Do the MODEX's change on the Tomcat yet? Thanks! Modex numbers aren't dynamic yet but I personally prefer the baked in modex numbers, as they do look better.
ross_freeman Posted December 10, 2019 Posted December 10, 2019 Wonderful news! Looking forward to that very much :thumbup:. Only one month left to choose now) $
Gunslinger22 Posted December 11, 2019 Posted December 11, 2019 Yeah look, I’d dare say we’re not going to see the Forrestal this year. Considering there has been really no word on its progress. It’d be a splendid surprise if it were to leave dry dock this year, but time is rapidly running out. Really just wish they could give us even some progress picks of how it’s looking, but oh well. "I'm just a dude, playing a dude, disguised as another dude."
WOPR Posted December 12, 2019 Posted December 12, 2019 ... time is rapidly running out. ... Agree. Realistically, the last major update this year will be the 18th or maybe the 20th. Christmas & New Years Day fall on the following two Wednesdays.
Belphe Posted December 12, 2019 Posted December 12, 2019 Agree. Realistically, the last major update this year will be the 18th or maybe the 20th. Christmas & New Years Day fall on the following two Wednesdays. I'm with you! Full of hope of receiving "something" for the Turkey this year. Initially, HB stated they will try to update the F-14 roughly every to weeks. Problem is, their 2 weeks not always correlate with the ED's open beta patches and so the whole Tomcat Updating went out of sync. No idea if anything from the "Road Map" is planned for release in the upcoming 18/12 (20/12) patch.. :/ Never say never, Baby! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Harlikwin Posted December 12, 2019 Posted December 12, 2019 (edited) Agree. Realistically, the last major update this year will be the 18th or maybe the 20th. Christmas & New Years Day fall on the following two Wednesdays. Yup, 1 major update, then maybe a hotfix as a follow on. Then a 1 month pause for the holidays since Russian holiday season is in early january as I understand it.

dbestinfla Posted December 13, 2019 Posted December 13, 2019 That would be awesome. I'm retired Aviation Boatswain's Mate. Worked the deck on both FID and Sara during the Achille Lauro hijackings. So I would love that
CoBlue Posted December 16, 2019 Posted December 16, 2019 The Forrestal will launch this year- not sure which month exactly yet. We do, we should have a general developer update soon for you guys again, where we explain everything a bit more. But, we are still committed to releasing it this year. It's going to be so nice to get the Forrestal this year! The silence means only the team is working hard & are going to stand by their words & surprise us on Christmas :thumbup:. i7 8700k@4.7, 1080ti, DDR4 32GB, 2x SSD , HD 2TB, W10, ASUS 27", TrackIr5, TMWH, X-56, GProR.

Though I hope you keep your pitchforks master arm off when it doesn't come out this year. :smilewink: "I'm just a dude, playing a dude, disguised as another dude."
DefaultFace Posted December 17, 2019 Posted December 17, 2019 Yeah man Hornet TWS and a new carrier all in one patch itll be sweet :lol: 9./JG27 "If you can't hit anything, it's because you suck.

Gunslinger22 Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 Yeah look, we ain't going to get the new carrier this year. Or I'd be very, extremely, surprised if we did. "I'm just a dude, playing a dude, disguised as another dude."
WOPR Posted December 19, 2019 Posted December 19, 2019 Yeah look, we ain't going to get the new carrier this year. Or I'd be very, extremely, surprised if we did. Hopefully, Heatblur will at least be able to show off some progress.
LanceCriminal86 Posted December 19, 2019 Posted December 19, 2019 I rewatched the 20% off vid, sadly not Forrestal that I could see. It sounds like they're winding down for the holiday already and they did push out some major content for the Viggen guys. I'm going to just figure we come back from the new year and Forrestal shows up somewhere in January. Heatblur Rivet Counting Squad™ VF-11 and VF-31 1988 [WIP] VF-201 & VF-202 [WIP]
Gunslinger22 Posted December 19, 2019 Posted December 19, 2019 Strange that Cobra seemed so confident earlier in the year that it would get released. Seems like a lot of things at HB had slowed down quite heavily in the second half of this year. Oh well, here’s to looking forward to 2020. Have a great holiday everyone. "I'm just a dude, playing a dude, disguised as another dude."
Donut Posted December 19, 2019 Posted December 19, 2019 It seems the October development update was overly optimistic...hopefully everything is okay. Nothing mentioned for the Tomcat was accomplished except for the helmet visor knob fix. Maybe we will get an update soon... i5 7600K @4.8GHz | 1080 Ti | 32GB 3200MHz | SSD | DCS SETTINGS | "COCKPIT"
DefaultFace Posted December 19, 2019 Posted December 19, 2019 Well they atleast mentioned they wouldn't make it for the TWS Auto and Phoenix stuff. Haven't heard anything about the forrestal though. Im sure it will show up in the new year at some point as others have said. 9./JG27 "If you can't hit anything, it's because you suck. If you get shot down, it's because you suck.

Haven't heard anything about the forrestal though. Im sure it will show up in the new year at some point as others have said. I'm wondering if the issues with their new missile behavior not working in multiplayer slowed things up, with the expectation they could finish it and move on but then it just wasn't working, meaning time spent trying to get that to work instead of Forrestal coding.

DefaultFace Posted December 20, 2019 Posted December 20, 2019 Cobra mentioned on Reddit that they hope to have it ready in January. Also said they were working through the holidays to get that done. IMO that's not worth it for the 3rd year in a row. I think most people here would prefer that the team takes a break and we get it a little later. 9./JG27 "If you can't hit anything, it's because you suck. If you get shot down, it's because you suck.

r4y30n Posted December 20, 2019 Posted December 20, 2019 Weird, I thought Cobra or Mike said just earlier this week that they wouldn’t be working through the break...
GunSlingerAUS Posted December 21, 2019 Posted December 21, 2019 Please, please, PLEASE make it VR performance friendly! The existing carriers bring DCS to a shuddering halt due to their usual inclusion of so many performance-zapping aircraft on deck. Is there a clever way to populate the deck with "imitation" aircraft that make the deck look busy, without requiring the rendering of 10+ detailed Hornets or Cats up top?

Hawkmoon Posted November 18, 2020 Posted November 18, 2020 Hi, i read on this thread that the Forrestal will be usable by anyone, does it mean only in mission, or everyone could create a mission with the Forrestal in the mission editor without owning the Tomcat? Thanks for the reply
sublime Posted November 19, 2020 Posted November 19, 2020 Hi, i read on this thread that the Forrestal will be usable by anyone, does it mean only in mission, or everyone could create a mission with the Forrestal in the mission editor without owning the Tomcat? Thanks for the reply meaning if its in an online server you jump in i think you can land and spawn on it if you have the airframe. otherwise no, I dont think youd get it, itd be like getting super carrier for free. 1
