Anyway, an update on the next newsletter that doesn't have much going on would be cool!

What? Where was this? The original estimation was October but last I heard in one if the interviews was first quarter 2021.

I asked and was told no. I'll buy it if it ever comes.

I love it too. looking forward to more from that era.

Looking forward to it!

Congratulations on becoming a third party! I really enjoyed the mod and I look forward to the full module. I hope you go on to bring more aircraft to DCS as well.

So it's been quite a while since we've had an update on the mirage F-1. Vibora has said their priority is the C-101 which I appreciate and respect. I love that aircraft and I'm very happy with my purchase(s) of it. That being said, Id like to ask Aviodev for a 2020 end of the year update on the F-1 sometime between Christmas and the new year. What ever progress there has been on it I would be grateful to hear whether its just art or coding or a road map of sorts.

The guy has some points. Heatblur certainly gets more goodwill than others, but Id say they've earned it. Sorry he's not into it but oh well.

"Thats just like, your opinion man"

This would be my vote. I didn't vote in the poll since there isn't an exact option. Looking forward to seeing if you can turn around the Razbam community relationhip. No snark or sarcasm intended:thumbup:

I don't even want a Tornado but you all love it so much I'm rooting for you:thumbup:

Thank you for the response. Sorry if that came off as rumor mongering, I certainly understand and agree with your thoughts on EA and announcing modules. Just to split a hair though my comment wasn't about trying to get you to confirm you would do module X or Y next, just that there would be continued development for DCS. Up until now the only commitment I could find was to product completion and sustainment. But I apologize if anything came off as critical and thank you for the answer. I look forward to all of heatblurs projects:thumbup:

At the battle of midway carriers were lost to single hits from dive bombers. This can be attributed to unsafe storage of bombs and fuel and poor damge control. When we do Have a Pacific theatre I doubt we will have detailed damage models so I'd like to see the crew skill setting directly affecting the number of hit points a ship has. If we want a ship to have excellent luck and damage control set it veteran. If we want lucky shots and poor damge control set it to rookie.

I really hope we get a torpedo bomber version as well. Hopefully there's no significant differences so its as simple as strapping the torpedo to the bottom. It would be good stand in for the Pacific map for awhile.

Its managing thise seperate engines that I'm really looking forward to. The Yak, Fw A-8, and P-47 all released with indestructible(from abuse) engines. Hopefully having the merlin in game already makes it easier but I certainly understand its different from the spitfire.

That would be amazing but Im still nervous about heatblur continuing to develop new modules for DCS. Since the announcement of their partnership outiside of DCS they have avoided commenting on if they will do another module or just completion/sustainment on their current ones

I'd request that a condition for ea release would be having all the engine systems and damage modelled correctly. Shouldn't be hard since they already have the merlin fleshed out for the spitfire.

That may be it's real specs but I've never had a problem with it giving me a head on lock.

Yep, I think the problem is I remember it from am interview and can't remember where to look. I appreciate the help though. I'm pretty sure its relatively near though. Like 18 month window? But of course thats the vague recollection Diedrich mentions.

Please check on the F-5 and Mig-21 then which both have all aspect and rear aspect only missles that work appropriately.

I'm still confused by this. The M on the 101 should be all aspect but as kontiuka said I can only get a lock in the 3-9 aspect. The F-5 and mig-21 both have a mix of rear aspect and all aspect missles so how is this a DCS limitation? Not trying to be overly critical of Aviodev. I love the 101 but would like to see this addressed Since eventually I'll be hunting Super Tucanos in it.

Hmm, I thought I had read someone saying it was in a flyable state. That would suggest more than passive development but I could be wrong.

Another thing is aren't they less advanced than the M and isn't our M lacking the all aspect ability that it should have? So you if you want those to simulate older conflicts with a fictional 101 you already have the non all aspect M?

Does anyone remember if this was a rough timeline on this one? Like early 2021 or late 21?

I'm pro Gbu-12 but I don't see the need for this. Release it as a mod and thats fine but trying to get it in the actual module is giving the anti gbu'ers ammo in the "give an inch and take a mile" sense.
