If I was an F-22 flying with an F-35 I'd want to attract as little attention as possible too

Can you tell us anything about the improvement of RCS modelling in the DCS engine, and how closely that will be tied to the F-35? I'm curious whether improved RCS modelling is something that will be introduced concurrently with the F-35 or whether we are likely to see those changes incorporated earlier as part of the ongoing game engine improvement. Also, can you share anything about whether RCS modelling will be improved on existing aircraft, and whether there has been any decision on whether 3rd party modules entering EA between now and when RCS modelling is improved will be required to incorporate any required extra data into their modules at entry to EA?

This is exactly the kind of campaign I was hoping for - one where the player can take a hand in mission planning. I'll be buying this as soon as it's available, thanks for making it

To be fair, that came from an interview (translation posted here) more than five years ago and a year before TG even partnered with Heatblur, so I find it tough to take that as a comment on the current situation. Not too sure why you replied to this thread either, that interview is not the same as the one referred to here.

I think he's talking about the pilot staying at hot aspect to allow radar to track

If the release doesn’t come before September 30, will you have to offer Steam buyers refunds?

I get that - that's what I was saying, that ED will announce the release date at least four weeks in advance of the date, so that they can start selling it on Steam. We're obviously thinking alike anyhoo

I'd agree - I am on standalone, just saying ED will want presales from people who aren't

That seems like sound logic. Personally I'd expect ED to announce a date at least four weeks before, even if they have to delay things to make it happen, so that they allow time for Steam pre-sale. Just my guess (and no doubt a cynical one).

If A2G is your thing I'd say the Viggen might be worth your while. It's older with less complexity and no MFDs, which means no learning endless MFD pages. It was my first FF module, and I really liked that everything was based around low, fast flight, so my entire experience was refining that one way of flying. I really got a buzz out of going supersonic so low I had to *gain* altitude before releasing AIR bombing. It also took most of the difficulty out of target spotting, it's a lot easier at low altitude.

I'd really love to see the Indian Air Force skin mentioned here

If the choice is 'late' or 'underdeveloped', the former should win every time.

I thought so All good, everyone does late night word salad sometimes lol I had to add the 'f' word to my iphone dictionary so that would stop happening

I suspect the word 'offend' has mistranslated, can you offer an alternative word (synonym)? Or am I being a dummkopf?

Great concept! Really glad to see an upcoming F-14 campaign too. Day 1 buy for me.

Many thanks... And Raven is spot on, that was supposed to be Silver Dragon, I guess I have an answer now so I'll just apologize to Baltic for the wtf moment

If we get the air-to-air only EF next year (and it's as polished as the F-14 was on release) I'll be happy, I figured it was further away than that. @baltic_dragon I noticed your roadmap says 'Eurofighter Tranche 1' - has HB said anything more about which tranche we get, or is this just a 'worst case'?

I think it will be... assuming you mean before GTA 6 hits PC. j/k

Ha ha yeah ok you got me

Can't say I'd know the difference, care to explain?

Those fuzzy dice would look awesome over a sparrowhawk HUD...

Purchased and looking forward to this Do ED currently expect to deliver the "At final release" features when the module moves out of EA, or during product sustainment? Curious about when ED expect to get the full manual out - and I know, as always with Early Access, everything is subject to change

You nailed it. Good ideas for how to organize it too. If the 'and Beyond' builds someone's appetite for a particular module, the 'Coming Soon' would offer them the opportunity to check back every so often and check if there have been any updates. Easier than sifting through the forum, deeper than a dev roadmap and far easier than searching old newsletters.

Yeah, but it’s only once a year and you never know how far or close anything in it is. The two should go together, I’m not suggesting we get rid of the ‘… and Beyond’, neither would do the job of the other.
