"All aspect of the simulation, outside the flyable aircraft"

"DCS World will be updated as DCS evolves with changes to the rendering system, AI units, AI logics, effects, etc. All aspect of the simulation, outside the flyable aircraft, add-on maps, and other paid-for content." Wags

 

I'm a bit confused, because I can understand this statement in two ways.

 

Here is the first undersanding: Will be everything upgraded "outside the flyable aircraft". So basicaly you won't get to fly that particular plane which you don't own, but as an AI it will be there. So in this understanding the point is on the "flyable". So If I just own the A-10C and my friend just own the Ka-50 and nothing else we can play it together because the 3d modell and etc. are in the DCS:World. That is the most logical I think and everybody think this at first time.

 

The second understanding: Will be everything upgraded "outside the flyable aircraft".

 

Every solely AI units will be there like F-16-s or T-72s and if they add something new they will incorporate it in the DCS:World but you won't get a "flyable aircraft" as a modell, or AI because in this undersanding the point is on "flyable aircraft"'. So If I just own the A-10C and my friend just own the Ka-50 and nothing else we can't play together becasuse he don't own the A-10C modell, ect and i don't own the Ka-50 3d model, etc. So they will not incorporate the 3d model, systems etc because it is an flyable aircraft which will only be there if you buy that product.

 

I know the beta has all the FC aircrafts, tha Ka-50 nad the A-10C aswell but remember it is only a beta and everything can change. They can be out when you will be able to buy these products, because for now you can't buy it to incorporata it in to you DCS:World.

 

Please devs confirm which understanding will be correct in the non beta release. Or if i undersand it wron plaese explain what will happen in that particular scenario:

 

"If I just own the A-10C and my friend just own the Ka-50 and nothing else can we play online"

"If I just own the A-10C and my friend just own the Ka-50 and nothing else can we play online"

 

Yes, of course you could.

 

Your "first understanding" was correct. EVERYTHING is in DCS Word, apart from the ability to actually FLY the aircraft (cockpit, avionics, AFM, etc). The AI models of all aircraft and the software components necessary to play online with a human flying any aircraft are part of World.

 

The only thing each flyable module brings is all the things needed for you to actually fly each aircraft.

Your first understanding is correct, if I understand your understanding :) DCS: World is, basically, the game itself. It is the core to which all flyable aircraft plug into.

 

Thus, everything outside the cockpit is shared between all the aircraft modules. You and a friend can fly together in multiplayer, even if he is in a Ka-50 and you are in an A-10. In fact, this is already possible in patch 1.1.1.1, I've been in both the Ka-50 directing in airstrikes for human-flown A-10s, and in the A-10 being directed onto targets by a human-flown Ka-50.

Thanks for the conformation, just you know my mind couldn't stand this duality of meanings.:thumbup:
