We already have a way to source that data for the GPS. after i get the catalog and waypoint entering working, im gonna move onto automatically adding all the airfields, beacons, etc. into the database at runtime.

yup. our target map really is NTTR. Its got all the accurate VOR stations, I think most of the ILS beacons, runways line up perfectly, etc.

We've not made any formal announcements as it is. I think the only formal announcement will come when it actually drops. There's obviously plans I'm more privy to but don't talk about since this project isn't my love child, its scoob and loki's, so I only really parrot publicly what they've said in general chat, media, maybe some in the "questions" thread channel. As for when I work on this personally: I haven't worked on it much right now. A lot of the features we are still missing in flyable at this point on my end atleast are things that are hard to do without DCS SDK. Them two are hard at work on the AI mod right now and yup, everything is done in free time. Such is the reality of a lot of mods and even a lot of 3rd party upcoming modules. 4 years is nothing compared to the Mag3 corsair :p

Yep, thats directly the next feature. Currently, it pulls from the units mission editor waypoints to autocreate waypoints (and will bind mission waypoints for stuff like start/landing to the airdrome's name, or any nonmistakingly close VORs.

This is a Garmin GNS-530 radio/gps @Hayds_93 and I have been working on for literally no reason other than I like it and I make him work on it. Right now we have it in a stupid little general aviation sfm mod that will never see the light of day. We share these pics around the mod developers discord server, but thought it would be fun to show it off a little here. I know theres a few mods out there (probably not on this forum yet) that could definitely use a GNS-530. The eventual goal is to get this as a modular as possible so all the mod maker need is to drop the files in do a little linkage and add the 3d model. Yes i know ED's 430 exist, and I was surprised to hear they are still supporting it for the Mig29 it some capacity, but I plan for this to be a little more accurate than it. We also have AIRAC waypoints from Navigraph, unfortunately the database they provide for development isn't in any DCS map, but all the fixes youd expect to find in Central America/carribean are here there.

Not sure if its been mentioned here but on the discord we've kinda talked about it a bit publicly: we are finalizing an AI release so that we can get it out into mission maker hands

What she does best!

( @Slippa get in here before the picture goes wonky - try it on desktop. Its beautiful)

Looks awesome! Can't wait to see more.

Yes! That experience was very fun. I think I had it on oculus?

Sir, its actually the SNJ-5 And about the Dauntless... while being hired would be lovely, having a contact/in with the guys at CAF would go farther. not ready to realistically tackle that yet... we (I and some non-Lancaster affiliated people) are working on something else PTO that some will take as the stupidest thing we could've chosen, or one of the coolest. Stay tuned (in other threads, not this one. sorry for hijacking this one) also wtf is with the pics ig Lanc pics are destined by the forum to not work properly.

Some cool snippets of AI testing from Loki And for those not on discord, a soft announcement: So we're going to first fully finish the external model and AI flying. That's a big milestone and there's not a lot left, that's why we're doing the damage visuals, borts, etc. It's close. Then we'll get back to the cockpit and human player stuff.

We'd like to ship with a tallboy in some way shape or form, realistically or not I think (Loki and Scoob can confirm that). If youre talking about seeing my name and bombs in a patch notes a bit ago, thats a little misleading... all i did was change some values and boilerplate stuff. I dont believe we've ran into any bomb snags yet, although its been a while since i've personally looked at anything bomber related - wrapped up in multicrew rn. And a multicrew update Still kinda in the "research and figuring out" stage of multicrew. Different parts of the systems require different styles of syncing, so been working on 'simpler' projects to test my multicrew in the future. Turrets are the focus of my research in multicrew right now... again, plz write your local DCS Forum moderator to let them know that you'd like the Lancaster to be official (i jest (no i dont)).

It was a jest about encouraging ED to take us as a 3rd party I of course know that only 3rd parties get SDK access.

Just watched this, it was great! Poor Dave is living my worst nightmare, im applying to OCS and it would kill me if i washed out of pilot training. Those Lancasters are beautiful, wish theyd have saved them all for us in the future
