Nice mod!! It IS.

I refer you to one of my previous posts because you're also one of the people who just doesn't get what I'm saying. Edit: just for you I'll elaborate again. I applaud people who want to spend time teaching stuff, it helps everyone. I just put question marks at the fact that in the OP there's a lot of gravity on the authority of the crewchief figure. Critical as I am, I question it. Without questioning and without being critical, there would be no realism. In fact, there would be no flying at all.

LOL. STILL it's not clear to some of you... I never said I don't like crew chiefs. I never said I dissaprove of these lessons. I'm just being critical and placing question marks. Some people just can't handle that I guess.... Unbelievable. I never bashed any crewchief into the ground. What I said about checking oil levels and holding the flashlight came from a crewchief himself. I'm merely questioning some stuff. Mainly because of the tone in the OP. Trolling, partially maybe yes. But still I have a very valid point that some people have trouble seeing through the thickness of their following-glasses.

The ultimate would be a Rift system with more peripheral vision, at least full HD, and controlling the cockpit with your brains. I actually don't think this would be impossible in the near future. The lack of being unable to use the keyboard is too big to buy the Rift eventually, unfortunately.

Yeah, well I have a different view of flightsims then. In your words, you can use the Rift for flying games. You can not use the Rift for flightsims. I only like flight sims. I love realism.

No, the ultimate is the real aircraft. Or a holodeck ofcourse. Dude... 3x 27" is the ultimate currently available and affordable. I'm not missing the concept. I just don't see it as a viable solution for flightsimming. And you don't need to know what you see in your peripheral vision... As long as the peripheral vision is there.

Not a great sales pitch... lol

Makes a lot of sense Mnemonic. The Rift is just a cool gimmick, but I'm saving for the ultimate: three 27 inchers :)

Come on dude... Look at how this thread starter opened: This just makes me raise my eyebrows, coming from a crewchief. That's where I place my question marks. Guess it just rubs most people in the wrong direction, but that's not really my problem. My questioning is legit. Anyway, I think about enough has been said. I'm about done with this thread.

Believe me, my feet are planted to the ground lol. I just have a totally different opinion from most followers here in this thread. And for your info, we don't have crewchiefs where I work (helicopters). It's not about respect or anything. I respect all of my colleagues. I've already pointed out what my exact points are, because some people simply don't understand or can't or aren't reading what I'm saying. Look it up again, I made it pretty simple.

LOL. What if you want to chat? Or enter stuff in your CDU? You need the keyboard, period. Would you seriously call that huge? I call that limited. You miss peripheral vision, and that's just a con. You'll have more peripheral vision with three monitors. Also, I've seen some vids with the Rift online. Doesn't seem to get anywhere near 90 degrees FOV. Well, there's also people freaking out in the cinema's while watching 3D movies. Those are pretty much idiots and I don't take them seriously. Ofcourse, the Rift will give more immersion than a single monitor, but I fear the cons outweigh the pro's.

In a helicopter and when flying low to the ground it's better to turn your head to keep the horizon level in my opinion. It's more natural.

I'm glad not to be part of the majority. Very glad, and always have been. No need to find someplace else, no worries. I just have a strong opinion and sometimes that collides. So what. Not every face has to be in the same direction all the time. That'd be boring and there wouldn't be any discussion or progress, nor incentive for challenge.

You are responsible for your own success in life. Don't be so dependant on others. I gladly help people with stuff if they ask. But I would never host a session for this sole purpose, simply because I have other priorities for my precious time. I'd rather be flying a full blown mission for my own entertainment. You can still have nice things, it's just your own responsibility.

It's not, but to dedicate my precious time like that is. (Thanks for again proving most people on this forum are pre occupied in their minds and have no capability of understanding what someone who's NOT floating in the same direction is trying to say...)

Occulus Rift looks nice, but I don't think it'll work for DCS. You just really need the keyboard, it is essential. Wish they'd find a solution for that. Also, I think Occulus Rift has no peripheral vision, right? That's a big disadvantage as well for flying helicopters for instance, or racing games. I think that TrackIR in combination with a three monitor setup would still cause more immersion.

FPS is still fine with around six or eight aircraft at a huge airbase. This thread isn't about FPS, it's about how to get AI helicopters to land normally. I don't believe that programming a more realistic way of landing helicopters would induce lower FPS. This just doesn't make any sense.

Lol, yeah, ofcourse, but still, a crew chief doesn't do much more than kick the tires and check the oil levels. A little exxagerated, but I think you should know what I mean. It's not like a crew chief does major repairs on the avionics or the hydraulics for instance. Only thing the crew chief will do is run to get a screwdriver or hold the flashlight while a specialist is fixing the aircraft. I dunno if you're a crewchief irl, but don't go around saying I'm not a military pilot just because you're vision of a crewchief is totally unrealistic. Furthermore: Exactly what Damien says.

No, ofcourse not lol. I wouldn't want to spend my time like that.

Bottom line is, that in my opinion people should stop worshipping a guy just because he checks the A10's oil levels irl and maybe kicks the tires now and then. It's like the guy in the pit crew who's 'sole purpose in life' is to change a tire as quickly as possible on a Formula 1 car. If he'd open a topic on a racing sim forum where he'll teach all of us how to race a Formula 1 car, wouldn't you find that a little funny? It's the same situation here. Not attacking the thread starter for his good will and everything, just saying that I find it ridiculous how some people get down on their knees so easily. Anyway, enough fun. Let's see those videos :)

:pilotfly:

Ummmm.. Yes I do lol. I'm not a crew chief, never been. I'm an active military pilot. Have seen and touched an A10 up close lol. So what?

Thank you, thank you. At last, someone with brains and not a submissive attitude. You make sense!

Low priority fix? Lol, wtf???!!! If you want to make immersive realistic missions with helicopters (the real deal like it happens irl) this should be a high priority fix. It would to wonders to the immersion for this game.

Lol, that's funny. Ya'll sound like you're hypoxic too! lol.
