Re: Gun has no local control and available directors

Not a DB issue as far as I can tell, all the Rothesays have a Mk10 mortar and Type 170/170B director which is properly linked.

Re: Meaning of "Update" in CWDB Aircraft DB entries

Honestly, when it comes to CWDB...it's such a mess, I can't answer definitively. It should always be #1. If we had better sources/info as in #2 we'd just update the base platform so that updated scenarios would get the new, more realistic entry. If it was #3 there'd be a clearer note in the comments...

Re: CMO - NEW PUBLIC BETA (Steam only for now!)

I take it the alive person can move/swim, the deceased one cannot? Alive has mark 1 eyeball and binoculars, deceased no sensors? Does the alive swimmer have torpedoes? It's mostly just a difference in dimensions and visual/IR signature. Living person is "upright" in the water and hotter. ...

Re: CMO - NEW PUBLIC BETA (Steam only for now!)

A lot of Chinese stuff in the new dbs. And those are only the new entries! You'll find in 506 that every single Chinese aircraft has been ripped out and rebuilt from the ground up to our new, higher standards of detail (they don't show up in the changelog because they're technically using the same ...

Re: When can we get the new update? aka: Do we have a schedule for the release of upgrade packs? Especially database rel

It's basically been said, but just to provide an authoritative answer: The DB team is on a strict (if self-imposed) schedule for releases and has been since I took over. We lock down and submit to the dev/production team a finalized new DB every 2 months on the dot. (Incidentally, you can see the du...

Re: Detailed description of equipment properties?

Here are the relevant pages from the pro DB manual about all the different sensor codes and what they do.

Re: Detailed description of equipment properties?

Correct. As of the latest version of the professional DB manual (which commercial players don't have access to, so no sweat for not catching it) the MTI feature is not currently modeled in-sim.

I will see if I can release some of the relevant pages (e.g. about sensor codes, etc.) for you guys.

Re: Import Export Database question

We don't ever delete DB entries for precisely this reason. If something is missing, I'd hope its a tech issue and not a DB issue.

Re: Ergonomics implemented?

You'll have to look pretty hard; we've applied it only in a few cases. Unlike most of our backfills, e.g. with the related CS Gen, ergonomics isn't really something we could objectively research and fill in; we mostly just use it for modernizations, etc. to indicate that something has better (or wor...

Re: Ergonomics implemented?

Ergonomics was implemented with the CS Gen updates and is WAD. It acts as a modifier which reduces or increases the final OODA values depending on how good (or bad) the ergo is. Probably worth adding to the DB viewer, though: I've passed the request along.

Re: Setting the AI to fire at NEZ - a massive disadvantage

We've been discussing this problem internally and may have a solution. Our starting point was: "What if we randomize the WRA-range settings for non-player sides at startup so that the player is uncertain at what range the enemy will fire?" But this still created a problem wherein crafty pl...

Re: Under African Skies - Event / Hostility Question

Chalk me up as another for the "giving it a whirl due to the favorites list club." I think the Chinese are technically hostile against you from the moment they start firing against the French. What determines their being marked as such is whether the French (or you) actually confirm that t...

Re: [DB3K v.495] Missle distance changed

I did a stupid. This is why I shouldn't look at radar stuff while tired.

To make a long story short, the B-52s (unnecessarily) picked up an "RCS Enhancement" modifier which...well, enhanced their RCS. I'm removing that now so they should go back to normal with DB 496. Sorry about that.

We changed numerous missile ranges in that family based on information in recent editions of Janes Weapons: Air-Launched. You can see the specific ticket for the AA-6 here . As for the B-52 signatures, those are definitely not the DB numbers...must be a problem with the viewer or with the data being...

Re: CMO public beta - Build 1261.1

Is number of crew factored in 'Ergonomics'? For example in Two-seater fighters the workload is split between the two pilots as opposed to one doing all the work. Not yet, but the advantages of multi-crew aircraft is something we've discussed and would absolutely like to work into the new OODA syste...
