Jak525 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Could we get another mini-update sometime about what the devs are presently working on? I think everyone would be interested to know what things are top priority at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eaglewings Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 The Lightening Targeting pod has yet to receive some functionality too.

Blaster79 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 +1 There are still a lot of things to be completed on the F-18, for example: - TWS - Fully functional litening pod - AZ/EL page - Air to ground radar - INS and GPS full simulation - Some minor settings inside various MFD pages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think everyone would be interested to know what things are top priority at the moment. +1 A mini update would be nice. I’m hoping the relative quiet is due August holidays and we’ll see progress in next few weeks. I’m optimistic that we might see a surge in Hornet items in the run up to Viper release but I may be too hopeful. Items for me: Long mentioned full INS and GPS enhancements. Full alignment, HSI options etc JDAM improvements. In Zone stuff, LP, AUTO LFT, FLT time , TOT etc TWS and finish RWS....complete RWS long overdue MIDS page, MIDS voice channels TGP symbology, slaving functions Simple missing HOTAS functions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

med-taha Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 What happen to Data cartridge for the hornet? It’s WIP . We already had some photos. Data cartridge is related to MUMI page. Mission Data can be manually loaded into the mission computer through the Memory Unit Mission Initialization (MUMI) display or can be automatically loaded.

Kev2go Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 The Lightening Targeting pod has yet to receive some functionality too. I would also guess the TWS radar mode would be the next big feature to add. Yea what I'm most looking forward on the very short term is additional tgp functionality. Specifically symbology in the HUD. And hsi As of now it's easy to loose track or locate where your point is. Without hud, sa page indicators I'm forced to cage and restart my use of the tgp more often than I'd like.

HUD indicator of where the pod is focused on would be greatly welcomed. Also ability to do multi-sensor slaving.

kega76 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 I hope they would stop introducing more half finished fancy weapons and rather fix the more major systems that most of you have already listed. TWS, TGP functionality, ground mapping radar, JHMCS and off board planning functionality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk000tch Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Completion of these pages would make the Hornet thicker. What happen to Data cartridge for the hornet? They haven't been very specific but there's no data cartridge per se. You've likely seen the MUMI page placeholder, when complete that page provides functionality to transfer data from fA18 DSUs to hornet MCs, including PB target data, jdam QRM, obviously waypoints, radio presents, link-16/jtids and the like. Other things as well not relevant to the sim or discussion. They also mentioned being able to edit default search parameters. This would apply when first entering A/A mode, but also to bump and RTS commands presumably. However, this is where I"m a little confused, as usually this is done via the SET sublevel on radar, but apparently they are building something where we can set these in options and they will not have to be updated each time. WHatever the case, it's a welcome addition. What would be particularly cool is if they added a pre-mission planning interface similar to TAMPS. I don't want to get in trouble as i've got some red in my ledger with 9line, but the bulk of the navy fleet use ordinary PCs loaded with TAMPS (and its various modules for indiviidual aircraft/weapons) to plan missions, load mission data onto transport medium (DSU for hornet), and load into aircraft systems. This is the case for f18s, but also KC-130s, AH-1s, Uh-1s, P-3Cs etc., and individual weapons or systems like HARM, JSOW, JDAM, SLAM, JTIDS/Link-16 (crypto related info omitted intentionally) would barely be useable, or require a half hour of data entry preflight. TAMPS will even print out kneeboard pages for the mission. Hopefully they have something like that in the hopper, as it would have awesome functionality for multiplayer as well. just a dude who probably doesn't know what he's talking about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sn8ke Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 SLAM, SLAM-ER Auto, Semi-Auto for countermeasures. (Honestly, I am surprised it's not yet implemented) I’m going to assume, based on their complexities, the ATFLIR pod and ground radar will be the two final projects for the F/A-18C.

sk000tch Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 I’m going to assume, based on their complexities, the ATFLIR pod and ground radar will be the two final projects for the F/A-18C. A/G radar much moreso than atflir, though we are up against the object render hardcap with litening. Given that almost all the tech in the A/G system doesn't exist in any other module (except MAP/Real beam), I suspect we might not see it until there are some engine changes (hopefully still on track for early next year). I don't think the current pipeline can draw geometry 80nm away/has issues with object size, etc. That's rumor mill stuff so could be way off, but makes sense just a dude who probably doesn't know what he's talking about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
