aaron886 Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 You should add white and a few shades of grey to that world view of yours. :) He's allowed that opinion, I suppose. It's unfair to suggest that ED hasn't been working hard or making a lot of sweeping changes behind the scenes. You can have whatever high expectations you like, but the truth is that it's a small team working hard to make the biggest strides possible with the resources they have available. 2
EtherealN Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 Anything Im forgetting? All aircraft, including russian birds, were carefully re-examined to conform to available performance data. ;) 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Daniel "EtherealN" Agorander | Даниэль "эфирныйн" Агорандер Intel i7 2600K @ 4.4GHz, ASUS Sabertooth P67, 8GB Corsair Vengeance @ 1600MHz, ASUS GTX 560Ti DirectCU II 1GB, Samsung 830series 512GB SSD, Corsair AX850w, two BENQ screens and TM HOTAS Warthog DCS: A-10C Warthog FAQ | DCS: P-51D FAQ | Remember to read the Forum Rules | | | Life of a Game Tester

Pilotasso Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 Nothing for Su-27? It recieved the same dynamis update as F-15 if I dunderstand the annoucement correctly. The only thing missing is updated graphics in the pit, but thats just superficial, the simulation is more important. I too hope to see russian planes addon to be annouced. Im surprised no one in the CIS contries has formed up a team to make a russian module. .

Cali Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) Please postpone releasing FC3 for another 7-8 months, I'll be back then. I'm looking forward to see what improvements have been made to the missiles.

Gaanalma Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 Fantastic News.... As soon as possible I buy it, I will hasten to do it ... Congratulations to the ED and all the testers who have contributed to this part of the World that will allow the various communities that still use FC2, to extend and improve their simulation experience in a new "World". Thanks from me and from all over the 36 ° Stormo Virtuale (Italy)! www.36stormovirtuale.net 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] www.36stormovirtuale.net
Blacknemisis Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 If the the cockpits of the Su27, Mig29, and Su25 are the same as the cockpit of the Su25t in DCS world then I would have to pass on this one. Im talking about graphic the Toad cockpit looks horrible after you have played DCS a10c, Blackshark, and BMS. It looks like pasted or something. 1
squinkys Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 I don't understand everyone complaining about the price tag, in my opinion $40 is an appropriate price for what you get. The whole "have to have an existing installation of FC2" is troubling however. If I have to purchase a $30 old piece of software to gain the ability to purchase the $40 FC3 I'll just skip the whole thing altogether. 1
some1 Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 It's unfair to suggest that ED hasn't been working hard or making a lot of sweeping changes behind the scenes. You can have whatever high expectations you like, but the truth is that it's a small team working hard to make the biggest strides possible with the resources they have available. I'm not denying that, I also know that thanks to this hard work and core changes the future looks somewhat brighter, with DCS:World, opening to 3rd party, and so on. But what we have now is just a fraction of what has been discussed years ago. Remember the talks about DCS module every 9 months? Apache cockpit? DCS:fighter jets? Instead a new buyer has a choice of a helicopter that was produced in a very very small numbers. An attack plane, nice, but not very attractive to average Joe (not the type that would play the major role in a new Top Gun if you know what I mean). And a warbird that does not fit anything at all. Plus now we have FC3, a new product that still requires original disc from decade ago. 1 Hardware: VPForce Rhino, FSSB R3 Ultra, Virpil WarBRD, Hotas Warthog, Winwing F15EX, Slaw Rudder, GVL224 Trio Throttle, Thrustmaster MFDs, Saitek Trim wheel, Trackir 5, Quest Pro

EtherealN Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 The whole "have to have an existing installation of FC2" is troubling however. From the release, see original post: "Lock On: Flaming Cliffs 3 will require an installation of Lock On: Modern Air Combat or a previous version Flaming Cliffs." LOMAC is fine. FC2 is not required. The LOMAC requirement is not up to ED, this is a contractual obligation to UbiSoft, which own LOMAC IP.

The LOMAC requirement is not up to ED, this is a contractual obligation to UbiSoft, which own LOMAC IP. Thanks for clearing that up. The wording of that statement just adds to the confusion for the uninitiated. Which I most certainly am. Bottom line for me (and maybe anyone else in a similar situation) is if I have to pay a price of admission (LOMAC) to get my hands on FC3, I'll pass. I have no desire to track down and install 10 year old software. I'm sure I'll be keeping an eye on FC3's progress and maybe down the line I'll see some features that change my mind!
