Wow, so much lies in one post!! E3 2017 is set for June 13-15... that's just a little over two weeks from today. See the state Normandy is in? And weren't they halting work on the Hornet until AFTER Normandy comes out? So what state of development is the F-18 really at? Will this be something people can play with and have a fiddle around? Or will it just be some videos "showcasing" the F-18? The post isn't really clear but even if it were, well, so many lies are present anyway... the DCS: F/A-18C Hornet will set a new benchmark Benchmark for what? So far, they've only been setting benchmarks for things NOT to do, for how to NOT manage a project, and for how to NOT handle their customers the next level of combat aviation simulation It's only "next level" if your current level is really low. To be fair, it doesn't say that there are other sims where their level far exceeds DCS... Our dream is to offer the most authentic and realistic simulation of military aircraft, tanks and ships possible "We are having loads of trouble achieving that dream, despite 10+ years of development..." The free download includes a vast mission area of the Caucasus region and Black Sea that encompasses much of Georgia Which has been available since... LOMAC? 15-18 years ago? the famous WWII North American TF-51D fighter Ah yes... a combat flight simulator offering a free aircraft with the "combat" part removed from the aircraft the most powerful mission planner ever designed Pffft!! Hahahahaha.... full network play Is this still really a "feature" at this day and age?? Might as well have listed "program installation via command prompt" permitting you to plan and play highly sophisticated missions After hours and hours and hours of work to fly a mission that lasts one hour. Also, how do you like watching a movie where you've written the script, cast the actors, designed the scenes, did the camera work, done the editing, done the promotion, and still expect to be wowed once you watch it for the 1,000,000th time, only this time it's in the cinema? DCS World is massively extensible Just don't expect everything to play nice with each other DCS is a true "sandbox" simulation that is also designed to cover multiple time periods of interest such as WWII, Vietnam, Gulf War and others This is evidence of ED living in the future... did they get David_OC to write this spiel for them? As examples of products progressing to completion for DCS, "Normandy 1944" is in final phase of development and "Persian Gulf" is close behind Hahahahahaha!! Normandy is in final phase of development indeed!! Hahahahahaha!! "Close behind" may also mean 8-10 years from now fundamentally a deep, authentic and realistic simulation game
The only next step is the real thing Nope, sorry. Try again.

I am interested in the new theater and hope there will be some historically relevant missions, campaigns, MP scenarios ie not both sides with F-15s and Bf-109s flying on the same map... Also interested in the carrier ops. Carrier ops is pretty complex - ie recovery patterns, marshal stacks, push times, foul deck, wave offs, bolters etc... will be interesting how they do this considering how poorly ATC works at the moment...

New theatre, do you mean Persian Gulf? If so, let's put this a little into context. Nevada existed in DCS A10C during Beta 2? Or Beta 3 period? Anyway, late 2010. We got it again as Alpha on December 2015. Currently, it is still in "Early Access"... let's call it Beta. 7 years after it was first seen, it's still not finished. Have we even seen Persian Gulf yet? I'll leave you to your conclusions. Funny how I came across this newsletter in my digging around.... this is dated December 2014. THREE years later and a map module is still in "Early Access".... a **MAP** Good luck with Normandy. Looking forward to the 12 years pre-alpha period. I am sure I will play ArmA3 and Falcon BMS those 12 years. You think we can move into BMS VR by that time?
