    Hi, I believe what happened is some comments from RAZBAM were made in their discord that sounded positive and youtubers picked up on it and made some speculation videos. 
    We don't have any news to share currently but we are all working towards a good outcome for all. As soon as we can share news we will let you all know officially. 

    thank you 

    Exactly, it is not an official announcement from Zambrano (Razbam) about anything to do with this dispute. Move along Citizens, nothing to see here officially !

    And maybe a few posts I saw starting: "I'm asking for a friend who is not on this forum..."

    Indeed

    Hey! Lawyers enjoy flight sims as well! 😄 Just curious, but recently quite a few known youtubers have started showcasing the F15E again. Is there any hope of any progress currently beeing made that would allow for people to get their hopes up a little bit? 

    Nothing official, so no.

    i would like to know what the future of the RB modules is. But i'm sure as soon as there are some information about this, they will let aus know - in the first post of this thread or by other means.

     

    It's already been stated in the first post what will happen to the Razbam modules regardless of outcome. It only affects the F15E, or rather, it affects the F15E much more that the others because bugger all was being done with them before the dispute. Hope this helps.

    If I was younger I'd play out my pride and refuse to buy more stuff from RB. But at my age, if it's cool and I can buy it and fly it - I'm buying it and flying it.

    Yes, but not anything to do with Razbam.

    I'm feeling hopeful a conclusion can be reached and we can see more improvements to the already amazing Strike Eagle. 

    I personally feel Razbam are well and truly out of the equation for developing anything again in DCS and the hope for a good outcome is Razbam leave DCS on good terms, whatever that may entail.

    Based on my experience buying Razbam modules, I would never buy another module made by them - even if it was DCS: F-22A. While I agree modules aren't major purchases, the free market works best when companies that don't treat consumers with respect don't get sales, and in my opinion that describes Razbam. Others obviously disagree, all opinions are valid.

    Also agreed

    IF (!) they resolve the problems I would be happy to see progress on the F15E again. But I would never ever spend a single cent on any razbam product again. (I bought the F15E before the disaster of course)

    A little perspective might help when people consider how they feel about a dev or module.

    If half finished manuals or implementation is not for you then steer clear of EA alltogether - problem solved.

    Wait for the finished article and then buy it, even better wait for one of the many sales and get it then. Broadly speaking I would wager you could pick up most modules (albeit after a wait) for around £50 UK pounds or so.

    That's about the same price of a round of golf or a couple of evenings down the pub or another activity that's a one time event.

    Anyone would think we were shelling out several grand for a rolls royce that got delivered with dents in the bodywork.

    Not poking anyone here - just saying its a hobby that we invest in of course but as has been said - its not like the market is awash with other options is it.

    First of all the must finish all missing stuff for Harrier, M-2000C and (obviously) F-15E.

    Then, RB should release a really interesting module... M-2000-5 / Mig-23 are not interesting enough to me.

    And even if they did both of above, I will wait for the end of Early Access before buy.

    I would like the Mig 23 but not by Razbam and I am not alone.

    Yes, you can compare both radars and their level of simulation.

    "They are totally different era anyway so not comparable". Galinette

    I agree with him, you can't, even on a simulation basis unless the F15E has the same radar as say the F18 or 16. To say one radar is more accurate has to be from the same starting point and that is what I am meaning.

    Agree to disagree eh !

    What is the reason for posting here, is that here I discovered the chance to say (almost in person) a very big THANK YOU for you work. F15E was a boy dream. Was my first toy plane (my father gave it to me) and it is a passion. YOU had made a boy dream "true" even it´s just in VR. But I really would like to thank you and try to turn your day better.

     I don't have experience of the F-5 to compare. They are totally different era anyway so not comparable.

    And you picked up on my point, I didn't hide it very well ! You can't compare radar's in DCS and it is ridiculous to do so, tell your friend Timghetta that, he doesn't seem to comprehend this point. I must clarify a point made by Timgetta:

    "it was Razbam who coded the cockpit, with one of the best radars in game. Far more accurate than other aircraft inside DCS." 

    it's more of a point of 'I like my radar better than yours' and disrespectful to other 3rd Party developers who's radars may well be far more accurate than the one mentioned. Anyway, it's OT and I have asked for the offending post to be removed as being subjective, offensive and Off Topic.

