Well, I waited until I saw some kind of confirmation form Eagle Dynamics and I got it just last night. VEAO is effectively out of DCS and the T.1A Hawk is now unsupported per their last update. So, if you bought the T.1A (like I did a few years back) then we have been left with a plane we will not be able to use in the near future.
This is especially bad news for those who pre-purchased the P-40 straight from VEAO and did not take advantage of the refund they offered a while back. Unfortunately, those people will not be seeing their money back. ED can't do anything about it as it was not pre-ordered on their store. I had considered buying the P-40 but I refuse to buy it through their store for just this reason. VEAO's dissolution just reinforces my view that I will only buy modules straight from ED (or Steam).
On another note: the release of the F-14 has effectively been pushed back to sometime between January and March. Heatblur stated it was due to them needing to work on several of the F-14's systems before they feel comfortable releasing it to the public. I can certainly understand this and appreciate their desire to have a near-complete module released... but, I'm a tab bit disappointed that the release has been pushed back. Originally Heatblur announced it would be released in December 2017. Now we're looking at late March 2019 at the latest. I'm sure once the F-14 is released it'll be the best module out there. But I am disappointed that the release date has been pushed back for over a year.
Well, that's all the bad news I have for you. On the positive side the F/A-18C has gotten it's Maverick's and GBU laser guided bombs. The WWII planes have also gotten an update to their cockpits and external models. Once my game finishes updating I look forward to trying my favorite Fw-190 D-9.
Sorry, for all the bad news this time. I look forward to when the F-14 will be released and make these lemons into lemonade.
Until next time, happy flying.
