DCS software releases - Keep it simple


Recommended Posts

Posted

I do not mind 20$ for having DCS Ka-50 upgraded to latest DCS engine version. Such engine upgrade is worth these 20$.

 

I do not understand Eagle Dynamics software releases though and the way we must install them. It is so annoying.

 

Why not release a base DCS package that is core engine and allows only to play and observe AIs, and release theaters and flyable aircraft or whatever as add on packages. Release the core engine with an auto-patcher/troubleshooter that keeps tracks of all the file versions and file/folder structure while allowing mods to be selected from separate custom folder tree, while keeping everything simple to one install folder and one UI! Saves us end-users disc space lots of trouble tweaking each DCS sim independently.

As Wags posted previously, ED is looking into a way to integrate DCS.

 

As usual, no promises, and of course it won't happen overnight, either.

Remember the 346 Fire Fighters, Medics & Police who died on 9-11.......

 

Selective memory is a wonderful thing, especially when certain posts simply disappear into the ether never to be seen again, unless I have a copy of the original post copied and pasted into word documents and saved .... just in case :)

Am I an abusive idiot ?

A folder with all shared core files then the module have seperate folders for their content. I'm sure this is where ED want to take it but I cant begin to imagine the support headaches to do it. ie: make update to core files then have to update ALL modules!

In this age of huge storage drives an extra 10-20gig is nothing to worry about

 

Good luck ED!

This is exactly how I exspected a DCS to work. Had I known before how it is done now I had skipped it from the beginning.

And I really, really, really miss the crimean peninsula and the Su-25/T in the DCS world now. I had wished that a DCS would keep what is already in, not deleting content to add another.

As technological improvements allow for more realistic simulators, DCS would get left behind. Wouldn't you agree? Far better to allow a few modules to gracefully age while allowing others to be as modern and realistic as possible.

I had to revive it just to give a big credit and hug to my beloved ED friend since 1996 with YOU!
