MAXsenna Posted April 20, 2024 Posted April 20, 2024 Wonder how far along the Hellcat is compared to the Chinook. It feels to me like we've gotten more info on the Hellcat and yet the Chinook is already up for preorder. Wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that the Enterprise is missing all of its gun turrets...Pretty sure it's far ahead. Might be waiting for the Enterprise as you say, and the WWII Marianas. Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk

In the time since the Mosquito was released the helicopter departed of ED released the Mi-24, the AH-64, and now CH-47. Not to mention that these are much more complex modules than a warbird.

Gunfreak Posted April 20, 2024 Posted April 20, 2024 The Chinnock was shown surprisingly little before we had pre-order. Same with Afghanistan. It might be a new strategy. To avoid hype for 2 years. They show a little and then bam! Might be the same with PTO project. 3 i7 13700k @5.2ghz, GTX 5090 OC, 128Gig ram 4800mhz DDR5, M2 drive.

Also Corsairs and one other type but mostly Hellcat.

Also, it is not a Hellcat but a Wildcat from the lovely WWII collection at the Virginia Military Aviation museum. Allegedly it flies, too. Hats off to the amazing staff and guides at the museum. Scary, when you think of all the aircraft or wing load is clinging to such a small hinge. GIves me the same chills like when I think on all the helicopter weight carried by a barely arm-thick shaft. 1 "Muß ich denn jedes Mal, wenn ich sauge oder saugblase den Schlauchstecker in die Schlauchnut schieben?"

ESA_maligno Posted June 3, 2024 Posted June 3, 2024 Well, as I have commented in another thread, I think that the anniversary of the battle of Midway is a good time for an announcement... It would be nice to know something about how the projects are going for those of us who like the simulation of that time. 2

ESA_maligno Posted June 28, 2024 Posted June 28, 2024 Any new news about the Hellcat, release date, development, etc.? 1
Slippa Posted July 21, 2024 Posted July 21, 2024 Was wondering about this myself. Maybe it’s done and we’ll get it with the next update? Would be good.
danythunder14 Posted January 17 Posted January 17 Will we have news on the development of the F6F Hellcat soon? It's been a long time since we heard anything about him and we can't say who will be very present in the 2025 video and beyond. 3 1 Wishlist : SBD Dauntless, F9F Panther, F6F Hellcat, TBF Avenger, USS Enterprise CV-6

Yeah it's been like this with WW2 era for years now. They're now putting their resources in the money grab F-35 so I won't be expecting anything for WW2 this whole year. As sad and dramatic that sounds, I also feel like it's the truth. I'd like to be wrong for once in my life (:D). Edited January 18 by MasaMan 3 1

[HOUNDS] CptTrips Posted January 18 Posted January 18 (edited) I think they should make it easier for mods to make some mid-fidelity WWII planes to fill all the vast gaping holes without having to wait decades for ED. No radars or other electronic systems. They don't have to exhaustively model every nut and bolt and hydraulic hose in the wheel well. That isn't really necessary to me. Good readable cockpit (doesn't need to be clicky), Good flight model. That's all I need. But yeah, I was disappointed at how little I saw in the 2025 vid for WWII. They showed even less than 2024. We are going backwards. They can't make a Zero because they don't have every last government stamped design document personally signed by Yamamoto, but they can go make an F-35 based on rumors they heard around the bar at the O'Club?

[HOUNDS] CptTrips Posted January 18 Posted January 18 Some solution needs to be found. Waiting a decade per plane is just silly. 7 1

The solution is between the FC level and the full-fidelity. Model the main systems - engine & flight model, clickable cockpit for the major switches only, and I don’t care about things like suction, or oil dilution, or the aux generator. I’d rather have a magic-based functioning artificial horizon than a highly detailed physics-based broken one. 3 “Mosquitoes fly, but flies don’t Mosquito” :pilotfly: - Geoffrey de Havilland. ... well, he could have said it!

I keep saying this and then all the white knights come in and start moaning. I believe I said there shouldn't be an announcement for a new plane unless your 6 months away from release. The F4U has been teased for how long now? I've already lost interest and there's a 90% chance I will not buy it. By all accounts I can go announce a module right now without any repercussions. 3 AVIONICS: ASUS BTF TUF MB, INTEL i9 RAPTORLAKE 24 CORE, 48GB PATRIOT VIPER TUF 6600MHz, 16GB ASUS TUF RTX 4070ti SUPER, ASUS TUF 1000w PSU CONTROLS: LOGI X-56 RHINO HOTAS, LOGI PRO RUDDER PEDALS, LOGI G733 LIGHTSPEED MAIN BIRDS: F/A-18C, MIRAGE F1
[HOUNDS] CptTrips Posted January 20 Posted January 20 Building a plane model in DCS shouldn't take over twice as long as WWII lasted itself. 5
