Please give the Su-25T some love as well, remember it is the first impression for many of your potential future customers
they lost the source code so dont think that will ever happen XD
Source ?? Not that I don't believe it but that's a wild statement if true
how?@@Lovi07
@@Lovi07 its in the game. How can they lost it? Its a thing in your house, you can just always find it.
@@anvutrong6870 Exactly, the source code is right there! The models are right there!
FC3 BROS WE'RE SO BACK
We are back boys
Where barack
What's the point of actually playing DCS if you don't fly a full fidelity aircraft and control all the systems? You're basically playing War Thunder
@@vz6235 no not really in mean full clickable is amazing but we dont have a clickable f-15c or su-27
@vz6235 honestly it's no different. Yeah you don't have to click a million buttons to bring up certain systems, but the functionality is still basically the same. You're switching from one mode to the next.
Thanks for still focusing on FC3!
As a F-15C lover, I am extremely happy!
good luck if you find any difference because i didn't
@@theolduniverse What do you mean?
@@EagleFulcrum1, it's an update, it's not clear what it changed
@theolduniverse
I mean, I can already observe via this video that the textures are improved for the jets, especially externally
@@theolduniverse I did notice a small difference in the overall texture. They fixed the grayish washed out texturing of the cockpit. For instance, when you open the Canopy, there is a red Caution plate in the back lid of the canopy base, behind the seat. Before the update, you couldn't see the red AT ALL, the whole canopy frame was entirely grayed out, as well as the consoles and dashboard of the upfront console. Now we can see these textures much more faithful to their actual colors.
Unfortunately, though, the 3D mesh itself hasn't changed at all. The Stick is still missing a HUGE CHUNK of it's back part - or is that the front part? 🤔 - (where the trigger is supposed to be), the Throttle is also missing a lot of details, and the overall shape and size of the throttle grip is wrong, the Flaps Switch is STILL missing (it's supposed to be by the posterior-left side of the throttle base, next to the "Flaps Up Dn" label), there's still no throttle levers friction brushpads, like the F-15E has.
I also noticed, by examining the cockpit model in the DCS Model Viewer, they added a Normal Map texture for the Left and Right Consoles, but it seems the normal map is wrong, oriented in the opposite direction, (the normal map texture should be mostly blue colors, since the B channel is mapped to the Z/Normal coordinates of the faces of the 3D mesh, but the ones present here are mostly yellow, which means the B channel has a value lower than 0.5, which produces a negative/downwards Z coordinate) as if the 3D mesh is oriented towards inside of themselves.
Thanks for continuing to support the module pack that makes so many interesting scenarios possible because of its depth of coverage. 👏
Amen to that!
thanks ED for not forgetting about FC3. I enjoy them also as the FF Modules. They are perfect for me after a long day of work. Just to have quick fun. If you make some new flyable FC 3 Planes like Su-34 or MiG-25/31 you will never see me in the daylight again 😆
maybe an f111 or some sort of us fighter bomber too.
Su-34 and Mig-31 would be beyond awesome, but they are active yet, even the old version still being analogic would give important points about these aircrafts that the manufacture want to keep it for the pilots yet...
in future they will be here, mainly Mig-31 that is one of most loved aircraft in entire world
@@OV-10 Vark would be cool! I wonder if they could do a Spark Vark option.
F111 would be cool fo FF with a friend@@OV-10
I doubt they will ever release any new FC3 planes again.
On a separate Note, You Definitely need to give the guy making your promo Vids a Huge raise cause they are just next level recently.
Seriously. I'm not easily hyped but these get me EVERY SINGLE TIME. 💎
I agree, but now we will have to pay more for modules, because of some overpaid guy playing with vids in ED 😂
Thanks ED! the flight models of the FC3 jets are fantastic, we really needed that visual upgrade for VR
enjoy! - Scott / bignewy
Thanks for giving FC3 some major love
You are very welcome! -NineLine/Norm
FC3 is the backbone of DCS 🙂
FC3 is the shame of DCS
@@kzrlgowhy?
