blkspade Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 Well that statement is mostly contrary to bulk of my post. I understand my use of the word "stuff" is vague if one chooses to ignore the context with which is it attached. I do mean more than stuff to click on. Seeing as the the warthog doesn't carry HARMs or have an arrestor hook, or "go fast" while having an AFM, it doesn't really address what I spoke of. And really, falcon... Then DCS A10C or FBMS await you. As stated in my first post, I know these things won't be a part of FC. I still enjoy FC3 overall, aside from the current bugs. It just irks me to no end when a number of things don't behave the way they are supposed to and the reasoning is SFM limitation. Then these things either stay broken, or maybe eventually an SFM 'band-aid' is applied. What Mower said, or wait for a DCS version of the F-15C. Who knows, maybe it'll be the next flyable! But there are already two F-15E's on the way as well. In any case, don't expect AFM on FC aircraft. It's just not going to happen. http://104thphoenix.com/
EtherealN Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 I mostly fly the F-15 so I appreciate the cockpit upgrade on some level, but I personally care more for function over aesthetics. [...] I'd trade in a pretty cockpit for being able to actually do more stuff. This is all very obvious, but: you do realize that it's not the same person that does 3D models as develops flight models or programs avionics, right? It is entirely possible to have a period of extra resources in one department but not the other, leading to the ability to implement what might be lower down on the wish list but not the things on the top.

Cali Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 Cool, see you out there! :) No you won't, he doesn't fly online in public servers. Haven't seen you since the early years of Lomac GG, loved the missions you guys had. Personally, if anyone's played DCS:A10C first then I wouldn't advise them to try FBMS it would hurt their eyes aswell as being a let down as a poor second place in the avionic simulation, unless ofcourse you've got a lot of spare time on your hands that you're willing to waste learning an older concept and are well prepared for that feeling of 'if only I could do it like I do in DCSA10'. With that said the dynamic campaign can be fun even if a bit Hollywood. This is wrong, I've played both and I have just as much fun in BMS as I would in DCS. Yes, the graphics aren't as good, but other things are. Mp air refueling works great, the DC is awesome...which you can also do in mp, not just sp. Very nice looking pit and learning the avionics is a pita, but you will have to learn them when the DCS fighter comes out. You don't need a super computer to run it either. i7-4820k @ 3.7, Windows 7 64-bit, 16GB 1866mhz EVGA GTX 970 2GB, 256GB SSD, 500GB WD, TM Warthog, TM Cougar MFD's, Saitek Combat Pedals, TrackIR 5, G15 keyboard, 55" 4K LED

Also, the DC in multiplayer allows for events like Battle for Sinai or Red Flag which are 24/7 dynamic campaigns which last around 20-26 days with both real pilots and AI flying on both sides of the conflict supporting the ground war effort. Personally I would love if DCS had such an option. Dynamic large scale conflicts with plenty of pilots online is my dream for DCS... 1

Wolf One Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 I suppose that at the quantum level ultimately everything is discrete and scripted. The uncertainty may be about the current state of the theory. While I find discussions of missile dynamics not just informative, but educational as well, I am not sure how much of that is implemented in FC3, such as lofting. No target step, and reports of aircraft being neutered, is unfortunate. Surprisingly, and it is with heavy feeling, conflict and much personal disdain, that at times I still find myself compelled to consult elsewhere for more advanced air to air operations at present.

almonds Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 Where and what sims please? minecraft "The art of simulation design is about understanding limited fidelity... ...compromises must be made. Designers have to consider cost vs. fidelity and processor time vs. fidelity. Additional trade-offs must be made between graphics, AI, flight models, number of units and more... ...never ask the pilot what he wants to learn because he too will end up building an airplane. Instead, ask the pilot what he needs to learn." -Gilman "Chopstick" Louie
