Of course they listen, but not now, they had always do, even old stuck bugs complained about for many time while people say they'll always be there, even some people quit the sim due to the "intolerable" of the situation. Then it gets fixed but they might not even see it since they quitted out of sheer impatience. I know sometimes some bugs can be really annoying, but if you don't get fixated in those the sim is still pretty useable even when those complain about it being impossible to use. Even old bugs get squashed in the end, look how despite it being so slippery that not even people complaining could post proper data to identify the bug, in the end the Dora engine thing was found and fixed. Now you say, the problem you mention, well indeed there are a team of dedicated betatesters, always there were but actually not that long ago they announced how the team was embiggened with even more people. Don't you read newsletters? But let's not digress here, now you mention "the other sim", you realize it's not even close to DCS in complexity, right? "Modules" which aren't modules at all don't feature systems modelling, at all, nor those inexistent features imply updating core engine every time you need any new thing, be it a new radar, a new missiles feature, a new naval asset, a new previously unseen weapon with any sort of guidance, a new FLIR like thing, a new whatever, and when that happens bugs to already working modules using those now enhanced features can happen, of course can happen, but also of course we all want the sim to be renewed constantly, right? That problem simply doesn't exist there, it's impossible to compare any other thing to DCS because there are no other comparable thing out there. The only thing comparable at a distance could be the 98 modern sim still lurking out there, and modders, not dev, modders ended up cleaning the bugs it had , which is easier anyway when you have a dead platform, so no way mate, no way to compare.

Of course I'm not saying they shouldn't keep it alive and updated, and yes for me it was a blast back then compared to anything I knew in simulation, I love the module to the day and I believe it's still great. Of course new people can and still do buy the module and they deserve the same attention, but my point is still many, and I mean a hell of a lot many of us bought it many years ago and won't buy it again no matter how much they update it since we already own it. Those (many) who bought the module about 10 years ago and after for barely 15$ (14.95 BTW) enjoy those updates the same as newcomers, but I'm not sure the numbers are that high now most of us already own the module. The last 3D update with new textures and everything, although it wasn't like a brand new module, really enhanced it, I cannot complain it was a bad update yet still people say it isn't enough for a reason and that it haven't received attention in so many time , but that update came not long ago, I just don't know what people mean with the "no updates ever", the it's being neglected, it's left unsupported, whatever thing. Not to mention many complains about bugs and everything comes from actual updates to the core, apparently so many people aren't aware what's going with DCS, they don't realize it's a living platform, you ask for updates, they come with them, not few, some really deep ones, core sim is updated every time but that breaks compatibility with older modules. It's a hell of a lot of work to keep this going on (and I just guess it, I haven't the faintest since I'm not a dev), you have to update things, keep older things working, but all that while the platform is being used!! It's like a doctor had to perform a heart surgery while the patient is still alive and with the heart beating because you can't stop it nor the person can stop being alive. Think the time, not long ago, we got the new props for instance they came almost all together in one single update in, how many modules? at the same time and trying not to stop the game from being usable, maybe bugs happens but still usable. They got the props, I won't seek for the thread but there were a thread like this one back in time complaining about P-51 propeller being awful and the module being neglected with no support and everything… ring a bell? I mean what the constant complain mates? I believe people are just being bigots here like nobody ever released a bug anywhere . But no, people want it all, new modules (because you want new modules, don't say you don't, I want new modules either), new stuff, new maps, new things to do, new weather, new assets, new damage model, new ATC (WWII related, of course, but also modern ones), new dynamic campaign (WWII usable), new multicore with new VR support with a new game engine (I don't recall how many engine changes I've known since DCSW happened in 2010), you want new everything!! but you don't want what comes with that, bugs, incompatibilities, development problems, delays, and what not. If something I always thought ED's target to be too bold since they obviously aim for a full high fidelity simulation platform with everything, air, ground and sea, the ultimate simulation experience but that while the platform is in use and with a small team (they still are a small team for what they do despite they hired a bunch of new people not that long ago either). I mean, what do you expect from a small team in a niche subject like hardcore simulation is, but with the highest of the targets… it takes time, a hell of a lot of time, and problems, a hell of a lot of problems… and here I'm just pointing out the obvious so many people apparently can't see , before someone chimes in telling I'm being as bigot as them or something . But still I like ED's minds, what they aim for, and I want it no matter the time and tears it takes. Those complaining and saying it's unbearable, Ok, good for you, better go play Tetris ultimate, that's probably more bug free than DCS is, or maybe not .

