It’s that time of year again friends…We are closing in on The end of 2022.And soon DCS will launch The “New Year and Beyond “ Video showcasing their plans for new projects.
Let’s see how many of you “Vega$ Card Sharks and Prognosticators can guess or come close to guessing what DCS has planned for us on the subject of unannounced projects??

There’s going to be Bomber Eagles (Beagles) and OG Rhino’s and multicore galore! I also wouldn’t be at all surprised if we see a certain all seeing eye of sauron helicopter flitting about.

Had completely forgotten about that tradition …there are some good modules in the pipeline …
Hercules
Skyraider
Phantom
I may have missed some
Them we have the maps
Australia (sorry @Harry_Bumcrack ) not really looking forward to this like the expanded channel and the Sinai maps
Then we have the core updates like the dynamic campaign and the vulkan and multi core
All in all a good year to look forward to

Yup. Used to be a prison colony, so that figures 
I’m loving it all and I’ll happily buy an extra 2TB M2 storage to be able to lay a stick of snakeeyes all over Harries’ ranch.

Lol… the villain was a wonderful auto correct because my iPhone is dumb and didn’t know Vulkan …

No offence taken. I wasn’t going to be getting it either. New Channel map and Kola for sure, dunno about the rest that I don’t have or haven’t been released yet - Syria, Sinai and South Atlantic. Of those three South Atlantic would probably be my pick, but I will give it a while to ‘mature’ before I decide.

Some would say that certain States still are… but that is straying into the realms of politics so I won’t go there.
Oooh is there an F-111 module in the works

Dynamic campaign (preferably playable offline/singleplayer) and multi-core will be the big ticket items for me.

A big +1 from me. That is what i am most looking forward to.
As for a 2023 prediction. I don’t think we will see it next year, but at the very least an announcement about WWII Pacific, along with an assets pack (AI aircraft, ground and naval units).
And quite possibly (because of the Phantom and Spad) DCS Vietnam? It would also make the Mig-21 a ‘viable’ choice.

YES and coming from a Very Accomplished Flight Sim Scenery Creator in Orbx I’m very excited for Kola Peninsula aswell!!!
But indulge Me for a Minute…I’m going to ask my fellow “Old Salty Dogs” to Dig Deep and go back into that Magical Time when The Flight Simulation Craze was at it’s height in the late 90’s
How many times did this intro put a smile on Tour Face?
Do You Remember?? and Do You Remember Who was Very much involved with that project??
Yes!! It was our own MattBigDaddyWags!!!
Therefore…I Predict with the return of The Kola Peninsula, DCS will launch their New 2023 Flagship Aircraft as…
F/A-18F SuperHornet

For some reason, and I can’t for the life of me explain why, but I never played Janes F18. I spent many hours with Janes F15E though.

That is uncanny. I am exactly the same. The only reason I can think of is that when it was released is about the time that I started spending more time overseas in ‘exotic’ locations than I did at home?

@Phantom88 I like the way you think, but do they have enough ‘data’ to pull it off?
But I guess if a Typhoon/Eurofighter is in development then anything is possible?

If Jane’s Simulation pulled it off in 1998…Why Not Eagle Dynamics in 2023??

I vote for Hercules. Kola peninsula and carpal tunnel syndrome for me.

I wish for a competent ATC á la Falcon BMS which I think is just excellent.
Then ofc I hope for Multicore along with a whole slew of engine improvements.
Then it’s the Dynamic Campaign, and I soo much want to see a less idiotic and way more capable wingman AI that actually does what I tell it to do WITHOUT spending 6h in the mission editor.
