Jedi Master and others -Why you say who can write and what not?What you care?I constantly tell you what you can write?
#%&*$# from others,and let people talk. you do not like someone comments - ignore it.let's finish this stupid discussion ffs.

griping is an integral part of the fun of flight sims, without it, half of the fun goes away

If we were to take stock of all the controversial and/or negative posts in the DCS section, I'll bet that only a small fraction of them would be actual complaints, criticisms or negative statements twords DCSW, and the remaining majority would be people telling the critics to STFU, or find their own website to complain on, or calling SimHQ a cesspool of negativity, demanding the mods silence anyone who criticizes ED/DCS etc etc and the "complainers" in turn arguing for thier right to complain. If anyone's turning these boards into a cesspool, it's the "Stop saying bad things about my video game" crowd - i.e. those who just can't handle a negative statement being made about their favorite video game and insist on turning threads into a flame war whenever someone says something bad about ED/DCS.

Good old DCS forums.

excellent post

by the way - you can notice how much better this forum is, now that we don´t have the DCS-officialforummoderators here anymore ? people can actually disagree with each other without having the thread closed.



can you imagine how I feel, being unable to actually do that

So what's your point? You just did the very thing you say you're blaming me for?

Congrats, here's your hypocrite medal.




The Jedi Master

OK - before I go, this conversation needs this to improve its quality :

My point?-leave me alone, leave Tom, leave Rakowar, Jonny and all other who here write. Who are you to tell what I can write?What's your right for that , you and the others?I just want read posts here, and I want sometimes write my opinion.
It's true here the atmosphere is not good, but thank for this ed, others and not only us.

The number is ONE and it was set by common sense.



Considering a complaint following another complaint by 3 months is not belaboring, but following a complaint with another identical one in 3 POSTS is, this violates the rule of common sense.



Again, it's called common sense, and if you don't see it written down, it's because it's implied. I didn't see a rule prohibiting the use of common sense, but apparently many have inferred its existence erroneously.
If you feel that if there's no law banning from you doing something that it is not only your right but your prerogative to do it, even if it makes you look like an ass, like standing in your yard and shrieking the lyrics to My Heart Will Go On in a tacky Japanese accent continuously while the sun is up, then I guess there's no reasoning with you.



There's speaking freely, then there's verbal diarrhea.


However, to illustrate my point, I will now daily repost my entire post that I just wrote, in full, in every thread in the DCS forum multiple time per day per thread. Since, according to you, I'm free to say whatever I want as many times as I want without having to worry about whether it makes sense, whether or not it would annoy others, whether or not there's a snowflake's chance in hell of it convincing people of anything at all other than that I've a single-minded focus on repeating my point over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over, I see no reason whatsoever not to.

I mean, there's no rule against it, even though it's extremely stupid, makes me look like a miserable ass, and accomplishes nothing other than to make people turn AGAINST my point, so per you LET'S DO IT!




The Jedi Master

See, the problem is my post wasn't directed at you specifically, but for some bizarre reason you think it was. Feeling guilty?

To be clear--it's ok for you to post as many complaints as you want as many times as you want about DCS or ED or whatever, even if it's say 4 times per thread in every thread, but I'm not allowed to post a single complaint about you making too many complaints?

Here, have TWO hypocrite medals:







The Jedi Master

The video does look impressive and it is promising from the commentary that some of the issues have been looked at such as the visibility of aircraft and the gun effect fps.

Should be a quality product - personally looking forward to getting the Spitfire IX.

Would like a side by side comparison of the current and future visibility.

I'm especially curious how the appearance changes in relation to range, how different it is from now. How gradual is it? Is it a pop in or does it start as a dot and subtly change into the silhouette of the plane before finally become the object itself.

In Falcon "smart scaling" would scale the model size based on range. The fun thing is that airplanes would smart scale but airbases wouldn't so F-15s sitting on the runway were twice as wide as the runway. This was only really noticeable at long ranges and low FOVs (zoomed in).

I hope ED's smart scaling is a function of range AND zoom so that the maximum scale is at high FOV values and long ranges instead of just at long ranges. As range decreases or FOV decreases the scale should smoothly return to 1:1.

This is not a 'smart scaling' feature. It's an enhanced visibility feature. No scaling.

Oh boy, a clarification.



For the second time, revelation, I was talking about the revisions made by ED after they took full control of DCSWW2.
How about some facts summed up nicely,
This is on the official ED forums posted by wags himself so... you know I do hold ED accountable for their own unrealistic timeline.

Here are the points that I think you should read again and again before posting anymore. Keep in mind that this is from June of last year, 2014.

"As a basic outline, here are our current development intentions:

August 2014 – Fw 190 D-9 Dora
October 2014 - BF-109K
December 2014- Spitfire IX
March 2015 - P-47D-30
May 2015 - Normandy Map with period AI units"

RRG may have been unrealistic in their timeline of one year to compleation of the project, everybody agrees with that. BUT, and heres the funny part, ED seemed to think they could have done it themselves in one year, AFTER taking full control of all the assets which included 2 half finished aircraft. LMFAO

Your second point is answered with this part of wags post

"Because there are some shared resources between projects (like cockpit systems programming), there will be some impact to our other projects. However, because much of the former RRG team is now employed by Eagle Dynamics, the impact on other Eagle projects will be minimal."

I also find this part really interesting "The vast majority of funds needed to finance this project have and will continue to come from Eagle Dynamics (not Kickstarter)" kind of strange to be funding a project while not being a partner don't you think?

I do hope that has cleared my original post up for you revelation, I wouldnt want the Jedi Master getting his panties in a bunch if I have to post, yet again, to make it even clearer. Honestly I don't know if I could make it any more clearer than that, so fingers crossed you finaly understand.

From what I understood, it puts a one pixel "icon" over where the plane/anything is supposed to be, within supposed visual range of course. Enhanced option could make it a bit bigger than 1 pixel?

Oh so it's just a label?