Problem is, I don't know when did you two get this module, but for instance I got it in 2012 on pre-sale because I wanted the aircraft bad no matter the environment it had or not, but in sales periods (back then happening even more times a year than now) you could get this and other modules 70% off, so P-51 costed 15$ (buying from Europe at that time barely 12€ ) plus you got bonus points , and that wasn't just for a short period time, that happened for many years and many more modules and warbirds later on could be bought at that same price, A-10C (original one, not A-10C II), BS 2, UH-1, whole FC 3, Fw190D, Bf109, and so on. Apparently you don't realize you're asking a module bought by many at that price tag 10 years ago to be kept, updated and even enhanced meaning basically redoing the whole module from scratch on today standards, for everyone but those only paid 10+ bucks and since so many of us already own the module we don't buy it again, I haven't paid anything since then for the P-51. Still, I got several updates, new textures, new model P-51D-25, new sounds (twice at least do I recall?), new 3D enhancements (props anyone?), new engine model, I don't even mention core engine updates since that's not specifically related to P-51 though all modules take advantage of those and P-51 also does, and, better or worst, but basically it's still running and kept alive, supported, and even updated from time to time. Please enlighten me about what game did you buy 10+ years ago and is still running, supported, updated and kept alive for free?

I don't think so. Weren't there somewhere a company talk about not long ago with another professional flight sim platform similar to ED's professional branch The Battle Simulator and in the end it wasn't a public "game"?

*Through the seat of your pants , I must add

Does your CPU/MOBO have an integrated GPU by any chance? That takes RAM memory out from general use and it's set in the BIOS so you can't see where it is. You can check that.

I think you're confusing certain space game which won't probably be ever seen with a flight simulation like DCS is. The hype train you mention happens usually only close to release when you really see people excited because there is something to be excited about, screenshots, videos, manuals, whatever. Yes, that happens. We haven't seen a thing here aside from a few screenshots and that's mostly to calm the waters from those claiming the module won't happen because they don't see a thing. We aren't now in either of those situations, so nobody knows what seven years hype you're talking about .

My understanding, given a hypothetical module wouldn't be available right away, is that we are thinking of incoming modules, F-4, F-8, A-7, MiG-17, etc. In that environment a new MiG-21 variant would be very welcome.

Not to mention, from what you people say about completeness of sceneries, planesets and everything. I believe lately devs in general are trying a different policy with regard to that and they try to give players a bit more than just the module hoping people would find what to do with it. Of course, even though British versions fought in Europe and everything, a Corsair without carrier (not a simple one as we have seen in the screenshots, hence a hell of a lot of work), without either ground and airborne assets, and without a map is less appealing, so it may well be they try to coordinate a bit that so we get a more or less "full" environment for the Corsair and not just the module, if not simultaneously in a short period of time, specially bearing in mind all the things we know being worked on. A Marianas WWII release close or simultaneous to Corsair release plus ground, naval and air assets to crowd it would definitely be awesome!! But M3 keeps being a small team, that's a lot to ask them and if they manage to do that they deserve the highest of the recognitions, which usually isn't seen around here instead of complains. Anyhow, just let them work, they have shown they are doing their best, just let them keep working mates. P.S.: a different thought, if you all remember usually modules aren't released very close one to another (or in sales periods), and we have already some recent releases and if everything goes well a lot more coming this very year. My guess is they (ED here) have to find the right spot to release Corsair without much interference to other modules/third parties and that may well mean we don't see it right away other things are released, who knows…

No, most places doesn't, otherwise why would people complain all the time about updates in this or that module from this or that third party? I recall people's memory is usually quite short and two months of work in this kind of software job isn't that much, at all. I'm awaiting this module as much as anyone, but I'm sure they want to finish and release it probably even more than I want to fly it, not only this one but the others they are bogged with. If they don't say a thing, just keep working, we'll see it sooner than later. On the other hand if they only post screenshots and write on social media maybe they have less time to finish the job, but maybe I'm being gullible and they don't work at all, they don't want to finish and release their modules, and they just sit over piles of money laughing at our wait which apparently is what some people think of third parties, who knows .

