Tirak Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 So is this capability planned as part of the module now officially, and is it expected at early access launch or not expected until after the early access development cycle is under way? I need to update my chart.

Silvern Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 I wasn't planning on buying the Tomcat because I thought it wouldn't have LANTIRN. Now I will be your No.1 customer. :)
mattebubben Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 How far along is its implementation? Can we expect the Lantirn on the initial release?
Reflected Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Fantastic! Thanks for sharing! Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord
Boberro Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 This image looks not so fancy, it looks more like DCS implementation (so very simple), than real one. But I presume you know that so it is just very alpha state of Lantirn, final version will be much more realistic. Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make... HISTORY! :D | Also to be remembered: FRENCH TANKS HAVE ONE GEAR FORWARD AND FIVE BACKWARD :D ಠ_ಠ ツ
ben_der Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 FLIR Imaging has to be overhauled by ED, I guess Heatblur can't do much how the Graphics Engine renders such effects. They can only tweak them a bit but not overhaul the shader. But ED has already announced that FLIR Imaging will be reworked one day :smartass:
crow0827 Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Nice work, Heatblur! I have a question. what lines are in the image?
Moafuleum Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Nice work, Heatblur! I have a question. what lines are in the image? I was told on a FB Group that it represents the approximate blast radius of the weapon being employed* (*Not responsible for errors or omissions) ;)
NeilWillis Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Nice! :thumbup: :thumbup: Day one pre-release purchase - not that it wasn't already!
BritTorrent Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Jesus Cobra you guys are just pressing all the right buttons. I'm so ridiculously excited for this plane.

Arekushi Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Nice work, Heatblur! I have a question. what lines are in the image? I think the lines you're talking about are the limit of the pod before the image is being masked by the aircraft. The blast radius circle was implemented with the Sniper XR if I recall well. 1
OnlyforDCS Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 So many groundpounders here. Lol.....not gonna be in any of my loadouts ;) Nice of Heatblur to be doing this, not that it was in any way required or even needed, I think its fair to say its much appreciated.

MrDieing Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 So many groundpounders here. Lol.....not gonna be in any of my loadouts ;) Same here, Im quite sure she is called the F-14, not the A-14 :D All fun aside, very nice gesture and looking good HB! My money is burning in my wallet..

gyrovague Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Nice work, Heatblur! I have a question. what lines are in the image? These lines are the mask avoidance curve AFAIK, shows where the aircraft will be masking the laser or IR video. They're not accurately positioned yet, just placeholder currently from video footage. If our model of LANTIRN Targeting System and pylon and F-14 external is all correct, "in theory" our mask avoidance curve will look the same. ____________ Heatblur Simulations [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Raven (Elysian Angel) Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 This is absolutely brilliant!

amalahama Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 Wow very cool HB!!! Keep it rolling! To the F-14 pros out there, is the F-14A LANTIRN capable or it's a toy for -Bs only? Regards
Vampyre Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 Wow very cool HB!!! Keep it rolling! To the F-14 pros out there, is the F-14A LANTIRN capable or it's a toy for -Bs only? Regards It'll be a F-14B only if Heatblur are still making a mid-80's F-14A and a mid-90's F-14B. Truly superior pilots are those that use their superior judgment to avoid those situations where they might have to use their superior skills.
