You're gonna have to help me out here on your point Scrim.

At the time of that video...Blackshark was already under developement...and yes...that seems to be a consumer level only module. After Blackshark and the video...there have been 3 major releases from ED:

A-10C
Nevada
L-39

These 3 releases seemed to be based on military/private projects ported over to consumers. What am I missing? What other DCS level module has been released with just the consumer in mind? I suppose you could make a case for the Edge engine...but it seems to be an engine that allows them to port their private contracts into more than anything else. I'm talking about ED only...3rd party devs for ED aren't what were talking about.
