Hummingbird Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Any news on this project? Is it going to enter further development immediately following F-16 EA or? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted September 5, 2019 ED Team Share Posted September 5, 2019 Hi Hummingbird, It is still in ED's development list, but we do not have any news or time scales to share currently.

QuiGon Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 AFAIK the F-4E is supposed to follow the Mi-24, which itself is supposed to follow the F-16. But as you know: Plans are always subject to change.

Rudel_chw Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Darn, I suppose any timeframe guess is just speculation right now... I have my fingers crossed! Try purchasing the Tomcat jnstead, if you dont load the Phoenix it is pretty similar to the Phantom, except for the swing wings :) For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600X - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia GTX1070ti - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar - Oculus Rift CV1 Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knock-Knock Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Well the good news is, that the development pace of the F-16 appears to be fast, so even though the F-4 is down the queue, it might arrive sooner than we fear. - Jack of many DCS modules, master of none. - Personal wishlist: F-15A, F-4S Phantom II, JAS 39A Gripen, SAAB 35 Draken, F-104 Starfighter, Panavia Tornado IDS. | Windows 11 | i5-12400 | 64Gb DDR4 | RTX 3080 | 2x M.2 | 27" 1440p | Rift CV1 | Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS | MFG Crosswind pedals | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuiGon Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 (edited) Well the good news is, that the development pace of the F-16 appears to be fast, so even though the F-4 is down the queue, it might arrive sooner than we fear. I wouldn't be so optimistic here, because the reason why the F-16 is comming along so fast is that it shares a lot of tech with the F/A-18 and hence can reuse a lot of code from the F/A-18. The F-4E on the other hand, with all its raw and analogue technology, will requie a lot of new code to be written. Also there's the whole crewmember AI thing that needs to be done.

AeriaGloria Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Hopefully it will be able to use code from the Mi-24 AI, and benefit from the recently redone sparrows Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well no, but its still quicker than having to reinvent the wheel again, and taking the time with F-16 as is done with the F-18. - Jack of many DCS modules, master of none. - Personal wishlist: F-15A, F-4S Phantom II, JAS 39A Gripen, SAAB 35 Draken, F-104 Starfighter, Panavia Tornado IDS. | Windows 11 | i5-12400 | 64Gb DDR4 | RTX 3080 | 2x M.2 | 27" 1440p | Rift CV1 | Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS | MFG Crosswind pedals | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schroedi Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 AFAIK the F-4E is supposed to follow the Mi-24, which itself is supposed to follow the F-16. But as you know: Plans are always subject to change. I remember that after the Mi-24P it's the AH-1F's turn and after that the F-4E. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuiGon Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 I remember that after the Mi-24P it's the AH-1F's turn and after that the F-4E. Right, I forgot about the Cobra. :music_whistling: Although, I'm not really sure if the Cobra is supposed to come before the F-4E. There has not been any information or even dev updates and pictures about the Cobra unlike for the Phantom.

MobiSev Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 wasn't BelSimTek working on the f-4 when they were acquired? maybe they still have a team working on it.

QuiGon Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 wasn't BelSimTek working on the f-4 when they were acquired? maybe they still have a team working on it. Yes, but no, the F-4E got put on ice, when BST merged with ED, so they could put all their manpower on the F/A-18 and now F-16 and Mi-24.

And I love it, especially when I play the RIO but of course you and I both know it is about as similar to the F-4 as the 777 is to the C-17! Yes, but no, the F-4E got put on ice, when BST merged with ED, so they could put all their manpower on the F/A-18 and now F-16 and Mi-24. Is it true that separate teams work on the rotary wing aircraft and the fixed wing aircraft? I'm doing my best to grasp at every chance I can even if it's naive thinking :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As such, Heatblur should just do it. All the reasons ED is quicker with the Viper align with why HB would be quicker with the Phantom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard_03 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 How about ED does a USAF phantom and HB does a USN phantom? :) DCS F/A-18C :sorcerer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hummingbird Posted September 7, 2019 Author Share Posted September 7, 2019 Hopefully the F-4E is next after the F-16, and the helis such as the Mi-24 & AH-1 hopefully have a seperate team working on them. The F-4E was already well on its way when Belsimtek merged with ED, so it shouldn't take too long to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldur Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 How about ED does a USAF phantom and HB does a USN phantom? :) How big are the differences anyway? Would make sense for one team to make both as they very much have lots of commonalities even while being different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
