I'm also wondering why there is no mentioning of Vulcan anymore after it has been praised for years. Did they give up on that?

how they can show it in video? Tomorrow there will be (should be, at least) a huge newsletter with some explanations and plans for the future, hope to see release windows for 130, DC, Vulkan, 4C and Typhoon

My highlights of the 2025:

- F-5E remastered,

- fog,

- AH-64 rotor animation and audio 😉

- new standard for pilot/cockpit immersion

I am still wondering what those palm trees were all about. I didn't really see any Vietnam or Marianias Pacific WW2 action.

I'm wondering if this is actually Caucasus 2.0.  The first part of the Video showcased the dynamic campaign over Georgia, the palm trees featured around this point too.  And... if you go onto google maps and look at say downtown Poti on street view, you can see plenty of palm trees.  Just my theory.

Some of the planes, but all of the maps!

I think the night images, with better lights, fog, clouds, etc, will be Vulkan.

I watched a lot of ED's videos in the past years, but the sheer quality of this first part is breathtaking. The motion, the lights, the crisp details... Sometimes I  genuinely tought it's real world footage it's so good. Hats off ED.

We're eagerly waiting for the newsletter. 🙂

-I have a bad feeling about the F35. It is Pandora's box of problems with the lack of data, and also glass cockpits are boring.

-The next F-15 full fidelity model without resolving the Razban situation is salt in the wound.

+-The level of detail of infantry seems to be a waste of resources, I would prefer adding better movement animation for current models.

+The German map looks to be nice, ideal for helicopter player

+The C-130 is still in the work, I am looking for that module.

+Alternative HUD for F-14, it is always good to have the option to choose.

+-It would be funny if the first full-fidelity ground vehicle was the T-34-85 🙂

+Dynamic campaign will be nice. And if it is also connected with AI to voice narrate some in-game radio text or even the auto-generated briefing, it would be better. I hope that with the dynamic campaign, they will brink the save-load function into the DCS.

 

 

I think having Nick on there would have started a riot... Just sayin'.

That crossed my mind too. Was hoping it would be mentioned in the credits. 😔

Fingers crossed.

F6F, F4U and Zero (starting to think, that will be a module on the future) appears, but not other PTO stuff (Carriers, tanks, etc)..... Marianas WW2 appears on some shots. And of course, a T-34 🙂 ETO incoming?

Other module missing has be the La-7.

Shame, I would prefer the F-22A more
But imagine how easy it will be to make a simpit. Just purchase a huge secondary touch screen, and you're good to to.

its NOT an F22 look at the intake and the nose profile

It even has the F35A shoulder hump for the gun.

 

Yup I see the F-35A in the module list, it just didn't look chubby enough in the video, meh, not interested anyway.

Not sure how they would mention it  in what is just a cinematic video without narration.

It's the F-35A, there's a sub forum for it now with a Q & A

Yeh I found it, this has to be the single most pointless module ED has ever committed to, hence my disbelief, oh well.

I can't help but think they've made a huge rod for their own back now that the standard 'do you have declassified docs for that?' reply to amendments/upgrade requests to existing jets holds no water. If they were going to do a stealth platform and were relaxing the stance on 'we need the docs' that surprised they didn't have a tilt at the F-117 first. I know it featured fleetingly in the video but I assume from us having an F35A sub-forum within minutes but not an F-117 that its not a module actively in the works. Plus it'd probably feel much less out of place/time in the wider game than the F-35.

The Germany map looks pretty mega from what they showed, and i've been looking forward to see what the Typhoon ends up like for a while. Also kind of curious about the Herc when it materialises. 

I'm not going to lie, i'd much rather have a finished Strike Eagle than the F-15C. On that note, I hope the complete absence of RB jets in this years video isn't a sign that the conclusion of that spat isn't going to be a positive one.

Rumor has it FF F-117 is coming from a 3rd party. Have heard that rumour before, while I don't remember where and when by whom.

I absolutely love the full fidelity F-15C, but when it comes to the F-35 so many questions come to mind:

  • No DCS module used AESA radar before
  • No DCS module used stealth before
  • Real F-35 avionics alghoritms, EW, sensors integration, weapon systems, radar modes, all the software etc. has probably more lines of code then whole DCS (!) - how to code such thing, even assuming access to full documentation?
  • It's cutting edge technology and one of NATO's trum cards just barely starting to enter service - let's be honest, it's just strictly classified...

Maybe ED has received contract from the military, as 1100 F-35 has already been produced, to make a training tool for the USAF/NATO and they came to conclusion they can make it to the commercial public DCS is some shape or form? Or maybe it's better to wait for ED's take on the F-35 before speculating too much.
