=IRFC=Gascan Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 Yes please! More mods! Especially engine mods, but I like the idea of mirrors, sights, and ammo types (tracer/incendiary). The Aldis on the Dolphin is at just the wrong height to be useful in VR. I've seen photos of dolphins with the sight moved down to a better position, which would make a huge difference for my gunnery in that plane.
No.23_Triggers Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 Yeah, I've thought that extra engine mods could really nicely round out the gaps in even just the current FC1 plane set. I think the biggest benefit would be with D.VIIs and Spads...a D.IIIaü D.VII is a nice mid-point between the fairly underwhelming current D.VII and the outperforms-everything D.VII F, and a Spad XIII with a HS8bd or HS8be would be more competitive vs the F. I'd guess if we were to see engine mods, as well as 'fancy new trimmings' like additional plane mods and ammo, they'd come after the RoF planes have been ported - once FC starts to grow more into being its 'own thing'. In that regard, the mention of possible brand-new collector planes is promising. 2

Keep the powerful Viper but give us a prop pitch option that makes best use of that power. Of course, I still love the Camel. She is a feisty wench wot packs a punch although somewhat delicate.

Spiteful-camel Posted December 23, 2020 Posted December 23, 2020 Would like to buy FC 2 and in fact I have tried 4 times now but to no avail. I do wish that there was more than just a try again with these transactions if it doesn't succeed, it's damned annoying when one knows everything on this end is correct but it keeps being rejected. I am keen to buy for the obvious reasons as well as wanting to help with the development of FC, now I'm uncertain if I'll try again and wait until it gets released on steam where I don't get these sort of problems. Best keep out of my gunsights for a while is all I can recommend.

Who knows how the MP community will be then? It has improved much, lately. And when the time is ripe for damage model fixes, some currently frustrated players will also return. 1 2

That's the one the Spad pilots are drooling over. 1 thing I seen is the B25 will be flyable. I know not FC related but that got my attention. That will be awesome.

NO.20_W_M_Thomson Posted December 27, 2020 Posted December 27, 2020 And yes, we know you would very much like to see a flyable B-25, C-47 and Li-2. As would do we! We would love to build them for you, but we must first find a pathway for that within the team or qualified partner of which there are few, but you never know what will happen! Well their gonna try anyway and I have faith they will.

And they have the plane built already so why not finish it so it can be used by the players. They want to finish it they just need someone to do it. Guess I look at things a little different, Maybe a little too positive at times I guess.

I would love to see the B-25 made flyable one day as well, but we also have to remember that Jason said recently no planes for WWII other than the ones remaining for Normandy will be created in 2021. That's 8 flyables, plus the AI B-26 and the V-1. The references are definitely there to build the B-25's interior, but bombers are time-consuming projects. Edited December 27, 2020 by LukeFF

Guess I look at things a little different, Maybe a little too positive at times I guess. You are comparing apples to oranges. FC2 was contingent on sales. Initially, FC1 was not selling as well as they hoped. This changed, thus the fortunate of FC. A flyable B-25 is entirely different set circumstances; circumstances, I do not expect to change in the foreseeable future.
NO.20_W_M_Thomson Posted December 27, 2020 Posted December 27, 2020 I totally understand the work that would be involved and I don't expect it for some time if at all, probably at the least 2 years. Plus I want my mosquito before anything else and that looked like it was near the end of the list of things to do. Hopefully they get more help as it looks like with all the games 1c is developing their busy. maybe once this covid is dealt with things will look much brighter. That's put a strain on everything on the planet.
simfan2015 Posted December 27, 2020 Posted December 27, 2020 FC2 Expensive??? I paid just 50 euro for it, about the same I regularly have to invest for just 1 module or DCS map. The same it seems people pay for just 1 premium War Thunder asset like an Apache helicopter! That is why it is a no brainer... to me. This is an investment since FC2 , just like all other GB stuff we keep on improving over the next 5 years or so. All I paid to get into DCS is the same... It is like stock market... if you stick with your shares they will keep on rising in the long run. This is completely different from any other game series. FIFA 21 after... FIFA 20 is a prime example. I know this is beating a dead horse, but to me this was always so obvious. 3
No.23_Triggers Posted December 27, 2020 Posted December 27, 2020 (edited) Speaking of expensive wastes of money, I really can't wait to hear what the new collector planes will be once they decide to roll them out. I'd be hoping for either some of the less-famous scouts (Nieuport 24s, DH5s, Roland D, etc) or a new pair of two-seaters (B.E. seems almost essential to have, even if it is a bloody deathtrap! A Hannover / Albatros / Rumpler would also be a cool addition). The "Big Two" that people are holding out for seem to be the Snipe and Siemens-Shuckert, but they're a bit too obscure and late-on for me...and I'd like to see 1918 fleshed out a bit more before we start introducing more 1918 super-planes Edited December 27, 2020 by US93_Larner

That is how I took his comment In the portuguese language this survived as "oxalá", meaning "let us hope it may be so" (no god implied, the word Allah became alien as an explicit reference). We Portuguese got rid of the invading Celts, the Romans, the Suebi and Visigoths, then the Muslim Arabs and Moors. But of course we are all of them now.
Zooropa_Fly Posted December 27, 2020 Posted December 27, 2020 Insha'Allah is used all the time in Arabic cultures, and I think it's used in the context of things that are likely / expected to happen - as much as any miraculous intervention. S! 1

S! In the three years that I lived in Dubai and two in Indonesia, I cannot think of a single time it was ever used in a situation that was likely to happen. That being said, it is inadvisable to even joke that it cannot happen. That is a no-no. So technically, it can happen if that is what Allah wants. I would also not refer to it as "Arabic Culture" since the expression is actually Islamic.
Zooropa_Fly Posted December 27, 2020 Posted December 27, 2020 In Egypt certainly, if I was to say to Khaled "I'll be around later on pal".. he'd reply "Insha'Allah". But the language varies quite a bit from region to region so it's not surprising interpretations can differ.

But if it were added, it would likely be an AI machine only. However, such a craft would be a great target and add some fun, new gameplay. Developing even an AI Zeppelin is a big job and would require development of the physics and systems for lighter than air vehicles. It’s on my long-term desires list and if I can find a pathway to make them I will. I’ve long wanted this, but it’s harder than it looks to have a truly proper airship in our engine even as AI". I somehow missed that part, but I'm glad to know it's on Jason's wishlist as well. I only ever had the chance flying a Zep in a simulator like 20 years ago in Dawn of Aces (the WWI version of WarBirds III) and it was some great fun managing the engines, hydrogen and ballast. In the end those things have similar speeds as a bomber (Gotha G.V-ish), but it takes longer to climb and also descend, but you'll haul a massive bomb load with that thing. Anyway simply flying one in a decent simulator or today's standards would be totally worth it alone. It's something completely different from literally everything we usually have. I'm happy to have FC2 announced finally and I'll be throwing my mones at 777 soon to take advantage of that 20% early bird discount. Was planning to get FS20 finally, but it might well be pushed back now by FC2 I would have loved to get some RoF-owner's discount though as with the first FC release, but I'm happy to pay 60 bucks for it anyway. 1
