The subject of the interview with Wags came up last night where I mentioned that the Chinook will be the next module released
A bit late to the party. Interesting video. In case it helps people to find stuff, here is a timeline (more or less) to the DCS content:
15:00 It’s a game. Don’t want total fidelity. Bad guys can use it, too.
27:00 At this point can only look back in time for additional aircraft to model. So ground forces will be the new arena.
29:00 Ukrainian map too sensitive tight now as is Taiwan.
29:30 Dynamic campaign still in the works.
30:00 Chinook is next in the pipeline and coming soon.
34:00 For any aircraft, etc, must be able to demonstrate that the data for it came from legal publicly available documents.
36:00 How we decide what module to do next.
41:00 How do issues (“bugs”) get fixed?
43:00 The need to be very careful with documentation and what elements are included.
48:00 Viper radar lock loss bug. Also talk about real world failures and whether to include them in sim.
50:00 Hornet flight dynamics being reworked.
51:00 Full briefing room coming for the carrier.
52:00 Super Hornet not likely and reason why.
53:30 DCS sufficiently modeled that can be used to teach. DCS compared to real world military simulators.
57:00 Did Top Gun 2 help with sales?
58:00 Possibility of destructible trees.
59:00 Additional carrier crew coming soon.
1:00:00 Looking for air boss voice actor.
1:01:30 Wags’ game preferences.
1:02:40 Korea and Vietnam maps. Not now but will come.
1:05:00 Full DCS C-130 will eventually be made.
1:06:00 An entire logistics system is in the works and it’s application to the dynamic campaign.
1:07:00 Difference between DCS and real world experience in the cockpit.
1:12:00 Kola Peninsula map. Whole world map.
1:15:00 Eurofighter. Kiowa.
1:20:30 S-3 possible but far down the list.
1:43:30 Any chance of a Gripen or Rafale? The docs are the issue.
1:44:30 Possibility of FF Su-27, MiG-29, plus more on type and sources of information they can use.
