The current version:

DCS v1.2

Outerra v0.7

Prepar3D v1.4

 

What do you think?

DCS v2+

Outerra v2+

Prepar3D v2+

 

I am not sure what the point is but I would bet on Prepar3d getting to 2.0 first, FWIW.

 

But, what has Outerra to do with anything...it isn't a sim. It is an interesting project that might be useful one day.

All have global map except DCS (it even uses flat coordinate system)!

I think this is a weakness. :(

Why anyone should win? It's a fanboy contest?

 

I have four sims on my computer at the moment (FSX, BMS, ROF and DCS), each does different things and can't replace other.

 

The more the merrier.

DCS: Graphic engine and simulator Centered on Military, profesional products and entretainment

Outerra: Graphic engine only, no derivate products

Prepart 3D: Graphic engine centered on profesional products and Training, not centered on entretaiment market only by some old FSX companies migrate to them.

 

A very bad Poll.

As far as I can tell, that is not true. :)

 

It is. DCS may have an LL and MGRS coordinate system, but it is not geo-referenced. It is instead based upon a single, flat plane, as if it were the year 1500 and the world was still flat.

If you aim for the sky, you will never hit the ground.

Win what?

 

Since DCS already is working sim it wins.

I will keep my HOTAS thankyou. Those keyboard commands will map to it quite nicely.

You proberly miss my sarcasm!

DCS Light FC3

And do you ever try to play only whit keyboard ?

It is a no can do.

FC3 who will need it?

A light verion of the rest of DCS modules?

And later on all 3:rd party projects.

 

Edit:If i will buy it?, yes, just for supporting dcs not because i like it.

Actually, everyone knew (at least, everyone "educated" at the time knew) that the Earth was round in 1500 AD. The ancient Greeks (Erastosthenes)had even measured the circumference of the Earth (in like, a few hundred B.C.) to within a few percent accuracy. Also, the ancients weren't stupid- they figured out that it was the shadow of the Earth on the moon during Lunar eclipses- guess what- the shadow is round.

 

Christopher Columbus for some reason argued that the ancient Greeks had overestimated the value for the circumference of the earth and that a voyage west to get to the Orient would be practical.

 

But yes, returning to topic- DCS uses a flat geometry (gnomonic projection, I believe). You have no idea (or maybe you do) how much this simplifies all sorts of calculations. The size of the detailed DCS terrain is much smaller than the size where the projection starts to cause a problem.

Yes, I understand, I was simply trying to point out that DCS was flat, ignoring why this is, in some ways a good thing.

They're all different target audiences and they're all not mutually exclusive, so all win. The only thing the unscientific poll shows is a predictable bias towards the sim this forum centers around.

DCS DID get to v2.0, manifested in BS2.0 :D

AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS

 

Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.
