Donut Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Per Wags, the F-14 may not be useable with the upcoming Supercarrier... https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=4179520&postcount=11 What support is needed from Heatblur to make it work? i5 7600K @4.8GHz | 1080 Ti | 32GB 3200MHz | SSD | DCS SETTINGS | "COCKPIT" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra847 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Nothing, except the F14 and the supercarrier existing on the same version of DCS. We are working on compiling the F14 for EDs development branch.

Terrorban Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 So the carrier crew is confirmed to interact with the F-14 on ship and the specific landing procedures for this jet will be available with the supercarrier? Unless there is not difference at all between the landing calls and procedures for tomcat and hornet.

r4y30n Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 (edited) No, ED made a new branch to build the carrier in, HB needs to put the Tomcat in that branch so they can finish development and testing. This new branch will be integrated back into main before it hits the OB that we'll see. This is all normal game dev stuff.

Once ED showcases some actual gameplay footage and provide additional clarity regarding deck crew, I will definitely get the supercarrier module.

Naturally we'll do anything from our side we can to make that happen, and what is required from us. We do intend and hope this will be the case on launch of the supercarrier.

Ddaddy Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) It's 2 businesses that have been successful so far. I think that leadership in both realize that it's mutually beneficial for both to insure this happens. Not knowing details of the relationship I do know; 1. DCS has shown it does a good (great) job developing and supporting the sim community (almost inarguably the best sim available). 2. Heatblur has a good (great) product as evidenced by us and our desire for the product and IronMike's comments to support and develop the product for us. 3. Obviously technically possible. So the business details will be worked out with both having the same goals, make money through serving customers. Whether it gets done at launch time of SC isn't really relevant, just know that it will be done in a time frame to accomplish the mutual goals as successfully as possible. Imo of course. Now, how do i start this thing! Edited January 22, 2020 by Ddaddy grammar R5 2600 @4.2 GHZ, 16GB ram @ 3133, 1060 6GB at 2100 and 4400 970 Evo, TM16000M FCS Flight Pack and old eyes.

RustBelt Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Does anyone else think the relationship between ED and Heatblur just seems strange? I mean, it seems to be the way ED does everything so it's consistent. I get the impression that like a lot of non-big class A Development company projects, not a lot of inter-documentation is happening. With the stuff I've had to do with Coder/Computer Science types, getting any documentation was always like pulling teeth. So their code was always a big spaghetti bowl full of surprises. It Worked, but sometimes even they couldn't fully tell you why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronMike Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Everything is fine gents, and nothing was meant to contradict. As cobra said, we need to make it available for intergration in a certain branch, and that is what we will do, and as Nineline said, then we will test/ adjust what is necessary. We do hope that all this will lead to it being available to work with the supercarrier from day one, unforeseen possibilities excluded. No need to concern yourselves with ED/Heatblur relationships, gents. I know the drama lama never sleeps, hehe, but all is good. :-) Heatblur Simulations Please feel free to contact me anytime, either via PM here, on the forums, or via email through the contact form on our homepage. http://www.heatblur.com/ https://www.facebook.com/heatblur/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger-II Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) I mean, it seems to be the way ED does everything so it's consistent. I get the impression that like a lot of non-big class A Development company projects, not a lot of inter-documentation is happening. With the stuff I've had to do with Coder/Computer Science types, getting any documentation was always like pulling teeth. So their code was always a big spaghetti bowl full of surprises. It Worked, but sometimes even they couldn't fully tell you why. I wish people with zero understanding of software would refrain from commenting on it. We are not "coders" - we are software engineers who have spent years studying and becoming experts at what we do. If you think the code is "spaghetti" maybe it's because people keep making silly demands of us to deliver a project last week. I'm sick of non-software people thinking they know anything about it because "they work with Computer Science types".
