Hello, ED, I have a request for Halloween 2025. For Halloween, can you have the air crew personnel appear as skeletons and the landing field lights have the eerie green glowing pumpkins? It was done a few years ago and really enjoyed. This year, can the DCS team create something different? Along with the skeleton crew members, perhaps add some spooky ghosts and thirsty vampires waiting in the darkness to surprise unwary virtual pilots. Mike Force Team

Can I join? I am asking for the discord link.

@Blackhawk NC When Red Star Simulations releases the Mig-17, will it be added? Mike Force Team

Are you flying any Russian Migs?

Thank you.

Does the Red Star Simulations have a discord link? I cannot find a discord link for them.

Have you contacted ED to see if they are interested in making the OV-10 mod into a full-fidelty module?

The discord link needs updating. Error message says the invite is expired.

When the work on the chopper is complete, you can approach the other vendors like Heatblur or Magnitude 3. They might give you a job. Mike Force Team

The foreign countries will likely appear when ED releases their global map.

I know the ZEL was a good idea but not feasible after testing. It was a high maintenance undertaking.

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
