en gros :Wags a écrit :DCS stands for “Digital Combat Simulator”. DCS is a world simulation engine permitting the user to operate or direct a growing number of combat and civilian aircraft, ground vehicles and ships, from different historical eras and in different geographical locations. It is a true "sand box" simulation. DCS started with the Ka-50 and A-10C, but has recently grown to also include the P-51D Mustang and, with Combined Arms, a ground command and control tactical warfare component. Future products from The Fighter Collection and Eagle Dynamics in the DCS line are in development and will include third party products for the first time.
The overall "simulation operating system" is termed DCS World and is a free program that includes a free Su-25T for the player to fly. All DCS products will plug into DCS World as unique modules within the same software installation. DCS products will not be limited to aircraft, but will include maps, missions, campaigns, environment objects, weapons, vehicles and ships. We even hope to look into a train simulation component in the future!
Third party products to DCS are supported by ED and there are already several qualified 3rd party teams creating new aircraft that will plug into DCS World. In these cases we leave it up to the developer to decide the level of systems fidelity, but we do expect certain "DCS Standards" to be maintained such as detailed and accurate models and cockpits, mouse clickable cockpit controls, and 6 DOF view control. Third parties are provided access to our Standard Flight Model (SFM), which ED can assist to adjust and improve to suit the requirements. Given the extremely complex nature of our Advanced Flight Model (AFM) in DCS we are currently unable to provide a SDK for 3rd party use. However, 3rd parties are also invited to offer their own Flight Models should it prove to be satisfactory.
In parallel, we are also developing Flaming Cliffs 3 (FC3), which will also work within DCS World. However, Flaming Cliffs 3 will require an installation of Lock On: Modern Air Combat to be present on your computer. FC3 will probably be the last version of this critically acclaimed product line.
Les produits DCS ne se limites pas qu'aux n'avions, il y a aussi les cartes, les véhicules, les armements, les bateaux:buck:, les missions, les campagnes..... Il n'est pas exclus de voir un jour l'intégration d'un simulateur de train......ils craquent
:exit: ah, non j'ai pas fini.....Les 3rd party devront respecter un certain standard pour être approuvées et validé par ED
.les équipes tierces travaillant sur les 3rd party ont accès au modèle de vol standard (SFM), par contre l'accès à l'AFM (modèle de vol avancé) de ED est chose actuellement impossible (pas de SDK réalisable à l'heure actuel, modèle de vol trop complexe). Les équipes tierces sont donc invitées à réaliser leur propre AFM (:sweatdrop bon courage les mecs).
FC3 est toujours en phase de développement et nécessitera la présence de LockOn Modern air combat sur votre PC (LO 1 installé, quoi). FC3 sera certainement la dernière version des lignées "LockOn/FC" :crying:lol

grillé le Greg... J'ai l'impressionn qu'on s'oriente bel et ien vers un simu tout terrain, avec de plus en plus de developpements tierces. Ca me va. J'attend pas beaucoup de certains addons, mais c'est a nous de choisir quoi piloter alors... Je regrette juste la restriction actuelle sur les AFM et l'absence d'un label pour les addons hardcore. Sinon du bon en vue a lire ca...et peut etre enfin la fin de flaming cliffs !
