Heatblur Development Update - Thunder & Cat

[Cobra847]

quick question: for those of us who enjoy the back seat, do you have any plans to improve Ice Man's piloting? Not to imply a desire to RIO for a full mission, but rather to allow more time & focus on RIO & B/N activities as engagement distances decrease.

 

Many thanks for this detailed update filled with good news for BOTH modules!

 

Very much looking forwards to Forrestal!

 

We plan to add some useful functionality; such as orbit.

I don't own the TC, but I saw the update this morning and couldn't help nodding and thinking... this is how a developer should continue support for a product. Purchasing the Tomcat right now.

[StandingCow]

Thank you very much HB. The Tomcat is nothing short of a masterpiece!

[Hawkeye_UK]

Excellent update thanks HB - great to read the road map along with timescales, the ED team should take stock of updates of this calibre.

[Eagle7907]

Great news HB Team! You guys continue to shoot for the stars!

Thank You HB!

Really looking forward to the Viggen updates. That bird was my first love and I need to give her more attention.

[MoGas]

Very nice HB!

What do you mean with "digital EGIT (-B)"?

Many thanks for your continuous effort and releasing such an excellent products.

Is the Viggen Mini NTTR DACT Campaign coming out as well?

[QuiGon]

Great news! Lots of things in there that I really desire (TWS Auto, multicrew rework, Phoenix guidance, Viggen stuff)!

[QuiGon]

I'll keep it short, I love you guys! :D

Can't wait to have a polished up Viggen and -B Tomcat in the sim by the end of the year. And of course the Forrestal class carriers, which will also come in handy for the F-8J by Magnitude3.

 

A few questions: Is the in-cockpit pilot model for the cat on the short term list still? And what do you guys mean with digital EGIT?

What do you mean with "digital EGIT (-B)"?

The engine instrument panel we currently have is the one of the A-Tomcat. It will be replaced by the EGIT-panel of the B-Tomcat.

We plan to add some useful functionality; such as orbit.

That was, with Jester Lantirn, one instrumental functionality we hoped to see one day when we wrote the review of the Tomcat for checksix-fr.com. Great news, really.

[JamesRothwell]

Excellent, thanks for the update!

[X-man]

Excellent news! Thanks for keeping us updated and that some very needed fixes are incoming. I think this will open up some leashes on the 14 in the pvp community. Looking forward it it.

[Comox]

Thanks for the update Cobra !

I highly appreciate this open form of communication.

Maybe not always is everything working perfect, as expected or different people just have different expectations.

But there is only one thing, that is maybe the most important to stick all together:

Communication

 

You are doing a great job on that.

Thanks, keep on going.

[USA_Recon]

Great work as always... now... please do a high fidelity F-15C ;)

[flybull]

Thanks Cobra!

 

Any chance we can get a newer cockpit (clearer labels) on the “A” model?

 

Absolutely LOVE your Tomcat -

 

Thank you.

[Japo32]

Thanks for the news.

 

Hope the viggen receive the love that deserves in the reconnaissance area. Right now lot of things are missing.

 

Thanks!

[TLTeo]

Good news overall, good luck!

Yes, but what is "digital EGIT"?

[Airhunter]

Yes, but what is "digital EGIT"?

 

Yeah, I could not find this acronym on any Tomcat manual myself.

Excellent, thank you very much Heatblur team, for such detailed road-map! :)
