BioZ Posted July 6, 2019 Posted July 6, 2019 Greetings! The fact that we haven't received any screenshots of TGP on DDI is pushing thoughts that it's actually so far from being released. As wags stated they want to flesh it out before releasing it. Was just wondering if we could get some screenshot of DDI with TGP screen on it :D Don't think that I am blaming someone, I understand that F/A-18C is very complex and coding isn't easy from any point of view. Thanks :)
Jak525 Posted July 6, 2019 Posted July 6, 2019 I'm guessing they want to surprise us. When he says "flesh out", that potentially means waiting so that it can be released in a more finished state -- functioning A/G and A/A FLIR (obviously), laser target designator/ranger, and laser spot tracker. Although frankly I'm not keeping my hopes up for anything more than the LTD/R and A/G FLIR upon release.
E-Rock Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 Judging from the mini-update, I reckon the team decided to delay the release to further enhance the TPOD with more functionality for its debut.....or they discovered a problem with it at the last minute and it needs some reworking.
maths314 Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 You'll get it when it's ready. Someone starts at thread likes this almost every day and I'm getting sick of it.
Py Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 You'll get it when it's ready. Someone starts at thread likes this almost every day and I'm getting sick of it. This. Same with the weekly "are we getting an update today?!?!" threads, always posted a few hours before the updates typically come out. Seriously, just stay calm (those people), you'll know soon.
Shack Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 A lot of immaturity on this forum. Impatience is a prime example especially after having been told why additional testing and time is required.

DeathAngel1 Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 According to DCS plans, we used to have TGP in the end of last month, but..it was delayed, as always. ..:NAVY PILOTS ARE THE THE BEST PILOTS:..
WildBillKelsoe Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 wasn't the TGP supposed to be implemented following the FLIR engine upgrade? AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.
backspace340 Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 wasn't the TGP supposed to be implemented following the FLIR engine upgrade? That plan changed around Christmas - they're going to give us the Litening first, then the FLIR revamp and ATFLIR will come later.
hotrod525 Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 According to DCS plans, we used to have TGP in the end of last month, but..it was delayed, as always. Mate, they start talking about F/A-18C in 2010, we saw screen shot of cockpit and AG radar in 2015 and we get the thing in 2018 strip of almost any advance system. I dont blame them, it just seems like this plane is uber-stupidly-complex
max22 Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 I'm more interested in an ECM pod than a Litening pod. But reality and will are two different things.
Kev2go Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 I'm more interested in an ECM pod than a Litening pod. But reality and will are two different things.

Nospin44 Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 Im also suprised ED hasnt teased any screenshots like they have with litterally every other system before release. Like someone else already said maybe they just want to flesh out more feautures before release.
Airhunter Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 The hornet already has built in ECM into the airframe. It doesn't. It's not modelled and you cannot jam the Hornet right now.
Kev2go Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 (edited) It doesn't. It's not modelled and you cannot jam the Hornet right now. yes the actual aircraft does, I never said otherwise that it is functional in dcs right now Other than the hornet doesn't need ECM pods, and even so i dont think they are issued them IRL. dont recall any mounted ECM pods as part of the planned features. Either way with how oversimplified ecm jamming currently is within DCS overall, no i don't feel a functioning Hornet ECM is anywhere near as big a priority as a TGP.

WildBillKelsoe Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 That plan changed around Christmas - they're going to give us the Litening first, then the FLIR revamp and ATFLIR will come later. IMHO they should set the FLIR first given it is shared among many other aircrafts and helicopters. AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below.

BioZ Posted July 7, 2019 Author Posted July 7, 2019 How about creating a thread with a better title instead this click bait title. This thread is mainly about Litening, so how do you want me to name it? "Litening II this is clickbait" or "Wags I have a question about Litening II" ? Sorry I just don't see any issues with it.

Either way with how oversimplified ecm jamming currently is within DCS overall, no i don't feel a functioning Hornet ECM is anywhere near as big a priority as a TGP. Got it. No, I agree. The highest priority items for me are the TGP, TWS (no idea how we still dont have TWS radar mode) and the full INS/GPS simulation. Then I'd like to see drag adjustments to various loadouts and the clean configuration. Only THEN should new weapons be added in my opinion.
