fl0w Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I think you've missed one keyword from my previous post: "AI units". Getting AI into the base of the game still requires having a license. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tread_Head57 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Getting AI into the base of the game still requires having a license. Not too sure about that. DCS, the core program, is “free”. If they included an AI Typhoon (for example) I’m pretty sure that would fall under fair use/art/whatever. Selling a Typhoon module requires liscense. Look at the AI units available now...ED does not liscenses with all those defense contractors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiG21bisFishbedL Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 You dont need bullet 4, unless the manufacturer itself was involved with the dev team to create the module. IIRC RAZBAM never got it for the Mirage, hence why it's called the M-2000 instead of Mirage 2000. And I doubt you guys sought it for the MiG-21, at least between the input from beczl when he was still kicking around and Dolphin. Reformers hate him!

This would mean any method I suppose? Such as you asking a museum for a private tour of an aircraft to 3D scan for photogrammetry that the manufacturer provided?

There's a post about the similarities between the J and the E(FN) earlier in the thread and seemed like the best approach to satisfy the most. Reformers hate him!

Shively Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) So, I can't really think of a module I'd rather see in DCS right now, and I'm glad to see Magnitude-3 commit to it because I think there's no way that the F-8 doesn't turn out to be a boatload of fun. I just hope they're going to support it a bit better than they have my other favorite module, which still has a few issues after many years in early access now. Gonna' hold out and hope, though, as the MiG has been getting better in the last few months, and currently has one of the most enjoyable flight models in DCS.

Cake Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 The video with the porpoising was interesting. I guess no propellor to strike so what the hell! 6700K@4.6 48Gb - 1080Ti Hybrid - Warthog - RIFT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Arrow Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 The video with the porpoising was interesting. I guess no propellor to strike so what the hell! You can see that he has one (left) flap fully down and the other is still up, so with such imbalance it was actually a very good landing and a very dangerous situation for the pilot, which he handled in my opinion very well.

Kang Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 The little anecdote about pilot position when parking on a flight deck made me think: M3, could you please consider making provisions for a system of having the F-8 pushed by ground crew when landed? It has a free castering nosewheel and while that works quite alright for, say, a MiG-21, I'm sure that steering solely through differential braking is going to be a major pain on the tight spaces of an aircraft carrier. Please think of this ahead of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver_Dragon Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I also wanted to add that this module is going to need new AI units as well, due to the time period of the aircraft. At minimum we would need A-4 Skyhawks, A-7 Corsair IIs, or KA-3B Skywarriors providing refueling, as the KA-6D wasn't around until the 1970's and the S-3B wasn't used as a tanker until the 1990's. Of course we would need new AI units to simulate a late 1950's/1960's/early to mid 1970's carrier deck as well, depending on the version of Crusader that is modeled. Mid 1950's and 1960's: F-11F Tiger F-4D Skyray F-3H Demon 1960's to 1970's: F-4B/J/N A-4A/B/C/D/E/F Skyhawk A-7A/B/C/E Corsair II A-5C Vigilante RA-5C Vigilante 1950's to 1970's A-1J/H Skyraider A-3B Skywarrior KA-3B Skywarrior EAK-3B Skywarrior S-2 Tracker Added to the Vacant model list https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=104115 Remember A-7 corsair II has planned by RAZBAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EGG Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 They mentioned in the blog the other day that Bullpup was to be available, but apparently it was never fully qualified on the F-8J and the hump containing the avionics was later repurposed for ECM. https://thanlont.blogspot.com/2008/10/general-purpose-f8u.html https://thanlont.blogspot.com/2013/03/a-brief-history-of-f8u-crusader-armament.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDieing Posted April 26, 2019 Author Share Posted April 26, 2019 If it was not fully qualified to but it was able to carry them and launch them then I am fine with it personally.

Hiromachi Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 From which period is F-8J variant? Vietnam war or later? Based on the documents we have right now, of which most recent one was released in March 1973, I'd expect a version closer to Vietnam War Era.

Based on that specific year then this F-8 will have access to the AIM-9H version of the Sidewinder in addition to probably the older D and G?
