206 Burner VR Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Whoaw - That's a N.E.E.D. The Hornet is my favorite US plane. :) Thank you for the Link ! same here +1 [sIGPIC]http://vlep.pl/u14oct.jpg[/sIGPIC] PILOT: " B U R N E R "
Demongornot Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Really nice model, its really nice but it still a problem sadly. A simulator must be optimized for internal view first, actually we simulate a camera rather than a pilot, its a big error, but optimized for external view its a bigger error... Even with my big computer its hard to get decent frames rate, i don't lag but sometime i have FPS drops... The problem its that 3D object don't really help us, i have always say that 3D model of DCS are the best i have ever see, but the map and the ground object like tree look poor and need an update, and i think rather than over optimized 3D model of aircraft already really nice (the Hornet before this one was nice), the priority must be to make a better model for aircraft who have the same model since LOMAC, i prefer have a decent map with nice color and who look realistic (and not see the classic unrealistic color and strange brow spots on the ground who are supposed to represent bush or earth) rather than have a model of train with 100 more polygons than what we need. Its really nice and i thanks ED for make better models but without want to critic them, they update the wrong thing... Anyways the Nevada will coming (we don't have any date but we can hope it will coming soon) but the Georgia need a big update, just make only better color will be 100 time better But i hope ED team will prefer to update old model rather than over update nice model cause actually the low frame rate for bad terrain rending issue of DCS become worst with new aircraft and land object model, it look like the graphic engine was a little more optimized this time cause i have win a lot of frame rates, so thanks to ED for this, i hope that will continue. And if this new F-18 is here cause its the next official 3D aircraft that will be bad for 3 party cause two of them already work on the Hornet... But we will see !

SkateZilla Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 The F-18C model was prolly thrown in because they are working on DCS F-18C behind the curtains, Figured they might as well throw the External model and AFM into the Engine now to see how the AI Flys it, so when the Beta Starts for F-18C the Module will be smaller file size (Pit, Systems, Manual). **Note, ED has not Confirm what the next Aircraft would be, but Putting the F-18C Assets in the engine now if the 3d model and textures are done just makes sense.

Yeah, but then again, so does putting in the new F-15C cockpit. Really, what it comes down to is that we have absolutely no idea what is next. If you aim for the sky, you will never hit the ground.
joey45 Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 So, the list is down to 2 planes*.. the 15C and the 18C... *the next DCS: US fixed wing.. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

By that logic, we're also probably getting: DCS: E2D Hawkeye DCS: E3 AWACS DCS: Il-76 etc... I'm with Pyroflash on this one. I want a DCS F/A-18C as much as everyone else, but I don't think this new 3D model is a "sign" or anything of that. --NoJoe
Pyroflash Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 So, the list is down to 2 planes*.. the 15C and the 18C... *the next DCS: US fixed wing.. Agreed, I would not be disappointed with either. If you aim for the sky, you will never hit the ground.
Agg Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 So, the list is down to 2 planes*.. the 15C and the 18C... *the next DCS: US fixed wing..To be honest, I dont think they're going to make an F-15C anytime soon, it would not be a very nice thing to do to the community. First have us buy FC3 for the updated F-15C and later release a DCS-version of the same aircraft?

Shein Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 I don't mean to shoot anyone's ideas down (no pun intended) but don't forget, when DCS A-10C came out, it had a MUCH nicer and newer F-15E model that they showed off, it was in the trailer, screenshots, hell it was one of the background pictures during the installer! What I'm saying is a new model, I don't think, means anything. What is DCS fixed wing? we have BMS for F16, sevenG for the F18, and both razbam and iris are doing an F15. I think its anyone's guess at this point. I say screw all this fighter nonsense. DCS: RAH-66 Comanche all the way.

Frogisis Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 That F-15 cockpit for me is a hopeful clue... I'd much prefer the 15 since my interest this time around is "epic furballs," but I suppose the 18 can dogfight well, too.

neroroxxx Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Ok, I really hope ED picked the F/A-18C for their fast jet, just the 3D model has us all excited now imaging if it was the next DCS plane!

jazjar Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 I think one of the third party dudes either wanted to have some fun and put a rumor out or slipped, but it wasn't a F-15C. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Pyroflash Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Ok, I really hope ED picked the F/A-18C for their fast jet, just the 3D model has us all excited now imaging if it was the next DCS plane! Yeah, except as nice as the model is, it is still wrong in some areas. If it becomes a DCS aircraft though, I have no doubt that they will fix that up quickly. If you aim for the sky, you will never hit the ground.

What's really funny is,both New 3rd party developers Iris and RAZBAM are going to use that very same DCS F-15E 3D Model because it's so good!! So really that model WAS/IS a major factor in bringing a fully functional StrikeEagle to The DCS Battlefield:thumbup: Patrick
