Post sur REDDIT - DCS developpement

Message par HiCKS »

Bonsoir,

petit post à voir sur reddit, très intéressant : suite au mouvement d'humeur l'année dernière, nous avons droit à un point sur le dvp de la bête.

C'est sympa et permet de se projeter un peu sur quoi attendre de notre simulateur militaire.

Dear Community,

We read you, we hear you, we listen to you and we are working for you! Thank you for being with us and for your help to improve DCS World.

You feel that modules get more attention because there is something new with every update for the modules. DCS World is a different beast. It takes time, a lot of time to research and develop. Sometimes we have no idea if we can do it but we try. Sometimes we want to deliver and fail. That’s life. Sometimes core team needs more love from you to be encouraged in their long-term projects.

I read that ED promise and doesn’t deliver. You wait for some core features for ages… so do we! It’s already a third time we want to deliver clouds and the first two attempts were not successful for us. But we keep trying. It’s easy to say that you can do it because others can… Well, it works in a different way because we have a lot of legacy code, a lot of spaghetti code and want to improve it with a new generation of DCS World. How ambitious you are when you start doing some new task? Well, we love new tasks but if the code has thousands of related pieces it becomes a nightmare. Sometimes it’s better to leave it as is. We had many talented developers in the past who wrote the code and left the project and now we see that we need to refactor it or rewrite completely. It’s the challenge that all long-term projects faced. Do you know how many our former developers are working in other well-known by community projects? Well, we still have their code and treat it with respect even think it could be better.

Today I would like to publish the information to stop all speculations about ED working on modules instead of core features and all the comments on how many of us are working on what.

The lists below show the current situation. Each point (project) has its own team and ALL of them go in parallel.

Current projects in active development phase:


DCS Core:
Ka-50 cockpit update bug fix This week
2.5.6 preparation for the stable release Near Term
Damage Modeling for WWII Aircraft Near Term (some unknown issue may appear)
Weapon improvement (missile dynamics, new AI units, etc.) Long Term, to be delivered in iterations
Voice chat Long Term, to be delivered in iterations
Dynamic Campaign Long Term
DCS Graphic Engine:
Special effects update Near Term
Lightning Near Term
Terrain improvement Middle Term
Multi-threading Long Term
Vulkan API integration Long Term
Modules:
Fw 190 A-8 Release Near Term
Huey Multi-crew Near Term
Supercarrier EA Near Term
P-47D Thunderbolt EA Near Term
The Channel EA Near Term
WWII Asset Pack update Near Term
Mariana Islands Mid Term
F-16C Viper, F/A-18C Hornet Mid Term
Modern Air Combat Hope - Mid Term, but still can be Long Term

It’s 20 small and large projects in my pipeline. However, it doesn’t mean that we have too much in the basket. It means that we have different competencies in the team and the plan to grow.

Projects that are in the passive development phase (waiting for a 3D model delivery, developers allocation, reference gathering stage or one of the current active project to be finished first):

DCS Core:

Damage Modeling for modern aircraft

Aircraft AI

Airfield ATC

DCS Graphic Engine:

Clouds

Weather update

FLIR

Air-to-Ground Radar

Modules:

Mi-24P Hind

A-10C Warthog II

Yak-52 Release

Ka-50 Black Shark 3

Mosquito FB MK.VI

ED has 5 aircraft and 0 terrains in Early Access:

F-16C Viper

F/A-18C Hornet

Fw 190 A-8

Yak-52

WWII Asset Pack

We plan to deliver all of EA products in Release this year.

However, Hornet and Viper are pretty complex and have many features to add. We analyzed the list from Unofficial Road to Releasehttps://www.reddit.com/r/hoggit/comment ... ease_2020/ and took some points into account.

Yes, the F18 team is working on F16 as well - 50/50. It’s the most efficient way because the projects are similar for us from a development point of view. We want to have consistent and close aircraft. So, yes, it’s one team.

I hope this list will make you feel more informed and comfortable. We will not be able to deliver everything from those 2 lists this year but we will try to reach as much as it will be possible.

Thank you for your time, passion and support.
