I can't wait for an update! Looking forward to this. I do not mean to hijack, but I have been away for a while. Do the MODEX's change on the Tomcat yet?

 

Thanks!

Modex numbers aren't dynamic yet but I personally prefer the baked in modex numbers, as they do look better.

Yeah look, I’d dare say we’re not going to see the Forrestal this year. Considering there has been really no word on its progress. It’d be a splendid surprise if it were to leave dry dock this year, but time is rapidly running out. Really just wish they could give us even some progress picks of how it’s looking, but oh well.

Agree. Realistically, the last major update this year will be the 18th or maybe the 20th. Christmas & New Years Day fall on the following two Wednesdays.

 

I'm with you! Full of hope of receiving "something" for the Turkey this year. Initially, HB stated they will try to update the F-14 roughly every to weeks. Problem is, their 2 weeks not always correlate with the ED's open beta patches and so the whole Tomcat Updating went out of sync. No idea if anything from the "Road Map" is planned for release in the upcoming 18/12 (20/12) patch.. :/

Never say never, Baby!

Yup, 1 major update, then maybe a hotfix as a follow on. Then a 1 month pause for the holidays since Russian holiday season is in early january as I understand it.

The Forrestal will launch this year- not sure which month exactly yet.

We do, we should have a general developer update soon for you guys again, where we explain everything a bit more. But, we are still committed to releasing it this year.

It's going to be so nice to get the Forrestal this year!

 

The silence means only the team is working hard & are going to stand by their words & surprise us on Christmas :thumbup:.

I rewatched the 20% off vid, sadly not Forrestal that I could see.

 

It sounds like they're winding down for the holiday already and they did push out some major content for the Viggen guys. I'm going to just figure we come back from the new year and Forrestal shows up somewhere in January.

Strange that Cobra seemed so confident earlier in the year that it would get released. Seems like a lot of things at HB had slowed down quite heavily in the second half of this year. Oh well, here’s to looking forward to 2020. Have a great holiday everyone.

Well they atleast mentioned they wouldn't make it for the TWS Auto and Phoenix stuff. Haven't heard anything about the forrestal though. Im sure it will show up in the new year at some point as others have said.

I'm wondering if the issues with their new missile behavior not working in multiplayer slowed things up, with the expectation they could finish it and move on but then it just wasn't working, meaning time spent trying to get that to work instead of Forrestal coding.

Cobra mentioned on Reddit that they hope to have it ready in January.

 

Also said they were working through the holidays to get that done. IMO that's not worth it for the 3rd year in a row. I think most people here would prefer that the team takes a break and we get it a little later.

Please, please, PLEASE make it VR performance friendly! The existing carriers bring DCS to a shuddering halt due to their usual inclusion of so many performance-zapping aircraft on deck. Is there a clever way to populate the deck with "imitation" aircraft that make the deck look busy, without requiring the rendering of 10+ detailed Hornets or Cats up top?

Thanks for your concern guys, but don't worry, we will get family time and we'll close shop for 14 days afterwards, all good.

Hi, i read on this thread that the Forrestal will be usable by anyone, does it mean only in mission, or everyone could create a mission with the Forrestal in the mission editor without owning the Tomcat?

 

Thanks for the reply

 

meaning if its in an online server you jump in i think you can land and spawn on it if you have the airframe. otherwise no, I dont think youd get it, itd be like getting super carrier for free.
