I’m not buying it because they are not adding a 1st person pilot in the cockpit. That’s the deal breaker for me as I notice it so much in VR. Looking forward to the pacific but I’ll wait for the hellcat. And yes I agree with you about the Mig21

Would love it if this could be done. I’ve been trying to work out if I can add the bL755 to the harrier too but I cant do it. I adjusted the edm files that made the sidearm change to the alarm but effectively it’s still just the sidearm. I remember seeing a picture of a GR5 i believe carrying an alarm, I don’t think it ever was operational and was just experimental but still the alarm on the British harrier looks really cool. I also worked out how to change the Deniss mod so that the colour of the nose matches different skins. Absolutely love that mod.

One thing I have noticed with the mirrors in the FC3 aircraft the Mig 29 and Sus7/33 is that the textures in the mirrors look poor, jagged and not up to the standards of other aircraft in DCS, namely the pilots helmet reflection. Will this be reworked on the full fidelity stand alone version? Also looks far to expanded like its zoomed in 4x not sure if this is just a VR thing or the same in 2D Hoping to see an improvement there.

I know at one point on the Syria map when it was first released the tree populating was awful and you could physically see the trees growing in front of your eyes (again this was VR) It helped by increasing visible range but certainly didn't eliminate the problem, of course this came at the expense of performance, eventually they improved the map and I no longer notice this. I wonder do you experience these problems on all maps or a particular map?

Are you 2D? I use VR so visually it’s no different to what I’m used to I’m just noticing the F15E for example in a mission I had saved on Caucasus map is now staying at my FPS limit without dropping frames where as before I would get intermittent drops and stutters. I find the F15E one of the more demanding modules on FPS.

I'm seeing a performance improvement thankyou.

Hope this doesn’t come at the expense of performance however I accept everything needs to move on. Here’s hoping the eventual Vulcan implementation will improve things, can’t afford a big upgrade just yet.

Pilot body looks like it has animations. Have to say this looks incredible, I’ve not bought anything since the Razbam situation but I’m not going to be able to resist this one I love the Mig29.

Ah great thanks

Where’s pre-order trailer?

Thankyou nineline DM has been sent.

I did send a ticket about it, as I was thoroughly annoyed. ED did respond and acknowledged the issue and said it will be fixed but like I said this is really dragging on now.

I’ll be honest I appreciate that a lot of effort has gone into the SA map and I agree it looks great but the Frame drop issue below around 900ft still persists and has done for ages now. I’ve been told it will be fixed but the weeks go by the months go by the years go by and no updates come to address the problem and no news on if it’s being looked at. Or if the fix has started? It’s definitely a map that if I could I would return, simply because I’m just not using it because of this issue and haven’t done since I bought it. I also didn’t realise it’s not just a VR issue it’s a problem with non VR as well. I’m guessing you don’t have the issue? but for me it makes the map unplayable and of course there’s always been a part of me that wants to, and has supported many modules and for a long time, not necessarily playing them at first but being patient and waiting for them to develop but honestly this one annoys me because it was a lot of money and I’ve got zero use from it for a long time now. If it’s working for you that’s great I’m genuinely pleased it is, but for me it’s a major disappointment.

Ok. Thankyou for the info

Could anyone tell me Is the refund still an option as of the current date? I really didn’t want to when this first happened and hoped we would find a solution but this is ongoing and my gut feeling is without a good resolution, so I am contemplating refunding the F15E if that’s still a possibility and getting a new map.

Not sure why denissoliveira and his fantastic mod doesn't get more attention, AV-8B Harrier variant pack (FRS1, FRS2, GR7/9 and Plus+) version 1.0 I think he done a tremendous job, really clever work and I really appreciate his efforts. I don't fly in his FRS1 or FRS2 mods but they look great as static. I feel like not having a radar with our harrier is just too dissimilar to the real versions. His GR9 nose mod however I fly with all the time. Cockpit wise the AV8 NA and GR7/9 were very similar. Admittedly I had to make adjustments to his mod to get the colour of the nose to match the UK Harrier skins I use, but using this and the really good British accent mod I really love flying the Harrier as an RAF jet. I'd absolutely hate to loose her. shout out to lowlevelRAF who's skin i'm using in this picture his work is tremendous. We have a great community who do some tremendous things and are often willing to do stuff for others.

Will this next update include the A10c pilot body?

At last A10C pilot body fantastic

Yeah that’s fair enough my post was aimed more at seeing if the cockpit mods could be adjusted to make them slightly darker and to make the screws less prominent as opposed to any criticism aimed in your direction

Couple of great real photos of an F14 cockpit. I’ve noticed in this picture the screws seem to be the same colour as the cockpit panels. Also the lighter grey sections of the pit look a darker shade than is often portrayed although I accept this could just be the lighting conditions when the photo was taken. Looks like quite a clean pit I’m guessing it was a fairly new cat.

Hi Currenthill. if someone has already asked this I apologise and I have a feeling with over 200 pages someone probably has but without scrolling through every page, are ww2 assets something you have an interest in and is it possible you may do some in the future? I use your Tu 95 to do close formation intercepts with the F14 and see animated crew members through the windows. Absolutely amazing work and thankyou for adding so much to our favourite flight sim.

Dear Heatblur A request! if this request has already been asked I apologise, and before people start saying that you like the addition of wires and panels in the cockpit of the Tomcat to keep the missile prep switches etc in place, I have absolutely no problem with that and in fact I’m glad Heatblur has added the feature so you can enjoy it. I would just like to request that we have an option in the mission editor to select a cockpit that doesn’t have it because I personally find it ugly. Admittedly at the moment I have to load the mission a couple of times when I first load the F14 because I still get the TCS camera problem, but sometimes I’m having to shift-R 4-5 times to get a cockpit that I personally like. I would just like to have the option if that’s a possibility HB. Best regards, and love your work as always.

Yes I’d like to know this as well. (chaff and flares bit) I can’t find any orders in the Jester wheel.

Favourite module in DCS always happy to see new content added to this amazing Tomcat module. thanks. Will the visible pilot get some work at some point? I notice his feet don’t move with the toe brakes etc

I have read precisely this F14 in its early life was reliable and I’m sure as the Superhornet ages over the years the number of maintenance hours needed to keep it airborne will increase it’s just how it goes.
