The DRG-86 Train has not show animations, on traffic trains and on editor maked trains (DCS World MT) Add mission and track. Tested on Normandy map. WW2_DR-90_tank_problem.trk 2_9_9_WW2_train_test_2025.miz

What good is it going to do to leak documents, if ED is going to go with a hammer to prevent everything that is not "open source" from being immediately discarded to avoid legal problems (this includes 3rd Parties).

How do you do it? No 3rd party has ever confirmed infantry (not RAZBAM (1980 UK or Argentine army) or M3 (WW2 Marines and IJN/IJA troops) or Dekka (2000 Chinesse troops), which make AI units), not even old infantry units. ED has not released the API for the new infantry, nor has it released the new infantry units. In fact, no one except ED has made infantry units (including the Forrestal deck crew for Heatblur, nor does it have access to the SDK for the Supercarrier deck crew functionality at the moment). No one has made infantry units for the old system either (e.g. ED WW2 or Georgian, Russian, US or Insurgent units). Let alone the paratroopers who were never seen jumping out of the C-47 several years ago in "X and Beyond"... ED continues to maintain radio silence, and has not confirmed anything about Vietnam or Korea currently. Let alone expect US units from the 60s-70s, Vietcong, NVA or North Vietnam. Honestly, until I see several videos on 2025 with updaters of the new infantry working I won't believe it, and even less that they have "disappeared" since the videos of 2023 and 24 and the CH-47. roping.... We don't even have the functionality to load and unload troops realistically, seeing them inside the helicopters, much less animations of entry and exit, without being a simple appear and disappear... That would be the first thing before rope descents. And another point, that it also works with animations in vehicles, when some already start to have interiors. Has South Atlantic a realistic "planeset"? No...

Since 2014, when the NTTR map was released, no map has been accompanied by any AI units pack to "planesets". The units themselves are not on the maps, they are in separate folders because the map SDK (TDK) does not allow building any of this and the "prop" units on the maps are not EDM files. The EDM for the AI units must be made with the normal SDK via modelviewer from 3DS Max as if it were the external model of a module. We are talking about different teams, it happens like RAZBAM with the South Atlantic map, the team that builds the map is different from the one that builds the supports and this is shown in the files and directories of the DCS World modules, totally disconnected from each other. On fact M3 has building your PTO assets without a map team, only a assets team. The WW2 assets pack is made by ED WW2 assets map team (no the modern assets team, and was released later), while Normandy was made by Ugra Media. Making a map of Germany (which looks like it will be modern, not 1980's, very similar to Syria or Sinai), matters little, and yes, DCS World is still a "landscape simulator", since nobody is making closed packs. Another point is that making a single AI unit takes as much time as making external models (example, the updates on the B-1B, B-52, etc. that have taken years), you can't make hundreds of "low" quality units and think that they can be put into DCS World, because ED won't let you add them to the "core" since they don't meet their standards (everything goes through ED's eye before any release). And to make many AI units, you need very large assets teams. That Vietnam, Germany or Korea don't have their "planeset" is not ED's problem, it's a problem that the AI units go one way, and the maps go another. Another point, currently ED has not shown any implemented Napalm effects (in itself, that technology is missing in the core by ED yet, and has to come in certain M77 bombs), as seen in the 2023 and 24 videos, they have not shown anything new about Napalm, just some large High Explosive explosions. The same happens with the incendiary bombs, which also have no effects (and are only HE), or like the "nuclear" bombs on the Mig-21Bis, simply playing with the functionality of the current HE bombs (ED has no plans to simulate or implement nuclear weapons). Other point has been some featured show on previous "X and Beyond" videos, no release yet as paratroopers, or the new infantry funtionality models, and a long etc. When them will be ready, will be release.

