New Su-25 Check In

[VFXBLENDER]

Hello everyone. For the past 5 months I haven't heard any new announcements about the upcoming free Su-25. If anyone has any information about it please post anything you have here. I think we would all appreciate it greatly.

It´s not free, its a free visual update of the FC Su-25

I wish it comes soon, love that aircraft, and it needed some love.

No, it is going to be another free aircraft.

Really? I didn't expect that

I just remembered there was an article that came out on January 31st on the official DCS website, where it said that there would be a free Su-25 coming to DCS soon. Here's the link to that article: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/news/2025-01-31/

Regular Su-25 is such a fun crate, I think adding that to the free to play stable is a great move on ED's part. It flies sporty  when loaded with six bins of rockets and makes some pretty impressive booms with that.

The Su-25a you’re talking about?

There is no such thing as "Su-25A". The basic version is just 'Su-25'.

Ah ok. I think I just saw people calling it the "Su-25a" on YouTube, that's why I started calling it that. But still, no new free Su-25 then?

Hi, it was officially mentioned - later this year so not too soon. I think Q4.

There was a little information about a month ago (from Wags).

Hey, there are three months left until the end of the year. It's great that the MiG-29A FF has arrived, but what about the promised Su-25 FC3 refresh?

Maybe some news in the weekly news + some screenshots? Is there still a chance the new Su-25 will appear this year?

Yeah, looking forward to that big time. Such a great plane. 

 

FF please.

What is the reason given the new Su-25 isn't full-fat?

Full fidelity? Don't think they would give that away for free, and I have a feeling they are working on one already, or making a decision based on the Fulcrum sales.

Cheers!

If they have enough data about the flight model: there must be a reason why Su-25 is the only FC3 bird without PFM

It would be an instant buy from me if they make it FF, obviously!

I would preorder that the minute they'd start taking my money for it  Probably give away a couple too!

if i am correct there are 2 types of years one is regular yearly calendar which is followed worldwide for mostly everything which is Gregorian calendar, according to it the start of the year is 1st January 2025 and then there is financial year which changes from country to country. so which one does ED follow and if financial means when is their financial year start/end.

After all, when Wags recorded the video, when he mentioned the release of the newer Su-25 (end of this year), he was not saying this to accountants , but to DCS users and pilots. I don't think YouTube is for that. XD
