Hint F-16 vs F-18. As I said, this seems to be a pretty high priority project for ED right now. I don't think they are going to pull people off for other modules. I think they realize this could easily become their fastest selling module. There is a ton of pent up demand for an Apache. 2 System: Intel Core i9-9900KF @ 5 Ghz, Z-390 Gaming X, 64Gb DDR4-3200, EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 FTW3, Dedicated SSD, HP Reverb G2, Winwing Orion & F-16EX DCS Modules: A-10C II, A/V-8B NA, Bf-109 K4, P-51D, P-47D, F/A-18C, F-14 A/B, F-16 CM, F-86F, JF-17, KA-50 Black Shark 2, UH-1H, Mosquito, AH-64D Longbow Terrains & Tech: Caucasus, Persian Gulf, Normandy, Syria, Nevada, The Channel, Combined Arms, WWII Assets, Supercarrier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brass2-1 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I suspect the digital skies will initially be filled with yahoos like myself trying to figure out stirring the soup and hovering...but I do think there are a lot of rotary wing fans that will both be born and come out of the woodwork. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ED Team Raptor9 Posted October 14, 2021 ED Team Share Posted October 14, 2021 My view on the topic of anything that gets delayed, pushed back, or timelines revised: there are so many other modules, maps and campaigns to play in DCS as whole. There is plenty of stuff to keep me occupied. The backlog of DLC campaigns that I still need to complete is ridiculous. As an example, one night I just felt like cruising around the NTTR map to see which airports were easiest to land at in an F-16 and which ones weren't. I took off from Nellis, flew up to Mesquite, worked my way counter-clockwise to Tonopah airport (the civilian one cuz I've landed thousands of times at Tonopah test airfield and Creech), then eventually south along the western edge of the range, checking out all the little towns out in the desert. Beatty, Pahrump, all way down to the southern tip of Nevada and hitting up all the little airports south of Vegas. I took off around 1600 local time in the mission and by the time I got all the down to Laughlin, it was dark out. Plenty of places to just check out on all these maps just flying around, let alone all the missions and campaigns there are to do. 2 Afterburners are for wussies...hang around the battlefield and dodge tracers like a man.

I spent a solid two hours last night in the back seat of the T-45 practicing basic instrument flying, level turns and aerobatics all over southern Nevada. DCS is a sandbox-there’s truly plenty to keep us busy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MADLOU1 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 OK you DCS geniuses, what is your best guess as to when the Early Release version of this much anticipated module is going to be released? Do you think the Steam announcement that December 1 is accurate? And ED I know that your official stance is that it will probably be released sometime at the end of this year. I just want to hear from the very smart people on this forum as to what they think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalcoGer Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Speculation isn't useful or helping. The steam release date is a guestimate because steam requires a release date if you want to sell stuff for preorders. It might be this month, or the next or maybe spring next year. Either way, no amount of speculation will help. We might be getting a release date from official sources. Wags is doing videos now. It doesn't seem the AI is done yet. The apache has lots of burried pages and systems in it's digitalized cockpit. Just because the TSD works well enough to show a moving map (I spotted a few missing elements then, too) doesn't mean everything is done yet and only needs polishing. I am hoping for end of november or early december. I wish it was now. I expect it next year. Then again this doesn't help anyone. What I'd prefer more is more updates on the progress, what is missing and how many people are working on what. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
