Lol , its funny cos its true

I would love to see their sales figures Vs Days

There would be an initial rush of pre order ..... then when released another rush for several days .....
then it drops off a cliff

Prices drop and people who would not pay full price then buy it

Dunno if was the latest patch but my campaigns seem be borked.

ermmmm .......


Dear all,

We deeply apologize about the problems you are encountering with the new update; it certainly should not have been released in its current state. We did however learn a few valuable lessons that will benefit future releases and our staff is hard a work on a solution.

On a very positive note, we would like to congratulate Leatherneck Simulations on the release of MiG-21bis. We are proud to have them as a partner and we look forward working with them on many more projects!

Sincerely,
Matt and the Eagle Dynamics Team

Yep it looks like the usual high level of care and attention was once again used to test this update before unleashing it upon an unsuspecting public ....

Still no MI-8 manual .. sigh

Still no fix for Pod select switch getting stuck
 
ED forums appears to be down

I wonder if they accidentally banned the entire internet ?
or
Did they delete the entire forums by mistake (instead of just deleting any thread that says anything remotely critical) ?
 
No company could operate at a loss forever , it wouldn't be around for long before going under surely?

Your BBC analogy is not a good example , BBC actually produce finished shows

ED just seem to churn out n endless amount of Beta products

One thread on ED had some people pointing this out in a polite manner and that they would not be buying any more Beta products until the current Beta's were finished eg huey , MI-8 and the sabre (from Betasimtek) and the MIG-21
All of these post megically get dissappeared by the "mods" , not cool

Not that the Huey does not have engine temp handling eg you can run the hell out of the engine and it will take is (super engine mod maybe?)

MI8 has no manual ..... so very hard to use the more complex systems , I would also like the lighting sorted out

I am not bothering with he sabre unless it is really cheap or they actually finish it.

Betasimtek are ED Partners (the only one) they work very closely with ED and for all intents and purposes are ED eg share resources

Huey , still needs work
MI8 , also needs finised off and completed
Sabre , also needs finishing off

My point is how about finishing off what you started before working on something else and then ignoring what you have already got the money for?

I think that if another company were to directly start competing with ED it might make things better for the consumer, maybe they would stop half assing it so much and act better toward the people who support them.

I LOVE to fly helicopters , I would probably love it more when stuff like the trees not being able to be flown through is fixed , but been waiting 6 years for that so won''t hold my breath.

Dedicated server , other software has this sorted very early on , we are still waiting for it 6 years later with promises that we will get it sometime in the future

I like DCS but I am not deluded by the fanboi factor and do realize that it could be so much more that it is today.

The multiplayer interface looks like the guy who wrote it is stuck in a time warp from the 90's. Look at the way arma can allow you to create a single shortcut to launch the game and connect to a server , it is so much better than ED's implementation

I could go on forever about how it could be made better , but stuff that like just gets you banned from their forums or shouted down by the fanbois

Could you point me to some Huey threads that discuss its"super engine"? I'm genuinely interested.

Belsimtek are close partners but stil not ED, otherwise they would be called ED;) ED still makes planes (The Dora is here and F/A-18 is on the horizon), Belsimtek is involved on other projects. I'll just be a devil's advocate here and say that "finishing" a very high fidelity sim is philosophically impossible or near enough. Also it is financially impossible, or near enough. For example, just the physics model of FW-190 Dora costs $120.000 to make (according to ED chief engineer! I wonder how much does an F/a-18 physics model cost? :D). Lets say something is wrong - the plane deviates form the real data graph in some particular aspect. Correcting the problem is not a matter of correcting a few numbers in an Excel, as most of the equations are interconnected and change in one place leads to unwanted changes in another - and who is to pay for all that? From what I've read, they build models and do small wind tunnel tests- it's all super-super complicated and costly.

Everything has a downside- if your aerodynamics are simple then creating a plane that matches real data in terms of speed, climb, turning etc is straight forward and cheap but the plane/chopper is on rails and has awful stall behaviour (FSX). If your aerodynamics are super complicated like DCS, then stall behaviour and flight feel are great but matching everything perfectly with a real performance table is very hard/expensive. I think only the A-10c that was funded by the pentagon is *perfect* in every way, other modules have compromises in matching real data- but with great aerodynamics. (Falcon BMS has wrong stall behaviour btw :p I still love it though)

And the thing is that even with mistakes (like Dora initially had something wrong with its rudder airflow) DCS planes are amazing anyway, nobody does aerodynamics like DCS/777, so its an absolute joy to fly. Same with Huey - superengine or not, no other non DCS chopper is even close to its feel, regardless of how accurate their thrust, speed, temperature tolerance etc are.

I guess the short answer is dont buy a module with which you are not happy at the time of purchase :)

Sorry buddy , just keep using the search function on ED forums , if you are lucky you will see one of the posts regarding this before the mods delete it ...

It is difficult to decide which module to to buy because it is not like you could reference a thread or list of known bugs , they don't want people to be able to see these sorts of things, they prefer to keep you in the dark.

Sorry but I aint got time to create a thread for each aircraft and then populate it with the know bugs (which would actually be helpful for bug reporting it would stop the same stuff being reported again and again)

Maybe you could do it Nate ? Take some time off going round from forum to forum like the other shills and trying to quash all posts not extolling the virtues of ED

Also try to have a breath of fresh air once in a while and remove your head from ED's rectum

The Combined arms mission with the Player Ka-50 are fun. Stick the Shark on Auto Hover while you command the whole battle field, then jump back to the Shark to assist with the Battle.

I find that the game crashing after 20 minutes of playing this mission somewhat detracts from the fun
 
pity the MIG-21 is still so expensive , will wait a few weeks they are bound to knock the price down

I mean most that really want it will have bought it already
