No...no... need another two weeks.... lol... 

Someone didn’t listen to what Reflected said in his announcement video

No offensive, and just relax chat for the status of the campaign...

Man, they need to release the early A, the late B, and Iraq south before I can start finalizing the campaign, and THEN it will take months before I can even submit to ED.

It’s great to know there’s more content for a module coming, even if it’s announced months or more before a release is feasible.

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t…

Did you consider including the still classified "temporal anomaly" incident that - allegedly - happened to the USS Nimitz in 1980? Where Tomcats from VF-84 - allegedly - splashed two RJN Mitsubishi Zeros (that looked suspiciously like re-painted T-6 Texans)?   Would be a nice Easter egg, especially the narration could potentially be hilarious.

And what about this one:

?

Early-A seems to be released in the next patch

Three decades later we still speak about alleged MiG-28?

Mig-28 is a sort of Airpower knowledge test: we will always talk about it

Thanks.

HB has released for Viggen, and hope Tomcat is next....  

Anyway, thanks for the hard work

I have considered it, but scratched the idea. DCS triggers are inadequate to detect the player's position during a maneuver, so it's pretty hard for me to know when the player does it right or deviates. It was hard enough to set up the fam flights in Speed n Angels and MiG Killers, and in those there was only 1 simple maneuver at a time.

I could just give you a demo program and make you fly it, but only some would follow it properly, the rest would just goof around. Hardly an interesting mission without interactive feedback from your RIO - which, as I said, is not possible in DCS. If the player followed the program 90%, I could do it. but realistically, most players won't, and such triggers cannot be made 'forgiving' at all. So I figured it's a rabbit hole I don't want to go down, answering all the 'bug reports' how it doesn't work

That's a shame but I get where it's coming from, I trust your experience on what can and can't be done to delight our inner child! Can't wait to fly it!

Btw, I know you already announced your upcoming campaigns, but do you have anything you're going to share soon ? As both your upcoming campaings are on hold waiting for DCS updates (PTO, early -A, -BU, and parts of the Iraq map)

[Reflected]

Not much, really. I'm busy setting up the Corsair and Tomcat missions with what we have now.
