Supercarrier News and discussion

Hi all,

Please see the post by Wags on our official forum.

Dear valued clients,

We earlier stated that DCS: Supercarrier would be available to play in early access by Q1 2020. However, we will need to postpone the early access release to 15 April 2020 in order to complete the “Stay at Home” Sale. We do not launch large products during an ongoing sale event.

DCS: Supercarrier

We have been working hard towards the announced release date of April 15th. Sadly, we were unable to work through all the issues in order to ensure a satisfactory Early Access release.

The main “no-go” for me and I am sure for you too, is Multiplayer behavior which still suffers from certain non-game breaker bugs which were confirmed on Saturday, April 11th. Today we have a new plan and will be working overtime to bring you this long-awaited product. I actively follow the threads, in particular “April 15th 2020” and I understand how disappointed you are, but I am confident you will agree that Multiplayer needs a bit more love.

After purchasing DCS: Supercarrier, you may have questions of how to install it, select a mission to fly from it, and takeoff in your first experience. This Quick Start video is designed to walk you through those first steps into virtual combat naval aviation.

With the upcoming release of DCS: Supercarrier later in May 2020, we offer this unscripted video instruction for creating a mission using DCS: Supercarrier.

We hope it will be helpful for you mission creators out there.

News update:

In a recent DCS: Supercarrier update the functionality of the upcoming Air Boss station and Briefing Room was described. Both features will provide interactivity that requires changes to the ViewCore subsystems. In order to smoothly transition between the Air Boss station, Briefing Room, and LSO station, we have created a special Camera Route Editor and an advanced view system that allows custom bookmarks to be created on the carrier deck and other locations. This adds camera movement route options to help create spectacular scenes for video creators.

Over the past six month we have been working on a human motion model with intelligent behavior for infantry and deck crews. We have started with the deck crew, and we will scale it to infantry units. Both logics will receive two new behaviours: Obstacle Avoidance and Dynamic Reroute according to the situation. Re-routing behaviour is based on a path search algorithm with any-angle path planning.

Obstacle Avoidance is based on the Optimal Reciprocal Collision Avoidance (ORCA) method used for holonomic robots with several restrictions on linear and angular speeds, linear acceleration, and discreteness of animation. The first phase of the development is complete and cases must now be considered for when aircraft are passing by, directing aircraft to and from a parking position, avoiding moving aircraft, different states of service and interruptions, etc.

Thank you

An important and challenging feature of DCS: Supercarrier has been the development of night operations. Over the past year, we have been working on several aspects that will soon be released to Open Beta. These include new deck crew animations that utilize the new skeletal animation

Thank you

i wonder why they haven't put the SC on the upcoming release section or whatever its called, is it because they dont have a date or maybe they will release it soon. Just a thought

There was a follow up post on the DCS forums [...] regarding that. From what it was said, originally they had a working build at the original date they had set. It was fully ready to release but since their current policy was to not release new modules during sales, they decided to delay it. There was additional work done during the times between the original date and today (15th), I guess 2 updates to the build, and those updates were causing the stability issues. [...] They didn't want to go back to 4 weeks ago to when the SC was stable [...] That's why they decided to postpone again.

I honestly hope this isn't true. rollback to last stable version is always an option, especially if you have a release date coming up. usually the whole thing would be feature locked way earlier anyway, and you would continue to develop in a seperate branch.

I could NEVER in my right mind give this kind of reasoning to one of my customers and not expect to be put out of contract.

maybe we have a few other developers amongst us to weigh in on this..?

You would feature lock a release build, not a beta build which is what this technically is since we aren't getting all the planned features yet. (I'm only speakly strictly to my experience with 3 companies I've developed software for, including my current job, not ED specifically as each business *can* have their own way).

rollback IS an option, most of the time yes, but I think what they are saying is (I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt that they are being honest about this) that they had a stable SC build at the original beta release date, but didn't have a stable DCS world (2.5.6) beta build. So we'd have gotten a stable carrier with a crappy DCS world. I do remember the negative feedback from the world update during that time. This was before they "suggested" that the SC module and DCS world are directly connected in the development process. meaning you wouldn't be able to rollback to the stable SC build without rolling back to the build of DCS world that was available at that time as well.

Again, I'm basing everything I'm saying on my interpretation of their follow up post I linked earlier and my personal experience developing applications for different companies throughout my career. I'm not a game developer nor am I ED so it's possible there are things specific to game development that I am not familiar with. Also you may interpret their post differently then I did so you may have a different view on what they are saying. You might also believe the entire post is a big lie which would also be a very different take on what I'm saying here so YMMV.

Sorry not waiting another month+ requesting refund. Was expecting this to launch last month.
I might re-buy it when it launches, but will probably wait till its on sale a while after.
