DCS: Supercarrier Update​

Since our last update on this eagerly awaited module, our team has been focused on several core features of simulation of a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier:
Creating the most accurate and detailed carrier model ever created for a flight simulation. This is not simply an update to the existing John C. Stennis aircraft carrier that we released last year, but rather a new object that is built from the ground up with accurate dimensions, high-resolution mesh and textures; animations for the elevators, antennas, defense systems, launch officer bubble, risers, catapults, jet blast deflectors, and more. The module will include unique skins for all ships of the Roosevelt sub-class that includes the Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71), Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72), George Washington (CVN73), John C. Stennis (CVN-74), and the Harry S. Truman (CVN-75). Not only will there be the correct names and CVN numbers, but we also plan unique textures and deck weathering for each ship!
The Supercarrier will include the most accurate simulation of carrier communications you have ever heard in a game. This includes Case I, II, and III operations and unique voice overs for departure, marshal, approach, tower, the landing signal officer (LSO), and even messages over the 5 MC. Many of these parts are voiced by service members that filled the actual roles! We will also include the needed voice over files to support all aircraft types that have flown from a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, including the F-14.
To make the carrier deck feel alive, deck crew is a must. We are doing this through a combination of static-placed deck crew with animations that mission creators can place and fully pathed and animated deck crew that support launch operations from all four catapults. We are pushing this feature past anything that has been done before.

In addition to these three core areas, we are also working on / planning:
• Up to 18 spawning locations on the carrier deck.
• Flood lights in addition to standard lighting.
• Long Range Laser Lineup System.
• Barricade net.
• Deck equipment like the crane, fire truck, and mules.
• Detailed Landing Signal Officer (LSO) station with functional panels to control cut lights, wave off lights, manual ball control, and PLAT camera. This can be crewed while in VR.
• “Burble” effect behind the carrier.
• Air Boss station that can also be occupied in VR and allow control of the flood lights, barricade, and view the PLAT camera.
• Immersive, 3D, Ready Room with functions to view briefings, load aircraft, view PLAT camera, vie the “Greenie Board”, view kill board that is tied to online statistics. All of this with a VR option.
• Combined Arms support for steering the carrier and using weapons.

At this time, we have no release date or pricing, but they will be available at our very soonest.

We sincerely apologize for not releasing a new Open Beta update this week, we should be back with one next week. One of the big fixes to be included will be a solution to the aircraft bouncing when taking off from a carrier and landing at an airfield. While you wait, the Grim Reapers found a nice little workaround, check out the video here. Thanks to Cap and his team at GR for their help.

Ragazzi, per chi è molto abile con l'editor non sarebbe una cattiva idea: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=250194

Dear all,

For those of you out there that are interested in creating content for DCS World in the form of 3rd Party Campaigns, your first step is to prepare information on the features of your campaign, and at least 2-3+ complete missions that will demonstrate the quality of your campaign. Once you have that prepared you can email (norm@eagledynamics.ch) or PM me here.

Once I have checked over what you have submitted, we can move on the licensing and such and get you on the road to 3rd Party Campaign creation for DCS World.

If you have any questions or concerns about this, you can PM me at any time.
Thanks!
Norm/NineLine

Interessante!!!

 

[Gaanalma]

Si potrebbe fare un lavoro di Stormo!

A ognuno un compito...

 

[Barbarossa]

Considerando che richiedono audio in inglese o americano (che alzano il livello di immersione), noi italiani siam tagliati fuori...a meno che uno non parli un inglese pressoché perfetto.

"Dear all, once again this week there will be no Open Beta update, I am sure most of you figured this out, but a proper build with the Viper is being created. While I cant say when for sure it will come, that is the current goal of the next Open Beta.

Thanks as always for your support and patience. "

si riferisce a questa settimana o alla scorsa?  [:afraid] [:afraid]

P.S messa così...il 16 è davvero alle porte...!!!  hyes: hyes: hyes:

Quindi dov'è la patch di oggi? Oggi se non erro è stata bloccata la discussione sulle patch notes perché la gente ha cominciato a lamentarsi per gli hotfix promessi da 15 giorni.

 

[Skycaptain]

Pazienza gente, pazienza.

Stanno ritardando il tutto perché vogliono approfittare della patch per introdurre l'F-16. Per una/due settimane di ritardo non succede niente, non esplode il pianeta, tranquilli.

 

[Barbarossa]

Non era di questo avviso la mia ragazza un paio di mesi fa...

Anche in quel caso non esplode il pianeta. Il massimo che può succedere diventate genitori, che vuoi che sia...  [fisc]

Negativo, ho ricontrollato e quel post è del 23/09.  [:craniate]

Quello che dicevo io (che era simile) era nella newsletter di venerdì scorso.

Chiedo venia.  [fisc] [fisc] [fisc]

 

[Falcon]

Ma veramente non è dell'f16 che ho ansia, ma dell'hotfix del radar del Mirage, che la razbam avrebbe dovuto rilasciare due settimane fa.

Ma è evidente: se la ED non ha cose sue da rilasciare, le terze parti si attaccano al tram.

 

[Djmitri]

Eh si, penso anchio che sia così...
O comunque stanno aspettando tutti perchè vogliono rilasciare davvero il 16? [fisc]
