Or do a alternate history approach where the Axis powers started taking over the US and Nellis was the front lines.

That's actually pretty legit! That would work out well coupled with VFA-113's PLAT camera mod. It would help out a ton for training before you attempted and actual carrier landing. At least for those that try to train in a more realistic manner for their squadrons.

Cables at airfields are only used in emergencies never for carrier landing practice. Outside of a few facilities strictly for testing at Pax River. But at Lemoore they had the ladder lines and "cables" painted for FCLP. But that's the closest you'll get to carrier practice on land.

So the navy rules are that the helmet has to have reflective tape on it, that's the white and every navy and marine squadron that I know of places it's own logo on them. The marines have a camo cover that they use to cover the helmet when they are not on the boat.

I understand it's different on the ground than in the air, but this is obviously an issue that needs to be addressed. I liked the model enlargement idea that they had. Giving the player an option to make the models bigger with out labels. I can suspend a belief that the models are bigger than they should be better than red and blue labels for the sake of immersion. I don't want it to be easy, I and others just don't want it to be frustrating. It is after all a game.

I wasn't trying to run in my day job lol ;)! I do think this needs to be addressed so it's not so frustrating to find targets. This is after all a game that I would hope is meant to be fun.

Can you change the mask from the new to the old one. I'm not a fan of the new one at all. The HGU-55 I think is the new one. I can't remember what the old one was

I should also caveat that I'm talking about F-16 and F-35 with occasionally other fighters and heavy's.

So I'm not a pilot, I'm a crew chief and I get to watch airplanes all day. As they are coming in I can spot them from about 15nn away. Now I am on the ground and I obviously know where to look, but even if I didn't you can see them with the naked eye. I do have 20/20 vision but our visibility here sucks but I can tell you that what we have in the sim isn't very life like. At least from my vantage.

is there a world brightness scale that we can mess with in the LUA files?

Yeah night being too bright really takes away the pucker factor with night flying and makes NVG's obsolete. And I get a really weird pattern on the A-10C canopy too. Like it's stuck there vs reflective.

Honestly I just want the helmets to be done right. Seeing a US navy pilot or a US Marine pilot wear the grey Air Force helmets drives me nuts.

Sorry Sith about that. I couldn't remember if t was a wish list or something Wags had said. Having said that though Fallon would be a nice touch!

No way I'm waiting two years for something to go from EA to finished product before I get my hands on it. Simple as that.

I too thought I heard something about NAS Fallon being added. Would make sense with the Hornet and Tomcat on the horizon

Who's the voice of paddles? I feel like I know that voice.

It's still in beta. Beta is a more polished than EA but still not the finished product. Hence why 2.0 is still considered a beta.

I can't do TIR anymore. Mines more of an ergonomic thing than anything. I would get such headaches from having to keep my eyes on the screen while turning my head. Having a 1:1 ratio is incredible more helpful to me. I do wish for better clearity and they need to fix the model enlarging for VR. But outside of that, it's the only way I'll fly. I would like to note that even real pilots shoot down friendly forces in "combat." It's less about visuals and more about communication between wingman.

I couldn't fly with out VR. It's so much better than TrackIr. It does have its issues though but it'll only get better as time goes by.

I just flip my rift up and I have plenty of space to see what I'm writing. Of course I'm writing on a kneeboard not on a desk so it's in perfect veiw for me.

Yeah TACAN is broken and has been for a while.

I started testing this before I went TDY and I wasn't using that order. I'll try again when I get home.

Will the movable lighting have an adverse impact on frame rates?

I enjoyed flying with you guys the other day. I hope it continues in the future. Sweet on the fix. Once I get back I'll be hitting it kind of hard on DCS.
