This is awesome, will definitely attend this panel.

With the way video game development is now this was always going to be the case. Years and years and years of continuous improvement and tweaking. I have been doing some of the F-15E as well and honestly not worried about it at all. By the time I get even close to competent with what is already there, this will be a distant memory. If nothing else is added I will still have gotten my money's worth out of it, if more is added then great.

The commercially available cockpit setups like the one above come with the center mount. The stick is attached to the mount with screws or bolts. Here you can see it.

Absolutely amazing how far you guys have come! Every update gets me more excited to see the final product.

It does not need to be buttons on either a keyboard or a hotas to be "real buttons" You could also make your own button boxes or even a complete, custom cockpit. There are also other options available such as the one from Winwing that replicates the F/A 18, but adds a lot of physical buttons to your setup.

Hand tracking has more to do with headset support than game support. If your headset and its software support hand tracking you can usually make hand tracking work in any title. For most consumer-grade headsets hand tracking is not where it needs to be for 100 reliable use. As much as I would like to see hand tracking functional, I think button boxes or similar will continue to be the go-to for cockpit interaction.

As much as I am looking forward to the F-4, I personally would rather see them take extra time to get it right than rush it out.

I'll be there for sure, although the ~20 minute drive to the Rio might be rough 🙂

Looking Great!

To be fair, cheating in one form or another has been an issue since the first games hit public servers. This will just be one more tool in the arsenal of those who are going to find a way to cheat no matter what.

I am on a break as well although mine is not fully voluntary, in the middle of moving across the country so everything is packed up. Cannot wait to have everything set back up and be back flying.

Looking good, great to see the attention to detail and the continued progress.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! Hope everyone has a great holiday and new year!

This has become common on many forums to delay posts from new users for moderator approval. It is meant to cut down on spam posts. Not sure what the settings on here but as wheels said it should drop off after a set number of posts.

Agreed I would much rather a different solution was found instead of timers. Really hope the damage model goes beyond cosmetic and impacts flight systems appropriately based on where the damage was taken.
