9 minutes of music to my ears! Great update! I’m especially happy about the ww2 radio calls.

[@nibbler2281]

Your Huey campaign looks fantastic btw.

[@ReflectedSimulations]

@@nibbler2281 Thanks, I'll soon have some more WW2 stuff coming ;)

[@grifnizzle7197]

@@ReflectedSimulations Pretty sure you'd mentioned before that you'd be doing a Corsair campaign (please correct me if I'm wrong). Were you planning on doing that in the Marianas? Or Brit Corsairs in Europe? Or am I just on copium?

[@TacticalPascale]

It is

[@ReflectedSimulations]

@@grifnizzle7197 Yeah, Marianas, but we need so many Pacific assets before that can happen..

[@franklinhadick2866]

I know how hard this can be, watching The Chieftain and the British museum and what they have to go through to be historically accurate. I dont think allot of people realize that a bunch of this data is still in warehouses in boxes in print form.

[@Pricklyhedgehog72]

That prop animation at the end on the C-47 looked pretty sweet, along with the wing-wag. Nice to see some WWII updates gents!

[@baptisterime]

Some of them are long due but thanks a lot anyway. It's great to see that WWII core problems are worked on. Thanks a lot for the work! It's easy to see why the focus is on module moneywise but I feel DCS core improvement and bug fixing is really what will keep the game alive and enjoyable.

[@bronco5334]

I wonder how much of the sudden focus on WW2 was a "no, seriously, we're really working on WW2, trust us!" PR response to the preiminent WW2 server (Storm of War) very publicly shutting down in protest of the lack of progress

[@Jack-Tactical]

@@bronco5334 My guess is 0. SoW shutting down had very little effect if any on WW2. Most just went to 4YA.

[@NightOwl91]

Delay fuzes, ww2 FARPs, authentic radio calls, man this is awesome work that is going on!

[@stewmanji]

Fantastic to see updates like this coming to the game! Thanks for the communication!

[@joec4106]

Did that C47….just wing wave at me?!?!

[@flyingwiggy5815]

Great stuff Sunts and the team, thanks 👍👌

[@nibbler2281]

Great stuff, nice to have an update after some recent negativity towards WW2 DCS. I can now go exploring in me Dora!

[@dna8695]

I love DCS WWII, keep up the good work!

[@rudelchw]

Thanks a lot for this info, it’s been a while since your last video and I was missing them :)

[@MattWagner]

We keep him very busy :)

[@markusv311]

So great news, to see the progress of WWII stuff on DCS is just amazing and I can't get enough of it

[@supertopsecret5485]

Proud 300th LIKE - Big thanks to the entire ED+ DCS Teams for all the new upcoming modules/features/upgrades and fine tuning of existing parts of the game!!

[@NoBrainSilent]

Excellent work on the fuzing menu and options. This video is worth more than many newsletters but isn't advertised at all. Why is that ?

[@rwhunt99]

Thanks for the update, it was sorely needed and look forward to more great things coming our way!

[@DerOrso]

Excellent, excellent, outstanding... now if I could just remember how to startup the Mosquito

[@mactgnr]

Cheers buddy, looking forward to these changes to get a more authentic feel! I hope that more campaigns will also come out with these changes

[@TacticalPascale]

Great news!

[@bobbydigital51]

What you think of Jabbers Vid' r kid?

[@hanswolfgangmercer]

Every single one of these is incredible! I am particularly thrilled about the Dora engine fix and the bomb fusing

[@seancolvin8545]

What superb update. Thank you.

[@spitfire4sergi]

Hope the German homing system gets functionality some day and dare I say… rockets and wing cannons on the 109? Still good to see the updates!

[@fodderbuckly6981]

Nineline killing it! Nothing but good news from that dude.

[@wilbuzllf5057]

Great work guys and thanks for the update! The fuze section alone is very interesting! I finally a fix for the Dora! 😀

[@OttScott]

Wait, does that rearming truck have a Medic symbol? Oooo... Those sneaky Germans... :D

[@peenice]

This is brilliant news, and the Dora fix is just awesome.

[@Elysian_Angel_]

Very nice update: thank you!

[@bitboydcs9825]

Great video, excellent stuff in the works for the Warbirds, nice!

[@julianmorrisco]

Fantastic! Thanks for the update. I know it doesn’t affect flying so much but I’m really looking forward to the nation and time appropriate radio messages. The current ‘California 1990s’ voice does break my immersion a bit, or at least it did until I became mostly used to it. And the other changes sound great, sometimes I’m a little worried that WWII slips between the cracks, although my favourite modules are all pre 1970s stuff with a particular joy in the prop warbirds. Pre FBW and datalinks in general I suppose, not that I don’t enjoy my f16 and A10, just that the more basic stuff feels more like flying and less like trying to work out the programming interface on a Yamaha DX7.

[@davidsuris9318]

That's amazing thanks!

[@WW2Adinfinitum]

brilliant stuff!

[@igorkratka]

Fuzes are most appeciated! Thank you. Finally we will be able to do precision bombing of anything smaller than a cargo ship or long warehouse without risking blast damage or missing the target othervise. Our WW2 planes carry only 1-4 bombs, so make each one count.

[@ShadeAKAhayate]

Did Douglas just rock its wings? Is it a spoiler or I'm just being crazy? As for the development of the simulator inwards, both in terms of system complexity like proper bomb fuses or AI and new setups like the radar one demonstrated above, this is better than creating new modules.

[@GamjaField]

Please give some love for old birdies. For instance, navlight LOD is still missing for P-51D.

[@waltergreif4836]

Sounds epic!!

