it wouldn't surprise me if they include the Litening pod just as a stop gap while they release the Sniper as the final release version.

I suspect non advanced carrier module owners will still be able to land and interact on a basic level to prevent splintering MP, but wouldn't be able to use the hanger, briefing rooms, etc

Because it's a wish thread. People would like the F-14D to be made and they are discussing it. Don't be a wet blanket.

The USAF was not on board with the Raptor termination. They wanted at minimum another 80 F-22's, if not 100.

FYI..the Pentagon's office of the inspector general has opened an investigation into favoritism towards Boeing for the F-15X buy since the SecDef is a Boeing guy.

Just so you all know.. The guy who started this? Asked an innocent question..if he knew the CVW he was doing was already a unit in DCS and such. This guy instantly got defensive and the other fellow backed off when he was told it was single player and such and apologized and made it clear he meant no offense. This guy is literally screaming for attention and blowing things so far out of proportion you can't even see one side from the other.

Um... No. They're only buying 8, and there's no stated plans for 144 more. 8 F-15X's won't do anything.

So one thing that has come up, and maybe it's unavoidable.. If you have Jester, and a human RIO joins your aircraft, and then the RIO leaves again, Jester doesn't come back..he's just gone Likewise if you start with a human RIO and they have to leave for some reason, Jester isn't there.

Easy there Trigger McGee...it was just a random comment on the internet.

Do you have an example of a virtual group getting a C&D from a US military unit for using their stuff?

Okay so... You've posted this on hoggit, and it got pretty sourly received there You posted this on the DCS facebook group, and got the same reaction You've posted this here, and it's getting roughly the same. At what point are you going to go "you know what, maybe it's me" and just leave this alone.

It's doing it for me too.

The move to a Friday this week was a one off...it doesn't mean they've been moved to Fridays.

My money for the F-14 is already long gone, that order was done on October 7th. That said, I'll buy the MiG-19 and enjoy it too

Keep in mind the Sparrowhawk HUD came with the F-14B Upgrade, which brought a number of other systems, but namely the HUD and PTID in back. Information on that is very scarce due to being classified still.

What you did was gamble on a release date with no solid information on it. Sometimes when you gamble, you lose. If you took your vacation for nothing because the F-14 didn't release in that window..well..

What do guns have to do with this?

This was commented on and discounted weeks ago. HB said Wags spoke prematurely.

If ED pushes it back and sends it back for more revisions...it's not HB's fault. They submitted a RC that they felt was entirely appropriate to submit for release.

I thought the IDF was the only group to load the triple rack launchers on the F-16?

That's not how contracts work.

Three have been launched in anger, all failed. To be fair one missed because it was fired from max range and the target, a MiG-23, turned tail and ran at maximum speed...

Here I'm just happen we're still getting a Tomcat. Actual years of waiting boiled down to less than a month of waiting. I'm good.

Why would they want to maintain two painfully obsolete cold war relics?

All is well folks...it's back to Winter 2019
