Battis Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Last weekend(June 16-17), there was a ”100th year Anniversary” airshow at Tikkakoski, Finland. Aircraft from biplane kites onwards were stretching their wings. To name a few, Christen Eagle, Fouga Magister, Draken, The Midnight Hawks FiAF display team, Hornet, Super Hornet, Grippen, Rafale and Typhoon were making terrific noise. F35 mockup(pit access) was there as well. FiAF is currently asking for bids for a replacement to the aging Hornets. Runners up are Grippen, Rafale, F35, Typhoon and SuperBug. An Expeditionary Force of DCS Finland was attending with a sim-booth in a corner of a tent. Armed with a DCS Hornet, Warthog Hotas and Vive Pro VR set. HUGE turnout!!! Needless to say, lots of kids but also mums and dads were lining up to have a go. Looks on some of their faces when they took of the headset....PRICELESS!!! Praising words also from FiAF cadets/active pilots and French Rafale display pilots. Again, thank you for the absolute best consumer flight sim in the world! i9-9900K 4,9Ghz, 2080ti, 32Gb, 1Gb m.2, Index, WinWing throttle, Baur BRD-N, Crosswind pedals, Orbwiever and tm mfd`s, all in a Hornet simpit.

Goa Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 All of this just make me think about the huge potential that ED have in their hands and the poor/lack of a proper promoting team of their product around the globe. Jiut think how many people/kids/passionate people would buy DCS if they are aware of its existance. Just my 2 cents :) CPU : Intel i7 8700k@5.0ghz cooled by Noctua NH-D15 / Motherboard:Asorck Z370 Taichi / RAM: 32GB GSkill TridentZ @3600mhz / SSD: 500GB Nvme Samsung 970 evo+1 TB Sabrent Nvme M2 / GPU:Asus Strix OC 2080TI / Monitor: LG 34KG950F Ultrawide / Trackir 5 proclip/ VIRPIL CM2 BASE + CM2 GRIP + F148 GRIP + 200M EXTENSION /VKB T-Rudder MKIV rudder /Case: Fractal Design R6 Define black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiut think how many people/kids/passionate people would buy DCS if they are aware of its existance. Just my 2 cents :) That’s just it! We had virtually no promotional material, no flags, banners, signs, etc. A tiny leaflet of DCS Finland of witch we ran out fast. Just a crowd, attracting more and more and.... i9-9900K 4,9Ghz, 2080ti, 32Gb, 1Gb m.2, Index, WinWing throttle, Baur BRD-N, Crosswind pedals, Orbwiever and tm mfd`s, all in a Hornet simpit.

Vitormouraa Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Thanks ED for a great sim! That video is absolutely gold! Thank you so much for sharing. Difference between what LOMAC and DCS 1.1 used to be and what DCS is nowadays is clear how the company evolved and worked so hard to be where it is now. Really proud of DCS and Eagle Dynamics. Thank you for making the best combat sim out there (Once again). SplashOneGaming Discord https://splashonegaming.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc_neo Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I actually think ED is doing fine promotion wise! More probably means catering to a catch all audience which might eventually dilute the realism aspect of DCS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a crowd, attracting more and more and.... if you look at it on the flip side, maybe you don't need banners or signs. when it's this good, the stuff practically sells itself.
