The new F-5E release trailer is awesome

Yeah, no worries.. This is usually how it works.. patience does matter.... lol, no doubt about that.

I'm having the same issue with both the Alpha and the Beta

Having the same issue with both the Alpha and the Beta.

I keep getting: Error, unknown module F-5E for both the Alpha and Beta when I try to update / install

Yeah, I agree. The F-16 does need to be a full DCS quality aircraft. I understand the 16 isn't everyone's favorite aircraft, and that's fine. Would be cool to see a DCS Mirage F.1, DCS Blackburn Buccaneer, DCS Jaguar, DCS Tornado and many others as well. The F-5 and Viggen will be a really cool edition to DCS. I can't wait. Lots of cool stuff coming out this year, going to be a lot of fun.

I'm sure we will get the 16 one day.. Still kind of blows my mind it has been overlooked after all these years. Lots of cool stuff coming out this year, which will make waiting a lot easier.

I'm not saying I want an FC3 F-16, trust me .. I don't.. Outside of the SU-25's, I can't stand FC3. I was suggesting a just a stop gap until the DCS F-16 comes out. But, I forgot about the FCR and CMS in the F-16.. I'm sure that would be a pain in the ass for people to get right and why put in the effort for a FC3 aircraft. Regardless, I'm sure once the F-18C comes out, the F-16 will be right behind it. If BMS can do it, I'm sure getting one into DCS won't be an issue. Thanks for the link CodeFox

Hello, Since an F-16 module isn't anywhere close to being released for DCS.. Can we get a Lock On Flaming Cliffs edition of the F-16? I think this would be an awesome edition to LOFC 3 and can hold us over until a DCS quality F-16 is made. Would be super cool to have the F-16 in game =)

Right on dude, super cool news. Great missions, look forward to flying this.

Leatherneck's Mig-21 is arguably the best quality module available, along with the A-10C, KA-50, Mig-15 and Sabre... . Razbam might be developing the Harrier and Tucano, but they have a long way to go in meeting Leatherneck, ED and Belsimtech's quality. Regardless of my opinion, Razbam will surely be one of the big dawgs in DCS, exciting times ahead. Wonder if the Harrier will be coming out the same time as Leatherneck's F-14?

Exactly.. Here we go.. this is going to get silly...

LOL! True story... It's a primary flight trainer converted to carry a few weapons.. Suddenly, people think it's the turbo prop equivalent to the A-10.. Give me a break.. It looks cool and has some nice avionics onboard, that's about it.. It has rarely been used in combat also.. Nowhere close to the A-10 or any other relevant Attack Aircraft. Sure will be fun to fly when practicing IFR, IFR approaches, etc, etc.. Maybe throw a few rocket / gun pods on it and blow up some light skinned vehicles.. Pretty amusing some people think this thing is a legit ground attack aircraft.

Dude.... The KA-50 isn't broken... Bottom line, this is a video game. Man, all this, "I think this should do this" & "I heard from a guy who heard, from a guy who heard, from a guy who watched a video" fuss about the alarm is a non-issue. If the alarm went off every time the aircraft was in a condition where there was a possibility of a blade strike / intersection.. the alarm would be on almost continuously.. All this fuss over the alarm, I'd hate to see your reaction to a XMNS chip light illuminating. I believe ED has a way better understanding, along with access to the people and documentation involved with modeling the KA-50. With that in mind, remember this is a video game for entertainment purposes only.. It will never be perfect. The KA-50 is fine and this is a video game... Everything will be alright... I promise

The JU-87.. Really...?? SMH

This is a combat related sim... Adding general aviation to this sim would ruin it! Last thing we need is a bunch of turds running around in their FSX quality Cessna 1/72's etc Adding a C-17, C-130, etc to fulfill a logistical gap would be cool though.

Dude.... you know this is just a VIDEO GAME right! None of these developers owe any of us an explanation, product updates, etc... Modules get released when they get released. Being kept in the dark by ED (and other devs) is nothing new and has been going on for years.. Yet, everybody continues to whine and cry on the forums, 24/7.. Like they are some authority figure on real life aviation or what these developers should or shouldn't do. Give it a rest.. Sidenote, - At least the Mirage 2000C isn't a huge waste of money like the VEAO Hawk.. That thing is junk, the only module I regret buying.

Thanks Zues67, I appreciate the info buddy. I'll go read up, thanks again.

Just some info to share about the F-15 and FBW: The F-15 has a mechanical flight control system in conjunction with a fly-by-wire system. It is fully flyable without the FBW system. It has positive to neutral tendencies and a flight computer is not absolutely necessary for the pilot to adequately control it. (negative tendency aircraft are difficult to control or even uncontrollable without computer assistance) "The pilot flies the machine through an analog electronic "fly by wire (FBW)" system named the "Control Augmentation System (CAS)", though the aircraft can still be flown if the CAS is disabled. " F15A was designed without FBW but they added the "control augmentation system" later, on a few As, and later. http://www.faqs.org/docs/air/avf15_1.htm

The roll rate and handling during rolls is fantastic in the Mirage 2000 (And earlier Mirgaes). The wing makes it very stable during a roll, especially coupled with the Flight Control / Fly By Wire systems working in concert.

Agreed!

Not sure if this the right spot to ask, so please forgive me if it isn't.. But are there any tutorials available? I know there is still a lot to be done, so if there aren't no big deal. The Mirage is fantastic though, really enjoy flying it.. Well done Razbam!

How about the Mirage F.1 series of aircraft? Another really awesome aircraft would be the Sepecat Jaguar and the Buccaneer. SU-17 or 22, Mig-23 or 27, A-4 Skyhawk, J-35 Saab Draken, F-16, F-8 Crusader, F-105 Thunder Chief...... I could go on, but I think this is good for now =)
