Is this something new being worked on?

I was creating a mission using the harriers and had them take off from the LHD Carriers. When the mission started they'd rev up their engines, turn their lights on and just stay there and not take off at all

Very simple cold start mission in the F-5E from Bandar Abbas in the rains. Deliberately made this mission so it could demonstrate the new rain effects and the Iranian assets, and eventually be added by ED (hoperfully). https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3300598/

Thanks! I'll do it!

Assets for that faction, just like Iran and the others

Thanks, i'll try that. I'm afraid however that it might take too long. Some folks have complained that it has taken over 30 mins to simply load and ultimately crash at the end. Also there's hardly any concrete way of telling it's safe to click, because from the FPS counter it shows that it's working fine and is ok to click or scroll. I still can't scroll regardless and once I make the mistake of clicking it's over!

I already tried that, the fps counter before clicking or scrolling is at 67/68 and fluctuates there, however it still doesn't let me scroll. The second I click my mouse shows the timer and the fps counter is stuck at 67 which I think it's frozen

Ever since the new update, although I've been able to load till the select role screen, I've absolutely been unable to select any of the roles on the screen. It just stays there on the screen, frozen, I'm unable to scroll down to select. To get it to movie I simply click, then my mouse cursor shows the loading icon and then it just keeps showing that till it ultimately either crashes, or simply shows a completely blank screen where I can't even see my mouse :(

That I know of. I'm aware of how FC3 is a popular product and all. I also know of what your point of view is to bring more people in with existing planes at FC3 level. Which is why I stated this in a later reply........

Will the UAE skin be officially switched to the UAE faction? And I'm also curious will Razbam assist in the making of UAE assets? Like the A330 MRTT tanker or possibly an AI F-16 Block 60?

Exactly, I too don't agree with an FC level F-5 or Mig-21. I think all 3rd gen planes at least should be full fidelity. It's understandable why 4th gen planes are hard to gather data and be turned into full fidelity planes. Hence I proposed the tandem seat version of 4th gen planes like that :)

Personally I think that's sort of a win win situation

Even if ED wants to make it on existing aircrafts, why not give it a motive and a deviation? Why not make them based off the existing planes but maybe tandem seat versions? Planes like the F-15D, F/A-18D, Mirage 2000D, Mig-29UB, maybe even an Su-30M2 or possibly even SM? Who else would be ok with this? Like as Nineline said, FC4 would be based off of existing aircraft, and the customers don't want a dumbed down version of the exact plane they're flying, so why not a twin seat version of those existing planes? I think this will also add to the expanded use of Multicrew in online gameplay, and also help implement the new Jester AI

I can't help but agree with the majority that is disagreeing. No one would pay money for a dumbed down version of an already existing plane, and then pay even more for a full fidelity version of it. Like I don't see the point of this at all!? Take aircraft that are more modern, planes who's full fidelity modules can't be made like 4th gen Russian or Chinese or maybe even European for that matter, and then make an FC4 out of that. It would make so much more sense that way

Oh ok I get it, but wouldn't newer airframes be more wanted or maybe possible? Just curious

FC3 versions of existing full modules? Like?

I think FC4 would be perfect for tandem seat fighters, as a mirror FC3 and some of the full fidelity planes. FC4 could have the F-15D, Mirage 2000D, Su-30, Mig-29UB and such?

Is it ok if we the users take time and create simple small Instant Action missions for the map for specific planes? Like I recently made a cold start mission for the F-5E in Iran. I made use of not only the Iranian assets and skins, but also the stormy weather to show the new players the canopy raindrop effects. So can you send missions like these to ED? And ED can check them, modify them as they feel and implement them into the game in future updates?

Is there a possibility of seeing other assets of Saudi Arabia along side the F-15? Like the KE-3A tanker that they use?

Amazing!! Thank you so much!! So for red, Iran is certainly number one. For the RED side, 4 main planes. That is a large number of Iranian Mig-29As, F-5Es and Su-25s, Mig-21s and Mi-8s in large numbers A small number of Russian Su-27s, Mig-29Ss and another small number of Chinese J-11s. Maybe 4 each 1 Kuznetsov and a few Su-33s (Only add these in the future after the F/A-18 comes out) Egyptian Mirage 2000s For BLUE side, lets add more factions but center the Middle Eastern blue factions Large number of F-15s, can be USAF, Israeli, hopefully Saudi in the future if added F-5Es of Saudi Arabia, USAF, maybe other NATO countries Mig-29A from Poland/Mig-29G for Germany 1 CVN with F/A-18s (in the future) French/UAE Mirage 2000s 1 LHD with US Marine Harriers

Although that is true, don't you think all the western full fidelity planes already compensate for that?

Aaaaaah damn, now if only we could have the F-14 and the F-4E ;)

Also don't forget the Mig-21s and Mi-8s can be Iranian also, they've added skins to those too

Or how about have FC4 solely based on Helicopters? Mainly utility or cargo helicopters with maybe 2 gunships? Like an older AH-1G from Vietnam (BTW the bare 3D model of it is already in the game ;) ) And for the Russian side maybe an Mi-28? Just a thought

Those screenshots look really old, like 1.5 level old
