I don't think so as it has been said many times before that stuff on their website is just background art/previous work done by team members (eg, the F4 used was a render of Milviz's one which Cobra worked on).
When you say "not everyone" I think you should be aware it's really "basically no-one".
You're not going to get the answers you're looking for, but I am curious, so why do you ask the question?
I can see the picture.
It's quite a stark cutoff to some low res satellite imagery. It's on par with low res NTTR though, although the difference is more noticeable.
Bear in mind it's also a very low altitude shot too. It won't be as noticable up high.
Alternatively, if you've bought stuff through ED's store previously, you can apply the bonus dollars if you have any on your account.
Sure, there's not an extra sale on, but I've just checked can you can get $15.00 off it that way, down to $34.99.
That makes much more sense. Just flying the E-2 would be boring.
Still quite niche, but actually not too far off something like the role of Commader in the Battlefield games.
The Great Firewall, aka, the Great Firewall of China.
The PRC has essentially ring fenced its internet from the rest of the world.
Either way, interesting aircraft.
I hope it comes to fruition, although with uboats involved that seems slightly more likely than not.
I'm confused as to what you guys want.
Do you want to do GCI, or fly?
Because flying an E-2 in missions would be pretty boring. Take off, fly a route/circuits for hours, then land.
Later than expected if the new features (in game skin changes, new GUI, new server browser, etc...) that have been shown off in the custom Normandy early access version are what ED are spending their limited resources working on.
I know a lot of the delay is the new Caucasus map and mappers aren't programmers, but it is starting to wear a bit thin now.
In England yes, blacking out lights was a thing, but not all way through the war. 1944 onwards there wasn't a full blackout unless an alert was issued.
I don't know if that applied to France as well though, considering majority of the map is Normandy and it wasn't the subject of late night bombing raids like England was.
You puchased a key for the Gazelle for DCS World. Not a key for 2.0 or 1.5.
The Gazelle is available in both versions on DCS World.
As you bought it off ED's website, you can download the 1.5 and 2.0 version standalones and run both.
You cannot use your ED bought key on Steam.
Personally, I'd use the standalones. You get patches quicker and can have as many versions as you need.
Just had a fly around in SP and the ASO-2 is working fine for me.
Are all the correct switches flipped?
Have you checked your loadout to make sure you actually have flares/chaff in the ASO-2's and you're not carrying empty dispensers?
Are you running any mods for the Mig-21?
Good luck with your new project.
Can I suggest you keep a bit quieter about this one and consolidate updates into less posts when you've actually got meaningful work done?
Your Pak-Fa topic reached 80+ pages of mostly you going "I did a small thing" in single posts, which actually made it quite hard to follow the progress.
ED didn't do that with NTTR. So, no.
Besides, it would be terrible form to do so. Why do you think we (as backers) are more worthy than the folks who've paid in the pre-purchase phase? All of us have dropped the cash at this point.
It also makes more work for ED.
