Yeah, they are. ED are a talented bunch!
But the thing is, if they were really successful and could print their own money, someone else would want a piece of the actionā¦
Maybe we can pin our hopes to MSFS2020 to once again spread the joy of flightsimming to the masses? What we need is kids like we once were. The kind that couldnāt get enough of airplanes.
The general publics love of aviation is lost, and we need to find it again.
And until we do, there wonāt be enough flightsimmers around to split the bill.
On the other hand, I see almost daily new threads pop up on hoggit about how to this or that very basic thing in DCS, because they just found out about it, fell head over heels in love with it and want to know how to load the nevada terrain or some such thing.
The largest problem Iāve seen is with the AI. The AI FM is just so out of this world unfair that it makes it a bear to play unless youāre doing PvP.
I find that setting the levels in a mission is a must. Go up against 4 Exellent AI and you are done! I am setting leaders as high and wingmen as good. I am about to move up to all HIgh. But you need luck all the time. Im getting lucky in the Jug and the Messer lately.
What? You guys donāt throw TopGun quotes at eachother, all day, at your gig?
I have a friend who did a few years flying cargo in and out of HK. He promised me a rubberdogshit that he flew out of there, but never delivered. He got me all sorts of other crap, but all I really wanted was a genuine RDS flown outta HKā¦
I opened the Mustang Quick Start Dog fight mission over Normandy in mission builder. I mooved the aircraft over Paris. I added some weather. Textures Low, Scenery High works in this map. It was absolutely amazing. After killing the Messers i toured Pareee. Beautiful!
I actually forgot we didnāt have Manston on the Normandy map, and the other airfields should fill out the map nicely (particularly Biggin Hill, now we have London on the map).
