DCS Su-33 FLANKER D - PREVIEW

Su-33 for DCS World
www.digitalcom...
The Su-33 has been the backbone of Russian aircraft carrier aviation since the late 1990s and is an all-weather fighter capable of engaging both air and surface targets. Based on the powerful Su-27 “Flanker”, the Su-33 is a navalized version suited for operations aboard the Admiral Kuznetsov aircraft carrier. Changes to the Su-33 include strengthened landing gear, folding wings, more powerful engines, and the very visible canards.
The Su-33 is equipped with a powerful pulse doppler radar and an Infrared Search and Track (IRST) for engaging aerial targets with a wide range of radar- and infrared-guided missiles and its internal cannon. For air-to-surface attack, the Su-33 can be armed with many types of unguided bombs, rockets, and cluster munitions.
Despite its large size, the Su-33 is very capable in a dogfight when combined with its integral helmet-mounted sight and off-boresight missiles.
Note: This is the exact same Su-33 that comes with DCS: Flaming Cliffs 3. As part of the DCS: Flaming Cliffs 3 series, the cockpit is non-mouse interactive.
Key Features:
- Professional Flight Model (PFM)
- Virtual Reality supported
- Highly accurate and detailed external model and cockpit.
- Wide range of air-to-air and air-to-ground weapons, including internal cannon.
- Modeling of electronic countermeasures and radar warning receiver.
- Realistic modeling of carrier landing approach system.
- Detailed and accurate simulation of the wing control surfaces that include the leading and trailing edge flaps and the differential ailerons. In addition to the conventional differential stabilizers, canard behavior has also been improved for more realistic behavior. The Flight Control System (FCS) will automatically reconfigure itself depending on the flight mode.
- Includes the wing-fold mechanism, reinforced landing gear struts, and the inclusion of high-gain nose wheel steering for use on crowded carrier decks.
- Correct physics for the arrestor wire and its’ interaction with the aircraft.
- The engines have a “special mode” that adds up to 12,800 kg of thrust (instead of the normal 12,500 kg of thrust). This mode also includes realistic operating time restrictions.
- Includes a special FCS mode used when aerial refueling. When in this mode and the control stick is released, the aircraft will automatically maintain level flight. This FCS mode allows fine-control and thus making it easier to make contact with the tanker within a pitch range of plus or minus 5 degrees and of a roll angle of plus or minus 10 degrees.
- The Auto-Thrust Control (ATC) is used for automatic speed holding and can be fine-tuned with a set speed switch. This can be useful with landing on the carrier.
- Inclusion of the automatic collision avoidance system (“Uvod” mode) that allows safe nap-of-the-earth flying.

Sometimes you gotta come back and watch these and just admire how far they've come in terms of performance and visuals. Outstanding!

[@BommerNZL]

yeah. here i am

[@andrewchr]

The only thing left to improve are the explosions. Everything else is simply perfect. Well done Eagle Dynamics. Definitely will buy this.

[@watermanpc85]

No, clouds need some heavy work also...

[@BobFlex827]

Sounds as well. The engine sounds were amazing in this video, but unfortunately that's not how they are in game.

[@antimonni]

Clouds and explosions are WIP

[@rayanalmaimani4392]

It's free isn't it?

[@hook86]

ED knows this, and it's repeatedly mentioned by them that it's planned. Not sure why it has to be repeated everywhere. Personally I like just enjoying the awesome new content presented by the video for what it is.

[@Krubarax]

Watcing for the fifth time straight. Tears in my eyes. *This is the most beautiful thing i have EVER seen*

[@PepsiFlyz]

then you would like my recent video :)

[@0Ignition0]

Nice!. 1:37 that explosion though... FXs need to be improved, expolosions and smoke.

[@HerrRiebmann]

I was thinking the same thing. Everything looks like 2017 except the explosions that are still 2008-ish...

[@Braeden123698745]

They're working on it, check out Wag's other videos.

[@aelderdonian]

No one wants unrealistic explosions, but you can't really argue that the current explosions look realistic or good. Imagine something like this: i.imgur.com/Wldg8cr.jpg

[@twandepan]

Lumen Spectral Hollywood explosions look like the space shuttle challenger explosion lol

[@1BassJohn]

THANKYOU! I've been shouting this from the rooftops for 2 years.. the explosions are a huge let down in this game.. I can see slight improvements lately though, as Braeden also mentions in this thread.. Otherwise I can't wait for ALL of DCS to look like 2.1+ does now.. .1.5 is just looking more and more obsolete.

[@giermash5279]

Hellreign82 So i guess there will be some new videos of 33 soon?

[@-_Nuke_-]

You guys know if the cockpit is going to be clickable?

[@francesboy2]

It 99% likely won't be. When the F-15C and the Su-27 got their respective updates they didn't get a clickable cockpit.

[@MikeLitoris66]

It wont. Its mentioned in www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/shop/modules/su-33_dcs_world/

[@Hellreign82]

...maybe

[@imbalos]

That cobra, and the music kicks in... Amazing

[@holkemann]

CAN YOU FEEL THE MERGE!? I was looking at the map and lighting the entire time!

[@martinlagrange8821]

With the new FC3 clickable cockpit mod, the Su-33 is brand new again - and remains totally awesome !

[@RevvinUK]

I keep coming back to watch this video, I grew up on flight sims on the ZX Spectrum in the 80's playing games like Microprose's Gunship and F19 Stealth Fighter and games like Bomber from Activision among others. Even after progressing to an Amiga 500 I could not imagine seeing even a CGI cut scene looking as good at this yet here we are with VR as well. In such a niche market ED has consistently delivered through the Flanker series, Lock On and now DCS World and long may it continue.

[@Opter_X]

Same here, Bro. Love flight sims since ZX Spectrum 48K & early PCs. =)

i believe dcs is the most ambitious attempt to simulate a confined war environment. it is an ongoing attempt and has a long way to go(dcs roadmap in ED forums is informative for their ambitions) we'll see nuclear submarines. and we'll experience more indepth combined arms and infantry combat, while pilots fight for the skies. but right now, besides the need of the inclusion of new effects, version 2.5 and beyond needs an updated shadow technique. cockpit shadows look like inca sacrificial daggers, regardless of ingame shadow settings.

I also just updated my SU33 and the Carrier take off crashes every single time from the ramp launcher area. I have to make Au turn and go to the back of the Carrier to get a run up that ramp.

[@jerrodcorey25]

Du Rocky Agreed....also some heavy video editing post processing going on here too. Actual gameplay never looks this good.....even on ultra high end systems.

[@jerrodcorey25]

Du Rocky They should also put in some portion of the video what effects , if any, are used in the video, or if it's "pure - actual" gameplay captured. Because it's kind of misleading to see HDR saturated video playback when gameplay doesn't look quite as vivid and sharp. I love it though, great video.
