F-16C Viper
Development Roadmap
In the next Open Beta, you will receive the GBU-31 and GBU-38 JDAM for the Viper! We are now working on fixing outstanding bugs related to the Air-to-Air Radar and Navigation Systems. Enhancements are also being made to the Flight Model in regards to available G and angle of attack modeling.
Once we have addressed the critical issues, we will focus our Viper efforts on completing important Air-to-Air Radar functions: DTT SAM mode, bullseye, intercept steering cue, ACM Slew, and more. The Helmet Mounted Cueing System (HMCS) with the HARM Targeting System (HTS), Link 16, Air-to-Ground Mode, and IFF will also be integrated. The AGM-154 JSOW and the ALQ-131 and ALQ-184 electronic countermeasure pods are also next in line to be added.
Supercarrier Deck Crew
Development Report
DCS: Supercarrier has received a number of notable updates to the deck crew that includes improved meshes and geometry tweaks:
- Plane director “Shooter” model has been edited to include skinning and geometry corrections.
- Improved mesh and skinning for the hands and gloves.
- A completely new and anatomically correct skeleton for the hands.
- The sailor head model has been replaced with a much more realistic one.
- The airboss model has been improved with improved hands and removed beer belly.
- Missing Level Of Details (LOD) have been added for all models.
- All seated and standing poses have been corrected and improved.
- Fixed excessive bending animation of the legs while walking.
- Fixed sliding legs.
- Fixed the intersection of arms and legs.
- Several new idle animations have been added for a more natural look.
- Mesh and skinning have been adjusted at the elbow area to reduce the effect of no mass.
- All the models have been converted to a new version of the skeleton that will provide more natural movements.
R-27 Missile
Development Report
In April of this year, we conducted preliminary Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) research of the R-27 family of missile aerodynamics. The objective was the correction of zero-lift drag and missile ballistics refinement. As a result of this research, the zero-lift drag coefficient was reduced for all R-27 missile types.
