And its just exciting to shoot, rocket, and bomb stuff well they have the tacpac thing, but they'd have to have a new modeling scheme for ww2 stuff . . .






DCS isn't going to be much competition for CLOD

in their FAQs they state:

the mustang can fly with or against the a-10 and blackshark,


Q: Will units from the world war 2 era exist, like ME-109's and Ju-87's?
A: That has yet to be determined. While we understand the desire for WW2 counterpart aircraft, DCS is not intended to be a full WW2 era simulation.

Q: Will a world war 2 era map be included?
A: No, DCS is an open simulation environment, it is not a simulation of a specific time period.

DCS don't plan on creating a dedicated WWII sim, but they're not stopping third parties from doing it ... watch the skies my friend

quoted for truth. BTW There is a rumor to suggest that once DCS world goes gold/live there'd be A LOT more planes coming out for that as well. No mention of the types though. Although, with Irissoft now coming in as a third party content station.... I'm definetly wondering if DCS is running away with the trophy that CLOD was supposed to get.

Now this is just fantastic news, I have quiet a few Iris addons for FSX and they really are top notch, DCS world is fast becoming the flight sim platform to watch, with all this third party involvement there's almost no limit to what they could do, njow all they need is a third party to start making new maps and I'll be the happiest man in the world.

Now REALLY is one the best times ever to be involved in flight sims, exciting times ahead for all of us

Lomac -- lock on modern combat:
Lomac was a blast for a jet sim, except that it too suffered from very poor programming.

Would be nice if it was updated with new textures, engine, and programmed efficiently.

You mean, like Flaming Cliffs 2?

Or the mentioned DCS ( digital combat simulator )

ParaB,
I was not aware of Flaming Cliffs 2. Have you seen any comparisons particularly FPS between theFC2 and the original LOMAC?

My interest is piqued. We loved LOMAC but it really needed updating and improved FPS.

[ParaB]

No idea. But I never had any kind of performance problems with either FC1 or 2. Also keep in mind that today's PCs offer vastly more performance than the systems we used in 2003 when LOMAC was released.
