...and the typical interval between "coming" and released for maps is...

 

Should be fun with the 109K and Dora...

It would be nice if they added V-1 launch sites and flying bombs.  That way there would be something German in the air that fitted the time period.

Yep - might as well release a Fokker DVII at this point.

It would fit right in to their current scheme - whatever that is.

"DCS is a true "sandbox" simulation that is also designed to cover multiple time periods of interest such as WWII, Vietnam, Gulf War and others." - Eagle Dynamics

 

They do a damned good job of that.  :lol:

Yes absolutely, but this does dipend also by us. Too many people ask for everything.

 

We'll see in Normandy-South England 1944. Be sure, people will ask for Spitfire Mk.I and Emil instead of Tempest, P-38, FW and G10.

I'm quite excited at the prospect of a DCS WWII map and campaign... I have all their WWII birds.

But they do need to define exactly what time period we will be campaigning over, and have the relevant aircraft to match... 'Tiffy anyone?'

Overall this DCS WWII project is kind of strange. 

Luthier had the kickstarter of DCS WWII: Europe 1944 campaign completed at 5th of October 2013. After that came somewhat regular (irregular) updates until 25th of April 2014, showing almost ready Bf109 and progress on Me262, P47, Normandy map etc. It had however become quite clear that the project is not on schedule (2014 autumn release), so many people praised ED for throwing out Luthier and taking over the project and "finally getting proper project management and keepign schedules". New roadmap was released and estimation for project to be ready in 2015. Now, two and a half years later we have got Spitfire. Seems to me that Luthier was actually better on track with his work and schedules than ED.

I think it's pretty obvious, that ED has given low priority to salvaging the mess left behind by DCS 1944.

 

This was never their project, and I don't blame them for not trying too hard, I just wish they'd stop giving people false hopes by issuing release dates that they must know will never be met.

Yup. Luthier had bad choices and aircraft setup was particularly faulty on his side, but at the same time things were somewhat going. Now they are slower than snail.

Well, I still think better at false hopes is LN. Announce hurr durr Iwo Jima (and Okinawa in perspective) along with Corsair (and Ai for and against it) and than total silence for over a year.

Well Luthier know the "Il-2" crowd, he know that "Luftwa'fles" will not accept nothing than the Uber BF 109 and etc.

In the same way that he know that american public will buy "Normandy's", so he try mix all this.  :)

From following the development, it doesn't seem to be an issue with the community asking for everything - factually speaking, it seems that the only thing the community is asking for is a set of aircraft and assets that are consistent with one another as far as theater, timeline, etc... Like 262's, AI B-17's, a timeline correct Spitfire, a timeline correct P-47, a theater correct P-51, a timeline correct 109 G, etc.

 

ED and the 3rd Parties are the ones who decide what will be produced and when - they shoulder the primary responsibility for things being all over the place.

Exactly

The result being that after purchasing the Dora, my wallet has remained and will remain clamped.

I don't see too many people flying the Normandy map with this plane set in competitive multiplayer. If they don't manage to release at least some immersive single player campaigns for the Warbirds, DCS WW2 will be lonely place.

 

Even though I did back the Kickstarter campaign and could get the Spit for free, I haven't claimed it because it leaves me cold.

First few hours in the Viggen, it's an absolute joy, love it.

There's something about his enthusiasm, technical knowledge and the accent that make Bunyap Sims videos really great to listen to.

Heh, all the Spitfire excitement seem to have evaporated and servers are back to normal. Seems like everyone picked Viggen. How is it ? 

 

Also, if anyone had hopes about DCS team being sane or competent : https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3030924&postcount=202

 

Be absolutely sure considering the deleted last 2 posts and the PRS to the 2 posters.

 

BTW, heard the Viggen has a rudder bug. True/False?

I got a never expiring 40 % from Sithspawn that received seal of approval from Wags after my appeal. I know the feeling. I also didnt expect anything else, fuel was rare ... but 109 that did not fly at given time is ok. Realism is relative for them.

 

I've spent some time flying on Burning Skies tonight, its back to old. 109 club festival is running same as it always was and I wonder where are all the people who claimed that Spitfire will change so much. Well, it did change something - 109s seem to be scoring even more than they were before.

Normandy map sure looks good. Hope we'll soon get to see it from altitude.

Hahahaha

I got 80 % and posting rights suspended for my comments here - 1.13 Users spreading malicious misinformation regarding DCS World and Eagle Dynamics will have their posting rights suspended here.

I cant recall any other company ever in over 15 years of sitting around flight sims that would view other forums and punish people for posting on them. But I must admit, that was a quick strike. Faster than average Court here takes to deliver notice.

That Normandy screens looks nice (not that this mean much per si, e.g. at their time CLoD screens looks nice).  :lol:

I'm not a big fan of the grass, but the towns look really well done. How much of the scenery will be destructible.

The grass and trees look painterly too me...like they were run through the 'paint daubs' filter in Photoshop - not a fan at this point.

However as Fink also pointed out above the detail in the towns is astounding. Nice job there.

Color palette looks strange still for this day and age. 

 

Now waiting for DCS SR-71 and Sopwith Camel combo pack to use on the Southern England map.

 

Seriously, get a P-47 along with that Normandy map and there's some good basis for me to recreate my old 9th TAC campaign and the German retreat

out of Normandy...Faliase Gap...etc. That would be epic.

Just need a P-47 which is only a twinkle in their eye at this point, a 109 that isn't a K4...a 190 that isn't a Dora, and various other airplanes that are not even planned.

But hey - a 109 is a 109, a 190 is a 190...in fact just make the P-47 an F-105 while you're at it...pretty much the same thing.

The rubber on the wheels probably came from the same factory so you're close.

In all seriousness I hope they pull something together that resembles a complete theater and plane set - my remarks should not be taken as ill-will.

Simply skepticism based on what I've seen up to this point - over years now.

P-47

I'd very much like to see what it will be with it. When I try to carry ground pounding  in P-51 its just a short play before I get jumped by whole band of 109s and 190s. And to be fair thats predictable since there arent many people communicating on Allied teams and willing to split roles - to escorts and attackers.

Posted

With that map, they really need the P-47 - it was the A-10 of WWII (IL2 aside)

Some good things will be possible if they can take a page from our developers book.

 

Set your goals, don't succumb to mission creep, put your head down - deliver a cohesive product.

It will take quite a while until P-47 is delivered. Normandy will be soon and so far I think it wont be very different from current missions, quake arena deathmatch on short distances. IronJockel and his ACG server might be a positive surprise however, I always enjoy flying on his server even though ping and stability are not great. But apparently he is up to improving server so ...

Hey Space Ghost - I think most of us agree wholeheartedly with the sentiment but might want to edit that before Bear or Haash or another mod get's here.

Meh, I dont think it deserves ban. Bearcat and Haash are good guys, never had any trouble with them and hope that I never will.
