I don't want to hijack the OP's question (came here to ask the same), but maybe a small additional question: Did Heatblur mention that they will eventually update Jester AI, to operate a bit more independent? (like they advertise for the F4) (sorry if this was asked/answered before somewhere)

Sorry guys... couldn't resist... null

Not saying I don't find it strange that this happens so last minute, but it's never a good idea to take a day off on release day. Usually updates go live very late, after which you also still need to download, or like now, the update gets postponed. Perhaps the issue is related to one of the other features that are included in this update. That wouldn't be the first time (personally, I don't understand why they include more than just the new module in a "release" update. Seems to me like asking for trouble).

Wow! That asset pack looks amazing! I don't like using mods, as too often I found myself troubleshooting after official updates, so I'm extremely happy to see this mod being embraced by ED. Congrats Massun92!! (Let's hope more user created mods will follow soon. That would give DCS a massive content/quality boost)

I kinda agree to this reaction, although personally I was thinking more in the way of: (So, with a touch of "frown" and "concern")

I'd say, nothing beats the satisfaction of designing/building your own playseat :

Yep, this is wanted by many. @BIGNEWY or @NineLine; could you please bring this request under the attention of the website team? (also my wish, for the user file authors to receive notifications)

Very happy to see an update on the Viper pilot body! I know many people always hide the pilot body, but for me the empty cockpit is so immersion breaking (especially in the Viper, where due to the high seat inclination one constantly sees the rudder pedals), that I have parked my Viper one week after EA release, while waiting for legs.

Additionally, it would also be nice if we could select to open maintenance panels of uncontolled aircraft. Place some static deck crew around and you have a convincing reason for a lone wolf mission.

Ah ok tnx, so it seems Ugra's Syria map keeps holding the standard when it comes to destruction models then. (As I love helo ops, these kind of details matter to me in a new map)

Guys, what's with the bridge fetish? Just kidding, very important that bridges can be blown to pieces. But how about factories, warehouses, shelters, etc. Do they have proper damage models like Syria or Sinai map?

Ah ok, so how about buildings?

Discord however is awful (imho) really, I don't understand how this platform managed to get so popular (probably an age thing on my side I suppose...)

Ok that's nice How about general buildings? Do they have destruction models? I've also tried asking this on Orbx Discord, but that platform is soo awful (I can't even find back my own question in between all the constant chatting there.. Let alone being able to find if it has been answered somewhere..)

My YT algorithm fed me this chilling Gulf War I emergency communication: (I hate these kind of YT click bait screeming texts, but in this case the content is good) Interesting to hear the professionalism. If anyone knows more of these, please do share.

Sorry if this was asked/answered before. I've been checking out various YT videos, but so far haven't seen damaged building footage yet. Orbx know how to create scenery, but I assume damage models are new to them. Anyone knows about this? (Are we talking "Syria map", or rather "Caucasus map" destruction model details?)

Really?! C'mon ED, do we really have to ask for this every time a new module is released??

I think cfrag is referring to the already countless (sometimes pretty heated) discussions about these topics. Especially the "sense of speed" one. (you might want to do a quick forum search on that one, to understand cfrag's concern )

In my opinion, Caucasus still looks quite amazing in the winter Sure, its scenery could use some love, but then again, it's free.. Oh, and by the way: What video are you referring to?

Well, if you have any links to official statements from either Razbam or ED, implicating that "chances are high" that any or all of Razbam's modules will be discontinued, please share them here. Until now, I only heard rumours about a few ex Razbam employees who apparently said some things. But I'm not a very active social media user (understatement), so without any intended sarcasm from my side, if you have a link to any official news, please do share.

These kind of wild speculations do nobody any good...

Not sure if the OP is still present (welcome btw), but just in case you didn't know: In order to fly the Apache together with another person, both players will have to own (purchase) the module.

If it was the Eagle that featured in that '80s movie, the poll outcome would have been different I reckon By the way, I finally managed to make a choice.. Even though I notice I find it really difficult to put all my hate against the regime aside; looking purely at aesthetics, I just had to go for the Russian Flanker (forgive me Viper, Phantom and all the rest, I still love you too )

Yes, this one would be very welcome indeed (or at the bare minimum, an AI version of it) Oh and by the way, this brute deserves a better picture than the "museum piece" shown by the OP... Something like this: Or this:

I just can't choose! It's just too difficult what I do know, is that the F4 deserves more votes. I mean c'mon, look at it :
