72westy Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 (edited) Given that FC3 is a simplified version of DCS 2+ it would be nice if the developers would/could adapt a version for either PS4 or Xbox. Could open an added stream of revenue. The hardware of either is certainly capable today. I know quite a few of us have consoles.

Mtnbiker1998 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 (edited) Along with what the others have said, the lack of clickable pits OR a keyboard for the myriad of switches would make it unplayable. And a clickable cockpit wouldn't be much better on a gamepad. I don't think DCS is feasible on consoles without A LOT of simplification.

72westy Posted December 24, 2017 Author Share Posted December 24, 2017 I'm fairly certain that one can use a keyboard and mouse now on the newer Xbox console. I know I have no issue using one thru my Steam link combined with the Steam controller and/or joystick.

QuiGon Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Apart from the problems already mentioned, I don't think a console can handle the simulation of DCS performance wise. It would at least require an awful lot of work to adjust the DCS engine to console requirements -> waste of developer resources. 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!

PeaceSells Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Do consoles even have enough buttons to operate a DCS FC3 plane?

Xenovia Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 No one in the console world would buy it, waste of time and resources that could be spent elsewhere, improving DCS. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