@@kzrlgo I beg to differ, FC 3 is the necessary stepping stone for *anybody who's eyeing DCS but feels intimidated by the complexity of FF modules.* Besides, if you want to get going and engage the opposing forces without having to start up for like 10 minutes or so it's the obvious choice. I do fly FC 3 assets quite a lot and didn't regret a second of it. It's a welcome upgrade. Long overdue by the way. 🎉🎉🎉
Yeah everybody starts on the Frogfoot then goes to FC3 then full fidelity. I always forget how important Flaming Cliffs 3 is.
Anything that helps new plays play and brings players/business is great for DCS this mentality is very closed minded. @@kzrlgo
SU-34 at 1:23 would be a nice fc3 addition.
They won’t do more FC3.
@@Tango-17 then a su34 full fidelity module would be a nice addition.
@@andres1945Not gonna happen. Its a modern Russian jet. The Russian government won't okay it.
Any red aircraft full fidelity will be a nice add, a true su27 also :)
@@chronosavenger mig 29 is coming!
Thanks guys hope to see an SU-25A update in the future also.
I love the Su-25A and hope it gets the same love soon. A wheel brake axis binding for it would be nice too :)
I second this! my favourite FC3 module
Yes, my FC3 life is 99% SU-25
Yeah, it would be cool if they fixed the ccrp bombs. Now only rockets are usable
@@jeffryb it is so good. MiG-29A, Hind, Su-25A is Redfor trifecta.
Su25 and Su25T need upgrade. I have a lot of DLC but still love this planes. This planes need more love!
Wow, this is great! Really hope we get a FC4 some day, or at least more low fidelity aircraft
Liked by ED… Is this a sign???
@@crazedpilot1a sign from the heavens above 😍😍😍😍
FC3 aircraft are like soldiers covered in medals.
Nice! DCS World, just keeps on moving forwards in Leaps and boundsin the last 3 years!
Keep on it ED we love your sim!
Thanks for the feedback! - Scott / bignewy
Now its time for the upgrade of the F-5E Tiger II, and UH-1H Huey ❤
Hey Eagle Dynamics.
Stop being so awesome.
How am I supposed to keep up with how amazing DCS is if you keep making it better?
Glad you enjoy it! and thank you - Scott / bignewy
awesome news. honestly i would love a flaming cliffs 4, 4 or so aircraft on opposing sides for an era, WW2, Korea, Vietnam etc. i grreatly enjoy DCS and play mostly MP and the biggest negative i can think of when comparing DCS to other sims is just the lack of theater specific aircraft to fight with. love all the full fidelity stuff but in my opinion and a few others i know, the lack of competitive theater specific aircraft takes more away from the game then the barrage of switiches and systems that we need to operate. anyway awesome effort and look forward to seeing this game continue to grow.
This is fantastic! hopefully the frogfoota get the same love as well...
thanks ED i hope i speak for most that we would love to see more fc3 type planes in DCS.
Yes please.
Well deserved update for amazing planes, now bring on FC4 Bombers :D
I started playing a few weeks ago and i must Say that FC3 is a great way to get into DCS.
Absolutly love flying the Su-27 and F-15.
And now a new Update. What a treat!
Thank you guys! Thank you so much for showing some FC3 love. Really fun modules to fly! We love'em!
You are very welcome, enjoy! -NineLine/Norm
Flaming Cliffs-the wieldy module in the game and the module most likely to encourage people to try everything. Truly "the backbone of the game", as it retains the most consistent legacy airplanes of the engine and the broadest representation of fixed-wing airplane operations on the most affordable package. This is the module that brings people into DCS and makes them willing to bite the 80 usd for a full fidelity module and really DCS would be served well having more airplanes like it. Sim-lite packages of minority interest airplanes like the Su-17/24 or Bf110 all of which would go a long to rounding out the battlefields the game attempts to represent.
Count me as one more vote for more modules and airplanes like Flaming Cliffs. Not everything needs to be full fidelity.
Thank you for you feedback, we appreciate it! -NineLine/Norm
"Hey, could you make a little soundtrack for this free update to aircraft textures? Nothing big"
The Soundtrack Composer:
FC 2024 upgrade for 9.99 yes! Thanks DCS for always considering your existing client base when releasing these titles that follow on from the originals.
