Not much contest there in terms of sensor integration. Superhornet MSI tops F15E sensor fusion, Although not sensor raw performance. Enviado desde mi ELE-L29 mediante Tapatalk

there already a video above showing the speed of the TDC, now it is indeed a bit too slow, or at least is not possible to bump it quick enough. Enviado desde mi ELE-L29 mediante Tapatalk

not yet, is coming later in EA. You should be looking at JTIDS page. Enviado desde mi ELE-L29 mediante Tapatalk

Clean jet? Have you check the bindings? I had to adjust the afterburner cutoff level cause I was actually in afterburner with the detent of my Virpil Cm3. Although M1.03 should be possible in a clean jet at angels 28 with those powerfuls PW229. Hornet and viper also supercruise when clean and medium fuel load.

Hello ED,all, Recently I've had the opportunity to get back to some SP gameplay which i had abandoned for ages in favour of MP gameplay. However some good campagins which i wanted to try made me give it a try again. Well, i must confess, i didn't remember how barebones current DCS flight radio control system and in general AI flight behavior was. Let me summarize some very basic points missing for several years now: No command to fence in? Can't turn my flight to turn off their light, activate jammer... Missing any basic BVR tactics even basic ones: chainsaw, banzai, a basic grinder No ROE or similar that let me tell them how agressive i want them to be No A2G tactics available, impossible to tell your wingman if you expect them to loft their bomb and avoid stupidly overflyin a target full of manpads. Apart from some basic radio commands for that, some AI behavior is misisng the I on it: AI is not able to follow you on trail if you are low or in a valley AI still run out of fuel and eject AI run into a Radar SAM defended area and dies following bandits AI refuses to rejoin AI still report threats 150km away... I really think this is an area of the game that needs some love, and i really can't see how a DC could work in the current state of things, its really a challenge to keep the wingman alive in any mission.

guys you need to stop looking at Wikipedia figures, or you'll be a pretty anger customer later, asking why your F15E full of bombs is not doing M2.5 at 100ft [emoji23]. Rarely you'll manage more than M1.5 in any minimum tealistic/tactical scenario. The hornet IS slower than a F15E, but perfectly capable of M1.5 with an A2A only loadout. It'll get there later than a f15e in the same configuration for sure. Enviado desde mi ELE-L29 mediante Tapatalk

you can try fly really low, maverick style low, at 20/30ft the sa10 won't launch on you Enviado desde mi ELE-L29 mediante Tapatalk

I had some flight tests yesterday, detection rangesin HI prf for the hornet are definetely better than before the patch. Also tried some high to low scenario (Hornet angels 26, hot f16 coming at 500ft AGL, and i had no problem picking him up on radar on HI PRF and VS mode a bit further than 40nm I think. VS mode is particulary good at picking hot very fast target, you get good hits over 50nm for fighter size targets, which is great.

Great discussion, I hope it can keep up to get the best existing simulation in a consumer product. 2 things strike my mind after reading ED whitepaper: 1-According to the graph the Apg73 has better detection range that the Apg63 all things considered? (diff. in Antenna diameter, peak power...), as far as I remember the ranges are lower to some known as the public data 2-I see no reference 8n the paper to difference in detection range in look down and look up situations close to the ground, coming from side lobe interference, is that a phase 2 feature? what should we expect for the time being? Enviado desde mi ELE-L29 mediante Tapatalk

I guess that means they just included the new mode but under the same radar framework code. It is supposed to change in the future. Hi PRF modes like VRS should pick fast hot target a bit earlier than MPRF modes. Enviado desde mi ELE-L29 mediante Tapatalk

Is this coming with the new first iteration of the new radar framework announced in the last newsletter? or is that coming later?

I'd like this new framework to gradually translate to existing modules, even FC3. I understand that is not feasible without somekind of financial support, so maybe from 2025 onwards when FC3 models will be in desperate need of a cockpit retexturing/remodelling ED will take every update done through the years, like the updated radar framework and pack it in a budget friendly FC4 product.

Resources, which mean free time of the team members in charge of the weapons systems. They'll come at some point.

I think that is doomed to dissappear at some point down the road Enviado desde mi ELE-L29 mediante Tapatalk

That would be nice, it would open up so many tactical considerations for low level flying, I think the mirage 2000 from Razbam already simulates this which is neat. Enviado desde mi ELE-L29 mediante Tapatalk

@BIGNEWY thanks a lot and cheers to the team, lovely info. Enviado desde mi ELE-L29 mediante Tapatalk

Thanks Nineline, I'm sure the team is busy and appreciate the feedback, if I may ask for something, for me part of the fun is also reading about what has been developed, kind of a white paper style as the team did for the Amraam refactoring some years ago. I really enjoyed that as much as just receiving the patch with the changes. If you have the opportunity please let the team know some of us would love something like this. Enviado desde mi ELE-L29 mediante Tapatalk

The real aircraft has what you'd call in windows mouse acceleration, basically is sense pressure so can be extremely fast when needed or extremely precise if force applied is subtle. In this video you can kind of see how the tdc accelarates in certain moments.

I would be happy enough with a newsletter chapter explaining which are the main items being refactored and how ambitious is ED on this. What things like scan azimuth means in this context, what was wrong about that (:/?) What about probabilities of detection, detecting chaff, behavior of prf other than different baked in detection ranges, introduction to basic RCS changes depending on aspect...

I like your outdoor activities definition sir, my respect

If it comes in July the preview access to youtubers creators this week is not very thoroughly thought if you ask me. I'm still counting this will come earlier. No one in the team said "Guys are all the EA buyers a bit pissed off not having the plane but watching YT content for 2 months? Nahh hand me another beer! XD In anycase its ok for me, I can waste my flying time mastering other jets I almost never fly.

Well, it's coming this Wednesday/Thursday so little time left to suffer. *Source*: None, My intuition given known material, and the release to content creators. I expect a cold start video from RB probably Monday/Tuesday. Enviado desde mi ELE-L29 mediante Tapatalk

Why are you screaming? [emoji854] Enviado desde mi ELE-L29 mediante Tapatalk

I understand. Don't take it as a rant, just a suggestion to better handle customer expectations. In fact maybe worth exploring giving a planned window a bit wider (eg. Next patch: "estimated week 15th-19th") but then putting this a bit earlier, not the same day it happens. This has one additional positive psychological effect, it generates the surprise factor of not knowing whether the patch will be Tuesday, Wednesday... which mean more healthy hype and more room for the devs when bugs appear. Enviado desde mi ELE-L29 mediante Tapatalk

@BIGNEWY if i may put in here some positive criticism related to the PATCH STATUS thread, it does not make a lot of sense to leave the planned date unknown until the very same date of the patch, only for some hours later delay to the next day. What i mean is, i know that is wishful planning when things can go wrong, so if a patch was expected for today you could very well update that on Monday or past Friday, and if its delay all is fine. Otherwise it kind of defeats the purpose of that thread as a public planning reference to check.
