The ZEL would great for the Germany map. It would fit in the scenario when the Cold War goes hot.

I saw some YouTube videos showing test footage of ZEL in West Germany during the 1960s.

Will ZEL be included as an option or feature for the Starfighter?

@Mainstay Be patient. When Heatblur start dropping hints and breadcrumbs of upcoming release information for the Intruder, I am certain a section for the Intruder will be created

The most likely solution is ED creating a global map. I know it was mentioned in the 2025 above and beyond video. Since then, no new updates.

@Silver_Dragon You are correct the Mig-29A will be release soon. This full-fidelty module will be a welcome change. Dekka has no release any new information lately J-811 jet. It is not clear how this upcoming module will be received in the DCS community. Hopefully, Dekka will release an update before the end of 2025. Red Star Simulations is working diligently on the Mig-17. The Mig-17 is more likely to be at home on a Vietnam Map, a Korean map, or possibly the Sinai map. I am eagerly waiting for an update on the Mig-21 bis version 2.0 update.

@SteelPig Thanks for posting the FAQ information. Mike Force Team

@szymixzmb Here is an example. It took Razbam eight (8) real-world years for the Mirage 2000. The same module that is now no longer available for sale in DCS. I know we want instant gratification right now, right here,this second. In the meantime, all we can do is wait.

@LimePartician I understand it is frustrating whwn limited information is available. ED will start dropping bread crumbs of information when the release of a new module will be happening. They information could be hinted in short release video trailers, details leaked to popular DCS content creators on YouTube, or implied in ED'S newsletters. Patience is a virtue. Mike Force Team

Wanting and waiting for planned full-fidelty modules is frustrating. We might say, "We want it and we want now!" Virtual flyers want to experience the fun and instant gratification. In the meantime, we wait for Heatblur to do their work. When they say something is planned, they do considerable work, testing, and troubleshooting to ensure their product goals are reached. Waiting for the vetted finished product will give many hours of enjoyment When I read Heatblur's latest update, they said they are working on the Eurofighter. It also sounds like the A-6 would either be released after the Eurofighter or around the same time as the full-fidelty module.

@TonyRS The T-45 is a free mod you can download and play.

@NineLine You are keeping us in suspense. We want to share in the fun the beta testers experienced. Once a release date is revealed, I am certain the mig-29 will be very popular. Mike Force Team

I watched short videos on YouTube showing people flying the Mig-29 at a flight sim convention. The cockpit setup was impressive. The virtual pilot seemed to really enjoy flying the full-fidelty module.

@MiG21bisFishbedL The Eurofighter will have the Europeans, especially the Getmans, celebrating its arrival. After, others on the other side of the Big Pond will celebrate the Intruder. Mike Force Team

@Porco Rosso There has not been any information on the A-6. The Eurofighter is likely the next one to appear. After, the Intruder might be forthcoming. Heatblur has not said anything new lately.

The Discord links are no good. I am saying the links are expired. Mike Force Team

@SOLIDKREATE I understand you are passionate about doing the research. You are putting your money where your mouth is because you are paying for the books. Research aside, it would be great for one of the approved 3rd party developers to investigate the feasibility of making your virtual jet. ED's vetting processes and standards are likely very stringent. For example, I would love to see a Vietnam era B-52 bomber. I can find books on Amazon that tell you everything you need to know. While I would purchase this full-fidelty module, it is not clear if other people would. Mike Force Team

@SOLIDKREATE Once you have the manuals your ordered, perhaps you can approach heatblur or one of the popular mod creators to make the f-105.

Naaahhhh...Probably will be released at a later time.

@Kang When ED announces their world map, then the maps requests will likely be fulfilled. Mike Force Team

Diego Garcia would be a possibility for using it as a really long mission for missions to and from the Middle East. The location would be ideal for those who want to spend hours in real-world time flying. They gain the experience and can also use it to make a YouTube video.

@phant Thanks for the information. Kudos to you for finding new information. Mike Force Team

@BitMaster Thank you for suggestions and comments. Mike Force Team

Which heli pilots are you looking for? Are you open to the Gazelle?

@TheBiggerBass It looks like we have a match. I hope ED will create a map of Iran.
