New games/DCS thread/forum

Lots of interesting posts on the old board, on with the new.

RAZBAM just started internal testing on their AV8B Harrier module. I'm hoping this foray into vertical lift will help them in the future with a possible F35B module, which would be balls, once they get their carrier working, making an assault ship/F35B USMC deal should be easier too. Good times ahead.

AV8B mod screen shots etc.

You always read what a tricky plane the Harriers have been to fly, should be fun for a sim, difficult and complex to manually work all the engine/thrust vectoring controls and such. There could be some great naval ops in DCS in the future, they are working on an updated SU33 and Kuz carrier module, then with the F18 and F14 coming and their carrier, add in assault ships for the Harrier - good times. We could have a US carrier strike force with the 18, 14, Harriers, and they are working on an A6 as well. It'd be cool if one of the helo groups does a Seahawk/Blackhawk as well.

So much future potential in DCS.

Just a thread for games is cool and the gang for me.

DCS = win this next year or so. They're going to sell that Hornet module like gangbusters, and IMO the F14 will even sell more I'd bet. That'll give them some resources to make even more cool shit. On the Blue Force server, it still bakes my brain what it's come to in the online sim world - it's amazing, back in my C64 and early days of Janes and Microprose sims, it's all I could have ever dreamed of. Now with VR, and in a couple years hopefully VR that doesn't look like shit in order to have it...good times.

RazBam's AV8B Harrier manual, at least a pre production/early access version is available to read if anyone is interested in getting ahead of things. I read a bunch of it this morning, going to be a great module.

The SU33 upgrade came out today, some cool new features and a better flight model. Messed with a bit in 1.5.

New AV8B video from RAZBAM. If you don't think this looks great, you're a big giant gay.

Don't buy a Rift then Storch. Rift + DCS = your kids saying "mommy, why does daddy have that thing permanently attached to his head, and why does he ignore us and the world for 15 hours a day".

I've flipped that on its head at hour place, when we get nieces and nephew guard duty, I put the Rifts on them whenever I need to be doing other things - keeps them entertained for hours straight.
