Nobody has a sense of humour. I was just having fun with the wording. I mean, c'mon, everyone want to be extra special. 

 

Need Nick Grey to pop in with that magnificent voice: "Everything is fine... you're awllll extra special pilots to us."

Your special, that's for sure.

Since we have options for off/auto/manual you will have your choice no matter what the fix means.

After all, one change can change everything here, why do you think it will stay as it is now when it has been stated that they are working on changes? Even for a while after a certain change the "off" option did not work.

An updated AI flight model will sharpen bandit behaviour in aerial combat.

 

Define 'sharpen?'

The warhead power of the Mk-80 series and M117 bombs was corrected to reflect realistic explosive blast radii

That's nice that ED started to work on updating blast radius for weapons. Hopefully we will be able to use bombs reliably without that splash damage script.

It sounds dangerous , and it should be mentioned that the current AI MiG-21 flies like crazy.

Yeah, we really don't need the AI MiG-21 being any sharper.  

I'm hoping they mean they've put in limitations on what it can do. I'm hoping that. It's ridiculous that it has taken literal years for some acknowledgement.

Has ED considered updating the early access liveries of the F-16 to be more detailed?

Currently, most of the default F-16 liveries in DCS lack detail significantly.

I asked the same question on the previous page, without answer from ED.

Even though I am very pleased with the continuous development of the beloved F/A-18C, I really wonder if and when the Hornet will ever be fully developed. After all, it was released more than seven years ago.

You'd have to define "fully developed". DCS is in constant development, never meant to reach any specific final stage. Also modules get reworks after some time, added features, maintenance and bug fixes.

Hi, we are coming closer to completing all of our development goals for the F/A-18C,

currently working 

• Additional MSI functions [In Progress]
• Continued refinements to the flight model and flight control system [In Progress]
• Updated external lights [In Progress]
• Updated radar performance [In Progress]
• Radar Terrain Avoidance (TA) mode. [In Progress]

but even after our goals are complete development tweaks and bug fixes will continue.

And another sale. Okay.

 

Ya sure can't fault ED for being stingy with the discounts.

Just scored the Mig-21 this aft, with that lovely discount no less. It was the last one on my list of things to get. I got it more for the "museum aspect" than for any real plans to make missions with it. Had it recently on the free trial and I just enjoy flying it around and experiencing the Mig-ness of it. And those landings...  

 

And now I await my C-130. That's a big #1 on my list of modules I'm waiting for.
