TWO WEEKS!!

 

 

 

jk!

( probably near the end of EA, so could be a bit of a wait)

Gonnna make this module a whole different beast imagine acquiring all those targets on the radar and sorting them and firing from long range gonna put the laser hellfire out to pasture at least in the sim of course :-))

In two weeks we will be flipping the FCR switch and setting the scan plane in X,Y and Z axis precisely in order to reduce radar noise but increase fast scan resolution on our point of interest..... it will be lovely.

In two weeks it will be ours.

"two weeks!!" is an  old joke in flight sim community... very old, like late 90's early 2000's. There used to be a dev team leader on a forum, and whenever people asked about the arrival of a patch or the release of a new product, he'd invariably say "two weeks"... and thus became a Meme!  The FCR function will probably NOT appear in May of this year... I've no idea what ED's  timeline is like, they are usually wise enough not to tell the public any hard estimates of time!

My real guess is 9 to 12 months, maybe then we'll get radar functionality. But it's a guess based on nothing of real substance.

Edit: one thing to consider though is that after Hind  got released, Wags has mentioned that ED's speed of development has increased a great deal, because instead of an individual working on a component, they now have teams working. So maybe it'll appear quicker than my guess! But probably not in May!

If you consider how speedy they are with Hind updates and fixes, 2-3 years look like more plausible timeline

The DCS Hind was released to EA  18 jun, 2021... that's less than a year ago.  

So I'm a wee bit puzzld by your estimate...
