Cobra847

The changes were committed pretty late so they may not have been pulled into the build. I've uploaded the changes as a hotfix mod here: http://media.heatblur.se/ajs37.rar Unsure whether this passes integrity checks. I'll double check our distribution branch to ensure everything is in place and there were no errors made there.

After our initial optimization pass, currently performance in the F-14 is identical to the F-18 on: i5 6600K OC'd to 4.3 Ghz 32GB RAM GTX1080 With most/all DCS settings to High. VRAM usage is higher, so expect lower total overhead (this may be an issue in cases where a mission uses many different assets). We will be doing detailed benchmarks for your purchase decisionmaking once the module is fully complete.

We're not doing any -A liveries for the -B and we suggest you also stick to -B repaints while we modify the airframe to represent the -A (this won't take very long at all!). That way we maintain some consistency :) The UVs will be 99% the same though.

Hey guys, I've uploaded a few of the major front cockpit parts at the link below: http://media.heatblur.se/F-14_B_Cockpit_Dimensions.rar License: non-commercial, personal-use only. We encourage you to share any models you make based on these. Hope it helps! Units are 1 unit = 1.0m

We will try to organize a RU translation of the manual; but this is not a guarantee yet. The RU community is important to us! We will distribute preview builds to RU community members (e.g. maybe SandMartin etc.) who can maybe help make video tutorials in Russian before release.

Hoping to at least have one livery for each F-14B squadron on EA release with more following on. Aggressor schemes are included in that hope.

just to clarify also; art changes will be in next wednesday, not this one.

Purchases on the ED E-Store are tied to your account. I believe you can gift it if you contact support.

Thanks John! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

We're looking into this.

Confirmed - we're looking into it. Associated with engine smoke fix.

We target 45fps on a 1080 as "acceptable" VR performance. EDIT: It's not as smooth as the Viggen currently. That is the target. I think we'll get there.

That's not quite true :) We're working on our Forrestal. :) If anything new comes into DCS in the way of carrier development - we'll add that as we go along.

I've just put the finishing touches on the visual updates detailed in this thread and they will be included in the next OB patch.

Sit tight. ;)

Also my point about not crunching for christmas is not a promise either FWIW - take it just as a personal wish for both the sake of our team's sanity and business performance. Running a business like this is a loooot of stress - and avoiding as much of it is as possible is becoming increasingly important to me, but quality will come first - so if that means less eggnog and more gollum coffee frenzy, so be it. We're targeting December. We're guaranteeing Winter. Set your expectations accordingly.

Yep. Slightly more clogged up arteries though (probably)

We'll try our very best and update this continually. Catering to every option for every knob/switch just takes a lot of time and is difficult to predict, hence why this sometimes doesn't happen right from the getgo.

Noone is abandoning anything.. Don't look past a year of solid Viggen support just because we've focused on F-14 PR lately.

Err- just to be clear: The PBR overhauled cockpit is not a Beta -> release item. It's my personal wish to deliver an even better experience; but you'd be hard pressed to say that the Viggen cockpit is sub-par visually at present. New sounds, RAT and EP-13 coming before end of year.

You'll get an e-mail with a key :)

Slightly more, but unclear until final optimization done. Works fine in VR currently despite optimization pass not done :)

Updated initial post :) You should have received your code to your e-mail from a SendOwl address.

Don't worry and add your second key. A tiny tiny part of the key batch we received is mislinked to PG and we're removing them from our database. A few were sold before we could yank them. Apologies for the inconvenience and will be standing by to fix if any issues arise!
