Did you complain about Falcon 4's map choice? Because F-16s have never been in combat over North Korea either. You mean these map choices?

At least it's an aircraft that is multi-role, carrier-capable, and thus, a lot of things to do for "training." I'm still waiting on 2.5, (whatever that turns out to be) I just don't see any reason to plug another module into a broken undeveloped engine with no dynamic campaign, spend countless hours learning to fly it, then have nothing to do with that knowledge other than fly scripted training missions, the novelty wears off very quickly. DCS World is a hand me down training sim, there's more to life than pushing buttons.

How many of those actually work, it looks like half of them are WIP's and the rest of them have technical problems judging from the posts. As opposed to how many maps ED has in the pipeline? I once installed a non-korea theater into BMS but wasn't impressed, but that was around 5 or 6 years ago so things may have changed. Not really able to help you without you being specific. Israel and Balkans theatres are awesome. Still some bugs here and there, and as with everything Falcon, there is a little dance needed to get stuff to work. Anyway, this is the DCS forum, not the BMS forum. Let's keep things about DCS in here. I'm not the one who first brought F-16s in this thread. DCS World is a hand me down training sim, there's more to life than pushing buttons. Pushing buttons can be fun... as long as there is purpose to the button pushing! Well, v2.5 isn't going to do anything about the lack of a dynamic campaign. Yeah, ED aren't interested at all with giving the customer what that customer wants, even after asking the customer what he wants and the customer giving a clear reply. Then again, ED is struggling enough just getting "regular" stuff out the door, heavens help them if they decide to tackle a DC!! How can you be so sure? Are they unwilling, or incapable of providing a DC system? Both. Back on topic, from the few F-18C videos I've seen (especially the one with Wags) I'd say we're a few months off from early access. Lord knows how much longer beta will take; let alone the actually finished release. True! Even then, who know what state the alpha or beta will be in and how fast progress and fixes will come, and how many steps backwards they'll take before inching forwards. Still, all we can do now is speculate. Time for ED to step forward and show us what they can do. Time to get the game face on!!

ED seems to be fairly competent and reasonable with their early access modules. At least for the planes. Typically they're in for only 4 months and they're fairly polished Say what?? Is this true for the L-39? Any of the WWII aircraft (Spit, Bf109, Dora)? So are they only struggling with World? Maybe the F-18 will take longer due to the many avionics, but I'd think it will be similar. The main issue seems to be some 3rd party modules as well as the terrian DLC. The main issue is DCS World. Maybe the reason 3rd parties are struggling because World keeps changing and changing and changing across three fronts. As to the F-18, I sure hope you are correct!!

I cant see any posts directly saying that hate DCS, but it might have missed that
At a guess I would say that most here like DCS and care what happens to it But sadly the pure retarded decsions that ED seems to make do warrant some negative comments
Or one could take the same view as you and say if you dont like to read comments that are negative ...... dont read them or reply to them

I don't get why you guys haunt this forum, you clearly hate dcs, why not move on and play something else? Are we really going down this road again? Must I do this for each and every user in this place? TL;DR - I don't "haunt" this forum, I also post in numerous other places, your assumption that I hate DCS is wrong, and I do play something else.
