WAGS interview - Timeline of highlights

[Friar]

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.

Very well done Friar narrows down the interview.

Not my work - copy and paste from the ED forum - but useful just the same. It was a good interview with the 4 guys. I watched the whole thing.
