What do you think? )))

:dunno:

 

I don't know what to believe anymore, i gave up...

[HiJack]

Well, yes, if you're going to release Starr Bumble Bee II or similar modules. For all else with flames shooting out of collective a$$es on take-off one definitely needs a very, very large map :D

:megalol:

[Cornbread]

Confusion abounds.

[Mainstay]

Really nice video !

[Mainstay]

Is this for commercial customers like us or only for proffesional helo academy companies?

[acino]

Absolutely phenomenal.

[159th_Viper]

or only for proffesional helo academy companies?

 

For a specific company only, Concord XXI.

Well the thread started well at least ;) I guess we'll find out how representative of edge those videos are soon enough.

As long as you have a very loose definition of soon. ;)

The material looks pretty similar to the images of EDGE ED has made public so far. I guess it´s a nice approximation / additional showcase of what we might expect short to medium term, but at the same time sad because we might not get all of this. Then again isn´t ED free to release maps from commercial products again for DCS since they own the rights? The only real obstacle is the secrecy concerning military matters, right?

Love the videos - I need to start upgrading my PC again ^^

I think I can udnerstand why ED has kept the lid on this for so long - no telling what kind of speculation coupled with all the expectations this would have broken loose around here...

No, the obstacle is the terms under which both parties entered an agreement, if they prohibit public use (because it may lessen the value of that product for example) we are out of luck.

My take on this is the map will be released alongside the Hornet for a separate fee. My question is would ED have any rights to the map if this http://www.altwolf.com/ company is developing it? Or would it be up to altwolf to give/sell the map to Eagle?

 

Otherwise I'm extremely excited for EDGE and Nevada, even if this fly-through was supposedly running with 3 high ends.

Well, it seems like we're all very curious to the business/political side around Corsica, EDGE, Belsimtek and Eagle Dynamics.

 

The question remains if public relations has ticklish feelings for spreading some unofficial news. At least grant us a nice news article when we only get to replay the video.

Hm, ok - I get that general logic of course, but it´s inhumane and outright cruel.

 

Then again, what´s the specific aspect that would lessen the commercial value of such a product (specifically a map) if it is publicly available?

The army wants a simulator to train their pilots, big companies want to train theirs - they don´t redistribute the simulator, or are themselves offering this training as a service to others in which case it is understandable not to have it freely available.

As I see it, a simulator is more like an acqusition that starts to depricate immediately after being acquired. It´s like machine or a physical tool and apart from military secrets I´m having a hard time imagining why its value would be diminished if it were publicly available.

And on the other hand, if it is available for a greater number of potential customers, ED can stretch their development cost over the projected number of sales and it would in the end be less costly for one party to have this product developed (potentially). For the developers themselves the workload and cost / investment to engineer this stuff stays the same no matter how many people are buying it.

 

EDIT: Or were you referring to a hypothetical contract between Altwolf and ED? In that case it makes much more sense of course.

[159th_Viper]

...or are themselves offering this training as a service to others in which case it is understandable not to have it freely available.

 

This is exactly what is happening, the service Concord XXI is providing.

[upupandaway]

Ah ok, I always thought of these commmercial deals as very localized installations, like for military training at a specific location - with ED offering more or less the whole package. So they just produce a part (software) of a product / service that somebody else is selling in the end. Thx for the clarification.

[HiJack]

I hope Concord XXI will sell the terrain to the public or ED in some way to be released as a additional map for DCS World. I will buy :D

[159th_Viper]

I will buy :D

 

Vrrrroooooooooooooommmmmmmm

 

 

:P

[VanjaB]

What I want to know is, when is the Su-33 module coming? EDGE seems to be a pipe dream right now, and these (confirmed NOT DCS) videos arent helping.

 

Can anyone say vapourware???

I believe it was stated some where EDGE would be here by the end of this year?

 

Everything is Subject to Change.

PLZ I want to be transfared to Corsica, we could fly to Nice or Cannes from there.

NICE! You make MOD?

Without more information about the software/hardware involved, there isn't really much point in getting excited by these videos.
