now that phantom is announced , next will be the typhoon?

[dave76]

do you think typhoon will be out by end of the year now that the f4e is almost ready ?

[BigBorner]

I`d rather have them take all the time they need.

3 to 4 "Falcon" weeks!

After seeing the quality of the F4 in the screenshots released this weekend, I am so incredibly excited for the Typhoon. My dream module ..

Maybe it will be available in time for the traditional Christmas shopping season.

that's what i  really hope too

[Zahnatom]

"next"? definitely.

"immediately"? probably not.

tbh though i'd pay for an EA version that essentially has as many functions as the f-15C

i'd be happy with that but its unfortunately not going to happen

Not by far.
I'd rather have the Intruder.

No, but maybe thing may speed up a bit.

Hopefully.

i wouldn't expect any updates on the Eurofighter until 2024, when the phantom comes out there will be more hands on deck working on the Eurofighter, we might even see it in 2024 and beyond (hopefully), from what I have seen they have been hard at work with it however the phantom was given priority.

personally id rather get an early version that might not have exterior textures or weapons just to fly it around in singleplayer but i know that a lot of people dont want that and its also not how heatblur do things, they are one of the only trustable partners to release actually next to complete modules along with deka and razbam and in my opinion they are the best of the 3. They have stated that they want to release and A2A focused german eurofighter first and then they will make a eurofighter which will be a frankenstein of all the eurofighters in service (which basically just means british cause they got pretty much everything on theirs). Summer of 2024 is still very optimistic with the things they have to do. Most of the things the eurofighter can carry arent in the game (A2A it has 4  missiles and only 1 is in the game. It has 9 a2g weapons and only 2 or 3 are in the game. it also has 5 targeting pods with only the litening 3 being modeled and the sniper pod being developed by razbam) and it has a lot of features also new to the game. For example its the first plane in the game that is entirely self-trimming, i think its the first one to have a PESA radar (with later versions getting an AESA but that would be too broken to put into the game rn) as well as an irst camera of this level. It also has 2 detachable towable decoys which arent in the game yet (but might be in development for the f16) and a very complex and good autopilot. If they decide to add it it also has a VCS which allows the pilot to talk to the plane and have it do certain things. Irl it didnt really work that well tho so if its garbage in-game it would be historically accurate. They have A LOT of things that are brand new to the game that need modeling and will take a VERY long time. summer of 2024 at best

To be honest, I think development is more or less paused until the F4 is released. I fear that the EF is still rather in the early stages of development and that we will have to wait a very long time for it.

Depends on which year you are referring to

I think we´d be happy if the F4 is ready until the end of this year. If we are really lucky, there might be nice screenshots of the Typhoon by the end of the year, but I wouldn´t expect anything more than that.

Imo better to save yourself the disappointment. The Eurofighter might be 2 years away for all we know. Its an incredibly complicated aircraft, probably the most complicated ever done in DCS. That plane requires ED to make some changes to the codebase, likely.

And while I assume the F-4 comes this year, it might face unexpected delays too.

Like many fellows have put out already, no way we are seeing the Eurofighter end of 2023. The Dcs community would completely be taken by the biggest surprise in it's history if Heatblur and Truegrit release any kind of Eurofighter end of 2023 with what they have in their hands presently.
I would like to experience that kind of shock though but highly in doubt.

I’m thinking by Christmas 2025. Hoping so anyway as plan to keep my current pc setup until then and upgrade in 2025 in order to fly the Eurofighter to the fullest!

At this point, it's probably more realistic to expect the Phantom by the end of the year.

And the phantom will likely not be finished for at least a couple of years. The phantom hitting early access doesn't free up developers.

Well, the graphics and sound developers won't have much left to do, probably some FM developers will be available as well. The avionics specialists I don't know about, depends on the feature list. And I do believe now they're in testing phase until the release, and all development work is currently on hold anyway so as not to introduce new bugs.

actually i was referring to 2024 ;)........hopefully

Nick Grey's comments certainly don't inspire any confidence in a 2024 release. Around 25 mins into the video...

It was always likely that in the run-up to the phantom that phoon development was going to slow down. And given heat blurs unconventional but much-appreciated practice of downloading new technologies to previous modules takes devs away from making new modules it may be a while. all good things are worth waiting for.

also probably worth noting that after the Tomcats' stellar release into msfs heatblur will be interested in bringing the phabulous Phantom over to msfs and maybe even the Viggen. so whist imo the Typhoon is where the real money is at I can see why HB would want to put it on the back burner

"...It is a project which will happen definitely...eventually..."  Certainly doesn't inspire confidence in a 2025 release either if you ask me.