    I'm the developer of the M-2000C overhaul since 2020 (which you attributed to AdA) and of the F-15E radar, sensor control and multicrew.
    I did not use the word "with" at all.

    I do apologise, it was the word 'within' I missed the 'in' bit, not to worry it's not important. As to attributing development credit, looks like Razbam got all the credit for your work from your friend Timghetta (Razbam being the trade name for Zambrano) and not you. I personally would be very upset about that.

    Timghetta said:

    "it was Razbam who coded the cockpit, with one of the best radars in game. Far more accurate than other aircraft inside DCS." Is he saying you didn't ? I'm confused. I can't comment as I don't have the F15e module, is it better than the F-5, my favourite?

    Anyway, we are getting off topic.

    Fault is mine, I expressed that poorly. While the impetus for the updates was the AdA's involvement, I acknowledge Razbam did the work.

    No, it's my fault, when I use the term 'Razbam' it means 'Zambrano' and Zambrano doesn't do anything other than publish the product and I don't really care who did what as it's muddied the waters yet again.

    You're talking to Razbam developers. 3D art developer and aircraft systems developer

     

    You're wrong about the M2K and the "feature complete" modules.

    The continuous development nature of DCS makes necessary to have the original developer in charge of their products to continuously maintain and improve their modules, not only for bug fixes. It happens with all the modules in DCS, even for the ED modules.

    I didn't ask you the question but I will respond to your last comment. 

    From the first post:

    "It is our commitment that no matter what happens we will do our best to make sure these continue to work into the future. We understand those of you who remember losing the Hawk, this is not something we intend to do again." 

    You are getting confused with Razbam (Zambrano) continuing to update and internally fix his published modules out of early access (which he wasn't doing anyway) that's your point and EDs commitment to fix any issues that break the module in DCS, my point, they are two very different entities. In other words, ED will keep the module working in DCS (all 4 of them, the SA map has nothing to do with Razbam) for as long as they can in the state they were left in after early access. This is my point when people say they will lose all 4 modules, they won't and if people would care to read the first post, they would not be asking the question.

    "Clearly the legal dispute doesn't let you see beyond that, take some time to investigate about the projects that were planned, they are much more than a simple Mig-19. And about badmouthing RB people leave it to yourself, it doesn't help." 

    I am not interested in what would have been or what was planned, Zambrano planned a lot of things that never materialised and not just for this sim ! As for 'badmouthing' Razbam, go over to his Discord and see what they say about ED, utterly disgraceful and it certainly has not helped Zambrano for allowing such behaviour on his official Discord.

     and still receive new features, such as the M2K updates delivered when the AdA got involved.

     

    I do apologies, I forgot about the AdA update. It isn't directly related to my point because this update was to a Razbam module that was considered feature complete but benefited from AdAs development and not Razbam.

    Thanks

    Incorrect. Modules can be out of Early Access and not be feature complete.
      

    When did I say all modules out of early access are considered feature complete? Read what I actually said and not what you think I said.

    This is what I said:

    "F15-E because it's the only Razbam module still in Early Access, all the others were out of Early Access and considered feature complete with no further features/updates to be added except for fixes to those modules." 

    Notice I was referring to Razbam and did you spot the word "considered"? This is how misinformation spreads by someone who doesn't read posts correctly and then makes up the sentence halfway through and then decides to use the F18 as an example ! 🙄

    Kind regards

    Hawk works on DCS 2.5.3.

    Yes, I know you were just correcting misinformation. However, I have had this idea for some time, I envisage older modules going into legacy versions of DCS so people can still play them if they chose. I play Flanker 2.0 and Janes USAF from time to time just for nostalgic reasons and I am sure some modules will not be viable to continue with as DCS evolves beyond the modules life cycle.

    It may well be that DCS 4 won't carry all modules forward into the new gen spec but DCS 3 will remain open for older modules. Just a thought as I had some time on my hands this evening.

    I think a majority of the people exhibiting embarrassing levels of naivete are those that really haven't had any firsthand experience with any sort of litigious matter.  If they had, it would be clear to them that disclosing any details in a public forum before the dispute is resolved would be a bad move.  Even with no such experience it's just plain common sense, something the Entitled Gamer often lacks.

    As users we have been affected, in terms of losing the current RB modules it would be a disaster, but it is also a disaster to lose the modules that were projected to be developed in the future by Razbam.  

