The work being done on this huge terrain is massive, without the approach we have taken we would have been waiting a lot longer to even get to try what we are already enjoying. If this approach is not for you I totally understand, I would suggest waiting for a full release and bypassing early access completely. For those who do support us with an early access purchase, and giving us constructive feedback we thank you, without you our projects would not be possible. I am in contact with various members of the community who are providing location feedback for the team to help refine areas of the terrain. If anyone would like to PM me with reference photos of areas of operation that you feel are important please do. thank you

Hi, please check your antivirus, some people are reporting a false positive. Try excluding your install from the antivirus and run a repair. thank you

Hi, please ensure you have updated DCS to the latest version. if you still have problems contact our support directly thank you

we are very close, as mentioned in the change log it just requires some more testing and refining internally. Wags will be doing videos as soon as he is ready to thank you

Not yet sorry, work is still in progress and edits may need to be made. thank you

please enough with the drama. Work is in progress and as soon as we can share news we will, it wont be to your timeline we will only share news when we are ready to. thank you

Hi, please remove all unofficial mods and run a repair we can not use tracks with unofficial mods in them, they could be part of the problem thank you

hi, this has already been reported thank you

its hotter in my office than outside lol, aircon being installed at the end of the month

No not that I am aware of. I dont know where you are in the world, but I am in the UK and my office is currently 34 degrees.

No problem and thank you for replying again.

please check your antivirus isnt creating a problem. try a pc restart and retry the update.

I will check, sometimes they are late with patch notes edit: No not this time, more to come in future patches

Weapons: Now "Cannon 300-600m and missile lock/unlock button" release (return back to 30 degrees scan) will not break R550 target lock. To break lock the button should be pressed again. Fixed some types of payload that were restoring when jettisoned with 'Unlimited Weapons' option enabled. Reduced Sidewinder and Magic missiles launch preparation times, when those are launched unarmed (jettisoned for example).

As mentioned when the patch is ready we will publish. we are close and you will soon all be having fun in this historic bird.

I'm waiting with you dont worry It will be worth it.

yes should do. Unless Steam decides to be awkward ( which can happen )

The patch is coming today ( planned), but it will come when it is ready to. Before long you will be enjoying the F4U

Its going to need more time, we will keep you informed however.

We are constantly developing the core game, our change logs show that with each update. But some tasks have a higher priority than others. thank you Some of our modern ships have a higher level damage model and ultimately we would like to do it for all, but it depends on free dev time and that is at a premium currently. thank you
