The big wish priority poll

Other:

New Damage Model + Dynamic campaign.

New modules are nice, but the above two are important, the former at least should be nearly upon us.

Complete modules would be a priority for many people. Too many modules are in beta ....

Finish the modules... tie up the Hornet coder/engineer to his desk, threaten him, give him ultimatums:D

I voted finish the modules. They are way to long unfinished :(

voted to prioritize Vulkan implementation - everyone benefits of it and it´s needed to optimize VR performance in particular.

pools

Complete existing models should be a priority to 3rd partys and then the others next on the pool. More pools like these should be done.:thumbup:

Other:

Finish new weather model

Improve A-A missile simulations

Simulate ground vehicles, especially damage model

Update older models

Finish ongoing projects first

Improve NetCode

and last but not least: Fix core issues......

AI is a big one for me since I fly mostly SP.

On that same note, improved comms and ATC logic are a close second. But as we know that is in the pipeline...

And the A-10C refresh. :smilewink:

Is a dynamic campaign really priority if the AI standard is low and you can't even spot it properly (visibility) in WVR though?

 

IMO the lack of dynamic campaign is not "game breaking" like visibility or too simplified AI flight models and super detection abilities can be.

 

Vulkan could also improve performances for many people too, bringing potentially more customers as well, the kind of people who did not have a very powerful computer like most of us have to run DCS online smoothly.

you are absolutely right

I stopped playing with this wonderful and potentially fabulous game for these 3 reasons

1 poor AI

2 visibility model

3 dynamic stuff absent

Finish modules. I would rather see a completed F-18 than anything else.

beta??? most of them are still early access :lol:

In my opinion the no1 priority should be completing the existing modules! ED and 3rd parties. Years passed since some of them were first released till today

F18C: ~ 1.5 year

Harrier: ~ 1.5 years

Viggen: ~ 2 years

etc

:megalol::megalol: :thumbup:

i guess because non-VR users don't have any performance issues. And they are the vast majority :)

They won't be in a few years IMO.

While ED is about it, could I get a grease pen to take notes/draw some reference lines on my canopy? Maybe a good kneeboard (not a pop up) as well.

By looking at the poll results, I'm relieved that the DCS community is way more mature and pragmatic than I thought :worthy:

[X] Other -> A2A spotting improvement

I voted for Vulcan as I understand it as a "VR (not only VR) performance improvement",

but fully agree, that bugs are pain; one can put [REPORTED] into search and gets long list, way long...

sad view :-(

Complete all existing modules first and foremost, including the Yak-52.

Complete all existing modules first and foremost, including the Yak-52.

Yes that thing is probably one of the most simplest modules out there systems wise

For me its the Weather that needs the most help: Here's why...

to start just a vertical weather physics model would do wonders: with wet/dry/standard lapse rates, ground heating we could get procedurally generated stratus clouds, mutliple layers of clouds, rain, virga, hail, icing, cumulus clouds, towering cumulus, anvils, cirrus, a mix of the above. We would alos get inversion layers, wind shears, procedurally generated vapor effects of aircraft based on this alone - this would of course let you generate vapor shock cones dynamically.

just imagine flying in missions with towering cumulus clouds with in inbedded weather, rain under them, all the while the sun shining and making shadows and dark areas. Or fog.

just with a basic vertical model not even a weather system model you could do all that. it would change the core of the sim, and in an amazing way. No one would ever go anywhere else to fly in a sim.

Devs, get it started! small steps and keep building it up. This will solve issues with the current puff ball clouds, vapor effects on aircraft and the need to make the atmosphere a real world sim, not what we have now - which is great and all but its like flying in test all the time.

the winds are weak, turbulence is low level only, rain is weak, clouds are. well lets not comment there, humidity is not even around at all! due point? what is that... the creation of a vertical weather model as a base to weather in general would be a game changer. I hope that this gets addressed soon as it affects every single player in the sim. sim people are used to not even dealing with weather and imo have grown accustomed to not having it around, and do not know what they are missing out on. If DCS makes a decent vertical weather model, it would out shine any other effort. All the aircraft would be much more exciting to fly, all the maps would be as well, everything would get a new experience. Imo things - issues that affect everything in the sim should take priority to the few [modules, maps, Ai modules, vehicles, ships, missiles & bombs etc.]

Completed modules would be great, why and more modules and spread yourself thin.

Voted to "complete existing modules" and for me that would include the new looooong awaited damage model.

It is absurd that so few people have not chosen Vulkan, perhaps not many use vr. Guys vr is the future, wake up!

Without good IA, you are forced to play PvP. I believe its the Main drawback of DCS right now.

This big wish priority poll could be renamed The big reality delays table (units in months) :hehe:
