It is much easier to perform similar missions with modern fighters such as the F-16.

You don't say? Shocked!

Although everyone has different preferences, I believe that most computer pilots still prefer to fly modern fighters.

You are entitled to your preferences and opinion. And you are probably correct. We're getting an F-15C and an F-35 something, so your post doesn't make sense at all. 

Enjoy your weekend!

The MiG-29A is a fighter similar to the F-4E, but of course it is slightly more advanced than the F-4E.
 

Slightly, eh? You could say that the MiG-23M was slightly more advanced, the MiG-29 was just way better in almost everything when it comes to a2a

To be honest, the MiG-29A is not easy to operate in the real world and is not a very likable fighter. If you want to achieve sales results, you should give priority to developing more modern models.

I agree with you, in fact I wish to see the one of the DCS banner (I think is the J-15) fully simulated!

The banner is a Su-33 with a J-15 skin

also played with the F-4E fighter. After actually performing ground attack missions, I was really impressed by the pilots during the Vietnam War who could fly such an antique to perform missions. It is much easier to perform similar missions with modern fighters such as the F-16.

You're comparing different aircraft generations. The role of technology is to make things 'easier', so did the F-16 in comparison to 3rd gen fighters.

Lack of 'know better'. The more time you spend on flight sims, the more you'll prefer old and challenging tech because is more rewarding.

Modern modules are shinny attractions. Albeit fun indefinitely, the real meat of the matter will always be the lack of automation in operating a simulated aircraft, including fancy HUDs and all aspect homing IR missiles.

I too love the Viper, Hornet, A-10C, F-15E any day of the week. But the F-4E, and similar era jets, just steals the scene.

It will be highly likeable module, if faithfully made then.

How do you know it's an SU-33? The differences between the two aren't visible in the image.

That is, engines, cockpit, radar, etc.

Unless you designed the banner

They always use in-game footage for these. And we have no J-15 in DCS, not even plans.

Bad news, it seems my short stay outside of DCS will become a permanent vacation.

The exact skin in the banner is a default skin in the game. The stripes don’t exactly make it hard to tell.

I don't remember where but I read it will be out in Q2 2025.

Yes, I also remember the release date was in the second quarter of this year, but I couldn't find the source. It may have come from some unremarkable update announcement

It was said that the release would be moved from Q1 to Q2, but I'm afraid we'll find out that it will be even later from what we see. Currently ED says "later this year" which may be ambiguous. Wags in his videos about Cold War Germany never used the MiG-29 FF model, and he always liked to show about new things in connection with videos about other topics. So not 2 weeks I suppose … Q3-Q4.

Thanks, that's most definitely new cockpit. Compare to the current FC MiG-29:

[EricJ]

So to confirm, they're using the external FC3 model, but entirely new cockpit? I can go with the external model as it really isn't that bad and if I want to skin I can use my old templates.

No, that’s not how it works.

Well, if you don't know yet, it is something that you must have in mind when seeing modules announcements: the average time it takes a module from the announcement to release is around 3 to 5 years. And if it is released earlier, it will be in a very alpha state, like the Chinook was. And usually at release, the module will lack subsystems and a complete damage model.

The thing I've learned by playing DCS in the last 15 years is that you just don't get into the hype after an announcement. You forget about it and meanwhile you enjoy what you can while you can. And when and if it is released, you enjoy the new toy.

In the end, DCS release dates are like Darth Vader's line to Lando Calrissian: "I'm altering the deal, pray I don't alter it any further".

I've been out of the loop for a few years, so bear with me. Anyway, I went to the site and got the 2017 templates. Thanks!

Thanks, just what I'm looking for

[Mainstay]

@BIGNEWY @NineLine maybe I missed it somewhere. 
 

What is the release schedule looking at newly announced modules in order?

Is it the MiG-29 first and then F-15 followed F-35?

Definitely MiG-29 this year, the rest is the future.

MiG-29A is next. 

I have no other release timelines to share for the F-15C or F-35A
