Sadly another newletter passes and another week without news.   
 

I know ED will be doing there best to get this wonderful aircraft to us, but god I just wish we could get one sliver of news or info about the progress. 
 

Must admit I was hoping pre order would be live this month.

What if they are doing a insta-release like normal instead of this pre-purchase thing?

 

Just have patience. It wouldn't be the first time that they delay something.

Well, unfortunately that is the common way ED works: they tease something new (show it in the DD, create new banner for the forum etc..), everyone start to think the release is just around the corner and then months of complete silence...

I would love to see Wags posting some video of him flying the Mosquito, similar to what he did with the F-18.

Keep it simple, start-take-off-flying around-land.

Hell even maybe if possible he could be flying with Mosquito in new Marianas map 🤪

He usually does as part of a release campaign of modules. I expect it shortly as I see the Mossie in the Web Page banner which also usually just precedes the video.

With exceptions of warbirds. He never did it with the A8 and P47.

 

And that banner has been there for quite a while now.

Yup, I first noticed it on 24th December last year...

Have you guy's noticed the new forum header? 😄

 

Does this mean that the Mosquito will be ED's next release or am I reading too much into this? lol. 

 

 

Looks like I did read too much into it!. I think we may have a while to wait yet.

They will not release the mossie before 2.7 version. Probably not at the same time as well - that doesn’t sound wise. My bet is on a release shortly after the v2.7 dust settles.

... well, he could have said it!

Nice video. The cockpit looks tiny, the props seem very close. The rudder trim gauge is prominent and enormous...

 

Love the way the pilot has to change hands on the stick to raise the gear. Awesome 1940s ergonomics 🤣Although I suppose the navigator could flip the switch if he could reach.

Very little trim dialled in though...

 

also seemed gentle on the throttles for the first inch or so, and the more rapid progression.

I did notice that, but then I suppose he’s not trying to get off the ground with 4000lbs of bombs and enough gas for Berlin and back.

Test pilot Keith Skilling explains the throttle operation on take off in this video starting 2:45 (I don’t know how to link YT at a specific time stamp).

 

There were two approaches to handling the torque on take off - one is to use asymmetric power to the engines (lead with one throttle forward to the other). The other is to start rolling with lower power until the rudder starts to take effect and then go to full.

 

He also says they only go to +13 boost and not to +18 probably in order not to stress the precious engines too much.

Wags is only concerned with the modern jets. He doesn't do WWII.

Exceptional engineering...and a large hammer to make it fit!

There's actually also videos for the K4 and P51. But I don't think they were pre-release showcases like it is the case with most videos nowadays.

All I know officially is what's been said in the first newspost from this year: 

Quote

 

DCS: Mosquito FB MK.VI

Our first new product of 2021 will be the impressive Mosquito. This will be our first multi-engine, multi-crew World War II aircraft for DCS World, and it will mark an important capability for future projects. The Mosquito is planned to be released into early access by the end of the 1st quarter of 2021.

 

And

 

Quote

The wait is almost over, and the new clouds for DCS World will be introduced in the 1st quarter of 2021. In addition to being visually stunning, the new clouds will block visual and optical sensor line of sight and be synchronized online. We will initially release the new cloud system with an array of weather presets that will cater to most mission building scenarios. Later in the year, we will update the Weather Tool in the Mission Editor that will allow finer control of the clouds with a dynamic weather system based on a more advanced meteorological engine.

 

So until someone from ED gives me an update on the release dates this is what I'm holding them up to.

Maybe but I would be surprised if they are.   The pre purchase thing has worked for years for them.   Ref patience.  Hell I’m a star citizen backer, and have an abundance of patience. 😂😂😂

 

best things come to those who wait, and this will be the best WW2 module yet.
