Dilema

[Gary]

Hi all,

 

I have been a keen simmer for many, many years.

 

I have also been on here for approx 3 years! never seen this issue disscussed before.

 

Heres the dilema

 

It all really started for me with Falcon 4

 

Got to the point I just couldnt keep up with all the mods and add ons what with free falcon, BMS et all and I was wondering if anyone else felt at times overwhelmed and unable to keep up?

 

Easy option is I guess to stick with vanilla install for ED but dont you then just fell like your missing out on something?

 

I do hope ED continue to update their products utilising the best mods available.

 

Just occurred to me that BS is now what, 3 years young?

Testiment to a products value is its life span and although F4 is often mocked by some, look how long that has kept many people very happy!

 

finally,

 

This is just my personal preference but does anyone else really want to see the whole ATC, comms implementation ramped up in the DCS series?

 

This part of the experience realy adds to my immersion personally and I can vividly remember the tower calls in the original F4 release (lost in updates and newer versions) stating you were 2,3 or 4 for the active....anyone else share my experiences?

 

 

Kind Regards,

 

Gary

Completely agree. The comms in F4 were/are outstanding. Having to orbit an airfield while a bunch of C-130s landed and having the ATC gently guide you in is still to this day incredibly immersive.

Lixma,

 

Agree and remember it well.

 

I note that Comms in DCS is WIP but that also code is feature locked.

Maybe in future this part will get additional features (i do hope so) or that some mods are produced that get the nod from ED

 

Sounds like you are still using F4?

If so did, they ever reintroduce the queing for active runway calls at mission start?

I think its so simple really and just the message that you are 2,3 4 etc for take off actually helps make you believe you are not alone and part of a bigger picture in the war zone.

 

Kind Regards,
