gavagai Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Ilya, you have a compelling explanation of why flight sims are not more popular. I'm curious to see what these trainings will be like in DCS WW2.

joey45 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Helping to reboot the Flight Sim genre.... I'm all for it. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Geronimo989 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I think the big problem of todays sims is that the "game" element is missing. You get excellent simulation of aircraft and its systems, but you are left with not much to do with it. Fine example of a good game I played recently is Euro Truck Simulator 2. You may say "what the hell is fun in driving a truck in a game?". That's exactly what I thought when I first heard about the game. But it is surprisingly addictive because it has a sandbox campaign where you start working for other companies, then you create your company and drive your own truck, and later you can hire other drivers and buy them trucks to work for you. Both DCS and CloD don't have much in it except for the simulation itself. The campaigns in both games are lacking. Rise of flight has some sort of dynamic campaign, but it is somehow bland and cant compare to lets say Red Baron 2. Old IL--2 had DGEN which was fun for a while but could be done better. I think that by working on interesting dynamic campaign, with different pilots flying in your squadron, awards, promotions, demotions, etc, you can bring in more players to the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
