Well, I don’t think you’re far off the mark…
DCS:WWII was Ilyas project and he seemed prone to name dropping.
Maddox, Grey and TFC, ED with Tishin and Wags, etc.
Hard to say how much they were involved, but I think it’s fair to say that the Kickstarter promised too much and brought too little to the project.
The Kickstarter got them almost $160K. Wags stated that just the FM of the 109 cost about $120K.
But I got the Normandy map, with assets and 5 modules, for my $100 pledge.

Man I want a P-38 ingame.
It has been one of my favourite WW2 planes for a long time.

The one in IL-2 Bodenplatte is awesome!

No clickable cockpit, no buy.
I think I just cannot go back from that.
I could for a short time during the IL2 days, but ever since MS CFS1 let me fly warbirds with clickable cockpits the non-clickable cockpits stopped feeling right.
And DCS reinforced that.

And I would kill for RPG stats in our current offerings. Gives you goals to strive for and focuses the narrative.

Oh I agree!
What I didn’t like was “how” it was implemented in CFS3.
Pilot’s stats in Falcon 3.0 was how I found out I’m OCD.
Yeah, I miss that in the IL-2 BoX series. It’s especially nice in VR.
But I find that I can operate the WWII birds with HOTAS and a few button boxes.
But DCS with PointCtrl is incredibly immersive.

We only derail threads to maintain interest until new information comes along.
Horrible graphics! What sim is that? Must be VR because of the resolution.

Yeah, background artist and ground modeler should be executed- such a bland environment.
or as someone else said–
“Real world needs a graphic overhaul!”

Just wait for “real world version 2.0” it’s amazing… Should be here in two weeks in early access…

It’s pre-alpha already! The cooperation algorithm is quite buggy though, the AI keep fighting over shiny metals, liquidized extinct lifeforms and where imaginary lines are. We designed it for mass multiplayer action and adventure, but most people stay in their tutorial zones.

I got the “Wife 1.0” DLC in the late 1980s. Big mistake. Totally buggy, horrible UI and don’t even get me started about the memory leaks! After a few years I upgraded to Wife 2.0 and have been very happy ever since.

I hope it was a clean uninstall, I hear they can be quite messy!

That would be Dart.
The graphics of the Real World could use an upgrade. While the cockpits were rendered beautifully, my first flight was set to Summer Haze, reducing the draw distance considerably, desaturating colors, and was generally disappointing in appearance. Objects on the ground tended to “pop up” in clearings of the forest as we approached; in fact the Shelby County Airport itself did this, suddenly appearing as we approached from the west. Today was much better since we had some wind to make things crystal clear and the vibrant greens and browns came out, but the light scattered clouds had an obvious repetitive shape, especially a low layer that looked like the teeth of a saw blade pointed upwards.
Draw distance for other aircraft needs to be improved. While I spotted a helicopter at five miles, it started out as a small black dot above the horizon and was very slow to resolve to a recognizable shape. A white Citation was invisible to both the instructor and me even though we were told where it was until less than a quarter mile away — and it was only 1000 feet lower than us! Something is screwy when you can’t see a white plane over green forests at one o’clock in the afternoon in clear skies.
Flight Modeling is suspect in the Cessna and control response likely wrong in CTLS. To be blunt, the Cessna 172 flies like it is on rails! Just about everything is under done, from adverse yaw to entering and exiting turns. In the CTLS, the elevator response to control input is exaggerated; one need only apply the slightest back pressure to induce noticeable pitch either way, and there is no menu to adjust input curves. While it is much livelier than the Cessna, it remains in many ways much easier to control and keep flying than anything in a combat flight simulation.

Crazy how that article will be a decade old this year. I remember him writing it just like it was yesterday.

Indeed! I ended up having to continue monthly payments, long after I had deleted the software from my hard drive. I am still very wary of subscription-based applications.
