    Yeah, but you'd have to add them manually to the list afterwards. I'm just wondering if this is considered legal or they were only made for the standalone modules and are not considered FC3 content? Because, otherwise, I don't understand why they're not added to the FC3 module as well (as the other content is there, like e.g. module manuals).

    Yeah, I find the whole deal with the instant missions regarding FC3 and standalone modules quite weird. You don't get them with FC3, but even if you buy the separate module, the module won't be accessible so you won't have the missions still, unless you add them manually. I guess you'd have to buy old the standalone modules AND uninstall the FC3 module to be able to use them fully which kind of beats the purpose of FC3.

    Great, thanks for your efforts, I'll check it out. As I said, I wouldn't mind the magnetoresistive kit, but as I only need it for the throttle (for the tick I already got used Uber and FSSB R1 gimbals) and as this kit is not compatible with the original electronics, it won't work with Target.

    They can know via the provided radar cursor bullseye reference, I guess. https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3502158&postcount=5

    And a pretty limited capability carrier and its aircraft, at that. Plus, wasn't the primary mission in those Soviet times for this carrier to provide protection to their submarines from NATO ASW patrol airplanes? In that regard, the RWR perhaps wasn't a high priority, like e.g. it wasn't for the F-14's which were initially equipped with the same obsolete AN/APR-25's from the F-4's.

    There's plenty of AAA titles still offering a Collector's Edition as well. It would be really cool if HB would do something like that for a special module like the Tomcat surely is, with a luxurious printed operations manual, art book, soundtrack CD, a cloth map, patches, a kneepad quick guide, etc. E.g.

    It's odd that they didn't mention it in the reveal then. I guess they're not sure yet so didn't want to make any firm promises.

    Hmm, you're right. I have the same problem and now that I logged in and went to my profile, I can see a "DCS Black Shark serial number replace" option on the left which combines the BS1 and BS2 Upgrade keys into a new serial. Thanks.

    Yeah, I noticed that it wasn't mentioned as well so IMHO it's pretty safe to assume that it probably won't make it for the EA. ED's carrier will do just fine for the EA, I guess.
  10. Dudikoff
    Yeah, but still, it would be nice if ED would make some provision for this.

    Hopefully that will include the animated waypoint switches similar to how Su-25 was updated with them.

    It's listed in the first post as one of the features: "A functional simulation of the LANTIRN designator pod, allowing the RIO to guide laser guided munitions dropped by the pilot or other aircraft (buddy-lasing)." They announced way back that the A will be a mid 80's fit, while the B will be some early 90's fit (well, I guess it will be more like mid since they'll include some rudimentary LTS pod support through the TID).

    Guys, there's nothing necessarily toxic about that post unless you make it out to be. The guy is just posting his opinion which he has the right to. I'm sure HB can handle some differing opinions just fine, it comes with the job.
  14. Dudikoff
    Yeah, it ended up being just a reveal stream, though I did expect a more in-depth demonstration since I don't really remember how their release process went with Viggen (that was so long ago plus I didn't really care about Viggen that much to follow it every step of the way). But, since the Tomcat's release is months away (i.e. at least two), there'll hopefully be more than a few updates presenting the module in more detail. Can't wait. I also felt the short, but very well produced A-6 AI presentation kind of stole the show being shown first.
  15. Dudikoff
    Or at least the four Forrestal class variants. Oh, wait..
  16. Dudikoff
    Look at their production values, no chance that's a glitch. I thought it was a joke at first (like, you have to wait some more), but it might be a hint for the next update (October 23rd?). But, $70 for only the F-14A & B & RIO AI & A-6 AI & the soundtrack & all features available on release? Very disappointed..
  17. Dudikoff
    Wait, what? We've waited this long, wouldn't it have been so much cooler if it was actually released on the 50th anniversary? That's only in like 2 more years and change. They could have released some lesser module in the meantime and what not. So disappointed..
  18. Dudikoff
    I'm just saying that the different behavior might be due to some changes to the tracking system linked to the Hornet FLIR pod or the AGM-65 seeker developments.
  19. Dudikoff
    I presume that at the very least we will finally get to see a textured Tomcat model and hopefully get a firm release date..
  20. Dudikoff
    Well, not quite, IMHO. That would have been the case if it was some D sub-variant (e.g. a stronger engine, different armor and weapons fit, etc.). This is more like some car compared to an 4x4 RV version of it (modified body, different engine, raised suspension) where it roughly belongs to the same family, but is in fact quite different to drive. So, here you need a new 3D model, new textures, sounds, significantly modified FM, etc.
  21. Dudikoff
    Yeah, FC3 first, for sure and it's the last plane left without the PFM. It's also the one I like flying the most of all the FC3 modules so it's been quite some wait for it.
  22. Dudikoff
    Yeah, I'm sure it will be. I just had to get that out of the way first before the big reveal tomorrow.
  23. Dudikoff
    I guess it's the F-14 community talking (as - hate to break it to you like this - planes don't actually talk ;) ), but I see your point. Still rubs me the wrong way if it is indeed so. They could have come up with something better, IMHO, given how much effort they put in these sideshows.

    While the countdown page is still up, have to admit I'm kind of confused by their slogan there - "Welcome back, baby". I get that it refers to "Anytime, baby" slogan, but Tomcat was not the "baby" there (IIRC, it was a response to a challenge to duel with the USAF F-15's). So, shouldn't it be in the form of "I'm back, baby" or "Guess who's back, baby" or "Guess who's coming to dinner, baby"?

    Anybody tried how these updates work at close range? When I was trying out one of the quick missions with the AIM-7's and firing at one target a few miles out from its 4-5 o' clock position, roughly the same altitude, the missiles seemed to have taken a huge intercept offset to the right that I didn't even see them showing up in front of me. They've never even gotten to the target, but they were fired with the flashing shoot indication.
