Zeus67 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Okay folks, since the cat is out of the bag. I am now allowed to tell you one of the reasons for the AV-8B NA exclusive priority: ED is going to show it at E3. But it had to meet some minimum requirements and that meant that we had to dedicate all our time to it. So in 6 months we had to get the aircraft to near beta status. E3 demo aircraft has been delivered and now we must met another goal. But pressure has been released a little so we also have been testing some FM updates. If we get the green light from the beta testers we will release the FM update on time for the big 2.1.1 release, otherwise it will have to wait for the next one. Avionics update will have to wait a little longer. 1 "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.

TomCatMucDe Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Avionics update will have to wait a little longer. may I ask how long? Good news for the Harrier at E3 along with Hornet. I also suspected this. To be honest with you Zeus, I would like to see the Mirage finished before pulling my wallet and get the Harrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeus67 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 may I ask how long? About three weeks at most. Good news for the Harrier at E3 along with Hornet. I also suspected this. Thanks. Of course the queen of the E3 show will be the Hornet. To be honest with you Zeus, I would like to see the Mirage finished before pulling my wallet and get the Harrier.I understand your position and I appreciate it.

some1 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Thanks! What will be in "avionics update"? Pretty significant changes to how master modes work and how A2A weapons are selected.

T_A Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Great news! Actually i was hopping the rush was since you had to finish the Harrier before F-18C and F-14 Early Access this year or wait your turn (assuming there can`t be more than 1 module release in a month ) Anyway i`m excited about having the Harrier in E3 , looks like ED has a lot of faith in you and so does the community!

microvax Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 "MAG option in the PCA is used to activate magic seeker search option. It does not select the missile for launch nor does it set the system in AA mode." Is that the option someone spoke about at some point where the magic will basically work as a poor mans IRST running a search pattern and if they find something one can slave radar to that ?

First part is correct and you can slave your radar to the infrared seeker. Edit : Corrected from jojo's answer.

jojo Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 First part is correct but I really don't think you can slave your radar to the infrared seeker... In the Mirage yes you can. Mirage fanatic !

OnlyforDCS Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Hi all, while the FM updates are looking extremely promising, they still need a bit more polish to get into your hands. I want to make sure it's as polished as can be and matching all the data we've been able to scoop up over time. I'm sorry we didn't make this cut this update but driving to have this out on the next one. Thanks for the update!

jojo Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 The Magic slave button works in the 2 ways, Magic to radar or radar to Magic. And you have 2 separates buttons for Magic unlock and radar unlock.

If the radar and the seeker have different targets locked, is it the magic that is slaved to the radar ?

jojo Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Interesting, thanks for the info :). If the radar and the seeker have different targets locked, is it the magic that is slaved to the radar ? This is my guess, but if both radar and Magic are locked, then the slave button would do nothing. I think you would need to unlock one of both, then slave to have Magic and radar on the same target. By the way, to avoid misunderstanding and frustration: RIGHT NOW IT WORKS ONLY ONE WAY: MAGIC SLAVED TO RADAR. Mirage fanatic !
