Nothing to say about the Phantom. April came and went blazing fast and I am sure Heatblur felt it as well. They probably feel immense pressure to get it out before summer begins so they can avoid a second delay. Meanwhile, I am more hopeful about the radar part 2 video from Heatblur, It has been 4 weeks since part 1, hehe. EDIT: One of the comments that did not age well.

DCS needs to have streaming of terrain data on demand instead of filling whole hdd

[@patriciomassun]

taking in mind that sdd storage is cheap this days.. and not the enterelly world have super download speed... I prefer big maps and not streaming terrain data

[@CakePrincessCelestia]

@@patriciomassun True. I never really had storage issues for DCS maps, even if the drive it's installed on wasn't sufficient. And I'm literally running into this again just right now with the Kola map. I don't have it installed yet and only 130 "jigabytes" left. The trick is to use so called "junctions" to move parts of the installation (typically the map data) to another drive in a way the system and the sim still can find them. For that, open up a cmd window in E:\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\terrains - (using my folder structure, I installed my DCS to E:\DCS World Open Beta) and just move the map folders that are too much somewhere else, to let's say F:\DCS Terrains. I typically do that with the ones I don't fly a lot - a habit that I used to develop when my other drive still was a HDD. Let's say I moved Normandy over there. Now for DCS to still find it, type this into the cmd folder that you opened up in the Mods\terrain folder: mklink /j Normandy "F:\DCS Terrains\Normandy". Repeat with each folder you moved and you're looking at free space for updates and new maps again - that way you wouldn't have to move your entire installation, clone your stuff to a bigger drive or anything like that, just add another SSD and drop the stuff on that like this. As long as it's a decent SSD that is capable of hitting the 500MB/s read speeds that theoretically most SATA SSDs should be able to, it's good enough. Also, this can be done with the tool "Link Shell Extension".

[@imellor711]

Thx for the update, as I was wondering what happened to the F4E yesterday. Lol, regard HB Phantom, isn't this just more trials and tribulations of being a DCS module owner. It's a sim which I love to play and ever since v2.9 have never regretted owning. But ES's DCS is always impacted with issues and doesn't have the 3rd party support from Devs as other games ans sims do devs, due to the coding complexity of each module. Its so detailed that a change to address a problem somewhere, can impacts something else., somewhere else's. Or so modules need changes in how the core code works, before they can release modules All adding delays in new Module launches, which are few and far between, as they are. As a user base we've just become acustomed and used to it.🤔 But as a Steam DCS player, I'm still looking forward to HB F4 release as well as ED CH-47 Chinook and they'll be ready, when their ready. ❤👍
