q regarding (mostly) to early access (F-14)

I don't remember that ED allowed another module to be released while there is currently another available for pre-purchase.

So I assume we won't see the Tomcat released (or any other module) before the summer.

I've never heard of such a rule. Source?

from the Cobra847;

The aircraft feels very much like a complete product (despite the in-game aircraft still being the Chromecat) - but we need some more time to migrate in all of our new art assets, and brush all of the dust away. The FM is complete, and most, if not all of the systems are Early Access or close to Early Access ready.

we’re very excited to note that the F-14 codebase can be considered in a practically Early Access ready state

I was talking in a similar discussion, and no one could remember two modules overlap each other before release. Yes we know ED will do what it wants to do. However, it was wondered in the conversation if it was a part of the GLA because it has never happened. A module in pre-sale and then a second module going on sale at the same time has not happened. Unless we remember incorrectly. DCS has also never had this much activity in the pipeline, so that alone could change things.

Hopefully we get the F-14 first. By the sounds of it is further a long. We know the F-18 won't even have the air to ground radar and most of it's weapons so I sure hope they don't hold the F-14 up.

Happy to be wrong here. Sith stated in a different thread that other modules can be released at anytime, regardless of the Hornet's Spring early access windows.

Bring on the Tomcat!

Alright, but that's just speculation then.

75% of these forums is speculation. Wouldn't you agree? Release dates, modules, etc. People have questions all the time.

well there's educated speculation and there's wishful thinking.

i think with consideration to the lead times presale marketing needs, there's no reason to believe the tomcat will beat the hornet to release.

there's always going to be a very distinctive increase in pr tempo preceding major events, and it's just not there yet.

I don't really care which between these two modules comes out first. I just hope they are staggered so that I'm not overwhelmed and my heart explodes or something.
