The biggest question for me as well, in regards to any purchase. Hopefully, we'll see a good Q&A on the module's progression soon.

They do that every time I try to land :D

Does raise questions on how we will go from hanger to deck? I'm guessing that's towed operation for the most part in RL. As it's not part of the EA release...just the catapult crew(s) are...hopefully there'll be more news on that in the future.

Yet, I could have used my new Miles for any purchase(s) while they were on sale, because that option showed up.

Even if they made a new Stennis, it would be a NEW Stennis and mission makers would have to change every mission. Now, REPLACING the current Stennis with a newer model, if that's what you meant...one more up to the correct scale...would be nice.

Bump. There's NO option to submit a Help Ticket over this without some sort of attachment. Is ED just making it impossible to use these points that have been earned through countless purchases? Edit -Does anyone have a mailing address for ED?

Thanks, Bignewy, but it doesn't. It's got nothing to do with third party modules, it's got to do with the inability to select the Bonus Points I have when checking out. I can use the Miles fine to augment any purchase I make, but the older Bonus Points? There's no possibility to select them at all. Looks like ED is hoping that we that have them just forget about those bonuses or something. Not gonna happen. :D

I have $12.00 in Bonus Points that will expire next year and would like to use them, but there is no option to use them when checking out. I'm not talking about the new Miles program, I'm talking about the program you got rid of for the Miles one. I have a legitimately accrued bonus that I'm currently unable to use, which isn't acceptable.

I think the differences are subtle. Think. :) Sure, there will be correct deck markings for each, CVN-71's deck is in the video, along with correct crewman markings, but I believe the three are pretty much built identical, hull wise. Even has the steering pole. :D

The three being modeled are of the Roosevelt subclass of the Nimitz, of which there are 5 total, including CVN-74 (Stennis currently in game) and CVN-75. They have improvements over the 3 previous carriers, the Nimitz subclass, CVN-68 to 70, as improvements are always learned after the fact. The last two are the Reagan subclass I believe it is, with further changes/improvements.

Answers that question, thank you sir. Always wondered why including CVN-74 was needed and initially included, since it was already in DCS World.

I'm hoping it's a fully interactive crew, having stages of the taxi/align/hookup/launch sequence you go through before the shot. My main one is the guy telling me where to stop to hook up to the catapult. Too many times, I've gone past that point. THAT alone will be worth the super dent Supercarrier will probably put in my monthly gaming budget when it comes out. :D

At the end, it listed the first 3 carriers in the Roosevelt sub-class, but not CVN-74, our already beloved, and yes smaller, John C. Stennis and CVN-75. ;) Are there still plans to have all 5 in that class as part of the Supercarrier package and the latter two added in development or will it just be the first three, since CVN-74 is already in DCS World?

My biggest question is are the crew interactive? If you're off to one side on approach to a catapult, do they correct your alignment with hand signals or is it just a static animation that's played regardless of your position?

Was wondering if there's a list of all the items in the Chinese Asset Pack? Thanks. :)

That's what I took from it, their web purchasing more oriented for the Chinese market.

In the translation, it said we would be able to purchase it one day early on their website, which was a WIP, but we wouldn't get it any sooner than the 4th. I'll dig up a link to the translation when I get a chance. Edit - Original interview in Chinese - https://www.bilibili.com/read/cv4051559 Translation - Q: When will it be on sale? A: 12/4, but one day early if you buy it through us. We will tell you how that works in detail in one to two days, but if you buy through STEAM then you can't buy through us. Was the second question asked, or at least translated.

Wonderful work. :) Any chance you've got a C-17 hidden somewhere? It and the S-3 may be the two ugliest AI models left from the old days.

I'm grateful for the debut price, Deka. I would have, and fully expected to, paid the full price on December 4th myself. Thanks! :)

Most current popular games have some sort of in-game communications system. ED's just catching up with the times is all. I don't think there's a nefarious intent on their part here. :)

I can't agree more, I've used Saitek sticks for over 20 years and have no problem buying another one. I have a brand new Warthog in the box (Walmart $299 sale, be sure to look at Walmart online on/around Black Friday), and have no desire to give up my X56 for it.

With the new TWS/Datalink videos out, we've all seen that lovely new 3D model with external lighting so will we see the template for it soon, some time after the OB's debut on the 27th'ish?

How long has it been in QA now?

According to ED, we're getting the Roosevelt sub-class of the Nimitz, consisting of 5 ships total, all with distinct liveries.

Lately, after engaging a target, if I try to lock another target on, say a 2B/40km sweep, the radar scale will jump to 80 or even 160 if there are other targets along that axis. I won't even see another target on the radar scope except the one I'm going to lock and then, all of a sudden, the radar will change to a further out scale, such as 80, locking another target MUCH farther past my intended one. It's only AFTER I've engaged a previous target that this happens. Is there some radar change/setting I'm missing, as it didn't do that before?
