Harker Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) Excellent post (although it could've come a couple of days earlier and saved you some grief). It gives a particularly transparent picture of development and I'm sure everyone here appreciates that. I was personally hoping that Vulcan/multithreading and the FLIR overhaul were closer, since a lot of tools and sensors would benefit from both, but I was also pleased by several items. And don't feel like you have to rush the SC if it's not ready. A delay is unfortunate, but understandable to anyone working in software development. At the end of the day, all of us want a good release. Keep up the good work and stay safe, everyone. Edited April 15, 2020 by Harker The vCVW-17 is looking for Hornet and Tomcat pilots and RIOs.

Gary Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 AFAIK it has the new carrier ATC as a prerequisite, meaning that as soon as the new carrier ATC works fine field ATC can follow. Not entirely. The Carrier ATC is already in the OB largely. Mostly scripted calls and not really a new system as such. All operated on a single freq etc etc. A welcome step forward but hardly the overhaul that is needed in my view. I mean a new proper system with Ground, Departure, Tower and other seperate freq uses (confirmed by Wags) This new system still seems a very long way off according to Kate's update today.

rquttaineh Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Thanks for the updates, but I think ED must reconsidering in giving deadlines and release dates, every release date postponed to another few weeks, its better not to give us dates and make us wait then ... wait another few weeks!!! its just my personal opinion :) Appreciate the transparency, and best regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ED Team Kate Perederko Posted April 15, 2020 Author ED Team Share Posted April 15, 2020 Thank you all for the comments! Important to me to feel your feedback and opinions. ATC, in our opinion, is a large system to have it in place with good implementation. I prefer to fi technical debt first and start new large projects after it. Deadlines have several purposes and people ask them all the time because it's the orienting points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlingShot86 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Just my 2 cents ... For me, and i think most of the VR players, the implementation of the Vulkan engine ist the most excitement update you ever spoke about. So if i have a choice between new modules or the implementation of the Vulkan engine .. i would prefer the Engine implementation. But i know that this is one of the hardest jobs on your to-do list .. and sadly its going to take long time until its ready. So keep up the good stuff ...

CHSubZero Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Thank you Kate for the roadmap. That's the kind of transparency I like. Sure sometimes things will change (that's a normal behavior when developing Software). Please keep the community informed about updates of the roadmap.

Al-Azraq Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Thanks for the transparency Kate, I am glad to see that you are working on some of the issues that really push back this sim. One question though: ¿What do you mean about 'Special Effects Update? Like explosions, sparks, smoke, etc.? Could you be more specific?

fjacobsen Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) While I understand the decision, I´m still disappointed. It seems there are too many balls in the air. While it makes sense to share developemnt knowledge between the F/A-18 and F-16, it still causes delay to finishing the F/A-18 which many of us bought before the F-16 was announced - thats unfair for those not interested in the F-16. We pre-pay real money as a sign of trust that modules will be delivered. No one forces us to pre-pay or buy EA modules, but that doesn´t mean that we shouldn´t expect the developers to deliver what we paid for within a reasonable time. I bought the F/A-18 may 2018 and according to the Roadmap, we should be lucky if it´s considered out of EA by the end of this year, more realistic will be in a year - thats 3 years from start of EA to the release version. Focus should be to finish first what You started first. Other bugs and promised features within the core sim has been present / missing for years with little attention - I can mention multicrew for UH-1, Damage model, AI enhancements & ATC enhancements. I still love DCS, but also feel frustrated for the way things are prioritised. 3rd part developers also doesn´t live up to, what paying customers expect -to mention the Razbam M-2000D, now going into it´s 5th year without being finished, or the AV-8B. Same with the Yak-52. Edited April 15, 2020 by fjacobsen i7-10700K 3.8-5.1Ghz, 32GB RAM, RTX 4070 12GB, 1 x 1 TB SSD, 2 x 2TB SSD2 TB, 1 x 2 TBHDD 7200 RPM, Win10 Home 64bit, Meta Quest 3.

WinterH Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) I notice a very distinct lack of Mi-24P mentioned anywhere, and am rather disappointed by that. Still, it is really nice reading an update like this one, hoping to see this continue as a trend. Edit: nevermind, it is in fact listed as a mid-term module in dev.

Vassilli Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Kate, could you compensate and tell us which is the "eagerly awaited module"? I'm sorry I had to try it :-) Pretty sure it's the euro fighter. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reflected Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Thanks a lot for the info, Kate, appreciated! I was really looking forward to the SC today, but it's totally understandable why you chose not to release it yet. Some of those no-go-s would surely have started a flame war along the lines of "oh no, another broken EA module...etc" - we've all seen this before. You know best what state it's currently in, and whether or not it's ready enough for release. I wish you good luck squashing those last couple of bugs and I'm keeping my fingers crossed to see it in game soon.
