Which ED 'Development' are you most looking forward too?

[nap0leonic]

I want that hifi multirole fighters badly, IMHO dynamic campaign is over rated, well designed semi dynamic one can be easier and faster to create and can actually more immersive.

 

would also like modern graphics engine too

[PelicanPilot]

I would love a modern Multi-role aircraft like the F/A-18 because I can attack ground forces or have a dogfight with someone easily or even both on the same mission.

[Sharpe_95]

What I want the most are "classic" aircraft. While WW2 aircraft are just fine and dandy -- I will buy them, I am thoroughly enjoying the UH-1 and can't wait to get my hands on the MiG-21bis. F-86/MiG-15 will be great. But what I really want most is a full DCS F-4 Phantom, preferably a US Vietnam era variant, but I understand a late F-4E makes more sense given the MiG-21bis and the existence of the AI F-4E.

 

Hi Streakeagle,

Yes I have rather let you down here haven't I :doh:

Sadly there just wasn't room in the poll for this kind of aircraft. In my mind it would have fitted into the HiFi option, but now you have said it I see that both the HiFi and classic options dont really get the job done.

-I shall remedy this with an era specific poll within 24 hours.

Thats such a relative term it bears no meaning in a broad conversation.

 

To many the Fw-190 is the epitome of classic. A true king of the air during the greatest era of aerial combat. To others still the only truly classic air duel could be between a Spitfire and a Bf-109.

 

How can we call the F-4 a more classic aircraft considering it has probably the lowest A2A kills of any US frontline fighter that still produced an ace?

 

I'll tell you why, because you have an irrational emotional attachment to it.

 

I want an F-86 more than most jet planes just because nobody has given Mig Alley much respect since... well Mig Alley.

 

Me, I'm probably not going to buy a WW2 add on until the Bf-109 comes along because... well it has to, HAS TO. That to me is the ultimate classic fighter in all history. Go ask someone else, and they'll flame the forums at the mention of another WW2 plane. :P

[Linx]

F/A-18C. New maps would surely be nice, but since we only have one simulated plane at the moment, it would quickly become just as repetitive as flying over Georgia all the time. DCS needs more planes. :)

[Mnemonic]

DCS Should be much better optimized, things like dramatic FPS drop when looking in the direction of the battlefield which happens beyond your visual range shouldnt happen never ever. Same for the lighting, when turning on one more light source FPS suddenly jumps from 40 to 15 - this shouldn't happen.

 

That's why I think new graphics engine is the first priority. Besides hopefully it will also allow ED to give map development tools to 3rd parties.

[VTJS17_Fire]

First F/A-18C. With that, EDGE (and the other cool stuff) can take one's time, until it's done.

Fire

[Terrorvogel]

One more for EDGE and F-18 is defeated forever...:thumbup:

[IonicRipper]

Can't decide between EDGE and Dynamic Campaign

This poll misses an important option;

Improved stability, reliability and synchronization in multiplayer.

 

To clarify, last night i was flying whit someone on a server, and i did not even see him in the playerlist.

When logging on to said server via teamviewer and looking at the server playerlist he was listed though.

 

Another issue was someones plane warping all over the place.

His ping to the server was 50 and he was apparently sitting still on the apron.

 

And this ofcourse, DCS needs it;

I'm also looking forward to.... Multi-threading!

This person misses the obvious statement made at the start of the poll. Stay on topic and please keep stability 1.2.5 flaming to the many other forum posts.

I didn't miss anything.

 

My opinion was asked, yet instead of using the poll i voiced my opinion trough a reply.

 

And i'm not flaming. Merely stating cold hard facts.

[gavagai]

Graphics are one of the first things I enjoy in a flight sim, but ineffective at sustaining my enjoyment.

 

I voted for the Fw 190 and other "classic" aircraft. But if I heard rumor of an F-16 you might change my vote. ;)

Well if that's the game your playing the poll said pick one of the ten choices. You did miss one of the first lines that said "moving away from 1.2.5/stability".

 

Lets be fair the whole point about stability is starting to get boring. You think there is anyone out there that wants a stable platform more than ED? They dont make money off patches, they know poor performance decreases their reputation and constantly working on bug fixes wastes time, resources and money and takes it away from them developing new content/making money that will make DCSW a better place for us all.

 

Asking to put stability into this poll is pointless as A) its topic of choice atm and obviously most people would pick it. B) Its subjective. Its probably impossible to make the game 100% stable 100% of the time, so who sets what level of stability is acceptable? C) Its like asking you if you want free money - of course you do.

 

Post your issues in the bug pages. If you want to flame ED then do it in this weeks Wagdate or the 1.2.5 patch notes topic and MOVE ON.

Dynamic campaign all the way, the current gfx engine works, but a DC doesn't exist and would be amazing.

As said, i'm not flaming.

Also, there used to be community events like Red Flag and LOCERF

Take a guess as to why i said. USED TO, ie, not anymore.

 

And again, i didn't miss anything. Its an conscious choice to ignore that request.

 

And if ED is really that concerned about stability, etc, how come there's no fruits of there labour?

 

PS, the poll actually just asks for my opinion, it doesn't tell me to make a choice from the poll list, rather it only lists a couple of the possible options;

Which ED 'Development' are you most looking forward too?

[sorcer3r]

If you ask people what are they looking forward to then you should not be surprised if you get their answers. ;)

 

And we can see that stability is important. Especially for the MP communiy. As Falcon says there is not much going on in the mp community.

But we had this discussion about stability already when we had DCS 1.1.1.1.

Our hope was that with DCS world we will get back a stable platform (open beta etc.). Maybe now our hope should be that with EDGE dcs will become stable again.... ?

 

 

B) Its subjective. Its probably impossible to make the game 100% stable 100% of the time, so who sets what level of stability is acceptable?

 

Just look at Blackshark 1 + FC2. They were stable . And also bms is a good example. There will start a PvP campaign soon with about 30(!) registrated squadrons.

[NineLine]

I doubt there is anyone involved in DCS World on any side that doesnt want to see better stability, that said I would say its a given, so lets focus on the poll choices and not making someones thread their personal soapbox, we all get it, really...

[Sharpe_95]

I wonder if todays 'Wagdate' will put a To Be Released Date on any of the above?

[Sharpe_95]

A gentle bump as I am sure we can get more than 173 votes :)

i voted for the new engine. i believe it is an improvement that will have a nice chain reaction effect. this should enable multi threading among other things that could enable a more efficient performance and therefore, adding other features that would add immersion. not to mention the upgraded eye candy.

 

also, i have always felt that until the new engine is released development on other areas is limited. why develop something for engine 1.0 when engine 2.0 is theoretically around the corner.

[Dav IRL]

New engine, the graphics for the objects in the game are really great, especially the planes and pits, but the current terrain level can break immersion, could you imagine how immersive this would be with a truly convincing terrain.

[Scarecrow]

EDGE and all of its edgy goodness. It'll be a crazy week when that's released. :D

[jbrking]

What about the mission editor?

 

The mission editor could be better. A few more triggers etc so I don't have to learn LUA just to make a decent mission? :cry:

[Kim Silva]

Mh, what about all of this till end of 2014 :D
