Does that mean that the F-4E will finally get its cockpit? It has been in the game with the F-4F KWS for so long yet the F-4E still uses the F-4C’s cockpit…

i hope the viggens will get their MFDs updated, they’re all stretched and somewhat broken at the moment

does this refer to the basic J-11 or is a miss-namer and refering to the other J-11 variants in the TT (and maybe upcoming variants)?

hope so, J-15T need it, but if im not wrong in the J-15T post some dude posted some images about his HMD showed inside an show at china i think

does this include the j-15 too? kinda silly a 2024 aircraft is using a 1990~ hmd

So will Chinese aircrafts be updated their MFDS, like J10A/C,JH7A/A2,J15T then

Why is this completely pointless? As long as we cannot actually control things with the MFD’s, there is no reason to put any work in this. These MFD’s are not actually useful. They are just shiny stuff without any gameplay elements. In SIM we still cannot even guide laser guided bombs with the MFD without going into the targeting pod view, which is completely nauseating in VR. No point in putting effort in MFD’s if they aren’t even useable for anything except to ‘look good’.

Put the basics in place first! Allow to bind axes to the MFD controls. Allow guided weapons and MITL control on the MFD. Allow to zoom/pan the map view. Display NCTR information (!!!). etc etc. Only then make more new shiny stuff.

Everything added here is, as usual, an empty shell. It’s meant to look good for about 5 seconds but then when you actually try to do something with it it’s half-assed without any proper gameplay.

Oh cool, esp. the radar scopes.

South African Mirage F1CZ & F1AZ when?

Please tell me the listed ones below are not the only hmds that will get changes

The issue is that the image displayed in targeting pods is very hit or miss, sometimes a vehicle may not render at all whilst being clearly visible in the separate targeting pod view. Until the image rendering issues are sorted, then adding proper cockpit controls aren’t necessary.

And in the case of the JHMCS, some of its functionality got broken a few updates ago and is yet to be fixed.

my guess/ cope is that they just dont bother with fixing it because they are currently reworking it

My main hope from this new interest from gaijin to develop and rework existing HMDs and MFDs is that we’ll see them begin to work with the sim community to improve Air EC. Simply adding a new map to air EC would breathe a new life into it, as sadly air SB has not seen a new map in years, and fundamentally nothing new added to the gamemode either.
