ED Team Wags Posted June 11, 2012 ED Team Share Posted June 11, 2012 (edited) DCS stands for “Digital Combat Simulator”. DCS is a world simulation engine permitting the user to operate or direct a growing number of combat and civilian aircraft, ground vehicles and ships, from different historical eras, in different geographical locations and at different levels of fidelity. It is a true "sand box" simulation. DCS started with the Ka-50 and A-10C, but has recently grown to also include the P-51D Mustang and, with Combined Arms, a ground command and control tactical warfare component. Future products from The Fighter Collection and Eagle Dynamics in the DCS line are in development and will includes partner products like the UH-1H "Huey", MiG-21bis "Fishbed", T-2 "Buckeye", BAE "Hawk", and Mi-8MT-V2 "Hip". The overall "simulation operating system" is termed DCS World and is a free program that includes a free Su-25T for the player to fly. All DCS products will plug into DCS World as unique modules within the same software installation. DCS products will not be limited to aircraft, but will include maps, missions, campaigns, environment objects, weapons, vehicles and ships. We even hope to look into a train simulation component in the future! Partner products to DCS are supported by ED and there are already several qualified 3rd party teams creating new aircraft that will plug into DCS World. In these cases we leave it up to the developer to decide the level of systems fidelity, but we do expect certain "DCS Standards" to be maintained such as detailed and accurate models and cockpits with 6 DOF view control. We are also developing "DCS Flaming Cliffs" titles as modules for DCS. These aircraft include highly detailed models, 6 DOF capable cockpits, and advanced flight models. However, they have the same level of cockpit functionality as our Lock On series (a less complex and shallower learning curve).

Regarding the train...thats interesting ... could be a funny penalty for team killing to provide supply for a warehouse by train :D So much cooler than the sandbox with banana song in old Arma times. 4790K@4,6Ghz | EVGA Z97 Classified | 32GB @ 2400Mhz | Titan X hydro copper| SSD 850 PRO ____________________________________ Moments in DCS: --> https://www.youtube.com/user/weltensegLA --> WELD's cockpit: --> http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=92274 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hornet85 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) LOL @ Train Sim :P Well, in all seriousness, have you guys considered making military ground vehicle sims? Say, a M-1 Abrams tank simulator for example, or the Bradley Fighting Vehicle. It can even be further expanded to include classical WW2 tanks! There are many video games out there that features arcade-style tank gameplay (World of Tanks, Battlefield series, etc), I'm sure some of us fans would love to try our hands on a realistic tank sim. ;) Edited June 12, 2012 by Hornet85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

104th_Crunch Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 What a great overview thanks. Very exciting. The future looks better than it ever has for DCS. Looking forward to ED's fast jet most of all, as I am sure it will be top notch like Ka50 and A10C are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullitt Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 They should do the train one but fail to mention the combat simulator part so then some poor guy goes to see what multiplayer is all about and is like WTF when somebody hoses down his train with GAU 8 rounds, lol.

BHawthorne Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 A military "sand box", ok, why not... But civilian aircraft and train............:doh::mad: Let it to FSX and train simulator ! What's wrong with a target rich environment with diversity? I don't think I'd do train sim but I definitely see the scenarios that would benefit from a fleshed out rail simulation. FSX is dead as a core, Prepar3d and X-Plane is the only thing alive on the civilian side. There is a lot of parallel content out there already from other sims that can be re-envisioned for DCS. :smilewink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neroroxxx Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Amazing news! I also love the idea of civilian aircraft in the world, I'd love to fly a cessna or a 747 but with better graphics and overall better engine than xplane or fsx, I guess I just want one world to fly in with the best physics, graphics, sounds and so on possible.

KaspeR32 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 The one thing he failed to mention (which may be because ED doesn't even know yet) is what it means to have the DCS brand on an aircraft. For example, DCS: MiG-21BiS is going to be held to what standards? I guess I ask because that's the only way for the hardcore simmers to really know if they are going to purchase or not. It's a shame about the AFM too, I know it must be complicated but I doubt very many 3rd party developers will take the time and write their own AFM, even then I'm sure it really couldn't compete with A-10C's AFM. So I guess what we get from ED is going to be the best there is. Don't get me wrong, I'm still excited about all this, and maybe down the line a 3rd party developer will come and knock the socks off the A-10C AFM.

BHawthorne Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 +1 What have civilian aircraft and trains to do with a combat simulator? Transportation for nations are targets or things to defend depending on what side of the fence you're on. Conflict is not always military on military. Civilians also exist in areas of conflict and play a part in combat tactics. It's pretty clear infrastructure are things of importance to a combat simulation.
