New WIP cockpit render.

IIRC they said the VREST page was almost complete during the last update video.

Awesome thanks! :thumbup:

Yes this is how it should work. The laser should really go to wherever the JTAC or TPOD is aiming, and then there should be a value called intensity that depends on distance from the laser emitter to the target. That should determine how likely a lock is. The value should be affected by time of day and weather etc too. That is how I would fix it, instead of having the laser coded to be wherever the line from where the TPod is looking intercepts the ground or 8 miles from the TPod as it seems it is now.

The issue is that the AGM-65E (and all other laser guided weapons) will lock onto the tip of the laser at ~ 8 miles instead of the point the laser intersects with the ground or target. If you dont want to watch the video linked in the thread you can look at this image I made. I had the laser aimed at the target and got a lock but instead of tracking on the target the missile tracked to the end of the 8 mile laser beam. Here you can see the target the missile should have been moving towards and how much of an angle off the missile ended up. The issue isnt that we aren't able to lock the target beyond the range of the laser, the issue is that we are getting a false lock on the end of the laser beam 8 miles from the emitter.

Thanks for sharing that link, you can upload the images you took to imgur or some other third party site and then link to each one with the Insert Image tool if you wanted.

Is this from that trip to a base you said you were taking today? You should post some more images in some other thread.

Well I stand corrected, wasnt aware that grip was used in so many other aircraft. I guess it is heavily modified though.

If they made a throttle I'd consider getting the whole setup. The only issue I have with it is that the F-14 stick and throttle are sort of unique to that aircraft from what I understand whereas something like the A-10C shares a stick layout with the F-16, a throttle layout with the F-15. And the F-18 stick is pretty similar to the AV-8B & F-15 sticks.

Same, guess we will have to wait some more... I'm pretty used to that when it comes to DCS though already.

Cool, thanks for sharing. The desktop facebook site has higher res images though:

So is this not realistic to expect anymore or what's the deal with this?

Looks like the -5 & D are planned for the distant future according to the latest update video.

Yea that's what I am expecting too. If any were to be bundled I would expect it to be the AV-8B NA & AV-8B+ though because of just how similar they are even according to the manual.

I mean, I imagine we will get something before or just after launch.

Hey Decoy, I know it is still (very) early but if you have plans for a Mirage-5 & D variant do you have any idea if they be discounted for current Mirage 2000C owners? I know people have the same question regarding the AV-8B NA and AV-8B+ because of how similar they seem. Thanks for the video, keep these up! :thumbup:

Would be nice to have Decoy acknowledge that this is being worked on as well as the issues related to the Armament Control Panel. These along with finishing the INS & adding JDAMs are what I with my admittedly limited understanding personally believe should be the top priorities.

I doubt we will see this till after some of their other announced and ED approved projects like the F-15E & MiG-23 are in the sim.

Maybe that's because the Prowler is the EW aircraft :lol:

The next video is supposed to be about the Mudhen iirc.

The Mirage has been out of Early Access for ages now afaik.

I think getting a modern Intruder would be nice especially for Multiplayer, but I wouldnt say no if they wanted to model an earlier Vietnam variant.

When you launch the sidearms without a lock are they supposed to go around in a circle till they crash? Not sure if that is a bug or not but I thought it was interesting behavior.
