Currently the only aircraft I'm interested in is the gazelle. Even then id rather wait for the hind

I'm so looking forward to this bit of the newsletter....

"Next week we will share some new information about Modern Air Combat (MAC)"

been a while since we heard anything regarding FC4 (rebaged as Modern AIr Combat) where users who own FC3 will need to rebuy the upgraded version of FC4 (MAC) to enjoy all the fabulous updates to the flight models which ED began to offer as free updates to aircraft in FC3.

Then there is the Supercarrier 'module'....Coretex designs when they were issued a 3rd party license for the F-18E\F hornet offered the supercarrier upgrade for free (like Razbam with the harrier). Now it seems with ED's version of the hornet, this 'module' will be a paid version and include all the bells and whistles promised by ED's endorsed but now defunct 3rd party licensed developer CTD (crash to desktop) design team.

I may be wrong but that last sentence of the newsletter raised some eyebrows.

NineLine.....are you able to give an update for the future development of DCS world? Rumor has it over at mudspike regarding space shuttle simulations. SkateZilla has dropped hints that ED are looking at a kerbal space type simulation. I know SkateZilla loves a good 'space dock' from previous posts but is there any truth to his antics?

'DCS out of this World' perhaps.....imagine "space docking" in VR. Now that would be a sight to see in 4k.

Digital Combat Space Dock.....VR with ccip/ccrp modes only. Now that would raise ED's revenue

Good luck with this one.

Hope you get some revenue to finance completion of the F18 I bought last year.

Think I might just buy the I-16!

I'd buy the F-18 for $40, maybe. Just don't have the time for something this detailed and something that still is WIP.

I'm a romantic at heart, and far be it from me to get in between whatever you two have going on

As far as I am aware they were never able to get to a point where a licensed was issued. All other promised content from them I do not know, I only knew about the Hornet they were trying to do.

Interested in the F-16. Will wait on in it a little while to its completed. Really interested in an AH-1F Cobra though

Got the Hornet, should had made the move sooner, love it Feels cool to fly it with Canada's skins since I'm Canadian

Marc..

I'm waiting for AG radar and TWS, then I will get the Hornet. Hope I don't need to wait long, but think I will esp for the AG radar, which there never seems to be any news about.

Buy it now mate. Nothing wrong with it. Couple of missing features here and a couple of missing features there, but otherwise it is a worthy investment.

If TWS is done right, you'll prefer to use RWS/STT anyway. And if the AG radar is done right, you'll prefer to use the pod.

You should explore the sim and not only fly in clear blue weather.

I am excited to see A2G radar as well, but I have heard many people say similar things, that A2G radar isnt something you will be spending a lot of time with once the novelty wears off.

Jane's F18 had the AG radar, and I spent much time in that sim, so I kind of use that sim as a comparison, and am happy to wait until the DCS Hornet has TWS and AG radar before getting it - I have the Harrier and F-14 which are in much more finished states, and they keep me busy. I hope progress continues on the Hornet - good to see the Walleye released - that was one of my favourite weapons in Jane's F18.

I think the whole "AG radar not needed because Tpods are used" is a bit biased since conflicts US aircraft over the last few years have been insurgency based with no major AAA/SAM/Air threats, and it's ok to do lazy circles at height looking through a pod.

Also effects of weather - overcast, fog, dust etc have been underrated and underestimated.

I am actually looking forward to the carrier module and ATC most, and will likely look at getting that.

Solo playing with limited comms and squadron management, or multiplaying with unsync'ed clouds ?

It has nothing to do with circling and everything to do with the ability to recognize targets and accurate weapons employment. IRL the radar is difficult to interpret.

Singleplayer is always best for "realism" but coop MP where cloud sync is irrelevant is also cool but all dead now it seems with online competitive "my penis is bigger than yours" and it's eject and spawn in new plane and takeoff from taxiway is replacing good old fun multiplayer from long lost days.
