Very good interview. You guys are so lucky to have had the time with Wags! :)

I guess one of the questions I would have been tempted to ask is how well the A/G

radar was coming along for the hornet. :) , but the dynamic campaign Q&A was good to hear.

11:44 - Eastern Bloc Aircraft in DCS? So what your saying is aslong as the 3rd party is not in Russia a module can be made? Aslong as permission granted? SU-30 35, What your saying is ED cant make one full-stop becuase there a Russian based company.

That's what we took away from it as well. Obviously any third party developer would need to acquire sufficient data to prove to ED they can accurately make the model, so aircraft like the Su-30 and 35 might still be difficult. That said, it doesn't mean someone can't make a study-level MiG-29 or Su-27, which has more widely published data

Any 3rd party to take on the task would make a killing to be honest its a gold mine right there full fidelity SU-27 would make $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I'm also ok with the fact that MAC is not part of dcs world, but how they will manage the current FC3 modules? Will be removed from DCS? Will they remain as they are? There will be a chance for FC3 owners to move towards MAC and separate the two products? Can DCS and MAC work together online (one plays f-15 Mac and One plays f-18 dcs on the same online server?). Still a lot of things to know about...
