Then stop reading threads that will only necessitate you into arguing with us common soup brains... I completely agree with OP, it's frustrating to have weeks go by and be unable to use the product as intended, then to hear about the issues we will face with the Supercarrier module. Fingers crossed for the Forrestal in the coming few weeks...

Agreed, it would be a waste of their time to work on an unarmed (for the most part) transport aircraft. V-22s have game-changing, real-world applications, but not one that translates very well into video games.

I think you're one of the first people I've heard of that actually uses the moving map

Although this is the logical course of action, might not be the best way to do business. Why would someone buy Supercarrier if they already own the Tomcat and the Forrestal is released the same week? Here's to hoping we get a proper update from Cobra and Heatblur this month with some news and a roadmap.

That is fantastic, thank you for sharing that

There isnt much to keep up to date on currently...

Yes.

This isn't my video, therefor I do not have the raw audio 5MC comm from the start of the video.

Although not essential, and I don't imagine we will see this in EA, I would like to see this as a feature for sure! Something similar to this (49 seconds) would be awesome!

I think this'll be out of HB's hands and an issue with ED. The AI doesn't seem to understand how to operate the F-14 very well from what

This isn't totally related to Sidewinder v Sparrow, but this gives amazing first hand insight into the shootdown of a Syrian Su-22 by VFA-87:

Have you posted a track file anywhere?

The Forrestal will be nice, hopefully it won't rely solely on EDs code for the principal features.

Thanks for the updates. Hopefully some optimization went on under the hood!

I believe there is a setting in the "Gameplay" options to hide control stick that is not module-based, I haven't used it so I'm not sure what it accomplishes, but might be what you're looking for.

Yes, as can be observed here at 1:52:

How high of speed? What's your angle of bank? What G are you hitting? The Tomcat lacks any of the Hornets fancy, safe FBW control limits so it will fly very different

I actually hadn't seen that, looks like very exciting stuff. I like these Deka folks.

The back seat is where the real men work ;)

I imagine that would likely come before a new AI aircraft

I don't know, when the J-15 is in game we might see something different. Not even sure if it's been confirmed the 15 is being developed. You must have more information than I do.

How will the AI aircraft interact with static aircraft on the carrier deck? Will they still taxi and launch through a row of static F-18s lining Cat 2 like they do currently? Additionally will we be able to prevent launches from certain cats? Will we be able to only allow AI launches from Cats 1&2 to prevent aircraft from crossing the landing area during recovery operations?

Pakistan flies the Il-78 so I don't imagine we'll see it anytime soon...

Based on how 3rd parties have integrated ED's APIs such as the new Ground Radar API in the JF-17, one would certainly hope that Heatblur and ED are working in parallel to get both the Forrestal and Super Carrier released ASAP.

I've had this issue numerous times. I haven't found a fix other than abandoning the mission...