I'm sure they are all just awaiting you to speak so they come wherever you're just to give you a heads up because you're special. It's not like they should keep working on their pending modules, or perhaps they don't want to sell their work, eating daily is overrated, yeah .

Supongo que lo añadirán a los módulos de prueba en cuanto salga a la estable y haya terminado el descuento, ya no está el 30% de pre-compra, pero aún tiene un 20. En cuanto salga a la estable eso terminará y seguramente será el momento en que aparezca en los módulos de prueba.

Todos los módulos entran ahí, solo que recién aparecido a veces tardan un poco en ponerlo, pero no creo que tarden mucho ya. El Mosquito y el Mi-24 los pusieron en seguida después de salir, así que cualquier día activan este.

Eso no se sabe, pero no creo que tarde demasiado, no suelen dejar a la gente que solo vuela estable sin el módulo que han comprado durante demasiado tiempo. Los últimos lanzamientos han pasado a la estable bastante rápido.

It's a real pity La-9 was being worked on by Belsimtek years ago, or at least talked about they had some plans, I guess as a fleshing out of a Korean scenery since they made F-86 and MiG-15, but apparently they dropped the idea and was never heard of again.

Also in take off, setting 11:30 to take off and only setting it automatic once well airborne helps control the sometimes wild 109's take off rolls, though it's another thing to take care of from the checklist so probably not the best for people trying to learn if they are bogged down in procedures.

I'm not sure those details are really important or could affect a simulation, at least a simulation to the level we have here. And that's acknowledging the complexity DCS already has, set aside lesser ones. But maybe it does

I'm sure they will as they did with C101.

People like to talk and make a mess, but no rumours at all, from what Aerges said it's a whole package including F1CE, EE, BE and M, it's like the Tomcat (or Phantom eventually) with several versions in the same module. In this case will be released in that order hence that's why CE is first as you saw in the two tutorials already aired. We don't know price tag yet but they haven't ever mention anything about selling single models at different prices or the like, that was only people talking here, nor we know of further versions though devs said it could be possible should they find the correct information, but any other gossip out there we know nothing and it's only guesswork from people.

Not sure, but it looks like what are green numbers under light are luminescent and they glow even when not lit or after being lit. Interesting effect if that's realistic.

Pues que Belsimtek era el equipo de ED que está en Minsk y cuando se abrió el tema de las third parties los hicieron pasar por third party durante un tiempo para que hubiese más opciones y demostrar a otras third parties interesadas en entrar a DCS cómo se funciona y demás. Cuando ya estaba establecido el sistema y había third parties activas con sus proyectos y módulos lanzados ya no hacía falta tener un equipo de "demostración" a parte y esos desarrolladores les hacían falta para otros proyectos, así que simplemente se reincorporaron como parte del equipo de ED que siempre fueron pero en otros proyectos como el Hornet, el Viper, o supongo que el Apache ahora aunque eso ya no nos lo han contado, tiene poco sentido seguir hablando de Belsimtek como entidad separada o simplemente "colaboradores", son ED. No han desaparecido, siguen ahí, pero vuelven a funcionar como parte de ED. Los módulos de Belsimtek ahora son módulos de ED, sencillamente, aunque en realidad siempre lo fueron por mucho que tuvieran un nombre a parte durante un tiempo.

I don't know but maybe they do in the Russian forum.

I'm just saying they are a small non English speaker team, their apparent "lack of communication" has been addressed around here several times, but they aren't going to learn English all of a sudden just because some people complain about it. That's all. The subject you mention, yes, I guess buildings destruction should be possible more or less everywhere on this map, I just haven't tried destroying all of the buildings to know which ones i can and which can't. Anyhow, remember even no speaking English, they use to address issues with their maps so reports reach them sooner or later.

That takes time, think of Hornet or Viper, it would be something alike with regards to complexity, I believe. If you haven't flown any of those before you'll have to study a good bunch of new things.

Or do, it might well be some little thing that is fixed in the next patch, it wasn't broken last week. As I told you, if you fly offline or something where you need ATC, just go stable for now.
