Tirak Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 So is this capability planned as part of the module now officially, and is it expected at early access launch or not expected until after the early access development cycle is under way? I need to update my chart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvern Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I wasn't planning on buying the Tomcat because I thought it wouldn't have LANTIRN. Now I will be your No.1 customer. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattebubben Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 How far along is its implementation? Can we expect the Lantirn on the initial release? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boberro Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 This image looks not so fancy, it looks more like DCS implementation (so very simple), than real one. But I presume you know that so it is just very alpha state of Lantirn, final version will be much more realistic. Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make...

ben_der Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 FLIR Imaging has to be overhauled by ED, I guess Heatblur can't do much how the Graphics Engine renders such effects. They can only tweak them a bit but not overhaul the shader. But ED has already announced that FLIR Imaging will be reworked one day :smartass: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crow0827 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Nice work, Heatblur! I have a question. what lines are in the image? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moafuleum Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Nice work, Heatblur! I have a question. what lines are in the image? I was told on a FB Group that it represents the approximate blast radius of the weapon being employed* (*Not responsible for errors or omissions) ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arekushi Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Nice work, Heatblur! I have a question. what lines are in the image? I think the lines you're talking about are the limit of the pod before the image is being masked by the aircraft. The blast radius circle was implemented with the Sniper XR if I recall well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gyrovague Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Nice work, Heatblur! I have a question. what lines are in the image? These lines are the mask avoidance curve AFAIK, shows where the aircraft will be masking the laser or IR video. They're not accurately positioned yet, just placeholder currently from video footage. If our model of LANTIRN Targeting System and pylon and F-14 external is all correct, "in theory" our mask avoidance curve will look the same. ____________ Heatblur Simulations [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amalahama Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Wow very cool HB!!! Keep it rolling! To the F-14 pros out there, is the F-14A LANTIRN capable or it's a toy for -Bs only? Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vampyre Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Wow very cool HB!!! Keep it rolling! To the F-14 pros out there, is the F-14A LANTIRN capable or it's a toy for -Bs only? Regards It'll be a F-14B only if Heatblur are still making a mid-80's F-14A and a mid-90's F-14B. Truly superior pilots are those that use their superior judgment to avoid those situations where they might have to use their superior skills.
