It's over. It's done. It's history.

A kick in the nuts?

 Maybe it's over for you but I, and many others, are still owed a P47, a 262, an "ED produced module of my choice" etc. So no, its not over, its not done nor is it history.

Sounds like they need to change the title of this thread to DCS Bashing LOL.

Btw yes I was a full backer , so yes I supposed I would be considered still being owed some stuff based on the original Kickstarter.

But yes for me, it is over. Has been for some time.

I was too. Never got squat. At least I pledged at a low level. Lesson learned.

Still having fun with those on-train autorotations..

 

 

[Lusekofte]

I was not a backer , mainly for the same reason as here, I never was intrested in those aircraft they listed. So I might have a totally other perspective, but as I understand it the kickstarter package and intention behind it is over. Normally this will happen and there will be no product. In this case ED have just kept on with it , like no promises ever was done. And I can really relate to the anger from people that this happened to.

Well I flown the Yak 52 a lot more, and I simply cannot praise it enough. This plane is actually in the price range of a Cessna and act like a war bird. 

Well buying it, not counting the oil consumption of a radial. But these planes fly today , and operators of them is not more wealthy than me. 

I can really relate to the possibility that I could fly this in real life, and it is something sobering about that fact.

Splendid physics and modeling, I compare it with the Huey and MI 8 in quality, I do not think it could possible be better

 

Oh dear, thanks to you, I'm going to have to buy it now! Have you tried the spitfire dude? As personally for WW2 that is my personal favourite!

What does being a 'full backer' entail dburne? Is it significant investment? And is the backer therefore entitled to free content or is that just a potential bonus?

I gave enough to the project to get all the content when developed. 

[Bremspropeller]

Any idea when the F-14 is gonna arrive?

 

I know, it's either 30 seconds or two weeks, but seriously...

Same here.  How many years ago? 5 or 6, time flies when having fun with BOX.

Pretty sure it was around same time BoS was announced and I became a Founder Member for it.

So maybe 2013?

Just checked I became a member here in Dec 2012 so that is probably about right.

I just gave it a fly around Dubai. Sure it wont take up the bulk of my attention due to a lack of weaponry, but after seeing how incredibly it handles (and feels), whenever I just want a rollercoaster ride in and out of the skyscrapers, I'll definately be jumping in the Yak-52. It's death defying! You can swoop down from the edge of space, and still manage to fly it gracefully under a bridge at top speed!

Seems DCS WWII still getting some love:

 

Excerpt from yesterday's DCS Newletter:

DCS World War II Update

An important aspect DCS World War II is the addition of additional player-controlled and AI aircraft. Some of these include the P-47D, Mosquito, A-20, C-47, Fw 190 A-8, and Ju-88. All of these are various stages of development, and they will serve a vital role in fleshing out the DCS World II experience in concert with the new damage modelling, new World War II era maps, and dogfight AI. As each of these elements progress to the point we’re ready to introduce in DCS World, we’ll be talking about them much, much more.

OMG... The Mosquito!!!

 

[MiloMorai]

Would have been nice if they had said what stage of development the a/c are in and which are AI.

 

The Russian Mossie  is a FBVI. 

 

PZ468 according to the serial number is a FB.XVIII Fighter bomber. The 'Tsetse'. Developed from the FB.VI with the nose modified to take a six-pounder (57mm) anti-tank gun instead of the four 20mm cannon. The six-pounder could fire 25 shells in 20 seconds. Merlin 25 engines. Used mainly by Coastal Command against submarines and shipping.

Looks like DCS ain't giving in to BOX as far as WWII goes.

 

Well, competition is good for the consumer.

They're all a.i. except the P47 which might become flyable in the distant future......

Im sure they had it all the time. They were just stalling. And once again nothing about the 262.

Its just a skin on a standard FBVI though - no evidence to support there being a Tsetse either as AI or Flyable (in fact no evidence at all that a mosquito will be flyable)

[MiloMorai]

I realize that BOO but as DCS is such a stickler for accuracy …..

[Leon_Portier]

The A-10 is a pretty good plane, it comes with many missions!

[Lusekofte]

A 10 is the main plane in DCS and I think they hope to get the Hornet to replace its throne. A 10 will keep you occupied for a long time 

[Feathered_IV]

A flyable Mosquito would be very nice.  Maybe in a few years if all goes well.  

I like the idea of low level anti-shipping operations too, but there wasn't much of that in Normandy in 1944.  Maybe a new map would be a good idea.  A bit of England to Norway or Denmark perhaps

Sure, if you don't mind development that moves slower than a geriatric turtle.

If you mean that a turtle would reach geriatric age during development I think you are on point. Movement of a geriatric turtle would seem speedy in comparison 

 

Cheers, Dakpilot 

[LuftManu]

Its nice to have the Mosquito announced but looking looking how fast they go, we will be flying sooner the Mossie in BOX ?

 

PS: Competition is nice but I think this is just beating a dead horse. Looks like they are just trying to complete the original plan and having some planes done but it's not their priority. Box has already taken the WW2 Crown and after BOBP releases they know it will be even more dead. Eventhough, It would be nice to fly here the Mosquito.

Well flying the YAK a lot , I still feel they got a lot when it comes to adding immersion of flight. This plane made me try out the P 51 and Spit one more time. I can't say it was a terrible experience . But no plane in DCS can beat choppers
