Very nice…

IMO it’s better to wait for MAC first.

Why would you wait if I may ask?

more planes in MAC than FC3

But FC3 owners get a discount on the MAC purchase…
Yeah, still probably it’s more efficient to wait MAC, overall.

Same price at release as FC3, no Starforce song and dance, and a few more planes.

Is MAC delayed? I think they’d said “autumn” originally, and while we still have a couple of months left technically I’ve not heard a more firm date announced, which they usually do when within 6 weeks or so.

As MAC has some birds I’m interested in but not enough to pay for the full versions (which I wouldn’t have time to learn anyway–I’m still behind on the 21 which I crowdfunded over 6 years ago, let alone the Viggen, Sabre, Harrier, or Hornet!) I think it’s worth it to me.

I think they were just getting the MiG-29 PFM tuned first.

Autumn was never firm, its still in work and going well, but not quite there yet, no firm date has been given.

Given all that surrounds the work of all those modules a delay is understandable…
:slight_smile: make it nice, that’s all that matters.

I wonder what got corrected about the MiG-29 input profile.

Throttle range?

I guess I misunderstood what MAC is to be then. It certainly sounded like just pared back versions of already released planes, which would imply little work needed to be done.

If it’s actually more than that, the info released so far failed in its objective to properly inform on what MAC truly is. :slight_smile:

Yes, to an extent it has evolved as it has developed, some other cool stuff coming along to it as well, I hope we can announce more of it soon as well we will have a full FAQ with it. People waiting for it will be happy I think.

Oh, well in that case it certainly improves the rationale for buying it beyond those like me who had interest in many of those planes but not enough to fork out for the full versions of each.

I shall wait for further info…because frankly there is literally nothing else I can do.

5 posts were split to a new topic: DCS Bottlenecks?

Hmmmm…I wonder if this had anything to do with that Air India incident? Inquiring minds…
