toni Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Hey Guys, Ive just seen the new Nimitz class on an early stage of course overflown by Wags with the Hornet . Is this going to be the only Nimitz available or is expected a Standalone module at a later date with more functions and capability ? If so , any name selected at this time ? USS Nimitz, Eisenhower, Carl Vinson , ............. Any further plans to build some other kind of Carrier even though HB is working on the Forrestal ? Thanks.

The DCS F/A-18C video show as a CVN-74 John C. Stennis / Nimitz class carrier Heatblur has working on the CV59-62 Forrestal Class Battle Group to the F-14 module, and actually has unknown if Magnitude 3 LLC will be working on a carrier to the F4-U1 module.

IceFire Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 My question is this. The Stennis as shown in the videos etc. Is that the module or the free one. Because its confusing when you guys are talking about it. I just wanna know which is the payware, have we seen it yet, and which one we're getting standard.

The initial 3D model has free, but the module assets with some functionalities has payware as "optional module". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donut Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 It's all still confusing. Are we getting a functioning Nimitz class carrier with the Hornet Early Access release? I understand that there will be a free carrier and a payware carrier with added functions. Which carrier will we have when the Hornet is first released and what functions will it have? i5 7600K @4.8GHz | 1080 Ti | 32GB 3200MHz | SSD | DCS SETTINGS | "COCKPIT" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilWillis Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 We're getting a partially functioning Nimitz class. If you watch the live feeds (which are also recorded and still available) you will find a lot of useful information gleaned from the Q&A sections which Wags covers during low points in the flights. The Nimitz class carrier will start out having Case 1 functionality, with case 2 and 3 facilities absent. They will follow after release, but the Hornet should have carrier landings available on pre-release. Also already stated (by Silver Dragon) is the fact that the Nimitz will be available to all as AI, but will have additional features added by an optional premium module. So, in answer to the question - the one you see will be both free, and a premium module depending on what you intend to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuiGon Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I wonder how this works out in MP, when people who have the carrier module and people who don't want to use the carrier together :huh: Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

cailean_556 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Maybe it would be best to have the optional paid ground crew be a part of the carrier-based modules, such as the F/A-18C and F-14. As for those that do and those that don't have/use the ground crew, I guess they just wouldn't see them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fragal Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I'll be happy as long as we get a carrier where i don't fall through the deck when i taxi over the elevator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they won't see them, they will run them over on the deck ;) But I'm more worried about other features like elevators and hangars in regard to MP and users with/without the carrier DLC.

Bloodhound57 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 (edited) This is a little bit confusing since Heatblur said they will have animated flight deck on the Forrestal Class carrier. How will this work? I hope we can land the F/A-18 on the Forrestal and the F-14 on the Nimitz! I wish they all pooled resources and just did it right for both.

Destroyer37 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 You have a hook and launch bar on both aircraft, I don't see why you couldn't land whatever aircraft you wanted on what ever carrier you wanted...

QuiGon Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 You have a hook and launch bar on both aircraft, I don't see why you couldn't land whatever aircraft you wanted on what ever carrier you wanted... Because this is not real life with real life physic. This is a software which needs compatible interfaces between the various components. Currently it seems like ED, Heatblur and RAZBAM are all developing their own carrier tech with animated crew and all that stuff. That is worrying me as well, not just because of possible incompatibilities, but also because it's an ineffective use of ressources :( Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

Flummi Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 :( I hope that the payware / freeware carrier situation won't be the same as Normandy map and the asset pack with units.

Freeroamer Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Judging that there are pictures of F/A-18s on Forrestals I would assume that it would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A hook, a cat, and possibly parking slots? Well, then I hope they will be aware of it and the elevators to the hangar deck won't be blocked by players that try to figure out how to use them when they can't :D Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

HiJack Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Great with new carriers but I hope they fix the bugs on Carl Vinson first actually as that is the one everyone have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
