Sea Serpent Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Since the full fidelity MiG-29 is going to have a very similar flight model, I decided to spend a little time in the FC3 MiG, just to get a feel for it. They have a very nice looking E-boat, too. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea Serpent Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Nobody should ever get a helicopter in DCS ever, without first being competent in the UH-1 first, imho. They will be so much better in every other helicopter if they are. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever their contractual dispute, I’m not sure if it was a great move by RB to take it to the customers in the way they did. And, if it winds up in a court, how long could that take? As of recently, the early access F-15E was the plane I was most into, and actively learning. I can keep on plugging away with it, obviously, but now I wonder if it will be left in an incomplete state. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the way video game development is now this was always going to be the case. Years and years and years of continuous improvement and tweaking. I have been doing some of the F-15E as well and honestly not worried about it at all. By the time I get even close to competent with what is already there, this will be a distant memory. If nothing else is added I will still have gotten my money's worth out of it, if more is added then great. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Serpent Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 (edited) I hope you’re right. But DCS World is updated frequently, and if a module becomes abandonware, it very well might not work for long. After reading all this drama today, which appears worse than yesterday, I’m inclined to shift my DCS focus towards modules I’m more confident will be supported in the long term. At least for now. And I also won’t be holding my breath waiting for a MiG-23 or the Miltech-5/Razbam Bo-105. Edited April 5 by Sea Serpent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooper117 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 All I have from Razbam is the MiG-19, so for me any forthcoming drama will not affect me much... but for others, who may have bought all their products so far it may have much more of an impact if things go south. Of course there are their future modules as well that could be impacted... ED has stated they will not be pulling the F-15E from the store, as some punters are sticking their oar in stirring the pot that it should be removed as it may not be completed... sad stuff, but hopefully some sort of agreement may be arranged once the heat has died down and reality kicks in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javelina Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Just checked, I have 4. The Harrier, South Atlantic, MiG-19, and the M-2000. Lots of drama going on, but whatever. I'm not losing sleep over it. 2 Quote MSI MAG Z790 Carbon, i9-13900k, NH-D15 cooler, 64 GB CL40 6000mhz RAM, MSI RTX4090, Yamaha 5.1 A/V Receiver, 4x 2TB Samsung 980 Pro NVMe, 1x 2TB Samsung 870 EVO SSD, Win 11 Pro, TM Warthog, Virpil WarBRD, MFG Crosswinds, 43" Samsung 4K TV, 21.5 Acer VT touchscreen, TrackIR, Varjo Aero, Wheel Stand Pro Super Warthog, Phanteks Enthoo Pro2 Full Tower Case, Seasonic GX-1200 ATX3 PSU, PointCTRL, Buttkicker 2, K-51 Helicopter Collective Control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Serpent Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Tomorrow, I’m going to pre-order the Wholeghanistan Map as a tribute to House Lannister in their battle against the Reynes, of Castamere. 😺 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Serpent Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Just read some potentially good news on r/hoggit: Razbam has made a brief statement, reassuring their customers, and affirming their intention to work with ED to resolve the issue. I hope this works out. They have some very nice planes in DCS. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea Serpent Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 (edited) Noticed two things: -Music is a version of the Andrew Oldham Orchestra’s The Last Time -So much glass in the cockpit, I don’t know if I’ll be able to handle another one 😀 Edited April 20 by Sea Serpent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blooddawn1942 Posted April 19 Author Share Posted April 19 I noticed sunreflections at 0:19 on the cockpitglas. Maybe a new feature coming to DCS? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea Serpent Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Not 100% decided, but I think I’m going to pass on it too. I’m not afraid of complexity, but I just have too many aircraft to either learn or relearn. If I get the urge to fly an air assault chopper, which I occasionally do, I’m inclined to skip the difficult looking learning curve, and use the familiar Mi-8 or UH-1, which also have much larger chronological footprints. If they had made a D or something, I’d snatch it up in a heartbeat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Serpent Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 (edited) Someday, I'd like to do multi-crew in the Mi-8. I used to fly it online, but that was before it had multi-crew capabilities. I guess you can have up to 5 people in it now? Anyway, just an attack run on some soft and easy targets (w/ 23mm gunpods), to get the feel back. You would almost never overfly the targets, but this was just practice. It doesn’t look so bad from the cockpit to me, but from the screenshots, I think the Caucasus terrain and the Mi-8 may both be showing their age. This and the Blackshark are still my favorite helicopters in DCS. Edited April 21 by Sea Serpent Mi-8 reminds me a bit of the Millennium Falcon inside. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This enhances the visual quality dramaticaly. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
