I wonder if the swastika on the tail of that Fw-190 will still be there on release...

 

 

Not a chance!

 

 

Someone will have to make a mod.

 

 

And . . . . .this has been gone over many, many, many times as to the reason so I hope we are not going there again.

If it is historically accurate then it must stay. If that offends someone, too bad.

It is not about offending someone, it is about German law. You have been around here long enough to know that.

Actually I forgot that. I will reserve comment further on my opinion of that law. Carry on.

Didn't they reverse that rule recently? I recall historically correct depictions have been said not to be a problem anymore?

Afaik it was never a problem in a historical context. I.e. historical photographies etc. But nothing in DCS is historical, it is a product of the year 20xx. Especially when considering the maps and missions the aircraft fly here - that is not really an historical accurate reenactment.:smartass:

Another thread down the tubes by a poster not taking the time to research through this forum before asking a well discussed question.

 

 

By the way, there are many folks alive who take great umbrance from this emblem having lived during the time of its activity, if not their parents. We are not all 20-40 somthing flying DCS.

 

 

Like I said, find a mod for it.

I don't know if it was aimed at me, but in case it was, please explained which well discussed question I asked?

Too many weirdos in world unfortunately. Historical accuracy yes, but the problem is that this can be abused to glorify National Socialism by some people. By a minority (I hope/think) but I reckon this would still be a battle that ED does not want to pick. They can spend their time more efficiently by improving the software rather than fighting unnecessary law suits.

As was said, there are still mods which you can install. But that would not be in ED's responsibility.

I know why sim devs don't put swastikas in their games. I don't need an explanation, I'm not trying to challenge that either. I don't want a discussion on the matter, I realise it's pointless. What I'm asking about - there were never swastikas in DCS before and now there is one in the development screenshots. Why? Is this a change of policy on ED's part or will it be removed by release?

That is a good question indeed. I was just giving my opinion on that. And my opinion might well be wrong.

Edit: If they include this for countries like Germany, they risk to run into big trouble. That's what I was trying to say.

Lke it :) You guys did very well in 2018 and we still have a couple of days left - hopefully with a new DCS version 2.5.4 if things go to plan.

Thanks from my side and happy holidays! Looking forward to 2019...
