I have a question. If the 4.37.3 will be a huge update can you plan to do a teaser or trailer video for it.
Yes I know it is not for an update but according to the info it won’t be a normal simple update and there will be many changes in it. So I thought it wold be nice if we see it . -
@repvez nothing visually worth doing anything…
-
@MaxWaldorf any updates on U3 progress?
-
@b0bl00i not yet…

Quick update of the update.
Currently, we have two blockers (all related to F15):
- ramp start: still missing a few switches, being implemented as fast as possible.
- radar: something wrong, not burning through jammer. This is being looked into.
Once those are finished, we call freeze and begin final testing. There are other desirable things that will probably go into the release as well if finished on time:
- F15 autopilot.
- shadow mapping optimization (important for VR).
ETA? Well, I already missed the first deadline and I am about to miss the second one… but let’s try it again. I really feel like September is going to see .3

@Seifer
Thanks for your (team) work and update. No worries about deadlines, ship it once you guys feel it’s really ready. -
@Seifer the shadow mapping optimization is worth the wait for me
-
@MaxWaldorf thanks to the effort of the whole team, and in regards to what @Seifer said, i think you have a lot of content for the community to be excited for, haha
-
@Seifer amazing, really looking forward to the F-15

Glad to see any work done on the VR side, especially since your anticipated U3 release now closely coincides with the upcoming release of the Quest 3 VR headset next month that so many of us are waiting for…

Even if you miss the deadlines it is comforting to know that they are close, do not stop

Thanks for all the hard work !
So many amazing flight hours ahead of us thanks to you

Can’t wait for U3. From the previews, it’s going to be great. Sometimes we have to wait for good things to happen.

Feels like U3 will be a major update . . . it is like it is a new version of the sim
We all want this one yesterday but appreciate the extra effort by DEV team to release a stable and enjoyable update.
Thank you DEV team !

More updates (please notice this is not my work, I’m just compiling stuff from other coders. Only thing I’m doing now is the shadow map).
Blockers
- F-15 Radar not burning through jammer: fixed but to be tested.
- F-15 ramp started: more progress, not finished yet.
Non Blockers
- ShadowMapping optimization for VR: 1/3 done. 2 and 3 are more complex, but I believe I’ll be able to make it. Draw calls went from 9k to 7k with only the first change. If I am able to do all 3, we will go down to 5-6k in airbases, which is pretty good. Fingers crossed.
- Autopilot: first implementation done, to be finished.
Other Stuff
- In the last test flight people reported SAMs not working as expected. This is under investigation, but seems like an old bug (not a regression).

@Seifer
Thanks for your updates. Very informative to the community.
