Someone

I have some reason to believe that a video will be arriving within the next 12 or so hours.

The C-130 in some ways is a giant flight planning machine, so to use a tool like that would be missing out on alot of the experience. But, yes, it should work by default with it.

Regarding your preference for an earlier version of the Herc, I regret to inform you that if i had made such an aircraft, you would have been unable to operate it either a) without a full crew of humans b) within the next 5 years, as that's how long it would have taken me to implement a sufficiently advanced ai crew system to support you

I too, am curious.

That’s crazy

Your characterization here is not accurate.

I think all the questions have been answered.

Maybe. Not soon

JPADS is a more complicated topic, and isnt planned for the moment. However, its not used very frequently because you can get, in most situations, as close as you need with a normal carp solution. Of course things like weather affect the ballistics, and all of these factors are accounted for in the cni carp solution, as in the real plane. Regarding whether the points are "relayed to the hud", yes, of course. This is a full fidelity module, so in general, if a real c-130 does something, this (virtual) one does too. Two stage airdrops exist also.

Of course we have the red and green lights. They just had not been connected at the time of the trailer. But they are now integrated.

Yes, the current system for troops should work.

You are correct. We just meant that the missions are very dynamic and exciting.

Couple things: ED isnt implementing any engines. The Airplane Simulation Company is. But I am pleased to inform you that it is possible to bind throttles in any configuration!

yes, you can walk around in the loadmaster slot while the plane is airborne.

To manage expectations: Vehicles will 100% be transportable/airdroppable on release. Whether or not that means that you will see them drive up the ramp is a different question, and one I'm not prepared to answer. I'd like to do it, and I have a plan to do so, but its not the highest priority item on the outstanding work list.

Yea, it will come with the MC model. I didn't put it on the store page because honestly, I don't have a target date, and would rather just market the parts of the package i'm 100% sure of. I think they stand on their own.

Yep

You can bind the 1 axis to all 4, split them across 2, or have 4 individual binds. The world is your oyster.

I am, of course, joking

Unfortunately, unless you agree to come to asc headquarters for a laser scan, i wont be able to show your body in vr.

When its ready, we'll happily post it on our site.

You can absolutely fly it solo. There will be some crew assist features (copilot depressurizes plane/turns on aux pump pre-airdrop), but we dont have plans for a full blown AI crewmember.

The features that are listed here will all be available on release. The primary reason for the EA launch tag is inclusion (for free) of the MC-130J, which will come a bit later.

Why not start here:

The very same one
