There are multiple projects ongoing at Eagle and I thought a brief status report may answer a lot of questions:

1- DCS: Black Shark Patch. The patch is in-work and we still hope to release it in the next month or two. In the process of fixing bugs and adding new features, we’ve had to go back and re-do some of the multiplayer code. This has led to longer than expected development time.

2- DCS: Black Shark Localization. Aside from the Spanish version, all versions have been completed. However, the team is focused on correcting errors introduced when the French version was duplicated. The Spanish version is wrapping up localization and we hope to release it in the next month or two.

3- DCS: A-10C Warthog. Parts of the team are already focused on this project and more will be shifted to it once the Black Shark tasks are completed. Progress is good and we plan to release much more information about this come summer time.

4- Lock On: Flaming Cliffs. This franchise will see further development in 2009 now that Black Shark is wrapping up. Once details are hammered out, we will be able to provide more information.

More Lock-On? That is surprising amd pleasant news. I just figured that they were moving on with DCS exclusively. Admittedly I'm only playing Black Shark but I'm very curious to see what they will do with Lock-On.

Looks like First of June to the First of July for the patch. I might be healed up enough from my shoulder surgery to be able to fly by then. ANd depending on what they do with Flaming Cliffs, I might reinstall that also, to go fly the hog around a bit.

isn't it a bit weird that two different simulators from the same company will have the same plane (A-10)...

Same plane but it will be so different to fly and fight with the advanced FM and it being the A-10C with all the information that was gleaned off of the military sim they made. Might say A-10 in both, but they will certainly be like flying a new simulator.

RE:Lock On

If I was ED I'd expand the Lock On franchise as a sim-lite product line while releasing high detail products under the DCS name. They could use a lot of the external's, ground units, terrain etc for both, maybe even the flight models.

Unfortunately ED don't own the Lock On name, UBI does. LOFC will probably be patched and thats it.
