This is the key question, as far as I'm concerned. The F-15E is far from finished, and without continuing support, liable to break at some point. I paid ED for it, with the expectation of continuing development and support. As far as I'm concerned, until I receive an assurance from ED that if negotiations fail, and such development and support not be forthcoming, I will receive compensation, I will not be purchasing any further ED products. 2

"We're still in negotiations with Razbam and we're hopeful for a positive outcome"? They've said that. Not sure what more they *could* say. I would think on legal grounds that lawyers on both sides would strongly advise both parties that they say more than that. They're not likely to EVER lay out the details of the dispute publicly because that's likely covered by confidentially agreements of some sort. So what they've said/are saying is probably literally all they can say until negotiations fail completely or come to a positive resolution. After almost 2 months of silence, saying something to the community would be very appreciated. We're "making their dreams come true" as NG from ED said many times. I feel like I'm left to a side. I want to know what will happen with the Razbam modules, and specifically what will happen with the F-15E, it only received 6 months of updates since release and we don't have any module update since February.

I believe after the VEAO drama that ED crafted that they ultimately own the 3D models and software in case the 3rd party backs out so the module can -at least- be updated to current specs to make it compatible with future patches...but barring whether or not they can get another 3rd party modder to finish the model or ED finish it themselves is the only thing really up for debate. 4 Intel 13900k @ 5.8ghz | 64gb GSkill Trident Z | MSI z790 Meg ACE | Zotac RTX4090 | Asus 1000w psu | Slaw RX Viper 2 pedals | VPForce Rhino/VKB MCE Ultimate + STECS Mk2 MAX / Virpil MongoosT50+ MongoosT50CM | Virpil TCS+/ AH64D grip/custom AH64D TEDAC | Samsung Odyssey G9 + Odyssey Ark | Next Level Racing Flight Seat Pro | WinWing F-18 MIPS | No more VR for this pilot.

falcon_120 Posted May 29, 2024 Posted May 29, 2024 Yeah any update on ongoing conversations would be reassuring. BTW, we start to see elements not correctly working in the F15E with new updates, just opened a bug report because the new fuze options are not selectable for anything added to the Left and right CFT hardpoints, so basically you are left with underwing and centerline station if you need to change fuze setting etc.

If Razbam leaves and ED retains the files, they can offer up and contract another 3rd party to finish the work if ED cant. Nobody can stop Razbam from leaving once they finish their obligations barring what you mentioned. 2 Intel 13900k @ 5.8ghz | 64gb GSkill Trident Z | MSI z790 Meg ACE | Zotac RTX4090 | Asus 1000w psu | Slaw RX Viper 2 pedals | VPForce Rhino/VKB MCE Ultimate + STECS Mk2 MAX / Virpil MongoosT50+ MongoosT50CM | Virpil TCS+/ AH64D grip/custom AH64D TEDAC | Samsung Odyssey G9 + Odyssey Ark | Next Level Racing Flight Seat Pro | WinWing F-18 MIPS | No more VR for this pilot.

Ignition Posted May 30, 2024 Posted May 30, 2024 So many assumptions and saying things for granted. As if ED or another 3rd party could continue a module made from another developer in a few minutes when we don't even have an official announcement in 2 months. 2

shinobi61 Posted May 30, 2024 Posted May 30, 2024 i play multiplayer, it seems these bugs are just going to pile up on RB modules now
nessuno0505 Posted May 30, 2024 Posted May 30, 2024 (edited) RB once said ED does not have their core files. But even if they had access to the files, ED already has a long queue of half-finished modules, it's unrealistic they can take the burden of m2k, av-8b, mig-19 and f-15e. Maybe they could pass them to another 3rd party (a completely new one since all the existing already have their work), but I don't believe this is possible; it's more likely RB keeps its projects and port them to another simulator, even a civil one.

Sure… they had the F-15E already for another civ. Sim and it took them only 12 years to „port“ it to DCS. Sounds pretty easy to „switch“ the games with their modules… Edited May 30, 2024 by Gizmo03 2
upyr1 Posted May 30, 2024 Posted May 30, 2024 I am hoping to get the answer from ED. Right now if a developer leaves DCS, would we be SOL? Would ED take over their modules or could another developer do so? For example if Razbam dropped could Heatblur potentially take over the Strike Eagle? 1
speed-of-heat Posted May 30, 2024 Posted May 30, 2024 We don't know. However, we do know that after the Hawk by VEAO, that there were changes made to the contract to "mitigate" a developer leaving ... speculation of controls includes putting the "code" (which in other contracts i have seen also includes documentation and source etc... ) into escrow, so that in theory ED could pick up the development, in the event that a developer "leaves" someone else could pick up the code... That requires a big lift to pick up something that complex, and is likely to be resource heavy to get up to speed, etc... so it's not like putting a lego block onto a pile ...

some1 Posted May 30, 2024 Posted May 30, 2024 As posted in the other thread, ED has no intention to take over and continue development of 3rd party module if the original developer ceases the support. Chizh and other ED team memebers made it pretty clear on the Russian forum. Regardless of whether Razbam issue gets resolved or not, that seems to be the current stance about all 3rd parties and it's not much different to how it works with MSFS, Xplane or even Steam itself.
