  1. I don't know whole lot about this, but you may wish to scour this website for info... https://www.blurbusters.com/faq/motion-blur-reduction/
  2. Any plans for collaboration for a 2K or 4K? It would stink for my wait for higher res. headsets to only give me an option that I'd need an entire new PC for.... But definitely good news!
  3. Pretty sure they said they would be seperate modules. Of course that doesn't stop them from making good bundle deals or making the price for them low.
  4. You could use me... I make a very good lure :megalol: I'm pretty great at getting shot down. But yeah, I second these questions.
  5. Shields could prevent air friction, and if not, shouldn't it be designed for the friction of re-entry?
  6. With operating the AWG-9 radar, keeping eyes peeled, reminding the pilot of checklists, and I assume helping with INS alignments and entering coordinates for A-G operations; I'm sure you'll have plenty to do. Although I think just how busy you stay will depend on how well designed the particular mission is.
  7. Just shoot down anyone in the pattern, problem solved.
  8. It's becus of alien technologie
  9. The Phantom is already being worked on by Belsimtek!
  10. Not really, the BRU-55 is for smart bombs. BRU-33 should be used in this case (i think).
  11. Sith I'm not wanting to argue but I hope I can just give the reasons I think ED should model the ability to carry dual GBU-12s. I hope that if anyone from the hornet team sees this they would give it a consideration. 1. The Hornet in DCS will undoubtedly be the most realistic recreation ever done of the F-18. It would be a real shame to have this little detail missing. 2. Wags said in his intro video that "We plan to include all weapons carried by US operated F/A-18Cs." While I understand everything is subject to change, it would again be a real shame if we had such a huge arsenal of weapons but this missing detail made us miss out on some very interesting/versatile loadouts that the hornet is capable of. 3. If you guys decided to leave out any USMC loadout capabilities and to only stick with USN (and therefore leave out the BRU-55 due to how recent their purchase of it is), correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't this also mean we would loose the ability to mount dual JDAMs on a pylon? Don't those require a BRU-55? While I prefer the LGBs, this would seriously restrict the amount of fun "ripple drops" that one could do with JDAMs. Not meaning to be argumentative just putting these out there, I realize there is a ton of stuff you guys are working on... -------------------------------------------- @Skate I'm sure you know more about the navy regulations etc. than I do, but if that double GBU-12 setup wouldn't be considered for drag/weight reasons, then I must conclude that the navy is giving their legacy hornets a "baby treatment." I did some calculating, see the A/A loadout in this vid at 0:37? The drag and weight per wing are... drag index = 48.3 weight = 4,132 lbs (with full tanks) remember that 1x maverick and 2x GBU-12 per wing load out posted earlier? Here's that one... drag index = 48 weight = 2,902 lbs Ya I know the tanks will run out, but they will only match the weight after more than 1,000 lbs (2,000 from both) burn off! And that's an A/A loadout! I certainly hope the navy doesn't have weight/wing loading restrictions THAT strict or we'll have no fun ;) Plus the Hornet restricts Gs based on loadouts so I'm not worried.
  12. One can use the performance manual for the F/A-18 to see that a loadout that takes advantage of the dual GBU-12s can be easily used without handicapping yourself in either weight or drag. I'm no expert, but I spent a lot of time going over what loaouts were feasible with that manual. And yeah there's no dual rack for AGM-65s
  13. Wags has said multiple times that after their engineer finishes the work he has on A-G weapons, he will see what he can do with the A-A weapons. He said this both in posts and live streams.
  14. So you're telling me.... That at this present time, it seems as though the plans of the current flight simulation elites are forcing me to, besides the particular amount of currency I hath set to be used for the purchase of the anticipated virtual products to be released by said elites, choose to which physical apparatus I shall designate my particular budgeted funds for a replica of a simulated item's controller; and thereby, force my persons decision making capacity to make a choice between two of mine favorite flying, sea based, military vehicles? Great...
  15. As many curves the aircraft FMs have to follow, I'm sure ED will eventually get around to adding some way to have the missiles G limit change. Maybe progressively as they get closer to the target.
  16. Wow, that stinks! I wish you well on rebuilding your PC!
  17. Well we did just get new wire trapping physics, and have seen previews of the models of the new carrier modules.
