I did think that I'd read recently a comment that ED Dev resources were fully directed onto the Mig29.  Whilst I assume that excludes devs working on say Vulkan or the maps, that does still infer that no dev "effort" is being spent on older modules.

It would be good to clarify either way what was meant by that, as it's not a good look to infer that modules already paid for are ignored just to allow onboarding of something snazzy and new.

Once again there is nothing for the Mosquito in the latest updates. 😭

Yep feels like its certainly has no interest with the dev's any more, when was the last time it got updated I have forgotten ??.

 

Do you realize that this kind of threads only serve to drive away any potential new customers of this aircraft?  which in turn only discourages ED from investing anymore on it?  you are shooting onto your own feet here 🤨

... and why it needs updates if the aircraft has no real serious issues?

Last path show many bugfixing on old modules (F/A-18C/F-16/AH-64/Mi-24/Mi-8), as previos patchs. And remember ED has working on F6F Hellcat module to WW2 and PTO Assets Pack Units.

I believe SD is right, and the WWII team has their hands full with the Hellcat.

Which means there's little to none of that dev time dedicated for the Mosquito. It's only natural to feel dissatisfaction and feel like it's abandoned. I bought the moment it came out, it's been gathering dust in the hangar most of the time. Then I had to take a break from games for 2 years, when I get back and check on the mossie, it's the same when I left...

 

Difficult to find positivity in that and why should I anyway. I admit this has changed the way I purchase modules these days but that causality.

I don't disagree. It was just an observation on how ED prioritises WWII, and a hope that they will give the Mossie some love post the Hellcat release.
I sorely wishes that ED had multiple WWII teams like they have for helis and jets. But it is what it is, and most of all speculations on my behalf.

Cheers!

Oh man do I wish that as well, I want to believe.

I hope they'd hire more faculty even tho. it's always expensive.

I find this thread odd ... Can someone tell me what issues the Mosquito has? on my DCS it seems to work fine, so I fail to see the need to have it "fixed" ... of course I'd like to have some kind of autopilot that can take over while I fiddle with the radios, but that is hardly a bug and I get that it would be unrealistic.

I find it more "unrealistic" and slightly immersion breaking to have to switch seats to tune radios in the first place.  I would really like to see some simple AI for the right hand seat to tune the radios or give a rough nav heading, controlled by something similar to the "Jester Wheel".  The Mosquito feels very lonely.

Not sure, while there are a list of missing features somewhere IIRC. I believe that's what people are hinting at.
Personally, I have some issues with FFB I can work around, and with the autopilot mod, that radios aren't really an issue. For the fuel switches I can use VoiceAttack.

OK, I actually searched before posting here, but I was looking for bug reports, not wished features. So, the thread's title is a bit dramatic it seems, because I can fly the Mosquito with no real problems, even managed to finish Reflected's Campaign without encountering any show stopping bug.  

I believe that asking developers to constantly invest man-hours on a DCS Module is a bit unrealistic, but of course we can ask for real bugs to be solved in a timely fashion ... that does not means a module is "abandoned", I wish ED updated its "early access tag" and replaced it with a "Fully Released" tag instead.

In my opinion, until it leaves EA it SHOULD be under constant development. We buy these modules in EA to support their development, not to have them left to die.

That is actually a fair point, while I agree with @Rudel_chw calling it "abandoned" is the wrong term for it. I'd say that the EA tag shows that it's not abandoned at all. 

Cheers!

Well to be fair, the OP was inquiring about the "controllable AI Navigator/radio operator". 

Granted, this was listed as a feature coming "after early access" so technically it's not missing (as 'after' could be anytime in the future), but I don't think it makes sense to call it a 'wished feature'. 

I was (and still am!) looking forward to it

Better have it out of EA then.
