Wonderful news. Great job guys.

Welcome lads. Please. do no bother with EA release. Complete product launch will give you better sales. I will buy it just to support that cause, even if I am not that interested in the jet itself.

I do understand what you mean, however, I am not entirely convinced that any rotating munition within DCS actually simulates the rotation physics in real time. Even for Vikhr scheme, the rotation looks purely visual. This became obvious when DEKA tried to exaggerate it's performance to match with BRM behaviour and it just went insane. As long as it behaves like the real thing, I am not too worried about what it looks like. And quite frankly, I do not see ED putting in the extra effort just for DEKA.

The developers said that they are waiting on APKWS weapon scheme to be modeled to finalize BRM. ED will be releasing it soon. So BRM will change too.

I just hope this was not a one off due to recent public outcry. I want them to keep this pace until the module is complete.

Not really a Su-30 fan but I would buy any Russian aricraft in a heartbeat. Not for $200 though. :)

Looks quite odd seeing so much sharp shards still stuck to the plane.

Preach on brother. This thread will probably be deleted or locked soon. Apparently Razbam need us to talk nice to them and not ask them for missing features or else they will stop talking here again. I just want either RAZBAM or any other developer to complete this module and properly simulate its barebone implementations. This is the only VTOL jet in this game so for me it holds a lot more value than F-15E, purely because of the versatility.

Thank you for some clarity and presenting us with insight on what you are working on. I will wait and see how much Harrier progresses until the approaching F-15E EA release. Any purchase on your future modules will depend on how you handle this plane towards completion. I understand your reasons and I hope you understand my restraints. I look forward to flying this jet again once more work has been done on it.

My best wishes to your colleague. We can wait. Make sure his/her health is a top priority.

I do appreciate you showing us your future plan of projects. Can you please discuss more about your future plans of current AV-8B? What are you major plans towards this module's completion? Will we begin seeing extensive list of bug fixes on patch notes from now on until it is in a more stable state? There will always be things breaking but try to work with the community a little more. Calling your customers toxic (Even if that is true) is not professional. Please speak here in a different tone than what you are used to with your mates within Razbam.

I do hope the Harrier gets finished but I get the feeling we will be here again when they rush out F-15E from EA because their pipeline is full of projects which requires resources and coders. Time will tell. Doing regular patches to Harrier from now on is a good start.

How did they do all this so fast? Even added the missing bombs...

They already got rid of beam rider. I am sure they will get around to using APKWS API for BRM. I am more curious to know how well it is developed and how much damage it will do to tanks since there was riot when BRM was introduced.

+1

We don't really have a choice but to wait. Razbam asked us many time to wait patiently for years and we will be rewarded. Now ED is saying the same. I have more trust in ED's words than Razbam at this point. I just hope Razbam is not using ED to wait out the storm so they can do quick little bug fixes for few weeks and move on to other projects again.

Looking at the state of feature complete harrier now, I will easily skip out on F-15E. It does not look like RAZBAM will have the level of access to do most of its features. Since the jet is in active duty and all that. Plus spending another 3 years to reach this exact point does not sound very entertaining to me. It is sad how they also hold the license for Mig 23. I will laugh if they cost same as F-14 and Hornet. I would like ED to clarify what is the difference between early access and release build? Preferably in a detailed paragraph instead of one sentence.

I honestly didn't expect anything more from RAZBAM. I am more concerned with what ED considers OK to be out of EA. This is good. I will not be so blindly tossing my money their way anymore since EA or Released product does not have any difinitive meaning in DCS. With this new strategy, so many modules can now be pulled out of early access as long as the skeleton of the feature is impletmented to tick the store page checklist.

At least know what you are asking for before asking for it. Change some paramaters based on what exactly?

I believe it will have everything that hornet has. Basically a better hornet. I would not even be surprised if it even has JHMCS.

I certainly hope so. There is too much hype behind this jet and we could use someone with a strong backbone to stand by their calculations when ED come knocking at their door. We know this jet will be on top of pvp game and a certain part of community will be enraged.

Pretty sure every SME is very knowledgeable. That is their whole purpose.

Like most of the jets modelled in DCS. This will be mostly based on guesswork. Even the ones like F16 and F18 are not that near to their real counterparts. If you follow real life fighter pilots who played DCS, you will understand. That being said, this jet will still be the most realistic version we will see in a very long time on any game or simulator if ever. Just because documents are available, it does not mean the DCS engine can represent them with 100% accuracy.

There are obvious reasons why RAZBAM don’t post here anymore.

Neither the jet nor the weapons will be banned in most PVP servers. Maybe two top ones will add carrying limitations but even they allow Phoenix missile when it is not bugged out.
