DCS: Supercarrier Update for 19 March 2020

Great work, keep it up!

Considering scale, sophistication and scope of work few weeks is nothing.

Thanks EA, I appreciate the detailed update. In the grand scheme of things a 15 day delay in the super carrier release is hardly something to get upset about.

Do that software engineer stuff and stay well, I'll be ready when you are :smilewink:

Really? What about constantly delays of products and features (including today`s OB)? And 9 months for simply TGP features. But its all good, things can change.

Next time my money will change too and I will not give it to ED.

Thank god for the ignore list, I actually cant stand anymore whiners :mad:

I have to wait an extra fifteen days to find out I'm not exactly a sierra-hotel pilot on the super carrier, too? At least the background wound would look nicer as the flaming wreckage skids off the angle deck, and there are crewmen around diving for cover.

Between Coronavirusgeddon and Snowmageddon there might be enough opportunities to get the skill set ready.

Take your time.

To be clear, we are not saying that the Tomcat will not be compatible at Super Carrier EA launch, we will do our very best with HB to have at least limited functionality.

 

Thanks,

Matt

There are currently only two DCS pay modules that use conventional aircraft carriers in the game, the ED Hornet and the HB Tomcat. How was it not a top priority to ensure the Supercarrier module was fully able to use both modules? I'm genuinely confused...This should've been a top priority.

Technically, what prevents the F-14 to be interfaced ? I thought that it could have been an aircraft dimensions difference only.

Thanks a lot for this update. We (at least the most of us) appreciate the hard work you do. Stay healthy, espeacially with your family!

To be fair, that's not what they said at all. It was initially advertised to release Q1, obviously without those bugs. So they're just disappointed that it wasn't releasing when initially planned.

Well, it was advertised as an Early Access release which means it would have been full of bugs since that is the nature of early access. I'd rather the time be spent to squash as many as possible prior to early access release, yet I am always sad when people assume early access releases will be bug free as that is very rarely the case.

Come on guys a bit of patience, neither those who mindlessly attack OR defend ED when things go to plan are right.

Definitely agree with you here. :)

How do I add such folks?

Well, HB is delivering their own Carrier. I guess this should be available these days too i hope. I guess they want to wait until ED released the Supercarrier.

Matt thank you for the clarification on the Tomcat and the update on the carrier. I look forward to trapping both the Hornet and Tomcat on the deck.

Thanks you for the informativ update :thumbup:. Have you guys planned tutorial videos or a video how to use the carriermodule? Like the F-18 Videos from wags.

I use it not only to not see their posts, but also to prevent me from inadvertently helping them in the future.

Wags, thanks for the transparency and the updates :) its ready when its ready.. hope you and yours are well and everyone is staying safe in the team!

Well just to play the devil's advocate here since I fly the 18 rather than the 14... If I only had the 14 for whatever reason and had to pay 25% more for the SC than the 18 guys and also be told that no guarantees it will work at all or we hope to have limited functionality for that extra 25% I'd be more than a little annoyed if I was a 14 guy.

Thanks for the info. Ignore the vocal minority. Rather wait and have a working product. Stay safe!

Thanks for the update Wags. Take your time and get it right. :thumbup:

Will this be worked on inline with syncing the rest of multi player in DCS, We all know how bad the warping and Dysnc is. More info would be cool on this.

 

Using gazelle AND when Multi crew UH-1 released by mistake UH-1 showed same problems.

All cool features but can we have info on this, Will deck crew have jet packs to fly across maps this is fairly important yet skipped. Id like to hear some news on this as well as others. What i mean is 10 people will spawn in and warp into each other wrecking the place and its not the first time.

Integration of DCS: F-14 Tomcat is planned to be delivered with Release State version. However, we will try our best to add some Supercarrier functionality to Early Access version too.

Can you elaborate on why is integration with a module a problem and requires extra work? How will you ensure that future carrier AC will be compatible if the Tomcat is now a problem to integrate?

I believe from Wags explanation, time is the limiting factor in this integration.

Finally, some information. Not much to ask for really. Thank you. Now, just keep the community updated and take your time to make it a game-changer.

Thanks again,

Steve

To me a firm date is better than a shooting for date any day. Even if it is farther out it is still a firm date. Calendar marked!

Thanks for the update ED. I would rather wait 15 days to get a more enjoyable module but im sure i dont speak for just myself but can yous please try and keep the community a bit more up to date and when things do get delayed can we get a new sneak peak / game play trailer or a development video as i know im not the only person that enjoys seeing the hard work you and the other developers do. Keep up the good work

How to refund ?

Thanks
