@@Lucifer-qt9gh That's why he needs to go official! Unofficial mods have a weird tendency to break DCS (especially complex, trigger-laden campaigns like Reflected's work) in the least expected ways. If Currenthill's assets were to become official like Massun's, they wouldn't be ruined after DCS updates, and vice versa, the assets wouldn't ruin DCS. I haven't the slightest clue what makes some assets official, what are the criterias. I'm as dumb as a bag of rocks when it comes to programming. But I believe it is possible, so I'm hoping.
Great update Andrei (and Petrovich … and Natasha)! You are right: it is indeed a very exciting time to be a DCS simmer: the Phantom, the Kiowa and in the not too distant future: the Chinook!! 😅 Good times for sure.
Got the update and F-4 yesterday (5-22), and am looking forward to the intense learning curve, makes my days interesting. Keep up the great work, and Thank You form Las Vegas.
Thanks for this update! I've been so busy flying the Phantom and adding Massun 92's assets to missions that I hadn't paid much attention to the rest of the elements from the update. Your presentation makes me realise that there are quite a few things I'll have to check in the coming weeks! It is also much more dynamic than reading the changelog. Big thumbs up for that! 😎👍
I rolled and crashed my phantom before ever getting it in the air... and I loved every moment of it! (Pro Tip: make sure your throttle is not inverted)
A workaround for the Jester UI problem in VR is to increase the screen resolution in general settings, and enable "use DCS resolution" under VR tab. Apparently, the 2D "window overlay" is static and low-resolution will make the UI too large to fit into that window overlay. ED needs to make that window adaptive. At least that's my understanding. 🤷♂
Great summary Andrei. Do we have to watch for Orcas when we bail out over the water in the south Atlantic now? I like the American flag in the hanger :-) So you broke the landing gear? Not so important until you come back. That Petrovich gets around, lol.
Congrats to Massun fo sho!! I genuinely wish ED had the forethought to do the same with Ciribob and the SRS program. Seems like it would be a slam dunk for ED and the manpower they allot to their VOIP could be spent somewhere useful.
Huh interesting I flew the phantom for like 10 hours yesterday, single and multi-crew in vr and didn't really find any bugs. The only thing i saw was the jester menu is a little funky at the moment
It's finally here! I'm rly enjoying its cockpit, voices, skins and overall external look. It's a lot of fun to join all that ppl sitting on parking for hours and trying to handle, to finally crash at take off attempt xD Btw, did you know it can take up to 24 Mk82 bombs? Module surely worth waiting, I recommend to anyone who haven't purhased yet and as far as i know you can still buy it for lowered pre-order price. Cu in the air!
Got to play the f4 phantom a little yesterday with a wso. So far have engaged in a couple fights, none of them fair but equally fun. Have 2 mig 23s, 1 f5, 1 SU33, and claim a moral kill on a f18 stolen from my gunsight by an f16s 120. Out of those engagements only been shot down twice. F18 had f14b kill me, and there was another SU33 I could not lose to save my soul that got me with guns after running out of missiles. It is a very harsh learning process and my poor wso was cussing up a storm when I visually marked people and he couldn't see them on radar XD.
I don't know what ED did with the new update, but I'm now getting significantly higher FPS with the Pimax Crystal on Mobettameta dogfight server. It's a 10-20 FPS boost with a steady 90 FPS now.
My experience with the F-4 is system crashes and small bugs like start-up, i.e. where is the helmet? I see a new patch in the near future to fix most of them. This module is not ready for primetime, sorry.
I played for about 30 min doing some low level stuff in sp... Jester got scared and promptly ejected as we traversed a crest from one valley to the next. Chicken left me all alone in that big blue sky lol
Im already in love with this beauty uf an f4... Also i am already exited for the next modules, especially for the CH-47 and the koiwa❤💛💙 almost stressful greetings from Germany
New pilot model in the viper looks great. Badgers new campaign is filling in some time, although i thought baltics f16 gamblers campaign was going to drop in may, maybe he didnt wana compete with the f4?
I’m glad to see the SA map is getting some love. I haven’t had time to try it again, but can anyone confirm if the performance has improved noticeably?
I spent whole two hours on F-4E yesterday and in that time I only managed to learn to start up, take off and land. I have to say, I though F-15E was complex but F-4E takes that cake and eats it.
I was really hoping heatblur would have better optimized the Phantom for VR out the gate considering how much time they took. It is far worse than the F-14 was when I still had a 1080ti and I'm currently running a 3080 with 64 gigs of 3600 ram...
Thanks Andrei! It was a great experience and I´m sure that the community will make stunning things with the assets - great video as usual!
Good for Massun! Next to hire should be Currenthill. His assets would be most useful for official campaigns set in the Kola map.
I second this one
Currenthill assets are great! Integrating stuff like this puts it in the hands of far more people than just those of us who use mods.
Except this update ruined all his work.

