Something something R27EP

Haha I got the VKB MCGU for the same reason fulcrum fever baby

The VKB MCG is actually a copy of the Su-35 stick so it's the most Russian. As can be seen here

Not at all, just confused me a little lol. I guess your post is the official solution since it links to their official post now

Did you try to post this as like a gotcha, they posted that after I did so idk what youre trying to tell me here.

Second message from different dev: Hey guys! I apologize for the lack of updates, I know everyone's been really eager to hear some news and we've had my head in the sand alittle bit. Sorry about that! The module is still very much in active development; we have just been quiet as far as news and updates to try and reduce our workload alittle bit, but we can see that's getting abit frustrating and we need to do better with our communication. Right now our time is split roughly 50/50 between DCS & MSFS; as you might have guessed already we rely on our MSFS work to continue funding development of the A7 and so it does require us to split our time between the 2 sims, at least at this stage. After our upcoming release for MSFS 2024, we will then be pivoting to place the full team back onto the A7 to significantly speed up the development process. Currently I am continuing to put alot of hours into the A-7 codebase & have begun collaborating with ED to work on the Terrain Following & Terrain Avoidance radar modes. The last few weeks have been spent doing some optimizations, refactoring & cleanup and improving the robustness of the code base. Not the most exciting thing, but essential for a smooth & bug-free module! More significantly I spent some time developing a new Lookup-Table system, which powers a vast amount of aircraft systems and flight model data underneath the hood. By breaking away from the traditional index-based iterative search methods (eg the CPU must search through all 50 data points in a 50-point table to find the correct value) we've been able to develop a mathematical index system that is able to calculate and find the correct data point in a single call. I'll explain this in more detail in our first mini-update in a few weeks. *TLDR: The heaviest parts of our codebase have been optimized to run significantly faster!* With all that said, I'll be doing my best to post some sort of monthly mini-update here in our discord server to keep you all in the loop with how the module is progressing, and hopefully help ease some of the frustration of waiting. I'll also be doing one of my detailed dev reports, but not for another few months when we have some breathing room. I hope you can understand and as always thank you so much for continuing to support us! All of your messages, activity, requests for news and just general love for the A7 absolutely does not go unnoticed - it's a constant reminder of just how passionate the DCS & A7 community is, and it gives us the motivation & reassurance to see this project through to the end, even when it seems difficult. So thank you all, truly - Dan

I know a lot of you aren't in the Discord so I just wanted to share the following message from one of the Dev's. "Yes I definitely agree. We do apologise for the silence on our part, but there is no reason to be anxious. We have just been extremely busy with MSFS 2024 these last few months, so work on the A-7 has slowed (but is still progressing!). That being said, if things go to plan then we should see a fairly massive amount of progress on the A-7 in ~Q2/Q3. We will explain this in more detail once we have finalised these plans." - Alex So its still being worked on no stress here gentleman

Exactly so gimme R-27EA lol

And its not like it would make the 29 magically OP, the ER already out ranges the radar of the jet itself

EA would go so hard Been asking for this in the discord since the announcement

Update, can get LA in ME on Caucuses might be mission specific to the MP server im on, gonna guess possible fog interference even though no fog in sight?

Exactly like title says, nothing in VS,Boresight, even EO lock, nothing.

Excited for this, would love some side by side screenshots

Just wanna say I appreciate all these photos great to look at

I meant 4 total asin the two belly and two wings

Does the version we're getting have the belly missile mounts for 4x missiles.

F1M is going to be front and center in my hanger when it comes hopefully in two weeksTM

Thank you for your reply due to interest from other players does this include CCRP as well? Apologies for the secondary question.

Title is pretty self explanatory but in the announcement photos the HDD shows CCIP now I understand this is just an example photos but was wondering if the PP does have CCIP for bombing in its limited A-G capacity?

Well it's the simple things sometimes I have a newborn like I don't want to miss because I'm flying 30knts to slow at 3 degrees off optimum angle when I only have 30 minutes to fly lol

The M is going to open it up to so many more casual players that dont want to deal with bombing tables etc, I know multiple people waiting to buy when the M comes out.

I knew it wasnt just me being crazy, I had multiple flights where it would work and then not work it was indeed very interesting and also even if I got a lock there was a significant delay between my S530.F's seeing the target and being fireable.

Four year old alleged F1M screenshots I dugup from a reddit post, Id never seen em before so im sure someone else has not either.

Still a day 1 buy for me once this releases, looking forward to more updates and hope all is going smoothly.

Well I done goofed, I bought it anyway, still excited and awaiting this sweet M variant.
