So, I read it like you're definitely gonna fold?
Good for you! You deserve it buddy!
I still want some positive vibes first.

There will be a summer sale obviously, but we might have one before that. But I don't know what it's to be called.
It will be called the "To keep the children quiet sale".
If something is due, and then delayed, there will be a sale. Everyone knows there are no new releases during sales, so everyone reflexively takes a breath and turns their dials to "calm" for two-weeks.

Nevertheless. The "other" flight sim can't do any of that.
The "others" just feel mushy to me. DCS feels tight and right.

A little?
Perhaps a crapton and a half?

Norton.
I know a lot of people hate it, but it's worked well for me for years.

Steam is easy if you want one stop shopping for all your game purchases and care thereof. I can't remember why I started out with DCS on Steam but I did, and it works, and I'm still on it.
Also, you can try a product before it's out on free trial, and if you use it for less than two-hours and decide you don't like it, you can get a refund. I've done that three-times over the years I think, and ended up re-buying the modules later on and keeping them. I also like to load up my Steam wallet when work is solid. So no credit card action for modules in the down season, everything is pre-paid.

I wish you all the best come June with the new modules and terrains. Be strong my good man.
You're a gent!
I have enough in my Steam wallet for three modules. I'm ready to buy. I'm eager to buy. But someone has to send some positive vibes. Where is the love?

I love my DCS, but my wallet is closed until there is clarity.

Rally don't get the "no boom boom is boring "
I recommend people read books by Huey pilots in Vietnam. What they did was at least as skillful and daring as any fighter pilot (maybe even more so) Same goes for Chinnock pilots.
Exactly. This is a flightsim first and foremost, I'd say 50% of my flight time is just for the fun of flying. No "Kaboom!" And the Chinook is going to be a blast to fly.
As far as Huey books go, "Chickenhawk".

So now they're trying to sell yet another helicopter, except, it has no offensive weapons, . . .
Yeah, but it's going to be a riot to fly.

Do me an analogue/steam gauge Chinook and I'll buy it. No interest in glass cockpit - such a shame as I worked with these for years in the '80's and would love to have a D model. Also did several assaults off the back of them - awesome experience.
I completely understand your love for steam gauges.
But for me, born before Neil took one small step, I want all the fancy tech toys I can get my hands on. It's 2024 and I want my space ship.

Oh, and I love the music in the trailer. Brought a smile to my face right away.

No worries! We're two months out! I'm sure you'll be satisfied.

I certainly hope so. I am optimistic and enthusiastic. I am looking forward to whoopin' around in the Chinook for the sheer fun of flying. It's gonna be great.
But someone somewhere has got to throw me some good news first. They have their price, I have mine.

Just now, Rudel_chw said:
The Ch-47 is being sold on the same e-Store where I bought all my Razbam modules, so it is pretty related on my view ...
I am super enthusiastic about the CH-47. Easy Top 3 of any of the upcoming modules. But I need some feel-good from the powers that be first.

Sweet!
I am seriously hot and bothered for this chopper. But I share Rudel's concerns, and will wait.

I hope it's coming soon. Been nothing new since June of 2023. Longest dry spell I've seen with DCS.
I hope Kola or the Phantom coming out doesn't push the other back by months just for the sake of separating product releases.

Yes Im his customers and fan from years and good member (his old Forum). I know his quality, but also I have had bad experiences with SA maps of Razbam (and still Im waiting for patches). Although there seemed to be only 2-3 people there, and ORBX has quite a large team.
Just hope ORBX doesn't get into the "coming soon" thing where it means sometime between two-weeks and when your grandchildren retire.

Right, I hope only that they dont bring the same issues which are present in South Atlantic map by Razbam (named: performance & optimalization).
Also +1 for trail period from beginning. This is ORBX's debut here, Id like to know the performance (especially in VR) before buying.
On one hand they have no experience with DCS, but on the other hand they've been making terrain for a long time and in great quantity.
I'm feeling positive about it.

He showed three-years of charts, all too small to see properly. Brilliant.

I'm on Steam and my pilot needs an exorcism. His head is a' shaking.
Doesn't bother me, but I guess a bug is a bug.

Makes me think of my pre-DCS days, flying another sim but taking a look at the DCS forums from time to time, and seeing change logs 100 lines long with things like:
Fixed - AIM-7 sub vector paint micrometer bearings
Fixed - AIM-7 partial fin delayed reaction cooling
Fixed - AIM 7 weekly gyro update crew tangent above Mach 1
...and I'm thinking WTF! is all this?
Now it all makes sense.

Fixed the flashlight in the Yak-52.
I'll take that as a win.

What surprises me most is the vast majority of players likes A-G over A-A, but then prefers f/a-18 and f-16 over a-10. The taste for new stuff?
Speed, height, distance. Even with A2G those are beautiful things. (But still love me some A-10)
And those funky long range A2G weapons and radar targeting, you get your Space Shuttle of Death jive going on.
