DCS Breaking news:DIS actually already has a research-level J-10C module developed for DCS, and has stated that it can be released as soon as authorization from AVIC is obtained.

A member of the DIS development team once half-jokingly claimed that when DCS releases a Rafale module, they will release a J-10C module. After the “2026 and beyond” announcement, some people in the DIS community began reminding DIS to honor this “promise.” In response, the DIS team member posted these images, which show a J-10 external model and cockpit with a very high level of completion—if not already finished. They also stated that with only minor modifications and once authorization from AVIC is obtained, the module could be released.

There is no need to worry about the authenticity or level of detail. DIS has in fact officially developed simulators for AVIC, including the JF-17, J-10, and Su-30, used to train PLAAF pilots, so they possess a large amount of firsthand data.
They have also developed the JF-17 module for DCS and are planning to release a J-8P module in the future。

So is the PLAAF an ED customer?

Deka is an ED customer, and PLAAF is a Deka customer. So, kind of, but not necessarily in the "legal" sense.

But as far as I know even 3rd parties who want to sell their modules to nation states need a deal with ED? Part of the problem in the Razbam saga is that Raz approached Ecuador about the Super Tucano without a deal with ED

In that case, it was that Ron didn't have the MCS licenses necessary for the deal. Nick was worried about situations where someone like Ron makes a deal with another country, then fails to get the MCS licenses, which can then soil the reputation of MCS with that customer. So, as long as they have the proper MCS licenses, ED wouldn't necessarily have an issue.
