DCS F-35A

imo f35 is only good as a AI aircraft.

 

most of the systems onboard will be highly classified, so I don't see how it will work as a fully flyable?. not unless Lockheed make a deal with the developer to release so much information for the project.

*sigh*

find it really funny how some of those on IL2 Stumovik mod section contributed money to some Russian WWII bombers and straight to the guys bank account in Russia..

No Kickstarter back then, And the guy pulled it off made the dam plane in one year..

here is s second project..not from the same guy. I look at SIM HQ I think that's where that one started.

found it

you Know what this reminds me too. Wags ok'ed BelSimtech, and no one demanded proof from him...:thumbup:

So those people throwing stones.. Stop posting BS your wasting my time researching the internet....Show proof if your going to spout gibberish..

I have not found any.. If Wags had him sign a 3rd party release form. I'm sure they looked him up.. I hope...:pilotfly:

Just as a note on this, which shouldnt be taken as support to all this fear mongering going on here right now, but just as a point of interest. I wanted to do a 3D model for the JLTV that Lockheed is producing, so for the heck of it I emailed Lockheed and asked if they had any basic 3 view drawings they could share, nothing with any top secret details or anything crazy like that, just basic drawings to be able to make a decent model.

 

I was told no due to competitive reasons. Of course I am just joe blow of the street, I have no relationship with Lockheed at all, but found it interesting with all this hub bub over the F-35 and getting info out of Lockheed.

Most companies will not share their models and/or drawings with anyone. Some will only to the extent that it helps the consumer determine which particular model or product best fits their uses (basic dimensions and capabilities). I doubt Lockheed would give their drawings to anyone who doesn't work for or have a NDA on file.

I for one, very hopeful; as I pledged $250.00 for the kick starter and wish them well.. :thumbup:

How does the Kickstarter work if the goal isn't reached? If the campaign doesn't make it's goal does the money get reimbursed or do they have the option to make do with what they have?

no the money you pledge never leaves your account.

Money is only pledged, no money changes hands unless the goal is met.

Wow!

I've worked with Dave Kinney, I know him, I trust him, and he is a fellow Marine.

I have only learned about the F-35 DCS project recently and while I am confident that there are challenges, I have confidence in Dave and his crew as I have worked with him on a project before.

I've been out of the commercial entertainment flight sim business for awhile since Lock On shipped and I have to say, looking at some of the comments on this forum, that nothing really seems to have changed. The majority of flight sim users are decent, respectful, and enthusiastic. They are the ones that make it a pleasure to work hard to produce a product. Do the math and figure out the percentage of the total number of users flying DCS products, or even all combat flight sims, and compare the total to the number of users participating here and on other forums. If you don't have confidence, don't like the decisions being made, don't like the choice of aircraft, whatever...then don't buy it.

But, as in most things in life, there are the naysayers, the nitpickers, the critics. You guys are entitled to your opinions, feelings, doubts, whatever. But to accuse someone of being a scam or a liar without any proof is complete horseshit. I know for a fact that Dave Kinney served in the Air Force and then in both the Navy and the Marine Corps. Shame on those of you who accuse him of lying about his service. I understand that some jackass is saying he can't find a record of Dave working on the F-22 or the B-2. Well, no kidding, do you have access to all the personnel records? Besides, he was also a contractor. He is a fellow Marine and, frankly, I trust him more than just about anyone else that hasn't worn the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor. Those of you making fraud allegations, let's see your credentials.

Many of you "critics" don't know jack about making a flight sim or running a business. Go ahead and share your opinions, but take a look at some of the things you are saying, really.

As I was saying to Wags earlier today, there are things I really miss about making commercial flight sims and there are definitely things I don't miss.

Had I known about the KS effort earlier I would have put in my money.

As it is, the project will continue without the KS funds, great, I wish Dave, his crew, the folks at ED all the very best.

I look forward to judging the F-35 DCS product on its merits and will pay cash for my copy.

Semper Fidelis,

Carl C. Norman

There's Some F-35 in DCSW Images here: (Dunno if they are Kinney's)
