I'm having the same problem. Hot start on the CV, request landing, atc answered, LSO talked to me behind the boat...hook is down. But, I have done pass after pass in the last hour (many of them quite respectable) and can't catch a single wire. Bolter, bolter, and bolter again. The odds seem against missing the wires that many times in a row.

Nothing at all from Heatblur in this patch?

I notice that there is nothing from HB listed in today's changlog. I hope maybe that just means that HB didn't get their list of changes to ED in time (as often happens). If you can't give us anything else, at least keep some nice new liveries on hand to give us during an "empty" month.

The new ROK skin for the CH-47F looks great...however, the skin's name is "Republic of Korea Army (JGSDF)" Koreans will be very surprised and unhappy to know that they are part of the Japanese Ground Self Defense Force

I was also really looking forward those, I expected they would be in this month's patch

Good, maybe they just didn't get the changelog in (as happens more often than not)

Same problem, in north eastern East Germany looking north in the direction of the sea. 30-40FPS drop, but if I turn my head in another direction its back to normal FPS.

The release candidate is already in testing for launch, it isn't going to be a long wait. "Later in 2025" is just a non specific date they are giving for now. I feel like the cold war map will release this month, probably in the next couple of weeks. I think ED wants to get this map out first as it will build hype for the FF Mig-29A which I believe was scheduled for quarter two of 2025.

This is a 1980s map. The vast vast majority of units we have in DCS fit this map in this time period.

No updates in today's (3/20) patch? Didn't see anything from Heatblur in the patch notes.

I bought the Mig-29 years ago and only flew it a few times (I bought it individually, not as part of flaming cliffs). Today I felt like setting it up and trying it out again, so I put down a Mig-29A and a Mig-29S in my mission (all the Mig-29s are in yellow on my list indicating that I own them), set them to client, and loaded the mission. However when I try to choose them from the "choose slot" screen and then press "fly"...nothing, it just stays in an external view of an AI aircraft that is in the air. Neither Mig-29 will load. I went into my DLC list on steam and uninstalled and reinstalled the Mig-29, but I got the same thing. I definitely own the plane, but can't seem to get into the cockpit.

HB never answered this? I guess there were just no updates for any HB modules in the patch..

I really want to see this in the game...seems like we have been waiting for the AI A6E for years (because we have)

My group and I are big fans of the Kola map! I've been waiting for Bardufoss, great news!

I'd like more info on how this will work in MP. If the option to enable/disable the new deck crew is only in the special options menu, then what happens when some players using the carrier have if enabled and some have it disabled? I would like there to be a checkbox when I place the carrier in the mission editor, just like there is for enabling the airboss station. That way I could just put in two carriers; one with the new deck crew (for those who want the realism), and one without (for those who don't want the hassle and want to park wherever they want and use whichever cat they want). I think for MP having it as an option that can be turned on or off on each individual carrier would be a good way to do it.
