Many modules didn't make it in there, it was a short video and the focus was Afghanistan. Many times our video guys can only use what they have access to or other reasons. The Kiowa will get its day in the sun soon. When we have firm info on the size we can share. Thanks.

This cannot be stressed enough, those that want the entire map will most likely still buy the entire map and nothing really changes.

Nope, the coast is too far. It would impact performance not to mention it would be a hella long flight.

ALl this can be communicated with how the mission or campaign is distributed just like what modules and maps it uses. Its not really an issue. People download missions for things they don't own all the time by not reading the description or the description not stating this. Its just another thing that we will all have to deal with as is appropriate.

Yes, using the same tech as Normandy 2 update. Thanks

How is that?

Read the FAQ, MP compatibility is there no matter what you buy.

It is easily as good IMHO, I would like to think even better. Thanks.

The thread is tagged missing track file, instead of discussing how bad it is that when we find info later on and happily change it, it's better to stay on the topic of the thread and help get this reported if it needs to be reported. Thanks. See my signature for the link to properly report a bug. Thanks.

We have a large project updating the INS/GPS for the F-16C first, that will then be rolled into other aircraft like the F/A-18C once complete.

I'll take a look, I believe some of these are already reported. Thanks

New landing gear system is currently being added to the P-47, it should be addressed then. Thanks. This would be adjusted based on real-world information, not what works better but rather what is more realistic. Thanks.

This one is... just terrible... I can't sugarcoat this one at all. Currently, the new landing gear mechanics are added to the P-47 and I bumped the report stating this needs to be addressed at the very least with the release of that. I will try and keep on it for sure. Thanks.

Some good news about IFF from the team: IFF Info: On the release of the MiG-29A, it will include a basic IFF system, later on after some RnD we will create a more advanced IFF system. This was the plan from the start, it was just lost in drawing up the newsletter, we apologize for any concerns it might have caused. Thanks!

Once again, the entire country of Afghanistan will be delivered in phases. Thanks.

We have nothing on a timeline to share right now, but when we are more confident in a possible release window we will announce it. Thanks!

We should have some news upcoming but watch the newsletters for it. Thanks!

Easy both, it's ok. The map is gonna be good fun for low-flying for sure.

We have asked, if we can share anything we will. Thanks I have asked, but currently the focus is within the borders of Afghanistan. Thanks. No need for hope it will happen, the whole of Afghanistan will be completed in phases.

We will do the entire country, I have asked for more info about further details.

Sadly it seems you are trying to find negativity in this announcement, I do not understand the point you are trying to make here. First I have played hundreds upon hundreds of missions on the Caucasus map with Blue and Red aircraft and enjoyed my time there. I am not sure what your rules are towards "semi-convincing/plausible mission" but I have never flown one and said, boy this is unrealistic and I am not having fun aside from the fact I am sitting in my house on a computer. So if you are saying you cannot make mission on a map that are not fun based on them having to be plausible then I think you not letting your imagination flow. The same goes with the Early Access portion of Afghanistan, you will be able to see up what I consider to be at the very least "semi-convincing/plausible mission" such as COIN but why limit yourself... draw a line in the sand, put red on one side and blue on the other and create a story and just have fun, like every other map in DCS. I think some are just overthinking this waaaaay too much, but also this is not a mandatory purchase if it isn't your thing then we understand like any of our modules while we appreciate every purchase we understand not every one is for everyone.

Would be two different development teams BUT I saw some cool stuff I am hoping we can show off soon.

Thats about to change soon... but let's stick to Afghanistan here.

Well the joy of DCS is much of the content isn't 100% based on real life. We have Cold War server with many more bullets fired than the Cold War I remember. Modern Engagements that I don't remember happening, DCS is a sandbox, we are giving you the stuff to play in different parts of the world. And maybe the real-world activities between 2008-2010 are not your thing, I bet there are just as many that it is their thing, or can expand on it. I expect some cool campaigns and missions to be done as have been done with all our terrains. I do appreciate the feedback, but if it isn't your map and not something you are going to get no need to post here, not sure I understand the reasoning. If you have a wish for this map, post over in our wishlist thread, but don't fill this up with "I don't know what to do with this map" posts, please.

Added this clarification. Thanks all.
