VH-Rock Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 One question I think this might be sort of important..will we be allowed to place runways and camps into the mission editor..of our choice..meaning place remote airfields..and so on..let's say in my case allow to insert a " Ramitelli " airbase in Italy...just wondering...:music_whistling: If there was going to be a map of Italy, it should be there anyway... ;) Virtual Horsemen - Right Wing (P-51) - 2008...

heinkill Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 (edited) Questions about the new DCS WWII title The news thread for this announcement is closed but I guess it is ok to ask a couple of questions? 1. Is the kickstarter funding needed to fund the basic game, or just the extended content? 2. What will be included in the free to pay version, versus the paid content? 3. The emphasis on online play is clear, and the AI ambition also sounds encouraging, will the game feature the usual high quality DCS campaign style and structure? Will there be a campaign for each aircraft, or one campaign in which the user can fly multiple aircraft types? 4. The aircraft listed are the flyable aircraft? 5. Are there any non flyable AI only aircraft planned alongside these? 6. Usual questions about the flyable bombers - will the crew positions be mannable, will players be able to play a coop mission where they man different crew stations on the same aircraft? 7. I know you would be very wary of setting a target date, but as this sim builds on the existing DCS World platform, it can't be five years into the future...any hints on a target release date? 8. Do people who contribute to the kickstarter funding get any considerations regarding premium status eg early access to beta, access to special content, special status online etc 9. That's it, all the best with the project! Edited September 1, 2013 by heinkill Second thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Rudel- Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 ...I admit you guys are not the core audience for this decision. Careful Luthier, just because we post here doesn't mean we are hard core over in IL-2 too. If anything, following Third Wire's install should be a good idea. Both core bin files (folders) can be under one install, and use separate exe to run the time period. This will allow your separate WW2 themed GUI, and be able to use WW2 planes only (If desired). At the same time both cores can read the modules and maps allowing custom missions everyone is hoping for. ED can adjust menu options accordingly and force server setting requirements and display on the server list whether it's WW2 or not. LUA programming is very customizable in DCS and can open a lot of doors for a merged install.

dburne Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 This all sounds very exciting Luthier, Wags! I am really looking forward to the video on Sept 5th, I am sure it will answer a lot of questions. I myself have never contributed to a kickstarter program, however with this I am thinking I very well may make it my first. Sounds like some very good times ahead for us WWII lovers.

cichlidfan Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 P-51D logically. I am not saying you are wrong, but that would be quite something as a freebie complete with a proper period environment to fly it in.

Paradox Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 P-51D logically. P-51D in game mode or something like that, P-51D in sim mode would be getting the DCS P-51 for free which none of us did. I would think that RRG would make a plane that they didn't necessarily have all that much data on, a 'sacrificial lamb' sort of plane, maybe one of the Italian planes for the freebie.

NRG-Vampire Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 (edited) Well if the DCS WWII core items, such as vehicles, buildings, and other systems are not different from DCS World, then I really dont get the decision for 2 installs after all.... yeah, i agree with you Norm and unfortunately i disagree with Ilya... Modules will be mutually compatible. So if you bought say an A6M5 Zero in 2016, or whenever it is we may end up in the Pacific, you could choose to put it into WWII or World. This will however really help people new to DCS, especially WWII fans who don't care for modern jets, to just go and do WWII without worrying about MiG-29s on their tail. This of course also applies to modern aviation fans who just want to fly the Su-25 and not download B-17s. Oh, and since I already left, one more point. Separate installs also allow us to create a separate WWII-themed GUI. It's more important than it seems! WHY ? ...coz i dont understand why Ilya is worry about WWII fans: they just modding more jets into IL2/BOB/COD just like MiG-15/17, F-86, F-4 Phantom and more i say: everything is depends of missions (designers) , doesnt matter SP or MP but if WWII use different GUI will this means DCSW missions wont be readable/usable in DCSWWII and vica versa ? because that's also not a good idea - a different GUI ED BIGGEST and SMARTEST decision was the WORLD: one world, one GUI, "one mission" but with infinite number of different modules in this one world as i always said: ED unite us instead of divide/split us !

*Rage* Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 It could concievably be the P51.

Lord_Pyro Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 ED BIGGEST and SMARTEST decision was the WORLD: one world, one GUI, "one mission" but with infinite number of different modules in this one world as i always said: ED unite us instead of divide us ! Because chances are high that you would see some modern stuff in your missions. Imagine you activate some zivil traffic on the streets and you are seeing a modern truck driving through a tankbattle of tigers vs fireflys. Or even a train loaded with bmps. Just because civilian traffic is not maprelated but hardcoded. With seperated coremodules you would get rid of this. (Note, i don't know if it is actually that way, maybe civ traffic IS maprelated - but it was an example of what could happen) [sIGPIC]http://forums.eagle.ru/signaturepics/sigpic70340_1.gif[/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dooom Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I. Love. This. I had my truck broken into this morning and this news has certainly turned my spirits around. Since we are looking at stretch goals - might I suggest a dedicated server be one of them? WWII really requires some big fur balls and I am dying to see how true engine management will impact a players ability to exploit their plane as well as opponent weaknesses. This is going to be great... And also very likely the first kickstarter I ever step up for. Welcome back Ilya and team!

Mogster Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Maybe it would make sense to make the P51 F2P. Its already raked in plenty of cash, why create another plane that will always be free and never generate any direct revenue. The SU25T wasn't always free after all, it came along with a paid for FC update irc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
