** UPDATE: Ground Radar 2.0 & Multiplayer Flight Planning **

[Redhotita1]

I don't even own the viggen, but this is freakin' awesome.

 

You guys rock !

 

This might be a good reason to change that!

 

I am just speech less on how good Heatblur is when having 2 planes in the works! One even beign the F-14!

Just one word:

 

WHEN????

[droopy114]

Great!!

[tflash]

This is so cool!The Viggen rocks!

[ikonane]

Awesome! It looks amazing!

[Flappie]

Many thanks for your continuing support of the module, Heatblur!

[unknown]

Thank you very much Heatblur. :thumbup:

[FSKRipper]

Just one word:

 

WHEN????

 

See post 1

 

 

 

 

We’re looking forward to launching this new version of our ground mapping radar into the Viggen next month!

 

[gulredrel]

Looking great. Thanks for continous support and improvement.

[fl0w]

Absolutely fantastic work you guys have done. Looking good as always! :thumbup:

Our main goals with the Heatblur ground radar 2.0 were to:

 

• Enhance detail and performance of the dedicated raycaster.
  
• Make buildings, cities, objects, bridges and other terrain structures/features reflect the radar and be visible.
  
• Make civilian traffic visible.
  
• Sub-grid terrain type raycasting to accurately depict Runways and other smaller terrain features.
  
• New terrain reflectance model and values for terrain types.
  
• New slope reflectivity model.
  
• Enhance accuracy of the raycaster & interpolator, especially at long distance.
  

 

Dear Cobra ... I'm not complaining, In fact I love the attention being given to the Viggen ..

 

However, I do have a question: are this radar improvements realistic?

 

I mean, will the simulated radar give us a radar image close to that of the real aircraft? ... or will it be better and clearer than the real aircraft? Can the real radar detect civilian traffic?

 

Thanks a lot,

 

:)

Great job!

[A Hamburgler]

And I just purchased the viggen because of this post haha.

[Fercyful]

Beyond amazing! :thumbup:

 

Please is the RAT working in open beta (can u see the 3D model of it) ? Thanks for all ! :pilotfly:

[sc_neo]

I applaud you for not going full Tomcat even so close to release and keeping working on both your modules!

[desmoduke]

My favorite module just got even better!

Great update post with interesting technical implementation details outlined.

[VirusAM]

Awesome.....the best thing about that is that sunday i bought the Viggen and still I didn’t fly it as i am far from home ( from Monday to friday)... now i have to plan my Viggen training seriously as probably it is the best module around here (well the Hornet will remain my first love probably)

[Deano87]

Holy cow... looks like I’m going to have to re learn how to fly the Viggen then!

[mmcintosh]

I am amazed at what the Viggen can do!

[51GRIZZLY]

This is great! …. i mean ….. Really great ! :thumbup:

[Raubritter]

Thank for support Viggen! Looks great and confirms belief in the module F-14.

[OnionSpider13]

I've been planning on grabbing a dedicated ground attacker (Hog, Harrier, or Viggen), I think this update just tipped the scale. Between the quality of the Viggen and Tomcat, I'm possibly going to become Heatblur-exclusive...

[TOViper]

Its not only that the Viggen now has a better radar implementation.

It is about the fact that HB is really taking care of this wonderful beast.

I love it (always did):wub:

And I support it (always did).

And ... OK, I bought the F-14 a few weeks ago ... OkOk ... :smartass:

 

GREAT WORK GUYS !!!

 

P.S.:

Now the pro's at HB maybe find a second (or two) to take care for the Euler thingiee regarding the flighmodel, where the aircraft does some strange things when going through 90° and 270° of flight path angles ... just saying ... ;)

[F900EX]

Looks great !!

 

 

Don't beat me up, but when it comes to A2A any chance we will be able to see dots in the sky :)

 

Yes I'm well aware the Viggen is a low-level A2G jet but its classification is a strike fighter with multi-role capabilities that includes Air to Air combat. Just curious ...

maybe, who knows ... maybe we sometimes get the JA version .... just dreaming ... :)
