Guest Guest Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 F404-GE-400 or 402? Which engines will be modeled in the early access Hornet versus the full release Hornet? Will the 400 be modeled in early access with the enhanced performance engine upgrade modeled for full release? Or for the sake of simplicity will the 402 be modeled in both early access and full release? I'm curious because the 402 provided some significant performance improvements in certain areas of the flight envelope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Gardner Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 When? I make no apologies for asking, for I am the customer and therefore apparently always right: thus I put the question: are you able to be a little more definitive about the date upon which I am able to take delivery of my new aeroplane? I realise such questions have a tendency to elicit a considerable degree of consternation amoungst developers and an extraordinary level of sycophancy amongst apologists, but my ardour has been aroused by indications as to the superior quality of this forthcoming model and this my inner energy has become elevated beyond my feeble capacities to thus to contain. And so alas I lay myself at your feet and hope that my curiosity meet not with those standard rebuffs of developers from DCS to FSX and P3D, towit ‘it will be ready when it is ready’, but will elicit from those ‘in the know’ something firm and definitive and thereby cool my feverish expectations. Many thanks Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Gardner Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Amen brother, a fellow athlete in verbal dexterity, my respect! Yes, ‘‘tis true, the makers have put forward their considered expectations that our new toy be within our grasp by the end of spring. However, most unfortunate though it be, the reality is that there is considerable latitude concerning the whereabouts of: ‘the end of spring’. And so it was that I took upon myself the burden of enquiry thus: ‘is a more definitive forecast possible?’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Matt mentioned navpoints exactly? No need for this kind of attitude. Of course we will be able to use Nav points from ME. It's insane, if we won't.... 3 predefined routes - I suppose, it's some kind of MUMI/Data Cartridge simulation in ME, and not related to exact route for plane, but this question is a bit interesting...

Lithion Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 (edited) Hi, a question I've seen around here on the forum before, popped into my head again during the Hornet stream. While not specifically geared towards the Hornet, it will very much benefit from it: Will DCS:Hornet, or standard DCS:Mission Editor, come with an option to launch with empty external* tanks?

I think I remember them mentioning that they are working on that as it became a more apparent issue with the Harrier and LHA takeoffs.

Because if not - it's time to start. i did, and there is no mention of NAV Points from the ME can be added to the WP of the Hornet - but you can give me a link to post - if you would be so kind.

mwd2 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Will the new Nimitz-class aircraft carrier have more than 4 respawn points, at the same time?

RED Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 It's a default function for every DCS aircraft. Doesn't make sense to repeat it...I think we are thinking of 2 different points used for navigation. In the ME there are not only the waypoints you can place while placing an aircraft/vehicle. Mwd2 is talking about the "ip" points. Only the A10C can use those at the moment. They are really useful when placed like real nav points for navigation. In the A10C you can easily setup a flight plan in multiplayer if the server has the correct "IP" points set. Sorry if this was a little confusing...

Nightwolf Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 are all release updates applied also to open beta branch? then what is the point of keeping release version? Because not all beta updates are applied to the release branch. Sometimes things can get unstable in the beta branch, because they’re testing new things. Most servers are all running release because it’s generally much more stable. "Fighter pilots have ice in their veins. They don't have emotions. They think, anticipate.
