wilky510 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 (edited) Thanks for the update Wags, that's exactly the information i was looking for. Maybe when you guys feel ready, can we shed some light on exactly what's going down on the Su-33/MiG-29 PFM/AFM? All we got was "su-33 PFM/AFM is coming" and haven't heard from it since. What PFM/AFM will we get first for the MiG-29? A? S? Will we get both at all? Not exactly looking for release dates on them, just some more information.

USSInchon Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Yay a feeding of the great unclean hordes. Great to hear they are moving along swimmingly. Hopefully soon we can see some examples of the functionality of the systems they have been modeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkateZilla Posted August 11, 2016 Author Share Posted August 11, 2016 (edited) JHMCS = Joint Helment Mounted Cueing System. Will it include NVCD? Night Vision Cueing and Display? Somehow I thought we would be further along at this point but All Good. Thanks for the news on this much anticipated Module! All of the Above systems are required to integrate the Professional Flight Model, other systems were said to be integrated already (which systems and how many were not specified), and the HUD and symbology linked to those systems is being done. the Hydraulic, Gear, and Electrical tie into the PFM, which is a main Part of the Module.

ED Team NineLine Posted August 11, 2016 ED Team Share Posted August 11, 2016 (edited) No word on the ground radar? Is that good news or not? I thought that was a major factor according to earlier posts when it came to finishing the Hornet. Why would the do a Hornet without ground radar? That is pretty much the reason for them developing ground radar.... We dont need to be reminded of each feature every time the Hornet is mentioned... we already know that is a thing.

We dont need to be reminded of each feature every time the Hornet is mentioned... we already know that is a thing. Not sure what you are talking about, did I say something wrong? Wags mentions specific systems, but what seems like the biggest and most impressive one is absent. It is a feature that is a big deal for not only the Hornet, but also a factor in the development of several other DCS projects. Since there is, like you say, no Hornet without the ground radar it is surprising to me that there is no news on it. I certaintly see it as a massive leap for DCS if it is indeed on track. It seemed like an especially big deal in one of the previous updates, so seeing nothing here nothing mentioned on it is either a good or a bad thing. Is it crazy that I'm interested in how its going with such an important DCS milestone? Edited August 11, 2016 by iLOVEwindmills 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We dont need to be reminded of each feature every time the Hornet is mentioned... we already know that is a thing. IMO i think talking about the ground radar is not such a bad thing as it ties with lots of possible 3rd party devs projects. I mean Wags amd ED is free to talk about what they want, and as a fan hoping for more info is never a bad thing about a product. its quite a good thing, and hows interest.

Wags' update wasn't a top to bottom synopsis of the project but just a quick blurb. No specific mention of the radar or any other sub-system carries no additional or hidden meaning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specter1075 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 It's more the part where you asked if the lack of a mention is a good or bad thing. That's why Sithspawn replied as he did. You then seemed to not understand why he took the tone he did, so I explained that you came across as trying to read too much into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bart Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 (edited) Nice little update there by Wags today on the F18 :thumbup: much appreciated. However, all I want in my stocking at the moment is a Spitfire! I think they must have forgotten all about her as no news "direct" from ED for 17 weeks now :( Looks like we may well be lucky to get her in a Christmas stocking! In fact if we get her before Christmas I'll eat said stocking!!! Here's hoping for some news on the old girl in tomorrow's newsletter :music_whistling: Edited August 11, 2016 by bart System :- i7-12700K 3.6 GHz 12 core, ASUS ROG Strix Z690-A Gaming, 64GB Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 3200MHz, 24GB Asus ROG Strix Geforce RTX 3090, 1x 500GB Samsung 980 PRO M.2, 1x 2TB Samsung 980 PRO M.2, Corsair 1000W RMx Series Modular 80 Plus Gold PSU, Windows 10.
