I wish they would at least tell us if it's a modern aircraft or warbird. I'm hoping for modern.

unless it's a WWII bomber. That's a game changer.

@dali:That looks like the nose from our F-18.

 

As far as mysteries go, I was wondering what this was - from the Jan 10, 2020 newsletter:

 

[Jester986]

That is the very much announced tail of the Mig-23 being done by Razbam.

[rrohde]

Couldn't figure that one out - thanks Jester986.

Great Video from Wags.

 

 

What a great song (The Cranberries "Zombie") for such a nice video.

But the original song is better - R.I.P Dolores !

WOW.

 

 

You guys at ED make our dreams come true, too!

 

 

What an insight of what will come for us!

[CarbonFox]

Is the OB update for this week still on track?

[Eaglewings]

Is the OB update for this week still on track?

Is there an ob update plan for this week?

My impression is that ED preparing for dcs world 2.5.6.

Perhaps every open beta update planned will be merged with the transition to version 2.5.6.

[rrohde]

ED said "early February", so I don't expect the OB update to hit - along with 2.5.6 - until Feb 14.

[Airhunter]

That is clearly the Hornet, so no.

Just a little FYI, Matt (Wags) did not make the video. :)

And thanks!

 

Oh and also - the "big reveal" is not shown in the video at all. Sorry to spoil the hunt for clues.. :D

Most of us know you're the backbone of these awesome videos GA. Thanks for another great one!:thumbup:

Did anyone see an Apache in the video?? If not there's a clue! :D

Guess everybody who is loitering here in the forums knows right after 3s who made that great piece of art. Thanks GA ;)

There's a lot of aircraft not in the video, and since there's probably more "eagerly awaited aircraft" than there are DCS users, it's not much of a clue.

 

In all honesty, it may turn out to be a total surprise that no one saw coming, much like the Marianas map was...but it'll be interesting to see what kind of speculation gets drummed up over the course of this year

[LASooner]

[kontiuka]

hopefully with better graphics :)

[LASooner]

One would think a little better.

That "mystery plane":music_whistling: in the close-up with the canopy open is called the F/A-18.

[BitMaster]

No word about Vulkan ;(

 

Have I missed something ?
