In due time

No OV-10 Bronco from us at least not in the near future, as for F-20´s, i believe DCS needs more tangible planes than "what if´s".. Prowler

Gents, people have voted and decided.. For the time being (and it could be a long time) no Pucara from RAZBAM.. BUT.. Stay tuned...we are cooking a surprise for all of you (no, really, i don´t think you´ll see this coming) Best regards Prowler

I think you got the idea.. Currently there are 3 3d devs(including myself) each working on a module (different from the other) As it is, while doing finishing touch ups to the Mirage (3d wise) there are 3 projects going on, being these the Harrier, AT-27 and the F-15E, think of this as a production line..when the Mirage is finally done (not so far in time) the coders will have in their hands the Harrier and the AT-27, while the F-15 will wait for other stuff and so on. The 3d dev that was supposed to be working on the Pucara (which I doubt will see the light of the day as i can read) will start on something else. But i´ll keep watching this space Best regards Prowler

We are testing waters guys So far our lineup has not changed, but there is a new 3d dev that is actually from Argentina and got access to some argentinian planes. I deemed the Pampa as a no go since i believe there is no place for yet another trainer, and looked at the Pucara since i think it´s interesting, combat proven (Sri-Lanka used them in anger as well) but i rather hear what the community has to say about it. Just to get things straight, our current schedule is : M2000C module completion, AV-8B Night Attack and AT-27 Tucano. But keep in mind, we´ll be adding something else, since we got more working hands aboard. Best regards Prowler As for Mirage III or A-4´s, not in the near future

There is a lot going behind curtains and so much we can´t comment on, BUT, going thru creating a A/G radar code by our own, and knowing the way ED keeps evolving, it´s our decision to go with ED´s flow, since it will give users less hassle when trying to keep up with each new patch from ED Prowler

That would be like kicking a hornet´s nest..bare footed... The amount of flack we received when we released the 1st iteration of the M-2000C prevents me from doing such a move..ever... Best regards Prowler

Well, i had a chance to chat with a former VA-55 A-6 B/N when i was developing the FSX version, since back then, we were the 1st to include "usable" weapons in FSX with this product, and I was checking on loadouts. His info on winders on truders was that basically they were thought to be used as last minute defense against in-flight anti ship missiles, like the exocet which the Lybian had in it´s 2 forms, ship borne and aircraft borne. So if they happen to catch an in flight exocet, the idea was that they would shoot it down with the AIM-9, hence the anti-ship loadout. At least, this is what i was told back then. Best regards Prowler

It is...relax, it´s kind of difficult to explain our whole road map, it will be done RAZBAM got quite a team of talented 3d devs. best regards Prowler

Definitely NOT our model Best regards Prowler

Hi gents: Well, yes, we do have an A-6 planned and that´s the starting mesh (lots of work to be done) but it will not appear before the F-15E which is planned after the Harrier release (Tucano release might appear in the interim, at least that´s the plan).Around Harrier release time you might start seeing pics of the A-6 being made, but once again, it wont be ready after the F-15E is, which is our top priority. Best regards Prowler

OV-10 Bronco??....damn!! LMAO.. PS: I would really like a Bronco in DCS

A-7E and D as a single package..later on (once completed and out of beta) might include H and early D (SEA A-7D version) Prowler

You got the "picture clear".. Prowler

I think the main problem is the time involved in create one of these modules. So far we are about to finish the M2000 and then start coding a more complex aircraft like the AV-8B Night Attack.Sure, we do have an AT-27 which is fairly less complex than even an F-8, but it does takes time to make it right and then there is the Super tucano coming from that production line. So what I say is..let´s wait..if there is a slot in the production line already scheduled, it might get a chance in the mid term..at least from us, dunno if any of the other very capable teams might be interested in it. Best regards Prowler

Even as i´ve been a huge Buc fan, i have to say that the moment we get A/G radar ready for integration, our #1 project is the F-15E...after that, many others (including a Buc) would be in line.. Best regards Prowler

Well. not for the time being..but who knows?.. Prowler

Gents: We are creating the cockpit 3d model entirely from scratch, and using ED´s external model, the rest will be created by us (AFM,Weapons, Systems etc) But everything on due time Best regards Prowler

The F-15E is one of our most complex module to date, even as today, we are working on 3D meshes to bring out an exquisite model. But, keep in mind, it will take some time after we officially announce that is right on the production schedule. We have a road map here, and we are sticking to it. Best regards Prowler

I would love to, but all resources are concentrated in doing aircraft, BUT if there is someone skilled enough to create these ships, and plans to get something in return, i´m open to chat about it Best regards Prowler

Just a correction, the AV-8B Plus still sports the FLIR over the nose, it was never intended as a targeting device, but more as a NV system(as it exposes the IR image over the HUD). Read somewhere that Night Attack versions also used litening,in Bagram. will have to investigate on this Prowler

I don´t even know why you are asking that,the Mirage work has not stopped in any way, and the Harrier will not interfere with it.

Litening pod

Of course..if during AV-8B Night Attack version, a fully viable A/G radar is available for us to play with..it could evolve into an AV-8B Harrier II Plus version.. Prowler

Gents: As many of you are aware, i started a Harrier poll trying to decipher what the community was after "harrier wise", not surprisingly the Gr7/GR9 version was the absolute winner. BUT, we stumbled into a brick wall, a wall that might put the Gr7/Gr9 at least 2 years behind..and that is weapons systems. As you may know, the British version of the Harriers used a set of recce/targeting pods that are not available in the sim, being these the DJRP, Sniper and TIALD (which most if not all of it´s operational manuals are still classified). Not to mention also a pod carrying countermeasures in one of the 3 belly stations. Implementation of these pods could take us longer than expected, and i would really like to get a Harrier beta this year (fingers crossed). I just wanted to be honest with you, no BS statements will come from us, this is the current situation and i put it out as it is. So..as our 1st Harrier pack, we are going to create the AV-8B Night Attack version, this will allow us enough time to create the other system pods as we can get info on them and implement them in the sim. So the road map would be AV-8B Night Attack followed by the GR7/GR9 versions and hopefully the AV-8B Harrier II Plus after at the end. Best regards Prowler
