Dimebag1 Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 The fact that ED releases a piece of info like 'next dcs is US fixed wing fighter', a piece of info that was already known, and the community goes wild like a pack of ravenous baboons, tearing at a carcass, tells me the flight simming community is truly jumping on board with DCS. We all support what you guys are doing, reigning in a new golden age for flight sims. The future really is lookingvup for the sinning community. I personally think Microsoft dropped the ball by completely stripping out the whole flight sim genre and just leaving the bare bones with no meat. Us flight simmers are true meat eaters, and we like to chew the fat, and these DCS modules are like spit roast feasts where we can feed our faces to our hearts content. Right now ED can do no wrong, just release a good fighter next of the same quality as warthog, keep adding new features, and we will back you all the way. I just hope the military contracts keep coming in. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Irregular programming Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Except that they have already said their next jet is a fixed wing US tactical aircraft. :P Well, the US certainly takes a leading point in the production of fixed wing tactical jet-aircrafts from the US.

I just hope the military contracts keep coming in. Firstly, thank you for spelling it "sinning" in there. The Freud in me appreciates it. :) Secondly, I certainly think ED is the premier simulation house out there (and really, it's the only modern A/C dev house anyway... everything is period hardware). In any case, I'll be happy with a new Viper or a Superbug (or just the Hornet, really... then I can pretend I'm flying a CF-188...). Itkovian

Pikey Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 I can't see Carrier ops. I just can't see them. Don't get me wrong, I'd fly a handglider if DCS were redoing the seas, creating rough weather, waves for the all important rolling decks and detailed carriers - but theres a LOT of work involved in that. Existing terrain is a bit dull but these sims arent about detailed environments. Simulation of carrierops is all about weather/atmosphere, graphics. A carrier on that flat water would look like a remote control boat. Also, a rendition of carrier ops leans towards using the sea as a battleground and then we fall into the cold war scenarios instead of the modern "flashpoint" type carrier ops. If they did this i'd love to be wrong! Where do you set a modern US carrier ops flight sim? OK this weeks answer is the Gulf of Tripoli, but next week it could be anywhere and im not entirely sure that fits into either a Nevada setting which we know is coming or a Black sea setting. This is part of the DCS system. From a business point of view the F-15 or F-16 have the least development time - known aircraft. The F-16 to me, as a multirole jet and being the one of the most widely distributed jets across the world offers the easiest choice for ED. It fills SEAD, has varied weapon loads, mission types and roles, gives us all a burst of speed and manouvreability we missed out on so far and won't disappoint anyone. Saying the F16 has been done before is like saying you know what a burger tastes like after a McDonalds. I'd have a bet that a DCS Falcon would send shivers down an old Falcon flyers spine. Two seats....I can't see it...it offers problems, especially for online play the experience is TOO risky unless you are on a LAN. F-16 offers something new in their product range whilst being versatile to satisfy a wide range of tastes. It's multirole for all. Can you see anything else parked up in Nevada? This piece of the puzzle has to fit with the pieces you already have and although my heart is deeply into carrier ops, my head says the F16 is the best counterpart to the A10 - the missing piece that will be the easiest to develop. God i hope i'm wrong! ___________________________________________________________________________ SIMPLE SCENERY SAVING * SIMPLE GROUP SAVING * SIMPLE STATIC SAVING *

GGTharos Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 You're basing your puzzle on assumptions that are non-factors for the most part. ED has no problem developing whatever's needed for the next module, including pitching carrier decks or two seats if the module called for it. This piece of the puzzle has to fit with the pieces you already have and although my heart is deeply into carrier ops, my head says the F16 is the best counterpart to the A10 - the missing piece that will be the easiest to develop.

They tried to sell it but nobody wanted to buy, foreign or domestic. I think that can be safely ruled out. Despite the sweet mudhen model, I see a lot of problems implementing something like that in a detail-sim. "Tank! I need a program for a TM Warthog!"

The Boeing F/A-18E/F is an ultra-modern, well documented aircraft that is exported throughout the world, so nothing about it is too secret to be modeled on a computer simulation. It is basically a legacy hornet with increased-sized fuel tanks, greater payload capacity, beefed-up engines, provisions for the same awesome radar of the F-14, a very responsive and precise FCS (flight control system) that allows it to perform maneuvers that a legacy hornet only dreamed of, and a modernized cockpit that is very user-friendly.
