@Dingo (ZX-D) yes, it will work great

Why this thread is alive again and some people are repeating the same story over and over again? Yes, it was advertised as BLK50 from a specific era but this specific loadout option was changed due to PLAYERS REQUEST. Some players can fly with 4 HARMS while others can still use BLK50 from a specific era with 2 HARMS. Why is it so painful for some people? Just dont use that option and enjoy your game rather than trying to ruin game for others.

This is best option possible! Thank you and ED so much! :)

This module is somewhere in space. Abandoned, travels the vastness of the universe.

Actually he is very optimistic, just see how much they did for f16 this year

"later that month ( April)" means at least half a year later

Thanks @Fri13! I have found that podcast and it looks like this is really a plan, at least it was in 2018 :D Awesome Well, thats already resolved by MS team, you dont have to download all data, they are available online all the time. Or you can download only interesting part etc., for sure they will figure this out @zhukov032186 @Minsky you guys should inform Wag that they have pointless ideas :)

Do you assume that DCS will be dead soon? If not then you know that some "engine reworks" or even new engines are planned anyway (or at least considered) in very long-term future. Of course this is not something for the next month, thats why I have said "ultra long-term" which means years ahead and that can include heavy engine changes. And by the way: "We could start multiplayer servers in any part of the world" by this I mean server admin can choose which part of the world will be loaded at the server, even with the current size but you can choose whatever region you want. There are many providers of satellite data or other resources and developers could easily use them If really want, thats why all of this is not impossible - because you dont have to reinvent a wheel (of course not for free) Really not sure why discussion about long-term changes is pointless in your opinion.

@zhukov032186 I cant agree, in my opinion lets cay our Caucasus map is ugly and it lacks details but everyone can judge differently and it doesn't matter. I know that most of this vids are trailers and ads but there are also some pre-alpha gameplays available, anyway even if it will looks a little worse at release stage, even then it will be awesome comparing to DCS classic maps. In these times we have satellite maps, 3D cities scans etc and they are very good quality, its not like ED have to start own rocket with satellite to take some photos. :) Microsoft shows its possible and it doesnt look like rocket science. Budget is probably very important thing as you said but that is something to judge by developers. Really not undestand what is naive here. My post is not about technology from another galaxy, it works in another sim, they are not aliens. Maybe it is harder to do but we are in 2020, games are going to be more complex and complex

Totally you didnt understand my message. My post is about way how devs are making maps, you can place each tree manually or use a little tools, AI, satellite maps and other things beyond my knowledge. Check the attached videos, this world is full of details, much more than our maps, just look at the New York in the trailer.. :) Exactly, I will edit first post because this triggered some people

What about making a real World map in DCS: World? :) We could start multiplayer servers in any part of the world, start from any airport we want, fight in any country we want. Ah, dreamy.. :D Of course its an ultra long-term plan/idea but its not something absolutely impossible, lets just look at microsoft flight simulator, they are trying to do it and it looks awesome. Maybe it is worth to investigate and work on tools how to generate maps instead of making manually another small map?

Hope it will not work this way. Current approach is the best, you have stable version and beta just if you want to test it

Same here but unfortunately this is what ED is forcing eh, recent updates didnt introduced INS, they just provided great changes like need of coord confirmation.. Anyway changelogs are full of great things like: For sure so many prerequisites for smart weapons :)

4-8 months from now. Priorities for ED are clear: at the first stage do most boring things like INS alignment and weapons at the end Switch to F18

Exactly, if you dont want trim reset just dont use them

oh :( Thanks, so there is no smoke pod for f16..?

anyone know how to use tcts smoke pod?

Any news about steam update? :(

June/july

Interesting thread, looks like F18 is the best from your posts but I have both F18 and F16 and from my experience F16 is much better :D

Liveries will be ready probably around june

just realistic Well, people probably dont know what is Early Access, its about features with bugs. :) patch notes

Nothing special for f16 anyway, probably some not interesting bug fixes and still we will have to wait half year for the same weapons as f18 have

Are you reading the same topic? No one is crying because DCS is not an easy game and no one want to change the core game, wtf? This guy just asked if it is possible to edit config files to enable the hook and thats all, on his own computer, not a request to ED. Instead of simple reply he got tons of spam like "buy F/A-18, dont touch files, I dont like this!"

oh god, this is a game. We have simulators to try unusual things, risk and have fun rather than cry for a pilot..
