Mainstay Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 (edited) I thought the interview was nice but next time ask questions and let the man answer because i dont care about the interviewers personal opinion. Also there was not a single question about red aircraft in the pipeline.... Edited August 2, 2020 by Mainstay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Author of DSMC, mod to enable scenario persistency and save updated miz file Stable version & site: https://dsmcfordcs.wordpress.com/ Openbeta: https://github.com/Chromium18/DSMC The thing is, helicopters are different from planes. An airplane by it's nature wants to fly, and if not interfered with too strongly by unusual events or by a deliberately incompetent pilot, it will fly. A helicopter does not want to fly. It is maintained in the air by a variety of forces in opposition to each other, and if there is any disturbance in this delicate balance the helicopter stops flying; immediately and disastrously.

evilnate Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 AH-64 to be announced on Q4 2020? I was happy (and surprised) to hear this too. The longbow i has been a export for a while so I hope that’s the variant announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil 505 Posted August 2, 2020 Author Share Posted August 2, 2020 (edited) They said Napalm is not out of the question, not not in the pipeline right now. The programming and creation of the jelly/fire will take some time and there was ethical issues as to if it should be implemented or not. But then the question was also raised, is any bomb dropped on someone ethical. At the end of the day they said the historical nature of the sim is what is important and this will probably see its way eventually to DCS. My guess is, the closer we get to DCS Vietnam and maybe the F-4. And there were specifics in the interview about the Apache being an "A: model. The Longbow is still to hard to get all info on right now. Sounds like the A model is already underway. Another interesting note is the Mosquito having an AI Navigator. And red forces were talked about, they are considering the Fulcrum A model as well. Edited August 2, 2020 by robert.clark251 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHPL Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 AH-64 to be announced on Q4 2020? As far as I understand, nobody said anything about an AH64 in 2020 :( They just say it will come sometime in the future, that's all. Them Mi-24 and the Kiowa may come in 2020, and I am happy about this, but after that .... Next in line may be the BO-105, not expected before the End of 2023 or 2024. Always happy landings ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too: that is why I was asking for. There are some info in the past and recently that maybe could lead toward the apache as the "eagerly awaited module", but no confirmation yet.

VanekK30 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 For those who don't have the time to go though the whole thing, the probably most important "nuggets": I might type this out later on so it's easier to read, initially I just took notes for myself, but I thought I could just share them Where does the information about the MiG-29A come from?

Fri13 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 I've stopped listening to the interview when the Grim Reapers guy said right at the beginning that until 5-6 years ago DCS was only a video game..... Personally I don't like the interrupting interviews, where person loves more their voice so a interviewed can't get to answer to what is asked. And then when interviewers makes personal notes etc all the times, it just starts to get annoying with all leading questions etc. i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.

Devil 505 Posted August 3, 2020 Author Share Posted August 3, 2020 As far as the AH-64 Apache goes, Simon said expect to hear something about it from Wags 4th quarter. There was no mention in the interview of a release this year. This was regarding the Alpha model to be specific. My guess would be a teaser trailer similar to the Viper or maybe a full blown reveal of the helo as an upcoming module. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeeSPIKE Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Yeah I'm lost as to why FFB went away. I've had it in racing wheels, but never a joystick. With the price of high end sticks, and the community willing to pay for them I don't see why someone doesn't make them. Three things, really boiled down: Niche market inside of a niche market. FFB requires developer support, unlike most other controllers. There is a LONG LONG history of shenanigans with the licensing of FFB technology that makes it difficult to get into.

Ravenus Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Please ED. F4 E and F4 J Phantom. Obviously Phantom everything isn´t feasible. These stated aircraft match well with the current planeset for REDFOR in DCS, being Mig 19- Mig 21 Bis and the upcoming mig 23 MLA (sort of ) Also with the F8J coming in as well , we are looking at mostly post 1968 jets.

flyingscotsman Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Thanks CAP and Grim Reapers, I enjoyed the interview/chat, it was informative, and THAT's what I liked. No Tornado....with an Ex Tornado pilot there....gutted. Apache and AH-1 if I heard that right...brilliant. Lot of good stuff and I liked it when the guy admitted, I don't know the answer, honesty is the best. Keep it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longreater Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 I've stopped listening to the interview when the Grim Reapers guy said right at the beginning that until 5-6 years ago DCS was only a video game..... Surely it is just referring to the Flight Model fidelity in relation to itself? A bit of introspection. I have been playing since "Lock On - Modern Air Combat" so I can see that broad-brush description of the title's evolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VirusAM Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 (edited) Greatest interview with ED 7/31 Surely it is just referring to the Flight Model fidelity in relation to itself? A bit of introspection. I have been playing since "Lock On - Modern Air Combat" so I can see that broad-brush description of the title's evolution. He was just referring to the fact that 5/6 years ago DCS didn’t have all this attention.. He was not talking about realism, flight or system modelling. He also said that he approached it back then as a game but now the player base increased by a magnitude and that changed. Also now ED has a lot of requests from the militaries thanks to DCS. So maybe he did use some wrong words (game instead of simulator...but come on...yes it is a simulator, but also a computer game in the end) but the concept he is saying is correct.

Raven68 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 While it’s nice to listen to these interviews, I can say with confidence they (grim reapers) do not speak for the majority of DCS multiplayer community. I’ve flown with multiple squadrons over the years and statements like “nobody wants to be a RIO” is 100% false. I hope ED is not taking all of their statements as facts. I just noticed this thread and could not agree more with this statement. Also the statements made about controllable bombers having no value or return seems to be narrow in vision as well.
