The reason why it's not on steam is because steam requires a set date of release which Heatblur hasn't gotten yet. Once the release date is set it will be put on steam.

Yes you can see them clearly @ 2:25 behind the tank. The funny thing is that the tank's sprocket doesn't move.

Yes. The same way as the Tomcat.

Corporate wants you to find the differences between these photos.

I would assume it will be available to everyone like the F-14 manual.

As I have understood it Steam will have the same price as the ED and Heatblur stores. Once it's released into early access it will go to full price.

I mean to say that it will most likely have a discount on steam as well. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't.

I would be surprised if you didn't.

When you preorder from the Heatblur store you will get an email with a serial number that you will have to enter at the ED site when it becomes available.

Q: What variants will the Heatblur F-4 Phantom include? A: The first release will be DCS: F-4E, the iconic land based variant of the Phantom. We will be launching two variants of the -E; a “classic era” F-4E (blocks 36-45 with updates retrofitted in 1974 and before, including new slats, DSCG and AGM-65) as well as an upgraded (DMAS) version of the aircraft in one package. From the FAQ.

This is a preorder. The module hasn't been released in early access yet. When it will release, sometime this winter, you will enter the serial number you received in the email to the DCS webpage.

Wait. Does the Tomcat have that binding because I can't find it. I can only see it for the Viggen.

I really hope this is fixed quickly.

Umm, It's actually an F4u-1d.

Back in the day when we had a couple of full fidelity modules sales weren't really affected but nowadays there are so many modules that have been announced that it is impractical to get them all either due to cost or the lack of time you have to fly them. I might have been more excited about the F-15 if I didn't know that the F-4, F-8, A-6 and A-7 were coming. Not to mention all the modules I already have but haven't had the chance to fly them very much. So I don't think it's one module that is affecting the sales of another but a bigger change in DCS. We now have more planes than we have time to fly them.

Fast alignment should take approximately 3 minutes according to the manual.

Yes. It's the stored heading alignment.

As I understand it, yes. Although I don't get why.

Even if they did decide to make it don't expect to see it any time soon. We still haven't gotten the J-35 and the A-6 and KA-6.

I think it's far away enough that there is no point in speculating if it will come before or after the Intruder.

Yes

This could make an interesting scenario for a mission.

Doesn't the Forrestal have bridle catchers? Of course the procedure would be different from the launch bar system but not that different. Still I expect it to be long before it is supported by the supercarrier module, if we get support for the Forrestal.

Heatblur did for the Tomcat.
