xvii-Dietrich Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 From the newsletter... The Spanish and Italian Navy both actively operate the AV-8B V/STOL.Does that mean there are now Spanish / Italian paintschemes? The Night Attack was first seen causing real havoc with the United States Marine Corps during the Gulf War of 1991.I had to read that several times. The marvellous machine continues to provide exceptional realism and withholds many features a Hornet Pilot could only dream of.Did you really mean "withholds"? Or was that supposed to be "has"? I'm also a little puzzled why the AV8B got such a feature in the Newsletter. Did I miss something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unlikely_spider Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 I also don't understand what Harrier is doing in the newsletter. :dunno: Maybe sales numbers are low Modules: Wright Flyer, Spruce Goose, Voyager 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tugais Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Or perhaps this is related to something Ron said in the interview he gave to the Air Combat Sim Podcast a few days ago. He mentioned that they secured a deal for the Harrier very similar to the one they made with the French Armée de l'Air, perhaps something bigger is in the works. Pure speculation from my part. 3rd Wing | 55th Black Alligators * BA-33 Εις ανηρ ουδεις ανηρ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conroy Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 From the newsletter... Does that mean there are now Spanish / Italian paintschemes? ..maybe "Plus" is coming for Spain and Italy (AIM120). Strange "news" about AV8B, we all agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vctpil Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I hope they solve the FM model bug, the aircraft is not rolling around its longitudinal axis and it is not flyable with crosswind. Without this bug, it would be probably the best module to fly.

Blinde Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Maybe they added that Harrier piece in newsletter because Razbam is apparently doing Falklands map and Harrier was used in there so... :detective: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLTeo Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 The AV/8B was not used in the Falklands. Looking through recent newsletters, they don't seem to do random module spotlights for individual modules. The only exceptions are to give specific development updates, or if they are announced or released. My guess is they are just going to use newsletters as advertisement.

unknown Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Hopefully is the Syria map VR optimized and not like the Channel map. Thanks :D What do you expect? It's been out since just a few days. Lets talk about VR performance once it's fully released. Valid question from boedha68 imho. I don't own the new channel map and i will not buy it(i own the normandy map) but what you could read after EA release it's not very performant in VR. Quote newsletter: ...This week our third-party partner Ugra Media announces DCS: Syria as a new addition coming soon to DCS World. This will be one of the most complex and asset-rich terrains available and is the first third party module to be written using our updated code base.... Considering the poor performance of the channel map(VR) - ED themself building that map - and the highlighted part of the newsletter....i don't think the Syria map will be very performant (VR) for a long time. :sad: But i hope i'm wrong on that part because i'm very interested in that map.

Blinde Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 The AV/8B was not used in the Falklands. Yeah, I didn't said AV/8B was used :rolleyes: Sea Harrier was. And something related to Falkland War is coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gierasimov Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Interesting concept The AV/8B was not used in the Falklands. Looking through recent newsletters, they don't seem to do random module spotlights for individual modules. The only exceptions are to give specific development updates, or if they are announced or released. My guess is they are just going to use newsletters as advertisement. Maybe just to make newsletter a little bit longer. One thing that bothers me with weekly newsletter is that most of the important items such as current matters, leaks, mini updates and interesting comments are covered via various social media comments, buried in this forum or gathered from discord and reddit throughout the week, then Friday news is talking about the fact there was an update that week or that the Harrier is a DCS module. Newsletter content quality seems to be less these days, or maybe the intended audience has changed. It used to be something I was very much looking forward to every week, but now, often it feels that it wasn't worth the wait.

Ah I'm prepared 1TB of m.2 at 3500 read / 2500 write, but soon I guess that will be obsolete ;D Anyways, hoping for those 2 maps soon! Nice work!
