Just installed, fired up for the first time and it's awesome. Absolutely beautiful and frame rates are great. WOW! Just WOW!

Ah, I remember the good ol' days when "the customer is always right". Losing the use of any Razbam modules would be a travesty, but personally I feel the Mirage and Harrier would be devastating, especially considering how long they've been around for. The Hawk issue was bad enough, but considering Razbam at one time made up around a third of ED's lineup of full fidelity aircraft, it's unfathomable ED allowed a scenario like this to unfold. Makes one wonder what other poor decisions have yet to occur. I can't say I have any level of confidence that the Harrier and Mirage won't be lost entirely, especially when you consider the less than satisfying answers and communication. Seems ED is playing legal duck and cover. I'll say it again, this never should have happened, yet here we are. This isn't a troll and fanboys will fanboy. The hard truth is many of us have legitimate concerns and feelings on this issue. Are we "wrong" or just inconvenient? I know many would rather us just stow it and not voice our opinions, but I absolutely LOVE the Harrier and don't want to see it die. And who's to say this couldn't also happen with Heatblur, no one can say for sure. I have store credit for the Strike Eagle so I guess I'll spend it on Cold War Germany. After that, I think I'm done. I have enough modules to play with for the rest of my life, though I may be losing a few more it seems. It's a sad state of affairs.

Whelp, there is nothing you can do about it so, guess you better learn to live with it or find something else to do. The announcement of the F-35 in no way undermines or diminishes my confidence that the A-10 or F/A-18 are not as realistic as ED was allowed to make them.

The Flaming Cliffs aircraft have always been in DCS so I don't see how exactly ED is "shifting" away from anything. Mission builders as well as server hosts are free to include or exclude whatever aircraft they see fit. No one is forcing anyone to play a mission or fly in a server that doesn't meet their preferred level of "realism".

The video did not contain a Naval Phantom nor any other Phantom news. What you have been looking at is one of the existing liveries. Didn't contain "news" about a lot of things, yet they are in the video.

Would have hoped for an F-22 instead as well but with the announcement of the full fidelity F-15C, which I always wanted ED to make, perhaps ED felt they would compete with one another for sales.

Yeah well, I was half kidding but I think they get the point.

Official DCS World 2025 and Beyond video @1:32, Phantom II wing with a USN marking.

Look on the bright side, this opens the door for all sorts of modules. Su-57 anyone?

With all the attention to the ground war in the vid I'm wondering if they're not hinting at a long overdue update to Combined Arms. Also, Is that a Naval Phantom wing in one of those shots?

I'll play Devil's advocate. DCS World is ultimately a game and without money, the game dies.

Don't worry, by the time ED actually releases an F-35 it will be retired and all documentation declassified. But seriously, if ED was going to go this route then why not the F-22, I might have been able to get onboard with that at least. Thought I heard it said in the past they wouldn't do a Mitsubishi Zero sighting the lack of documentation, I guess we can look forward to one now? But what I'm really looking forward to is the full fidelity Su-57, man that is gonna be awesome.

Refunded without prejudice. If the issues with Razbam reach a satisfactory resolution I may consider re-purchasing it, but for now, I'm not dealing with it given the less than satisfactory handling of the situation thus far. "It's my prerogative. I can do what I want to do."

Pilot models look terrible. The Gumby wrists when holding the rifles are particularly offensive.

The exhaust sound is coming out of front of F-4E instead of out the rear. As it stands, directly behind afterburner is quiet.
