Snoopy Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I believe that is why he is now on the ED team... He has been an ED tester for over a year, started the same time I did. v303d Fighter Group Discord | Virtual 303d Fighter Group Website | v303rd Fighter Group Twitter Link to comment
Ells228 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Of course it would be great to have in sim VoIP and Tars handles attenuation, distance and line of sight I believe. If a third party is working on it great, I'd rather ED concentrate on what they're great at :) Link to comment
monotwix Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) For the radio equipment to work on board each aircraft, for existing future and modules, one has to imagine a common system. If a 3 party creates that system in 2 years from now, what use is it going to be for the modules released prior that. All those buttons and knobs would have to be reworked to simulate radio equipment, who’s gonna do that? I can’t imagine how easy or hard to create that system but perhaps in 2 years form now some one might think, why didn’t we do that earlier.

Ells228 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Well in theory (and speculating at the moment) the DCS radio functions will be the same for any aircraft, so as long as the VOIP system ties into the common system, there should be no need to change every 3rd party mod. This is my understanding of how TARS works. So an A-10, P-51, Hawk, L-39, Etc. will all use the DCS common radio system, just using different methods. Link to comment

You'll be waiting the rest of your life then! As the Typhoon will be flying in the Georgia/Russia area and potentially Nevada if we are really lucky. You will never get to take it around the Mach loop because there is no plans for a DCS Wales map as far as I know! Sadly the only Mach Looping you or anyone else will be doing is on Flight Sim.

Ells228 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 What makes you say that Mav? There are 3rd party terrain developers out there. However most are likely to make combat environments rather than training grounds I guess. Link to comment
Teapot Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 ;1553001']Sadly the only Mach Looping you or anyone else will be doing is on Flight Sim. or in xplane. However, I echo the original sentiment and agree with you that it will probably never happen for DCS. I just wish that DCS had a global map that can be installed by specific regions via user prefs. Like x-plane. 1 "A true 'sandbox flight sim' requires hi-fidelity flyable non-combat utility/support aircraft." Wishlist Terrains - Bigger maps Wishlist Modules - A variety of utility aircraft to better reflect the support role. E.g. Flying the Hornet ... big yawn ... flying a Caribou on a beer run to Singapore? Count me in. Extracting a Recon Patrol from a hastily prepared landing strip at a random 6 figure grid reference? Now yer talking! Link to comment
104th_Maverick Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 (edited) What makes you say that Mav? There are 3rd party terrain developers out there. I'll put my hands up, I had never heard about this at all! DAMN YOU! Now I'm excited because it's 'possible'! Although as you mentioned it is unlikely but the potential exists and that is truly good news for those of us who have been around the virtual mach loop thousands of times in other sims! *Cough*... Can't wait to take the Typhoon around the mach loop in DCS... Just a dream. :D edit: If you have any influence Chris... LFA14 would be awesome ;) Edited September 17, 2012 by [Maverick] [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 104th Phoenix Wing Commander / Total Poser / Elitist / Hero / Chad www.104thPhoenix.com www.facebook.com/104thPhoenix My YouTube Channel Link to comment

I just wish that DCS had a global map that can be installed by specific regions via user prefs. Like x-plane. Unsure of how X-Plane 10 works, but ideally there would be a global map, with specific regions that are loaded in if you have them installed. Otherwise the terrain would be more or less autogenerated. Still the height maps would have to be pretty constant between each player, considering that some players may not have the high definition terrain installed on their machine. That is, of course, to say nothing of buildings or trees. If you aim for the sky, you will never hit the ground. Link to comment
Ells228 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I think given time, people or teams will release different terrain maps and who knows in the future, you may be able to fly in them joined up some way. I guess EDGE was maybe designed for futureproofing that concept. Just my own hopes. Link to comment
Tango Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Here's an idea: model the entire world, but flat. Have the continents in the correct places, oceans etc.., but no detail (maybe some generic grass texture). If people want to do a terrain region - add the relief data in a Lat/Lon box format, with detailed textures as it is now? You read it here first. ;) It seems that idea may already exist.... if you fly off the map you just get flat, green textures. Best regards, Tango. Link to comment
aaron886 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Not a very enticing prospect, to me, a flat world. Have a method for people to "fill out" desired areas with detail as 3rd party projects, just like every other simulator with world scenery. Don't do it without the proper mechanism. ED folks are not stupid... if/when they have the resources they will start to attack features in popular demand. World scenery is a benchmark item that other "everything simulators" tend to boast. If you ask me it's a matter of time before ED joins that list. Conceptually, they've got an excellent start to the most complete flight simulator ever designed... they just need time. Link to comment
Grimes Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I'd rather have a world that supports curvature of the Earth in detailed bits and pieces than to have the entire thing flattened out. The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.

monotwix Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 Einstein thought of that as well as time. The Idea of free development is tricky because of copy right, but the tools… Remember the tile proxy? Now the idea of payware tools from which all parties could benefit isn’t so ridiculous. Google has a lot of data. I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully. Link to comment
