This is something I've been thinking about for years now. And the wish to finally get such a feature has been getting increasingly higher, as the damage model in flight sims has improved over the last years. Now, I understand that such a feature is a very special wish and probably not very high on the priority list, but I just want to put it finally out there, because I think there are a lot more people like me that would like to enjoy the great damage model of the DCS games even more. Here's what I have in mind. As you can see it's basically an in-game editor which enables the user to spawn any rocket, missile or any projectile directly in the game world. Explosive weapons via an transparent sphere as in the screenshot and projectiles in some other way (probably vectors). Why would anybody want such a feature, you ask? Well, anybody who wanted to train a special case of emergency that wasn't covered by the editor failures might know what I'm talking about: flying about strelas until one finally destroys so much stuff you finally have a challenge on your hand. With this editor you just chose the right missile (or the right projectile), put in the game world and "poof" wing tip gone. Yes, it's a sandboxy think, but I'm pretty sure that It'd be a lot of fun. And developers could even test their damage model with it. Here's the little mock up I made:

After some hours of playing these are the features I'd really like to see. Inspired by some threats regarding Diablo III I'll try to formulate my requests in a nice, constructive and comprehensible way. Some of these requests might not been new, some might have already been requested in one way or the other. 1. As Ground Commander I'd like to have some visual feedback when units are engaged in combat. This works for some units, due to the dots representing missiles, but there is no way in telling whether units using MGs and canons are actually fighting or just standing around. 2. As a Ground Commander, JTAC and upcoming race driver I'd like to have the ability to lock the direction the turret's facing to. 3. As a Ground Commander / JTAC I'd like to give JTAC targets to AI pilots. 4. As a RTS player I'd like to give move commands via Right click. 5. As a person that likes nice aesthetics, I'd like to have an improved interface for ground units. Nothing fancy, but please no loveless, yellow sanserif in the lower right corner.

Same for me. Deinstalled DCS: World and deleted the Savegame directory. Then reinstalled to a new folder. Works for me now.

Wooops... only BS. Wrong thread. :D

ED should us just give the announcement of an announcement. I just want some date.

To be honest, no I don't think I'd buy it. Yes, I like the DCS series (and the A-10 in particular) but I'd rather have the development resources used for another aircraft.

After revisiting FC2 I just want one thing: SEAD. :D

It's just that some kind of information would be pretty nice. And be it just a set of new screenshots. Even if they don't include the new aircraft.
