westr Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I think Razbam said about it some time back then polychop I believe, but I think that one will be unlikely. Come on Heatblur!

Eldur Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 I guess one of those 3rd party devs was VEAO. They literally have been working on a module for every single plane that existed if I remember their old roadmaps right, SCNR Heatblur has lots of tech done already in the Viggen and the upcoming Tomcat to be able to make a Tornado module reality. The other dev teams don't. And I'd prefer HB anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'd prefer HB anyway Yep. That`s why I will still bet my money on Heatblur.

QuiGon Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 This peaked my interest. Which ones? Mainly RAZBAM and Polychop said that they have plans for a Tornado. RAZBAM even posted a screenshot of an early Tornado mesh: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2925744&postcount=84 https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2923301&postcount=56 VEAO did also show interest in making a Tornado in the past, but their plans have changed obviously. Despite the announcements of Polychop and especially RAZBAM, I still think that a Tornado from Heatblur is more feasible, due to the reasons stated by Eldur above.

I hope Razbam wont take the Tornado. Though I cant see HB doing it. I think they are going with american modules to use to the max their tech developped in the F14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are going with american modules to use to the max their tech developped in the F14 A lot of HBs tech is actually VERY suited for the Tornado (they did not just develop tech for the Tomcat, but also for the Viggen in case you forgot). Some examples of Heatblur tech needed for the Tornado: - Ground mapping Radar (Viggen) - Jester AI (Tomcat) - Variable Sweep Wing (Tomcat) - Thrust Reverse (Viggen) - Monochrome display shader tech (Viggen + Tomcat) - ...

unknown Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 A-6 Intruder - Iconic The biggest + for the A-6 compared to all other requests/wishes, at least that we know of, is that it is under active development. - they have a 3D model of the A-6 - it is coming as an AI plane - they are trying to get a license for it from ED, thats why they develop it with "DCS A-6E" in mind That said, i wish the next module from HB is an A-6, but that doesn't mean that i don't wish for a Tornado/A-7.....done by HB, after the A-6. :smilewink: Modules: KA-50, A-10C, FC3, UH-1H, MI-8MTV2, CA, MIG-21bis, FW-190D9, Bf-109K4, F-86F, MIG-15bis, M-2000C, SA342 Gazelle, AJS-37 Viggen, F/A-18C, F-14, C-101, FW-190A8, F-16C, F-5E, JF-17, SC, Mi-24P Hind, AH-64D Apache, Mirage F1, F-4E Phantom II System: Win 11 Pro 64bit, Ryzen 3800X, 32gb RAM DDR4-3200, PowerColor Radeon RX 6900XT Red Devil ,1 x Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 2TB NVMe, 2 x Samsung SSD 2TB + 1TB SATA, MFG Crosswind Rudder Pedals - VIRPIL T-50CM and VIRPIL MongoosT-50 Throttle - HP Reverg G2, using only the latest Open Beta, DCS settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4n Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 A-6E would be really really nice too of course, because multicrew (2 players can fly together). Can it carry a targeting pod though?

QuiGon Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Can it carry a targeting pod though? Afaik not. Only the special purpose A-6C was equipped with the so called Trails/Roads Interdiction Multi-sensor pod (TRIM pod), which was one of the first TGPs in history. It was used in the Vietnam war to interdict the Hoh-Chi-Minh trail. But other than that I'm not aware of any TGP usage on the A-6.

unknown Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 For me the most interesting feature is the DIANE system of the A-6.

mrmertz Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Eternal Beta We're working on another complex jet which will make good use of our own technologies. We're also looking at expanding the F-14 product, but will look more closely at what exactly that means after release. That said, 2018 will be mostly the year of improvements to both the F-14 and Viggen. We don't want to be stuck in the eternal Beta rut. Congrats. One of the reasons I don’t bite on aircraft as soon as they are released is the bugs aren’t worked out until way, way after initial release, some if even then on some aircraft. Hence the “eternal beta rut”. I give them two thumbs up on fighting against the eternal beta approach. Seems like in DCS it’s more or less the norm for releases to be in beta mode for what seems like an eternity. Personally, I’d rather have a finished product before they shove their resources into the next greatest thing. Finish baking what you’ve got first before running off to find another recipe to make - whatever the hell that means. No disrespect to the OP. Always fun to dream tho.

FoxAlfa Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 After the Tomcat, and I know that this has probability been requested a lots time before, I would love a extension for Viggen with JA 37 version (early without cockpit and aim-120 amraam updates shouldn't be too different from AJ 37 and take lot of time and resources). Even as a payable add on ------- All the people keep asking for capabilities to be modelled.... I want the limitations to be modelled.... limitations make for realistic simulation.
