Features on the F4 module

[westr]

Heatblur team.
Will we experience some of the added features on the F4 coming over to the F14?

I noticed some of the features in the special menu settings where adjustments can be made like stick deflection adjustments and stick force blending. Also from many of the videos I’ve watched your reworked jester model seems more interactive and sometimes instigating conversation with the pilot. I’m sure there are multiple new features coming to the F4 as being the newer module that’s just progression, and I’m looking forward to the F4. 
But being such a fan of the F14 it would be great to see the big fighter get some of this new treatment. I’m sure many on these forums would agree with me that we wouldn’t necessarily expect some of these features to come at no expense as that would be unreasonable. A tomcat 2.0 upgrade maybe? 


Anyway Here’s to the success of the F4.

We will get canopy marking feature, too?

I can't wait that!

Let them finish and fix the 1.0 first. Some of the F-4E features are said to be planned to port back to F-14 and AJS-37 modules. I look forward to smarter RIO and ground crew/equipment interaction/visuals.

I’m asking the HB team if it’s something they will look into doing? I’m not asking if it can be done tomorrow, I wouldn't expect that.

I think he’s just bored.

Their discord have this info on a bug report/known issue thread.

I don't recall exactly so I won't go into details that can be inaccurate, but there is more to come on the current Tomcat module still, aside from the two other A variants comming. Nobody seems to be planning a 2.0 like the A-10C II or Black Shark sequels if that's what you're asking.

Again, their discord is the best source for these.

Discord is gross and nobody should use it for anything but multiplayer coordination.

 

seriously companies, get the hell off discord.

It's a mess like 90's chat rooms.

I don't want to hijack the OP's question (came here to ask the same), but maybe a small additional question:

Did Heatblur mention that they will eventually update Jester AI, to operate a bit more independent? (like they advertise for the F4)

(sorry if this was asked/answered before somewhere)

Yes, but I won't search for the source link now.

You don't have to

I was merely searching for some confirmation on what I think I've seen/heard somewhere (perhaps it was said in one of the various Heatblur YT videos).

The Tomcat was a day one purchase for me (pre-purchase actually), but I've never been fond of the required Jester micromanagement. So, hoping to see some of the new F4 AI also coming to the Tomcat at some point
