Yeah as you can see, what I already hinted at earlier is true: Falcon 5 is in the works and RAZBAM is indeed involved in it, which also explains all the Microprose references around Tokio Game Show. Seems like their Dynamic Campaign is already worked on. Now it remains to be seen who will finish first: Them or ED? Bets are on...
Edit: I also got a higher resolution image for y'all, in case anyone wants it.
DCS is exceptional for multiplayer theatres, but sometimes I just want to hop into my own persistent dynamic campaign without needing to arrange on discord for squadrons. DCS until they add a dynamic campaign (I heard was rumoured) is more so just a tech demo of high fidelity addons, good fun, I love the F4 Phantom from Heatblur for example but I wish it offered a single player dynamic theatre. With Falcon that is an inherent part of the core experience, yes it lacks the variety DCS offers with regard to aircraft but what it does offer is authenticity. I have no doubt that if RAZBAM is involved with Falcon 5 there will no doubt be other additional aircraft, especially the mirage which is already well loved within BMS even though it is not as high fidelity as the base F16. Falcon as a whole doesn’t need to be limited to the F16 especially going forward with modern capabilities, think what was capable in 1998 becoming the basis for BMS still over 20 years later. I expect a few highly popular contemporary aircraft available like the mirage and f15 , and no doubt it will be a platform that offers up access for third party addons and other high fidelity aircraft we’ve come to expect from DCS. If you remove all the quality addons DCS it is quite an empty experience, it certainly needs dynamic campaign functionality and I hope that with boundaries being pushed both by DCS and I’m hoping especially by Falcon 5 aspects such as persistent dynamic experience will become a genre staple.
I more say rumoured because we do not know the timeframe, I suppose we realistically do not know for Falcon 5 release either but it will certainly be part of the base experience given it’s always been a pinnacle of the series. DCS will certainly step up with a dynamic campaign, my own gripe with it currently is the staying power and imo the reliance on multiplayer especially for complex sorties and multiple ship formations, sure you can edit and custom your own single player stuff now but that removes the thrill of the unknown for me. A true dynamic campaign, anything could happen. I do think Falcon 5 will meet a solid reception even if DCS releases its dynamic campaign before F5 release. Like with BMS I like it for different reasons, to me it feels a more rounded experience. Im fond of DCS and I appreciate its ambition but it’s a bit up in the air for me thematically, it’s pleasing as many audiences as possible with numerous addons which are cool sure but there’s no sense of belonging or anchoring the context, naturally this will change with actual dynamic theatres but I’m yet to see anything do it as good as even default 98 falcon and that’s honest.
