BonSie 4 Posted June 2, 2018 Thanks for the new update. Quick thing: the pilot camera has the ability to freely lock on the ground and track vehicles but the WSO has neither. Any chance you can give the WSO camera the same features ? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
madpat3 29 Posted June 3, 2018 -can't attach buddypod -your agm 65 (2X) and gbu (2X) should better use the vanilla's "gbu-double-pylon", for the rockets and bombs clip in each other, when set to pylons next to each other. -also to prevent clipping, pylon 3 and 4 should be restricted to carry one bomb/missile only. https://www.dropbox.com/s/vtnn4d3bnhh0eik/20180603122612_1.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/055c9m1b2agw04r/20180603122606_1.jpg?dl=0 -pylon 9 of the f18-F can't be set to wso, because it's too close to pylon 10. https://www.dropbox.com/s/8v3izx9r18ci8vd/20180603114851_1.jpg?dl=0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On the pylon settings and clipping, we have a very liberal position on this: players should have all kind of possibilities, but need to take care of those clipping and unrealistic loadouts themselves. Good catch on the F/A-18F Eden loadout menu, I've changed it in the dev build: 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
madpat3 29 Posted June 4, 2018 -buddy pod only appears on pylon 11(5-8 can be selected, but will not be shown ingame) -when operating air-refuel with AI, the AI-pilot always flies too fast, so player can never reach the fuel-hose. -radar recognizes enemies as "ambigous" (tested with shilka+t100, SP) -t-100 is displayed on radar only below 4 km distance and with active radar its info (type, speed, distance, etc) will be shown only below 2km distance. (radar issues could be some bug from bohemia, because i recognized this with other mod-planes and vanilla-planes, too) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TeTeT 1523 Posted June 5, 2018 Unfortunately we got informed of a problem causing severe lag when multiple Hornets are placed in a mission. We will take a close look at the freshly introduced scripts and work on a hotfix to solve this problem. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TeTeT 1523 Posted June 6, 2018 We now have a fixed version ready for internal testing. Once a multiplayer test has been conducted, a hotfix release will be rolled out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TeTeT 1523 Posted June 7, 2018 (edited) This is a maintenance (hotfix) release for the F/A-18. The scripts used in the Super Hornet caused a massive amount of lag, especially when multiple planes were placed in a mission. This hotfix addresses the issue and helps to maintain a stable frame rate with multiple Hornets on the map. Thanks to Leshrack for updating the scripts and the whole team for testing the new version. Spoiler 2018-06-06 config, scripts - increase wheelSteeringSensitivity from 1.5 to 3, to reduce taxi turn radius - fix performance issue in scripts - remove rudder dependence on flaps 2018-06-03 config - decluttered pylon loadout menu Mirrors: Armaholic: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=22594 SW: https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=743099837 Edited June 7, 2018 by TeTeT armaholic link 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WurschtBanane 11 Posted June 12, 2018 Hey, could you remove your mod´s Air to air missiles or at least the R77 and Aim120? I honestly only use the vanilla AMRAAM/ R77 anyway because it has better missile physics, and it is really confusing to always pick the right one. MIssion makers or logistics rearming an aircraft often will not know the difference between the mod´s radar guided missiles and the vanilla ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeza 5416 Posted June 12, 2018 Remove these missiles because one player prefers others, I think I know the answer to this question and you may not like it..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, they are the SAME missiles. This mods aim120 and R77 depict the same missiles and are supposed to work the same as vanilla. Just that vanilla is modeled better when it comes to range and Probability of Kill. And last time i checked the radar guided mod missiles were heatseaking.

Just that vanilla is modeled better when it comes to range and Probability of Kill. And last time i checked the radar guided mod missiles were heatseaking. We're currently discussing internally what to do with the custom missilebox of the F/A-18 and SU-35. Clearly when it was created there were no comparable vanilla models around. Now this has changed and our limited modding time is probably spent better than mimicking/copying existing vanilla assets. However, it's too soon to tell the result, but it might well be that we axe all but a few needed models from the missilebox. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TeTeT 1523 Posted August 26, 2018 (edited) This is a maintenance release for the F/A-18. The custom missilebox weapons have been deprecated and replaced by vanilla weapons.
