It shares 90% of its code with the DCS F4. 16 hours ago, Hammer1-1 said: How about making the A-6 for MSFS and THEN porting it over to DCS? You already know most of us are going to buy the thing in both stores, why not work up and not down? We have done that starting with the F4. Our modules are developed cross-platform. So there is no porting in that sense. 80% of the code works on both platforms and then you "just" have to add the remaining platform-specific code on top to wrap it up. Edited June 22 by Zabuzard 3

I’m not a MSFS player (XP 4 Lyfe) but this is still cool. More markets is always good. 1

The team is working on DCS EF and DCS A6. But as explained that at the same time means doing progress for any other platform as its the very same code. Whether the remaining MSFS 20% will be coded for these aircraft hasnt been confirmed yet. But is ofc generally a reasonable assumption - provided everything goes well with the MSFS F4 business-wise, I guess. Edited June 24 by Zabuzard 2
GUCCI Posted Wednesday at 02:01 PM Posted Wednesday at 02:01 PM Thank you as always for the great information Zabu, we all appreciate you greatly! Looking forward to seeing the beautiful iron tadpole in DCS, even as AI form for now. Hoping the new codebase will ease development time and effort too, to see the flyable module sooner rather than later. but as usual, time and quality is #1 and you guys take the time you need to deliver an amazing module (the F4E was worth the wait and all the small delays) Thank you 1
