Question: Is there anything new on the VR front? Examples: – performance improvements, maybe like the shader mod only that it wouldn’t break multiplayer – ways to make notes in VR (would love grease pencils on the canopy or so). Answer: The biggest improvement for VR will be based on the new graphics engine that is already well into development. The new graphics engine will take advantage of GPU Multi-Threading and the Vulkan API. This is one of the highest priorities of our core features team. Not only will this provide a better VR experience, it will also allow us to create much larger and more detailed worlds with richer effects and immersion. It’s a good idea to have the possibility to make notes on a pad in VR. We’ll think about it and implement as additional game feature in VR mode.

Kann ich nur beipflichten. Ganz interessantes Interview. Da kommen ganz tolle Sachen auf uns zu [emoji106]

We currently only have LTWS (latent track while scan)

As the GBU-24 wasn't on the roadmap list (please see the newsletter from last Friday Oct 11th) it seems it will come at a later point

Schon mal jemand davon gehört? Klingt echt super:

Korrekt QuiGon, hätte mich etwas präziser ausdrucken müssen [emoji106]

Die Hornet ist auch ein sehr komplexes Flugzeug, was einige Zeit benötigt, all die Systeme, Radar und neuen Waffen bedienen zu können. Der SCS ist ja auch erst mit der Implementierung von IFF bzw. SA Page dazugekommen (wenn mich nicht alles täuscht). Zum Glück gibt es viele tolle Youtube Tutorials (halt fast alle in Englisch wenn das für dich kein Problem ist).

Best way to see the offical news thread in the forum and/or to subscribe the weekly newsletter

Correct! It was confirmed by someone in the forum that the recce button is to mark events during flight to make it easier for the maintenance guys to recognize what when happened

Especially when we get a dynamic campain it would be glad if we get an E-8 Joint Stars or an RC-135

Hey all According to Wags latest Viper mini update, he stated: Do I understand it right, that when TWS will be implemented into the viper, we will also get it for the hornet quite quickly as well?

No news doesn't mean they are not working hard on the new super carrier. But it seems they push the Viper for a close release

Seems to be in the HSI page where you can find the GPS coordinates of the tacan stations

Why not make a DLC like the super carrier for civilian ai, trucks, objects and a much more realistic ATC (air traffic control)

Indeed it is [emoji106]

Naja ich sehe das nicht so streng. Im Englischen Teil gehen da ziemlich die Wogen hoch, aber immerhin war Wags bzw. ED fair genug, es mitzuteilen. Wir hätten es ja kaum bemerkt, wenn sie nichts gesagt hätten. Ich denke, die Hornet profitiert über kurz oder lang davon, da sowohl der TWS, A/G-Radar als auch der TGT Pod für die Viper von Bedeutung sein werden

Soviel ich weiss, muss bei Steam zwingend ein Termin eingetragen werden (diese Disskussion gab es öfters im Englischen Teil des Forums). Würde den 25. Sep daher lediglich als Platzhalter betrachten

Hello Amalahama I highly recommend you this book. Sounds like what you are looking for: https://www.amazon.com/McDonnell-Douglas-18-Hornet-Super/dp/1785210548/ref=sr_1_1?__mk_de_DE=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&keywords=9781785210549&qid=1568473920&s=gateway&sr=8-1 Cheers Weasel

Ohne hier jemanden persönlich angreifen zu wollen, aber es ist nun mal ein gesellschaftliches Problem, dass die Leute immer ungeduldiger werden. Zumal die Händler (wie z.B. Amazon) die Ware immer schneller ausliefern wollen. Da erstaunt es mich nicht, dass die Leute stets ungeduldiger werden und nach einem genauen Veröffentlichungstermin schreien. Etwas mehr Geduld und Verständnis wäre nicht schlecht

ED confirmed several time that new modules won't disturb the developement of the hornet. The engineers are still hard working to finish the hornet. Please note that not all engineers are working on the hornet, so it makes sense that they moved to other projects

There was a Friday newsletter in August with some more detailed information and some screenshots of the animated deck crew

There is a switch on the left side panel to dump the fuel

According to AFM magazin (Aug 19 issue) only 19 legacy hornets will be upgraded to F/A-18C+. Initially 30 aircrafts were planned to be upgraded to C+ "The F/A-18C+ is equipped with an upgraded APG-73 Radar, Link 16, colour cockpit displays, a moving map display, ALE-47 infrared countermeasures, the Naval Aircrew Common Ejection Seat (NACES) and the JHMCS. The service life of the airframe is also extended from 6,000 to 8,000 flight hours. To date, only three C+ Hornets have been completed and delivered; two having joined VMFA-115 (one of which has been lost in a mishap) and one to VMFA-112 at Fort Worth, the unit that is scheduled to receive most of the C+ aircraft"

Looks fantastic and what an awesome cockpit. Congratulation mate!

Steam always has to fill in a date, this is just a placeholder. The date when the F-16C viper will be released for ea will be published by ED at a later point
