Stable updated after OB had new A-10C cockpit means it also has new A-10C cockpit.

 

Cheers!

[razo+r]

That was the OB update. I was asking when stable got it in response to Falcon's post.

 

Scroll down the list and you'll see it.

[BuzzU]

I don't see anything scrolling down but I do see it at the top of the page. I went right by that the first time I looked.

 

Thanks, guys.

[schurem]

This o e seems pretty good. I saw fine performance and didn't see many bugs over a couple evening's flying. This one might go to stable..

Thank You BigNewy.

 

I've been on here everyday skimming for news. Next week cannot come soon enough... For so many reasons

[Raisuli]

As much as I hate doing the AOL thing...thanks, BN! That's something you should hear more than the griping.

I hope for SLAM for Hornet. We have a datalink pod already, so slam-er is the next :)

Where/what is the datalink pod you are referring to??

[Dusty44]

Where/what is the datalink pod you are referring to??

 

Here is a video showing the F18 using the datalink pod with a walleye bomb

 

 

The JF-17 also has a datalink pod that is used with CM-802AKG

[jojyrocks]

Will the 3D models of Su-30, Mig 25 and Mig 31 be ever updated?

 

 

 

I don't see it in the planned roadmap of AI 3D models.
