Not to mention that FC3-tier module simply wouldn't be commercially viable because whether it's full fidelity or not you still need to make all the art and create a flight model, but you can ask much more money for a full fidelity module
Is this really true though? I'd buy an FC3 level model for 2/3rds the price of a full fidelity module if it was an aircraft I liked.
I'm also more likely to buy multiple modules - as I don't have to take the time to learn them, it is easy to explore different aircraft... whereas I feel pretty oversaturated with just two or three full fidelity modules.

A suggestion: The 358 / Saqr would be very interesting. Getting accurate performance data might be difficult - but the idea of a slow LOAL loitering missile is fascinating. It'd be very interesting for helicopter pilots especially.
-
Considering they're already working with someone who has done a lot of research creating a 3d model and researching systems for the Su-22 - that might be a good choice (especially as the license still appears to be free).

Waiting Octopus-G or other confirm them.
Yes, that is what I was thinking - both SVKSniper and OctopusG have done some work - but I hadn't heard of a license (unlike the others). Sad that the Mig-23MLD isn't on the list. The Su-17/22 and Mig-23/27 are the two aircraft I'd be most excited about.

It looks fantastic. The best idea for them map in DCS! And even more legendary aircrafts for this map are coming; MiG-29, Tornado IDS, Bolkov-105, Fiat G.91, Su-25, MiG-17, A-6, A-7, Su-17, F-100, F-104 etc.
Su-17?

I am truly grateful that so many of you remain interested and are patiently waiting to see what can be created for you. Your enthusiasm is a huge source of inspiration for me to ensure this project is successful.
Always with you on that!
Although the wellbeing of you, your friends, and family will always come first. Wish you the best with the rest of life as well as with this project (which many of us will always be excited for, with or without frequent updates).

- I'm still a bit puzzled about why there would be more information on F-35A AN/APG-81 AESA radar than the F/A-18 E/F/G AN/APG-79 one. I didn't look for them and I know that there are more export customers for the F-35 than the F/A-18 E/F/G but still I'm not sure how much of that is really relevant
I suspect it is this - two export customers vs. nineteen export customers (some of whom build components for the fighter). That said, one would think that the AN/APG-81 would still be just as classified (or more classified).

Thanks for trying to answer the questions. Two more:
- Shouldn't the Su-17 and Mig-23ML have enough references?
- When will we get fuse options for Soviet bombs/cluster bombs (to allow different/lower attack profiles)? Similarly, when will improved fragmentation simulation be added (important for older Soviet helicopters/aircraft which often rely heavily on the use of unguided rockets).

Any chance that the Su-25A rework (or Mig-29) will lead to an ability to set RBK/KMGU settings in the mission editor? Fuse settings haven't been added for Red.
Similarly, is there any chance that rocket warhead fragmentation will be better simulated? These aircraft that use primarily unguided weapons for ground attack would really benefit from these improvements.
Also, will the realism of FCS for the Su-25A be improved (i.e. only having a couple of ballistic pre-sets)?

I'm a little bit confused "There are of course many other improvements, fixes, and new additions in this update for the Mi-24P, Mi-MTV2, Flaming Cliffs 2024".
The change log seems to show four instant action missions and two bug fixes across all three products/thirteen aircraft.
Am I missing something?

It is always very interesting to hear more. I feel like this interview spoke to ED's audience as it has been developing in the past few years, but didn't speak to me as someone whose been in this since the Flanker 2 days... I do hope some of the questions in the next interview upload will cover some of the issues I think about.
P.S. Honestly, the lack of support for some of the earlier Soviet/Russian/Warsaw Pact content is frustrating (e.g. the lack of fuse settings for Soviet cluster bombs, lack of fragmentation simulation impacting the Su-25/Mi-24/Mi-8, the inability of the Ka-50 to carry less than a full load of missiles per hardpoint - when all the other helicopters can now do this, the lack of 4th generation designs even as AI)... there is this extensive and ever increasing gap (in even basic features/maintenance) which seems to be going completely unnoticed by the developers.-

For the F-35A Q&A: Any plans for more contemporary (2010s) AI opponents?
It would be great to have a 2010s pack with AI Su-35, J-20, maybe even an AI Su-57... to give us something more challenging to fight.... otherwise this might get a bit too easy - even in single player.

I know a few aircraft were named like that or just had such a nickname but what exactly do you mean by "tadpoles"?
Pod and boom construction... (basically having a main fuselauge - including the engine - and then having a relatively narrow rear fuselage that just supports the Empennage).
Different people find different designs charming. For some reason I'm one of the ones who finds this engineering elegant in its apparent simplicity. But I was also sort-of making fun of the common themes in aircraft I like. There are a lot of much better reasons to find the TS-11 or Mi-2 charming aircraft (other than the pod-and-boom layout).

Iskra is fully Polish product, not Soviet. That's what he meant.
Reasonable! Totally reasonable - my apologies as well.
I just like tadpoles and analogue instruments. A little bit more common in Warsaw Pact aircraft I suppose? Although, I suppose the Mi-2 and the TS-11 are both Polish, and the only Soviet tadpole I can think of is the Mi-8 (maybe some of the early Yak Jets?)
Anyway, I desire to see the Iskra project get licensed so we could have that little Polish airplane...

well, if you want another Soviet plane this one is absolutely not it
Any reason why? Other than Poland technically not being part of the Soviet Union? I'd also take an Mi-2URP btw.

It'd make me quite happy to have another Warsaw Pact bird. If we can't have the Mig-23 or Su-17/Su-22 approved, then maybe at least ED could give a green light to this little one:
Give us something other than a Mig-29!

One of them is technically in a Swiss livery. Although it is worth noting that most of these modules aren't perfectly accurate to other operators (i.e. they only come with U.S. inventory weapons, and are modelled to be prototypical to a U.S. variant of these U.S. designs).

Worth noting that all nine images in this are American designs.
I'm not really complaining - I appreciate any and all updates - but I thought it was an interesting observation...

Never say never, but apparently some of the Razbam devs have said there is no chance this is for DCS.
Source?

I do hope that the Mig-29 will give us the ability to set RBK release settings in the mission editor / on the runway. Same for KMGU!

Not for Flaming Cliffs.
The Remaster optional upgrade is for the full fidelity Tiger F-5E II
Is there any chance that the FC Tiger could eventually get the same air-to-ground functionality as the older FC planes? Currently we have to drop all underwing bombs simultaneously (something which isn't the case for the Mig-29, Su-27, Su-25 etc.)
I feel a bit disillusioned and less interested in the F-5 after the disappointment of having less features than other (earlier released) aircraft have.

I'd like a fourth Blackshark update - so that we can have the option of carrying only partially full Vikhr racks (as is usually done in operational service - and as is available for all western helicopters).

Recon would be great! It is a very well suited aircraft to some types of reconnaissance and it would keep it relevant in theatres where it would be outmatched as an interceptor!

PKT machine gun in the crew compartment
in Wish List
Posted
We already know - they talked to Mi-24 pilots who said the P was a much better choice. The fixed gun does more damage and is more reliable.
Of course, that doesn't mean that a lot of us wouldn't pay for an Mi-24V as well (perhaps an export example with UPK-23-250 to help make up for the reduced firepower, and maybe the 10xFAB-10 loadout and/or PKT)? Anyway, I think I already mentioned it but there have been a number of cases where I was attacking trucks or infantry and really wished I could use a turret. I think there are some cases/contexts where the Yak-b is more useful (provided it doesn't jam)!
