Our benchmark is the Tomcat, we aim for a similar performance.

Forgive me if this is an ignorant question, but will that option be dependant on the scalability of the multithread client? As in: will people who have processors with (very) high core count (12-16 and more) see a higher benefit, or doesn't it matter?

Tried to preorder on steam, not possible. When will the Steam pre order be live? 

Steam won’t put up a pre order until a release date is announced, check back when they set a date, I’m patiently waiting too.

Based on the two videos recently released, the developers are focusing on making the pilots as lifelike as possible.  When I see they focus on small details like pilots who blink, I believe they devoted time and resources in other parts not publicized. I know the naval F-4 will be available at a future.  

In my opinion, they are using a human center designed approach.

Pre ordered today, can’t wait. Thank you Heatblur for the module and releasing the manual early. Another humbling module for non pilots like me but I’ll have fun trying.

 

Still not out on Steam, but I guess we're nearing the finish line. Maybe. Perhaps. Possibly.

Some of the planes, but all of the maps!

We require a fixed release date for the steam pre-order, which is why we have the coming soon placeholder currently. Heatblur Simulations is working with Eagle Dynamics SA to refine a date, when we have news we will share it.

thanks

No sweat. But that placeholder is such a tease. :smoke:

Did anyone else see the AI A-6? at 1:05?

Nope.  I saw a custom made representation of a map kind of like a 3D tacview.  There was a group labeled "A-6", but that part of the video isn't made with DCS and the actual unit never made an appearance so I don't count it.

You're right, but I often read manuals as bedtime reading. It calms me down when I go to sleep and is also supposed to improve my memory. 😉

The 'Next' button is aggravating.  So much less carpel tunnel from scrolling.

I'm very excited about the A-6 too, but we just didn't see it here, we saw a label.  2024 and Beyond had a couple of great shots in it and I believe that the AI will either release with the F-4E or in the next patch after it.

Thanks, but it seems there will be some or a campaign for the F4 as it is announced in the F4 product. I suppose it will be in Chernarus..... again. (as is the only map all people have). I suppose better than Marianas

Ya, this is one of the most unfortunate things about the DCS business model. The F-14 was kinda doable because it's carrier based. However, I know my ability to suspend disbelief simply isn't good enough to enjoy an F-4 campaign in the Georgian republic. It was the same for the Viggen. :sad_2:

I'd actually prefer something in the Marianas ... somehow 🤔... maybe a training campaign ...

If the New Iraq map has enough of Iran. I would love an F4 Iran campaign. They did a lot of daring stuff with their F4s.

You might also pretend it's a luftwaffe F4 and use it in a cold war what if on the Kola map.

With thousands of F-4s flown by many nations, there’s no shortage of “legit” theaters.
 

In addition to the forthcoming Iraq map (both Iran and Coalition/US), there’s Sinai (IDF/AF and Egypt in the 1980s, Syria (Turkish F-4s have flown sorties) , Persian Gulf (also Iran), and of course Nevada (Red Flag for U.S. and allied F-4 operators, plus Weapons School and so on).

American F4(apparently D models)

Flying in Norway.

Perfect for either training exercises or what if scenarios on the Kola map