[@spitfirefrench]

The bomb fusing is my main hold from getting really into the mossie

[@BlueBaron3339]

It's good but what's notably missing is WHEN. Transparency is nice. But without at least a planned timetable, it feels like an attempt to purchase good will without paying for it. Players seem eager to advance credit in return for promises, however.

[@ColonelAkirNakesh]

The Marianas WW2 looks great!! I hope we have some Japanese WW2 assets in the works, I haven't torpedoed a ship since Dynamix's Aces of the Pacific!

[@bobbydigital51]

Are the trees still stuck and unable to be removed in the editor on the Channel?

[@sakratus]

None noticed the sharp cool graphics?! I smell Amd FSR support!

[@vasilisroukis1108]

Spotting, What about spotting?

[@DartzIRL]

I thought the 190D bug was a feature. There's an RPM where you're not supposed to run the engine.

[@British-Dragon-Simulations]

Great news! Although I was expecting some mention about the P-51 up-date in the video. Was the Ram Air bug fixed? Can anyone confirm? I'm someone that flies the K4 almost exclusively so I have no idea myself. This fix would make the P-51 even faster at 12K feet or above I believe?

[@jubuttib]

"I'll increase the power slightly" *two orders of magnitude*

[@ozanemredemir9392]

So most of the development time goes to acquiring historically correct data. It's like restoring history. I hope to see the day, when we'll play through full scale ww2 from start to a conclusion.

[@nakotaapache4674]

Would be nice when the propeller induces thrust puses the ground gras down.

[@marksage6462]

Keep up the good work boys!

[@TheWhoamaters]

Love watching the mosquito fly

[@fraggerron]

Any word on the F4u Corsair coming out or videos ??

[@IdahoBookworm]

Hellcat when? ;)

[@alexanderryan-jones600]

I wonder if this could work for the F-14. Would be great to be able to get air supply connected so we can cold start away from bases and boats.

[@andrewm3561]

Skip Bombing! Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!

[@after_midnight9592]

They got WWIII covered as well, lol.

[@chrismoeller4517]

Do you think we'll see any texture updates for the older warbirds to bring them up to par with the more recent releases. The Mustang was released nearly 10 years ago after all, and even the Spitfire looks pretty gnarly compared to everything after even though she handles like a dream.

[@johnmclean6498]

Try Reshade.Me app. It sharpens up the contrast and improves visuals a lot in DCS. Makes the Spit (and everything else) look much better. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3jbmHdvfLOJhNk&t

[@chrismoeller4517]

@@johnmclean6498 Thanks, I’ll check it out.

[@alphaquant2903]

Great News! I would also love to see the Spitfire getting 150 Octane fuel. Would really help chasing down these Germans and would make it more competitive.

[@tb100]

How do you call up the small mission editor map while you're still flying (02:56)?

[@mariushusejacobsen3221]

Video editing, by the looks of it. IOW not something you can do while playing.

[@Dupawpaski]

I kind of don't feel like playing DCS right now.

[@CakePrincessCelestia]

1:47 Proper comms when? ;) 3:52 OK, _two weeks by the power of soon(tm)_ ^^ - Please just don't make them yell as the competition did. That is utterly awful. (needless to say they don't even allow you to change the comms volume... :P) 5:01 I'm probably flying WWII too little to know: What is it actually? 7:39 You can bet on that! I hope this will also incorporate setting the burst height of Mk.20 or other CBUs (which basically is fusing as well and we've been waiting for that ever since) and other parameters that are relevant and have to be changed by ground crew like laser codes :) Great to see progress :)

[@HobelDcs]

Some poor bugger is gonna start up taxi and be ready to roll, only for some Mossies 30min time delay to go off just as he does!

something like that really existed back then, igniters were set for several hours.

Someone needs to cut that grass down.

[@krostouin]

Awesome ! I hope that WW2 AAA will eventually be nerfed too ;) Like adding some reaction time before opening fire. Or a dynamic accuracy value, which would increase every X seconds of line of sight. o7

[@crusader__aut7165]

Really nice updates but please, for the love of god, implement german voice lines. There is already a mod for it. It just kills the immersion immensly. And the Blitz should not have modern Flecktarn camo...

[@henryofskalitz2228]

Still wanted to hear the news about a certain plane called the Corsair involved in ww2

[@Jack-Tactical]

You’re asking the wrong people.

All rights so the map end still terrible. Update too all maps like FMS 2020

Kinda baad day for promotion...

[@colderwar]

Nice to see you are removing comments, so that's how it is, is it ?

[@colderwar]

@@flyingwiggy5815 The KZbin algorithm is there, but it seems only to be triggered by certain flavours of political speech and swearing, not mild sarcasm aimed towards a software company. My comments got resurrected from beyond the grave, by ED necromancy, likely to give the impression I was lying about the deletion or just stupid. I'd got a suspicion they were censoring some commenters so I checked using another KZbin account to be certain. The comment mentioning J@bbers is no longer here either - at the time of me writing this, anyway. Anyway, now I know, so I've unsubbed

[@D31TCJG]

No one’s going to mention the fact they are using Office 2007 in 2022……

[@rudelchw]

So what? I still use Office 2010, so many advantages: its license never expires, it’s much quicker on its file management, it doesnt download updates at inoportune times, uses less disk space, and its tasks functions are much better than on newer versions. Not always latest is synonymous with better.

[@CakePrincessCelestia]

Why not... I'd still be on 2010 if MS didn't install nasty nag screens, but I still have 2007 on another rig and that doesn't disturb me :D Technical improvements since 2007? None-existant.
