Dai su..... è un mini update
La cosa buona è che hanno assunto altra gente e diviso i team cosi abbiamo un team completo dedicato al 16...... ecco perchè negli aggiornamenti precedenti non era quasi mai presente, c'erano 2 gatti che lavoravano al viper con l'aiuto di qualcuno preso in prestito dal team dell'hornet... :uhhuhh:

Un po' meno il fatto che sia un upgrade a pagamento
EDIT: battuta a parte, se fosse il mio modulo principale pagherei senza il minimo problema. Se solo penso a quanto abbandonato sia il Mirage ormai...
Cosa ti manca sul mirage? suvvia non lamentiamoci di moduli che sono funzionanti quasi al 100%

Cosa ti manca sul mirage? suvvia non lamentiamoci di moduli che sono funzionanti quasi al 100%
Sapevo che ti avrei solleticato con quel messaggio
Guarda... parlo più da "cliente" che da "praticante di simulatori". La sensazione che mi dà RAZBAM di avermi abbandonato non supportando praticamente più il Mirage è odiosa. Lo so che è quasi completo, ma ci sono tante piccole cose che annoiano un po': su tutte, il lock che funziona coerentemente solo in B Scope, altrimenti devi "azzeccare" dove dovrebbe essere il bersaglio; poi key bindings non funzionanti o mai implementati, altre stranezze sul radar che ogni tanto escono fuori (l'altra sera con Caronte ero dietro di lui in visual a 3nm e il radar non diceva nulla, come ho messo il Bore l'ha preso al volo... ed è successo per due volte). Insomma ogni volta che succede qualcosa di strano non mi sento "sicuro" di essere io il problema, e mi ritrovo a chiedere "ma sono io o è un bug?". Ecco... è di questa sensazione che parlo. Motivo per cui non prenderò più in considerazione un prodotto RAZBAM prima di vedere da parte loro un deciso cambio di direzione in generale nel loro modo di lavorare. E quando e se un giorno arriverà mai l'LCR per me sono molto tentato dal cominciarne subito un altro su altro modulo. So che tu mi dirai che tanto i bug stanno ovunque... ma ripeto non è il bug il mio problema.
Boh io in verità sono molto felice, il radar è finalmente ad un livello di efficacia decente, dopo un anno di contatti che spariscono randomicamente adesso ho sempre la percezione di vedere ciò che dovrei vedere e quando non vedo spesso l'errore è mio, o comunque potevo far di meglio.
L'RWR che già era buono adesso è decisamente migliorato. Resta l'unico modulo che permette la transizione BVR WVR full head up. Ha ancora il blocco dell'elevazione, ma tanto con la nuova modellazione del radar è da polli tenere 120° quindi non è un grosso problema.
Le nuove simbologie dell'hud legate al Magic sono fantastiche, molto più consistenti. (ricordo che per molto tempo il box scompariva in determinati frangenti). Il modello di volo è consistente e privo di bug ridicoli (vedi effetto suolo dell'F18, sbacchettamenti F-16, super-roll-rate e invulnerabilità-G F-15, dubbie prestazioni di accelerazione, portanza e invulnerabilità18+G dell' F-14) inoltre è stato rimodellato il motore, molto più lento a riprendere giri, affoga un po' come quello dell'F5.
Razbam ha i suoi tempi, ma come tutte le terze parti, non molto diversamente da ED si trovano costrette ad imbarcarsi in progetti multipli per tenere il bilancio positivo e continuare a sfornare ciò che noi appassionati amiamo, a far tutti contenti non ci riuscirà mai nessuno.
La roadmap dell'F-16 ne è la dimostrazione: se fanno il maverick invece di sistemare l'avionica di navigazione a me girano le palle. Se sistemano la navigazione e non fanno il maverick girano le palle ai bimbiminkia. Loro sono di più, i soldi comandano, la RAZBAM fa l'F-15E.

