Oh i am sure i'll play the campaign and i really didn't give up on it completely, but before i start playing BOS again things do have to change a bit.


For tonight i am getting DCS:Huey and see if that Rocks my boat.
I know we can set up MP games so if anyone is interested Duke and myself are trying to get something going later today.

Hi guys! (yes, this is a shout out from the grave :))

Too bad to hear about the current state of BoS. When is planned to be shipped btw? If they've given an release date for it yet, that is?

Let me know if you do some DCS co-op. I probably won't buy the Huey as i'll rarely play it but I've got FC3 and BS2 with it. I might get the Mig21 as well.

Sure i was thinking of buying FC3 this week as it's only about 30$ at the cd key stores.

And considering it adds multiple planes i think i'm done buying modules for a while after fc3 is in my library.

And as all modules are compatible with each other we should be able to fly together anyway.

How about a co-op this weekend? Or even an evening during the week?
I know fc3 adds a couple of missions but we could also go for a community made mission.
Especially if there's more of US able to join this would be handy.

I had the idea of getting a group together and do some Streaming/filming for a promotional B2O 332 Squadron gameplay vid.
Considering a lot of the pilots are guys like us why not try to drag some in there.
This needs to be organized with a couple of members so that's a no go for short term sadly.

Yeah, they do mix up. The aircraft on FC3 have simplified controls compared with the study stand alone aircraft. So easier to pick up and get used to. They're releasing the FC3 aircraft is individual models for DCS:World at the moment as well.

I'd be up for just having a fly around, do some formation flying etc. It's been a very long time since I fired it all up and I could probably relearn the basics of the Blackshark and Su25 relatively quickly, the others like the A10C I've completely forgotten and would need to relearn which I don't really have time to.

Cool, that means more planes with CFM for less money!
Another excuse to buy fc3 :)

Been playing it a little since release. Not tried it online yet, just getting back to grips with it the easy way and flying the 190.

Apart from one issue I have were the toes on my CH Pedals aren't working correctly, it's a great game - unlocks aside.

I really, really don't like the single player campaign. And I'm not interested in PvP online play -> so nothing there BoS has to offer for me. FM does seem to have some fundamental problems, too.

Ya it's pretty sad that for such a promising title it really shit the bed on the home stretch.

So I'm starting to wonder what the difference is between BoS and CoD is, framerate?

The thing that gets me the most is that their telling us how to play the game which is nonsense. Had I actually known this is the way the final product would have turned out I would never have purchased it.

I purchased it for one reason and one reason only, to play with you folk via Coop; nothing more, nothing less.

As for Developer transparency that this SP leveling system was a core game mechanic, that too is complete bs.

...at least I don't remember seeing it stated anywhere when completing my purchase.

Not sure why you guys are so hard on it. SP leveling thing is a pain but you'd ditch what is a pretty solid sim because of it? Can't do locally hosted co-op being a reason to ignore it (you can still do AI only fights online)? A couple of incomplete FMs?

In time, just like IL2, third party content will arrive to flesh out what is missing and the FM mistakes will be cleared up. It's like shooting your dog because you don't like how is groomer cut the hair.

That's patently ridiculous mondo.

Grinding is grinding period and I hate in vehemently.

Also, this isn't a typical Alpha where you pay 20 bux or so and deal with the bugs to final release. We paid close to $100 and when we first purchased it we couldn't even play it because it could only be played/updated when their servers were online.

All we had in the beginning were a few flyable aircraft, no guns and nothing really to do but look at scenery.

Now here we are in the home stretch and their telling us how to play the game. Maybe you're ok with being directed how to use your software but I'm most certainly not.

...and I don't want to wait for mods to rescue the game from oblivion.

I don't care if they sprinkle sugar on shit, I'm still not eating it.

Besides, why the h3ll would I pay this sum of money to fly with AI, that makes no sense whatsoever? I want to fly with my friends as that's what got me hooked in the first place, maybe you remember those days because you were certainly there too.

I'm quite enjoying it right now. I don't have to much issue with what is going on other than the SP thing, I think back to IL2, IL2:FB and IL2:CLOD when they were first launched and this is night and day. I get why some are a little peeved about a few things but it's not like it's a shit with glitter on it, it's a rough diamond.

Duke, we can go online and fly together no issue right now.
