I mean this is sort of where I stand on it. They say the AV-8B NA should be done by the end of the year, the M2000C should get a nice update by the end of the year, & I think the MiG-19P release by the end of the year. They still have 4 months. If after that they have failed to meet expectations I will adjust my opinion. I did the same for Heatblur after the Tomcat got delayed a year, for them it comes down to how close to feature complete the bird is on release now.

Hornet radar is awful for A2A right now, see the video posted to Hoggit today, and since we don't have A2G precision weapons I have given up flying it for now. The AV-8B is at least capable right now for it's main role of ground attack with precision weapons (Still waiting for JDAM though). AFAIK the person working on the AV-8B NA Right now is doing the INS code and that is supposed to be a big task. So like ED right now working on the Hornet Radar and other behind the scenes stuff there is less accomplished for the same amount of work. I guess whatever issue people are concerned about isnt a top priority. I dont really care what way a dev team wants to release modules, a year overdue but feature complete like the F-14B or early and WIP like the AV-8B NA. Seems to take the same amount of time either way... Seems like RAZBAM is taking a page from Heatblurs book since the MiG-19P is supposed release finished sate with an S in development.

It's been quiet here... :music_whistling: How do people here plan to set up their HOTAS for the rear cockpit?

Did they actually officially secure an agreement with the AdA?

I really would like to know what year they are going for and thus what weapon systems we can expect to employ from it. We were told it would get the SNIPER targeting pod in the F-15E thread so that would put it around at least 2005. If they do 2006 we could get GBU-39 Small Diameter Bombs. We probably wont get AIM-9X or JHMCs though since those are just now going to the Strike Eagle.

I think the update videos & interviews will go a long way to help to give the community a better understanding of what is going on and how things are progressing. Hoping to hear more about your projects in the coming videos!

Exactly, and I would be pretty sure most of the information around Electronic Warfare is classified to where it would be hard to implement in DCS.

Maybe we will get an A-6E from Heatblur and an A-6C from RAZBAM or something. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'd suggest EA-6B Prowler but I dont think EWAR in DCS has a high enough fidelity to make it viable to base a module around it.

So while it seems like it is going to be AI for now, Cobra said that subject to a license agreement, they hope to eventually introduce it into DCS world as a full DCS module. I would love to see an Intruder in DCS & the model looks amazing so far. I am sort of surprised though since I thought RAZBAM was planning to do an A-6. Either way my hype level just shot way up!

I'd assume 4 unless we got some sort of double missile rack.

I'd like one with the new glass cockpit though I doubt any info would be available on it.

I assumed clickable cockpits and fully modeled systems are a given with any full fidelity module. I just want something that is roughly on par with the F-15C from a multiplayer perspective on early access release.

As long as it is on par with the F-15C on release I will be satisfied enough to play it instead of the F-15C.

A few months.

What is actually wrong with the M2000C? Only thing I can think of is lack of A2G terrain radar that is being held up because they choose to wait for ED to release their A2G Radar. That and some modes on the PCA that had no info available. Maybe with their relationship with Armée de l'air they can implement whatever functionality is unknown. I mean they literally have a post on Facebook of one of them sitting in the actual M2000C simulator. Same for the Super Tucano IIRC. Really though I've been pretty satisfied with the Mirage.

I don't really have a problem with the rate of updates. I mean it is not the same as though you were given a date it was going to be complete by. Personally I'd rather play a feature incomplete module like the AV-8B NA or F/A-18C now than have to be stuck waiting for them to be finished. I mean I waited years for the F/A-18C since it was announced to finally just come into Early Access 2 months ago. The question I would pose is should ED set a list of requirements for modules to enter Early Access?

To assist the pilot I suppose.

Some more UFC images were posted on Facebook, looks like they textured the switches and knobs.

If it was stated from the start that FC4 would feature dumbed down full fidelity aircraft nobody would be up in arms. Please stop blaming the community for doing the one thing it does every time something like this happens and setting perfectly reasonable expectations based on past experience. The only reason I own FC3 is because it offers aircraft that are not otherwise available in the sim. If I get FC4 why should I use the full fidelity aircraft to fly in multiplayer when I can just use the easy version to gain an advantage? We don't really have an option with FC3 because there are not enough full fidelity fighters yet to do away with the simple FC3 level aircraft in multiplayer. If server owners disallow the FC4 aircraft as I have seen suggested here, what is the point in buying them over the full fidelity aircraft? Unless you fly singleplayer, but then why not get the full fidelity aircraft? Will there be a discount on upgrading to full fidelity? Will these aircraft take up the same slot in multiplayer servers as their full fidelity counterparts? Will we be able to block these aircraft in multiplayer servers while still allowing their full fidelity counterparts? Also this argument that you wouldnt want them doing a FC3 F-16 when they are already making a full fidelity one. I dont get it because in the end the result is the same; you end up with one aircraft that has a simple variant and a full fidelity variant. I'll be honest and say I think the FC series should slowly be done away with entirely and replaced with all full fidelity aircraft though. If the F/A-18 still has a quickstart keybind what is the difference?

Indeed, last week Razbam posted this.

QTY refers to bombs dropped per multiple. MULT refers to how many drops you want. INTV x 10 refers to the distance between each drop. You have it set to drop 12 bombs at once. If you want to drop 12 bombs and have each one 60 feet apart you would need to set QTY to 1, MULT to 12 (if you can) and INTV x10 to 006 as you have it.
