I don't think any of our guys know the lau programming yet. The carrier ops s top notch still, compared to any simulation. With what we have now, and with time, we can make this sim much better graphically and more realistic. Okay thanks for the reply.

some above spoke about programming, what does that mean, does that mean you guys have the source code and plan to do things with it or what?
yes

yes omg omg omg? if you guys can do things like Free Falcon or even Falcon BMS with Jane's F/A-18 then it's going to be the best news in military jet sim genre at this decade! well at least until DCS F-18 came out lol... a high fidelity fully clickable cockpit is IMO the first step though, after these falcons, dcs and vrs, the non clickable cockpit in jane's f/a-18 feel prehistoric

... well at least until DCS F-18 came out lol...
It will still miss a ground radar Oh, and I bet DCS won't be able to re-create carrier ops just as good as the old Jane's team did back then...

Well actually the next DCS aircraft will be US multirole aircraft which will no doubt have A/G radar, the DCS F-15E will also have A/G radar and 2 seat MP. (DCS F-15E from Iris) ED is helping 3rd party devs make these addons. BTW DCS will have better carrierops with F-14D, F/A-18E and AV8B in development by 3rd party. So far FSX has the best carrierops for a sim, FC2 also has Carrierops for the Su33 but no doubt if a 3rd party dev wanted ground crew on the deck like in DIs Superhornet no doubt they could.

These are all very great news but stating that everything will be better at this point is pure speculation Let's just wait and see - if all that happens and is better than the old dinosaur that Jane's is, we'll all benefit from it! Cheers!

A new work on JFA-18 sounds AMAZING! Is it already the time to ask for a changelog or screenies? Best regards blue_plasma

Best regards blue_plasma Way too early to be talking about change logs, and screenies are going to reveal little at this point. But hell, if we can a DX8 version of this up and running on win7 machines, especially 64 bit machines, then believe me we'll let you know. Now the word is out, so it is perhaps not too early to spread the news. We need a few more C++ coders on the team to help us move this along, so it's just word of mouth recruitment.

just a thought, how about sharing any info or coding from this JF-18 source code to the DCS/3rd party DCS who build the F-18 series or even other groups like seven-g or vrs? will that be beneficial to the whole community? heck who knows maybe this can save coretex design many precious time on building the DCS F-18E? the VRS team for example, candidly admitted that they borrowed some weapons/avionics function they didn't know from JF-18. speaking about F-18 sim, I stumbled upon combatsim old review/comparison between DISH & JF18 and saw this Does this mean Jane's is absolutely exhaustive? No. For example, the real F/A 18 actually displays RWR info in the HUD, but Jane's does not model this for the sake of reducing clutter. curious, is that true? what kind of RWR info? is that the some kind of arrows pointing where the potential threats directions are? how come VRS team 'missed it'? I thought that was fiction?

This would be a very bad idea and I'm pretty sure DCS, 7G, VRS and any other respectable business would say no anyways - imagine the wide opened door to serious lawsuits if EA code was found in other companies products - even "borrowing" some concepts would be highly illegal.

Each sim you reference has it's own specific limitations and challenges and there are surely some things would be useful from Janes FA-18, if we could somehow just cut and paste those features in -- but it's code and it's not that easy, even if it was legal. Probably not even possible, in fact. Would be easier to just code it in there from scratch.
