Food for work that just works better—again and again
DISCUSSION
A note on flight models; Some of you WILL find problems. It’s inevitable. I flew the Kiowa for weeks and didn’t have an issue; day one of release I found one. It’s going to happen. And this is not a “Kiowa” problem; it’s a DCS module/ any video game anywhere problem.
The question really is; how will you handle it? Provide data to the team. Let them see what’s happening and make the required adjustments.
What many do not understand is how this stuff is done; it’s months of tweaking values. “This feels off, let’s tweak that”. Well after a while those small tweaks can cause issues elsewhere; issues that are then retested and tweaked again… which can cause other issues.
MANY, many testers at both ED and PC ,in this case, touch these modules. They spend weeks, months, going through this process. It’s unfair to find edge case issues and point to a lack of QA. It’s simply ignorance of the process. The ED testing team worked ridiculous hours trying to find those edge cases.
Find issues and report them. That’s the responsible thing to do. That’s how we make a better game and have a better product. 💪🏼
Especially after the recent drama on here on the KW FM video and the absolutely unhinged rant by some crazy person directed at Sven in the Polychop discord, people need to chill out and stop acting like it's the end of DCS and flight simulation as we know it. Take a deep breath, step outside, get a milkshake, and then fly the plane like a normal person and have fun with it, instead of hunting for reasons to hate it.
