If you were holding back on DCS World, this should make you rethink:
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.

Agreed - although we don't know how much has already been done. Not so long back they were saying that the single-engined WWII aircraft were actually fairly simple and quick to build. I think they may have meant relative to some of the complex modern DCS models.
Still, it does give optimism for the future. Just hope I'm in a fit state for long enough to enjoy it!
No, don't worry, Mike. I'm sure to be blabbering on for some time yet (unless a higher authority has other plans ).
I meant it more in the sense of manual dexterity (or mental 'agility', considering how many opiates I'm swallowing and infusing every day). I do suffer from a nasty illness (I'm one of those people you hear about being "at risk with underlying health problems" when a virus breaks out) although I often wonder if the medication that keeps me going might be what finally does me in!
