kontiuka Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I noticed this also, but my question does the wing stand that high of the carrier deck on the Hornet?Ya, I was thinking that too. And the missile doesn't quite look like an AIM-7. Hard to tell from that angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven (Elysian Angel) Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Looks like an AIM-7 to me.

kontiuka Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Looks like an AIM-7 to me. Perhaps that AIM-7P we were promised ages ago? :)Maybe. Fins look a little odd to me for an AIM-7. Really thick at the base and there seems to be some protuberances on the tips. Anyway, just my uninformed opinion.:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kontiuka Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I was probably just seeing things (F18C with dummy Sparrow )Height of the pylon in the ED pic seems much higher than in that archive pic. Maybe it's just the perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldur Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Exactly that is making me doubt aswell. Also there seems to be some sort of pylon adapter there which I don't recognize I guess this is the usual pylon adapter which quadruples the drag of the whole airframe.

ED Team Wags Posted February 14, 2020 ED Team Share Posted February 14, 2020 Maybe. Fins look a little odd to me for an AIM-7. Really thick at the base and there seems to be some protuberances on the tips. Anyway, just my uninformed opinion.:P Folks, it's just an AIM-7M loaded on a Hornet with a Supercarrier deck crewman. Nothing to read into it. AIM-7P is still on the to-do list, but a very low priority compared to other features.

S. Low Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 "Aircraft Artificial Intelligence (AI) In 2019 we made initial improvements to the dogfight AI that delivers more realistic and human behaviour, this also includes implementation of modern control theory Necessary Condition Analysis (NCA) and Incremental Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion (INDI) to all our AI aircraft in DCS in 2020. The new approach will extend flight envelopes and improve AI control quality and control response in mass and moment of inertia changes. In 2020 we will continue this effort, but also devote resources to improve other AI areas to include: Beyond Visual Range (BVR) offensive and defensive behaviour Formation keeping and correct use of external lights Air-to-Ground attack maneuvers Very-low level flight and terrain following Defensive threat responses (SAM and AAA)" Does the lingo in this paragraph mean that the new AI won't be UFOs anymore?

xvii-Dietrich Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Awesome video (again) ED. Really nice to see helicopters get a feature. The use of them on the carrier looks great and seeing them fly over tropical forests sets the mind racing. With the new Ka50 (and upcoming OH58, Mi24 and Bo105) there's a rotor world to look forward to. :) Then, there's the 190 A8 paintschemes. And all the other updates too. This newsletter was definitely and inspiring one for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldur Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Are the 190A-8 liveries made by the contest winners going to be part of DCS World eventually? If we "just" can download them ourselves, lots of people won't have them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
