Rolling_Thunder Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 4 minutes ago, Tuesday said: Ignorance is not bliss in your case, it seems. It's clear they are reacting both to the pushings of new owner Nick Grey and the progress and success of IL-2. I won't be surprised if the 262 ends up more in their news once IL-2 releases theirs. Lol words from ED don't carry much weight. Ignorance of EDs past BS is clearly bliss in your case then. 1
Taxman Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 Hum I maybe wrong but I do not remember seeing any pictures of a 262 or 47 from ED in the last few months only that the 47 is being worked on, BOX however
Archie Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 Got to admit I'm a bit hyped for the F14. Not that I have time to learn it of course.

Rolling_Thunder Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 and the 262? The point I'm trying to make, but is obviously above some folks heads, is that the folk who are patiently, some, myself included, impatiently, waiting for their promised P-47 and 262 are having to wait a few more years as ED are moving their manpower towards products, 190 a-8 and mosquito, that will generate more revenue as nobody has any money down on those products. Those folk that have been waiting since June 2014 are all but forgotten and have no way to get their money back. There were a few pictures of the 262 cockpit way back in 2014 done by RRG. ED have sat on the work done by RRG for 4 years. Claimed lack of data among other things as the reasons for delays yet continue to show WiP of other products. That's my point. First one to mention "But ED were knights on white horses that saved DCS WW2" wins a free trip to the moon and back for missing the point.
Tuesday Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 You got burned on a bad investment and take it out by mentioning it with every reply you make in this thread. It isn't above our heads, some of us didn't just make the same mistake as you and so aren't as upset about it.
Rolling_Thunder Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 And I will continue to mention it until I get what I'm owed. I will continue to point out ED complete disregard for their customers until their business practices improve. I see you have pre ordered BoBP , Imagine if you can 1C deciding to announce "Battle of Midway" next week, then deciding to shelve the remaining BoBP aircraft and map until Battle of Midway is Finished. Then deciding to announce Iwo Jima shelving BoBP for a further 2 years. Offering no refund for BoBP. That is in essence what ED have done to myself and others. If you don't want to hear it, put me on your ignore list. 1 1

dburne Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 That Jester AI Rio for the F-14 looks ( sounds) pretty cool.

Bremspropeller Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 Talk to me....Jester! (Sonds kinda wrong.)

They show progress and let the work speak for itself. It's a real breath of fresh air in a time when everything is super mega epic omfg hyped up years before completion. 1
Lusekofte Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 I was going to say that I would not buy it, but looking at the video I am sold. Viggen is a real treat , I bet this will be too 1

You have to sell the product and expand the player base too, BOX isn`t hyped enough in my opinion. It`s a great sim/game and deserves more exposure. The dev`s can backup the hype so hype away and increase potential. .. and as a Viggen fan I will be pre-ordering the F-14. Edited October 8, 2018 by Wulfen 1
Lusekofte Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 Damn I have to relearn the Viggen, I forgot almost everything. And I got a serious urge to fly it after this video

Herne Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 I really like the idea of taking the back seat and giving that a try. But like Gambit says, unless you put some serious time into learning the systems, and then spending the time to keep current it's going to be hard to motivate yourself to just log back in unless you know you have a few hours to spare.

Imo learning the aircraft if the best thing about DCS and that's what I enjoy the most. I wish Il2 was more complex in this way and had more advanced systems modeling. Can't wait for the Tomcat, probably going to be the best module in DCS once it releases (besides the Mig-21 and A-10 of course) 14 hours ago, Gambit21 said: Yeah DCS is good at trailers.

That's usually about as far as I get though, I agree that it is fun learning a new plane and it's systems, but the training is usually about as far as I get in DCS. One thing that really took me by surprise recently was Xplane. Bought it recently inspired by some screen shots posted on this forum, and having heard and subsequently read about the FSEconomy plug in. Traditionally Civvie sims have never held my interest for long, but there is something strangely addictive about getting my passengers from my FBO's Passenger Terminals in a suitably sized aircraft in real time with real time weather conditions. I'm still in shock that I'm having fun without blowing shit up lol. I digress, for me, whilst the F14 looks absolutely stunning. Clearly a labour of love, I just can't see it getting much stick time from me beyond training. Mainly due to not enough free time in a day, and hard to break the habit of other Flight Sims I enjoy.

Herne Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 This was pretty epic though, sorry if it was already linked previously in the thread. 1

I flown all Helicopters for a long time, Now I think most of it stick. But Viggen and A 10 C is a goner while my effort in Choppers was ongoing. I neglect the Hornet , I simply do not have the time to learn them all. There is no chance in hell being good in many modules . But a couple or maybe 3 can be done
Gambit21 Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 I could see learning the MiG 15 - only I have no interest in flying unattended air shows.

Lusekofte Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 Well they say those Sabre Mig servers are pretty fun

I am pretty good with the KA-50 and Spitfire, started with the F/A 18-C and got as far as some Carrier traps, then back to the Spit. Reckon I need to just devote some serious time to one and one only to truly learn the thing. And now I just have to get that Tomcat LOL.
Lusekofte Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 Well I think The F 18 and F 14 is a good combo. If you fly them separately. Stay in one tap for a long time before you start with the other, then go back to the first one. My experience is , if you learn the module second time it is easier and it stick better. But If anyone start with DCS, I recommend them to think long and hard about what they want to fly, then buy just 2 or 3 . Having more is a waste of time if you want to be good

Having more is a waste of time if you want to be good I'm seriously tempted by the F14 due to the scale of the module, carrier, campaigns, possible map and the state of near completion at release. A refreshing change and hopefully a bar that other 3rd parties and ED will aim for. Hopefully heatblur can achieve their goals for release Edited October 10, 2018 by Rolling_Thunder
Danziger Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 Yeah I really didn't want to buy the F14 as I know I will never have time to learn the thing and probably only do a quick mission once every few months just to look at the pretty model. I bought it anyway though.
