Yes, supersonic PFM was one of showstoppers. That is why F-15C/F-5E FMs were worked on before F/A-18C FM. We needed the tech to grow and to become mature.

 

I imagine there has been a few challenges for the Hornet :)

 

But that is fun right?

Yes, it is a great pleasure to work on it :)

I know the hornet per say might have not taking that long but possibly the tech its needed is the bulk of the tough work.

 

Question, Does this underlying engine rebuild means that it will shorten the development time frame for future products? or will we only see ED push out a "complex" product every 3-5 years?

Well, F/A-18C is going to have 'a full pack' of complex features needed for other modern jets - AG radar, JHMCS, Link 4/16, HUD repeater, automatic landing, AA radar + long range missiles, 3 displays in the cockpit (one with different rendering method), 2 mission computers, Digital FCS, supersonic flight, arrested landings, HARM, Walleye, JDAM/JSOW, etc... So, yes new compex products will be done faster after F/A-18C.

It's hard waiting for all of us, I know this module will be my main plane for sometime to come I think....

As i said, all the things needed for the F-16C :lol:

Technically, ED was working on a F-16 before an F/A-18

really this is news to my ear I was told that it would never happen

By Who? Unless it came from Wags or Chizh... or another ED Team Member, it's not Official.

 

The F-16C was in WiP in 2008, and then placed on Hold, the 3D Model was being Replaced as well.

by the community and stuff that i read in the forms

I also read an article stating that the project was shut down

I also thought it would be classified???

[DocSigma]

IIRC just after the A10C went up for pre-purchase there was a great looking external of an F16 floating around.

I know you probably won't say but are you guys planning on bringing it back into project

Again, Unless it Comes from Wags, Chizh or another ED Team Member, it's not Official.

 

The F-16C Development was Put on Hold, and was mentioned by a team member that it is still being worked on progress unknown, likely waiting for F/A-18C to finish w/ A2G Radar Super Sonic PFM w/ FCS etc etc.

Dont Quote me on that though, until ED Confirms it's still being developed for the Consumer Market.

[RyboPops]

JHMCS, Link 4/16,

 

Tears of joy.

 

automatic landing

 

MOAR TEARS!

 

I think I'm going to have to resign as (INSERT CIVILIAN FLIGHT SIM MADE BY LARGE DEFENSE CONTRACTOR WHO HAPPENS TO BE MY EMPLOYER HERE) beta tester in the near future so I have more time for cat shots and traps and all the fun stuff in between.

well that's great news to my ears I would love to have an F-16 no disrespect to bms but I think it would bring a lot of people to our community as well

Let's not Derail the thread too much though.

 

Tomorrow is lookin' Like a Carrier Ops Day..

Thank you for the answer, Yes That was my prediction having a solid base line for modern aircraft is for sure the toughest part of the job.

 

1 Final question, and this one has been a question on my mind for years with DCS. As some one who plays exclusively PVP online.

 

-Any hope of seeing a redfor multi role, or even DCS or FC3 redfor multi roles in the near future "by DCS standards", The Mplayer Arena in DCS is painfully lacking such a platform and with several 3PD bringing some amazing bluefor products i fear it will just get worse for online preference.

By that logic ... we still can hope for an AH-64 in the coming decades?

Can't wait to see the Carrier in action and naval ops in general.

The F-18 is going to add a whole new dimension to DCS and with the Harrier and F-14 coming too !!!! DCS future is looking awesome.

All I ask is to watch some poor saps plow into the back of the carrier tomorrow. :P Though I hear the arresting wire physics are pretty cool... Maybe we'll see a bit of both!

Yeah would love to get some info on this as its will get pretty important for dcs multiplayer pretty soon. Especially big events like blueflag will be affected by it.

That carrier is going to have so many planes flying into it it would think it was teleported of the coast of Okinawa in 1945

[NineLine]

Only reason an aircraft would be off limits to ED is lack of info or legal complications. As far as I know the F-16 wouldnt have any of these issues, although I know little about the legal end of course. I know it doesnt matter what has been done in the past by other companies.

 

Anyways... lets get back to E3 stuff for this thread.
