chromium Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 Maybe OT, please feel free to move to appropriate position. I'm Italian and I don't write an appropriate english, I'll try to make me undestandable. I love Ka-50 and even if I already brought the A-10 Beta, for sure I will continue to fly in Ka-50 for a long long long period... chopperlove is the reason.... but... I believe that the highest fun level in the sims world for me is now, now that a lot of people fly FC2 online with my virtual squadron (21Gt) and we can plan complete mission for 12-16 pilots covering several roles. I love Ka-50 realism. So, to my point of view, I was never been so close to the multiplayer sim nirvana :) And I'm starting to hope that instead of a beautiful Ah-64A we could find: -FC2 patched also to A-10C with BS, to get new 3D world, JTAC and more intelligient ground troops. This will enlonge 2 more years of collaboration beetween virtual squadron. People that I know love FC2 cause of the multi role capability (non multi aircraft... multirole) and cause the immersivity of the world. I will pay some euros for it, even if I do not use and hold FC2. -next DCS module: a multirole aircraft. F-16 C, Mig-29 A, anything you could find less classificated. this will sobstitute FC2, in a world with an helo, a CAS plane and a multirole aircraft capable of strikes and air-to-air engagement. I do not believe also that ED could patch more than two sims every release over years.. it's a great effort I think. So maybe the Ah-64 (for example) in the future will sobstitute the Ka-50. For sure is difficult to be one of the ED team, because you created BS and now A-10.... and A-10 is the first top level sim after Falcon 4 since.... 12 years? And I do not expect anything more to the beautiful work you are delivering to us in those past years... but as an addicted user I want to post my opinion. Thank you all, Lorenzo.

An airplane by it's nature wants to fly, and if not interfered with too strongly by unusual events or by a deliberately incompetent pilot, it will fly. A helicopter does not want to fly. It is maintained in the air by a variety of forces in opposition to each other, and if there is any disturbance in this delicate balance the helicopter stops flying; immediately and disastrously.
MTFDarkEagle Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 Q: Will DCS: A-10C Warthog be online-compatible with DCS: Black Shark and Flaming Cliffs 2? A: We hope to be able to release a compatibility patch for DCS: Black Shark after release. This would give Black Shark all the features of A-10C, except the flyable A-10C. Compatibility with FC2 is unlikely. I too would hope for a all round compatibility. Lukas - "TIN TIN" - 9th Shrek Air Strike Squadron TIN TIN's Cockpit thread
chromium Posted October 27, 2010 Author Posted October 27, 2010 I know. that is why i make this post: maybe if a lot of people agree with me could move ED to another way. Could be important to understand how many FC2 online squadron will move fast from it to A-10. If they are 90%, ED is on the right way, if they are 10%, maybe they could consider an half way :). But I repeat, it's only an idea and we shouldn't pretend anything from them: they certanly are giving their best and it is excellent :) Author of DSMC, mod to enable scenario persistency and save updated miz file Stable version & site: https://dsmcfordcs.wordpress.com/ Openbeta: https://github.com/Chromium18/DSMC The thing is, helicopters are different from planes.

GGTharos Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 What matters is that ED has a schedule and I doubt FC2 fits into it - not that I really know anything about anything.

Blaze Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 I was wondering since Black Shark will be getting all the features of A-10C (visual upgrades I'm assuming and more), why not just give FC2 the new features BS is getting minus the online compatibility. FC2 could use a face lift, with the new visuals, water, HDR, better self shadowing, new airfields and objects, specular/normal mapping with .EDM format support, etc. That would make me happy. :) i7 7700K | 32GB RAM | GTX 1080Ti | Rift CV1 | TM Warthog | Win 10 "There will always be people with a false sense of entitlement.

Crash_Fistfight Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 I'm secretly hoping that in due course (6 months-year) the dev team my add support for the x65f split throttle, FFB and differential toe braking in FC2. Nothing else mind you I understand that FC2 has reached the end of the line but it's still a great sim which will played for many years to come it's just a personal fantasy to have better support for newer peripherals. Of course patching FC2 is fraught with difficulty due to the Ubi IP and all that so a minor patch may never be worth the trouble.:cry:
104th_Crunch Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 This thread is about the same subject http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=60202 IMO, if a fighter will come to DCS after A-10, leave FC2 so we get the fighter quicker. We already got a nice update with FC2 and it can't go forever. People forget just how much work a patch will be for ED. When a DCS fighter comes I won't touch FC2 anymore. A10C already makes me feel this way a little.
