From Kate Perederko (dotrugirl) on Discord:

 

1. Stable version will be updated in the coming days, before the holidays (Dec 31 -- Jan 10 in Russia).

 

2. The AH-64D (2002) will be developed, but the Early Access version will be closer to the AH-64A in terms of features. Radar is not yet confirmed ("it's a secret").

 

3. According to Kate, the new clouds are "already optimized" (you won't need the 3080 to run it). They will be released in multiple stages: 1. Presets only (release date - with the 2.6, "as soon as possible", "we're almost there", "no, not 'in two weeks' - more like 'in two months'") 2. Configurable weather 3. Dynamic weather. Apparently, the new clouds will be synced in multiplayer at stage 1 already.

 

4. No Tornado for DCS: no data in open sources, and the aircraft's manufacturer denied ED's purchase requests.

 

5. Afghanistan map is quite possible (DCS already has a lot of relevant units for this setting). Vietnam map - rather no than yes. Cuba - no. Overall, ED doesn't have any definite plans regarding future maps.

 

6. ED is going to "take away" all bombs and rockets from the 3rd party devs (weapons will be developed internally).

 

7. The development of the clickable Mig-29 9-12 will start after the Black Shark 3.

 

8. Dynamic Campaign will be given to beta testers in the first half of 2021. It's already playable, but users should not expect anything breathtaking at start. This will be a long continuous work.

 

9. No World War 1 in DCS, it's not even planned.

 

10. Mi-24 has been postponed from the initial "Autumn 2020" release because ED wanted to create the multi-crew subsystem first. The module is not quite ready for release yet, but there's "light at the end of the tunnel". AI co-pilot for Mi-24 will have name (like Jester), but "it's a secret".

 

11. Kate promised to personally hold all future modules (including the Mi-24) from being released half-baked. They don't want to repeat the Viper's fiasco.

 

14. Caucasus map will NOT be expanded to include detailed Ukrainian & Crimean territories.

 

15. Marianas map will first be released in modern version. WWII variant will follow. Development of this map has been slowed down because of the COVID.

 

16. Combined Arms 2 is on hold, all devs are busy elsewhere.

 

17. F-4 will be developed, eventually, but probably by a 3rd party dev. No particular model has been picked yet.

18. Me.262 is NOT in the works.

19. Mig-27 is NOT in the works. Not planned neither.

20. AH-1 - "not yet".

21. WWII Zero from ED - "probably" (in the internal wishlist).

22. Soviet WWII planes - not planned. When asked about La-7, teased by OctopusG this Summer, Kate replied "I don't know anything about it".

23. No immediate plans to release more naval helos & planes, E-2 or C-2.

 

24. ED can't yet figure out how to merge multiple maps into one (e.g. Normandy and The Channel).

25. Kate promised to personally deal with the Mirage's radar problem.

26. ED think they found a way to solve paratroopers and AI pathfinding issues.

27. No immediate plans to make the T-72B3 user-controllable.

28. The new ground ATC is still at the very early stages of development.

29. ED doesn't really want to add civilian air traffic in DCS, because "we're military sim".

30. ED will not allow 3rd party devs to officially create the Su-57 module for DCS.

31. DCS merchandise - "more info early next year".
