Mechanist Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 -Currently ground vehicles can't respawn, so whatever is setup in the mission is what you have. -AAA control is very basic and done by hand. You can lock targets and it will show you where to shoot based on your current movement and the targets movement. SAM's work by locking the target, aiming the launcher, and firing the missile. IR are fire and forget, while the Tunguska requires you to maintain lock. -Don't know about smoke, but I think its on a wishlist. -Yes you can control artillery, but its more of a "direct fire" mode. -Infantry cannot be controlled. Thanks for the answers! Can we know more about trees? Like collision modeling or LOS blocking feature? I can see a huge exploit in hiding in forests with SAM/AAA and shoot through trees... Also fighting against AI vehicles in urban / forest area with first person controlled vehicles wolud be more than "tricky". "Fighters make movies, bombers make history."

theghost Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Hello friends, I see two problems (I think), 1.More difficulties in fps. 2.Campaign,After all, the beauty of the game Is to fight on several levels Normal Server can withstand the load of multiple players?

xjiks Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 (edited) Well I assume this would be a "free" addon for those who bought the BETA version of DCS Warthog because this was already possible to drive the ground units, until ED decided to remove the feature in the release version, like the NEVADA map? Next module: DCS:Wheels ED: "sorry guys we had to remove the wheels of your favorite A10C Warthog; stay tuned for a future soon ® module DCS:Wheels for 30$ until then you can no longer drive on parking area" whoops i forgot the smiley :music_whistling: Edited June 1, 2012 by xjiks L'important n'est pas de tuer, mais de survivre.

xjiks Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Yes, provided that it is a vehicle and aircraft server with A-10's. If it's a vehicle-only server then no, they will require the CA module. What about spectator mode ? Can't we just be the spectator if we don't own the module ? L'important n'est pas de tuer, mais de survivre.

159th_Viper Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 What about spectator mode ? Can't we just be the spectator if we don't own the module ? I would assume that you would be able to cycle through external views as you do now - have not tried so cannot confirm with 100% certainty. In any event, that would be up to the server admin I suppose to dictate which views are enabled. I for one would advocate that you would not be able to spectate, especially if the two coalitions are involved in a PvP ground-war. Why would you allow one person to spectate and accordingly relay enemy positions via TS to the opposing coalition?

Cedaway Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Well I assume this would be a "free" addon for those who bought the BETA version of DCS Warthog because this was already possible to drive the ground units, until ED decided to remove the feature in the release version, like the NEVADA map? Next module: DCS:Wheels ED: "sorry guys we had to remove the wheels of your favorite A10C Warthog; stay tuned for a future soon ® module DCS:Wheels for 30$ until then you can no longer drive on parking area" whoops i forgot the smiley :music_whistling: Actually, the ability to drive an UAZ in DCS A-10c was an easter, not a feature... And, errr, Nevada map was really not ready for release. The developpement of Nevada map is much more complicated since ED is developping a new terrain / gfx engine for it (ED Minsk). So, if you're not interested in, you're not forced to buy. DCS: CA does not interest me, I'll not buy it. It's my decision and I don't complain about this release. Because it's a very good idea, pushing the borders of the game and much people are interested in. But, maybe the reason you're complaining today is that you are actually also interested... But not already aware of it. (Oh, not forget the smiley... :music_whistling: ) (And do you know many games sold at 30$ at this time, when AAA game like the 'Call of' series are sold 60$ for 6 to 8 hours solo gaming?) (Again, :music_whistling::music_whistling::music_whistling: ) Have a nice day. And thank you ED for your work and dedication, even if I would prefer to see the release of Nevada / Edge. There is time for things. I'm patient and I'm sure the day will come... DCS Wish: Turbulences affecting surrounding aircraft...

jmod Posted June 1, 2012 Author Share Posted June 1, 2012 (edited) OMG, I'm getting heart-attack! Why are you doing this to us, ED? Newcomers: DCS: MiG-21Bis (so far, so good) DCS: F-15E Strike Eagle (IRIS, don't forget, you're making for DCS World, not FSX) DCS: Combined Arms DTAC Terrain (should be EDGE compatible) And what else, oh, DCS: P-51D Mustang (damn it)! :D OK, lots of new things, but what about engine itself? High-fidelity aircraft needs high-fidelity environment, and both of them need high performance engine (DX11, and mulit CPU-GPU). :music_whistling: Please make everything perfect! :) Edited June 1, 2012 by jmod 1 Let's fly together for the sake of peace :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildFire Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 BTW, Cato and Binary did an amazing job on this video. I think Hollywood would be a lot cooler if these guys were in the biz.

ED Team Glowing_Amraam Posted June 1, 2012 ED Team Share Posted June 1, 2012 Btw, one thing i didn't include in the video, is the ability to command units around from the drivers seat, kind of like how you order your squad mates around in the game "Brothers in Arms". You click the appropriate button, and an icon appears on the screen, and you can tell them to move to an area just by placing the icon somewhere on the terrain. :) And thanks for the comments on the video.

159th_Viper Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Will the DCS Combined Arms Collection also have the Nevada Map in June? Combined Arms is a module and not a collection.

Jeff DCS:-World is completely free - it is a complete flight sim with everything working and a free Su-25T to fly - Download it here (ignore the last file for the P-51) http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/index.php?scr=product&ProductId=18&end_pos=135&lang=en After that - buy CA when it is released. You can still use the Su-25T in addition to all of CA features. CA will also enable Multiplayer for DCS:-World.

chromium Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 GA, you are legen... Wait for it Dary! Another Barney Sintson??!! :lol: (sorry for the OT) Author of DSMC, mod to enable scenario persistency and save updated miz file Stable version & site: https://dsmcfordcs.wordpress.com/ Openbeta: https://github.com/Chromium18/DSMC The thing is, helicopters are different from planes. An airplane by it's nature wants to fly, and if not interfered with too strongly by unusual events or by a deliberately incompetent pilot, it will fly. A helicopter does not want to fly. It is maintained in the air by a variety of forces in opposition to each other, and if there is any disturbance in this delicate balance the helicopter stops flying; immediately and disastrously.
