Persian Gulf/Hornet Stream April 15th 9:00am PST (4:00pm GMT)

[NineLine]

The next Persian Gulf/DCS F/A-18C Steam will focus around the Persian Gulf Islands.

 

For this Stream we are requesting that if you like you may submit ONE question here and Wags will pick out a few questions to answer during the stream. Try and focus your questions on the subject he is showing off, the Persian Gulf and Hornet.

 

Again, please only submit one question, thanks guys!

 

[Vitormouraa]

What are the biggest challenges involving the DCS: F/A-18C and its development?

 

Thanks for the opportunity!

[VapoR]

Are the map making tools getting to a place where third parties could start making maps?

[Fallen_907]

Will the included air to air weapons of the hornet include reworked flight performance data? or will they mirror the existing stuff found on the F15?

[recoil17]

If you simultaneously dump fuel while making a high angle of attack with the afterburners lit, is it possible for the fuel being dumped to ignite?

 

I ask because I seen a warning of this in the NATOPS manual.

[schroedi]

In the last live stream you mentioned that the Persian Gulf map may be extended to the north and/or west, does this mean we can hope for Quatar or even Bahrain or is it "only" more cities and airfields placed to the north and west on the current map?

[Bigskill]

What Red Plane can be an even fight against F18 , F 15, in multiplayer? F15 is broken right now , you add F18 (Cant wait to fly it) but what about the opposite faction (Red)??

Are there any plan to add or release valid option that can fight back the F18? A fully clickable 4gen Russian Plane maybe?

 

Thank you.

[Gandalf_56]

Are we going to have IFLOLS and carrier box lights on runways or at least in some of them?

 

Thank you for all the Hornet updates and the livestreams

[smnwrx]

Noticed in the flight demo there where pylons on the aircraft. Slick aircraft planned? Thanks team, keep making dreams come true.

[carss]

Could you please name a few units that might be in the new assets for this map. Also will those assets have to be bought separately or will they be included in the updates?

 

Suggestion: In this livestream (or another) could you show off maybe one of the upcoming AI assets of the Gulf map? [EG refuel your Hornet from an Iranian or Saudi Arabian Tanker (if it's included)]

Will the Hornet be initially available in 2.5 Stable or only Open Beta? I would like to only have one version of the World on my rig at this point but still have early access to the Hornet. Is that going to be possible?

[Tread_Head57]

The soon-to-be released F-18 joins the A10C, Harrier, Mirage 2K, F5 and upcoming F14, F4 and F16 as full fidelity western/NATO modules. The "red" side has only the Mig-15, 21 and soon the MIG-19. What are ED's thoughts on this disparity and is there any concerted effort to bring more modern ex-Soviet aircraft to DCS in order to provide a more complete simulation?

[Blinxis]

With the long coastlines, multiple islands, and strategic shipping lanes being the larger focus items for the map, will there be coastal defense cruise missiles implemented at a later date?

[JG54_NF2]

With regard to the new aircraft carrier model, how to obtain it, and whether the function of the aircraft carrier parking position in the editor has been improved, can it support the parking of more aircraft born by players?

[JG54_NF2]

In addition, the number of inland airports in the Persian Gulf is relatively small and it can be increased. If the mission of the Persian Gulf is needed in the future, these coastal airports may be the targets of cruise missiles.

[elsoar]

Why are there no forums in Arabic, I'm Arab and I do not find support here.

[RED]

Hey Matt,

do you have plans to do a more complete TACAN Tutorial for the Hornet with things like ARCING methods, RADIAL TO ARC Intercept and so on that are important flying around the "boat"?

[AndyE]

Hi Matt,

Are there any plans to implement unique call signs for the Hornet, like the A-10?

[Texac]

Noticed in the flight demo there where pylons on the aircraft. Slick aircraft planned? Thanks team, keep making dreams come true.

 

This question is already covered in the FAQ.

Will there be huge waves during bad weather like on the Normandy map ? This could add a lot of fun to carrier operations, in addition to night operations !

[Silver_Dragon]

Are the map making tools getting to a place where third parties could start making maps?

 

Actually the map making tools have been get to the 3rd parties, making maps (Ugla Media and Normandy map). if others 3rd parties has get the SDK and making maps actually is unknown.

[Silver_Dragon]

Will the Hornet be initially available in 2.5 Stable or only Open Beta? I would like to only have one version of the World on my rig at this point but still have early access to the Hornet. Is that going to be possible?

 

Always the DCS World modules coming first to the Open Beta and after bug fixing, will be release to stable version.

[OttoPus]

Some streams ( and newsletter ) ago were stated that the sound department is in the process of enhancement.

 

Can we get some more juicy details about this aspect and what to expect in the future?

 

Thanks!

[Ircghost]

Hi!

 

Is there any information regarding the buying options of the new map? Will it be included with the f/a-18? If so, only during pre-release? Or do you expect combo deals at release?

[bephanten]

Does the new map technology include bathymetry data for water?
