Hi guys

I am using Steam for DCS. Are the F15E patches from Razbam included in the Steam patches, or do I have to get them from somewhere else ?

All patches happen together when we ( Eagle Dynamics ) updates. You will need to be patient as we are currently testing 2.9 internally, and the whole of DCS needs to be checked before a release. 

Thank you
