The Update Sneak Preview Thread Thread - Vector Thrust

Since there's no thread on this topic, I decided to create one. Perhaps tS and we can use this as a master thread for previews of all upcoming updates?

Not for the next update, but it will be added very soon:

Tomcats are coming next update, right?

Yes, but it will be the last family pack to be included; in the second update I will add aircraft from different families, including new ones.
I’ll focus in adding first the most well known airplanes, and only after that I’ll start building the family structure.

Could you redo the ST-21/YF-14 hard-points for the AIM-9? They include the AIM-54 hardpoint at the moment.

And what do you mean by 'family pack' ?

What about the first update? What'll it include?

Tomcats, as the dudes above said.

Times, please, don't leave the family packs to end here. We still have more we can explore in the future. Cutting off aircraft supply for now is fine with me, of course, in favour of more game features and finishing the campaigns and making the game a more game-like game than it is.

I think you misunderstood me.

I’ll continue to add new airplanes in every update, but it will be a manageable amount so I can release updates as frequently as possible and be able to work in other areas of the game. I’m thinking around 6 aircraft in each update, that will be possible thanks to the supply of almost finished aircrafts that I have at the moment.

But the only difference after the first update is that I’ll start adding units from multiple families.
For example, my plan for the second update will include adding a Mig-23 an F-4, and obscure aircraft and variants like the OA-10B.

But it won’t include the challenges of MiG-23 and F-4.

Uh, will the next patch introduces F-7/J-7 Fishbed family?

GOOD. Before, you were dead-set on single families, and really, it felt a tad bit.. bland, to me. Every family only has so many variants, and you can put as many spins on them as you want - they're still, well, the same family as the others.

will the next patch add challenges for the existing planes that don't have them? I looked through the file directory and quite a few planes (including all the F-22s) don't have challenges.

I hope we Get some Su-24s. I really want to play a ECM/ECCM Role.
"ECCM! restore communication link!"

I've been looking forward to the ECM stuff and can't wait to try it out either; I hope it comes fairly soon.

ECM is ingame, try making a mission using some of the stuff you'll find in GroundObjects or playing with/in an F-15Z.

I've currently finished Mission 02 and 03 of the Juniper Thunder remake and am currently crying over how the editor crashes if you try to load new music in Mission 01.

ESM is with the Su-30 too.

And the crashing, you may need to resort to using notepad to add the name of the music file to the mission script?

I thought the update should be out on Friday?

I always operate on a special time zone.
At the moment I only need to finish the F-14 challenges.
Due to family reasons today I’m going to lose most of my office hours, but I think I’ll be able to finish everything late at night.
But I don’t want to send the build before giving a good test run, so most likely the update will only be available tomorrow (depends on your time zone)

Is it possible to push a patch update on a weekend/holiday? I'm sort of just curious now.

@Boogie_Van, steam works in a different way, I can set updates at any time.
At the moment the newest update is already in steam database, I´m just writing the announcement and then I´ll make it available to the public.

And now, it's time for a new signature.

Speaking of updates, when will we get the Su-30MKK and Su-30MK2?