    It has been explained countless times about Razbam modules, the only module that is affected and due updates was the F15-E because it's the only Razbam module still in Early Access, all the others were out of Early Access and considered feature complete with no further features/updates to be added except for fixes to those modules. So you are not losing anything as it stands.

    This is all explained in the opening post of this thread. As for what could have been in the future with Razbam, I'm afraid this is a typical ploy to smoke screen the legal dispute, usually by the losing side for obvious reasons. The Mig19S is a good example of promises not being kept by zambrano and using his cohorts to spread smoke screening stories.

    Sometimes I do wonder what's the average age of the people in this forum. When I started DCS I had an idea that this would be a place for grown ups / mature people who had some life experience and understanding how some things in life go. This thread has proven me otherwise 🤣

    Sure, in a perfect world this would have been sorted long time ago, maybe even wouldn't get to this point. But guess what, world isn't perfect. I won't even pretend to understand this legal case, but even coming from my layman perspective it's quite easy to see the "you do what your lawyers tell you to do, nothing more, nothing less". You know that catchphrase in so many TV shows/movies "Anything you say can and will be used against you". This thread has also proven this, many times over. 

    So in the bottom line, how hard is it to understand that maybe none of the parties in this case are doing what they would like to do, but are going on what their lawyers are advising and that we (regular player folk) are really not the people they have to justify their actions as this is now out of normal business domain and into the legal battle one. Different rules apply, we can just sit down and wait for the outcome. It's not like DCS has suddenly become blocked on your PCs, there are many other aircraft to fly, many hours of fun and enjoyment to be had, you just have to stop focusing on the negatives. 

    If you want to find all the bad things, you will, but then don't come complaining that nothing works and that all you see is bad things as you aren't even looking for the good ones.

    I'm coming up 60 but I still think like I'm 20 LOL. Lovely post of yours.

    Where are you getting that "RB lacks the same concept" of the customer comes first? You expect them to keep working after not being paid? Them not being paid is not a theory, its confirmed by ED. And we have no idea who is to blame for lack of resolution to the issue. It could be RB delaying things or it could be ED delaying things. Don't think you can just assume its RB holding up resolution.

    What I said was in response to Ninline saying both sides would have to work hard to regain trust. All I said was I felt that transparency would help. But I guess, based on your response, ED has no plans to ever provide transparency to the situation. Which is fine. Y'all can do what you want. But it affects your relationship with some users.

    I read the forum, and like, half of your posts are from here lol.

    Also, that example you provided was not RAZBAM. It wasn't someone who worked for them; it was some random users in their Discord. Not sure why you're acting like those messages came from a RAZBAM_(name).

    Also, blaming people that work for them that are in no way involved with the legal process of the solution is just funny and wrong.

    Gosh, I'm slightly flattered you have taken all that time to read my posts and you presumed I had nothing else to do 😀

    Anyway, my screenshot example of Razbam's discord is, zambrano clearly does not care what people post despite being in litigation with ED, that is very unprofessional. Stop making up your own interpretations of what I post, it's rude to say the least. I think it's best we ignore each other now, you have had your go at me with somewhat derogatory intent, but I am sure you have other things to do now, but I wouldn't like to bet on it !

    "Mizzy, it's very clear that you hold this situation too close to your heart for an average consumer"

    Thank you

    "Either you have nothing better to do (all respect), or you are genuinely trying to make a difference because the situation has affected you personally."

    It appears reading through my posts, you have nothing better to do, due respect of course.

    "I have discussed this situation on the forums and on Discords, but I have never seen a person this devoted to the situation."

    So which Discords are you referring to if not Razbam's, you are speaking with fork tongue, be more specific and clear about what you are meaning if you are going to be derogatory towards me. 

    "Not even RB or ED talk about it like you do"

    I have given you an example of how RB talk and it is by far worse than any of my posts!

    "It's just a bit odd, but I respect the effort."

    Thank you, I am not looking for respect and I only post in this forum which I spend no more than 10 minutes cumulative, sometimes more but not much more. I don't use reddit or offensive Discords (RB's being the worst), so what's so odd ! Practically all my posts are referring to others only, many of which like to follow me around and make personal attacks which they know I will fight back. You haven't been here very long and I have been here 20 years and never been in a topic expressing my disdain for a 3rd Party before, this is the only time it's happened, so what's so odd ! 

    Kind regards
