Dudikoff Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 In FC3 the Frog and Hog get an AFM, 3DOF pit, and new model. The Eagle and Flanker have the pits, and models. So if you have FC3 the only thing you want from the new offerings is the AFM for the Eagle and Flanker. Do I have that right? The A-10A doesn't get the AFM, it seems. Well, if they end up offering a paid FC3 update/upgrade to get the AFM's for the Eagle and the Flanker, don't you end up in about the same place? Yes, I do and I have no problem with that (except that its status is 'maybe'). But, then we have a similar story if the next round of updates come to the modules. So, if they're ditching the FC3 updates (apart from bug fixes) altogether, a more secure solution would be to offer a discount for the upcoming modules to the FC3 owners (don't know if that option is compromised by the fact that FC3 is on sale at the moment). i386DX40@42 MHz w/i387 CP, 4 MB RAM (8*512 kB), Trident 8900C 1 MB w/16-bit RAMDAC ISA, Quantum 340 MB UDMA33, SB 16, DOS 6.22 w/QEMM + Win3.11CE, Quickshot 1btn 2axis, Numpad as hat. 2 FPH on a good day, 1 FPH avg. DISCLAIMER: My posts are still absolutely useless. Just finding excuses not to learn the F-14 (HB's Swansong?). Annoyed by my posts? Please consider donating. Once the target sum is reached, I'll be off to somewhere nice I promise not to post from. I'd buy that for a dollar!
porky_pig Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 I'm playing FC3 for A2A. While it will take a back-seat to an AFM/DCS Eagle in the future, it will still have been played for plenty enough hours to be worth its value. Incidentally, FC3 contains aircraft which are not being offered in new modules right now, so it's not the case that everyone will put FC3 in the trash. Like the Mig-29s' and the Su-33? These aircraft have remain untouched with the exception of the TWS for the 29's for the last 10 years now. I dont see many people clamoring to date the ugly chicks....
GGTharos Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 There are plenty of people who are fans of both ... and they're actually not untouched. Both have had FM reviews and adjustments, as well as some avionics (though the 33 really takes after the 27). The MiG-29's 3D model was changed at some point, IIRC, but I could be wrong. There's a lot more to things than cosmetic changes; they're not that obvious, and perhaps a bunch of people don't really care which wouldn't be surprising, but it's still a chunk of work.

I was referring to mostly visual cosmetic changes, and the TWS mode is one that is clearly visible as an added system change. Other than that, they both look like the dumpy looking blonde sitting all alone in the corner at the bar. Nobody there wouldnt mind a ride with her, but they would rather pursue the cheap, hot redhead sitting at the bar. Point is, is that FC3 will be all but abandoned at this stage. Everyone will be either flying the AFM F-15 or the Su-27, simply because they are sexier...and in this case cheaper.