Mah... dalla lontana Lozère, ti rispondo che secondo me, l'approccio da talebani che hanno un po' su tutti i moduli, che siano ED o altro, mi stupisce sempre e non in positivo. Perché ci si debba sempre limitare per rispettare il dogma del realismo spinto alla noia, proprio non lo capisco e non lo capirò mai... quando leggo di Falcon che vorrebbe che si sviluppasse prima l'avionica di base ed i modelli di volo e non i sistemi d'arma, mi cadono le braccia ed un po' mi viene da ridere... certo ha ragione a dire che sicuramente sono più importanti questi aspetti, ma poi mi dico: e perché mai non si può avere entrambi? Mi spiego meglio: sarebbe molto più logico che effettivamente i team di programmazione si concentrassero sui modelli di volo ed avionica propria di ogni modulo, ma al tempo stesso non si capisce perché non si possano avere i sistemi d'arma tutti implementati basandosi sulle simulazioni già operative su altri moduli? Quelle del 16 o di altri moduli sono differenti? Ok mi sta bene, comincia a buttarli fuori come li hai e poi li affini secondo le peculiarità di ogni velivolo. Perché? Perché in questo modo daresti piena operatività ad ogni modulo ed in ogni caso non daresti ai clienti un modulo arcade perché comunque basato su avionica e sistemistica certamente realistici anche se magari di provenienza diversa da quella del modulo, badate che non è inusuale che questa cosa accada anche nella realtà molti blocchi di velivoli operativi non hanno disponibili alcune funzioni o modalità che al momento della loro uscita derivano ancora da velivoli "vecchi" e vengono aggiornati o sostituiti nei vari upgrade della vita operativa del velivolo... che senso ha, per esempio, avere disponibili sul 18 le gbu-38 e 31 e non avere le gbu-32? Ma dai... sul 120 penso abbiano fatto più cambiamenti che altro e allora? E allora fai contenti tutti, bimbi minchia e non, adottando un modello di sviluppo meno talebano e più evolutivo...
Il codice di cui parli è vecchio, e non integrano il vecchio codice in ciò che stanno riscrivendo ex novo, via via che affrontano una implementazione di qualcosa di pre-esistente, questa deve integrarsi con un codice scritto nel 2020 che è diverso da quello scritto nel 2015, e a quel punto colgono la palla al balzo e la riscrivono nuova. Questo è un lato positivo perchè stanno tentando di aggiornare il simulatore mentre portano avanti i moduli. Se non lo facessero il simulatore morirebbe quando tutta la montagna di codice sarà troppo obsoleta e troppo enorme perchè possa venir aggiornata.
Aviators ha scritto:A queste domande pongo sempre la solita domanda:
Se loro sono sviluppatori e sono riusciti a creare un'azienda del genere e noi no, ci sarà un motivo
è il loro lavoro, sanno quello che fanno e come farlo. (pro e contro per tutti noi altri)
A questo aggiungo il mio umile pensiero, da manovale del codice quale sono nella vita vera, prima di entrare in cockpit: come si intuisce anche da ciò che dice Falcon, un simulatore del genere è un prodotto di una complessità mostruosa, proprio dal punto di vista dell'ingegnerizzazione del software. Inoltre DCS parrebbe avere, da quanto si dice, un forte debito tecnico dovuto ad un'alta percentuale di quello che solitamente viene chiamato "Spaghetti Code", cioè codice di qualità... non eccelsa che però è stato reso necessario rilasciare pur di avere un prodotto da commercializzare. Quasi sempre un approccio del genere, sicuramente poco lungimirante, porta ad avere prodotti difficili da mantenere e soprattutto da far evolvere nel lungo periodo. E tutti noi sappiamo che ogni volta che ED rilascia un aggiornamento c'è da farsi il segno della croce e sperare che per fixare un bug non ne abbiano introdotti cinque.
Io sinceramente ho una gran fiducia in ED, perché nonostante siano arrivati al 2020 con tanti problemi, sono molto aperti nel riconoscere questi problemi e nel volerli risolvere al meglio. Certo non sarà fatto in un mese, o tre, o sei... Ci vorrà TANTO tempo, perché la mole di lavoro per uscire dal vespaio in cui sono è probabilmente ancora più grande del ricominciare tutto da zero, cosa che comunque non possono permettersi. Però io ci credo, e sono con loro. E poi parliamoci chiaro: quale sarebbe l'alternativa, BMS a parte che ha comunque è un prodotto mantenuto dalla comunità e che ha delle profonde differenze rispetto a DCS?
