The Hornet Release Day Anticipation Thread

[Coxy_99]

I got 5 now, my best friend Mr Tigger passed 1 year ago. Thinking of stealing BIGNEWY's avatar!!

 

Yea i may get a cat there cool.

[Drapion]

elevator music definitely helping

 

Thought I was the only one still listening to it :)

[Wodzu]

Who else has a cat?

Can you imagine learning the avionics of the F-18 then regressing back to the Tomcat? Like going from the Dreamliner to the original 707

Yes I can. I'm actually looking forward to the F-14 and F-4 a lot more than the Hornet, just because they are more "pilot's airplanes" (aka no FBW).

As has been said by Bignewy that you did not want to add the @openbeta on to it - PERIOD. YOU tried to force the updater to update to a version that did not exist, that is YOUR FAULT.

 

 

That being said, in normal circumstances, runnig the command like he did on his latest OB install should yield the typical "version already is up to date" message and end the process instead of reverting back to some previous arbitray build. He does have a point here.

Just another cat. He's got some good 11 years on his back

Getting bored waiting, had to pull out my calculator...This thread has had an average of approximately 3.186646433990895 minutes between posts since it started 3 days ago. Think it’s down to a fraction of that in past 12 hours. Come on update, my fingers are getting tired!!

She does know this is the end of your marriage - right? :megalol::megalol::megalol:

 

Mine just texted me to say "am I going to see you tonight", to which I responded, "look up and listen".

Exactly. Adding the "@openbeta" command is a valid and official way to update the Release version to OpenBeta for those people (including myself) who do not want 2 seperate DCS installations on their PC.

Here's a mean Cat for you!

 

[curli]

Did you do that by forcing the updater? If you did you're going to have a sad time when you realise it's regressed your install to 2.5.1

 

2.5.1 Flanker.

What variant of the Hornet is this?

 

 

I would have also accepted "this is a Hornet thread not an F-14 thread"

 

Is that a Maine Coon?

 

Looks like a F-18P Panther ...

What a great picture.

My wife called me a Loser for calling in sick to work for this today :megalol:

[ruprecht]

Wrong again....

Calm down son.

 

This is both a) the documented procedure and b) worked perfectly in the past. Bignewy's vague caution came after several of us had apparent success with the official update procedure.

 

Are you suggesting that the official updater regressing us to a previous version is expected behaviour?

 

You're aware of course that DCS does this behind the scenes the first time you launch it each day?

[Pluscrafter]

I had a hornet nest on my balcony, but all of them where killed by bees :)

[dalat]

new dcs updater status: "couldn't connect to server"

[Eldur]

No Hornet yet, but the Arabian temperatures of way over 30°C / 86°F is here already. It needs to be about 20% cooler though, still don't get how they're even able to just live down there, feels like being roasted in hell right now

[Calicrook]

unintentionally called in sick to work > stumbled on website today and was still able to pre purchase > life is g00d right now

[FoxxyTrotty]

that's my cat, the OP cat in this thread reminded me of her a bit. She's the most loving cat I have had, more loyal than my rescue dog, she sits/sleeps on me almost every night, and is jealus when my girlfriend comes to stay, sticks to me like glue. We physically have to shut her out *at times*

 

[OddBall]

Not for me yet

 

1st I get

 

 

Then I get the error log
