Major Update "Firebirds" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 3)

@Smin1080p_WT Are you able to bump these bug reports so that the devs take a look at them? The issues of HUDs missing radar symbology has been going on for a while but these reports don’t seem to have been looked at in some time. Missing HUD radar symbology is a massive issue for Sim players and it would be nice to see atleast some of these get fixed.

AV-8B Plus
J-10A and JF-17
JA37D/C (Also Di on Dev server)

It would be especially nice if the Ja37 report would be worked on given that the JA37Di is intended to come in the next major update

Hey. We will take a look at them, but any HUDs not already planned for the update or already in progress likely will not be possible for this major. The team already have existing tasks there for HUD updates. Some of which are already on Dev or in progress.

So it is being considered?

As I said, the Devs are reviewing feedback and reports from the Dev server as a whole. That was not spesific to any one part of the update. Simply we don’t have answers to every subject currently that we haven’t already answered on stream / here.

understood

Sounds like a no tbh

I get that they might be getting worked on but each of these reports were made when the aircrafts first came out. Why not finish the aircraft before adding them? Like it took the bullet count being off by 1 in the AV-8B Plus HUD nearly a year after the AV-8B Plus was first added. It just seems that most of the issues would be fixed quicker if they were worked on when first reported, not kick it down the road to solve in the future.

By ignoring simple issues for months/years it just creates a backpiling of issues which take longer and longer to fix.

Let me be devil’s advocate for a moment, this is a minor bug with little to no impact on gameplay. On the other hand I can name several bugs with massive gameplay consequences that have gone unfixed for years and remain so to this day.

Yeah that one is a small one but also it should be an incredibly simple problem to fix, but yet it took a whole year to fix.

Other issues like missing radar symbology or broken gunsights should be a priority given their impact on the game for Sim players

Maybe there’s some code spaghetti or something that complicates things.

I’m not a programmer though, so fair enough

I just noticed this. Release 2024-11-1?
That means release next week. I was hoping for a release on wednesday. Oh well. I hope the change their minds on the F-15E engines until it’s too late.

I wouldn’t say that just yet. Mainly because if we just accept it it’s basically guaranteed they’ll do that, but if we don’t and try to fight it there’s at least a chance they’ll do the right thing instead.

ahem Sim Players being unable to reliably use the SHAR because no proper HUD mode )))

Though I think Josh’s point is more that there are many little bugs that could be tidied up easily, but just aren’t because… idk Gaijin doesn’t employ enough people? Literally look at the “Stage 3G” radar on the F.3 Late. It’s the easiest fix in the workd (in fact I think a player could do it themselves by modifying lang files) but it’s just left because it “doesn’t matter” that much

Exactly this, most issues are small and don’t affect gameplay all that much but that should be relatively easy to fix. But they go ignored for months/years because of the fact that they aren’t game breaking. But then all these small issues pile up which means more and more issues don’t get fixed, which then increases the workload for the devs.

It would be better for both the players and the devs to fix these small issues when they first come up, like in the Dev servers.

It’s simply easier to clean up the mess as you go instead of letting the mess pile up and up to the point where it will take you ages to clean up.

Dev server closes on the 6th, so update will probably drop then

Eurofighter’s available payload for air AND ground battles, combined with its avionics and flight performance, is so… beautiful.

People wonder why it’s not ingame yet, but I can perfectly tell why, hahah. This plane represents the peak of combat aviation.

Only 5th and 4++ gen fighters rival it in the air-to-air department, and dedicated strike aircraft in the ground attack department.
