That is indeed the main event of the week.

Agreed. I think this will be the most anticipated news of the week.

I think there wont be anything "major" in the pipe until after the Normandy map is released. Unless there is some surprise that we're not aware of.

Not really looking for a freebie considering what goes into these modules, but yes a discount could go a very long way.

I wondered the same also. That's all we are left to do until more is revealed to us later in the year. My belief it will be an A-7 considering there has been work done already EDIT: Looks like Dolphin has spoken on this... Could not agree more! It appears both have a decent foundation to do so as far as staffing and I am sure they will be able to draw more talent in is managed well.

I am confident that this will happen. Novak aka Dolphin887 has an impressive resume and IMO an ability to lead. Not trying blow sunshine, but just my personal take.

From their Facebook post it looks like there is a visit to Hickory, NC for a final bit of Tomcat research. Although the Tomcat does not belong to them there was a mention of the F-105 Thunderchief. Also considering that the Hickory Aviation Museum is rich in Vietnam era aircraft I believe this will be their stable of modules to come which will be very very nice!

It appears MOST of the muscle is being used to get Normandy out the door so that may lend to SOME resources being pulled away from Caucasus yet delaying it.

I could not rep you my friend, but...

Definitely seems like it's going there. I share your frustration!

I know it doesn't clarify who has what, but it does lend itself to believe that ED has an agreement with both now. I am sure we will see more on this...hopefully in the near future.

Truly a fair enough response Matt. In regard to the units in the asset pack, couldn't the pack be handled in phases of delivery for the sake of timing? I really like the way NTTR was handled with the upgrade of the new content. Could that same approach be taken? Or is the module check and notification system foreseen as the real hurdle for timing?

Let me ask this Sith. Have most of the resources been pulled away from the Caucasus map to get Normandy ready. It just seems like any news on progress is none existent for the past 3 months. I know I am not the only one that feels like, if you can relate, that guy who met this really gorgeous woman and conversation was initially good and you thought you hit it off great. Now this woman wont return your calls and you can't tell if she is really interested in you anymore. :D

So very true sir!

Everything sounds/looks very good so far! The only outstanding issue I have, and it only personal opinion, is the 1.5+ month wait until release. I expected no more than a month, but why close to 2 months considering it was mentioned that... Not my definition of close, but it's a personal perspective. Again things are looking good and I am ready to spend some overtime money on some new ED releases! :)

Soooooooo it sounds like the map is on schedule. How about a time frame for a release then? :music_whistling:

My hope is for this week :) If this is true, based on the trend of pre-purchase lasting a month, there will need to be an announcement in this weekends news. I honestly don't expect it any earlier. The trailer will no doubt be awesome. How fast can GA crank out a trailer? My hope he has been working on it for some time and putting the finishing touches for this weekend! :D All of GA's trailers have been A1! I don't expect the quality to drop with this one either. I hope you're right sir. ED has surprised us before. Maybe we can get a pre-purchase with a release 2 weeks afterwards!:music_whistling:

Map live stream delayed yet again... https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3065515&postcount=94 I do wonder now that GA is working on the trailer to promote the pre-purchase are we looking at another month for an announcement??

Just around the corner? Sounds like a March release! ;)

Is it safe to say that there will be no update to 2.0 to bring in the Viggen this week also?

So is this considered an early weekend news letter? I know with Matt not being available for the weekend stream for Normandy, is this the reason for a news letter today?

Ohhhh this map will be getting a lot of love from the community for WW2 and modern units!! :thumbup:

My plan also Cich!! :lol:

That would be Caucasus map and then SoH
