I've really been enjoying the Hind a lot, these pass few days. What has stood out to me is the difference and progression Russia had made between our Hind and the KA-50. Where the Hind uses gyros and doppler radar to present a quasi moving map (not really) the KA-50 had CRT, with embedded GPS data. Hind's use of it's sensors to give a CCIP of weapons is fairly accurate, where as the Shark is using lasing and head tracking technologies for its solutions. I'm just curious on what triggers the development of these subsystems, whenever they are building their next generation of machines and how much were influence by the threat of US developments. Any prior CCCP weapons designers out there?

How do you all see AI aircraft being implemented? Would be something like the movie “Stealth” with a Uber jet fighter? Would be more like a larger cargo craft deploying waves of smaller drones, each armed with one or two missiles that swarms an area?

Speaking about the ethics. Do you feel it is ethical for a machine to autonomously decide to kill a human, without human intervention? Regardless if that person is an enemy or not?

I’m curious on what some here may think of this story about Elon Musk. https://www.flightglobal.com/fixed-wing/the-fighter-jet-era-has-passed-elon-musk/137017.article The whole thing sounds like we are heading towards Skynet. What do you see has the pros of an autonomous fighter drone? What do you see as the cons? Where does all of this AI leads to in the next 20 years?

You may have too much trim for your weight, or your stick’s y axis isn’t centered.

Can you verify, that you do not have any axis conflicts associated with the throttle. I know you can push the engines up to a certain point and it will not launch unless they are at full. Worth a look. Good luck.

All for this +1

A lost to the community. RIP Sir.

For the barometric hold, make sure you have a little bit of deadzone in your pitch axis. If the sim pick up any off center movement it will not let you engage barometric hold.

Did you click the obs button to the left of "TKN" on your bottom screen? You will need to either select TKN or WPT for the systme to know which one to use.

I would suggest setting up missions with an AWAC in the air. Once they give a call, I would pause the sim, and think about how I am going to set up the radar to pick up the target. Over time I hope to get better myself.

Just a shot in the dark, but you did extend your wheel bar and press “u” to lock into the catapult, right?

I like to use the minute hand on the clock to help juggle when to switch tanks.

I just occupy the ship, you can jump from gun to gun. You have to have the Combine Arms Module though.

If there was a bundle, I would snap it up in a heartbeat. I have other CivAv sims, but I prefer the feel of DCS, when it comes to flight dynamics.

That's a great idea! It does make me wonder, whether or not they WOULD broadcast a TACAN signal in a high threat scenario though. If that is the case, I wonder what alternate methods would go into getting their pilots back to the ship after missions. I set up a couple of missions where I flew out to meet the Tarawa, and it gets pretty empty out there once you lose sight of land. Without a signal, I bet it's a pretty scary situation to be in. Big props to the WWII naval pilots of the day!

That’s great news!

What is the method of locating your ship, out at sea? Is there a way to add TACAN to a moving ship, to help locate it?

Try relocating the brads in less flat ground to get the T90s in closer

For anyone interested here was a neat video I found on YouTube. It seems that the Russian thought was more towards defense as oppose to force projection when it comes to carriers. Tho they are projecting in Syria.

Are there any open sources that outline carrier operations on the Russians side? I'm curious on how they arrange their ships and subs and at what ranges. What and how air assets are deployed to support combat aircraft. Typical load outs for CAP and Strike. Pretty much any info to set up a mission with a plausible naval task force.

Is there a way to select the long side of the deck? In the ME, it only shows take of from parking with "Auto".

I am enjoying shooting the WWII ship's guns at air targets, but would like to know if ED plans on improving the gunner's view of the ship around him. I would also like to know if it's possible now, or in a future patch, that multiple "tactical commanders" can occupy the same ship and man the different guns. Thank you again for all the work you guys put into this awesome sim!
