scommander2 Posted May 29, 2024 Author Posted May 29, 2024 Hi @IronMike, 1. first of all, congrats the F-4E success delivery. I have played it and I like the lots of new designs that HB has implemented. 2. I believe that F-14AB is the golden masterpiece in one of the HB products and I think that many users would like to see it shines as F-4E. Is it possible kindly to review our list (above) and let us know that HB has any planning to make us surprises in the future ED releases? Thanks a lots!! 1 Spoiler Dell XPS 9730, i9-13900H, DDR5 64GB, Discrete GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080, 1+2TB M.2 SSD | Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS + TPR | TKIR5/TrackClipPro | Total Controls Multi-Function Button Box | Win 11 Pro

scommander2 Posted June 3, 2024 Author Posted June 3, 2024 (edited) Per @PhantomHans comment, I am still thinking our list may be going to be an "add-on" upgrade since HB developers need the funding to work on them because nothing is free.

I'll go out on a limb and assume he's asking for a single 2-way switch binding in addition to the current individual up and down bindings for the landing flaps. Doesn't seem that unreasonable, if that's the case.