Mig-29A module was officially announced on "2024 and Beyond" has no surprise, and December newsletter show progress and "plans" to a Q2 release, the same with Marianas WW2, appears on 2023 and 2024 videos and talked on previous newsletters. WW2 is in progress by ED (WW2 Marianas map, F6F module and some Pacific assets like Enterprise CV, some IJN ships and Zero AI) and M3 (F4 Corsair module, and its Pacific assets like Essex class aircraft carrier and USN, IJN/IJA assets). ED will most likely add the Pacific assets to the WW2 asset pack. WW2 Marinas will be released as a free map (pending confirmation). M3 assets will most likely come with the Corsair (possibly for free). Neither ED nor M3 have said anything about a joint release. ED is working on the Mig-29A, and yes, it’s possible that there will be a sneak pick of a future module, but a Super Hornet, if it’s not a Block 2/3 version (currently restricted), is a waste of time as Skatezilla explained, because only a Block 0/1 can be made, an aircraft that is inferior in capabilities to an F/A-18C Block 20. I’ve already suggested that it could be either another helicopter (I wouldn’t rule out an AH-1/UH-60), or a new mid-Cold War module (blue or red). Fulda Gap / Germany, has been featured in the CH-47 Pre-Order video. No DCS World map has a "full set" of AI units, they have always been separate, so it is not a priority. The same will happen with a Vietnam or Korea map. And without being M3 or RAZBAM, no 3rd party has a team of AI units.

Updated first post with last info.

I need update the first post with the last B-1B info (mid 2024). I put them when go to home today. Enviado desde mi CPH2197 mediante Tapatalk

ED has shared DC progress updates every year. Enviado desde mi CPH2197 mediante Tapatalk

Last F-4U "report" here.... dont expect a "early" Q1 On develop.... no "deadlines" yet. I see it as very unlikely given the problems of obtaining information from open sources to Redforce aircrafts... and the current "political" situation. ED has other plans, and other versions about Viper and Hornet has very unlikely. Strike Eagle has been release, the "issue" has the Legal problem. Su-17/22 has planned by some 3rd parties/teams on a future. J-7 wait by Dekka. UH-60 has plausible, AH-1W.... not sure. Has "planned" by ED, no dates yet. HB has plans to build a Navy version, but actualy has no deadlines. Please, a Japan 3rd party....

Has Heatblur a Map team? No. They will be claimed Vietnam map, but that required many stuff, personal and a outside SKD (TDK), but never confirm them. ED and 3rd Parties has your propper plans and agendas. The same situation with Syria Ugra-Media and Sinai OnReTech map, no math with the 60-70 "planeset".

The M3 Corsair and the Octopus-G La-7 has only a matter of time to get a release. Someone need remember by: ED P-51D and Fw-190D-9 modules was builded before WW2 KS start and ED never was plans to build a WW2 "planeset". RRG Studios WW2 KS select the Bf-109K-4, P-47D-28, Spitfire Mk IX and Me-262A-1 (that last has missing by some info problems and build propper realistic module)... and ED was nothing to do to change them. The Fw-190A-4 and Mosquito FB.VI was ED modules outside KS. ED has working actualy on the F6F hellcat and Nick Grey has claimed about building Battle of Britain modules after them. Actuly other WW2 Stuff and modules by other 3rd Parties has unkonow and/or not claimed. About AI.... The KS only "pomise" a B-17 and a Me262A-1 as AI.... and after Luthien "claimed" more AI units. On fact, the AI unit team (rescue by ED) release a first branck of WW2 and some expansions after the last years. The WW2 AI team has centred on some PTO units (By now CV-6 Enterprise, the AM6 Zero, some IJN ships and other not claimed AI Stuff). M3 AI team has building some Land, air and sea Us/IJA/IJN units to Corsair module.

That's the problem, an external company believed that making WW2 in DCS World was just a matter of make screws (Remember that they only raised $158,897)... and never thought about the complexities of making modules in DCS World, even WW2 modules (you only have to look at the problems Octopus-G or Magnitude 3 are having)... and ended up bankrupt, with ED rescue the entire project... and put your money into them, and Ugra-Media, rescue the Normandy map.

ED has actualy centred on lauching PTO, and none has show about a train or similar on marianas theater (on fact was some steam trains on Marianas before WW2) . The actual train funtionality has actualy very limited and spared (remember Yo-Yo talk about use them on the logistic funtionality in the past.... many time ago) On fact, trains has no exclusive and no only trains has present on WW2, missing others as modern, and actualy none 3rd parties has build propper trains to your maps (WW2 and/or modern), we have only two russian trains (from Lomac/FC times), one Usa (from NTTR), and German WW2 from WW2 assets pack after, all from ED. Missing all allied trains, wagons, and more stuff and more axis stuff.

That "team" need learn from scratch how working module building on DCS, redone your 3d model to work on DCS engine, and build many funtionality before reach a FC level. That is not only export funny 3d models and viola, we put a FC module into DCS... and the problem about licences as aircrafts, 3d models, funtionality, etc if someone has copyright.

