Another sale going on. Only on the web shop, so not usable for Steam 
Still, all modules, including the new Hawk are at least 50% off!

Hey Guys,
We thought it would be good for you to know our development roadmap.

DISCLAIMER:
The list is not final and will be changed at any time depending on contracts, agreements, discussions, etc. but this is our current roadmap.
The dates shown are indicative and not final!!

As Wags says, everything is subject to change...

For the packs, we will be doing certain discounts for number of aircraft bought, etc. and this is still being discussed and details will be revealed closer to sale time.

We are currently having discussions with aircraft manufacturers, owners of aircraft and collectors so some things may be included in packs and collections may not yet be shown on here but I'll update the list as and when we have agreements.

We will keep this list as up to date as possible as things develop and contracts are agreed.

We have multiple teams working on different projects, so the old "finish one before you start another" is not relevant. We will not overstretch the teams or the business!!

The * next to the aircraft indicates that we are in contract with ED for those.

We hope you like the selection of aircraft and maps and look forward to a great future in DCS with you!!

Cheers,
Chris.

All aircraft will be developed with full ASM and EFM to PFM standards (PFM where we can get them to that level).

Assuming all of the above is coupled with a decent MP this could be a complete game-changer for the whole genre. A serious alternative.

Both a Messerschmitt Me109T and a Bf109E-4?
Sehr gut.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm yes.

And minus shared cockpits.
Anyway, I'm really looking forward to christmas this year, for the girst time in a long time!

AFAIK no aircraft have anything ready to go for multi-seat functionality anyway. Huey and Mi-8 might be the first, if that 3rd party dev is capable of finishing anything. They may be putting off multi-seat until their first in-house module that would support it is complete.

 

[Leifr Eiríksson]

Hawke Typhoon? I'm in!!!

 

[Úlfheðinn]

With BoS being a complete wash, perhaps our hopes now rest with DCS? 

 

[Wellenbrecher]

They pretty much do, yeah.
But really, until we know realistic capabilities of servers with and without active AI and ground vehicles and all those WW2 birds are actually out, it could be anything.

 

[Úlfheðinn]

Yep, the planes obviously look great so far and DCS games have always been nice to fly in, but it there isn't a good number of players support on servers or AI/Ground Vehicles is lacking,  it will be a rather empty, boring experience.

I'm hoping though that seeing how **** BoS is, might motivate the devs.

 

[Wellenbrecher]

Yeah, but again, seeing how DCS so far has been -> "a "study" sim where mission makers had to obey very strict rules and online play was severely limited by engine limiations"
We have a duty to remain critical of promises. Especially in the light of how BoS turned out.


Because, honestly, I don't think the genre would survive another year of the continued disaster that is the CloD->BoS->Death saga.
No matter that TF exists or not, who have their very own notions of unjustified hubris and arrogance.

 

[Úlfheðinn]

Pretty much, it's time to ask for results and evidence, not marketing.

 

[Wellenbrecher]

I want, no! I NEED this to be was it was promised.
Like... when a company says "we'll do XYZ" I expect "ABC" where B and C are DLC. This is quite literally the last hope I have for this favourite hobby of mine

 

[Úlfheðinn]

Yeah, honestly, devs just need to learn to promise much, much less and then deliver.

 

[Wellenbrecher]

IT HURTS ULF. WHY DOES IT HURTS SO MUCH AFTER ALL THESE YEARS OF BETRAYAL AND BEING SPIT ON, ULF? WHY?
You#re the ****ing psychologist!

 

[Úlfheðinn]

You#re the ****ing psychologist!

It's obviously because the developers are transferring the anger they feel towards their fathers onto us, the consumers.

 

[Captured Joe]

Come on, we still have 1946!

 

[Orion]

1946 is starting to feel like it was made in 1946. Want new, want shiny, want content.
