tbd - in progress per roadmap When can we expect the sniper pod?

[Gunfreak]

Isn't this the last major feature missing from the F-16?

[razo+r]

When can we expect it? Sometime in the god knows how distant future.

As for the feature, yeah, kind off.

Ah forgot about the data cartridge.

And for me the plot body is qutie important but i know its not a big deal for others.

At least we've got an annoying flashing message cluttering the HUD now telling us the pods masked, no matter if it's powered up or not. Nice work ED

I've had over ten years of random things being broken every DCS update. It's a bit like getting up to go to work and finding your car doesn't have any doors or the wheels turned themselves square for no reason.
People wouldn't put up with that from a car, or a toaster or anything other product except software. It's about time ED rolled their sleeves up, gritted their teeth and sorted out their 20 year old code. I pay good money for these modules, and I expect them to work.

Im sorry you are not happy, but at no point have you not been able to use the F-16 which is still in early access and active development. The will always be bugs and tweaks to be made during development, the complexity of what we are doing can not be under estimated. 

I totally understand if you are not suited to the way early access has to be done, or the length of time it takes, without this process we would not be able to bring these modules to you all. We spend thousands of man hours developing the DCS F-16C and will continue to, your support during early access makes this work possible. 

thank you

I have only four years in DCS (Open Beta most of the time) - and of course I experienced issues along the way, but NEVER was I kept from playing and enjoying it for any noteworthy length of time. At worst I had to fly a different aircraft for some time. You make it sound as if game breaking issues are occuring every other day........
