Thanks, have some of their MSFS offerings over the years, was wondering about this DCS debut.

What state/condition will the map be in when released? Will the majority of the areas be built on release, in need of refining/completing or will it be like the announced Afghanistan map, and in different phases?

Had not seen mention of it and the first time I asked about it got ignored, as usual. At least now I know, thanks.

Still wondering if there will be any water areas to the south for conducting naval flight operations before I decide on it or are we just going to forget about the Supercarrier module with this map?

Can you ask if there are any plans to add water for naval flight operations to it as well when you're asking?

Over the 20-year period of US presence in the region, naval carrier flight operations were a part of the US air campaign in Afghanistan over the years. We've all seen many videos of just such operations on Youtube or TV. Are there any plans on expanding south at any time to include enough water for carrier operations?

Over the years, whenever there was a new DCS module announced, there has been a DCS: (Insert name here) thread started soon after, including the MiG-29A announced at the end of the 2024 and Beyond video. I've noticed there never has been one made for the Hellcat, even though it was hinted strongly at in the 2023 video's end, but not announced. Has there been/will there be an official announcement on this aircraft and the accompanying Enterprise flattop we've all seen mention of in the Newsletter any time soon?

I know I'm most likely grasping for straws, but I have to ask if you have any plans on bringing the new and improved external navigation/position lights into the FC3 fold?

Was curious if it was possible to add an ATIS system to SP missions/campaigns with the new VC system? If not, is anything like that planned?

Yes, I know. That's why I stated the selections were greyed out AFTER running a mission and I went back to the Options section. The lower right of my main screen tells me I'm on the MT version.

Gone from running default High settings with a few settings increased and averaging 50-80 FPS to ANY default setting being a constant stutter. Running 1080, so it's not like it's pushing a lot to start. I can run it ONCE after changing the graphic setting to any of the 3 for flat screens and my test mission, Spitfire in Free Flight at The Channel, runs buttery smooth for maybe 30 seconds then any attempt at a flyby view looks like thumbing through a photo album. One thing I noticed, once I get back to the Options screen, some of the new graphics settings are greyed out, no matter if they are on or off, depending on the default level I chose. Even default Low becomes a mess after the aforementioned 30 seconds.

...PLEASE consider bringing your wonderful MSFS P-38 into DCS at some point. It's become one of my go-to planes there and would be a joy in this environment.

Yep, that one. Was a nice surprise addition as I hadn't been paying attention for a while.

Was curious if there are any plans to add a working kneeboard to the new pilot model, like the F/A-18 has? Was a nice welcome addition when I began my DCS experience this quarter after burning out on iRacing

The first initial load on a cold start of my PC seems to be the worst loading time. After that, if I close DCS and re-start it, the load times are closer to the old ones but still not quite as fast.
