svedan Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I think it's a great idea to get the end users involved in the funding of the project. Rather that than having Ubisoft or any other game publisher as the founder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Busutil Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Hi to all - just wanted to comment on the budget. We are adding R & D money from my company to make the F-35 goal. This is great to see! :thumbup: This pretty much say's the Kick starter will be successful. I can't wait to get in an F-35 with some friend's and go mess with some Mig's :D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Checkout my user files here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/?CREATED_BY=Mike%20Busutil&set_filter=Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
159th_Viper Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 This is great to see! :thumbup: This pretty much say's the Kick starter will be successful. You might have misunderstood there. It could mean the funds needed for the project over and above the $75000 goal, not that we'd make up the shortfall to $75000.

Mike Busutil Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) I live in Yuma Arizona, we have the the world’s first operational F-35 squadron here at our Marine Core Air station. I get to see the F-35 flying and practice hovering. :thumbup: Edited July 1, 2013 by Mike Busutil [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Checkout my user files here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/?CREATED_BY=Mike%20Busutil&set_filter=Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pman Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I've pledged my $50 Looking forward to getting stuck into this. Every project has to start somewhere and although Kinny doesnt have experience with DCS its not their first foray into the sim world. I'll give him a chance :) Pman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
311Gryphon Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I don't care what anyone says, I love the contours of the F-35, it's so utilitarian and at the same time crazy sleek. I can't see why people see the ugly in it. I agree with you. This will sound crazy to some people, but I think she's sexier than an F-22.

beaupower32 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Yeah but the B model is a bit like the hunchbacked ugly step-brother The B looks just about like the others except the front and back, which you can notice where the lift fan door is by the bulge is. But from a distance, they are almost impossible to tell apart.

Neor Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 The F-35A is the most beauty plane in the Sky in my opinion! I pledged 100$ I really want this plane for DCS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golo Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 There is a saying - Looks good flyes good. It apply to all planes since lets say Spitfire to Pak FA. F-35 looks ugly. It looks like it has features of many planes - fighter, bomber, attack, stealth... It is Jack of all trades and master of none. And it will fly like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you actually look into what the plane can do, it will surprise you. Everyone is so quick to judge, but not learn. And BTW, alot of pilots here say they would take a F-35 over their other mounts any day of the week. We have pilots who have flown the F-16, F-18, A-10, F-15E. And as I said, they would rather have the F-35, then those. Something to think about....

That seems pretty absolute for a plane that is still in testing and hasn't yet reached it's full patential.

Aginor Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Originally I didn't want to back this, because I doubt that it will reach the level of complexity I prefer (DCS:A-10C), but... I pledged $56 anyway. A popular plane like the F-35 in DCSW will bring players and be good for DCSW, even if it is not as realistic/accurate as others (at least it will be above FC3-level, that's the minimum for me.) I will follow the development as closely as I can and see what will happen. So put these dollars to a good use, Mr. Kinney, I count on you.

Kougar Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Donations Not looking good at reaching the goal of 75K by the deadline unless we have some wealthy people who will make up the shortfall.
