If the shoe fits ED, wear it. The only way I will buy anything else is if it is on mega sale like 50% or more off, and I will know going in that any unfinished bits will have a high likelihood of never being finished. Oh wait, that's not even worth it at 50% off. Forget it.

I don't find the unfinished features actually detract from anything.
Sure, the F/A-18 has a few things technically unfinished (e.g. HARM modes and different radar modes are still being added), but I can fly it, carry out missions, and generally have fun with it.
The same goes for things like the Harrier. I'm aware there are a bunch of things unfinished/buggy. But honestly, I don't notice it. I can fly and have fun, and it is the best harrier sim I've ever played.

What about it is funny? Yes, DCS has bugs and unfinished bits, but nothing that really stops many many people having a great time with it.

Not sure but what could be funny is a puzzle making company developing a flight sim. I mean, the complexities are similar, what with having to make infinite number of shapes and all the rest that goes into producing puzzles. Or do they use repetitive shapes? If so then the comparison is more silly than funny, for me

Its funny because it shows that ed are all about money...

These dudes are greedy coders in a time when they know the genre is doomed.
The puzzle is what its all about?

Falcon 4.0 and its many modded versions show us in true form what a real mig21 or usa f16 pilot would face in a REAL WAR against each other.

Jump into bms and see a real world of unknown dangers.
That SA6 that lured me in and took out 2 of my wingmen.

That mig29 i didnt pick up on just near blew my ass to hell and back.

We all love our flight sims and its a great genre that all of us truly love in our own way.

The vid just shows us the way its all about money.

Well, of course it's all about money, ED is a business.

I can't land properly in the daylight so this is beyond my current skill level. Well done.

Of course, Falcon 4.0 went 2 years over schedule trying to get it right and basically ended the first incarnation of Microprose because it did not make enough money, so . . .

If Falcon 4 which was released in 1998 failed to make enough of a profit then the decline of the mainstream market for hardcore flight sims started much earlier than most of us thought.

If all you’re interested in flying is the F-16 then you are already good to go. There’s need to get anything else!

They never did anythjing with the F15C and georgian dlc?

The flight model and bugs are a crying shame...

Five years on and the jet still got got no love. They simply threw out what they had at the time with empty promises of so called great updates?

Me deserves a refund LOL...

Stay safe all and remember were all flight simmers...