Thanks for the video - No video without "In the future" :D
I remember when your channel had only 7k subs
Congrats on getting this far
💯
Thanks Andrei. looking forward to your F4 review and how it is optimised compared to other modules
Hey Andrei, thank you for using the photo on thumbnail. Glad that you enjoyed this one
Awesome video with informations again
Its a great shot, depicting an EA Phantastic F4E
To the modder of the assetpack: you've earned it, man! thank you for your work =)
Great update Andrei (and Petrovich … and Natasha)! You are right: it is indeed a very exciting time to be a DCS simmer: the Phantom, the Kiowa and in the not too distant future: the Chinook!! 😅 Good times for sure.
I see why Heatblur was scared to give you a module for preview, you actually find issues and report them! Damn
Thanks but please understand they are not required to send a module for preview to us. Its up to the developer and their plan for promotion.
Got the update and F-4 yesterday (5-22), and am looking forward to the intense learning curve, makes my days interesting. Keep up the great work, and Thank You form Las Vegas.
I am absolutely in love with the Phantom.... what an epic experience it is flying her!

Great content as always and I am especially excited to have the F16 pilot available now.

New update is amazing, and I LOVE F-4, congratz to all devs!!!

Flying the Phantom it really feels like a heavy fighter
Great update! Thanks for the video!
Great video, there is so many modules coming out, this is amazing. The F-4 is definitely pushing dcs to a new standard.
Amazing Chanel! Always excited to see a new episode is out. Keep up the good work!
The asset pack is awesome, great work from the creators!

No the Razbam update I was hopping for... but any update is a good update...
I'm glad the SA map isn't tied to Razbam so it can continue improving - it's really maturing. Loving the F-4, she's a beast.
Great summary for the dcs update. F-4 looks stunning. Also asset pack is very good. Like to populate airfields.
I have to say straight after the update I went and looked at the hornet pilot model and oh my it’s beautiful.
I'm excited to see missions get updated with the new assets
Huh interesting I flew the phantom for like 10 hours yesterday, single and multi-crew in vr and didn't really find any bugs. The only thing i saw was the jester menu is a little funky at the moment
Curious, I didn't see anything about the f-16 pilot body on the changelog in dcs...! Glad to know they finally did it.
Another great video Andrei.
Some good adds in the DCS update. 😊
What is the view function called that lets you move the camera to look around objects in the cockpit?
its called: A selfie :)
woot... another fine update... sad there was no Super Cap update tho....
Sitting in my rig awaiting updates to download...I look forward to driving my Falcon.. "In the future" 36 min to be exact.
Great update as always.

i woke up... i saw the two week for the kiowa... i jumped out of bed... i got on computer and watched it... and then went back to sleep, great story
Always love your updates!
Another great video, thanks for the update.
Phantom looks so good, I’m getting tempted to
Get it, it's the best made module in this sim.
@@adaml6757 lacking the money atm lol but maybe sometime in the future…
great video as always hope the razbam issue gets resoleved so we can fight the phantom in mig-23 would be a dream
Fuze and laser code changes also seem to apply to the Mirage F1, not just newer airframes :)
The harrier's got them too, but on when the bombs are on a TERs
They even modeled the black exhaust..
Got to play the f4 phantom a little yesterday with a wso. So far have engaged in a couple fights, none of them fair but equally fun. Have 2 mig 23s, 1 f5, 1 SU33, and claim a moral kill on a f18 stolen from my gunsight by an f16s 120. Out of those engagements only been shot down twice. F18 had f14b kill me, and there was another SU33 I could not lose to save my soul that got me with guns after running out of missiles.

