The irony with the DCS developers is dangerous, they are happy with how the sim is currently, they are happy with the tiny and often not very useful steps forward, they do interviews that where they talk about big changes but I start to think that we will never even see them 10 years from now, so I advise you to take this seriously and invite you to sabotage ED by stopping buying.
EDIT: Well, at least now we have nice clouds but we're still behind, just look at the terrain, the horrible bugs and low fps in vr, no dynamic campaign, and the stable version which isn't really stable. I look forward to DCS 3.0, I'm sure it will be fine or at least hopefully.
