Will this new radar model become some kind of API to be used by other developers and modules across DCS? Or it will be exclusive for F-16 and F/A-18 radar modeling?

Thanks for your work!

I'd like this new framework to gradually translate to existing modules, even FC3. I understand that is not feasible without somekind of financial support, so maybe from 2025 onwards when FC3 models will be in desperate need of a cockpit retexturing/remodelling ED will take every update done through the years, like the updated radar framework and pack it in a budget friendly FC4 product.

Just buy a module or terrain once in a while - that way you can support them, and have some fun. For example, even though I rarely use many of them, I own all the terrains. Just because I like supporting companies that provide me with good entertainment.

Yeah, a unified baseline radar API would be really nice. If it does all the basics well, is nicely implemented and configurable for specific features, that could help other modules a lot imo. Radars are just so complicated, even getting the basic right seems to be a big challenge for the developers.

Honestly, I wish Heatblur or Razbam would license their Radar APIs to other devs or DCS in general, those two seem to have the best radar models. I know at least HB is developing general radar-framework with the F-4E, which is gonna be transfered to F-14 and Viggen in the long run.
