I mean, you never will until it shows up on the changelog. Unless you speak Russian and can talk to the actual Devs, not the go betweens stuck in the middle.

“Personal attacks” is where things really take a turn. WTF?

Rare only matters in precise historical reenactment. Using Zuni's is pretty rare. They’re still there to use.

If it wasn’t officially announced, what was it doing in the “what we’re gonna do” video? Also to others, Early-A was a later addition too. It was B, late A, forestall, and some AI A-6. That’s all that was in the initial plan.

I mean, ask in the server. Some assets are set to invincible in a number of servers I’ve used. Especially AAR because nothing cures frustration like a full mag dump.

Phoenix is all on ED.

Isn’t that already available? I have one or one very much like it living in my “Someday when I get a 500x500x500mm Core XY” folder.

F4 Jester isn’t a RIO. It’s a Weapons Systems Officer. The Airforce had different priorities and crew concepts from the Navy especially in the F-4 days. Front seat fought, back seat bombed and supported the radar.

Be nice if there was anything prepared to follow up the video with. As opposed to “I donno…….Maaaaaaaayyyyybe…….”

It’s the F-14B(U) upgrade. “Sparrowhawk”. best images are in back of the JADAM paper https://trace.tennessee.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=3487&context=utk_gradthes

Yes full OFP321 includes HUD and JDAM. As well as CDNU and GPS from OFP320.

Meaning it’s a Light feature, meaning it isn’t an easy fix because dcs cockpit lighting and the F-14 are barely on speaking terms.

Weird

Once you see “this is on the DCS side” there’s literally nothing Heatblur can do, and DCS is on DCS’s “schedule” so expect delivery some time between Two Weeks, and the heat death of the universe. Also I thought Razbam did SA map? Orbix did Kola.

Dig harder, it's floating around a couple places. Be sure to use WEB search not the now default <profanity>ty AI "search" that the big search pages default to now.

Yea gotta let Jester finish the job it's doing before you plow more work on.

It’s to do with the shockwave building up in-front of the aircraft at transonic speeds. The air is “pilling up” in front of you becoming denser and air density going up means drag goes up. Once you break through to supersonic speeds the shockwave front is sort of “behind” you. You’re still plowing through the air hard. But the build up is managed by the specific design of the airframe for supersonic flight. So your drag is max at transonic speeds. And it’s past M1.0 because the airspeed on the gauge isn’t Equivalent airspeed it hasn’t been corrected for Density or Compressibility. And transonic that can matter especially with static port position as you overrun your bow shockwave.

Carrier Datalink?

Think of the poor Viggen fans. It’s STILL in “early” access. And this is all pre whatever nightmare the Vulkan switch over is going to be. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate them having the respect to not Retcon their “early access” features unlike a certain now ghost dev. But man, I’ve seen and Been the instigator of some serious mission creep in my time. The saving grace being I had hard deadlines for most of it, so there was a no flex wrap up date that HAD to be hit forcing the projects to cut over ambitious plans. And there’s a lot of polish at the end of early access that’s becoming quite a long list, and I don’t feel like waiting another 2 years for them to write the Sparrowhawk and PTID, build the full playable A-6 just to get the AI asset, or re-build the model again so the ugly glove vanes can be on there just to wait for Input binds, or a revised Manual.

Gotta use the search engines. They can’t be posted or linked here. Just search for NAVAIR 01-F14AAA-1.1 pdf. Also don’t forget the Tomcat’s original job, fleet defense intercept. Then the goal is to get to the bombers faster than they get to you.

The course line doesn’t represent magnetic (at least it shouldn’t) but you have to fly to center the needle on a set radial, not use it as an HSI. Whatever weird looking heading gives you an outbound course on the BRC radial you just hold even if it looks way out of whack.

Oh this again.

My concern is unstoppable mission creep meaning it never gets finished and more and more resources get spread thinner. AI Draken AI Intruder AI Intruder tanker Then early A, Persian cat, glove vanes, Jester update…..etc etc… Mission Creep for sprinkles.

No you’re right, this is enterprise critical serious business here playing make pretend airplane. /s

If you want real, you gotta go get the NATOPS publications and run the charts like a real live boy. NAVAIR 01-F14AAA-1.1 NAVAIR 01-F14AAP-1.1 Gotta search em, we can’t post em here. Rule of thumb speeds are not “official”
