Bad AI and different flight dynamics for me and the ai is why I play multiplayer

Just dropping by to say thank you to ED for making it so this module doesn't split the multiplayer base! I'll definitely be buying it.

Well I hope Aviodev charges enough to turn a profit and keep making modules! Asking for 39.99... Probably best to wait for a sale if thats your limit because I doubt they can make money at that price point.

Yea, but even then I wouldn't start flashing weird nunbers all over myself lol. Anyway point was its a bug but not one I'm particularly bothered by since its user error anyway. Im happy to see improvements being made to the most important ones.

Oh and don't start up the tpod while still on the ground. Thats probably user error but when I did it the screen freaked out.

So a few posts ago I was pretty harsh on Razbam but I wanted to say thanks for the recent update. If you can keep up with regular updates and fixes I'll be pleased and willing to continue to support future products. The Harrier still needs plenty of work, but Im encouraged by recent fixes.

This stuff happens in games and its very rare here. I think I can remember one other time its happened in the past three years and even then its fixed quickly...

I just hate those damn sniper rounds from tanks and ifv's. I wish there was a way to take them out of their load out.

Well we have different experiences in them then. Fair enough.

So its a little misleading to say the Huey's tailrotor is weak. They did make upgrades like the strakes and fast fin to improve it so there was an issue but it's not that bad. A 206 has about the weakest tailrotor of any helicopter and you only get into trouble there if you're sloppy flying it. Here's a link to some pilots arguing about LTE. Feel free to make a profile and ask if the Huey is a problem... http://helicopterforum.verticalreference.com/topic/21718-the-hudson-river-lte-accident/ That being said LTE is a thing and it would be nice to see it modeled. I just don't want to see it exagerated like VRS is in the Huey and Mi-8.

I'm pretty much over Razbam because of the Harrier. It's a shame because they have some stuff in the pipeline I'm excited about. I like the Mirage despite its few flaws but I look at the Harrier and think how could I expect them to do the F-15E? Or even a glass cockpit super tucano? I bought the mig-19 to show support for the desperately needed red air and I want the Mig-23. But money talks and after giving up hope on the Harrier my only voice is my wallet. I'm sorry for the negativity and I'm not trying to be rude. I WANT Razbam to succeed. We need devs. But I'm not coming back to Razbam aircraft until the Harrier is sorted.

How about a "great news" instead of something that sounds like a threat?

We got a commitment that they'd get back to work on the module. Can we stop telling each other how we should or shouldn't feel abou it? If you're happy with it Great! No sarcasm intended. But I don't think its unreasonable to expect more progress than we've seen and to make those expectations known to ED. To which I again say thank you for setting when we can expect to see progress.

In that case I'd say leave them out but thats a mild leave them out. I won't sharpen my pitchfork if they're put in.

Well is it a matter of doctrine or were they incapable of using them? if it's just a matter of strapping them to the pilots head and it was just never done in real life lets have it. If there's a reason why NVGs wouldn't work in them than leave them out.

Yes please

I'd buy it for being a tanker and its limited attack abilities but I wouldn't expect them to add the ASW stuff for it.

@Danvac perhaps my interpretation of the sales page is unreasonable. I obviously don't think so but ED is welcome to tell me I'm wrong. In any case I'm not worried about the money. I'd just like to be able to use navigation features in the L-39 because it's one of my favorite modules. Sure I can follow a pink line or use its CDI, but you're not doing proper IFR flying that way.

Thank you Nineline.

Understood Nineline. And to be clear I wasn't complaining about the blackshark upgrade and the FW-190A-8 is clearly something that should be paid for. I just don't want to see a situation where you buy a module then add on it's features ala carte.

I don't like a subscription model either. it ends up being much more money in the long run, but that's the point. Old modules need maintenance, ED has to pay for it. So they release a new module but with every new module they are supporting the maintenance of more and more old ones so they see diminishing returns. It's like the failing American program of social security. fewer people paying in to support more retirees. Eventually it will be impossible for ED to pay for the maintenance of 30 old modules by releasing one new one. So one by one older modules will be come incompatible as maintenance stops. Or i suppose they can periodically have us pay to upgrade an old module to the newest version of DCS world...

@Danvac, we bought the Yak EA expecting a reasonable pace of completion. While reasonable pace is debatable no progress is not... I don't see it as unreasonable to say you won't buy anything else until this is fixed regardless of how much he flies other modules.

Also from the pop up window l-39 bundle page.... "DCS: NS 430 Navigation System for DCS: L-39С Cockpit The NS 430 for the L-39 module integrates the NS 430 panel directly into the L-39C cockpit (not as a pop-up display). The NS 430 is fully wired into the electrical and radio systems of the L-39." Empasis on "The NS 430 is fully wired into the electrical and radio systems of the L-39."

"Serves as both a communications radio, navigation radio, and GPS receiver" It's not a navigation radio if it has no VOR/ILS outputs. And that's fine for the one that's just a pop up window but for the one that is integrated into the cockpit I expect it to work with the HSI. Frankly I don't expect them to touch this module again. I'm hoping nineline or someone will come by and say "hey we'll get to it eventually but it'll be awhile" but between this and the Yak-52 it makes me afraid to buy other low demand modules.

My two cents... I really don't have a problem with his and I'll buy the upgrade. It just makes me a bit nervous about the potential for selling individual features. There was that WW1 flight sim where they would sell compasses VSI's etc after you bought a plane. If ED wants to sell me a new variant great! Out comes my wallet! Like the F-5 that had mavericks or something like that. But just don't charge me for something that should have come with the aircraft like Huey multi crew or adding a tpod or weapon system to an aircraft that should have had it. And I'm not saying you will do that it just makes me raise an eyebrow. Now I know these aircraft need maintenance and its difficult to justify spending the money on them when you've already sold about as many as you ever will. I really don't want a subscription based service but given the nature of DCS maybe it should be considered?