So much new stuff for the f16!!!
Amazing video as always!!
Cant wait to fly the Phantom. Just clocked out from work. I have a date with the F4 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Installed the 35 GB patch. No Phantom Phor me, but quite Phrustrated by the Phuzes!!
I don't know what ED did with the new update, but I'm now getting significantly higher FPS with the Pimax Crystal on Mobettameta dogfight server. It's a 10-20 FPS boost with a steady 90 FPS now.
I can't wait to try out the phantom, I haven't had the time yet
Really torn between picking up the Phantom or alternatively holding fire for the Kiowa...
Exciting news!
That asset pack is what i have been hoping for 😄
My experience with the F-4 is system crashes and small bugs like start-up, i.e. where is the helmet? I see a new patch in the near future to fix most of them. This module is not ready for primetime, sorry.
Scuttlebutt is map team is separate from the rest of RB so it's not impossible that they keep working despite RB-ED issue not being solved yet
I played for about 30 min doing some low level stuff in sp... Jester got scared and promptly ejected as we traversed a crest from one valley to the next. Chicken left me all alone in that big blue sky lol
Thanks for the Kiowa update news
Now that the Phabulous Phantom is out, when are we going to get the Su-22 Fitter?
Hello The F4 E is here now we must learn to fly it. Kiowa in 2 week lol
Glad to hear south atlantic got a performance update
Good to see some new assets and here's hoping ED and Razbam sort their differences
The Kola map is gonna be great with the Kiowa Warrior!
the F4 is so nice .
Didn't get the phantom, might get the kiowa though
Loving the new HB F-4E Phantom II module
Wish it was just as easy for other devs to pick up on Razbam aircraft as well as Orbx picked up the South Atlantic, if they indeed did.
Im already in love with this beauty uf an f4... Also i am already exited for the next modules, especially for the CH-47 and the koiwa❤💛💙 almost stressful
greetings from Germany
Ron Zambrano said that aircraft module work was suspended. South Atlantic is a terrain.
New pilot model in the viper looks great. Badgers new campaign is filling in some time, although i thought baltics f16 gamblers campaign was going to drop in may, maybe he didnt wana compete with the f4?
Hopefully razbam will soon work on the mig 23 again
I'm finishing up Lore for my fictional country F4's :∆ for future projects.
How do you get the I cockpit view of pilot?
I personaly have a trim issue with the F4. 😢 But I think it has to do with the FFB setting. I‘ll try the fix when I‘m home.
new toys are coming for everyone!
I’m glad to see the SA map is getting some love. I haven’t had time to try it again, but can anyone confirm if the performance has improved noticeably?
Seems a bit smoother in VR, but i still got the frame rate drop when decending under 900ft agl
The phantom is amazing even with a few bugs with the jester menu
very nice the Phantom, but I think is not the best of Heatblur modules
Another awesome video!
Love the updates.
First 60 sec Steam module purchase ever... while watching the show live on HIP Discord. :)
Oh man the massun and the f-16 pilot model and the f-4, it’s like a early Christmas 😂
the "two weeks tm" hint from polychop simulations is a fun statment, but who knows how many weeks 2 weeks really mean, lol...
Ahhhhh the Phantom what a bird to fly well done HB
It's a douzie! I'm definitely looking forward to the Kiowa... IN THE FUTURRRE!!
Phantom rocks!
More Redford, we need more.
Hope that rasbam is back on the track, their modules are amazing
looks good waiting for the eurofighter
I spent whole two hours on F-4E yesterday and in that time I only managed to learn to start up, take off and land. I have to say, I though F-15E was complex but F-4E takes that cake and eats it.
I want this so bad, however to po to afford it currently. Damn so many things I want in this game!
I'd love to be ripping around "The Stan" in my Phantom!
Big fan of the new bomb fusing menus for modern bombs
Thanks Andrei, Your videos contain more DCS content in under 10 minutes than most 1 hour ramblings. Was that a killer whale I saw?
Need to look at my AH64 in my virtual hangar again
F16 pilot model looking good
I was really hoping heatblur would have better optimized the Phantom for VR out the gate considering how much time they took. It is far worse than the F-14 was when I still had a 1080ti and I'm currently running a 3080 with 64 gigs of 3600 ram...
Mirage F1 got engine damage update, engine over speed protection removal as well! ;)
Sweet! DCS rocks!!
DCS updates, but the best updates come from HIP
