Mini Update 12/18

[raelias]

Hey, First of all thanks for the great comunication today, great news all around

 

I wonder if wags or someone else from the team could elaborate on what you mean by "improvements to the AIM-120 AMRAAM" if possible and feel free to expand in any other exiting features in store for the next few months

 

Happy Holidays

i read somewhere, that the devs are going to publish a write-up on missiles in general, detailing what they want to improve, but also explaining what they think is already correct concerning some discussion within the community. can't give you a quote unfortuantely.

They did so with the Aim-7 before it got updated, I think the 120s about to get the same treatment. Also Heatblur has been working with them to update Missile APIs in general for their Aim-54 So I think its just been ongoing. They probably were waiting for TWS mode to update the 120 so we have a complete experience.

TGP on the HUD at least?

Hello,

 

This is primarily in regards to guidance. We're working on some comparison graphs for real world and game data for flight performance based on thrust, acceleration, drag, alpha, etc., and we will let our clients draw their own conclusions. In a related matter, we plan to do the same for the Hornet and Viper flight models.

 

Although we added Augmented Proportional Navigation (APN) earlier (as apposed to pure PN navigation), we believe there is room for improvement in regards to the loft trajectory. We want to investigate this and make improvements where needed.

 

Thanks

Thanks! Please take a look at the subsonic and transsonic drag values as well, those seem to be a bit high at times.

These will be included in the reports, and I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

Thank you for the information. Will other Air to Air missiles also be included in this update?

Per example R-27 modeling is starting to show its age and it is hurting the 'red' side a lot...

Is the AIM-7P still in the pipeline?

[raelias]

Can we get some word on the missing loft profile of the HARM? it's relly killing all it's energy by flying straigt to the target in TOO

A HARM should not loft in SP and TOO as there is no range data. Only in PB would it loft. PB will be coming later in early access.

Later, it is a rather low priority compared to other tasks.

The focus is first on the AIM-120.

Ah I see, thanks for the feedback

Not to complain but +1 on that...how long has the TGP been out and still no HUD indicator...I don't get it...JF17 comes out and everything is functional from the start. Just a TGP marker on the HUD...any kind of mark...doesn't have to be finished or perfect...LOL...been waiting for a long time...

[Eldur]

This update is just massive. Don't know when to try out all the new things. But first things first, I've got to get it though the bamboo cable (DL speed ranges from 50-150KB/s ATM, that was about the speed of my 768kbit/s ADSL 15 years ago). 1280 / 1453 MB, and this is just the deltas... if I just could fly while it's fetching those files

Maybe next time I'll run the updater on a second rig and just copy it over afterwards

 

Thanks for that cornucopia of plenty, have some nice holidays!

[...] In a related matter, we plan to do the same for the Hornet and Viper flight models.[...]

Will you also talk about FCS reversion modes for the Hornet (Mech, DEL1, DEL2)?

I could not get any info on what to expect on that, but would like to know, before buying the module.

Thanks you!
