ignition22 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Software is hard, incredibly hard. Having big teams working on the same thing is not as efficient in terms of man hours for value as smaller teams working on specific isolated things. So things take time and so far the super carrier early access release and pace of updates is consistent with other DCS releases. Personally id rather have the super carrier as it is now with some bugs and missing functionality then not have it now and be waiting for it to be more complete before release. If anyone would rather the other way around then they have the option of not using it yet or waiting until full release until buying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could always have the alternative - no early release and no choice. (or have the experience I've had with EA games - full release with bugs that never get fixed as they release their next game for another cash grab). I understand the frustrations, I would love to hear some news as well but I'm glad we at least have choice in this matter. ED have been transparent and given us a choice and I'm grateful for that.

ED Team BIGNEWY Posted September 14, 2020 ED Team Share Posted September 14, 2020 Early access takes a long time, for any module. We use early access because it does give us room to develop and bring the modules to you sooner. Your participation in early access development helps us not only financially but with your reports and feedback. If early access is not your thing we completely understand. Some news, the team have nearly finished the briefing room, hopefully we can share a preview of it soon. thanks Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

Can you share some if the plannes features for the briefing room in the future? I guess it's not just a model of the room with no functionality. Additionally, most of us would appreciate an update on the ATC more than anything else, especially in multiplayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harker Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 More important things to fix like night marshaling and performance... I'm in a virtual squadron and I think the briefing room is going to be a nice addition, but it's certainly secondary to the fixes you mention. The night experience is lacking quite a bit right now, both because of the lack of wands and because of bad perfromance and it needs to be prioritized.

Hawkeye_UK Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Its very early EA guys, things will come. Only thing i would ask for is that the carrier ball overlay that pops up in VR is a real deal breaker, to be honest i don't use the carrier because of it, actually obscures my view of the actual ball on the final turn. Know it's been mentioned but if we could give one of the dev's a nudge to make this an option in the specials tab, greatly appreciated im sure by many. It was highlighted that it would be an option and i know its a simple LUA script change so please please can we push this easy win. The overlay would have been useful back in the CV1 days but for some of us lucky ones hardware has moved on and its not needed.

RaiderOne Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Its very early EA guys, things will come. You are probably right - ahem ... I hope so - but it is much too slow ! And they give no news, no explanations to show us why they are taking so much time and why they are not even able to quickly fix some small bugs that would make the use of the module at least acceptable during the early Access period ! Only thing i would ask for is that the carrier ball overlay that pops up in VR is a real deal breaker, to be honest i don't use the carrier because of it, actually obscures my view of the actual ball on the final turn. Know it's been mentioned but if we could give one of the dev's a nudge to make this an option in the specials tab, greatly appreciated im sure by many. It was highlighted that it would be an option and i know its a simple LUA script change so please please can we push this easy win. The overlay would have been useful back in the CV1 days but for some of us lucky ones hardware has moved on and its not needed. ...You can move this overlay out of your screen when it appears by using your mouse ... I know it's a poor workaround but apart from modifying some game files we don't have anything else ! Anyway, sadly, since many years, flying DCS simulator force you to a constant use of MANY workarounds to make the experience acceptable !!! That is no more a satisfying and acceptable situation at all for the regular supporting customers we are since many years !! :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaiderOne Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 And don't bother me with the use of the Stable Version instead of the OpenBeta to solve the problems (I have both of them installed) ! This doesn't change anything since the end of May ! The, so called, "Stable version" is full of blocking bugs on many modules and they definitely know it ! Since the release of the Supercarrier, to maximize sales, ED is pushing the "OpenBeta Version" towards the - so called - "Stable Version" very early in the process, with lots of bugs still uncorrected ! For the releases of the Supercarrier and the P-47, both in Early Access, the so called "debug process delay" between the release of a new product on the OpenBeta and it's availability on the "Stable" Version was around ONE WEEK ONLY !!! Knowing the legendary and despairing slowness of ED to fix bugs ... you can easily imagine that one week looks like a "funny" delay to hope to fix the significative amount of bugs on those quite complex modules to a least make them usable in an acceptable way during the Early Access period ...

Sorry you are unhappy, It does not change that this is early access. Early acees means we can bring you a product earlier while we continue development. If early access isn't your thing we totally understand. Regarding stable version and open beta, the stable build is just a more stable version of open beta which is a public test version. We test all patches in the open beta to try and prevent stopping issues, it does not mean it will be bug free. thanks Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

Fisherman82 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I would like to hear if they are planning to fix the problems everyone is having with tanker orbits and rescue helos not following the carrier, if they have plans on doing new tasks in the ME that solves these problems. Its not because I need them right now primarily, Im creating a campaign for the Persian Gulf map and Im holding off on finishing it because this is something that will be the same in all the missions.

Fisherman82 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I have tried but could not get it to work, a guy here on the forum even sent a example mission and posted the script but that did not help. Thought I could use it as a temporary solution, I still hope ED will implement this into the core, its a pretty central thing in carrier aviation and I cant think they will settle with people needing to use MOOSE in the long run to make the carrier aviation experience in DCS Supercarrier complete.

Just now, as the module is barely usable during MultiPlayer proper&complete missions, and still full of bugs & missing parts in the recovery plane's management even in SinglePlayer, etc ... ... your best wish, what you really claim is : - to "be able to park your plane in the Hangar" and - to "be able to see the map & change your loadout from a new room instead of from your cockpit" ?!?

Supercarrier has build as a "block construction" and milestone as first module to build naval modules into DCS. And has the first module with ED make additional cockpits, LSO post has one of them and missing yet click able bottons and functionality. The briefing room, the CAG AirBoss has another. Actually don't expected other "load out" UI. That has outside supercarrier, that is part of the core, and a pilot don't descend vyour airplane to reload under deck to the hangar, that is make on deck, up the ammunition and fuel by armored elevators and fuel lines. You only move the aircraft under deck to store, repair, maintenance or make room on deck to operations decks.

BarTzi Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 One of (if not the main) selling point of this module was the ATC. I'd like to hear some news about future plans to support multiplayer better, and assign different entities (tower, lso and so on) to different frequencies. The eye candy doesn't really matter, if at the end of the day the ATC doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to be aware of EA means. As for the IFOLS it is easy to disable in Lua. We have a large group and I believe all of our guys are using a OVGME enable file that turns of the artificial IFOLS.