Looks great! Thank you ED!
This was a really nice surprise. The FC3 planes are some of the most enjoyable to jump into. It's nice to have a slightly less mentally intense session and the Su25 is such a cool jet. Definitely noticed the changes on the A10A exterior and interior. The others are a bit harder to see but they do absolutely look more in line with the FF modules across the board. I have a feeling I'll be in some FC3 jets much more often than prior to the update.
I just took a screenshot of the F15C in VR...and looked at the exterior textures. Holy junk, guys. This is night and day. I wish there was a place to post them in a comment here to show the drastic improvement. Seriously amazing work, ED.
This is awesome! Thanks ED!
OH SHNAP!
I feel that by not losing focus on the core elements that so many of us get, when we come to DCS...you are reinventing the same products we fell in love with, for a future generation of pilots. Because i speak for many of us when I say, ED...you had me a long time ago. ❤ The quality of every video this year feels like '20xx and beyond.'
I can't get over how you hype me up every moment I spend time with you.
Whether online in the sim, or solo or even just watching UA-cam, and along comes something new from you....
It makes every day instantly gold. ❤
I bought this years ago and still fly the F-15. You folks rock. Thank you so much!!
Glad you are still enjoying it, thanks! -NineLine/Norm
I agree with @koki7473, thank you for continuing to improve already delivered products. That really says a lot about your business model. Makes me a bigger fan.
Thank you, we like to revisit older modules occasionally, it just requires free time from an already busy dev timeline. We hope you enjoy. Best regards - Scott / bignewy
There's nothing like DCS! ❤
This was really needed. Awesome, thanks!
Thank, you so much for this. I love these aircraft just as much as other DCS products. It’s nice to see them get some dev love.
Sweet! FC3 love!
Awesome! combined arms next please 🙏🏻
It's really nice to see work being done on the older modules : )
Much needed love ❤
This update looks amazing, cant wait to fly it once i get the chance, keep up the great work ❤
Very smart move, awesome job. Gonna fly my beloved Flankers even more !
Thanks ED! im starting up my PC ASAP ;)
Awesome, but dont forget the Su-25A please!!!!
Exactlyyyyy
The Su-25A is included in FC3, do you mean the Su-25T?
@@Gargolosono is the opposite
@@Gargoloso No, the A, but is not included in this update, at least for the moment, and it also needs some love.
@@PolluxPavonis but those clearly are Su-25A at 1:00 and 1:30 in the video, You can even see the cockpit without the Shkval screen...
Looks beautiful as always ED!
Notice that the MiG-29 wasn’t included because it’s getting its own full fidelity module. That makes me wonder, what’s the plan for the FC3 Fulcrum when the full fidelity version gets released?
The A-10A got a visual and flight model upgrade when A-10C 2 was released.
0.43 pretty sure that's a sneaky Fulcrum
0:15
@@_Zaidbut the a-10a and a-10c are different planes. this will be the same variant
I swear to GOD IF THEY DELETE THE OLD MIG 29 I'M GONNA LOSE IT AS THAT'S MY FAVOURITE AIRCRAFT.
(even pretty historical as it was my first purchased aircraft)
Omg I just started out on DCS with FC3 this is awesome xD
Even if I don't play with the FC3 aircraft anymore it is good to see that they are still getting some attention.
THANK YOU ED!!! I love the new look of the cockpits - amazing!!!
Must have taken a lot of work! Thanks ED💜
It's stunning that you get so good-looking aircraft for a very cheap price in DCS, Well done ED.
Its nice to see even 12 year old content getting updates
Amazing! Thank you!
Thank you ED, *this, for sure will lure in more newbies and keep the existing player base engaged.* In a good way. A very welcome upgrade indeed. Congrats! 🎉🎉🎉
Wow - thank you !!!!!!
Looking fantastic! Appreciate the love
This is awesome, thank you so much! 👍
This is fantastic news!
Thank you for constantly working, tweaking and improving this great program!
WHAT?! FINALLY THANK YOU SO MUCH ED TEAM
Well well well look who’s getting back in the su-27
Awesome you guys are the best!
Well I'm happy to hear about this! I just bought this last week for my birthday!
