Badger1-1 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 They wont share any WIP related topics....Its a shame but its their decision... Link to comment
Sryan Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 well, you can discuss them. It's on their roadmap. We just don't need to expect screenshots or much in-depth info from the devs untill the time is right :) Check my F-15C guide Link to comment

CHDT Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I love the Lancaster as an aircraft, but in a sim ? Flying hours and hours, straight without doing nothing.... interesting ? Some kind of dogfight against slumber ! Link to comment
Charly_Owl Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I love the Lancaster as an aircraft, but in a sim ? The sheer workload of flying it is what makes it interesting. There is only one of you to do the task of a pilot, copilot, navigator, bombardier and flight engineer... There are definitely tons of things to do in the Lanc'. 1 Chuck's DCS Tutorial Library Chuck's Guides on Mudspike Chuck's Youtube Channel Chuck's Patreon Link to comment
Silver_Dragon Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 The main problem of a lancaster has not have a multi-engine radial aircraft into DCS: W. Not bad if ED make a light fighter or bomber as guide. The complexity of a four engine aircraft can be interesting to develop (engine control, fuel system, complex multicrew cockpit). Other point to develop the bombing sight system and the bomb bay configurations and respective weapons. Link to comment
Kal-El Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Though there had been an update, sucks. Well back to waiting...... Specs: i7-4790K @4.00 ghz, EVGA 2080ti , 16GB ram, Samsung 512GB SSD x2. Gear: Virpil Alpha stick with Mongoos T-50CM2 throttle, Combat-Pro flight pedals, Track ir 5 & Reverb G2 Link to comment

The Lanc has 4 Merlins - in-line water cooled engines, and has never ever been fitted with radials. Link to comment
G00dnight Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) 300 Lancaster aircraft were built with Bristol mercury radial engines.

NeilWillis Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 OK, then only 300 were ever fitted with radials - we'll still get a Merlin engined variant, and not radials, so where do the radial engines need to be modelled? Link to comment
Badger1-1 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 First DCS needs a better Netcode... Link to comment
Coxy_99 Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 Merlins would be better. Link to comment
Ells228 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 First we need to get a contract for it lol Link to comment
Coxy_99 Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 First we need to get a contract for it lol We have faith :thumbup: Link to comment
Ells228 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Oh so do I or id have given up a long time ago on the whole lot lol Well, more a sense of adventure than faith as I'm that way inclined. Link to comment

If so wouldnt that help with characteristics for twin engined bombers? Link to comment
Silver_Dragon Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I think a A.I. B-17 dont help, require some type of pilot-able module to improve complex engine manager. Link to comment
msalama Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 and has never ever been fitted with radials. The Lanc B.II had Bristol radials IIRC, can't remember the subtype though. EDIT: sniped as always I see ;) The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of. Link to comment
Ells228 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 4 engine model is currently not possible in DCS, we'll be the first if it goes ahead. Link to comment
Coxy_99 Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 4 engine model is currently not possible in DCS, we'll be the first if it goes ahead. What would it involve, I.E Fuel flow, Cut off's, Ignition stuff like that to both engines on each wing? Link to comment
Sryan Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Is ED making an A.I B-17? If so wouldnt that help with characteristics for twin engined bombers? there's already a tupolev 95 'bear' 4 engined bomber ingame. But ai's don't use the complexities players deal with. Check my F-15C guide Link to comment
Mogster Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 This would be a serious sight to behold in VR. Sat high up in the pilot's seat, glancing out over the wings with those 4 Merlins roaring. Hmmm :) Link to comment
