Re : Letter from ED

Thanks Wags, 27years wow never thought it was that long! While I did have Flanker it was not one I played with much, I really have to wait until the Flight Sim show at the Hilton in Birmingham in 2003 when I got handed the demo of LOMAC and met some of the dev team that built made it, also was my first experience with VR at the show. It really has come on a long way since then, while it is frustrating waiting and waiting I know it takes time, a little info now and then helps.

Looking forward to the Coming of Weeks :D

Thank you Matt for your letter. I am also a happy customer since Flanker 1.0. I loved the dogfights with the flanker as well as the A/G missions. Flanker 2.0 was a great step forwards and Lock On was a also a great highlight. I was very disappointed like many others when you postponed the hornet by the end of 2016 but I know it‘s the waiting time worth and we will get a hornet in a top quality. I am looking forward to DCS 2.5, the hornet, the carriers and many others products. I hope there will be an update about the carriers soon. Thank you ED for your effort, always going forward and always following your dream. I spent many, many hours with the Flanker and DCS world and I also will spend many hours in the future with DCS. Thank you guys for everything!

Something that slightly concerns me is the bit about having to rewrite all the missions and campaigns to work in 2.5

 

Does this mean that all the missions we have for 1.5 are going to be useless unless upgraded? That would be a real shame. In fact, it would be enough to make me put off updating for some time - though I suppose I could keep 1.5 either on the same pooter if it will be possible, or put it on my 2nd PC if not.

AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS

 

Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.

Thank you all ED, you don't make a game or a simulator, you make a hobby! Why is that? Because its expensive as hell! All jokes aside, worth every penny by the way and keep doing what you do, we love you!

My reaction of course to the 2.5 ...

My days with ED began back in the Lock on era. Although my true passion is with the modern

combat aircraft I have enjoyed the WWII content almost as much. Knowing that my purchases

of the WWII go into sustaining and supporting the modern aircraft I will continue to purchase

modules and maps for that era as well.

 

Thanks for the insight Matt and a fist bump to the entire ED staff and 3rd party players for a great

product and continued success to you all! :thumbup:

ED and 3rd parties are working hard to ensure official content is ready to fly at release.

 

As for user missions...yeah, anything that involves targets in the ground is likely going to need some attention. Many areas that were previously empty fields are now heavily forested.

I been playing since I was in grade school. (I think I was in grade 4, I'm now 33). SU-27 flanker was on the library computer. I was blown away by it, even though I had no clue what I was doing. (I still don't lol!)

 

I thank you and your team for all the hard work and the many years of enjoyment you guys have provided me.

 

I am looking forward to many more decades with this great sim.

Thanks Wags,

Happy to say I've loved this sim since LOMAC and I'm never leaving.

Anyone >>> API means software code? Sorry, no habla.