Just like to add my thanks. Looking forward to seeing the improvements when I get home.
I hope that older Modules like the UH1 gets some needed love soon!
Man I love FC3 modules! Good job DCS ❤
A surprise for sure but a welcome one. Thanks ED
Thank you for your work ! I'm new to DCS !
Welcome! Glad you found your way here! -NineLine/Norm
On inspection it’s a noticeable upgrade, especially in the detail of the dials and switches which look much better. The metal panelling and canopy rails of the cockpit interiors of these updated planes, still looks like painted cardboard in VR, but that said however I’ll take a free upgrade of any kind in a spirit of gratitude. So thanks ED and it’s good to see you supporting your older products 👏👏
That is really nice to hear. I have my Flaming Cliffs (2 I think) box standing somewhere on a shelf. An upgrade of the Su-25A would be great as well (a Full Fidelity Su-25, A or T would be awesome). But anyway, we are grateful for what is coming. Thank you.
Cool, FC3 is a nice start for new players!!
Эпичная презентация. Обязательно обновлюсь!)
THATS WHY THEY'RE THE GOAT!!! THATS WHY THEY ARE THE GOOOOAAAATTTT!!!!! Also please give us more FC3 content!!!!! You don't need full fidelity for full enjoyment!!
On the money, Brother! 🎉🎉🎉
these are the updates I LOVE TO SEE. The QOL in game is a huge deal when it comes to simulation. Please keep these coming. Excited for the bomb blast radius, better ground vehicle sounds etc.
Gorgeous jets and one heck of a beautiful trailer. Great job ED.
Thank you. Finally a little love for the flaming cliff...I hope they add more improvements in the future. greetings to that great team
Wow!!! Thanks ED!🎉 Great surprise
Great to see FC3 getting some love!
Nice thanks for doing this for free!
Excellent, great work 👍
Awesome guys, thanks!
This is one of the highest return on investment updates ED can make. Great way to make a good first impression on a new module buyer
Much appreciated ED!. Several of my favorite aircraft live in FC3. This is a nice & unexpected treat.
Heck yea this is great
Thanks ED! The best product ever created in the world! Respect to all Flanker fans in the virtual sky! Only the PL 12 missile is missing from the J-11A! 👍🙏💪💥💥💥❤❤❤😏
Thank you for giving fc3 some love the su33 being my favorite aircraft to fly i greatly appreciate this!
Well at least something.
I really hope we see more low fidelity aircraft in the future !
so nice to see love for FC3 . Thank you
Wow this is an excellent surprise! Will have to check out the FC3 improvements today...
Hope you enjoy it! -NineLine/Norm
Amazing work, thank you for all your hard work 👍
Thanks for all the support that allows us to continue doing so! -NineLine/Norm
Wow
I hope this is just the start of more FC3 upgrades !
Thank You!
I started with LOMAC, then FC3, It is good to see the updated textures. Thanks ED.
Fantastic 🌟 Thanks E.D
I don’t play the less than full fidelity modules myself, but this is great for the community as a whole!
I hope we can get a rework of the F-5 soon too!
The f5 is in desperate need of an update! I agree! Would like to get an f20 tigershark some how but thats a dream I may never see.
the F20 never saw saw service so it's highly unlikely. I think only one was built .@@EGLately
@@cyborgbadger1015 There's only about 20 KA-50s ever made, and the upcoming J-8 Peace Pearl from Deka was never produced outside of one prototype. It could be possible to get the F20 of documentation exists
@@biwwy7354 Deka can do what they want, I guess. Ka-50s is still an interesting module, and a ground base for the helos that came after it. Now, the F20 wa a dead end, no matter what anybody thinks should have happened, it didn't, and the F20 served no purpose.
FC3 IS THE BEST MODULE EVER AND I WILL GLADLY DIE IN THIS AIRSPACE
FC3 FOR LIFE
Sweet! I just setup a new FCS flight seat pro and added my winwing HOTAS, flew DCS for the first time in a year yesterday and now this, Thanks ED!!!!!
Aw man, we love you so much 💥💯
This is a really nice suprise
FANTASTIC!!
