We have some news about Razbam's Mig-19 and Heatblur's F-14.
The Mig-19 release was meant for this month however there has been a delay. ED and Razbam have come across some minor bugs in the Mig-19's flight model so they've held back the release until those are sorted out.
Razbam has been releasing a number of videos about the Mig-19 so if you'd like to see them take a look at their YouTube channel.
Now, on to the F-14. Heatblur is coming closer to having the B version done. They just released the manual so we can now take a look at where the switches and gauges are at, learn the startup procedures and learn how to get the weapons systems working. This is going to be a difficult module to learn, but, it'll also be a lot of fun.
Take a look at the manual, get yourself prepared, and I'll see you in the sky.

DCS: Pre-Order Your F-14 Now!!!
This is it! As of 2:15am Beijing/Manila time the F-14 is open for pre-ordering. I just ordered mine and I'm very excited for it to be released. The cost for pre-order is $69.99 USD. The full price is $79.99 USD so I'd get on to the ED Store or Heatblur's store right now and get that $10 off.
If you go to Heatblur's store you'll have 3 options. You can get one copy of the F-14 for the same $69.99 discount they have at the ED Store, You can get a 2 pack bundle so you can share it with a friend or family member for $129.99 USD right now (full price is $159.98 USD), or you can pick up the single copy of the module along with a special T-shirt for $89.99 USD (full price is $109.98 USD).
With this module you don't just get 1 aircraft with features missing. You'll receive the F-14B fully completed right on release. After that you'll get the F-14A after it's developed enough to be considered Early Access acceptable. You'll also receive a soundtrack with the module downloaded right into the F-14 file in your DCS folder. Personally, I don't care about the soundtrack. I more interested in the aircraft itself.
It's a good day today. And the day of release will be even better. I'd expect a long wait while downloading though. There's going to be a lot of people trying to download it right when it's available and it will likely eat up the bandwidth available.
For those who missed the reveal, here's the video:
I hope this makes all of your days bright.
See you in the skies.

DCS: Heatblur Update
There hasn't been much news coming from Eagle Dynamics lately. Oh, they've updated the Hornet a bit and the WWII Asset Pack. But nothing has been said at all about the new planes we're all waiting for.
That is, until just today. Heatblur has posted a video on YouTube just a little bit ago. You can watch it here:
Now, from what I can gather they seem to be creating an AI version of the A-6 and hoping that ED will allow them to create a full fidelity module of it. Also, they seem to have something planned for the F-14 on October 7th at 8pm Central European time (that's around 3pm for those of us in the Beijing, Manila, Hong Kong time zone). Are they going to release the F-14 on that day? I highly doubt it. Honestly, it's looking more and more like we won't see it until sometime in December. That's pretty bad considering they were promising it by December last year. But, maybe we'll get some kind of answer as to what is going on and when they will finally release it.
Personally, I'm getting bored just flying the same planes over and over waiting for the F-14, F-4, JF-17, Mig-19, and Mig-23. But, waiting is all any of us can do. Hopefully the wait will be worth it.
At any rate, enjoy the video and we'll see what happens next month.

If you're good at making videos for YouTube or in general and you have experience making DCS videos then why not give it a try?
With this post from Heatblur I'm going to say we'll see the pre-order of the F-14 in August or maybe September (pushing back my original thoughts of July or August). At least we know we're getting closer.
On a side note, ED just announced that they will finally be implementing the AIM-120 and AIM-9X for the F/A-18C module. The F-18 is getting closer and closer to being feature complete and with this next update I'll have everything I need to truly enjoy the module.
That's it for today.
For those who apply to Heatblur: good luck. For the rest of us: happy flying.

DCS World Modules
This week I'll be telling you about the different modules available in DCS World.
Modules are any add-on content (commonly refereed to as DLC's or DownLoadable Content) that are made officially by Eagle Dynamics or their 3rd party affiliates. Currently there are eight (8) 3rd parties creating modules along side Eagle Dynamics. I'll list them below with the modules they have created and what is currently announced. Any modules that have Early Access next to them means that they are released but are still in development so expect a lot of changes to them until they reach release status.
Eagle Dynamics (ED):

I'll end this post by listing the modules that I personally have and next time I talk about DCS I'll go into which plane is easiest to fly and which has the steepest learning curve. 😉 Until then, happy flying.
