@TOViper, first of all thanks for taking a look DCS is freezing and unfortunately I can't provide further information because DCS simply freezes and I can't do anything other than click the left mouse button which gives me the option to wait for the program to close or to close the program in any case. I tried to wait several times without success, so I close the program (DCS) and go back to the desktop. Today, after an in-depth repair (check all files), I flew the lesson 4 basics (training) - pilot visual landing again, without problems, with a complete landing! I don't know if it can be useful or make a difference, but this time, during the approach to 22000 feet, I did not activate AFCS and autopilot (altitude-hold) and not turn on the instrument and console lights. Thanks again. Antonio.

First of all, I don't have any MOD installed, repair done, no VR. - lesson 4 basics (training) - pilot visual landing. The mission keeps freezing and I'm forced to go back to. Sometimes a few minutes after taking, last time when abeam Kobuleti, startng penetration for landing. The following are small things: - during the first three training missions, the time on the ground before take-off is also counted as flight time. - lesson 1 basics (training) - pilot cold start, step 20a: with the function control switch (the knob) still pressed, moving the reference marker above and below the pointer, the low altitude warning light does not illuminate. - lesson 3 basics (training) - pilot take off and navigation, task 6 cruise: "... you may engage the autopilot in altitude-hold mode ..." You forgot to communicate (and to highlight in the cockpit) that AFCS must be activated first. I'm very satisfied with this plane. the degree of realism of the various systems, the readability of the instruments, the degree of immersion during startup procedures, is exceptional. Thanks again for your hard work.

Dear HB, you have done an awesome job. The degree of realism, the richness of detail and the degree of immersion are exceptional. I took some time to take things slowly; for now I have only tried the first two training lessons (pilot cold start and pilot taxi) several times. My PC is certainly not the latest generation, but I had no problems, apart from some lag in communications with Crew Chief using the Jester menu (sometimes the request must be repeated). Additionally, all of the aircraft's systems that I have tested seem to work as they should, as described in the manual. Thank you very much for your hard work in giving us a fabulous plane like this. (specifications of my PC: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770K CPU @ 3.50GHz, 32.0 GB installed RAM, WIN 10 64b, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti, TrackIR v5)

Yes, it's true. It would be really nice if they had already fixed the blocking issues and released the patch today ... For once, instead of postponing the patch to the next day, as always, perhaps bring it forward to the day before, i.e. today, i.e. the appointed day

Buono a sapersi, in effetti è quello che mi aspetto. Nell'annuncio del 17 marzo avevano chiaramente scritto "we have made the exceptionally tough decision to postpone the release of DCS: F-4E until early Spring, with an absolute worst case scenario launch in May".

Great news, thank you very much. I switched to flying F-14 because it's a splendid module, but flying your campaigns was an extraordinary turning point, at least for me. I will wait for these updates. PS I'm also waiting for the F-4E, so ...

Pre-purchased whole Afghanistan map yesterday. Thank You ED

As everyone prefers. Mine is just a simple suggestion in favor of those who want a sea coast from the Afghanistan map. Considering that adding a coastline to this incoming map would have an impact on performance, as already clarified by NineLine, it seemed logical to propose this possibility, because: - Zaranj is an airport already present on the incoming map of Afghanistan - based on geographical coordinates, Zaranj can be added to the Persian Gulf map (as highlighted in my screenshot) - both maps are created by ED, which also holds the rights (for modifications, additions or changes). So anyone (who wishes) can fly from the carrier to Zaranj with the PG map. And from Zaranj to all Afghanistan with this map. It could be a real possibility. That's all.

You could ask ED if they include Zaranj airport in the Persian Gulf map, which is already established for the Afghanistan map, so it will also be present in the PG map. The mission could be: PG map: takeoff from carrier, landing in Zaranj. Afghanistan map: take off from Zaranj to fly wherever you want. Honestly, it doesn't make sense and it's not worth it, at least for me (and even if I love carrier based planes): from the carrier to Zaranj about 400 NM of desolate terrain.

Thank you for this amazing work. Really impressive. I'm thinking about buying the whole map ... Can you confirm that the entire map in High Detail requires about 120GB?

AWESOME thank you!

and it's with great pleasure that I read this newsletter. just a couple of questions About the Mig-29A. Nothing is mentioned about the flight model. Are you forgetting this or are you planning to say something later? About Afghanistan Map. Does this mean there could be an expansion or completion of certain areas and airports not available at EA? Thanks for your work.

@IronMike thank you very much for this update. A little disappointed, but after reading (and I'll read with even more calm in the next few days) your explanations I fully understand and agree the reasons for the delay in release of F-4E. Indeed, I hope that the current adverse circumstances can be resolved as soon as possible and ALL of you can soon be fully healthy again. You are creating an extraordinary module, with innovative features that will give us a degree of realism and immersion that is currently unimaginable. And for those who, like me, have been real pilots for some time, this means a lot, a dream that continues on PC too. I am also really grateful for your way of managing relationships with the community, with honesty and transparency. Instead of quickly resolving the matter with "it's ready when it's ready" (an expression that is often used by some in a too simplistic and, in my opinion, even disrespectful way) you took the time to explain in detail, writing a lot, but a lot. I pre-ordered the F-4E almost immediately, and I'm still really happy I did. Thank you for your hard work and your genuine enthusiasm. Best regards. Antonio.

Forse il problema che hanno segnalato in questo topic e' simile al tuo e ci stanno lavorando

Copy that. Thanks.

Thank you for reply BIGNEWY. I knew this, I was wondering if it's possible to update DCS to this patch, temporarily excluding the update of Syria module, but without deleting it from my Module Manager. Maybe it's not possible... thanks anyway.

I've carefully read the changelog. WOW, a wonderful patch!!! Thanks to ALL of you (ED and 3rd party Partners) for this challenging work. Now, sorry for this short off topic, although still related to this patch. I've to download about 53 GB of files and I think that, in my case, many of them concern the Syria update. My internet connection is quite slow. Can I temporarily disable the Syria terrain, without deleting it, and resume its update later? So I can quickly download files and updates of my planes and try them immediately. Thanks for attention.

Finally some good news on F/A-18. I had abandoned this module for over a year because I was really weary about these gaps. I'm really satisfied with your commitment. Thanks a lot. Excellent, this means I will soon be taking my seat in F/A-18 cockpit again. On other hand, such an announcement only makes sense if all these improvements will be in the February patch and not in the October one. Thanks again.

@ThorBrasil Let's hope so. Anyway, thanks for sharing, I hadn't read about it.

@IronMike When I got home last night it was a really exciting surprise. Thank you so much to all you at HB for your hard and much appreciated work. Antonio.

Thanks a lot for manual and video.

@Zabuzard We eagerly await the manual, to begin to know this wonderful module much better before its release. Thank you.

@Rudel_chw Please check your PM. Thanks

Exceptional, a well done video. But above all, it was really exciting to see the stresses and performances of the F-4E during the airshow maneuvers. When I saw the first few minutes of the startup, it seemed like a dream. I never imagined I would enjoy tow-starter tractor assists in starting an F-4E (and in the future also an F-14 ). You at HB are doing a great job!!! Now all you have to do is grant us the privilege of flying on such a masterpiece.

Thanks for checking.
