AIM-9X development with the Hornet.

[BlazingTrigger]

Hello,

 

I've trawled the forums for what block of 9X missile we're getting in-game, a lot of threads are in Russian and I can't see any others that specify what block we'll get. Can anyone shed some light on this topic?

They bill it as a "mid-2000s" version of the plane here, which would mean Block 1 but it's just a guess.

I am sure as more info is released in mini-updates or by Wags' videos, we will get more nitty gritty info on this stuff.

The real question is will our 9X get spoofed by dirty ol' Russian flares!

[1stBEAST]

if it is simulated correctly, then yes :-D

Real question is "will our AI Fitters actually pop flares when engaged".

 

:D

 

The X-ray is gonna be fun!

I think the IR missiles are the only air to air missiles simulated correctly in the first place.

i'll reserve that qualification for after they get clouds to interfere properly

[blkspade]

Well that's a separate problem, of clouds being drawn as a figment of our imaginations.

One thing I've wondered is if DCS goes through the trouble to model the helmet mounted sight and the Aim9x for the Hornet, will they move that over to the F15C as well, which has that same missile and helmet system?

The last we heard is there were no plans at this time. My guess is it will come if, most likely when, we get a full fidelity DCS F-15C/E module.
