As an option sure. But hands off my zoom function! And my Geritol.

At my age zoom is juuuuust fine, thank you.

I still want some positive vibes first.

It will be called the "To keep the children quiet sale". If something is due, and then delayed, there will be a sale. Everyone knows there are no new releases during sales, so everyone reflexively takes a breath and turns their dials to "calm" for two-weeks.

The "others" just feel mushy to me. DCS feels tight and right. A little? Perhaps a crapton and a half?

Norton. I know a lot of people hate it, but it's worked well for me for years.

Steam is easy if you want one stop shopping for all your game purchases and care thereof. I can't remember why I started out with DCS on Steam but I did, and it works, and I'm still on it. Also, you can try a product before it's out on free trial, and if you use it for less than two-hours and decide you don't like it, you can get a refund. I've done that three-times over the years I think, and ended up re-buying the modules later on and keeping them. I also like to load up my Steam wallet when work is solid. So no credit card action for modules in the down season, everything is pre-paid.

You're a gent! I have enough in my Steam wallet for three modules. I'm ready to buy. I'm eager to buy. But someone has to send some positive vibes. Where is the love?

I love my DCS, but my wallet is closed until there is clarity.

Exactly. This is a flightsim first and foremost, I'd say 50% of my flight time is just for the fun of flying. No "Kaboom!" And the Chinook is going to be a blast to fly. As far as Huey books go, "Chickenhawk".

Yeah, but it's going to be a riot to fly.

I completely understand your love for steam gauges. But for me, born before Neil took one small step, I want all the fancy tech toys I can get my hands on. It's 2024 and I want my space ship.

Oh, and I love the music in the trailer. Brought a smile to my face right away.

I certainly hope so. I am optimistic and enthusiastic. I am looking forward to whoopin' around in the Chinook for the sheer fun of flying. It's gonna be great. But someone somewhere has got to throw me some good news first. They have their price, I have mine.

I am super enthusiastic about the CH-47. Easy Top 3 of any of the upcoming modules. But I need some feel-good from the powers that be first.

Sweet! I am seriously hot and bothered for this chopper. But I share Rudel's concerns, and will wait.

I hope it's coming soon. Been nothing new since June of 2023. Longest dry spell I've seen with DCS. I hope Kola or the Phantom coming out doesn't push the other back by months just for the sake of separating product releases.

Just hope ORBX doesn't get into the "coming soon" thing where it means sometime between two-weeks and when your grandchildren retire.

On one hand they have no experience with DCS, but on the other hand they've been making terrain for a long time and in great quantity. I'm feeling positive about it.

I'm hyped. Bring it!

He showed three-years of charts, all too small to see properly. Brilliant.

Now THAT is an update! May need a new SSD.

I'm on Steam and my pilot needs an exorcism. His head is a' shaking. Doesn't bother me, but I guess a bug is a bug.

Makes me think of my pre-DCS days, flying another sim but taking a look at the DCS forums from time to time, and seeing change logs 100 lines long with things like: Fixed - AIM-7 sub vector paint micrometer bearings Fixed - AIM-7 partial fin delayed reaction cooling Fixed - AIM 7 weekly gyro update crew tangent above Mach 1 ...and I'm thinking WTF! is all this? Now it all makes sense.

Fixed the flashlight in the Yak-52. I'll take that as a win.
