Fri13 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 The update mentioned that the Mi24 would be the "next helicopter" to come to DCS. Does this mean it will be released before the Kiowa? That would be surprising - the Kiowa is already being demo'd on livestreams and we haven't seen an exterior model for the Hind... The Hind was already teased by Wags (prematurely, as after it the engine found missing flight dynamics features in helicopters and requires fixing all of them) if I remember correctly, it was the F-5 video, in same the Yak-52 was as well teased just before release. The yes Yak was at the left side on start, and Hind was at right side at end of taxiing. It was the famous "What is that Hind doing here?" phrase. i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.

CybrSlydr Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Question about this: "Last year we used the AIM-7 as a testbed to implement several air-to-air missile performance and guidance improvements. Early this year we will be doing the same for the AIM-120. The AIM-120 performance in 2020 will be closer to claimed specifications given adjustments to G-induced drag in the trans-sonic region, and we improved the efficiency of the lofting profile." I know the 120C the Viper and Hornet use just got a modest boost in performance, to what specs will the above modification to the weapon achieve?

Shadow KT Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I like how they mentioned that the MiG-23 is being developed by Razbam, as if that is a good thing :lol: Isn't the "Channel Map" be overstepping a lot of the same spots the Normandy map is ? Can't they be merged ? Besides the mentioned above super excited for Vulkan, especially the new lighting system and oh my... the AI, looking forward towards the new AI and Damage model, probably what I am most excited about, seconded by the engine (vulkan and lightning) changes 'Shadow' Everybody gotta be offended and take it personally now-a-days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unknown Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 .... As with the new Nimitz-class aircraft carrier model for Supercarrier, the Kuznetsov and Arleigh Burke will be visible to all in multiplayer, regardless if you own the Supercarrier module.... A little question, because i'm not sure if i understand this correctly(i didn't follow the Supercarrier modul because i'm not interested in it). I need to buy the Supercarrier module to be able to use the new US carrier and the new/overhauled Kuznetsov? If i don't own that module i will be able to see them in MP, but i can't use the overhauled Kuznetsov in SP, it will be the "old" one? Modules: KA-50, A-10C, FC3, UH-1H, MI-8MTV2, CA, MIG-21bis, FW-190D9, Bf-109K4, F-86F, MIG-15bis, M-2000C, SA342 Gazelle, AJS-37 Viggen, F/A-18C, F-14, C-101, FW-190A8, F-16C, F-5E, JF-17, SC, Mi-24P Hind, AH-64D Apache, Mirage F1, F-4E Phantom II System: Win 11 Pro 64bit, Ryzen 3800X, 32gb RAM DDR4-3200, PowerColor Radeon RX 6900XT Red Devil ,1 x Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 2TB NVMe, 2 x Samsung SSD 2TB + 1TB SATA, MFG Crosswind Rudder Pedals - VIRPIL T-50CM and VIRPIL MongoosT-50 Throttle - HP Reverg G2, using only the latest Open Beta, DCS settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tippis Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) 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) …soooooo… will AI aircraft actually behave like the respective aircraft and no longer have access to infinite power? :P Unless “extended envelopes” and “improved controls” should be read as “not having nearly as much control and be far more limited in their envelopes”, those sound more like areas where the AI don't really need improved capabilities.

bart Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) Fantastic newsletter ED :thumbup: WW2 should see huge advances in both gameplay and immersion in the near future. I was sold anyway on the Supercarrier and Mosquito for this year, but you guy's also got me hooked for the new Channel map too which looks stunning BTW. Will be great for full intruder missions in the Mosquito from UK to northern France and back. Nice to see the core game getting some attention too, look forward to the new night lighting, hope it's a big improvement to what we have now which looks not so good flying at night in VR. Keep up the great work guy's :) Edited January 10, 2020 by bart System :- i7-12700K 3.6 GHz 12 core, ASUS ROG Strix Z690-A Gaming, 64GB Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 3200MHz, 24GB Asus ROG Strix Geforce RTX 3090, 1x 500GB Samsung 980 PRO M.2, 1x 2TB Samsung 980 PRO M.2, Corsair 1000W RMx Series Modular 80 Plus Gold PSU, Windows 10.
