Roadmap maybe?

I might be pushing at open doors, my forum search skills may very well be inadequate. :music_whistling:

The Viggen module is by far my favorite module, so I was hoping there would be an regularly updated roadmap regarding its development?

Keep up the good work!

Development of the Viggen has been extremely slow in the past 2 years. Every year they assert that they don't want to be stuck in an eternal beta rut and will complete the Viggen later that year, but then only release a handful of fixes througout the year (which I do appreciate!) and repeat the same next year. It's been like this for a few years now and it makes me pretty sad, because it takes to complete the Viggen at that pace. :(

2017:

We don't want to be stuck in the eternal Beta rut.

2018:

Hey Everyone.

 

We're in a bit of quiet mode because of the holiday period - expect news on the Viggen and the plan for the final few patches before 1.0 release just after new years eve.

 

Thanks for flying the Viggen in 2018! <3

2019:

The Viggen is not a second rate citizen for us. Our priorities are now aligned so as to launch these remaining items without question later this year.

Our sincere apologies for it taking longer than expected!

End of 2019:

We will follow-up this patch with another Release Candidate patch next year, which will focus on delivering the final major elements that will complete this product.

2020: :dunno:

No one knows really. What the Viggen still awaits are the new sounds, various art fixes to the pilot model and an external model and texture overhaul. Kind of sad that it became a second class cotizen among all the delays with the Tomcat.

Thanks for the info guys!

And bug fixes!

And bug fixes!

Those too, numerous smaller ones. Will be interesting how the ground radar gets affected by ED's Hornet shenanigans in the next update.

I think bombing modes need to be revisited too.

Wish there was an English cockpit

The cabin of the plane with the native language is more correct and sincere

In a literal sense, yes. In a meta sense it isn't. A translated cockpit simulates the linguistic familiarity a native speaker would have in that cockpit.

Don't like it? Don't use it. That simple, but theres no reason it shouldn't be there for those who don't want to learn swedish.

Also, we need a working IFF although one which does not cause CTD should be a great improvement.

But we are second-rate pilots.

Money talked.

Major items include the exterior sound overhaul and PBR overhaul. There are not many changes beyond that planned except for bugfixing.

We'll be feature complete, stable and mostly bug-free. That's what we consider release status. We think the Viggen, even in it's present state fulfills that status.

Ground radar overhaul with the new API is not planned.

Assuming the irritating BER bug has been taken care of, I would love the mentioned sound overhaul - and a more spectacular afterburner effect in the dark.

I don't know if the latter is a core DCS limitation, but the current effect looks more like a glowing candle in a spa than the terrifying blast from a roaring afterburning turbofan. :thumbup:

Thanks Cobra! As a Viggen customer (I don't have the F-14) it feels good that you pop in here and talk to us every once in a while.

What about the J 35? I hope that is first in line before A-6 and some other F-14 promises.

except for bugfixing.

Still a lot to do there... :music_whistling:

PBR?

Still hope you would consider adding an english cockpit. The modded one is great but might break every now and then when ED changes things. So this would be one less thing to worry about.

With regards to bugfixing, could you please take into account the recommendations and bugs raised by Hilmerby? He used to fly the Viggen IRL and provided some nice hints on how things should work

Is the J-35 still planned?

I dearly hope so.

I feel the Viggen needs this plus a lot more Swedish assets.

Totally agree, hopefully we hear some news from HB on their AI assets soon...

Thought about the Simpsons episode where Norwegian people do all the work in Springfield and how they laugh...

Love the country, too long since I've been there...

I really want to buy it, but the aircraft keeps causing regular momentary freezes and semi-regular computer crashes. I just can't support a product that I can't use.

I get that they don't want to be constantly fixing it in open beta, but if that's the case I'd rather they just finished it and only guarantee stability for release build of DCS.
