The May 31st Update Discussion Thread!


Recommended Posts

Its nice that they are updating some old models, but I hope ED would priortize...there are way worse models lingering from the flanker 2.5 era...ships and aircraft that need work. Also...I think the F18 still doesn't have a damage model yet.

Yes, when releasing a fighter-oriented product missiles are out of scope... ;)

I didn't mean they are out of scope. I meant they were still pretty good. Infact the missiles were updated during the early FC series and still look amazing....compared to the Kuz carrier and bunch of older planes. But well.. I understand each has its on dev time.

Missiles are relatively easy and quick compared to some of the other models.

I can see the point of updating the visual models of the missles. It looks kind of of odd when you have outdated looking missle models attached to new aircraft models. On the other, I have to agree with Witchking that some of the aircraft are very, very outdated. One plane that comes to mind is the C-5 (or the C-17) ... can't remember exactly. When I saw that, I thought, what is that doing in the same universe as the gorgeous E-3 or KC-135?

This model was originally created for ED purposes, but unfortunately we were unable to find a compromise on the issue of transfer exclusive Rights on this model.

The picture of the U.S. Air Force C-17 is incredible! I have trouble believing it's a computer model. I wouldn't expect anything that high fidelity in DCS. But the quality of the Canadian air force C-17 is something I would certainly like to see. Just something somewhere in the middle of my wish list.

Wow, I frequently fly solo with little other traffic in the air so I usually don't care what other planes look like, but that C-17 looks like something out of Flanker 2.0.

 

Wonder what happened behind the scenes on why this newere model wasn't used. It looks stunning and I'm sure the time spent integrating it into DCS to look so nice took quite a bit of time.

 

there's a few models over the last 5 years that didnt make it, IIRC.

I am sure there is a fine line between what an artist feels their model is worth and what a developer like ED can afford to pay in the grand scheme of over all development.... but I have no clue....

No clue, all that lawyer licensing mumbo jumbo scares me :)

 

But yes, great looking models on their site... makes me look at my Me 109-G and think.... still needs more work :)

Lol, if I had time, I'd be building quickie 10,000 or so Poly models to replace some of these AI models... cuz some of them are down right grandfather models.
