Correct. I'll see if I can do an AGM-154A and MSI for LTWS video today. Thanks

The Warthog throttle is not the only throttle with a slew axis controller that can have difficulty with a slew and button press at the same time. This is exactly why we added the other slew option. Thanks

As NL indicated, there has been no change. The engineer that works in such items has been very busy on other areas the past couple of months. Thanks

Hey Lex, This is something we are developing in support of Modern Air Combat. We are using DCS as a test platform. Thanks

What a wonderful experience! The highlight of the show was meeting many of you, or clients, and getting to hear your feedback on our product. It was great to put some faces to user names and hearing what DCS World means to you. Some of the stores were quite inspirational. Another aspect was meeting with Thrustmaster to discuss what comes after the F-16C and talks with companies like A2A and Orbx about potential cooperation. Skies the limit! For those that made the show, thanks again for all the kind words and your continued support. We cannot do this without you. - Wags

I hope to have a Case III radio communications instruction video next week. We are just cleaning up a few remaining items. In next week's newsletter, we will have a little look at some of the deck crew animations. Thanks

I'll try to create an instruction video next week. Thanks

It really is a great product that I highly recommend. Not just for the Hornet of course, but also a great choice for the AV-8B and the upcoming F-15E. Thanks

Nice job!

We certainly hope so, but not something we can promise until we nail down the issue. Thanks

Simply the performance optimization for the Caucasus, Persian Gulf, and Nevada maps. This was working quite well in our internal trunk version, but when moved to the 2.5.5 branch, we lost the optimization. The team is investigating. Once we stomp this gremlin, we'll get this VR performance optimization into a later OB. Thank you for your patience and support.

All VR optimization tests were done on our internal development trunk, not the 2.5.5 branch. The 2.5.5 branch was just constructed yesterday after creating a new branch based on the current version of the development trunk. In the process of creating the 2.5.5 branch from the trunk, something broke the VR optimization of the maps. We are looking into it. Thanks

Sadly, the move to the 2.5.5 branch broke the VR optimization, so I've been unable to test that. Thanks

Hey everyone, As mentioned earlier, I had an HP Reverb loaner coming this week and it arrived yesterday. Wow! This is truly a banner year for VR and the Reverb is a huge part of that. I can’t and won’t compare to other products, but here are some of my impressions after about an hour in the device: As expected, the resolution of the displays really sets it apart. Even in cockpits with very small texts, it is possible to read. Clarity is approaching 2D monitor levels and I could see no evidence of SDE. It is a GREAT VR device for DCS World. I personally did not notice any god rays and the blacks were quite deep. I’m personally a big fan of inside-out tracking. I don’t really “do” room-scale VR, so the ease of setup, maintenance of tracking, and freeing up USB ports is a huge plus for me. Even with the higher resolution, I did not notice any appreciable performance loss outside of my expectations given the nature of VR. Performance was quite good. I really can’t comment on the hand controllers because I don’t use them. Comfort was very nice and I felt very “at home”. There was also very little light bleed through the nose area which I appreciate. I have a rather narrow IPD (59), but I was still able to get a great setting. Later this month I will send the device to our team to allow native support (no SteamVR requirement) There are a growing number of outstanding VR options this year, and I believe it will come down to your budget available and the features you prize most. If outstanding resolution, inside-out tracking, and comfort rank high for you, I can certainly give the Reveb my stamp of approval. Well done HP! Thanks, Wags

I have an HP Reverb "loaner" coming today and I'll try to give you some of my impressions in regards to DCS. It's also my hope to bring it to the Flight Sim Expo this weekend in Orlando. Thanks

Yes, A and C are planned for next week, the 12th. Thanks

Yes, it's a feature of the new carrier module. Thanks

Regardless of the pod type, it's always listed as FLIR on the DDI pages. Thanks

An Open Beta is still planned for this week, but the Hornet items will be for the following week. Thanks

NL is not being snarky, we are generally curious where such a statement was made four hours ago. When creating the video, I was very deliberate in not saying when we expect the JSOW to go to OB. Mainly because several items were still being worked on over the weekend, and not until this morning did we have a good feel for the status of the feature and its risk potential of being buggy or breaking other game elements. As such, after careful evaluation, we feel it best to give it a full week of testing once our internal testers have completed their A-8 testing. Thanks

Hey everyone, Because our test team has been focused on the Fw 190 A-8 release, we've been unable to allocate proper testing on the JSOW before an OB release. As such, we'll need to postpone to the 12 June OB. This will also allow us time to complete integration of the JSOW A version (still working on HT fuze settings). Thanks

No, we have no information about such a feature in the USN/USMC A and standard C versions. Thanks

This is an introduction video regarding use of the AGM-154C JSOW for DCS: F/A-18C Hornet. The AGM-154C is planned to be included in the a later Open Beta release. The AGM-154C is an INS/GPS-guided air-to-surface glide bomb with a BROACH penetrator warhead. It allows excellent standoff range with a powerful and accurately delivered warhead designed to defeat hardened targets.
