Predator.v2 10 Posted October 26, 2013 We could need a visual indicator in the hud or on the screens, that the afterburner is active. Btw, are GBU supposed to be lockable on vehicles? I should they should only be lockable on lasers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Spartan 89 Posted October 26, 2013 (edited) @all, next update is to be released this Sunday morning. - new aerial refuelling feature added [from buddy pod] - fuel drop sequence added [equipping fuel tanks have a meaning now] - updated in game UI with visual ID of tail hook/burner status - some tweaks on weapons config and behaviour - animations and small tweak's in both pilot and gunner views - tail hook becomes fully functional [not dependant on A3 version of Jdogs Nimitz by TeTet] - few animation tweak's on 3rd person view - HUD crosshair misalignment fixed [now spot on for dogfights] - ejection sequence is added as a built in feature - PIP settings auto detect built in [no longer black mirrors if PIP disabled] - pilots gear revised [bit more realistic] - Service Menu now accessible from Nimitz deck and hardened hangars on Altis Edited October 26, 2013 by John_Spartan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
progamer 14 Posted October 26, 2013 Awww yeeeaaahh. Cannot wait! Your FA-18 mod has set a very high bar for others to aim at.With your aircraft are you strictly planning on running current day set ups or will you consider developing the aircraft (weapons loadouts/skins etc) to match the Armaverse 2035 setting? No sci-fi weapons please. Just weapons that the aircraft use in real life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chortles 263 Posted October 26, 2013 No sci-fi weapons please. Just weapons that the aircraft use in real life.Oh good grief... :rolleyes:Though I'll note that we're not even going to have a clue what "Armaverse 2035 loadouts" look like until the CSAT CAS jet arrives. Very interested in seeing how well this "official" support for the Nimitz plays out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well Chortles point is that just because it's 2035, it doesn't mean that "2035" weapons/loadout will be scifi. And by making the comment "No sci fi weapons please", that's kinda what you were implying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
13islucky 10 Posted October 26, 2013 @all, next update is to be released this Sunday morning. - ejection sequence is added as a built in feature This seems pretty awesome. Can you get stuck on the canopy while Kenny Loggins sings on a bed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Spartan 89 Posted October 26, 2013 (edited) @13isLucky - BTW during development of ejection feature trails it happened on 0 altitude ejection - "goose" effect - WSO hits the canopy, PhysX collision kicks in and his seat is not high enough to deploy chute... , now its fixed and in most cases ejection will be safe for bout pilots. But yes download "danger zone" track and soon you will test it yourself. Edited October 26, 2013 by John_Spartan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Predator.v2 10 Posted October 26, 2013 Not sure if this could still make it in the sunday release or if it is either way realistic or wanted. When you check your hud, all air and ground vehicles have a rectangle around them. Usually this feature is important for lock-ons or identifying targets beyond visual range, it can be a pain in the ass, for example when you try to land on a crowded runway or particular on a carrier. Rectangles are all over the screen and block your vision. I wondered, if it would be wanted/realistic/possible to remove the target rectangle on the master arms SAFE modus. What do you think about this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I´m really anxious to see the ejection feature, no flight sim has the first person view on ejection (Falcon, LOMAC, etc) must be thrilling! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

progamer 14 Posted October 27, 2013 The front flaps on the wing violently twitch. Seems like a bug. ---------- Post added at 23:58 ---------- Previous post was at 23:54 ---------- I am no expert but don't real life ejection seats contain the parachute and not use a parachute on the pilots back? My view is also locked when using the ejection seat. The seat also flies forward and perfectly level, shouldn't it spin, rock and roll? Other than that love the new ejection features.

John Spartan 89 Posted October 27, 2013 Regarding front flaps - this is how game engine handles AoA control, once aircraft gets on some gap on carrier it animates it. That was the reason why in A2 we disabled this feature. Lets see what we can do and how bad is it, if it will end as a major game breaking thing we will revert it, we need some tests in MP on this. Ejection will be fully functional with next update, and tweaked once A3 Tools will be released. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

saul 24 Posted October 27, 2013 @ProGamer = Need more detail on the leading edge flaps twitching. If the Nimitz is involved this is a known bug caused by the aircraft carrier itself. Again this is a pre-release version with the full 1.5 version to be delivered next Friday. Do not mirrior please, thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GranolaBar 10 Posted October 27, 2013 Maybe a suggestion in a old future. I don't know if there is a tips for a plane could forward in Arma. If we can had a option in menu to attach the plane to an assist vehicule to track the plane, it's could be funny, particulary on the Nimitz when it's very difficult to move to hangar, enter and exit it without problem...

Do not mirrior please, thank you. I put the F/A-18E on the runway. I started up the engine and began to move forward. Using the "W" and "S" key while doing so caused the front flaps to spaz out.

progamer 14 Posted October 28, 2013 We will look into pro :D What about break flaps? The tail flaps don't seem like they'd work by themselves as breaks. Also will we see the ability to use breaks while taxiing? Is it possible to make use of Physx on the refueling hose? It seems unrealistically stiff at the moment. And will we see the collision lights affecting the environment? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
