I will just repeat what I just posted at the ED forum:
I still think the Intruder is the most likely candidate. Heatblur has repeatedly emphasized how they want to flesh out the surroundings for their modules. In the F-14 May Development Updated they said:
“We’re always been committed to ensuring that we launch of products with as much free, high quality content as we can. This includes e.g. campaigns and AI aircraft, ships and other assets.”
Just like they are developing an AI Draken for the Viggen, an AI Intruder is most likely as an addition to the Tomcat. The Intruder is simply needed as a strike aircraft to complement the air wing in the targeted time span. More so as the USS Ranger, one of the Forrestal-class carriers which HB invests much resources to develop, is featured in their planned Persian Gulf campaign. Ranger had the so called “All Grumman Air Wing”, which featured two Intruder squadrons and no other strike aircraft. That campaign will simply not work without Intruder. In addition an AI A-6E could be easily modified as KA-6D tanker and with some more effort into a EA-6B Prowler (both important assets to the Tomcat). I think this makes an AI Intruder very likely to happen.
Going from an AI A-6E and taking into account that the planned aircraft will have ground radar and multi crew, a full A-6E module just sounds most logical.
As it seems, Heatblur wants to build some sort of ecosystem (assets, maps) around the Viggen and the Tomcat. A Tornado would require them to create a 3rd ecosystem, which I find unlikely. I think it can be expected that future HB modules fit into the Sweden and US Navy environments that they are currently building up.
Or an AT-6… You never know with ED these days… The little biplane thing just BLEW MY MIND. I was like WTBLEEEP? These days, I don’t put nothing past DCS. SR-71?
I actually physically saw @nicholas.dackard’s eyebrow raise when he was in town last year taking photos of the F-14 when he saw the A-6 they also have there. And if he needs to come back and photograph it, he is welcome to stay at my house while he is doing so…!
Not saying that you might be watching his face too much when you are around him, but you are! I highly suggest you revisit the Mudspike - Stalking developers 101 course for this info!
For quite some time now; we’ve been working hard on making JESTER AI a reality. One of the biggest parts of this undertaking is for us to build a comprehensive and realistic voice library, and for the past year, we’ve had a dedicated team at Heatblur doing just that, in the form of Grayson Frohberg (RIO Voice) and Aleksander Studen-Kirchner (Director).
In order to ensure the most natural performance and realism; we decided to approach our recording process in a unique way. By placing the director (Aleksander) into the pilot cockpit and Grayson into the RIO position, and subsequently placing the duo into appropriate combat or non-combat scenarios, we are able to more naturally record voice lines as opposed to dry reading in the studio. Virtual reality helps make the strain of head movement and confusion have a subtle yet important impact on the delivery of certain lines, while natural pauses and hesitation become more apparent and serve as good reference on the engineering side.
Today, we’re reaching the first of our milestones on the recording and creation process of our voice library. Much effort is being made to ensure that JESTER’s speech sounds natural, and much of our current focus lies with refining existing functionality and adding lots of variations to currently implemented calls. For this, our process focuses on plenty of repetition and repeating the same statement multiple times at a time, and then extracting the lines that we feel will fit well.
While we work on unveiling the “new”, non-chromecat-branch F-14 - enjoy this behind the scenes look at the recording process for JESTER AI recorded over the past year!
Well, technically 75 weeks is weeks, not months. Sure, maybe it’s easier to think of in terms of months or years, but weeks is a perfectly reasonable measure as well.
I highly suggest you revisit the Mudspike - Stalking developers 101 course for this info!
