Thanks Wags for sharing the changelog prior to 1.2.8 release.

This is insane! Thank you very much!

Please confirm if also the SU-25T pilot 3D model has been updated to the SU-25 standard.

6DOF for SU25T and Su-33...God I am crying..seriously..

crying ?

why ?

im happy - Matt wrote new 6dof su-25t cockpit, not 6dof movements for the current old cockpit

the whole 1.2.8 preliminary changelog is cool :thumbsup: thanks Matt

I wonder in how far the logic for chaff and flare rejection has changed.

Plus, "internal cargo" sounds nice, too.

crying ?

im happy - Matt wrote new 6dod su-25t cockpit, not 6dof movements for the current old cockpit

My guess is they are tears of joy =P

Im excited for this. I don't fly the 15 but the 33 and 25T's new pit are really what makes me happy with this update :) Now to get the AFM for the Su-27 and the new models and pit for the Mig-29 :)

I was just wondering the other day why the civvy Huey had flex sights. Question answered. :)

Ricardo has done us proud, now it's time to move on. Cheers ED for the '33 pit! :)

Great update list so far Matt! Thanks :thumbup:

tears of joy - yep, hopefully :)

sure with the new su-27, su-33 and mig-29 6dof cockpits, afm, and external 3d models the fc3 story will be finished totally, nor more lockon

all fc3 flyable aircrafts and the free dcsw su-25t will be completed- all with afm, cockpits and detailed external models :thumbsup:

Rift support!

Excellent news. Thanks Matt.

You rock, ED! :thumbup:

Rift support!

yeah, great but i cant get what the "this does not include front end GUI yet" means :unsure:

• Corrected HE warheads for unguided rockets.

Hmmmm....reckon this is a better HE blast/frag model for HE rockets, or just some kind of balancing with the current model? I'm assuming the latter, I guess a new blast/frag model is more engine related and less individual weapon related? Won't get my hopes up.

As usual, nice change list, F15 AFM and SU25T 6DOF the icing on the cake of course...

Eh, will this be an open beta or? :huh:

There is no user setup/config screen/menu.

O M G !!!

Nothing more to say

Right there with you - 25T 6DOF..... :pilotfly:

fantastic update,

ability to move naval units sounds great.

I know someone who will be excited about controlling AI aircraft in MP...

F-15C AFM, Su33 and Su25T 6dof cockpits...pure excelence :)

• Reworked chaff and flare rejecting logic for AA and SAM missiles.

I'm interested how big impact this will have :)

Very excited about what I see. 3D cockpits for Su-25T and Su-33 finally coming out and even the AFM for the Eagle. Granted I don't fly the F-15 much but I'll definitely be hopping in her to see the AFM. Internal cargo trigger sounds like there might be interesting things coming up.

I am definitely curious in seeing what this additional armor option is for the Huey, if it is something to keep my pilot's chest from being ventilated as easily then I'm all for slapping it on.

Only thing I am sad to not see that I keep hoping for relates to the Hip notes - I keep hoping we get gunner positions in her finally. The 190 missing isn't making me sad because I didn't really expect her to be released until after 1.2.8 is done and pushed out. She could always show up after the patch.

But still great patch ED, looking forward to trying my hand at SEAD again with the Toad now that I have a nice 3D cockpit.
