WASHINGTON — For months, newly built F-35 Joint Strike Fighters have languished at Lockheed Martin’s facility in Fort Worth, Texas, awaiting the completion of a key upgrade that has stalled deliveries. In 2024, the Pentagon and Lockheed hope that overdue modernization dubbed Technology Refresh 3, or TR-3, will be finished, allowing the government to accept these latest F-35s.The jet’s TR-3 improvements include better displays, computer memory and processing power. They will lay the foundation for a more extensive upgrade, called Block 4, that will bring greater weapons capacity as well as improved electronic warfare and target recognition capabilities. But persistent software troubles, including problems integrating it into the new TR-3 hardware, has stalled its completion. Originally, TR-3 upgrades were supposed to be ready in April 2023, but that deadline has repeatedly slipped and is now expected sometime between April and June 2024. New F-35s equipped with TR-3 hardware started rolling off Lockheed’s production line in late July, but the government refused to accept their deliveries since they could not fly during the necessary acceptance flights. Since then, Lockheed Martin has stored an undisclosed number of F-35s at Fort Worth.The Pentagon’s F-35 Joint Program Office in November said it is looking for a way to resume acceptance flights for the new fighters and deliveries before TR-3 is completely finished. That could involve a strategy of loading early, but incomplete, versions of the TR-3 software into new F-35s. The interim software would probably need upgrades down the road to get the rest of its capabilities, the Joint Program Office said. In mid-November, a handful of production F-35s with interim TR-3 software flew for the first time at Fort Worth, Lockheed confirmed. Top Air Force officials said at the Defense News Conference in September that the stalled deliveries could mean some units — which are in the process of transitioning from other aircraft — have to wait longer for promised F-35s. That could have a cascading effect that hurts the Air Force’s ability to manage its forces worldwide, Air Combat Command head Gen. Mark Kelly said at the conference.“When a unit converts to a new airplane, usually by the time they get their last airplane, the clock starts and they need to be ready to go a year or so later,” Kelly said in September. “That will delay and will impact … global force management.” The Pentagon early in 2024 is also expected make a decision — itself years behind schedule — that formally moves the F-35 to full-rate production. However, since Lockheed is already building the fighter at almost full capacity, this milestone C decision will likely have a minimal effect on production. The F-35 program in September finished a series of tests in the Joint Simulation Environment to collect data needed for the Pentagon to make that decision. The JSE tests put all three versions of the aircraft through several scenarios — including cruise missile defense, air interdiction, counter-air, and destruction of enemy air defense trials — designed to emulate what the fighter would likely encounter in combat. And in early 2024, Pratt & Whitney is expected to receive the first in a series of sole-source contracts to upgrade the F-35′s existing F135 engines under the Engine Core Upgrade program. The engine upgrades are intended to give the F-35 more power and cooling ability so it can handle the needs of its Block 4 modernization. Pratt said deliveries for the program are expected to start in early 2029, although that schedule could be pushed up to late 2028. https://www.defensenews.com/air/2023/12/30/f-35-program-eyes-key-upgrade-delivery-restart/

2023 has been quite a year for desktop PC gaming. AMD's AM5 platform saw increased adoption, Nvidia's RTX 4000 series added more high-end cards, and Intel came out with its "new" 14th Gen processors. However, we also got more games that required extremely demanding hardware. Alan Wake 2 is perhaps the game that comes to your mind, next to Starfield and Hogwarts Legacy, but even the impact of Cyberpunk 2077's path tracing on high-end GPUs shows us where PC gaming might be headed in 2024. Nvidia and AMD aren't new to GPUs, so this is an opportune time to reassess the PC hardware market and look at the kind of components you'll need if you want to experience the bleeding edge of PC gaming in the coming year.PC games have long been content with six CPU cores. After all, the best CPUs for gaming are often 6-core chips from Intel and AMD. Even when there are outliers that are heavily CPU-dependent, your GPU is often able to pick up the slack. However, since many AAA titles are demanding more and more of the CPU, it's worth considering the benefits of 8-core chips. Benchmarks will show that you have, on average, only around 10% more FPS to gain by going from a 6-core to an 8-core CPU if the GPU is constant. Will this remain the case in 2024? PC gaming has taken a firm step toward chasing next-gen visuals and PC-melting performance. This will likely continue into 2024 and beyond as developers, publishers, and even hardware manufacturers all chase the next Cyberpunk 2077. https://www.xda-developers.com/pc-gaming-hardware-2024/#6-core-vs-8-core-cpus-for-new-builders

