Great to see the amount of effort, which all involved put into this :)

Nice :D How much will it cost? XD

 

$50 for the DCS: AIM-54 Phoenix and it will be released in Two Weeks.

ED has a say on pretty much everything from the 3rd parties.

 

Agreed. It does sound like LNS is going to another level of flight model development to bring this missile into DCSW. This is the first I ever read about any of the teams, including ED, using CFD to aid in the development process. This is some serious business and I wonder if the environment in DCSW is being enhanced or currently able to support some of the factors mentioned by Cobra in this update. Regardless, I can appreciate the attention to detail that LNS has for this potential game changer. Thanks for the update Cobra and I hope to see this soon, but it sounds like a ton of work to be done still. Do your best team. It's appreciated. :thumbup:

[Fracture]

Sounds good, patiently awaiting that buy now button.

[Revelation]

Is that statement confirmed by devs or something? would like a source on what ED has say on or not.

 

Thank you in advance

 

It was a statement made by Wags. I cannot remember if it was in an old video or a post. You are more than welcome to search for it.

God I love the attention to detail in the 54 flight profiles! Let's hope LNS don't get overruled on this! If aim54 motors burn out after 5 seconds and can't reach something 10nm away....

[Shadowless]

Great job! What is the software to make the mesh? I only have some experience on ICEM.

[StandingCow]

Wow, excellent and detailed update. :D

 

Looking forward to the F14!

[QJW]

This is awesome news. Glad to hear you guys are moving along quite well. Can't wait till you guys release this beauty :D

We don't use CFD for the aircraft. We have plenty of real windtunnel test data for this.

[Tello]

Great read! I wish you the best process onward. But flying the Mig-21 I fail to see how any module ever created after can top the Fishbed :P please prove me wrong ;) (I can't even imagine)

If people moan that means they did it right. ;-)

[Coxy_99]

Lol true @Cobra847 will these leave a contrail?

[Gaanalma]

[LeCuvier]

Very interesting reading, and an example of the amount of knowledge and effort required for these sims.

Thanks!

[Pocket Sized]

Lol true @Cobra847 will these leave a contrail?

 

Most certainly. For long range shots the enemy will be too far away to see it though.

[ebabil]

great update for missiles. will there be another update for plane itself in these days?

[Silver_Dragon]

surely, but has a great "To Do" to get more news:

- AJS-37 Viggen develop update

- F-14 develop update

- CV-60 and flight crew update

- Iwo Jima and F4u update

... and more, more and more :D
