As far as I understand, making a module for DCS requires access to, and use of, certain APIs that are specifically made for DCS by ED. As such, it is a partnership.

IronMike Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) It means that we develop it, and ED are our partners, as they are on every project, because we develop it for DCS. They are our partners and named as such in everything we do and ever will for DCS. This does not mean that they actively develop along on our modules at all (while they ofc help in the more brought aspect). Feel free to quote me on that, on whatever discord folks claim otherwise.

Great to see you in this thread! Very happy to see you guys doing the work on this module (The day F-4S or F-4J with AWG-10B and VTAS II is announced is the day I die of happiness). Is the 4E drawing on any of the work completed by belsimtek, or is that too old/not up to standard in some way?

Didn't see those comments people mention, but since Belsimtek was already working on the model, didn't you resume the work from there in any aspect? Is it a whole new module by Heatblur? Just asking out of interest, not "accusing" you of anything or something like that. I don't see any problem if it were a true collaborative work at any level, day 1 purchase anyhow .

I hope they worked together as that could speed up development time

So out to curiosity, how are you guys gonna address stuff like the early sparrow "reliability" issues that are well documented.

A bridge to cross when we get there, really, but also a question for early aim9s, etc - although it is very likely that aim7s and aim9s will be ED side, not us. As you know us, we will do our best to model it as true to life as possible, and as reasonable gameplay wise as possible. Modeling stuff that just doesnt work, is kinda beside the point if that makes sense. It is better then to not offer it. But if it actively adds to the gameplay, to your tactics, etc - then ofc it is something that can be a ton of fun because of its quirkyness. 2 Heatblur Simulations Please feel free to contact me anytime, either via PM here, on the forums, or via email through the contact form on our homepage. http://www.heatblur.com/ https://www.facebook.com/heatblur/

Cool, I mean alot of that stuff is pretty well documented, and while some of it was like reliability/poor maintence, and some of it was "user error" there was still alot of it that was just the weapon not being that good in the first place.

We'll see - it is one of these things where gameplay and realism have to be weighed against each other. If it is just a source of frustration for the user, while not adding any form of gameplay, it becomes a tough decision real quick. Kind of like refueling: in air, easy to ask of someone to do, it is fun in it being a challenge. On the ground, waiting around for 30 min doing nothing, not so much, if you catch my drift. But realism will always get considered first. But anyway, we are not there yet, we'll see. 7 2 Heatblur Simulations Please feel free to contact me anytime, either via PM here, on the forums, or via email through the contact form on our homepage. http://www.heatblur.com/ https://www.facebook.com/heatblur/
ghostdog688 Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 I’m sure you don’t want to send us all into hype-erdrive, but given you have made a commitment to this year that you’ve repeatedly said you are confident with, are you able to elaborate where you are in the development process and what level of work remains?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3
