Sorry guys..... I'm currently busy working on Tornado.

Dont worry, the work has the work.... waiting progress

I cant wait to get my hands on this aircraft!! But, I am happy to hear the Tornado is coming along still as well! Both aircraft will compliment DCS Cold War Era perfectly and both are Day-1 Purchases/Downloads from me lol.

I really hope we can soon admire the Su-22 over the cliffs of the Kola peninsula. A fine and wonderful job, thank you for your efforts.

When pasting here, paste as plain text. Even images, and you won't get the "null" text. (A while back this was by default, but they changed it again ).
Cheers!

Better than DCS default (!) but this is not mod-module of the @SVKSniper .

I agree. Let's wait, hope and believe.

Hello everyone.

To start, I want to let everyone know that this update will be about what I am currently working on and that it does not include any new renders, but rather information about the project. I know that many of you are eagerly awaiting updates and asking what’s new. To clarify, my time is not dedicated solely to DCS—I have a job, family, and friends, and I also spend time with them. So, please don’t expect me to release updates regularly.

As you all know, my current priority in my free time is working on the Tornado project for Aviastorm, which takes up most of my time. However, this doesn’t mean that I don’t occasionally work on my Su-22M4 project as well. Of course, I have some new things in progress, and I constantly try to push the project forward whenever time allows. A significant amount of time is spent studying manuals and guides for this aircraft, as well as engaging in discussions with my contacts who assist me with the project. These contacts include former pilots of the Czechoslovak Air Force who flew this aircraft and ground personnel who maintained it. Their insights are invaluable to the project.

As many of you know, the project is currently on hold in part because I need to find someone who can help with the flight model and new textures for the aircraft. The textures you’ve seen so far no longer meet DCS standards, and I want to create a mod—or, if possible, a full module—at the quality level required for such projects.

I can share a few details that I may not have mentioned before. When developing a module, it's not just about being able to click a switch in the cockpit—it has to make sense in terms of functionality and simulation. It’s not just about the switch being "ON" or "OFF," but also about properly replicating the system behind it. Many of you have asked why I don’t just use the avionics from the Su-25T since they are similar. In reality, however, my goal is not to reuse existing systems but to bring the aircraft to DCS as close to its real-life counterpart as possible.

For example, before a flight, a navigation data card with coordinates for waypoints (up to six) and four airfields was inserted into the aircraft’s navigation system. This is one of the features I’d like to implement in the mission editor so that each pilot can program their own flight route.

So, as you can see, I have a lot on my plate. Even though you don’t always see the progress, it involves more than just development—it includes studying how these systems functioned, holding discussions, compiling information, and organizing everything into notes for whoever will be working on coding the aircraft’s systems.

If you’re curious, one of the most recent things I’ve been gathering detailed information on is the LO-86E system, which is used to control the warheads of Kh-58U and Kh-25MP missiles before they are launched from the aircraft. At the moment, I’m just waiting for photos and additional visual documentation from pilots to confirm how the system was used in the cockpit.

---

In conclusion, as you can see, there is a lot that I have to and want to create for you, and it’s not an easy process. However, I believe that in the end, you will be satisfied, and most importantly, I am actively working on the project. As you know, there aren’t many aircraft like this in DCS, and in my opinion, that’s a shame because even these older aircraft can provide an experience that many of you have never seen before. They offer a glimpse into how aircraft operated on the other side of the world during the Cold War, an era that is now almost entirely historical.

I am truly grateful that so many of you remain interested and are patiently waiting to see what can be created for you. Your enthusiasm is a huge source of inspiration for me to ensure this project is successful.

Once again, a huge thank you to all of you!
