If you're referring to the China asset pack, it's free and keeps updating

Just curious, would one or two of these Su-30s be added to the game as AI units with the help of ED? Like the Su-30MKK could be an addition for the China Asset Pack for Deka Ironworks?

True, but normally if someone makes a separate mod that needs to be downloaded and used, that might compromise integrity

Well we had the F-5E-3 AI before the module came out, this was back when 1.5 was brand new How so? Just curious

How about an FC3 level F-15 ACTIVE or Su-35?

So I'm trying to buy the SOH map, and I'm using a VISA Gift card of about $68. I tried using this gift card to buy the F/A-18, it wasn't getting accepted normally so I loaded it on my Paypal account and tied using it through that (even ED customer support recommended this) and it still didn't get accepted. I gave up on that and just used my normal debit card and bought the F/A-18 finally. Now that the SOH map is out I decided to try it again but still no luck. I got this gift card a while back and saved it till now just to use it on one of the upcoming DCS Modules specifically. It would be a real heartbreaker if this isn't possible :( Why won't it at least accept it if it's from Paypal?

It doesn't matter if they release the AI version before or after release. However I'm simply curious to know if the AI and model can be in the game regardless of whether or not the person has the module? That way the integrity isn't compromised and to have the module you simply download it, and you get the cockpit, systems, theme etc that is there for any of the other modules in the game.

Heatblur spoke of making a separate Iranian F-14A which would come without a TV camera, and possibly a few other things like a downgraded radar or undermaintained TF-30 engines possibly. Check their latest update

A mod would compromise integrity

Or maybe they can simply have them speak English in an Iranian accent or something

Yup, thanks for clarifying. I was positive that was it, and idk why he said that it isn't

I'm pretty sure Farsi is an Iranian language. Nevertheless the point was to see whether the native Iranian language would be implemented onto the Iranian F-14's Jester AI regardless of how many of the DCS players speak it. They could use subtitles for it too, I'm pretty sure the English one might just have subtitles anyways so that should do it

Since there will be a separate Iranian F-14, would it's Jester AI be talking in Arabic or Farsi?

Could you please name a few units that might be in the new assets for this map. Also will those assets have to be bought separately or will they be included in the updates? Suggestion: In this livestream (or another) could you show off maybe one of the upcoming AI assets of the Gulf map? [EG refuel your Hornet from an Iranian or Saudi Arabian Tanker (if it's included)]

Hey Rick, looks like that link isn't working anymore. Was it taken down?

It was stated by Nick that the Iranian F-14 would be a separate version, and on of the notable differences would be the removal of the TV camera as seen above in the picture

Roger that, I shall do that shortly. :thumbup:

There is also a case of Iranian F-14s carrying Russian and probably Chinese missiles too. Here's a few shots of what looks like an R-27 on the F-14.... And in this one I'm not sure but it appears to be a SAM HAWK missile on the F-14..

That's not half bad honestly, I was expecting much worse for them. Also how about no covers for the mid air refueling probes, almost all Iranian Tomcats appear to be missing those. Take a look here..... I think it would also add to the details of how weathered and beaten these planes are

Yep it's legit, it's called the HESA Saeqeh, I believe it's engines are slightly more powerful than the standard F-5E and it's twin tails offer better control at higher AOA

Aside from the Forrestal CBG for both the F-14A and B, what else might be included? Is there a possibility to see a new S-3 Viking model? And for the Iranian Tomcats, would their be maybe be a HESA Saeqeh or the KC-707 or KC-747 tanker as assets? There are already some pre-existing planes in the game which can be used as Iranian assets like the Su-24, Mig-29A and the Su-25A.

Ok but I'm just curious to know what the Iranian F-14 might have since it would be notable different from the standard F-14A

How about Aggresor Cats ;)

Since it was stated that there would be a special variant of the Iranian F-14, would that be the F-14AM? If so would it contain any of these possible upgrades? http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread1065315/pg1 The link states that not only does it have an all new digital upgrade for the AWG-9 Radar, but also an Iranian built version of the Pheonix missile which is supposedly better than the original one (I'm sure this missile can't be made for DCS for obvious classification reasons) But I'm curious, what can be incorporated that is different or possibly better than the standard F-14A (except for the lack of a TV camera)?

The KC-707 has something similar, especially the Iranian KC-707s. This could also pave way for French KC-135s or even an Airbus A330 MRTT
