Recommended Posts

I want high fidelity DCS F15

There's a DCS F-15E beeing developed by Iris right now(could take up to 3 years to make though).

 

If you want a DCS F-15C.... well... wait :D

Atop the midnight tarmac,

a metal beast awaits.

To be flown below the radar,

to bring the enemy his fate.

 

HAVE A BANDIT DAY !

Sorry if this has been answered definitively/officially, but if so I didn't see it.

 

 

"Lock On: Flaming Cliffs 3 will require an installation of Lock On: Modern Air Combat or a previous version Flaming Cliffs"

 

Does this mean if we have FC2 installed we won't need to install lock on? I mean, FC2 is a 'previous version' of Flaming Cliffs, right?

 

Just trying to figure out if I should get my copy of lockon reinstalled, or if I'm Ok with having just FC2 installed.

 

Thanks!

As the saying of the F-15C goes, "Not a pound for air to ground".

This is great news! I can't wait to be in that F-15 cockpit. I can smell the Nevada terrain already, red flag with that f-15 would be great.

 

If I may add my 2 cents I think FC3 should come with training missions, the training videos are not the same, it's better to hear somebody talk while you fly.

 

WAGS, will there be the options to export the mfd, radar and so on on the f-15C like we can so with the study sims?

If its gonna be part of the DCS world module..why would you need the old FC2 or Lockon Cd again? Couldn't FC3 be seprate...if irc Ubi owns the IP for lockon and FC2 but did ED secure all the rights for FC3?...i could be wrong.:dunno:

 

Somehow I am sure that ED knows what they can/cannot do with regard to UBI. I am also sure that if there were a way around the LockOn requirement that ED would be more than happy to take advantage of it.

ED are only allowed to make addons for LOMAC, FC3 is an addon in that it requires LOMAC in order to function. UBI does not own FC2 only LOMAC.

At all loading screens was just F-15 images, like whole FC2 was built around F-15 while other aircrafts was just peripheral. F-15 got 120C while Su-27 was left with SARH.

Its obvious that F-15 is the main FC aircraft and it will be in FC3 too.

 

We have 8 aircrafts in FC3 (including 25t, we have to pa it one way or another, there is nothing for free). So its about 5$ per aircraft. Now, new F-15 is worth of that money for sure, its updated very well.

But price for Su-27 (for example) is 5$ while its nothing really improved (its only imported in DCS W environment).

So, its clear that price for Su-27 and for F-15 cannot be same.

 

Yes, we have 8 aircraft...out of those 8, only 2 are US. Why no F-16 or F-18 which are export to how many countries and air forces?

FC3 will be priced at $39.99.

 

...

 

Lock On: Flaming Cliffs 3 will require an installation of Lock On: Modern Air Combat or a previous version Flaming Cliffs.

 

This here is going to turn a lot of people away from the product. My guess is that there will be very few buyers that are new to the series and instead the only people willing to purchase FC3 will be current owners of LOMAC/FC2. The group that I fly with was initially excited, but the fact that you have to buy a ten year old game and have it installed in order to run FC3 in DCS World is a total deal breaker. The $39.99 price point seems fair for what we're getting, but for someone that doesn't own a previous version of the game, I highly doubt they're going to buy LOMAC/FC2 to run this, not unless the price is halved or it's offered in a bundle.

 

I personally have LOMAC, and will probably be the only one of my group to get FC3, which is a real shame. Despite the SFM's, the jets will add a great variety to mission creation, but the barrier to entry is completely ridiculous, especially if FC3 is going to have limited activations like all other ED products. Your market would be broadly expanded if you could cut loose from these requirements.

 

Now judging by some other posts here, it sounds like there is a legal issue with Ubisoft over this. Personally, I'd rather just tell them to shove it (as they're a horrible company for the PC anyway) and just make new SFM jets for DCS and sell them individually.
