Great post Steve. You have captured what I was trying to say perfectly.

Majestic's Q400 is fantastic however even it performs badly in unusual attitudes and speeds. Try inverted flight. It's just not meant for it - not that the Q400 should ever be inverted, but the engine is just not designed to operate outside normal "bus driver" type conditions.

DCS shines here. While people just want to moan and moan, they are overlooking a lot of the unbelievable detail that HAS made it into the sim already. They take it for granted because they're not using those features to the maximum potential.

I dunno folks, I have a lot of fun with DCS. Have you ever tried it with VR? Have you ever felt the "ground rush" effect when bringing something like the MiG-21 in for a landing? That is not an easy aircraft to land, and when the ground is whizzing by your face at 270+ kph while only a few meters above the ground, it is hard for me to say that DCS is a bad sim. Not perfect, and their marketing leaves a lot to be desired (Unfinished modules) But most of the modules we do have a pretty damned good. I wonder if those who are so dissatisfied have actually tried some of the well done modules such as the M2000, the Huey, Mi-8 or Mig-21. There are of course lots of frustrating things such as missile behavior, but recent engagements in the real world show us that even in real combat sometimes things don't act as we expect them to (See recent Aim9 failure incident)

So does this mean the fishbed won't be updated anymore ?? I never really learned the systems was waiting for a rainy day.. is it accurate ?


Why do people think flight sims are nerdy???

I'm sorry i don't because if i want a pure flight simulator then i stick to something with a lot more depth....i don't know...something like P3D or XP with ....i don't know.... the whole world with tons of airport, procedures, dynamic weather...in other words diversity. Let's not even talk about vatsim or even pilot edge.....

DCS is supposed to be a military simulator which means flight simulation in a war environment which is exactly what it does really really bad.....unless you consider a simple military showroom good enough...

Maybe someday it will become what it should be but we are still pretty far from it. Not only it DOES NOT simulate war environment but also what it offers/does currently, runs bad and is pretty damn bugged and this happens from years and years so the excuse of 2.5 beta simply don't hold.
