so far, BS and FC2 are compatible.

I don't see a difference between WH and BS in realism.

 

AFAIK,

BS will get a compatibility patch with WH later this year, but no strict timeline exists yet, WH need some more ironing (that was from an interview with WAGS in one of the sites).

 

once BS and HW are compatible, according to the same interview, FC2 compatibility would be considered. problem is that with every DCS module, FC2 would have more advantage due to system simplicity. you can see it now with A10A vs A10C. life are much simpler in FC2. (but it's so much less effective)

What happened to each module will be compatible with future modules idea? Not talking FC2. Am I wrong. I thought each DCS module woud be compatible with the next. One of the purposes of doing modules. Just a question guys. That was my thought so maybe I have it all wrong. If wrong, no problem, just nice to know info for future. I know you are doing a patch and great. I am holding off for a while till things settle down with new release and yes I will purchase a10 and patiently waiting for fixed wing fighter, what ever it is..:thumbup:

FC2 is not a DCS module. The first module of the DCS series was the HokumPokum.

Nothing, it's still valid. But developing the engine and making the modules compatible out of the box is not possible, so the patch approach it is.

Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two.

Just like you said, if you give the same mission to A-10As and A-10Cs, I'm confident that the A-10Cs will complete it faster and with fewer losses ;)

 

A 3 minutes gain on rampstart doesn't mean much, in the end it's eyeball mk1 vs Litening, eyeball mk1 vs MWS, eyeball mk1 vs SADL, etc :P

No need to have FC2 compatibilty, because the next module will be the F-18, it's an all-in-one plane ! :music_whistling:

If no slot for a A-10A in the misson... no problem...

FC2 fighters would get raped by DCS fighters... I bought FC2 and I couldn't stand it. Until A-10 came out, I still flew Falcon 4 occasionally so that I could fly a fixed wing aircraf that was actually capable. No offense but, an aircraft modelled to survey sim level is never going to be able to compete with one that is modelled to the system fidelity that a real fighter is... at least, by ED's definition of a survey sim.

 

I don't think that you'd have a problem for DCS fighters vs LOCKON fighters, it'd be like the Jetsons meeting the Flintstones.

I think you're wrong. The FC2.0 fighters would probably be far easier and have less workflow than a fully fledged DCS fighter. Hell, I know a guy that can get lots of Spamraam kills but can't trim (ie can't fly properly). lol.

True, but "easy" isn't "efficient". That would be funny to see 4 vanilla FC2 F-15s vs 4 DCS F-18s, with full datalink support on one side and none on the other ;)

HMM, how did the discussion get to FC2, I said I was not talking about FC2. Just DCS modules. I have a reply. They will be compatible but only through a patch. Hmm, seems strange it can't come with compatibility built in. I thought that was why ED was doing modules so one would be compatible with the first. According to the kind reply by the way, thank you for promptness, it will only be compatible after a patch is done. Oh well it gets there in the end I suppose. Cheers.:)

All it takes is a missile and a lock, thats all you need to take down a plane. The only other action with a similair impact to the event would be realistic ECM and ECCM which nobody is going to simulate anywhere near right in the coming years.

I enjoy Falcon to a degree but can't stand the desktop feel it gives, real pilots don't trickle mouse pointers around their cockpits to make things happen?

Many followers dupe themselves into believing it to be pilot nirvana, it ain't. It is abound with theory but lacks in practice. The opposite is true of FC2.

FC2 simulates jet air combat a lot better than what many give it credit for. Lacking in full real avionic representation doesn't make it a poor combat simulator.

Agreed regarding combat simulation vs proceedure simulation. But also, don't underestimate the possible gains from a properly done study simulation in this department too - for example, in FC2 you do not have proper datalinks (and when someone implemented datalinks some people got pissed off, but meh), and depending on the armament options of a DCS fighter you might also get advantages of slammers with datalinks, or (for that matter) slammers that do more than a simple loft trajectory. These are things whose omission in FC2 does change the battlespace pretty radically.
