Wags states that they will be posting more video in the next week as they activate the various systems, probably the radar and targeting pod stuff most likely. Hornet to be up for pre-sale (not stated when) and to be released in the next few months in beta most likely. ED also opened up a whole new section on the forums and re-opened some of the old threads that had been made inactive while it was under development.

It's in the second video on this post. Sorry, should have made that clear.

Yay!...another module for the non combat static training simulator to fly over Las Vegas and Normandy, such realism, such immersion, can't wait.

At least it's an aircraft that is multi-role, carrier-capable, and thus, a lot of things to do for "training." biggrin

Well you can always play the other map, which offers more realistic real world scenarios. Did you complain about Falcon 4's map choice? Because F-16s have never been in combat over North Korea either. I understand complaining about the DCS shortcomings but this forum seems to be taking it to a new level of nitpicking as of late.

You mean these map choices?

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.

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.

Anyway, this is the DCS forum, not the BMS forum. Let's keep things about DCS in here.

The F-18 should be interesting, but I hope they support it well.

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.

Well, v2.5 isn't going to do anything about the lack of a dynamic campaign.

How can you be so sure? Are they unwilling, or incapable of providing a DC system?

Both unwilling and incapable.

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.

As opposed to how many maps ED has in the pipeline?

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.

I'm not the one who first brought F-16s in this thread. biggrin

Pushing buttons can be fun... as long as there is purpose to the button pushing!

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!!

Both.

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. 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.

Say what?? Is this true for the L-39? Any of the WWII aircraft (Spit, Bf109, Dora)? So are they only struggling with World?

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!! biggrin

I don't get why you guys haunt this forum, you clearly hate dcs, why not move on and play something else?

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

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.
