Chronocidal Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Looks like it should be, and I don't know why it wouldn't be. Just looks like a bundle with the existing Thrustmaster stick, with a custom AC logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kajnrig Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Shame the rockets don't act like they do in AC6, but this ain't bad, either. Ain't bad at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do hope they add a PvE raid mode in later, that was probably the best part of Infinity. Some of the later special raids from Infinity were nuts (Gold Excalibur turning into a 3D bullet hell level was something to see, even if it made the game crawl into 20 fps).

kajnrig Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 "Aces at War Bundle" no longer shows up.

David Hingtgen Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Strange, since it listed different deadlines for different bonuses. I had decided a few weeks ago to pass on that version though, as reading carefully, I don't think it came with much (any?) of the DLC. I think for the same money, the 'season pass' versions etc will give more value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they finally updated the page with what DLC it will come with and looks like it's the same F-4/ 3 aircraft skins/ AC5 or 6 that you get with a regular pre order.

AN/ALQ128 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 The VR page for the AC7 official website got updated. Mission 3 will be a straight up aerial dogfight, and the fourth flyable aircraft will be the A-10. https://ace7.acecombat.jp/vr/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AN/ALQ128 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Although, that line about the Eagle pulling "30 g's" seems pretty weird. I would think that Katabuchi or Kono would know enough about airplanes to know how ridiculous that number is. Is it just an error on the part of the translators? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kajnrig Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 It's odd wording for sure. Mostly I think it's meant to imply how sharply they're maneuvering. As long as the 30 g's aren't sustained forces, I'd think they're survivable. John Stapp, renowned historical crash test dummy, survived a maximum 46-g test, and estimated the human body can survive even greater numbers. The dialogue before and after, as well as the visuals, don't help it much, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynaman Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Survivable maybe but any normal person will pass out from it. Normal G forces are at most 10g with 9 being more normal and even then only for a few seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AN/ALQ128 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 From what some people on reddit are saying, apparently its just the TL team taking some liberties with the script. The original japanese dub just says that "the drone gets to pull as many G's as it likes". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 If you're talking about drones, no, normal G-limits for pilots obviously don't apply. Aircraft are able to pull far more strenuous maneuvers than pilots would be able to do physically and remain conscious/healthy. Thirty Gs sounds like a ton, and most aircraft probably aren't meant to experience those stresses for any long period of time. If anything, the airframe would probably be stricken from flight status afterward, and relegated to a static display. Even minor envelope excursions generally require an aircraft be grounded afterward for a structural integrity check. Just because an aircraft is built to survive heavy G-loading doesn't mean it's meant to operate at that level continuously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sildani Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 A concept someone at L-M did as a way the F-22’s weapon load could be increased without hurting stealth too much.

kajnrig Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Ah, I see. I had assumed some such thing MUST have been at least conceptualized for the Raptor by now, if not downright made. I'm gonna have to go back through the other trailers and see if they just reuse it for the other pod designs, too, or if those are unique. I'd imagine if it just clamps onto a hardpoint, it'd be pretty interchangeable. ...or actually, those of you with the know-how, are mounting points the same across the different fighters? Or are there different brackets for putting, say, an AMRAAM on an F-22 versus an F-16? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
