wow, a real surprise to me. Really curious about how it will turn out, but good news for sure.

Hate to say this but please no more WW2, this Is why I liked DCS they did modern day. How about Korea or Vietnam? I cant see many EAFers flying DCS WW2 aircraft, the P-51 is out and hardly anyone fly’s it.

I think it depends on if they are able to create an WW2 Environment or not.

Exactly. Certainly nothing that we will see in a long time, but just imagine a ww2 scenario with DCS physics quality (and Combined Arms)

Maybe its were we are going. DCS provides the base for 3rd party developers to create the sim they want: ww2, Korea, Vietnam. That could accelerate sim development time.

I can dream, can’t I? :slight_smile:

I love that dream too Nepe, but the reality is DCS has only been putting out a new Aircraft every two years. How bout this new MIG 21 BIS been under development for a year now and still not released? Imagine how long it will take them to change DCS World to each Era.:rolleyes:

Sorry - this whole thing wasn’t supposed to be public yet. A single misclick on my part set in motion a chain of events of such epic proportions, who could have ever guessed. And well, here we are.

I’ve been posting on a Russian forum a bunch last night since that’s where the leak came out. Figured I owe it to you guys to actually post everything in English.

Here’s what I talked about in Russian yesterday:

  1. There’s a new project in development between RRG Studios (my company) and Eagle Dynamics.
  2. We’re making a new WWII flight sim.
  3. The general approach in the new sim is the same as in DCS: P-51.
  4. Cockpit workload, cabin systems, levers-buttons-gears, reliance on actual historical manuals, and the flight model, will be the same as in DCS: P-51.
  5. Modeling of various secondary internal systems, such as modeling the pressure inside each bend in the hydraulics, will be somewhat simplified.
  6. The landscape in the new project will be based on EDGE.
  7. The theater, planeset, screenshots, videos, etc – will come in due time.

And here’s some new information:

  1. Myself and a bunch of ED guys are flying in nice tight formation to the Flying Legends airshow tomorrow. We’ll go TSA on the vintage warbirds there. There’ll be lots of videos and photos.
  2. The official project announcement, alongside screenshots, videos, schedules, and the most detailed feature description you’ve ever seen on any flight sim ever, will come no earlier and no later than September 1st, 2013. The date is very important for the project. We cannot miss it. Be there.

Other than that, I won’t be revealing any more details until Sept 1st.
