EXCELLENT!
I've been waiting for a PFM for the Su-33 for YEARS. Very happy to hear this news.
I do wonder if the recent updates for naval aviation will fix the problem of helicopters sliding around on ship decks. One thing at a time old boy. It's probably going to make it worse, for now, but don't worry that will probably be addressed in 3-5 years
DCS Kickstarter Wags July 2014 "In this July 2014 update, the primary news is in regards to the restructured backer rewards. After a careful review of the older system under RRG, we found it financially unattainable." Wags October 2017 "the investment vs. generated revenue has been excellent for the World War II aircraft. In fact, the P-51D Mustang has twice the cost effectiveness of the A-10C Warthog."

I'll take an FC3 level F-16, Su-35, MIG-29K or Super Hornet any day of the week over an older, less capable plane that takes too long to learn. They also tend to come with a much higher price tag to...
+1 I would even settle for a FC3 level AH-64 A/D Anyway. Looking forward to PFM for the Su-33. With limited time the FC3 level is a good companion to one or two of the study sim level. Love the Gazelle and the Ka-50.

I admire your passion for finding something negative in everything that ED says or does Ice ... Thank you! I do work hard at this Yes you do Nate I am amazed you do not lobby for some green 'reputation' squares like ED's forums......surely with posts like this, not only are you wasting bandwidth but it proves how little the ED simulation community think of you now that you lost the official 'tester' status. Kind of makes me wonder......when was the last time you posted something in these forums that was constructive.....other than more wasted bandwidth in Toms spitfire skin Thread.

Kinda sad that all Nate can do now is just an occasional sniping attack.... and even then, he waits for others to make the opening move.

Sigh! I miss that beautiful cockpit... and that is one beautiful aircraft.... On the plus side, YAY for arrestor wire animations! Although it's not clear if we can see which wire he snagged, but I don't think they'll skip that one.
Thanks for sharing!

Ok,I'm not a huge DCS fan but I found that to be very impressive. I hope they add ground crew etc to make it more immersive.

You can very well get it now I've had FC3 for ages and is a very fun set of aircraft if you're not looking for full fidelity. I've not actually fought properly on the Su-27/Su-33 though... most of my flights were for fun or training or doing carrier traps.

Have FC3 too, just haven't dedicated any time to the Su-33... will have to soon...
Too much time in the Su-25 and 25T which are my preferred AC in DCS...
I remember in Flanker there was a mod to to the Su-25 which added to it a hook to make it into a Su-25UTG so you could takeoff and land on the Kuznetsov... that was cool...

I would pay for a MIG-29K, or Su-35S. Even if the flight models were based off of the -29S and -27S and guesstimated to feel more like the modern planes. But that would probably be too much, as the new planes have fly by wire and whatnot. Tom Clancys H.A.W.X have lot of modern planes to fly.

I don't think there are any aircraft in HAWX, just flying Call of Duty soldiers.

To be fair, some part of flightsim is still Call of Duty soldiers like looking around 360degree freely under sustained 9+ g.

The FM is being upgraded to DCS levels. For FREE. It's not a small thing. It is a small thing. Flight model updates are cheap and easy to make for the developers, despite what they are claiming. The main work amount and time for developing a module is for cockpit interaction, not the flight model. That is why we get these free updates, but we have to pay 50$ for clickable cockpit modules.
