SideStrafe Q&A&Combat with Matt 'Wags' Wagner

Recommended Posts

Very much enjoyed the interview! Not sure if there is any new news from it, but it does offer a deeper insight into some of the workings of ED. Also hearing Matt discuss some of the sought out features and attention to addressing known bugs gives confidence in the series going forward. :thumbup:

Very interesting Q&A, thanks Sith for sharing it and thanks Wags for doing it :thumbup:

 

It was actually one of the more interesting Q&As for me, because of all the insight information what's going on behind the curtain. :)

  • it takes about 4 to 6 years to create something on the level of the F/A-18 or the A-10C.
  • about 12 to 18 months to create a warbird.
  • It is hoped to create maps that support every conflict DCS represents.
  • There are hopes for DCS level tanks someday, but not soon.
  • An AH-64 is more likely a case of 'when' rather than a case of 'if'. For now both ED and BST have other priorities though.
  • collidable trees are coming to the updated Caucasus .
  • More multicrew aircraft are coming "it's in the future, it's coming" don't know if this just refers to the F-14 and BO-105, F-4E and Mi-24 or also other stuff.
  • Multicrew is coming to UH-1H and Mi-8MTV2.
  • There are considerations to make the TF-51 multicrew.
  • The updated damage models might one day seep through to ground vehicles.
  • Wags could not answer anything else than "things will change" when asked about multithreading.
  • overwing/LEX vapor for the hornet is on the to-do list.
  • Wags mentions the SLAM-ER, Laser version of the HARM (??? maybe he ment the laser version of the mav?)
  • The sounds for the F/A-18 are coming directly from Boeing.
  • SPJ's (Self protection Jammers) might be coming to all modern aircraft (that have them) rather than just the barrage jammers they have right now.
  • Wags admits the complication, being Russian based, developing full fidelity Russian aircraft.
  • New explosions and new clouds are in the works.
  • Dynamic campaign is more of a "when" rather than an "if". But wags admits not having the staff to do it right now to do it on a level that would meet their expectations.

Later version of the HARM, not Laser.

Besides the fact that anyone could choose that Nickname for MP, I wouldn't be surprised if he actually spent some spare time in this beautiful sim. Or maybe it was work-related and he even got paid for it, who knows. ;)

Sounds just like a gaming community! I can understand that though.

It's still planned, just no news on where it's at right now.

 

Thanks. Good to know.

 

Plus it wasn't one of the questions asked.
