DCS: A-10C Warthog (first screens!)

[Nate--IRL--]

IRIS starting also to develop the T-38A Talon (Top Gun Mig-28s ) for DCS: World. Good stuff.

So, we've been listening to what you want on the forums and after long discussions within the team and with the publishers, we're happy to confirm development of the IRIS T-38A Talon for DCS: World!

This decision has been based largely on the feedback we've received from you guys on what you'd like to see, and based of course on the production assets available to us.

The T-38A Talon will be aimed at release prior to the F-15E, essentially allowing us to step up our skills in project development. Whilst we have yet to firmly set out project content, we are anticipating to include a training syllabus similar in structure and content to that which the US Air Force uses.

We will of course, be calling on the community to involve themselves where possible, and we will be providing regular updates on development to keep you all in the loop.

We look forward to the bright future this new platform brings and I hope you all will enjoy and take part in this next step in our development process.

Regards

David.

A 3rd party team is developing the F-18E now according to the ED forums. I'm sure Nate will post more details in here soon. Exciting stuff!

I know as much as you do I'm afraid.

Core Tex Designs does indeed have a license agreement. However, they are very early in their development and have decided to jump into the very deep end. I wish them the very best and also will be curious to see how they resolve some of the technology challenges posed by this aircraft.

If you happen to be going to the Flying Legends weekend in Duxford you may get a sneak preview of the Hawk in DCS

http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=90481

Bored this weekend and in the UK and want something to do?

Then come to Flying Legends at Duxford this Saturday and Sunday and come and fly DCS P-51D Mustang in TFC's hangar 2 in the morning and then watch the real things in the afternoon.

You may even see a couple of sneak peaks

Look forward to seeing you there, Chris.

Awesome stuff!

If I have DCS world 1.1.2.1 can I upgrade or do I need to download 1.2.0 fresh?
I used world like, once so not sure if it has an update function and recently formatted, I'd hate to have to keep doing this every update.

Also, does combined arms allow the use of playing with or against those that have DCS-A10?
E.G, a player JTAC for player CAS.

I'm not sure if the will be a patch for 1.1.2.1 to 1.2.0 - currently it is a just a full installer for 1.2.0.

Yes if you have DCS:-World and own 1 other module you can participate online with owners of other modules, regardless of whether you own them or not.

For example if you own CA but not A-10, you can lase targets etc for other player A-10s online, but you can fly the A-10s in the mission.

Just noticed in the Steam sale....

DCS:-Warthog £12, down from £40
DCS:-Black Shark 1 £5, down 75%.

Nate

 

[Nate--IRL--]

Thats a great price for A10 , but I would say to people to NOT waste a fiver on BS1
When they can buy the full version of black Shark 2 for £14.99 and then play in the awesome DCS world http://www.gamefly.co.uk/Download-DCS-Black-Shark-2-UK/5002374/

I'm speechless. A positive post from you is praise indeed.

Nate

 

[Nate--IRL--]

You will want one. Flying with the keyboard is doable, but a pain in the rear.

EDIT- BTW the version on steam is slightly out dated - head over to the Offical Forums and check out DCS:-World. One thing to note is the Tutorials are broken in the latest version so the steam version is actually better for beginners.

Quick look at the RTS aspects of Combined Arms

Here is a very basic hands on of how I generally use the Command Map when playing. Nothing fancy here and no voice over. Once CA is near final, I will do a very detailed Producer's Note.

Some items to keep in mind about CA:

1- CA is NOT intended to be a study level simulation of ground combat. It is meant to have a very shallow learning curve. Later on, I would expect to see study-level simulations of individual units.

2- This is still very much an early beta. As such, there are of course many bugs, missing items, and much tuning to be done.

3- For larger feature items that are out of scope, it's my hope that there will be a CA 2.0.

4- Myself and the team are carefully reading feedback and this will effect changes to the final CA version.

Thanks

Teaser trailer for the 3rd party MiG-21

Teaser-trailer for DCS: Mig-21Bis Fishbed.

Features of the "DCS: MiG-21Bis Fishbed":

• Highly detailed six-degrees-of-freedom cockpit with dynamic shadows. Interact with cockpit controls with your mouse like previous DCS products.
• Accurate airframe and realistic 3D cockpit model.
• Detailed modeling of the MiG-21Bis instruments, navigation, electrical, radar, engine, fuel, and weapon systems.
• Russian and English cockpit texts and hints

• Improved and more realistic airplane behaviors that are based on real MiG-21Bis pilot tests and instruction.
• More than a twenty high detailed aircraft skin with unique stencil texts.
• More than a dozen new deliverable weapon.


"DCS: MiG-21Bis Fishbed" is developed by Laszlo 'beczl' Becz in association with The Fighter Collection and Eagle Dynamics. Further information will be provided as development progresses. I will be providing Work In Progress (WIP) screenshots, videos, and other product information.

http://www.dcs-mig21.com/

*And as to avoid any "confusion", the scene with the arms and the weapon (ie first person shooter scene), this was made purely for fun, and its from the game Battlefield 3. Not the entire scene mind you, only the arms and the weapon.
It was sort of a wink for the future, where we hopefully get to play as infantry in DCS as well.

Nate, do you know if the F15E that is in development is multiplayer? ie pilot and wso are playable?
I really hope so

There are actually 2 High Fidelity F-15Es in development (A ridiculous situation IMO) One from IRIS and one from RAZBAM.

I feel confident that both are aware of peoples desire for MP multi-crew capability as people have been very noisy on the forums about it. So fingers crossed.

Back in the early days of Lock On it was possible to share a cockpit over MP for training purposes, but it was never developed fully and was dropped. So it is possible.

Problem is that ED haven't a clue when this patch will be released

On one side you have 1C .... who promise a patch next week ....... next week
Other extreme you have ED ..... who knows what they are doing

They'll release it when they feel its ready.

Nate

 

[Nate--IRL--]

You have a choice, stick with what you have on disk (which is OK). Or...

Install DCS:-World and the A-10 module. You get free Su-25T aircraft with that too.

DCS went free to play with DCS:-World, and you can use the plugin modules such as the A10 you bought to place into it. This is the latest version of DCS.

I would suggest waiting for a day or two as there is new version, with an auto updater, on the way.
