What's next for the Hornet?

[Airhunter]

So, given that the release of the F-16 is slowly approaching what is next for the Hornet? When are we finally going to get TWS and some work done on the various radar modes, HARM PB mode, a fleshed out TGP and actual INS/GPS simulation + some improvements and fixes to the flight model? A general updated "roadmap" would be neat. :smilewink:

Thanks.

We're waiting patiently to the next mini update - one month since the last one... :-S

Unable.

A mini update would be great. The summer slow down seems to be over, at least as far as Viper is concerned......

I remember in previous videos, Wags had said their plan: Harpoon missile, AGM62, SLAM, SLAM-ER.

[Gierasimov]

I have a good source that told me that the next thing for Hornet is further development.

[Archaic]

Wait, are you saying I don't actually have to wait for INS to align?

 

I'd like AG radar - massive part of the Hornet. Should be a major priority.

[Tholozor]

Most likely we'll get the Walleye next.

[Airhunter]

If so then I think the priorities are kind of reversed on ED's side. TWS, Radar, flight model and INS/GPS should be much higher up the list of priorities than a Walleye or some fancy SLAM stuff, which can be added later down the road with no one really complaining.

[Tholozor]

Just remember that different engineers are working on different things. Just because the Walleye might be next doesn't mean work has stopped on everything else.

[Wags]

Walleye.

 

Thanks

[Gierasimov]

Thanks for that

 

Walleye.

 

Thanks

 

Felt like we were just hit by one.

 

Out of the blue, quick, and boom. Good hits! Good hits!

I'm waiting for the 3d corrections in the cockpit as well as 3d corrections from the pilot modell. Is not that important?. Is it always about systems?. That's all ?. A cockpit with errors? A bad pilot model?. Do I ask too many questions?. I'm really disappointed. In the cockpit so many details are missing in the rear area.

 

Yeah ...i am blind..not seen not seen. What a s....:argue:

[victorlima01]

Honestly I think the cockpit 3d model is gorgeous, and all users will stand to gain much much more from systems that once in place will drastically improve simulation. It's been more than a year and still no TWS. Or INS/GPS. Or a ground mode for the radar. Or HUD symbology for the targeting pod. BTW I'm not complaining, just illustrating how there are indeed systems that should be in place before going back to the 3d model to look at the details of the rear aspect of the cockpit (where few people ever look, if at all). But to each his own.

Take this. It's about the principle.

At $79.99 you can expect something!. The 3d artists.. had enough time but.. no, the f-16 is more important. The customer who participates in the EA and points out is not important.

3D artist has a To-Do list, remember hornet has mising "stuff" and actually in "progress".

 

The last hornet cockpit update and external model was on open beta on Sumer..... meanwhile the "F-16" team was in progress, diferent teams, and diferent projects

3D model? I can't care less. It's extremely good as it is, and 99.9% virtual pilots think the same. Bring the weapons and a/c systems on!

[TomCatMucDe]

Walleye.

 

 

 

Thanks

Can't hide my disappointment that there isn't any news or visible progress on TWS and other radar modes.

Common, who ever notice those things. And if you do once, how much impact does it have on the experience.

Isn't A/G radar being sourced to a 3rd party?

 

Kind of essential system in the F18 and F16. Hopefully it's an easy technology to port over.

[M1Combat]

I love this forum...

[MonnieRock]

I for one, am looking forward to the functionality of:

 

DDI's : Brightness and Contrast to work correctly

AMPCD : Brightness, Contrast, Gain, Symbology fully functional.

 

One might say, that is 3d art fluff.

 

Those functionalities are part of the avionics and weapons systems. I would say that is pretty important

 

Will add that 4k scaling is still off for the cockpit avionics. Thick blurry lines

 

 

Happy Simming,

Monnie

[hanab]

Walleye.

 

Thanks

 

When I see this short answer, I think ED really don’t care about their customers.....sad :(

 

That’s why i will not buy the viper until hornet is finished .

Yeah agree, it doesn't look like correct PR honestly

[AvroLanc]

I think it’s Wags getting upset at our constant demands for updates, whom I have sympathy for, even as a guilty party. However, it’s still completely reasonable to ask about long anticipated feature additions that still haven’t been added, especially in light of a seemingly imminent release of another EA jet. ,
