Agreed. Thanks Wags and team for the clear concise communication. I look forward to seeing the Hornet develop.

Hi Wags and team, Good roadmap. Love the communication and clear projections from you guys. One thing that I'm really keen on along with others is the inclusion of missing HOTAS features discussed in this thread:

Yeah I'm pretty sure that isn't from a NATOPs manual.

Really enjoyed the event. Thanks for putting it together! S!

P-38 please.

LTWS should not provide any weapon steering as described earlier. I know you should be able to launch the missile onto a datalinked contact but I don't know if the version of AMRAAMs that we have support that or not. With respect to RWS to TWS transition, there's some missing HOTAS logic; hopefully ED adds that at some point.

Not fixed yet.

This level of detail should really be done for the other modules as well. Wonder if HB have an RWR API they could share with ED.

Agreed.

Nice write-up. Thanks for sharing.

<64>Aggressors would like to switch their registration to the F-86 if allowed because of the Sabre pilot shortage.

I agree but that doesn't reconcile with it being lower than the Mirage. They're both relative size.

Compared to the other aircraft in DCS the F-16's RCS is relatively low: In-game the RCS value are the following F-16's RCS Value = 4 F/A-18C RCS Value = 5 F-14 RCS Value = 6 Mirage-2000 RCS Value = 5 F-15 RCS Value = 5 Su-27 RCS Value = 5.5 The low RCS value in the F-16 allows it to easily notch missiles: https://streamable.com/1i4vf I can understand the Viper's RCS being lower than the F-15 and Su-27 but lower than the Mirage-2000?

Confirming my attendance

If you're referring to DCS it does in single-player. If you're referring to real-life the Su-27SK has P2P.

I would much rather the dev focus be on the A2A Radar. Klarsnow is a real world operator and if he’s telling you in so many words that A2G Radar is over hyped and not the killer app you think it is you might want to listen to him.

Would be great if we can adjust the angle of our mirrors instead of the fixed position that they are currently in.

Yes that's because the resolution of the TGP's back then pale into comparison to what we have today.

There have been numerous pilots and WSO's in this community when asked state that there is no use really for a/g radar apart from SAR mapping at low altitude. Today's air warriors primarily use the targeting pod.

I disagree. Everyone is aware of what the issues are no need to constantly voice them. People complain about lack of progress, these guys are working with little information on these features that are waiting to be added. Do you have a ATFLIR doc that has a description of the symbology and how the pod integrates with the aircraft? Do you think a lot of SME's are willing to go there with a foreign based company. Not saying this is a reason but it could be... Look at the end of the day there's a lot of content in DCS if you're not satisfied find something in the sim to do that you suck at and improve on it e.g. BFM, formation flying, Case 1's, etc. But there's plenty to do and learn at the moment. No need to continue to gripe over things out of your control.

No disrespect but a lot of you guys ask for the "wrong" things. The radar still needs to be fleshed out. We're missing: VS. AZ/EL, Bump ACQ, existing radar bugs cleaned up (e.g. Radar antenna elevation getting stuck). Jamming is not available in the F-18: You cannot jam and your radar automatically burns through jammers. From a survivability stand-point that's an issue and from a balance perspective Flankers/Mirage's are at a disadvantage not being able to JAM and engage closer at high altitude or mask their azumith. Instead of pestering ED for inconsequential things like A2G radar (which is rarely used in real life) and additional stand-off weapons instead shine a light and ask for missing radar/avionic features. I'm happy with the Hornet and I think ED is doing a good job. But having those features would go a long way.
