Is this coming?

I remember HB saying it was going to be released in 2017 unless some catastrophic event occurs.

Is this still on going?

Thanks.

They promised an update very soon so let’s see.

I personally doubt it will come this year but it’s for sure very very close. Anyways, I have full trust in the quality that will be delivered with this module, so IF there is a delay, it’s totally “forgiven”

Yeah, I'm fine with waiting a little longer than what they originally projected, in order to get a great quality module. I have absolute faith in Heatblur to provide a great product, and these things take time.

We have the harrier releasing soon, which will be plenty to keep me occupied until the F-14 and the F/A-18 release. Three of my favorite planes within a few months ( hopefully ) of each other is amazing! Now we just need a proper F-15 full fidelity, and an F-16, and I'll never have to buy another module again! Haha.

Just an update would be nice to tie us over :)

I'm very curious too see when the F-14 and the F-18 will come out respectively. The only reason for me to buy the Hornet would be to ease the pain of waiting for the Tomcat, should it come out much later... we'll see :)

Educated guess: Eagle Dynamics dictates the release schedule. Razbam's Harrier module is first in line, and its currently in presale so they don't want any annoucement of release to interfere with sales of that module. I think that the earliest date we could possibly get for the release of the next aircraft module will be after the Harrier goes into prerelease.

Im hoping that we will see the Tomcat in December and the Hornet in early 2018.

I hope so. :smilewink: I'm really looking forward to the F-14.

Fuuuuudge........Merry Christmas indeed if that were to happen as above!!

Tomcats first flight was on 21 December. It would be great to receive module close to this date, but I'm not sure if this hope isn't completely pointless.

That could ruin many families Christmas... :music_whistling:

With the cadence of updates on the F-18 I'm expecting a Christmas release for it and early 2018 for the Tomcat. Also the stuff we're being shown on the 18 is more polished looking. That doesn't mean heatblur doesn't have that stuff ready to go, but it all adds up to Hornet first to me...

The hornet is much closer than the f-14 is just watching the development levels that are posted online.

How do you figure that?

The Tomcat's systems seem to be further along than the Hornet's, but the Hornet's artwork is more complete. Hence the perception. :)

Do u have some insider info about how far along the F14 artwork is? :O All we have been show is the placeholder textures (apart from a few pics of specific parts)

While I have no knowledge of the actual state at all....I think it would be presumptuous to assume that the Hornet is ahead of the Tomcat in development. Cobra has already shown us a lot of nice updates on the systems, flight model etc. Just because we are seeing placeholder artwork doesn't mean that a lot of the systems aren't in place behind it;)

I'm still hoping for this year :) I'm looking forward the the F-14 more than the F-18 so hope it's first.

I'm assuming ED will stagger their release and HB's release, with the FA18C having priority?

To be honest, I don't see any point in those guesses and speculations!!! does it really matters if hornet or tomcat comes first? the point is, they're coming!!! both confirmed and under lots of work. I know I know, there had been lots of delays on some modules like hornet (not sure about tomcat), but just throwing another "release time?!" topic is not going to help anyone!

My guess is not until 3rd quarter of 2018. Early access to 2.5 2nd quarter before any more modules will be released. Then pre-release if all goes well in 3rd quarter of 2018 of 2.5. Then release of aircraft modules over the next months. I guess ED will merge the new maps into the pre-release 2.5 so much bug-hunting can be done prior to new aircraft introduction.

I think this will eliminate the usual long bug hunting with a aircraft module when introduced into numerous changes/updates with new maps. My guesses.....imho.

You're waaaaaaay off base.

HB's said the Tomcat is in roughly the same place now that the Viggen was in 2016..and the Viggen hit EA in late Jan of this year..

The Harrier is releasing before the end of this year. If your logic was sound then they would be delaying that until after the 2.5 merge also.

With all this presumption I thought I would run some real calculations in an attempt to provide a realistic prediction of the release time frame:

ΠN(x1,…,xn,xn+1)Π−1N(t1,…,tn)=11−xn+1(x1,…,xn),=(2t1,…,2tn,∥t∥2−1)∥t∥2+1.

ΠN(x1,…,xn,xn+1)=11−xn+1(x1,…,xn),ΠN−1(t1,…,tn)=(2t1,…,2tn,‖t‖2−1)‖t‖2+1.

In these coordinates, the induced (round) metric on the unit sphere is well-known (and easily checked) to be conformally-Euclidean:

g(t)=4(dt21+⋯+dt2n)(∥t∥2+1)2.

g(t)=4(dt12+⋯+dtn2)(‖t‖2+1)2.

Stereographic projection from the north pole (0,…,0,r)(0,…,0,r) of Sn®Sn® is given by the scaled mapping x↦t=rΠN(x/r)x↦t=rΠN(x/r), whose inverse is t↦x=rΠ−1N(t/r)t↦x=rΠN−1(t/r), i.e.,

rΠN(x1/r,…,xn/r,xn+1/r)rΠ−1N(t1/r,…,tn/r)=1r−xn+1(x1,…,xn),=(2t1,…,2tn,r(∥t/r∥2−1))∥t/r∥2+1.

rΠN(x1/r,…,xn/r,xn+1/r)=1r−xn+1(x1,…,xn),rΠN−1(t1/r,…,tn/r)=(2t1,…,2tn,r(‖t/r‖2−1))‖t/r‖2+1.

The induced metric in these coordinates is consequently

r2g(t/r)=4(dt21+⋯+dt2n)(∥t/r∥2+1)2=4r4(dt21+⋯+dt2n)(∥t∥2+r2)2.

Therefore, the F-14 Module will be released when it is released.

OMG LOOOOOL :megalol:

Released in 2017? Possible. Complete? Definitely in late 2018.

i would not bet money on it being "complete" by 2018
