*** Official DCS World Thread ***
- Thread starter lurkio
- Start date
ED had a poll on their forums for features people wanted
TOP voted by customers was a Dynamic campaign generator for DCS World
so we could have a great selection of missions to play
ED said NO,....... but why if thats what customers wanted ???
Simples, they have decided to release loads of DLC campaigns instead and
charge for them
Aint no $$$ in making the Dynamic campaign generator, better to DLC the
missions instead
Oh and the best part ........ ED screw up the game engine every few weeks and it makes the campaigns unplayable , oh the lols
eg you cannot play the gazelle campaign at the moment, first mission fails before you even get off the desk .. another heli lands
on top of you

Yes I am pretty well aquainted with software development,
but why bother having a poll if you are going to ignore the results?
People have been asking for a dynamic campaign gen for years on their forums
But like I said, more money to be made in milking the customer for DLC campaign after campaign

Carriers are ok to land on (pretty big)
Oil rig landing platform is a bit harder
Hardest is to land on frigate that is moving
go to multiplayer and check out the havoc-company DCS world server , we run a training server to let you practise such things
Guys just a heads up if you are thinking of putting any more money in ED pockets .......
The new activation system (which they failed to mention) while trying to sell us the Harrier is as follows
If your PC cannot connect to ED servers every 4 days then your game will not work
IMPORTANT: AV-8B COPY PROTECTION CHANGE!
Dear all,
With the release of the AV-8B today, it is import to know that this will be the first DCS World product that uses our new protection system. Rather than use StarForce keys, we are moving to a “keyless” system which binds your purchase to your www.dcs-world.com username, and NOT a key. You will not need a constant internet connection either. The new system will just “phone home” after a three day period or the next time you log into DCS World.
This new system will also provide benefits for Steam users and Gifting. Once those details are worked out, we look forward to sharing them with you.
We strongly believe that this will make protection of your DCS World products much more simple. At a later point, we hope to apply this same protection system to all of our other modules.
Also, the AV-8B release today is for the Open Beta version of DCS World. Please make sure you use this version and that you update it today.
We must release all new aircraft modules on the Caucasus map first as not everyone may operate one of the DCS 2.1 maps. We don't believe it fair to force customers to purchase one of these maps to fly their new aircraft. We do though plan to update DCS 2.1 for the AV-8B in the next one to two weeks.
Thanks,
The Eagle Dynamics Team

Great for you, but what about the people that are offline for long periods ?
eg the fine people who protect our country ? they might have a laptop but no net connection
and the worst is the ones that are most likely effected ..... will be offline now and cannot vote
I voted for 90 days, because those that cannot vote need a chance to
play the legally paid for software in SP mode for periods of time without internet connection
Before the thread discussing the new DRM go shut down by mods, there were several people
with justifiable reasons for not being online enough to use DCS
Iam ok with logging in to MP mode , but for SP mode current starforce system works well

I agree
I like that Monnie Rock created the poll
But it is basically asking how far in do you want them to put their **** in you
Really need a:
leave it alone and just use starforce option

Correct the ED forums are ruled with an iron fist and a ban hammer that Thor would envy
When something is said there (doesnt need to be inflamatory or direct against ED) that goes against
what they want being said posts get deleted threads locked people banned
There used to be a great reddit community /r/hoggit but they have went a same way
Now hoggit get these exclusive sneak peaks, pictures etc just for them ..... and in return
they are heavy handed with anyone who speaks badly about ED on hoggit
Censorship at its finest
simhq is one of the few flight sim related places were a customer of ED can speak their mind ...
But be warned ED ban people on the ED forums if they speak in non flattering terms in
someone else forums about ED

Hmmm, probably not getting it
I too wonder how much they think thye can get for this
ED said that the P-51D was the most cost effective module to date
most likely due to simpler avionics, simpler coding etc
So with that in mind this should "probably" not be too expensive

over on ED forums , people are peeing themselves like over excitied puppies about the F18
It is going to be many months before it is released and who knows until then
what exactly will be working at "early access" release, going to wait and see
You can always wait until the last minute before the offer expires before buying it for $60
