Ok, so I tried to refuel with IL-78 and no problem. I tried with US counterparts and no joy, even tough there is a film on youtube where guy shows how to do AAR in JF-17 using KC-130. Is there something I need to configure in editor to be able to do that?

I absolutely agree with OP.

That's really good to hear. Now, please tell me JF-17 will have a damage model & external lights upon EA release. A week ago I wouldn't ask, but now I'm kind of concerned.

Can we learn how the SD-10 will compare in DCS to AIM-120B/C? Also, will SD-10 and PL-5EII be usable by J-11 in the future?

Please leave the IFF as is. I don't have issue with it in MiG-21 (similar thing) and I wouldn't want to see this changed in JF-17, just because some people want to play airquake rather than a simulator.

Actually, what kind of navigational beacon system does JF-17 utilize? TACAN, RSBN or maybe some Chinese equivalent of thereof (if there is one)?

This is nothing short of impressive. I am really looking forward to play this module.

While this is great news of course, would you find it possible to implement an AI model of a Chinese fighter (J-10 or any other really) prior/parallel to working on new flyable module? My reason for that is to increase the variety of Chinese air units, similarly to what you are doing with ground units at the moment. This in turn will help to create more interesting scenarios for everybody.

Unfortunate, but makes sense I guess. I understand then that AG missiles turn on their engines only after a while, so that similar issue is not encountered. At least I don't think fuel will be an issue during CAP missions with 3 fuel pods available instead :) Thank you.

They look absolutely amazing, and yes, that is exactly what I had in mind :). I hope these skins will eventually be implemented into the module. Edit: Actually, I have another question. This time regarding payload: Will there be a dual rail available for SD-10 missiles? If so, will it be possible to carry a total of four of such rails on pylons 6,4,3 and 2, or just two on outer pylons of the wings (6 and 2), as the provided picture suggests. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190320/794ce3d2e613ee82ca6b0be422aeec63.jpg As always, thank you in advance for any answer.

Thank you very much L0op8ack. And good hunting :)

I wonder about few things: - With most sensor and weapons complete, what will be missed out for EA release? - Does EA release date depend on cockpit completion? Some knobs, I believe, were placeholders. - Apart from Pakistan Myanmar and China, will we get any fictional skins? Like, for instance, Aggressor Squadron, or fictional Russian skin sort of stuff. - As far as I know, JF-17 of Pakistani Air force is able to carry US missiles (AIM-120 and AIM-9). Will the JF-17 in DCS be able to carry them as well? Thank you in advance for any answers.

Absolutely amazing! Keep up the great work Deka!

Pretty big news for such a short post. Thank you. We will wait impatiently :)

That is well pointed out, tough with potential release date this close I am willing to bet there is no pre-order planned and as such we might be able to at least get some youtuber to test is after release before we buy it. Fine by me. As always: Caveat emptor

While I fullly support this idea and gave M3 guys a heads-up already I give it about 5-10% chance of success. Worth trying tough, maybe we will live to the day when Hornet pilots shall shout "MiG-21 OP" :D

Thank you again for sharing. Maybe Deka guys should consider making you their Community Manager, or something in that area :smilewink:

Thank you for sharing. Let's hope for official release date from Deka in the coming weeks.

JF-17 will be, upon release, direct competitor to ED's F-16 module, if the two will get released at more or less the same time. There will be people that will afford to buy both and have enough time on their hands to fly both of them, but same is true for the opposite. Some people will need to chose one and not the other due to financial, or time constraints. F-16 is bound to win such competition, as it is much more popular aircraft. While the summer EA release date was missed, when the JF-17 would be pretty much unopposed in terms of sales, I wonder if Deka is able to declare if it is going to be released in coming months, or wait until winter/next year.

Most important thing is they did admit there is a problem and informed that they are working on it. My faith in ED has been restored :).

I have 8GB RAM. Apparently that is not enough to be able to join even an empty server.

Hello. I have a problem with embarking/disembarking troops. I pick a Huey/Mi8 (regardles) and select embark in advance waypoint options and pick the infantry unit that is supposed to be transported. I also create an infantry squad (consisting of just 1 guy). I also make them transportable. I then select the same embark option and unit that is supposed to transport this brave guy. So far everything exactly as per numerous tutorials I found on the net. Here is where the issue start: 1. There is no "disembark" option for the infantry. At all. 2. Infantry does not embark on the transport, while the heli has landed nicely and await it's cargo. Troops either proceeds to the next waypoint, or stands still if there is no other waypoint. I tried using a sample mission sombody created to see if I'm missing something, but the same thing occured. Is it a known bug? Or did the mechanics change lately and different set of command is needed? Thanks for advice.
