falcon_120 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 The MP base is quite reduced, there was a poll a while back and only SP users where the majority. Not so hard to believe given that few days you have more than 1k users online, I expect that DCS has selled more than 200K copies otherwise they would be out of business by now.

QuiGon Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 This is for me the most important item missing in DCS. I would pay for it as a module if you decide that is what it takes it to allocate the needed resources for a succesful development. +1 :thumbup: Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

The Jack Posted January 18, 2019 Author Share Posted January 18, 2019 I disagree this should be a paid for module.... A DCG is not a module and should be an integral part of the core game. Just like the mission editor and quick mission generator! If it is in the core game it is something else to widen it's appeal. Thus exposing more to it and then making it possible to generate sales of extra aircraft, maps and other modules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New modules and functionality will probably break things in the DC engine, so you dont just develop it, but you need to maintain this. -To bear this ED need a constant income flow to support these resources, which if it is free will need to come from new modules and new maps which requires a big team -So by keeping it free; which is a valid option and will please many, you basically delay everything (supposing that if its a paid module you can afford the risk of hiring someone else) and once developed you have this resource contantly locked on keeping the DC as clear of bugs as possible. Which i think it might be a nightmare and in turn will mean a lesser quality product for all of us. -and finally but more important for me: heck! 40 dollars(making this number up) is a night out with friends in many countries, you pay it once and enjoy for the rest of your chair piloting years :p.

beppe_goodoldrebel Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 A good compromise could be making it as a part of Combined Arms. Anyway DC is not only about creating an ATO , is about assetts that have to work in a realistic way. Assetts are dependent on era ( WWII , Cold War , Modern ) , countries and vehicles/aircrafts involved ,logistics , how they work in maps... this is a huge task , very much the more demanding task that we possibly see in DCS. Having it bugged and delayed is useless to everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enviado desde mi SM-G950F mediante Tapatalk ED has actually an talent engineer working on them https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3762584&postcount=8 For a long time we've said that a DC was more a matter of when rather than if. It is only until last year that we found a talented engineer to create "war simulation" in which the DC operates. It was only last year that we announced that it is now in development. This is a very high-priority item for us with good progress. However, this is a highly complex undertaking and it will take time, but certainly not "5 years". Once we have interesting and significant news to pass along on this task, we certainly will. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schurem Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I just hope the DC is not just for SP but for MP as well. You know, honestly, if it makes the thing 300% harder to build and balance, I'd say forego MP and focus on a splendid SP experience. If you see what the MP requirement did to a certain spacegame we all know and love (that's built in Cambridge, UK) perhaps focussing on MP above all else might not be such a bright idea.. But that's just my opinion. I5 9600KF, 32GB, 3080ti, G2, PointCTRL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are on a very good track with how things are developing in DCSW already. If they put it out there it would be another plus on top of what we are already getting. They can allocate the funds however they wish, but yeah...another talented member to support the talented engineer would be the likely priority. :D Intel i5-9600K @ 3.7GHz Gigabyte Z370XP SLI Mobo G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 2070 8GB 256-Bit GDDR6(Assume the latest driver version) Thermaltake Water 3.0 Certified Liquid Cooling System Windows 10 Professional Oculus Rift-S /TrackIR 5 in case VR dies Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog w/ Thrustmaster T-Flight Rudder Pedals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ED Team NineLine Posted January 22, 2019 ED Team Share Posted January 22, 2019 I just hope the DC is not just for SP but for MP as well. Multiplayer is key to DCS world, and with the onset of the Dedicated server, options like online dynamic campaigns will be more viable. So yes, the goal is for all aspects of DCS to have dynamic content.
