CybrSlydr Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 Question about this: "Last year we used the AIM-7 as a testbed to implement several air-to-air missile performance and guidance improvements. Early this year we will be doing the same for the AIM-120. The AIM-120 performance in 2020 will be closer to claimed specifications given adjustments to G-induced drag in the trans-sonic region, and we improved the efficiency of the lofting profile." I know the 120C the Viper and Hornet use just got a modest boost in performance, to what specs will the above modification to the weapon achieve?
Mr_sukebe Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 Wow, what a list. My thanks for also being a lot more cagey about expected delivery dates. That will hopefully reduce some of the noise. 7800x3d, 5080, 64GB, PCIE5 SSD - Oculus Pro - Moza (AB9), Virpil (Alpha, CM3, CM1 and CM2), WW (TOP and CP), TM (MFDs, Pendular Rudder), Tek Creations (F18 panel), Total Controls (Apache MFD), Jetseat
Shadow KT Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 I like how they mentioned that the MiG-23 is being developed by Razbam, as if that is a good thing :lol: Isn't the "Channel Map" be overstepping a lot of the same spots the Normandy map is ? Can't they be merged ? Besides the mentioned above super excited for Vulkan, especially the new lighting system and oh my... the AI, looking forward towards the new AI and Damage model, probably what I am most excited about, seconded by the engine (vulkan and lightning) changes 'Shadow' Everybody gotta be offended and take it personally now-a-days
TheGuardian Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 Holy crap, that is a lot of great information and plenty to look forward to in 2020. Gonna be a great year of flying. Congrats ED and all 3rd Party. Your work is greatly appreciated.

unknown Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 .... As with the new Nimitz-class aircraft carrier model for Supercarrier, the Kuznetsov and Arleigh Burke will be visible to all in multiplayer, regardless if you own the Supercarrier module.... A little question, because i'm not sure if i understand this correctly(i didn't follow the Supercarrier modul because i'm not interested in it). I need to buy the Supercarrier module to be able to use the new US carrier and the new/overhauled Kuznetsov? If i don't own that module i will be able to see them in MP, but i can't use the overhauled Kuznetsov in SP, it will be the "old" one? Modules: KA-50, A-10C, FC3, UH-1H, MI-8MTV2, CA, MIG-21bis, FW-190D9, Bf-109K4, F-86F, MIG-15bis, M-2000C, SA342 Gazelle, AJS-37 Viggen, F/A-18C, F-14, C-101, FW-190A8, F-16C, F-5E, JF-17, SC, Mi-24P Hind, AH-64D Apache, Mirage F1, F-4E Phantom II System: Win 11 Pro 64bit, Ryzen 3800X, 32gb RAM DDR4-3200, PowerColor Radeon RX 6900XT Red Devil ,1 x Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 2TB NVMe, 2 x Samsung SSD 2TB + 1TB SATA, MFG Crosswind Rudder Pedals - VIRPIL T-50CM and VIRPIL MongoosT-50 Throttle - HP Reverg G2, using only the latest Open Beta, DCS settings

Tippis Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) Aircraft Artificial Intelligence (AI) In 2019 we made initial improvements to the dogfight AI that delivers more realistic and human behaviour, this also includes implementation of modern control theory Necessary Condition Analysis (NCA) and Incremental Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion (INDI) to all our AI aircraft in DCS in 2020. The new approach will extend flight envelopes and improve AI control quality and control response in mass and moment of inertia changes. In 2020 we will continue this effort, but also devote resources to improve other AI areas to include: Beyond Visual Range (BVR) offensive and defensive behaviour Formation keeping and correct use of external lights Air-to-Ground attack maneuvers Very-low level flight and terrain following Defensive threat responses (SAM and AAA) …soooooo… will AI aircraft actually behave like the respective aircraft and no longer have access to infinite power? :P Unless “extended envelopes” and “improved controls” should be read as “not having nearly as much control and be far more limited in their envelopes”, those sound more like areas where the AI don't really need improved capabilities.

VDV Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 Great news by ED, but nothing about next OB update....when will be?
twistking Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 nice newletter. some very promising updates, but nothing about the yak-52 again. come one!!! My improved* wishlist after a decade with DCS *now with 17% more wishes compared to the original
ED Team NineLine Posted January 10, 2020 Author ED Team Posted January 10, 2020 I like how they mentioned that the MiG-23 is being developed by Razbam, as if that is a good thing :lol: Isn't the "Channel Map" be overstepping a lot of the same spots the Normandy map is ? Can't they be merged ? Besides the mentioned above super excited for Vulkan, especially the new lighting system and oh my... the AI, looking forward towards the new AI and Damage model, probably what I am most excited about, seconded by the engine (vulkan and lightning) changes No the Channel is a different area with high detailed zones in France and UK, wont be the same areas as the Normandy Map.

bart Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) Fantastic newsletter ED :thumbup: WW2 should see huge advances in both gameplay and immersion in the near future. I was sold anyway on the Supercarrier and Mosquito for this year, but you guy's also got me hooked for the new Channel map too which looks stunning BTW. Will be great for full intruder missions in the Mosquito from UK to northern France and back. Nice to see the core game getting some attention too, look forward to the new night lighting, hope it's a big improvement to what we have now which looks not so good flying at night in VR. Keep up the great work guy's :) Edited January 10, 2020 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.

They do good flight models and beautiful planes. Its advanced system coding that they struggle with and the Mig is relatively simple when compared to the harrier ARBS, TPOD, Etc.
robgraham Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 can we get some clarrification on this section @matt/newy/nine. the DCS: Supercarrier module will also include a greatly updated Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier (without deck animation), the Su-33 Flanker D for DCS World (for those of you who don’t already own it), and the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer! We already know that the Super Carrier will work with out making the mess that the WW2 objects pack did (really think you should have stuck with high poly for those who brought low poly for those who didn't with that), believe that with the carrier it's you bolter all the time and the cats etc don't work. how is the Burke working? is it just a free addition to ALL users DCS etc but not releasing until the Super Carrier or ???. some of this stuff needs to be maybe communicated a little better on how it's going to be implimented, because lord knows none of us who run servers want another WW2 Asset pack issue were we put in a unit accidently on a mission and suddenly half our users can't join it because they don't own that module. i7 13700k, 64gb DDR5, Warthog HOTAS, HP Reverb G2 VR, win 11, RTX 3070 TGW Dedicated Server Admin, Australian PVE/PVP gameplay.

JUICE-AWG Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 Why a DCS Channel Map when we already have the Normandy Map that covers almost the exact same area??? "There are only two types of aircraft, Fighters and Targets." Doyle "Wahoo" Nicholson [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

QuiGon Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 So much great stuff! Instead of just praising every single feature I will just say that I'm happy to see that ED is working to improve this sim at exactly the right spots and that gives me a lot of satisfaction and confidence about the future of DCS! :thumbup: Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!
wasizyayo Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 DCS: F/A-18C will receive a discount when purchasing DCS: Supercarrier. Does this also apply to steam?
