Nobody said anything about dates. We do not expect ED to tell us when they are going to release features and modules. But it would be appriciated to see something like "we are working on this, had issues with that so it will take some time to fix it, that thing is on pause now blah blah blah". That would be enough

Same here, still miss the 2025 roadmap, or at least news about Vulkan and DC

Да, получилось. Проблема была в политике. Я из Украины, друг из РФ. С чьей-то стороны (или с обеих) был заблокирован доступ. VPN нас спас не, IP белый, статик, ради него приходилось с провайдером договариваться

We're using Steam version

Free 25A is just like the announce of 35A in 2025 and Beyond. On the one hand it's cool, but on the other - I'm pretty dissapointed. It's okay to have another free AC but in my opinion 25A is the worst choice. We already have 25T with better functionality compared to 25A. Let's just imagine being in new players shoes. You watched "2025 and Beyond" or any other DCS trailers. You want to fly those aircraft and be that cool. You see it's free and start downloading. You start a game and what do you see? FF TF-51, that's okay but it's WWII plane, you want a modern one, maybe you won't even try it. There is relatively modern 25A. Now tell me, does it represent the quality of other modules? No, it does not. Does it represent the functionality of other modules? No, it does not. No full fidelity, no interactive cockpit no PFM. It will make you think that DCS is just some kind of War Thunder but in different genre. Or it can be my situation. I have a friend, who I want to bring into DCS. I'm not sure if he would like DCS. On the one hand FC modules are not enough to undrestand if you like the game and it worth buying FF modules that aren't cheap. On the other hand I just realized how hard it is to teach someone who has never been into fly sims. So, in my opinion, it would be much better to make 39 or 101 as free modules. Both are FF, so new player can understand what DCS is all about, both are trainer AC, so they are easy to learn and to fly, and both can be used to teach people better P.S. FF 25A is better than FF 35A, for community at least. Change my mind

I thought you will publish more detailed newsletter about current progress and plans for 2025, just like you did before

how they can show it in video? Tomorrow there will be (should be, at least) a huge newsletter with some explanations and plans for the future, hope to see release windows for 130, DC, Vulkan, 4C and Typhoon honestly, that was one of the main things in "20XX and beyond". Passion and Support always made me feel proud

can you provide a text plese? (in russian if possible)

not because of documentation, but because it's some kind of illegal

AI, I guess

Pretty disappointed in 35, it's 5th gen, I doubt they can make it really realistic. 15C is okay, not fan of it, but glad for guys who like it. But can anybody tell me, WHERE IS MY PASSION AND SUPPORT? Does Nick not respect me anymore?

16th of January you say, well... At least devs could tell us it will be released later so we won't hang here for no reason

Nobody is going to discredit them. We're just talking about one of DCS large problems - some modules just exist on their own, with no proppers assets around them. At this moment, I'm talking about about Mig-15, Sabre and I-16. I own both Mig and Sabre, but last time I flew them was, like seven or eight years ago. Those are good modules, but there will never be any immersive to fly above Caucasus or Persian Gulf an imagine it's Korea, shooting B-17s and imagine it's B-29s. At leas they can fight each other, I-16 is all alone though. Same problem we have with NTTR, there are few Red Flag campaigns and that's all. There is nothing else you can do on that map.

If we had some more options and civilian aircrafts it would be a great map Lol, wish, my country's map (that will 100% come someday) was as "boring" as Australia as @Gunfreak just said, if those 50 assets are correct it will make it great. If they are propper ground units for Vietnam war era, for example, the upcoming map's (we're gonna get Vietnam someday) gonna feel different, but if it's just 10 variants of M1 and 40 variants of T-72, there will be no difference. Yeah and most campaigns on NTTR map are all about Red Flag, training etc. Of course, maybe @Oesau would like to drop few MK-82s on his nieghbor's house, who owns him money, but most of us are not interested in that map

And I find it one of the biggest problems of DCS, we need more ground units, more AI aircrafts etc, not another sand map or Australia map (with all my respect to guys making Australia map, what are we going to do there? Fight emu?). I know many people will disagree with me, and this is my humble opinion, but even making WW2 planes wasn't a good idea

I'll just remind you, that we have two planes by Belsimtek (that is a part of ED now) with nor propper map no AI units for their period. The only thing they can do is just dogfighting each other on a map that is definately not 1950's Korea. Same thing with a plane by 3rd party that can't even dogfight with any other plane of its period. So having a map with no assets is not that big deal

In my opinion, if this is the Vietnam map, they will anounce it with release date somewhen this fall, but will release it in summer 2026 or even later

Oh, come on. We're DCS community. It's okay for us to speculate I'll just remind that TES VI has been developing on the modified TES V engine that is almost 15 years old

It is definitely a preview of the DC And I doubt there are any palm trees in Germany So it can be just a random pic that does not represent a new map, or a new map that is not in the North The Vietnam map would be just awesome, Balkans as well. I think we need some Africa maps, there were lots of wars last 60 years I would like to see AH-1G, UH-60 (any variant), FF Su-25A, Mi-2, some modern chinese aircrafts, C-130 release date, Su-22M4 release date, new ground AI, infantry on passanger seats etc

Definitely not this year

Воздушный Евро Трак я думаю вполне можно будет скоро реализовать, через триггеры и скрипты. Надо лишь довести систему динамических грузов до логического конца, и всё получится. Ну разве что, кроме погоды, для такого рода миссий надо внешнюю программу, которая будет генерировать саму миссию, а не только события в ней. А что касается режима войны - ну так, вроде такое и планируется в Динамической Кампании

+9999

Hope they won't announce new release date. We've got a really toxic community here. If there will be at least one more delay on this update, the sky is gonna fall.

Lol, I was just about to ask devs if there are any plans to add more assets

У меня вопрос по МиГ-21бис. Вроде как права на него перешли к ED. Возможно ошибаюсь. Но если это так, планируется ли какое-то обновление и/или выпуск новых, более старых модификаций, которые будут весьма актуальный для карты Вьетнама, которая рано или поздно появится?
