Beirut Posted May 19, 2023 Posted May 19, 2023 No F-15E. Oh the sweet pain of expectation... 2 Some of the planes, but all of the maps!
twistking Posted May 19, 2023 Posted May 19, 2023 The changelog didn't have anything about (night) lighting of Viper/Hornet. What did change concerning lighting? Has anyone on Open Beta discovered any improvments to aircraft lighting? Maybe (hopefully) light visibility distance finally improved? 3 My improved* wishlist after a decade with DCS *now with 17% more wishes compared to the original

Hotdognz Posted May 26, 2023 Posted May 26, 2023 (edited) Lets hope this weeks news letter doesn't have any of the "Imminent release", or "coming in hot and soon" wording stuff about the F15SE, id rather have some tangible news on what's happing with the core of DCS like ground AI, ED plane models updates, Supercarrier updates and plenty of other stuff they touted through last year and the first 5 months of this year which we have not seen or heard about for a while.

ngreenaway Posted May 26, 2023 Posted May 26, 2023 I'd like to see literally anything but the f15. They've been driving the strike eagle hype train pretty relentlessly, there's a lot of other good stuff in the works at the moment. At this point I'd prefer a newsletter that says " well, we got nothing this week" over f15 news..but you can't please everyone, no sense in trying.

Gunfreak Posted May 26, 2023 Posted May 26, 2023 I would love to read that F4U F4 Sinai WW2 Marianas Are all close to relase. And would also like some updates om stuff that seems further out. A Kola map update, or update on the A1 Skyraider etc. Also some news on ground/ship accuracy getting some sort of fix to make it realistic.

Dannyvandelft Posted May 26, 2023 Posted May 26, 2023 That's actually not a bad idea. A biannual update on projects. Every 6 months a special news letter going over each project. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
