CH-47F open for preorders. Release date has been revealed too. June 26, 2024.

As much as I would love to get this classic aircraft eventually. I have a tonne to go through in my collection. I have the F15E and am also going to wait and see what is going on with development on that front.

DCS is too big to fail :) pretty much the only sim I play. Although I also occasionally get the itch to buy microsofts latest flight sim. Is microsoft releasing a sequel to that already?

While I'm not enamored with the game system particularly, the subject
matter is irresistible.  Instabuy.

I have the Western Desert WW2 game - not played it yet but curious about your doubts about the game system - anything in particular?

Well I've actually gone and re-installed Afrika Korps to re-learn the system with WAY fewer units involved than Hue.  I remember just clicking through seemingly pre-determined "battles" and turns.  Never felt like I had actual control of anything.  I'm going to redouble my efforts to learn the system because the Battle of Hue is MASSIVE, looks intriguing and could be really good.  If I can just figure things out.  I'd be interested in your opinion of AK if you put some time into it.

How much do you want to delve into the dcs editor? 

There's some dynamic based mission templates out there, you can download them on the dcs site.

 There's also the liberation campaign that works like a 3rd party app. 

The pretense campaign seems pretty good, the dev just announced he's quitting dcs though.

Thanks, its been a couple years since opening the editor but I was unaware of dynamic based ones.  Also tried liberation years back and just too much to setup and figure out to get it to run like I was expecting, I think at the time I tried it ww2 was just a thing with it so maybe it's all changed recently and it's much more straigh forward.