Great update.... Pd. That Is the first year without a Dynamic Camping December develop update ... That Is incoming? Enviado desde mi CPH2197 mediante Tapatalk

Surely GA, has very happy with your next video...

Heatblur Discord.

Aerges has a Spanish 3rd Party team, and all your products has based on the Spanish Air Force aircrafts, documents and manuals (C-101 Mirlo, Mirage F-1CE/EE/M Abuela, F-104G/TF-104G "Hacedor de Viudas"), that is the evidence, as the Mirage F-1 module has not builded a France/Iraq/South African, etc version, only as AI. Has many factors with the future modules continue builing more and more SASF/FLOAN as the Mirage IIIEE, T-33A, HA-200, SH-3D, MD-500M, CH-9E, AB-204, C-212, CN-235, CN-295 and others.

Aerges has buiding a Spanish Air Force F-104G/TF-104G. Dont expect a German/Italian, etc version. Enviado desde mi CPH2197 mediante Tapatalk

ED dont have implement a funtionality to in/out vehicles and actualy you cant drive a vehicle, exit and enter into other on DCS. The same situation with a human pilot bailed out from a aircraft/helo dont go to drive or enter on other aircraft/helo/vehicle as a passenger.

Hello and good morning. I’m Silver_Dragon. As you may have noticed, my visits to the forum have become more and more sporadic, and I’m updating the roadmap whenever I remember. I’m not keeping up with the patches and almost never fly DCS World, only when I have to do a report on a module for a Spanish-speaking magazine. I’ve been working since early November in an IT job, a temporary position that will most likely end in January. I’m very disconnected from both the development, the news, and what ED and the 3rd parties are doing. Simply, when I get home and have a moment, I watch YouTube videos, and on some days, I visit the forum. I’m sorry my followers have seen how I’ve been drifting away from this. I don’t know if I will return to being the same, time will tell. A hug to everyone and happy holidays PD: If anyone sees that I’ve missed something on the roadmap, please let me know in this post, or create a new one. When I have time, I’ll update it.

Actualy has none plans by ED. Enviado desde mi CPH2197 mediante Tapatalk

The Dynamic Campaign newsletter has arround the corner. ED Mig-29A has show on the last year video, Su-17M4 has "on progress" by a 3rd party but has very early. Su-24 and Ka-52 has a "not go" by actual political situation, next ED red module I think has a Su-27P, a UH-60 and my dream has a WW2 light bomber, but remember Nick Grey worlds about make Battle of Britain modules (Bf-109E?). HB A-6E has on progress but not sure if has very early to show a cockpit on 2025 video (EFA?). B-1B has many clasified, If someone build a bomber will be a WW2 bomber (lancaster team turning to 3rd party?) or a early cold war model. Aerges has a Spanish 3rd party centred on Spanish Air Force aircrafts with the F-104 on progress, I think your next project will be a Mirage IIIEE. About others, many 3rd parties has your modules on full throttle and dont expect suprises, only if a new 3rd party appears with a new module.... some plausible will be a AH-1 cobra, some new transports and new early/mid cold war aircrats or a new WW2 3rd party centred on Axis / Allied WW2 aircrats. About ED on Tech... Vulkan, rounded earth and DC has very early to show something. I think the next ED map will be a WW2. Su-25 plans was talked by Chizh but not confirmed (I think, the next module update has the UH-1). Ground module actualy has only a dream (require many construction blocks early), surely will see new AI units on the next video. Infantry units... was show on the CH-47 video, I expect see more on 2025. More weather effects, some interesting features (land bases control towers, ready room and ground crew on bases, ATC improves). More artillery options, cargo options to helos and aircrafts, real land and air convoys as a logistic improvente, the towing ability (no release yet) and napalm fire efects. I start to think, the 2025 video will appears more C-130, Tornado IDS, Mig 29A, A-1H, F-100D, F-104, G.91, Bo-105 and more A-6E IA, La-7, Corsair and Hellcat with pacific assets to WW2, About maps North Australia, Germany (ED or Ugra?), Pacific WW2, "Baltic" by Orbx and a teaser by ED of Channel expansion to Bob. A Actual Block 0/1 has a waste of resources by a limited aircraft with the same capability with a F/A-18C lot 20 (Check the Super Hornet post). Block 2/3 has clasified.
