See you all on October 7th. We won’t let you down. So what's going to happen on October 7th? Cobra's post isn't entirely clear on this?

This is great news.

Im guessing that ED didn't consider this bug to be a huge showstopper, otherwise they would not have pushed this version to release. In principle though, I agree with you. "Stable" should only be updated when it is perfectly stable and with a minimum ammount of bugs. If a big bug is introduced in a beta patch, then that version should not be released to stable before the bug is ironed out.

How bout in plain english for those of us who find equations hard to follow :smilewink: Is this going to end up giving the missiles some more energy to play with than with the current modeling? Im assuming that if the testing for the Patriot is successful it will be carried over to all the missiles in the game including player controlled air-to-air missiles?

Thanks for the reply Ironhand

Yak-52. But if the next module after that isn't the F14 I will be really dissapointed. (I know that it's not ED's module)

The module that was announced before any of those listed above was the Mi-24 Hind. This is the module that should be released first.

Wow this needs to be a thing.

A paid position means there is also responsibility involved. If people are paying you for work, you have a responsibility to complete that work and meet your deadlines. Working for free (out of the goodness of your heart) almost never works out, for precisely that reason.

Im pretty sure that stable won't get merged with beta unless the beta branch is stable. If you know what I mean. :)

To be fair, only the MS export version is talked about as a terrible aircraft. In my opinion very rightfully so. (You can find many Arab pilots' accounts online who absolutely hated the aircraft)

Will the AFM/PFM for the Mig29 ship with MAC? What about the FC3 version? Will the FC3 Mig29 get the upgraded FM at the same time?

:(

I'd be very surprised we see it this year. Though, Razbam are the fastest developers in DCS.

Actually thats not quite true. The only "semi firm" release window that we had was end of 2017, and Heatblur apologized and explained why they missed it.

The comms in DCS are really not up to par to the rest of the simulation. I hardly even bother with the radios, except for AWACS calls, so yeah I wouldn't expect much from the Jester in this regard.

People seem to forget that uspscaling resolution without increasing the size of your monitor will lead to higher pixel density. With the way that spotting works in DCS, this translates to nearly invisible targets at range. I still think that spotting at even 1080p is too hard, although its better than it used to be in 1.5.X. Higher contrast monitors help in this regard, but even in close range losing targets in the ground clutter is a coin toss basically.

Speaking for myself the problem with playing DCS online is that once you try it its very difficult to go back to single player missions and such. Sure campaigns are a nice bonus to learning a new aircraft but most modules released these days usually only get a campaign as a later paid DLC. When it works, playing DCS online, regardless of which module is used is really, really great fun.

Anyone try the clipped wing yet? Im on hiatus from DCS, though I do lurk on the forums waiting for the Tomcat.

Thanks for the reply Super Grover :thumbup:

It won't be a jumbled mess, at the most the offset will be about 30 degrees for the painting radar until you return to level flight. Even modern RWRs aren't "magical" know-it-all detection instruments. Even current DCS level modules have big gaping blind-spots in their RWR detection systems, which is exactly as it should be. With that said I do have a question for whoever at Heablur is coding this: What kind of performance hit will this kind of detail add to the simulation, if any? As a followup: Do you guys balance performance vs modeling detail during the coding of your modules, or do you just go all out on the modeling and let the performance be whatever it ends up being?

Im not. In fact Im officialy requesting a chromecat skin for the module once it comes out :smilewink:

Wow. So much detail. I don't think anyone even expected this much detail from a relatively "simple" system. KUDOS!

Damn, now I want to know what's holding back the release of the aircraft :music_whistling:

How did you even get SLI to work? AFAIK SLI is not supported in DCS.
