Don’t worry mate, I didn’t take it personally. :thumbup:

Oh that’s fair enough, I’m not saying you shouldn’t run Stable, just stating that personally I’ve not had any issues. For myself the fact we get access to the new modules earlier than stable in OB, outweighs any bugs that may creep in for me personally.

EVERYTHING gets released on OB first. It’s the way it’s always been, so I honestly doubt this would be different. It’s the main reason I only run OB, and too be honest, I’ve not seen any difference in crashes or bugs compared to release apart from I get the updates quicker.

Don’t see why not once it’s for sale at full price. I know I could use them on the mig 19 last Friday when it came out.

Oh I have a buddy lined up, hell I have 2 lined up who want to be pilots. The only issue is I work shifts and they work standard days, so we are only online at the same time on a wed evening every other week.

Thanks for the reply, I do appreciate that, the AI you’ve developed for Jester is already mind blowing. It’s my fault for assuming something since the Rio seat is fully developed. However a Rio mission would be very very greatfully received so we can at least practice radar intercepts.

Really damn, I’ve always assumed the Iceman AI would get similar AI as Jester obviously I figured it would take time to be developed, as otherwise it pretty much wipes out any chance of us learning to be an effective Rio in SP So that news is extremely disappointing to me, considering the main reason I’ve picked up the F14 was the Rio seat. Guess I’m stuck with only using the F14 when others are online then. :cry::cry:

But from what is stated, he can only do level flying with some minor turns. He can’t Takeoff / Land, intercept targets / bomb / or do anything other than basic autopilot flying. He’s only designed to be used for short periods, while you jump into the backseat, do a quick search of radar then jump back. So not really much use at the moment for training. I’m hoping he will improve to the standard of Jester during the development, but that obviously may take a while.

Just been reading about the limitations of Iceman currently in the module, with him basically being a basic autopilot and is extremely limited in what he can do. While I understand developing two impressive AI in time for the EA, would have been a massive undertaking and quite likely would delay the module by some bit. This obviously causes quite an issue for those of us who want to learn the Rio role. How for example are we meant to practice, cold and dark startups, landings, fence in, fence out, radar intercepts etc. I know technically we could keep jumping in between the seats during different stages of the flight, although this would be incredibly annoying and very immersive breaking. Not to mention adding significantly to the work load of the trainee Rio, who would have to learn BOTH roles at the same time, which is a awful lot to ask of anyone, let alone someone who’s trying to learn one of the most advanced radar systems ever developed. The only other option is waiting until your pilot comes online, but again Rios will now be restricted to flying only when others are on which will again significantly reduce the amount of time they can practise. So just wondering if anyone has a solution to this issue?

But But But, they have it running fine in that video, so it’s ready NOW. Why do we need to wait until the 13th. RELEASE IT NOW. ;) ;) ;) ;)

Great balls of fire. A Date, we have a date.

It looked fantastic, even more impressed now I’ve found out that apparently it was filmed in Multicrew. So it’s the first look at Working Multicrew in a complicated aircraft in DCS. Looked smooth as anything, and working well, which is extremely exciting for the future of Multicrew in DCS. So ummm anyway, Jabbers. Now that HB has shown off the Rio cockpit, will this mean a video from your side. ;) ;)

:thumbup: cheers mate, guess that’s what I get for reading posts on nights and half asleep. Ok then, in that case. I’m still saying the 15th, purely because I’m a stubborn git. :lol:

Just stunning, cannot wait to learn this seat. Hell im more excited to be pressing buttons, than flying this iconic aircraft.

Really I could have sworn the post stated the updates were being moved to Fridays to give them more time. Although I’ll be damned if I can find that post from earlier this week now, so there is a fair chance I could be wrong. Fingers crossed

Guess Heatblur has heard you.

Lol glad I’m not the only one. Really haven’t got much interest in the mig, However who on earth wants black and white icons on their front screen, so she’s now purchased. Got to have the hangar full, even if I do still have quite a few on there, that I still haven’t flown.

Well then, guess she will be landing on the 15th. My reasons are as follows, A. Open Beta updates now moved to a Friday from a Wednesday. B. Historically we only get a Open Beta update every two weeks, as it alternates between Beta and Stable. C. Last Friday before end of winter. May get surprised by a special update, which would be nice. IF we miss end of winter, Friday the 29th is a very good release date. ;) ;) ;) Oh and my Bday. :D

This. It’s the one feature this module is screaming for. The ultimate Easter egg.

Ummmm, think you made a mistake mate. You’ve misspelt rear seat as Front seat. ;)

Diamondback Ordered. Very pleasant surprise, as completly forgot I ordered a pack with a T-shirt. :D

Damn what a meltdown this post is suddenly having. I can see the future now, ED gives in and releases the F14. The next month of posts will be the same people complaining that the F14 has bugs, and What are ED doing, it wasn’t ready for release. Damned if they do, Damned if they don’t. ED / HB please do not give in, do not release if there are issues that need to be fixed. Do this right, she’s gonna be amazing, we will be flying her for years to come, and from all accounts she’s gonna push DCS In terms of technology. To be honest, I’m actually quite happy about this situation and the fact ED are communicating with us on here, as it’s meaning we are getting a better idea of just how much work goes into making sure the Modules are stunning. This can only be a positive thing for the future.

Well due to work commitments, I’ve not been able to fly for around 4 weeks. Managed to jump back on here, so thought I would do a few landings on the carrier to blow off the cobwebs. After 2 hrs I had achieved NOT ONE successful landing. :doh: I knew I would be rusty but damn I wasn’t expecting to lose all my skills. I had gotten to the point where I was landing pretty consistently. Just shows how often you need to practice those landings. Ahh well back to the drawing board and try try again. Well it’s either a rusty, or just a completely rubbish pilot. :dunno::dunno:

On a different note. How many here have ended up purchasing other Metor albums after hearing them on here. Never heard of the guys before this. Now I own every album of theirs. I’ve yet to find a bad track. Everything these guys have done is just mind blowing.

There’s a tape player in the Viggen??? Really must read the manual and learn that aircraft. That sounds cool
