Feedback Thread - Open Beta Update April 10th 2024

[IronMike]

Dear all,

unfortunately we have no changelog for this patch, as the team is preparing the F-4 release, we thank you for your kind understanding. Rest assured that soon after the F-4 release updates and patches will return to a normal for both Viggen and F-14, and of course we did not forget about the remaining items to bring both out of EA. Thank you for your very kind patience in the meantime!

As of course the F-14 was made compatible with the recent Open Beta, please be so kind and give us your feedback, should any new issues be spotted. Thank you as always for your continued support!

Q: What about the Eurofighter, the A-6E, F-14 and Viggen? Are you biting off too much?
A: The Heatblur team has never grown nor been more capable than it is today. The trust you put in us is absolutely sacred, and the announcement of the F-4 has no bearing on the steadfast commitment to continued progress on existing and other future modules.[...]

We hope it not because your company name was evoked in the nastiness between razbam and eagle dynamics.

Pre-release is still a very special time, it's an all hands on deck kind of situation. At this point I may also remind you that all throughout F-4 development we've layed significant ground work that ultimately will benefit the F-14, too, and help us push it out of release. The line still holds true, it has no bearing on our steadfast committment to the progress of all our existing modules. Thank you for your kind patience.

Please don't forget the AI A-6E

Indeed!

Umm, if I hook myself up to Elon Musk's AI interface, does that mean I'll get to fly the A-6 also?

Once the F4 is released will you start looking at the pilot body in the F14, lacks movement when applying toe brakes and would be nice to see some animations similar to the F15E by Razbam. Are animations something you are looking at creating for your modules.

Why "Open Beta" update in the title?

Old habits die slowly I suppose...

Didn’t see them mentioned on the Trello, so I figured I’d ask here - apologies if this is somewhere else easily searchable.  Are there plans to implement the proper CMD EJECT indicator for the pilot or OBCs?

They'll get to all missing things eventually but these are low priority.

I've suddenly noticed issues with Jester responding to me when I use Qeyeballs or direct head control. Last  night I tried for 30 minutes and he responds and finds the target 1 in 5 times. I've also had 2 missions where the circle and dot do not appear and I have to restart mission. This has absolutely never happened before.

Personally, id like to see all of the clickable switches become bindable- i have made a left panel that is ready to go. Yes i know i could always use DCS Bios, but i think personally that a basic HID input is easier. I also know that there are some mods that can fill this gap, but id personally rather not use any mods. Please add things like the intake ramp switches etc to be bindable. Thanks

They say they'll eventually get around to it. but until then; There's a mod for that.

Works a treat for turning annoying one way switches into proper toggles as well as adding missing axis and assignment.

Not sure where to post this, but...

 

Wasn't the F=14 Jester supposed to be upgraded to the new Jester like in the Phantom?

 

No complaint, just curious.

Yes, we were supposed to get at least some chunks of him but for now we don't get any updates for a few months.

[Beirut]

Thank you.
