Really? No valid link to the official paintkit? Would be really awesome if the file would be made available again.

I fly VR and use MSAA 4x. I'd recommend MSAA nearly always over DLSS. Only when I do not need to be spotting a plane and maybe need additional FPS, I have a preset with DLSS. In all cases where you need to be spotting anything, MSAA is superior to DLSS in my opinion. ...and spotting dots to 2px.

It does. But ... you have to understand how a tape player worked/works. The B-Side is only playable after the A-Side is at the end, or you would have to switch sides and rewind the whole tape (or fast forward the A-Side). Try this: Listen to one track on the A-Side, then press STOP, then press SWITCH SIDE and then press PLAY. You _should_ hear the last track of the B-Side (if there are 10 tracks on your B-Side). Let me assure you, it works. I did it with my Tomcat as well.

Another thing ... What about South Atlantic? A RAZBAM Map still up for sale and maybe not updated or worked on any more? Will it also cease to exist? Will there be optimization passes? Is it not from RAZBAM?

I had a lot of HOTAS. X52, X56, and Thrustmaster Warthog. All broke. X52 und X56 very soon, and a short while ago the Warthog - the 4th I had! I switched to WinWing a while ago. Bought the SuperTaurus - excellent and bought the F15EX and the F16EX Throttles. I know what the OP means, but in no means is this any setback for me. Their hardware is just excellent and way better than all my old stuff. For Stick bases I use VIRPIL bases and Thrustmaster/VIPRIL Grips. These are excellent as well. And of course the collective from VIRPIL is awesome. If someone askes me for a serious HOTAS (not a 'I want to try out flying and do not want to spend money'), I can recommend WinWing any time! Excellent and durable hardware for an excellent price!

...and that's why I ordered a second one to have a spare in case of need!

I found it a great offer from ED to have made it possible to refund after all. It was long known and if one missed it or didn't want to, then I bet this is covered in some "Early Access" footprint. To then demand a different model as compensation is somewhat ... too much in my opinion. I refunded and it's no big loss for me. I have too many modules as it is anyways.

Just for speculations... After the F15C is done, ED could take on the F15E. Maybe they got some part in their initial contract, that they can use whatever they can salvage from the already done parts on RAZBAMS model, while already having/developing a bunch of stuff from the F15C. Also they have experience with multicrew airframes (AH64, MI24). So maybe the Mudhen will come after all. @cfrag An "official" statement is probably something coming from both parts as one statement. But I see it like Dragon1-1: If the CEO of a company tells on official/public channels that something is over, then I don't see how that's gonna change...

Well... Even if it's not an official statement from ED, it's an official statement from RAZBAM via X. So I guess at least on RAZBAM side, there's not much interest in going on with DCS.

I think it's a shame to discontinue a product like that. The F14 Stick is somewhat very special and different to all other sticks. The point with VIRPIL was, that their base not only support their sticks, but also the Thrustmaster sticks and I believe, you could mount a Virpil Stick also on a Thrustmaster base and maybe loose an axis or so, but I think I read somewhere that the functions of the F14 stick remained (no thumb wheel for DLC Flaps, but buttons and no axis for pinky-lever, but button push). The VKB stuff is unfortunately not compatible with VIRPIL/THRUSTMASTER sticks and bases...

Yeah - where IS the official Photoshop paint kit?

JoyToKey always helps me achieve things like that, if I got problems.

More like replace the callsign on the livery with your own/MP name.

I wish to display a name at the cockpit of the various fighters like it is, but dynamic just like the modex numbers. Add another field in the mission editor (by tail number) and the rearm/refuel screen to choose a different name. In Multiplayer use the multiplayer name if non is given. Would be awesome for squadrons, multiplayer servers and external views/screenshots. Thanks.

The Forrestal has a rough time besides the Supercarrier. Everyone who loves Naval/Fleet Operations will probably use the Supercarrier, while this incredible ship rots (digitally). A Heatblur-Eagle Dynamics cooperation with a Forrestal/Supercarrier Module would be the way to go. Maybe unrealistic, but in my opinion the only way this incredible module would get some use. Also a cold war era 'supercarrier' would be a great addition. And later a WWII Supercarrier. Don't know how difficult it is, to use the Supercarrier's deck crew code to get it working. I don't care about manned stations, but takeoff/landing operations is a must.