Predicting the future of something as volatile and changeable as videogames truly is a mug's game. Well, fill us up with coffee because we are apparently mugs. In 2023, the most talked-about game of the year was a CRPG with turn-based combat, and the most quickly forgotten one was a new Bethesda open world. While award shows patted the industry on its back for a bumper year of quality games, studios closed, publishers were acquired, and layoffs were rampant. After all that, imagining what 2024 could possibly have in store for us is a daunting task, but we'll give it a shot anyway. We can drop the difficulty down to Story for this bit, right? No? Ah. Once again we're gazing into the web of possible futures to determine what the year ahead will bring. We've got our deck of self-made tarot cards right out of The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood and our crew of divination wizards have rolled their portent dice. Here are our best, or at least boldest, guesses at what will happen to PC gaming in 2024. Chris Livingston, Senior Editor: I saw it twice in 2023 and we're going to see more of it in the year ahead. At GDC in March, Brendan Greene showed me a demo of Project Artemis, which is (or will be) a digital planet the size of a real planet. Then at The Game Awards, Sean Murray of Hello Games revealed the next project for the No Man's Sky studio, a digital planet—you guessed it, the size of a real planet—in the trailer for Light No Fire. Maybe thanks to games like No Man's Sky, Elite Dangerous, and most recently Starfield, we're all just a little burned out on tons and tons of (mostly uninteresting) procedurally generated planets, so sticking with one planet, but making it utterly humongous, is our gaming future. I bet we get two or three more game announcements this coming year about digital planets as big as Earth. A good AI-powered game will release Tyler Wilde, Executive Editor: When I spoke to Unity exec Marc Whitten at GDC in March of last year, he was all in on the idea of runtime AI: That's generative AI not as a game production tool, but running live while you play, doing things like speech recognition or object detection, and even potentially generating dialogue or imagery or maps or anything else a machine learning algorithm can be trained to produce and remix. It was all a bit speculative, and there wound up being bigger Unity happenings to report on in 2023, but I think this is the year we see runtime AI used in games that actually demand serious attention. So far, experiments in the field have been novel oddities, like the ChatGPT-powered Skyrim companion who tried to murder Chris' character with bad advice, or remarkable only for illuminating the ethical quagmire generative AI is mired in. But at least one upcoming game I know about, a multiplayer storytelling platform called Hidden Door, looks like it could actually be fun, and although it can't totally escape hard questions about the whole generative AI pursuit, its developer is approaching machine learning as responsibly as any I've seen, with plans to license worlds and writing styles from their authors. In a recent article, Josh compellingly argued that we shouldn't and don't have to accept the notion that generative AI will inevitably replace creative workers with fancy Xeroxes of the art they used to be paid for. I don't think that's an inevitable nor desirable outcome, either. But AI development will certainly continue, and in 2024, I think we'll start interacting with machine learning systems in mainstream games (beyond using DLSS for a framerate boost), and we might even discover that we like it. It isn't clear what generative AI will be capable of in just a year's time: As explained to me by a Stanford researcher last April, because the abilities of modern machine learning systems are emergent (in the systems theory sense), there's no way to confidently predict how rapidly it will advance. https://www.pcgamer.com/our-boldest-predictions-for-pc-gaming-in-2024/
