This:

Code:
'JESTER AI' - A Proprietary AI System for fully voiced, dependable and smart RIO/WSO


If they pull it off, is going to be awesome! Hopefully something that they are willing to license to other developers but either way ... awesome!

Indeed, the possibilities that'd be if a good AI back seater could be constructed are vast.

I think OP could have stated it better, but he has a point. Leatherneck has posted (very high quality) model renders of their cat, and that's it. Nothing in game, and nothing on the cockpit so far. They've also thrown down some innovative and I imagine complex feature goals combined with a very optimistic release date. Obviously they know better their state of development than I do, but I'm just saying that it might prevent a lot of grief and animosity that always seems to pop up whenever release dates are involved if everyone takes that 2015 date with a grain of salt.

I'm not trying to rain on the fun parade or discredit Leatherneck (after that MiG i'm extremely confident they can pull this off), but show stopping issues seem to have a nasty habit of creeping up in the world of DCS development and this is probably the most ambitious project announced for DCS so far outside of the Hornet/carrier overhaul.

All that said, I'm still extremely excited about this announcement, and will be auto-purchasing it day 1, no matter what. I'd love a 2015 release date as much as the next guy, but I'm ready to wait a little if I have to.

I dunno. Optimistic, maybe. But they've doubled their dev team from 4 to 8, they've got experience from the MiG-21 that they got out fast considering the problems surrounding it, and it was groundbreaking quality for DCS when it was released. So to be honest, I would not consider it too improbable that we'll see the Tomcat relatively soon. Maybe it doesn't wind up being Q4 2015 (that is after all by their own admission what they hope for now, at an early stage) but I have little doubt it will be very delayed if they don't make that date, even in comparison to delays experienced by other far less sophisticated DCS modules.

They have super sonic pfm and a2a radar experience.

I think'll do fine.

Building the mesh is the most time consuming part of the 3D art.

Animating,unwrapping and exporting not.so.much

I share your optimism.
LNS have proven that they're a capable bunch and they have gained a lot of experience with their Mig-21. I'm positive that they can pull it off.

The only question is in what timeframe can they pull it off.

So, will that Jester AI include modeling airsickness? That was my favorite part or USNF '97.

Considering they've already shown they can pull off a high quality aircraft in DCS, I eagerly await this one. Release dates ebb and flow but I've no doubt it'll be released as a quality product when it's ready

Sounds great Cobra!
