Monthly Newsletter Updates Discussion

[Hans-Joachim Marseille]

The flight model alone will be interesting for Su-27S ! I cant wait! I do think the community was really looking forward to the aspect of a multi-role aircraft and the systems that go along with it. DCSW is deep and daring to go deeper and this leads me to believe it's more to do with whats involved around the F/A-18 to make it ready. As long as we can continue to see the DCSW evolve into the sim we desire to see I have no problem with the change in direction.

Stand-alone games like A-10C and F/A-18C are the backbone of DCS ... the business cards of DCS if you will. DCS: World is the flight enthusiast area, where 3rd party devs come into play.

Business focus should be on the stand-alone games and World engine (EDGE), although I imagine selling the loose modules (from FC3) also yields good results.

I believe it was stated that FC3 is the #1 selling module.

because it's the only way to get fast-movers.

The world brings it into one platform instead of independently running modules. Bringing all the modules into one platform makes multiplayer more inviting and a better effect of immersion which is a strong selling point for ED. Thus the reason for the push of EDGE to get to a dedi-server offering.

So basically, the most important and anticipated point of the whole Friday update was actually posted outside the official update thread? :huh:

 

No probs, just nitpicking...

Gathering news on ED is like being an investigative journalist. You're a fool if you stop digging at the White House press release.

[Rikus]

Any plane that it´s not developed by ED DCS, i don´t want it.

 

MIG21, can´t compete with F18 and FC planes.

And why is that? Your post is useless if you don't explain why!

 

When you say "compete", do you mean aircraft performance against multiplayer competition, or quality and funfactor of the modules?

 

The former does not matter at all to me, but the latter is everything and I'm sure both quality, funfactor and the challenge of learning the aircraft will be great features of the MiG-21bis module.

I too find the latter a rather inflammatory statement ... care to explain why? You obviously don't value the hard work of some enthusiasts here. Or, are you just flaming?

That surprised me but I was referring to the selling of FC3 modules (planes), not the game itself. Edited August 24, 2013 by Hans-Joachim Marseille

Please elaborate. The Mig will be on the level of DCS A-10C. So how would it not be inherently better than an FC aircraft?

 

With regard to the F-18...

 

What F-18? The one that we might see info on in a year or so?

[TurboHog]

The Mig-21, now with it's AFM approaching Beta already outclasses every single FC3 aircraft.

[Hans-Joachim Marseille]

FC3 is a module.

I'll let you win this one, but based on prerequisites FC3 is no stand-alone module in DCS: World in my book ;) Edited August 25, 2013 by Hans-Joachim Marseille

Hahahaha!! Sometimes you just have to let it go. :)

then neither is BS2 Upgrade.

[ALDEGA]

Licensing prerequisites are irrelevant.

If it can't be used without DCS World, it's a module ...

DCS A10C and BS2 being the exceptions, since they're both standalone products (no longer updated) and DCS World modules (still being updated).

Sorry guys, i should explain it better.

 

I mean, MIG21 can compete with F18 DCS in level of detail, as BS or A10.

you mean can't?

 

and if so, how do you know this, if its a dcs title it can very well compete

How can you make such a comparison between a module that has not been released, and another module that has not been released? It's hard to take you seriously, if you keep making posts like that.

No probs, just nitpicking...

 

I find that the gold nuggets of info tend to be from a small comment made in response to someone on the forums, like the Su-25T 3D pit being mentioned before the official announcement. I've learned to use the "Find more posts by" option quite a bit, especially when it comes to Wags.

[nap0leonic]

anyone know how many people actually working at ED?

[Silver_Dragon]

55 crew.

[AlphaOneSix]

55 crew.

Assuming no change in the last 5 years, since that information is from May 2008. But it may very well be close to correct (I actually have no idea).

Ridiculously early Wagdate thread! (08-30-2013)

 

Well folks, It's that time again... Let the speculation begin!

 

EDIT: Apologies if anyone hates these threads.
