No. Other than pretty certainly ME features found in the A-10C/BS2 will be transfering over (and more, I'm certain, as well as MP compatibility, and compatibility with CA and Nevada) I don't think the list will be released for a while still. It may not be finalized or, to avoid problems with features that were desired being pulled (happens every time, don't sweat it ) there's an aversion towards releasing details until development is reasonably far along, as decided by whoever decides these things.

I would guess a new F-15C 3D model would not be a bad bet, but that's about all I could guess from publicly available material.

Hopefully it gets released this year, so it can breathe some life back into FC.

I suspect that almost everything that is part of A-10C/BS2 that isn't directly related to the specific aircraft will be implemented into FC3. The resource management stuff they hinted at in the announcement could be a nice touch. Not sure how many are aware of it over here, but they put a little file within the mission that appears to keep track of airbase resources. I'm curious if the A-10A will get any added benefit aside from the new 3d exterior model. Perhaps it will field the new CBU 87/97, but can't change the weapons settings. Honestly, the one thing they can add that will make me incredibly excited about the sim would be extra flyable aircraft. There are plenty of single seaters out there that could make for a great addition to the sim. Otherwise if its the same old aircraft lineup of the previous iterations, well, its gonna be a little long in the tooth.

Part of me is okay with the same lineup. It's like putting on an old pair of boots that have just recently been resoled. It's still your old pair of boots, but they're way more comfortable.

I agree there, but at the same time, I'd LOVE to see expanded A2G capability for the Russian fast movers.

The ones modeled in FC2 simply do not have such features. Maybe if ED decided to model newer aircraft, then who knows.

Agreed. Nothing broke my heart worse than the first day I bought LOMAC and realized they took everything that was fun about Flanker 2.5 out.

However, that said, the Russian a2G is much better now than it used to be. You can hit a building.

And they took away our Kh-41 from the Su-33. It was unrealistic, but damnit I had alot of fun flying missions with it.

I could read all the pages of this post but since most of the stuff in middle seems to be about anything but FC3....... Anybody have any news if all the flight models get an update. Love the su25 and su25T, the rest.....eh....ya.

I thought there were some tweaks made in FC2. The A-10 certainly felt a bit different from FC1, but I never did a real test to see how.
If you're talking Su-25-style AFMs, I think it safe to say that's not happening. My guess is FC3 will just be the planes from FC2 brought into BS2/A-10C's terrain and GUI with various updates of a more minor nature.
