Developer Interview

[Bvoiash]

Hi guys, there's a new developer interview here :).

 

Jim Mackonochie: Coding has already started on the next aircraft in the DCS series. All I can say is that it will be a USA fixed wing aircraft!

 

Hmmm, I wonder what aircraft it is. I'm hoping, as many do as well from reading this forum, that it will be a multi-role aircraft :).

[EtherealN]

DCS:AT-802U

 

:)

 

I wish.

[Bvoiash]

lol, I hope not :).

[docehrenhoefer]

Well, it would be something different.

CCIP bombing of warthogs - the "real" lil buggers, or strafing some rats.

[zakobi]

The AT-802U could actually be interesting :D

 

Anyone seen from their military contractor side, if they've developed any new sims for a military?

 

Anyways, my first thought would be a F-15 or F-16.

[menendezdiego]

it's the F-15E...just look at the modeling of the current F-15E in DCS A-10C...it's a no brainer.

 

Not only that, but the USAF probably got wind of the DCS training for A-10C pilots, and requested the same for their Mud Hens

[Bvoiash]

That's my guess as well but I'll wait and see.

Release date later this month? I'm pretty skeptical about that one.

DCS:AT-802U

 

What a sweet ride.........can i get it PIMPed?

 

anyone......?

 

someone........?

 

 

no-one!?.............?

[Phrenesis]

Release date later this month? I'm pretty skeptical about that one.

Unless Beta 6 is actually a RC.

Its either the single seat F-16C Block 40 or the F-15C. There's no way they'll be able to fully simulate the F-15E. There's a number of avionics which are (AFAIK) very top secret.

WTG!!! I really hope that it is F-15E, last time i flew it in Janes F15 1998 or 1999 :thumbup:

[chaos]

F-16 for sure... I think. :-)

[Namenlos Ein]

A/F-18C or F-16C block …. Uh… Never mind.

[tintifaxl]

I'm wishing for a F15E or F18 with carrier ops. Next best thing for me a F16. Looking forward to the announcement :)

Not only skeptical. How about, "No chance in hades!"

And I guess the new one will be released "9 months" later. And maybe by that time it will be "modular", instead of a series.

Riiiiiiight.

I wonder if they actually believe their own spin.

 

My predictions:

DCS:WH download final release: late April

DCS:BS update patch: end of 2011 (if we're lucky!)

DCS:?? early 2014 (again, seriously, if we're lucky!)

[EtherealN]

I'll warn you once and once only, 3poch: please read rule 1.10:

 

1.10. - Product feedback and constructive criticism is encouraged when provided in a mature and courteous manner. However, feedback that is abusive, insulting or condescending is not welcome. Additionally, to bring up a particular issue repeatedly after it has already been acknowledged will be considered "trolling" - in such cases a warning will be issued to the author and the post will be removed.

[3poch]

You're right. I apologize. My post did come out kind of rude and condescending. I won't let it happen again.

 

I stand by my predictions.

[element1108]

I'm actually surprised we got a tidbit of information in that article on the next module, fixed wing, american...that narrows down the list definitely.

 

:D

Firstly, thanks for the interview and answers Jim & Gordon. Great read

 

And my money is on the FA-18 Rhino's.

 

P.S: Slightly bummed out about the lack of DCS: Apache. I guess the incrediablly arcade Apache Air Attack will have to do.

Bugger! I was wanting to scream "GET TO THE CHOPPA!!!" without a Russian accent.

[winz]

soooo, it's really going to be AC-130U? :P

[EtherealN]

soooo, it's really going to be AC-130U? :P

 

Not AC-130U. AT-802U! Important difference! :D

[Boberro]

If you can run DCS: Black Shark, you will be able to run DCS:A10C

 

Yeah sure ...
