Are you sure it is KC-135 - which works with the Viper you selected and not KC-135 MPRS Tanker one - which works with probe equipped aircraft? Make sure it's mission (task) is tanker - ADVANCED (WAYPOINT ACTIONS), make sure it has got the radio enabled. If its an older mission of yours, delete tanker and re-add tanker.

Oh man... Are you seriously a voice of Steam? Had I known that I am replying to such persona I would have put my ED cape and recharge my super powers. I don't agree with anything you said. But it is MY OPINION. Not Standalone users opinion, not a community voice. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and feelings. Works for you? Fine! Does the standalone work for me? Fine! Now, do RAZBAM choices work for them? Yes, apparently, so? Fine! You suck it up that it costs you more on Steam, I suck it up it costs me more via ED shop. Yes! It costs me more than it could have, had RAZBAM opted in to ED Miles program.

... and it's only Tuesday guys! Can't wait to see this week's newsletter to discuss something other than constant fight over platforms and their websites. When I saw that comment about how badly ED runs their platform... Geez man, that's well beyond my comprehension of what's that to do with F-15E Strike Eagle. Frustrating as it is, suck it up. There has to be a balance in nature so I will not pre order @Dragon1-1, I will buy at full price, that wat you will have more benefit with your Steam purchase. Happy? I wonder why this thread is still open.

Perhaps it will be revised with the 3D update, fingers crossed!

Mudhen 3D will have the ability to open service panels similar to Black Shark 3.

Dear customers: Our road map. You will receive a F-15E with a software update known as Suite4E+ version. The F-15E didn't really have changes in Blocks or Lots like the F-16 or F-18, the F-15E was in the form of software updates called suites. We will continue to work and add those systems and weapons and as they came online with the real life F-15E, future updates (Extras). This is our "Chronological Technology Updates" known as CTU and will be an era specific designation. Current version is Suite 4E+ set around 2005 (mid 2000s). You will have FULL AN/APG-70 AA and AG Radar, and the AN/AAQ-14 Lantirn Target Pod access. This will allow you to target and destroy aircraft and ground targets originally designed for the F-15E in Early Access when released. As time goes on and as we continue to implement newer items you will start to receive these CTUs in the form of Systems and Weapons accessible via Special Options Menu in DCS. First CTU (2010), will introduce you to the AN/AAQ-28 Litening II Targeting Pod and the Newer "Digital" UFC. Second CTU (2015), will be the AN/AAQ-33 Sniper XR Pod and JHMCS. The CTUs will be developed (and the product properly updated/upgraded with no extra cost) as fast as we are able to fulfill the original Suite45+’s features and characteristics. 2023, the year of the Strike Eagle ------------------------------------- The above is from RAZBAM Discord. With them not able to guarantee EA in the next two quarters, as already quoted before in this thread, I guess it will be 2024, the true year of Mudhen for me, as I am keen on getting the second CTU really.... ...and by that time I guess I will be already hyped for the Fulcrum

@Dragon1-1 I am now genuinely curious, how do you pay for whatever you buy via Steam? Does it offer a wire transfer in your country or something? Just asking, don't mean to fuel the Steam / Standalone fire.

There is always some dispute over DCS Shop now and then. My country doesn't do USD, and yet I buy in ED shop always. I also make gifts to others in the same shop. I deal with currency conversion by paying with my USD account card that costs me nothing. I mean literally 0 USD to uphold. Currency conversion rate is better than Steam too. There are ways, just saying. You do you, whatever you want, just stop fighting which way is better.. RAZBAM may have mishandled this a bit, sure, but end of a day, I guess most of folks will buy in EA. RAZBAM said it already presales are aimed at their fan base. It must mean that they somehow know, probably through their own metrics and sales telemetry, where to sell their product and at what price. It's RAZBAMs choice, and ours is to buy or not...

I see your point, but no, I do standalone DCS only.

Did you notice how Fulcrum is a victim in the pre-order video for Mudhen? With current Fulcrum I splash 1vs. 4 ACE Mudhens in revenge!

Seems to me Steam and ED miles aren't good for RB business Might be a wait enough to save up $$$

'right now' Imagine another round of 'angry birds' if and when RAZBAM changes their mind. Surely we all want products a little cheaper here and there, but c'mon folks, plenty of stuff coming from ED that you will spend your miles on anyways.

I will be happy to preorder a day before it goes into Early Access. Looks really nice!

This is an example of one of these Fulcrums. Accepted by NVA (Luftstreitkräfte) in 1988 with number 604, then in 1990 changed to Luftwaffe with number 29+01 (as I understand it was converted to "G" around 1995) and in 2004 transferred to Polish Air Force with bort number 4116. Remarkable history for such Fulcrum!

MiG-29A -114- delivered in 1990, assigned to 1.ELT (1st Tactical Aviation Squadron).

Long time no see, bort number 70, originally delivered in July 1989, currently assigned to 41.elt, 22 Tactical Aviation Base, Malbork.

Is it not the one that was re-printed and sold commercially? The one I posted image of?

Oh man... They literally said they will do it. First it was Simon, then it was Kate in that interview, then it was BigNewy and NineLine... What else do you need apart from newsletter announcement? It will come when the time is good. Look how many things they have to get done still with F5/16/18. ED will deliver. I always trusted them, I do and I will unless they do me wrong. There are phases to each project too. Getting the reference documents, planning the project resources, securing means, then announcing. Look at the recent announcement about Deka, few years they been planning it before it made it to the newsletter. Finally, in case you have not noticed, plans shifted by roughly 2 years.

Even better if it is G:

I honestly struggle to understand your point, but let us NOT derail this thread please. Share a nice photo of Fulcrum instead

I will buy multiple, first two already reserved;)

Some knew, NineLine. We will get it. I feel it in my fingers ... Fulcrum is all around me... In the meantime, enjoy this nice impression of Fulcrums supporting special ops (with it's cannon, rockets and iron) that I found on the net:

If you want a ready made look at Cubesim or WinWing offerings. These come with screen & buttons. I understand that Cubesim is exactly TM Cougar size with custom screen and WinWing is larger than TM Cougar and also includes more buttons. $$$ though...
