Yeah! Gimme gimme gimme! :D Seriously though, this seems to be in early integration now so maybe best wait a bit as mentioned.. Will not make waiting any easier for us though knowing that it's in practically flyable state.. :D

With the updated flight model to PFM (in 1.2.8 beta) Eagle instantly jumped to my favourite from FC3 aircraft. It at least equals, maybe even surpasses some other DCS modules for me now. Before the update Su-27/33 were my favourites in FC3.

That's not part of EDGE which is graphics and map engine.. But I do want that soon also :D

Also sharing screenshots etc. might be nice, same way as Steam does it? Anyway, single player and multiplayer stats both should be seen there, not just single player as current logbook does it.. Maybe separately in different pages and some "total" page as well? Off-topic: One thing that could be useful is some simple way of sharing missions, similar to way Steam workshop integrates with various games? Sure you can browse downloads for DCS, unzip and run missions but how about some way to do it "in client" and filter by aircraft, uploads from mission editor and so on?

Great stuff! Remember to rest properly, we are expecting more great work from you guys ;)

Just stunning, brilliant work! :surprise: :bounce:

I don't know the devs, but they may work in other projects "full-time" and this on the "free-time". Such is the story of many starting studios where there is not much financial backing yet. That does not diminish their professionalism or commitment to the project at all, but it can cause unexpected delays. Now, if they are full-time on this module then all the better but fact of software industry is that there are unexpected problems all the time which cause delays but then something else goes smoother than expected and it evens out. Just my thoughts on this, people are jumping to weird conclusions too easily IMHO..

+1 for level-headed response :thumbup:

A small improvement that would help usability tremendously: a combobox/dropdown list to select existing group (where you input name of the group). This should help locating specific group quickly and easily. Could be made as a "tree" with category+group such as "helicopters"+<group name> or "armor"+<group name> Sorry if this is already mentioned or exists somewhere, just started learning about mission editor..

Awesome job on the new flight model! :thumbsup: Btw, still trying to get used to calling it "PFM" instead of AFM :smilewink:

But you lived! :thumbup:

Well F-15 was already in progress so perhaps people voted something else entirely since "we are getting that anyway" ? I wonder how many voters would have put it first if it wasn't being made already?

He did say in another thread that there is still backlog of emails to sort out.. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=122157

Same here, it is cool addition and shows DCS capabilities well. Now, multi-seat support for multiplayer next? :thumbup:

Looking great on those screenshots :) Keep it up :) On the topic of banned symbols: I think in they are allowed in purely historical context even in Germany where they are pretty strict on the use of swastika. Finnish air force did use similar symbol for a different reason until end of WW2 but changed it afterwards, this was originally good luck charm of a Swedish count actually and not related to political parties. Some more details here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnish_Air_Force

This is big step forwards in community relations so far: don't let people strike you down with negative posts- Cheers. :thumbsup:

Considering EDGE has not been released yet I'm not surprised that tools aren't yet available either.. Especially if the new graphics engine needs/wants different map format or similar changes.

It is easier to wait if you're being optimistic: "it's only few more months to wait".. Right? :smilewink: :smartass:

Calling it FLIGHT model may have something do with this ;) Also, many people might not know all the things that need to be modeled from an actual aircraft and how they interact in a simulation.. Perhaps AFM should be called "aircraft dynamic model" or something like that instead?

Voted yes, but no rush: finish Nevada first ;)

Considering Falcon 4.0 was released in 1998 and simulated only one aircraft.. Yes, it can be topped. Even with the impressive BMS version of Falcon it does show it's age. And the prime benefit of DCS is the ability to integrate multiple modules together, something that was only a pipe-dream at the time Falcon was released. Yes, Falcon 4.0 was impressive simulation _at the time_ but it does have it's limitations and it is not even sold anymore anywhere.

There are many sources for map data but they all usually want money for the use of it. And then you would have to convert that data into format used in DCS and add other stuff like trees, houses etc. to make it look like actual world. So there's lot of work and costs involved as well, not only IP/copyright reasons.

So multiplayer login is not working? Which server? DCS master, your own or some other server? Most likely reason is usually firewall/NAT/proxy between clients and servers. Other than that, there is not much information yet to diagnose further. Try looking at logs written by DCS and if there's nothing check firewall logs for blocked connections and so on.

Well, before getting hard copy of manuals those need to be printed and written first and before that there needs to modules for which the manuals will be made for.. Initial promises were rather optimistic I think but there's no rush in those, I'd like to see flyable modules sooner than T-shirts anyway.. ;)

If the choices are between actual development work and weeked updates I'd prefer actual development still.. :D Sure, it would be nice to hear about progress more regularly but something has to give when there is a lot to do. Either way, I'll be happy with current update rate but even happier when we get to actually fly those planes ;)
