Wow, lots of stuffs in this hotfix. Thanks.

Indeed... not just AH-64D but also other mods...

Per @PhantomHans comment, I am still thinking our list may be going to be an "add-on" upgrade since HB developers need the funding to work on them because nothing is free. I guess

I was used to the same issue about losing connection and TrackIR tech support asked me to get the video driver up-to-date.... Hope it helps.

Hi @IronMike, 1. first of all, congrats the F-4E success delivery. I have played it and I like the lots of new designs that HB has implemented. 2. I believe that F-14AB is the golden masterpiece in one of the HB products and I think that many users would like to see it shines as F-4E. Is it possible kindly to review our list (above) and let us know that HB has any planning to make us surprises in the future ED releases? Thanks a lots!!

Interesting.... Yes, I got my F-4E from Steam and I did see the panel of "Please wait until your aircraft is prepared" and it was closed when it was ready. Why not to execute "Verify Integrity of game files" under the collection property's installed files.

Thank @draconus and @Fliegerkalle, updated the list with the @draconus categories: The updated list is available at: https://forum.dcs.world/topic/349953-f-14-ab-feature-follow-up-and-wish-list/

Hi HB, I know the HB may be have the following items in the tracking list, and I would like to make a list for following up in one place. Hope, we can make F-14A/B another wonderful mod likes the great success F-4E mod.

Does it mean that F-14 will follow the same pattern if moved to Jester 2.0?

Wow... bought tons of ED mods...., especially terrains (I guess).

Will the custom liveries go under DCS_4E? Thanks.

Hi, Just saw a directory "DCS_4E" under "Saved Games" for the F-4 mod, is it right? Thanks.

Wow, not sure that F-4 can handle fox-3 ...

The size of the download is also related to how many mods that I own, right? I had about more than the 100GB download from Steam.

ED, thanks for the efforts!!

About AH-64D, are we waiting the c-scope feature for FCR? Thanks.

Is F-14 or F-4?

Thanks for the explanation...

What happens that I do not use neither of apps with DCS? Is there any impact? Thanks.

I have the same issue but I just select to the next waypoint instead. Not sure that everyone does the same or not

The SRS installation will search all DCS save game folders under the user folder as I know.

Yes, I also use Avast. Avast detects DCS as a game software and puts DCS into the exception list automatically. However, Avast does make false alarm for the DCS MovingMap and I have to make an exception for DCS movingmap. Otherwise, no issue is so far.

Is config.ini instead?

No update for Steam yet, right? Thanks.

Cool!
