Cobra847 Posted October 7, 2019 Author Share Posted October 7, 2019 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.

TheD3vil Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuiGon Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Great news! Lots of things in there that I really desire (TWS Auto, multicrew rework, Phoenix guidance, Viggen stuff)!

QuiGon Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 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.

*Aquila* Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 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.

viper2097 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 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.
