Phantom453 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Good interview. Certainly plenty of work on ED's plate for the immediate future. Some news on Vulkan would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Arrow Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Well, I am quite surprised how they axed all Russian aircraft without any discussion. Isn't there really a way to simulate at least some older designs like Mig-29A 9.11, full fildelity Su-25A or Su-17M4, etc.? There are plenty interesting air-frames, which probably could be negotiated with the government, by not modeling/changing some critical systems, which are secret? Especially the Su-25A, there is really not that much left not modeled to make it a full fidelity module - we have good FM, RSBN/ARK and other subsystems are already modeled in L-39, WCS is modeled, some engine systems are missing and that would be all. I also think it could be hugely popular (well not in the scope as F-16, but does not require that much work) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nessuno0505 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I don't think it's about negotiating with the government, maybe it's more related to their military contracts. Anyway, they said a 3rd party is not bound to this limit and can simulate whatever he is able to, so maybe a mig-29 too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bies Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Nice to hear the hardware for VR is already here and DCS just needs some engine optimisation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously their military customers wouldn't really be interested in giving out detailed data. And it may look like a conflict of interest. Sort of like the A10C is limited in some ways because of the contract. I can imagine Mikoyan or Sukhoi being way more strict on that to the point it doesn't make sense to do. Here's looking forward to the heatblur mig29... New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog. TrackIR, HP Reverb (formermly CV1) Old-N-busted: i7 4720HQ ~3.5GHZ, +32GB DDR3 + Nvidia GTX980m (4GB VRAM) :joystick: TM Warthog. TrackIR, Rift CV1 (yes really).

Zius Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Here's looking forward to the heatblur mig29... +1 :thumbup: *That* would be fantastic! Modules: Bf 109, C-101, CE-II, F-5, Gazelle, Huey, Ka-50, Mi-8, MiG-15, MiG-19, MiG-21, Albatros, Viggen, Mirage 2000, Hornet, Yak-52, FC3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least I hope that community understands its not only about finding a data. Or like some may believe finding a flight manual is enough to program a full fidelity module... It clearly seams that if whichever the authority is that owns the rights to a plane says no, we can forget about having it programmed in DCS - even if all needed materials would be accessible and downloadable from the internet. It's more of an political or copy-right issue. I think we can assume that if a developers are able to get a green light from a company owning rights to the aircraft or whoever has an authority to decide, they cay also get the needed data and materials directly from the source. F/A-18, F-16, F-14, M-2000C, A-10C, AV-8B, AJS-37 Viggen, F-5E-3, F-86F, MiG-21bis, MiG-15bis, L-39 Albatros, C-101 Aviojet, P-51D, Spitfire LF Mk. IX, Bf 109 4-K, UH-1H, Mi-8, Ka-50, NTTR, Normandy, Persian Gulf... and not enough time to fully enjoy it all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
