........

 

sometimes great minds over see the simplistics .

 

they need a nvidia g force card in the sensor hehe

[Steel Jaw]

Any sign of a third producer note yet?

So that means that non of the Pod pics are in FLIR mode? I was wondering about that because it does just look like b/w tv and not heat imaging. Will FLIR be fully modelled, for example like the new FLIR optics in Arma2 Operation Arrowhead? With realistic heating and cooling of objects?

[CAT_101st]

yes it will. white hot and black hot..

[Griffin]

Awesome! Great info. I still hope Black Shark will not be left without at least some of these features.

[blaster454]

This is impressive and more that I was expecting! :thumbup:

 

I am especially pleased with the virtual JTAC and Battlefield Commander functions that will make this sim a great CAS platform. Add in the AI improvements and the Mission Editor additions and enhancements and I can see some very interesting and realistic online missions coming!

[Zulu]

Thats absolutly amazing, I never expected so many improvements other than the A-10 itself.

[diveplane]

hoping to see system specs shortly on the site , cant wait, x5 nasa super cray systems usb linked and x9 quad core liquid cooled cpus to run the sim at minimum framerates :>(

..............=joke

 

hopefully it wont be to much of a hog over dcs blackshark.

 

great stuff.

[MTFDarkEagle]

Nice! Something new to read :)

Runs fine maxed out on my rig, and it's still WIP so isn't optimised yet.

[rapid]

Nice! Something new to read :)

 

Agreed.:thumbup:

[ZaGoS]

This looks awesome , just got a new P.C. , can't wait to fly this Baby!

Great reading material , it really builds up the anticipation ...

[power5]

Wow thanks for listening to our critiques on BS and the AI system and ME negatives. Will be very nice to see scurrying enemy when I light them up with my GAU. If I can. The ability to tell ground forces where they need to reposition is awesome as well.

 

That Cockpit is just :shocking::beer:

 

Could you let us know what settings those images are taken on? I assume at the max everything.

[diveplane]

thx for the info on that.

 

my rig should run it fine then.

[HiJack]

Nice nice nice :beer:

 

Is it possible to publish the keyboard list/map soon so we can start making joystick profiles? :cheer3nc:

[combatace]

I guess it will be released in November nine months from FC2, thats what DCS series is gonna be, new plane every nine months.

[HiJack]

Will these changes to DCS be updated to Ka-50 as well? Like the impressive ground units upgrade.

 

Improved Ground Force AI

Given the A-10C's mission, ground forces artificial intelligence is critical. Important improvements include:

•Water crossing vehicles will bypass destroyed bridges

•Other units will re-route themselves if their route is blocked

•If a moving ground group is engaged, the group will disperse and evade

•Ground groups will now better use formations and employ new ones

•Some groups will pop smoke if engaged

New Updates to the DCS engine are supposed to apply to the DCS series so I'd think that's a big yes AFAIK!
