I'm sure this is a terrible thoughtcrime, but... I keep wondering why? It's just more attention for ED's forum/community.

That seals it for me,DCS next Aircraft will be a F/A-18 Hornet:thumbup:

j/k lol

i have been playing with this for the past 2 weeks and i think that it is quality stuff.

they have also indicated that they are in production of the 2 seater F model.

Time for another check in.

 

We're still in the middle of bug hunting. Jon's been doing extensive cleanups of the XML side of things, and working on updated documentation for all the new systems added in the TacPack.

 

There are a few things I'm currently working on. First is the Phalanx CIWS implementation for carrier point defense. Now, in addition to RIM-7's on the carrier, we've got the CIWS, which we implemented with tracers ala the C-RAM, so you have something to dodge. (minus the exploding shells of the C-RAM) Though it should be noted the tracers are only fired every 30th-ish simulated round, to keep from bogging the sim down.

 

I'm also working hard to fix a few odd recently emerging bugs in the FLIR/NVG implementation. Odd because I can't reproduce them, but multiple beta testers have, even though none of them has been traced to any code or config change between when they were working and when they stopped. (Making trying to fix them a bit like trying to find a needle in a haystack while wearing welding gloves and a blindfold) The one variable that seems constant is that the only people affected have ATI cards, so I've actually ordered myself one to try to reproduce the problem locally. (If you're considering a video card for use with FSX, I can't recommend nVidia highly enough. We're not going to turn our backs on ATI users, but in our experience the incidence of issues is far lower with nVidia kit)

 

We are getting closer to an open beta, but we're not quite there yet. The NVG/FLIR are experimental features, but we're not going to knowingly ship them in a state likely to be broken for 70% of ATI card users.

Thanks that's what I was looking for. Apparently I have acceleration with FSX gold - I'll go ahead and get VRS once I get it working.

I just happened upon this thread about a week ago. I knew nothing about this FSX, 3rd party add-on. I don't have the SuperBug, yet, but I am looking at it. I have had FSX and the Acceleration pack for 3 or 4 years but it never ran very good on my old Dell or my homebuilt. I just put it on my new Alienware and it can fly FSX almost maxed out with frame rates of a consistent 60. From your referenced listing (message Post #37, this thread) I downloaded the AICARRIERS2 last night and got that running with the FSX's F-18.

 

Found this YouTube index to feel out the F-18 SuperBug:

 

http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=superbug+fsx&oq=SuperBug&aq=1&aqi=g4&aql=&gs_l=youtube-reduced.1.1.0l4.4296552.4301350.0.4309677.8.5.0.3.3.0.189.622.3j2.5.0...0.0.pHASwIPkeWI

 

So if I go purchase the SuperBug and the embellishments for it, then DCS will publish its F-18 beta, the next day. LOL! I just wonder if that is the next DCS aircraft? I realize even if you knew, you guys in the know are not allowed to talk about it. And DCS will most likely do it better. But from what I have been reading, the many classified aspects of the Super Hornet may prevent this. But never say never.

So I'd need to get FSX, then Superbug for FSX then this?

 

This is interesting. I'm seriously intrigued now!

Does Accufeel run with VRS or are they incompatible?

re: Message Post #60:

 

You Think? LOL!

 

That is why I am balking at buying the FSX 3rd party SuperBug. DCS's version, if it is the F-18, should be a lot better as to the shortcomings of my FSX. I never did like it.

 

Remember the SubLogic flight sim that pre-dated Microsofts' FS? Talk about lousy frame rates...

 

I'd settle for any aircraft carrier plane DCS wants to model be it WWII, Korea, 'Nam, and since to the present and be quite happy as to my previous 4 DCS aircraft purchases to date.

"crashing and burning since 1982"

 

You got me beat by 3 years as to my Commodore 64. LOL!

 

Buddy of mine, started out putting together PC's soldering components to the motherboard in the 70's.

Accu-feel should work with it as it seems to work with anything I tried. You will likely want to adjust/tune it as I found it's defaults were a bit overboard. I haven't had the Superbug installed since I acquired Accu-feel (actually still need to reinstall it since a recent rebuild).

Yes, works fine. You do need to tweak the settings a bit to your liking as usual with accufeel, but it works great together :)

VRS SUPERBUG

 

I wanted to know which is better DCS A-10 or VRS F/A-18E Superhornet

If you are interested in about a thousand varied opinions, search the Other Sims threads. ;)

[SUBS17]

I have both, you cannot compare the two since one is a multi-role carrier bourne fighter and the other is a dedicated CAS aircraft. In terms of level of complexity I'd say they are on an equal level although the SH does not yet have A/G radar, FLIR, Datalink, IFF, ACLS. After Tacpac the SH will have A/G radar, FLIR, Datalink, IFF, MP Combat and some other features later VRS plan on doing an F, G and a Pro version which will have a more detailed FM(the current one is quite good anyway) ACLS and no doubt other stuff not mentioned.(the Pro FM will have the ability to depart etc{current one can do that anyway if you fly asymetric loadouts}). DCS A-10C is an awesome addon and it has as much complexity as well as being in a full combat sim.:thumbup:

Buy both if you're into flying, carrierops and blowing stuff up.:D

[Pilotasso]

DCS will have a superhornet then you dont have to decide :D

[Shaman]

I have and love both, but obviously DCS should be your first purchase and VRS second.

Have you tried the "Team SDB - USS Enterprise X" add-on SUBS?

[SUBS17]

Not yet, is it any good?

[aaron886]

FM(the current one is quite good anyway)

 

Still here to provide the counterpoint... No it ain't! ;) Sorry, just going to have to oppose you on this one.

[PlainSight]

VRS: carrier landings (respect to those who are doing this for real)

DCS: blowing stuff up in style

Well several FSX pilots have landed real Superhornet simulators with real LSOs on carriers in both day and night successfully after practicing with FSX in particular VRS SH. :thumbup:
