You mean 5 years or 10 ? My bet for 10 years from now for finished they never even showed the gunner cockpit.

No, release date is may of 2021, as you probably know if you read the article which it seems you have Oh, the drama 'Release' as in the pre-pre-pre-alpha' version.....but yes, we all know what a DCS 'Release' looks like. It doesn't equate to anything that any other developer on Planet Earth aligns with. But I've no doubt the same people will go crazy for this and ensure that ED can continue to 'release' a new platform that will never get finished as they bounce from obstacle to obstacle safe in the knowledge that proceeds from the pre-pre-pre-alpha will pay for the next bit of dev work they have never planned for.

when f18 f16 released, and are still most of the mfd placeholder? Are still in a dramatically early release? Well, minion will praise anyway.

No, release date is may of 2021, as you probably know if you read the article which it seems you have Oh, the drama Pre-order starts in May, release is further down the road (probably Q3/4 of 2021). And yeah, ED releases are constant work-in-progress but developing such highly detailed modules surely takes a lot of time and resources, so the business model they choose is probably the only suitable one to not go out of business like it or not. It's the only way we get the Longbow in such detail for now so I'll take it, and with improvements to the base engine (weather) and dynamic campaign coming, even if it takes years it's the best thing we got. Unless resurrected Microprose chooses to announce new Gunship, which would probably take another few years to make...

I'll be getting it because, well of course I am.
I'm more looking forward to the Hind though.
The thing I'm most looking forward to is the new weather though.

I'll be buying it.
I'm sure we all realize that if Eagle Dynamics wasn't around, there would be NO developer making new modern combat jet sims. I couldn't disagree more! IMO, if Eagle Dynamics wasn't around then someone else would certainly develop new modern combat jet sims. And then this 'someone else' would learn from ED/DCS mistakes and probably wouldn't follow this same stupid 'market strategy', this only if ED/DCS would go out of business. I could also argue that there's no point for someone else to come up into the modern combat jet sims market since it appears that many simmer are 'apparently happy' with ED/DCS with all its unfinished after unfinished module release. So why would someone else have the will of doing better than ED/DCS if apparently a considerably number of simmers are happy with the 'all the bad' which is currently available with ED/DCS?? P.S - After 13 year or more if we count Flaming Cliffs or Lock On I'm still waiting for ED to fix those ridiculous AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles!

It's ok just saying ''someone else would certainly develop new modern combat jet sims'' and they will obviously get it right because '' they would learn from ED/DCS mistakes''... but who? There is no flight sim anywhere that doesn't have it's share of problems. I've got loads of them and I honestly can't say one is better than the other... do I get enjoyment from them, regardless of faults or things I would like put right, or various dev teams marketing strategies I don't agree with? Yes of course I do, or I wouldn't play the bloody things, or for that matter, continue to buy their products. It's the fate of all flight simmers... we are hoarders.

While it's absolutely true that there's no flight sim without its share of problems, the fact that with many/most other sims and games (present and past) their developers have been fixing or trying to fix their sim's problems. But with ED/DCS this is different - fixing problems (a.k.a bugs) is definitely NOT their priority as it should have been! For example we're in 2021 and the AMRAAM problems still need to be fixed! This is again one of a HUGE LIST of bugs/problems which again is inconceivable that in 2021 it's not addressed! And instead of fixing problems ED keeps releasing addons/modules in Alpha shape/stage which add even more bugs to the sim. So if you want to be 'suckers' and continue to fall for and support this 'almost criminal' ED behavior, please fell free to do it so. But then don't complain that the 'problem' with combat flight sims nowadays (or the lack of them) is because people don't support the 'only' modern combat flight sim basically in existence today! By the contrary it's your 'fanatism' regarding ED which is spelling doom to the genre (you're of course entitled to disagree with me).

If your a true moderater then dont piss about... That was a very immature and underhanded way to reply to any1. Shame on you... BTW the thrustmaster rocks and you made the right choice.
