DCS:- Warthog (A-10C)
Quote:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Just thought I'd start a thread for DCS:- Warthog as news about it is beginning to trickle out. SimHQ were at the E3 expo checking out Thrustmaster's new Warthog HOTAS, of course, how would you demo a ~€400 stick? that's right......... Special SimHQ Preview Hands-on: DCS: A-10C Warthog.. Some nice features unveiled, such as an interactive JTAC/FAC. Engadget were also at E3 checking out the HOTAS with DCS and LO:FC2 DCS Homepage & LO:FC2 Homepage Nate Last edited by Nate--IRL--; 02-21-11 at 05:05 PM. Reason: added pics |

This prolly something that's going to be finding a new home on my HD, right next to the now extinct pron collection and DCS:BS.

Aye, would probally get it too when it's out on hard copy (yes, I'll be screwed again by the localized version but I don't want to have compability issues between DCS: Black Shark and DCS: A-10 installations)

Compatibility? I thought they were separate games that'll work together in multiplayer, so the localizations wouldn't effect anything...

True, unless you can order it online or something.
It's good they don't localize games here (Except once that I've seen, and that was absolutely awful), I hate localized versions...

I think I just wet myself. Wait... Yep, definetly wet myself.
Let's see how much of the new features translate through to Black Shark. As far as I know, they're in fact modules; a core engine and world with aircraft "plugging" into that. Looking at the folder structure suggests as much. So at least the expanded map should filter through, to FC2 as well. Perhaps the JTAC (or russian equivalent) filters through as well, but I'm not sure Russia uses such systems to deploy attack helicopters.

Well, certainly the engine upgrades, maps and content will have to be updated into Black Shark if they're to be multiplayer compatible...

My goal of having a decent set of pedals and learning to PROPERLY fly the KA-50 before DCS: A-10 comes out looks dimmer and dimmer by the day...
Its not a TERRIBLE problem to have, but still not good.
