DCS: Supercarrier Mini-Updates - Can we have some please?

[norman99]

I know the SuperCarrier gets sporadically mentioned in the newsletters, but as someone who doesn't religiously read these as they're released, it's hard to go back and find updates afterwards.

Seeing as we have a pinned "Mini-Updates" thread ideally placed for this, could I ask ED staff if they can post SuperCarrier updates here, for all to find? Seems the last update to this thread was 2 years ago.

Testing and perfecting the directors is ongoing, it is no easy task. Most of these, if not all of these functions are new and beyond what most anyone has ever done with a carrier, as such it takes lots of time and testing. The chaos of a flight deck in MP has many great challenges for AI directors. Thanks.

I'm a total knuckle-dragger, so I have no frame of reference about the work you all are trying to accomplish.  Not an enviable task, and we are extremely grateful. Pretty excited about this one! That said, it sounds like the above is foreshadowing a significant delay of the proposed update tomorrow?  Any idea how long?

You and the Airboss have knuckle-dragging in common, and when you drag your knuckles over non-skid it's really bad for your hands, which might be why air bosses have such a reputation for being beastly...

I seriously doubt flight deck directors will have any impact on tomorrow's patch; those are more like a 'next year' thing.

If it doesn't work in MP, or with a cluttered deck - please, do not release it. It's a nice to have feature, sure, but it's not worth it if it's going to force us to taxi to a certain cat using a very narrow path without taking obstacles into account.

I'd like to have it, even if only SP.

Directors as optional would be best. Users can enable for SP, disable for MP.
