That is pretty easy to do when nothing you say actually comes true. How many times now have they said 'we will announce on xxx' only to delay it. How many times have they 'promised' videos, screenshots , beta releases and missed them by a mile.
I highly doubt if you put your car in for repairs and the garage did what these guys do you would compliment them on having candor and being forthright.
forthright - (of a person or their manner or speech) direct and outspoken; straightforward and honest.
I don't think you can call LN honest when they never actually do what they say they are going to do.

I never bothered with posts in reddit or twitter, who has the free time for that.

I suppose maybe Reddit doesn't suffer from mods with inflated egos wielding a ban hammer like they're on a spree shooting?
ironically the mods dont ban anymore... bing.
When all that is left over there, since the bannings and warnings have driven folk away....Bing

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."

Announcement will be at least 10 days into december, and if they reveal anything it will be released early march at first because they have to wait for the Mirage2000c pre-orders to get slow

[Re: Mustang60348]
Most of the team's focus has currently been on our two upcoming aircraft that are not the F-14. We hope to announce one of these, which is part of a larger project during the month of September, and the other in October.
We fully understand that it is frustrating to sit around and wait for an announcement of modules that are already so far into development; but I believe that you will all be very happy and very satisfied with the reveals coming up. We have been extremely busy for a good reason, so prepare to have your jaws collectively drop. (Hopefully, anyways )
As mentioned in a previous update, both of these aircraft (just like the F-14) have required us to develop new in-house technologies and components. We have also continued our work over the past few months to mature our in-house tools for easier analysis and creation of FM and system components. Most of these new technologies do however refer to in-game cockpit systems and avionics. Some have simply been time consuming, while others have been difficult in design, replication and implementation.
They include, but are not limited to for example;
Ground Mapping and Targeting Radar Complex missiles with Advanced Targeting Parameters Custom shaders for enhanced visual fidelity (e.g. CRT Screen representation) Unique visual features (In-pilot customization, etc.) New audio cues and enhanced fidelity Far more complex avionic and computer systems than in the MiG-21 New and unique PFM features and aerodynamic configurations New or unique methods of propulsion or force distribution
We're also investing a lot of time into auxiliary components that require a lot of care and attention to detail. These include Audio, UI Artwork, Documentation, Mission & Campaign building, Training packages, music and Web/PR. Usually these are done in the final stages of development; where the aircraft approaches a feature complete status.
The manual for one of our upcoming aircraft currently weighs in at around 350-400 pages; making it one of the thickest DCS manuals to date. Lots of fun, detailed reading for you all – but also nicely illustrates the complexity of our roadmap.
1. VTOL? HArrier? What russian jet can vtol? 2. Variable wing? Mig27? 3. Manual of 300 pages cant be a ww2 plane. so it has to be the other one. 4. Mig31? 5. I hope it is not a random swedish plane 6. Russian plane is more likely than US plane because there is already an f14, and a f18 by ED 7. Has to be a plane that was already in use in the laet 70s at best, because anything newer would be classified I think 8. Complex avionics, variable wings, ground radar, russian, more complex than mig21 = mig27 or su24

I think that is probably fairly accurate.
