What about all the people who bought the aircraft and can't fly it with updates ?

"Attention! Starting DCS World version 2.5.4 this module will be unavailable! Please use DCS World version 2.5.3 or below!"

Dear VEAO Customers,
We regret to inform you that we are ceasing development of all DCS modules effective immediately. This was a very difficult decision to make - our aim was always to provide high quality content and support for the DCS platform, however due to reasons beyond our control, continuing to partner with Eagle Dynamics is no longer a viable option for us.
We want to thank all of you who supported us and our products and we apologise for any disappointment this announcement may have caused. We are so lucky to have been a part of this amazing community for the past thirteen plus years, and are very sorry that our time as a business has come to an end.
Thank you once again,
Chris, Pete + VEAO team

I'm sure this will get resolved, no way is anyone keeping an old version of Dcs to fly that hawk.  I don't see how having it continue in an incomplete state with latest version of DCS is harmful other than there's a licensing pissing match gong on somewhere.  I smell a class action suit coming around the corner for VEAO or dcs.

The developer of the Hawk, VEAO Simulations, has gone out of business and cannot continue to support the module.

They can sell it to some other studio to continue supporting it. No one wants to pick it up?

Wow, I never thought that would be possible that aircraft would be removed....I could understand not further updating, but removing, yikes....will make me think about future purchases for sure.

There are a lot of technical problems with this aircraft. I'm assuming it's uncorrectable without scraping much of the code.

This is what happens when the base game keeps changing.

So the WWII stuff is pretty deeply discounted...is it worth it?

lol - I was thinking the exact same thing!!

[Jarhead0331]

Meh...I did it. For $30 I got the Normandy map and the WWII assets. I figure at that price, the map alone is worth it...and, well...I also got the Fw190...What!?! I needed something to shoot down B-17s with.  :-[

[Grim.Reaper]

Although not interested in the WWII planes and such, was thinking of picking up the map....just not sure how strange that would be flying modern jets over it.

You don't have to - you have the P-51 don't you?

Also, can you fly modern jets in it? With B-17s etc? That would be pretty cool

(I have a sneaking suspicion I might have asked that before)

[mbar]

Yep you get a P-51 trainer for free in DCS World.

[Grim.Reaper]

I may have that aircraft, never noticed:)  Regardless, I am mostly interested in maps that would support flying the modern jets since that is what most interested right now.

There is nothing stopping you from screaming overhead Normandy with modern jets afaik.
