Yes, I would like both. I want the Super Hornet for personal reasons though. I don't care if it's block 1 either. Yes. The fact that the Kiowa is coming out and would complement it completely slipped my mind. Good thinking.

I've been on servers were the server has disabled the ability to change a skin, so don't we already have a solution to this problem?

Gulag. Now. :lol:

Knots or km/h? 220 knots comes out to 414 km/h which seems a little too high compared to the speeds I've landed at in the DCS Mig-21 over the years, but there might be some other variable I'm missing.

Your number 5 bullet point was mentioned in the past by Heatblur. I don't know what the gameplan is for now but they had said they planned to make an Iranian version that had no TCS or IRST, that I distinctly remember. It should be searchable on this forum unless it's been deleted or edited.

Do you have a link to the post that says it's fixed wing? Tornado would be awesome as well, forgot to include that in my earlier post. :pilotfly:

Where did you see they are pushing the release date back more? I can't find anything on it.

Apache or F-111 are what I personally think it might be. Either of them are very welcome in the sim as far as I'm concerned and day 1 purchases. Superhornet and F-15C would be nice but I don't think they match the hints. I mean I also hope it could be a Russian fixed wing aircraft but what can I say that hasn't been said before on that topic.

So.... Apache or Russian/Chinese aircraft? I'd say F-111, Tornado, and transports/bombers are still a contender. Challenge to fly doesn't necessarily mean it's because it's hard to fly.. it could be involved to work systems while flying. Maybe the F-117 is a challenge to fly in some way, who knows? ED is already developing multi crew for modules so that doesn't dismiss multi crew aircraft.

Will do.

A map with Florida and Cuba could make for some great war-gaming and scenery to fly over.

Wrong thread for that sentiment.

I understand but Eagle Dynamics said the aircraft was mentioned in this thread, so I can't rule anything out yet.

After seeing the X-Plane release of the Just Flight Avro Vulcan (which I'm going to buy), I thought to myself "Why not one for DCS?" It's analogue, no fancy systems.... why not?

Well I certainly hope that's not the case, because it's really messed up to tease us like that and then make us wait potentially a year or even more.

I know I'm going to get crap for this but... why is this a cold war server but it lacks certain cold war planes during certain missions that take place during a certain time period? If you're doing a 1980's mission, can't you restrict the F-14 and F/A-18 to sparrow missiles? AV8B Night Attack was introduced in 1989 as well, still a Cold War plane if you do missions between 1989 and 1991.

Can New Zealand be added as a playable country?

Where does this idea we don't have Vietnam era planes come from? We have the F-5E which was used by the South Vietnamese air force starting in 1972 and as a matter of fact, probably is the exact same sub model used by the South Vietnamese since some surviving examples that managed to escape were reintegrated into the US Navy as aggressor aircraft. We have the Mig-21bis, which while not the exact same version as the Mig-21MF used by the NVA, looks similar on the outside and the cockpit is very similar as well. We have the UH-1H, also used in Vietnam. We have the Mi-8, also used in Vietnam. We know the F-4E, F-8J, A-7E and Mig-19S are coming. We have the F-14A coming soon, even though it saw limited service in the war. You act like there's nothing at all. I know all of the aircraft wont be the exact same sub models with the exact same equipment used during the war, but we will have at least 3 that will be. Those should be the F-5E, F-8J and Mig-19S. Don't get it twisted, I would like there to be the exact same versions with the same equipment for every aircraft used in the war, but I don't think that's a realistic expectation considering most peoples experience with DCS so far.

And how do you propose the staff of what did they say it was, 125 people or so get paid while there's no money coming in from modules and/or maps?

I don't understand the silence and I don't understand why this wasn't in the patch notes either? I literally just found this out by randomly browsing the forum. I haven't tried the new flight model but I'm pretty disturbed by what I just read. I'd like to point out I've had the MiG-21 for 5 years now, why did the flight model need to change in the first place? Aren't we well passed release version?

Eagle Dynamics give us more hints. Give us a sign! Us humble customers, we bow our heads and await your bountiful gifts! Will you give us the whirlwind of the Apache? The thunderous flames of the glorious F-111 in all its wicked beauty? The fanciness and range of the Super Hornet? The scream of the F-15C Eagle? Will you blind us with the magnificence of the F-117 or F-22? The Soviet might of the Su-27/MiG-29? I can only take so much, I must know! :helpsmilie:
