Dear All, to make it clear for everyone. The price policy will remain the same as we announced it in October: It was my personal mistake in March 2023 newsletter.

The reason why the scripting environment was NOT mentioned in the newsletter is that I'm looking for suitable and passioned developers who will participate. I don't want to set the plans and announce them without the people who will be actually working in this area. If I will be able to find right candidates, we'll make a roadmap and share it with the community. We know what to do and have great feedback and suggestions.

Проблема задокументирована, проверена, будет решаться. Находится в списке задач, остается в списке TODO, в ближайшее время в работу не возьмем.

Yes, there is still no trial for Mosquito. We haven't forgotten about it. It's not added to the trial on purpose. It will be added to trial program during Autumn. There are a lot of videos and reviews for Mosquito to make the decision. And if you are still unsure we will provide the possibility to try it later on.

Official statement of implementation for DLSS. Dear Customers, Thank you for all the comments and thoughts written in this thread about the topic and your care and support of DCS. We made a first look at the technology and tried it with DCS. We didn't expect it to work out of the box and we will look at the possibility to use it later. Please always have in mind that any new approach or technology delivered by graphic cards manufacturers are tried by Eagle Dynamics development team and we always stay on top of such topics to improve and extend Eagle Dynamics Graphic Engine. Sincerely, Chief Operating Officer Kate Perederko

да, навсегда

В планах пока нет, но в какой-то момент поддерживать скорее всего будем. Пока будем наблюдать.

Dear All, Join the stream with ED Mi-24P project manager Alex Podvoisky. You'll get the answers about main and hot questions about the project.

Dear All, As soon as I will be ready to share with you the roadmap, I will. Right now we finalising a not easy year for everyone. We do have plans for 2021. Sincerely, Chief Operational Officer Kate Perederko

Dear All, I would like to stop the speculations about 262. It is not in development at the moment. I do not want to tell you which aircraft will be started after Mosquito. Right now we focused on Mosquito and we want to make at high level. Sincerely, Kate Perederko Chief Operational Officer

Thank you for your questions! We use WebRTC as a base solution. DCS Voice Chat works out of the box, so users don't need to install anything to get voice communications within DCS World. We don't plan to restrict usage of any external solution that are already available or will be developed. However, we have our own as a component for DCS World. It's up to users to use the solution they want and they are comfortable with. ED do not plan to provide access to any external software to DCS Voice Chat at the moment. We might consider such possibility later on. We are always open for cooperation.

Tasks will receive statuses as soon as work will be started.

The bug was fixed with yesterday's Open Beta version.

All bugs or issues or improvements related to weapon systems are a bit different topic and has it's own pipeline.

It's not related to Hornet only. This bug will be taken into consideration for development during summer time. However, I cannot say that we will definitely fix it this summer. We will have a special session to review bugs for DCS Core and work with the priorities.

I would prefer to discuss the Mission planning tool as a separate thread and focus on it so the ideas are not lost. We want to incorporate the efforts that were already done by 3rd parties and refactor it together to prepare the best possible tools for all aircraft.

The videos about coming today features were posted for you by Matt: https://www.youtube.com/user/wagmatt/videos

For us it's a part of the task "Coupled autopilot modes".

Yes, I do and it's the plan. I posted the list of features but it's not the same as the bug list. At the moment we have 375 issues to be delivered in total for Hornet. And the navigation suit will be delivered as it's mentioned in the list.

because of resources allocation

I hope it gave you the transparency that was required and the list of features that should be expected. Moreover, with the release of the features, the community can see how we progress and will we meet the goals.

It's not a matter of difficulty. It's about the priority for the community and the willing to deliver what is important for the community in terms of gameplay and product usage.

Yes, the flight model update includes FCS warnings and damage model update.

Yes

Dear Hornet Pilots, Thank you for your participation in our F/A-18C Hornet Roadmap features poll. 3000 responses were received and thank you for your valuable feedback and participation. The chart below illustrates your priorities. In summary: We have reconsidered our plans in accordance with your priorities, and adjusted our planning based on this and our capabilities and available development time. The final list of features that are planned to be delivered for DCS: F/A-18C Hornet: Completion of the Litening Targeting Pod [completed] Dynamic launch zones and AUTO LOFT mode for JDAM [completed] AG radar: Real Beam Ground Map (MAP) [completed] SLAM air-to-surface missile [completed] AG radar.

Mk-77 firebomb (visual effect first required). GEN-X decoy (missing needed data). Additional MSI functions. We have one encompassing feature that requires cooperation between the F/A-18C and F-16C Team, the DCS Core Team, and 3rd Party Developers: create a shared planning environment and agree on a single strategy to support mission planning for many aircraft types. This includes an Aircraft Setup Card in Options and a Mission Planning Card for waypoints with properties (Sequences, Target Points, Pre-Planned Targets, Pre-Briefed Targets, Initial Points, Bullseyes, etc.) and MUMI and similar pages. This is a complex task that we have been designing, and we will be working with all participants to create the best Aircraft Setup and Mission Planner possible.
