FAQ: VEAO Typhoon for DCS World

Can we finish the Hawk first?

Parallel work, parallel teams, parallel timelines... It is like preparing meals in a kitchen, the guys are actually making, soups, beef, fish, vegetables, potatoes and dessert in parallel... And nobody complains they should "finish" the main course before preparing/starting on the dessert!

We had this BS comments on virtually every module be it ED, Belsimtek, Leathernecks or VEAO.

These are businesses, they have a business PLAN. They work like a business, not like a kindergarden project.

Parallelization of work is what business does.

Thanks for listening. :notworthy:

So, just to keep the thread alive... Any news about the Eurofighter? :P

in the March newsletter it was stated that work continues on the eurofighter, but that's about all.

Yep ongoing work on systems and new model.

Nothing to show at the moment.

Thanks for the reply Ells! Keep up the great job :thumbup:

Is there a targeted soft release date yet?

End of this year I'm aiming for.

Yes waiting for that to fly in formation with my Hawk EFM. :)

I'll certainly be interested to see how many of the on-ground only functions are implemented if any.

Not that I want to carry out my day job in a simulator or anything......

I am aware of the AG capabilities, though I haven't seen any mention of the AG synthetic apature radar mode, as the captor c is capable of. I take it it won't be modeled(because classified)?

It's more what is capable in DCS and what is classified.

We will do whatever we can to "simulate" the real thing.

:D

I can't see that from my phone, what is it??

Not worth the bother.

"Meaning?" Gif

:D

Meaning until DCS gets these advanced features in the game, we will not see any advance planes in this game.

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/EuroDASS_Praetorian

Its only available in german but use le google translator to get an rough idea what the DASS can pull off at least. When I did read it, i thought even if they have the clearance to implement all of that, the fidelity of ECM in DCS World probably cant handle that.

And if we get that level of detail on the DASS, well, the Eurofighter is going to be the biggest missile trash mobile in a long time. ;D

DASS is extremely powerful when you get into the nitty gritty of it.

Redundant answer, with all due respect.

Until someone finishes programming something, it won't be featured. Of course.

If one believes the release estimates, the hornet alpha should coincide with the typhoon. Ok. Alpha means probably no ground radar, but AFAK, it is planned for the Hornet, at least. So from a programming, technical point of view, it should then not ne a problem. If however a lot of the AG aspects are classified, that is a different story.

And it sounded like Chris is not sure which aspects can and cannot be implemented.

Which is why I jokingly posted the meme, trying to tickle out a more concrete answer.

Will we get any type of GBU with this jet?

Will we get any type of GBU with this jet?

Maybe! As explained in the very first post of this thread. Likely the Paveway II LGB... My guess, it depends on the weapons computer implementation and what the military allows to implement from that side. Given the level of detail we have on GBUs with the A-10C that may sound strange, but they have to honour the contract/NDA with the military, first.

"As mentioned before the VEAO Typhoon will simulate the aircraft as is in service with the RAF. That means weapons like the IRIS-T, GBU-10 or GBU-16 won’t be integrated. It can be confirmed that the EPW II won’t be integrated at this point either, but the team is looking at the possibility to implement the Paveway II and LDP. As development of air-to-ground capabilities hasn’t begun on behalf of the VEAO team time will show whether its implementation can be harmonized with the time scales envisaged. If not you’ll have to cope with an air-to-air only capable version of this aircraft. However, that doesn’t rule out the possibility of future additions."(...)

Well thts hopeful, im sure we can all live with the Pathways. Do these guide themselves?

Shagrat was talking about Paveway, not Pathway. :smartass:

The Paveway (again, as written above) is a Laser Guided Bomb (LGB) and needs laser illumination for guidance, either from the attacking aircraft itself, or another aircraft (buddy lasing), or someone on the ground. It can also be dropped ballistic but isn't nearly as accurate then.

If I'm not mistaken, the Paveway II is just another name for the GBU-10, GBU-12 and GBU-16 LGBs we already have in the game and that can be dropped from player controlled A-10C and M-2000C and from a variety of AI aircraft like the F-16 and the F/A-18.

The UK Paveway II is a 1000 lb class bomb similar to the GBU-16, but it uses a different bomb (not the US MK83 but the British equivalent).

Yep. This... similar bomb, but different brand, so to say. :D
