bies Posted December 12, 2019 Posted December 12, 2019 (edited) Are there some plans implementing super carrier features for future Heatblur's Forrestal? Is this even valid question for ED? Or maybe Heatblur? I know the biggest issue could be possibly some copyrights and legal matters because: 1) On one hand Forrestal will be paid under F-14 module so if someone have F-14 he would have super carrier's features for free. I would buy ED Nimitz anyway but the company could afraid decreased revenues, it's obvious. 2) On the other hand full feature cold war Forrestal with all ED's bells and whistles would enrich the sim as a whole. But if HB's Forrestal would not have super carrier's features and HB would decide to make similar features by it's own it would be some huge loss of time for them and final effect would be both carriers incompatible with slightly different implementations of the very same things. 3) Ideal would be if paid super carrier upgrading not only Nimitz but also future Forrestal. Not graphically obviously but deck crew, ready room, nets etc. This third variant would even increase number of potential customers for ED's paid super carrier. Is it even possible? Maybe it is more in Heatblur's interest? cheers Edited December 12, 2019 by bies
Harlikwin Posted December 12, 2019 Posted December 12, 2019 (edited) I asked this in the HB forum a few weeks back. From what Iron Mike said, the HB carrier is its own thing, and will not have anything to do with the ED supercarrier. I.e. it will come when it comes, and if the supercarrier is delayed it will not impact HB. I think they have said they will have a deck crew as well, or at least posted some pics of that. And I "think" the ATC system should be plug-n-play for all carriers? But I could be wrong on that. Maybe the HB/Stennis get some simplified system.

ebabil Posted December 13, 2019 Posted December 13, 2019 I don't think that it (Forrestal) will be that complex. Creating a carrier from ATC to shooter is a very heavy task. I think HB will give us a stennis level carrier plus some deck crews etc FC3 | UH-1 | Mi-8 | A-10C II | F/A-18 | Ka-50 III | F-14 | F-16 | AH-64 | Mi-24 | F-5 | F-15E| F-4| Tornado Persian Gulf | Nevada | Syria | NS-430 | Supercarrier // Wishlist: CH-53 | UH-60 Youtube MS FFB2 - TM Warthog - CH Pro Pedals - Trackir 5
AG-51_Razor Posted December 13, 2019 Posted December 13, 2019 It would be awesome though, if the Forestall class had the same feature of parking slots so that we would be able to assign more folks to a mission without worrying about someone spawning on top of someone else. :thumbup: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Raisuli Posted December 13, 2019 Posted December 13, 2019 Or make Supercarrier APIs available if you own it. ForestFire is HB goodness, but if you also buy EDs you get the added bonus of those features as well.

But I hope its better than that :) New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog.
