Nealius Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 I've been curious about this as well. It's supposedly been in development for quite some time, but the teaser trailer appeared to be CGI outside of DCS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SevenVonLykken Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 nearly 2 months and about a year of development, still nothing. not surprised though, given this is HB who made products to near perfection. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick50 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 There's a huge amount of work to develop a complex module like this. The 3d model might not be anywhere near ready to show off. As much legal documentation as possible, radar submodes, Sparrow AI, Guy In Back AI, historically accuracy, complex flight dynamics aerodynamics, 3d scan a real example and it's cockpits, livery research. This all takes time to process through. Maybe HB is concentrating on getting those things right, than showing screens of their model? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick50 Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Maybe they just wanna hold back, until they are ready for the timing of a big marketing push, to make a very successful EA launch sales figures? In a way that makes a lot of sense to me.... it's not like they are gonna lose out if they give us screens now, but if they can dump 100 screens just two weeks from launch, and a few vids, and so on... yea. I dunno, just a guess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fangs Out Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 I think he means the Sparrow guidance logic to make it as realistic as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick50 Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 1 hour ago, Fangs Out said: I think he means the Sparrow guidance logic to make it as realistic as possible Yes, that's what I meant. It might already be finished from F-14 dev, but maybe not since by the Tomcat the Sparrow was less important and "better". The Phantom used the Sparrow as it's fancy missile, and was earlier version. Probably didn't work all that well either. I'm just guessing, but I also suspect that to get a successful Sparrow hit in combat may have needed some fancy coodination and switch-work to make it all work. Tactics, target ID, distance for each stage of the engagement... Figuring all that out for a module, from manuals and a couple SME's, would not be easy, and then to program that in...

Raisuli Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 This is Heatblur. If you want to know what it looks like in-game just pull up a picture in-air. It will look something like this, only better. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_BringTheReign_ Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I thought I read somewhere that there will be a general HB update soonTM (really looking forward to learning more, maybe some sweet F-4 pics?) From the patch notes earlier in March: On 3/17/2022 at 12:42 PM, Cobra847 said: Thank you all for your passion and support. We’re long overdue for a general update, especially after our latest announcements- so stay tuned as we try to squeeze an update out in between our packed roadmap!

Rick50 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Gypsy, you are totally correct... but we public don't really know much of anything about the current state of the Phantom at HB. It was started some time before the announcement... but HOW much? We don't know! All we really know is the little they have told us. For all we know, it might be nearing completion and at the early stage of software testing, bug fixing and such. And maybe they've allocated more time than normal to this, investing time and money into a hopefully smoother bug-free (ish) launch that will impress. I dunno, just talkin out me exhaust port!

cailean_556 Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 (edited) I'm not panicking at the apparent "lack" of screenshots, or updates in general. I would find it very "out-of-character" for an experienced DCS 3rd Party developer, such as Heatblur, to declare a project will release in 2022, if it wasn't in a state where such a release was considered very possible. Granted there are "under the hood" things us mere peasants don't get to see that could alter their schedule, however for Heatblur to make the call of "it'll be out in 2022" during the first official post regarding the F-4 module means that they're pretty confident it'll be out this year. 31 December, 2022 is still a 2022 release. Once 1 Jan 2023 rolls around and I'm still not sitting in a Phantom cockpit, and I've not heard or seen anything about a delay, I'll start making noise. Until then just remain low-key excited, don't let expectations get the better of you and don't get demoralised when you don't see or hear any news about a wanted module (this last one is my kryptonite - South Atlantic, Mirage F1 and MB-339 news, when!?). From memory, we (or at least I) saw very little "progress updates" of the F-14 before its release. So I would imagine the F-4 would be handled in much the same way.

Hoirtel Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 I think its a great and quite novel that we won't see it until its out. Its almost like a...phantom. I actually think they should have kept it 100% secret until its release. That would be pretty cool, and save them a lot of pitchforks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
