F-5E Tiger II Upgrade On The Way?

[ThorBrasil]

I don't know if you noticed the cover of the Steam version. The F-5E looks more detailed. I wonder if an update is coming?

There's no update until Wags says "What's that <aircraftname> doing there?" at the end of an official video on a completely unrelated subject.

I was just wanting F-5E issues addressed. But, 10bux for a revamped set of art and those fixes? Yeah, I can swing that. Easily.

[Hammer1-1]

So...elephant in the room. Are they ever going to revamp the UH-1H? F-86? Mi8? Bunch of older models that need to get loved on as well that are in worse shape than the F-5E.

Yeah, I'm happy to shell out a few bucks to bring some of the older models up to date.

 

Love to see 4x Sidewinders on the F5 but that might not be realistic. Oh well.

Can't wait to buy & fly it. Such a long journey until they updated it. Hopefully, worth the wait.

ED said on a youtube comment that the the 9.99 upgrade is for a completely new model and textures. The bug fixes will be added free to both old and new models.

No mentioning of fixed bugs or new functionality in the newsletter, however. Only optical changes mentioned. Do we know for sure there will be functional updates?

Every single video & clip from players for the next 6 months will have fog in it.

The overhaul of the F-5 is great news. 10 bucks is a fair price - don't understand why quite some people complain about this. It's two cups of coffee for a nice update to a great module. Aim-9 Limas would be appreciated, of course, as well as a refueling probe and maybe some weapons used on export variants of the F-5.

@Flappie Can we please have this thread merged with the bigger "some love incoming" one?

Reading this one would expect that only the paid remastered version would be getting the bug fixes, thankfully it seems this isn't the case but yeah, could've explained it better in the newsletter.

"coming soon"

How soon are we talking about ???
I know it's coming off as hating for a product that hasn't yet released, but I am willing to bet my balls that once ED releases the F5 remaster and receives the money, the only ED staff working on the remaster will be redirected somewhere else and we won't see these updates come out for a long time, a year or so at least. They pulled the same crap with the A10C II and the super carrier. Had to wait a long time to get some of the features promised. I remember in the case of the A10C II radio, it came out after more than a year since launch because no coders were available to work on it (I believe one of the community managers told this, can't remember who exactly).

ED, I get big features for complex modules take time, however here, considering the remaster is a much less complex endeavor than your full modules, you better not make users wait for months upon months until you get sufficiently pressured into fulfilling your contractual obligation.

10 bucks is a pretty fair price. But, I do wonder if additional capabilities were ever considered? Getting Limas or even another pair of AIM-9s would change the game for the F-5. That alone might engender sufficient good will that they sell more. And at 10 bucks a pop, that'll really be nice.

Checking current Miles... yup, let's get it.

The clarification is just few lines below:

Both the DCS: F-5E Remaster and the existing DCS: F-5E will receive many improvements and fixes including certain corrections to radar operation, weapon adjustments including new laser-guided bomb loading options, avionics improvements, mirrors, wing bend and flex animations, high angle attack audio buffet, gun smoke behaviour, and more.

easy solution: don’t purchase the upgrade until all the features have been implemented.

[Kev2go]

Hope the f5e remaster has the new radios and, and the ins system of the f5n ( still technically an f5e as they were buybacks from the swiss)

I just noticed the "avionics improvements" line. Any ideas what that could mean ?
