I saw in the patch notes this week that the issue causing ejected pilots to fall through the deck was fixed. However, I just tried it in the Hornet and I still fall to the water through the deck after ejecting. Does anybody else have the same issue? With the upcoming Supercarrier, walking around the deck as an ejected pilot and watching flight ops could be a very cool thing to do in VR....

Wow!!! Can't wait!!! BTW, what is that crash crane doing on top of the island? :)))))

They look amazing! I noticed the differences in the models a while ago. Nice attention to detail. Also, very good idea to have GW pre-overhaul so we can simualte ops from different eras!

Thank you very much!! I'm glad you had fun with my boats, now lets enjoy this new generation of carrier ops with the Supercarrier :)

Yes!! This makes me very happy. I was eagerly waiting for any screenshots of the flight deck at night with floodlights on and thankfully no hull number lights as in the Tarawa (I think Razbam should fix that, they are never on during flight ops)

Thanks a lot! I had a lot of fun creating those carriers and after all the years I still find the effort very rewarding when I see I had an impact on this hobby for quite some people. BTW, I finally had some time to dig into my old files and found the start 'em up clip I used. Here it is, as promised, converted to ogg for use in DCS missions. As I said, if finally Supercarrier has by default some 5MC comms included as it was hinted, that would make me very happy:) start-em-up.rar

Thanks guys! Those carriers for FSX were like a love letter to naval aviation I wrote back when I still had time for that kind of project. I'm eager to see how ED and the Supercarrier take simulated naval aviation to the next level! BTW, these days are being a bit busy at work, but I'm looking for my old source for the Start 'Em Up clip. Enviado desde mi SM-G935F mediante Tapatalk

I have the raw file for the audio clip in the first video I posted. I used the same audio for the Nimitz (in order to have it playing every 15 minutes in FSX was to create a 16 min long clip, with 15 mins of silence and the announcement in the minute 7 :) At that time AFAIK there weren't many options for AI units in that platform, so I followed a brute force approach. I got it from the old A-4 Skyhawk association website. Gotta look into my files.

Exactly! That's a perfect example of what I mean. It adds so much atmosphere!

I was wondering and probably will not find out until the thing it's released, if as it was mentioned in a newsletter a year ago (that's why I'm not posting this in the wish list sub forum), 5MC comms will be included in the module. Haven't heard ever since then. 5MC is the public address system used by an aircraft carrier Air Boss to communicate with the crew on the flight deck and other spaces. When I created many years ago the Nimitz and Eisenhower package for FSX and later for P3D, I included a sound clip for 5MC that would play every 15 minutes. It might sound like a minor thing, but I did it because it adds a lot atmosphere and "being there" feeling. I would really love to hear some various announcements on 5MC for launch and recovery ops.

I'm guessing they will guide you. After all, AI planes align correctly with the cat, so the system can send you the same logic it follows internally as arm gestures from the crew. just a guess though...

In the new helicopter bundle video there are two shots of the supercarrier in rough weather with a wet deck. I bet that effect is using SSLR...

Just watch the latest ED trailer for the Helicopter Bundle, you will be pleased regarding the matter of wet decks :)

Finally updated yesterday and indeed cloud shadows on water are missing.

So far what I've noticed about overcast is that the cloud layer remains self iluminated at night as in previous patches. Other than that and the missing cloud shadows on the sea, I'm liking the new look of things.

I haven't been able to check it because I'm still waiting for the Steam update, but I noticed that in the video Matt Wagner posted over the weekend, cloud shadows on water were missing indeed...

It's a bug that has been present since a long time ago. I was expecting it would be fixed in 2.5.6, but it looks that the team is probably focused in the new cloud system and not spending time on a fix for something that soon will be replaced in the game.

I'm using the Steam version, so I can't take a look by myself, so here goes my question... Does overcast still look bright at night from above the cloud layer? It's been a recurring bug for years, but I'm guessing this lighting rework might have fixed it. Thanks!

I hope there are non documented features like that or some more lighting improvements are coming later down the road. In the screenshots posted a couple of weeks ago of the searchlights I noticed that the stars were brighter than they are currently in the game. We will find out later today. Anyways, thanks for the update!

It's the free SU-33 that comes with the supercarrier :) I had the same question last Saturday

If you look closely, there are some details that reveal that it's actually showing a wet deck with reflections on it. If you look at the Yellowshirt on screen right, the mirrored image is not a shadow. It's actually a reflection, I can make out the yellow color in the reflection, as well as the darker pants. it's a mirrored reflection, not a shadow, something that reveals that it's a wet deck.

They will definitely include at least two 3D models. If you look in the videos and screenshots you can see two different island structures. one pre and the other post midlife major overhaul refit. The main differences are the mast, pri-fly and radar tower. I've been spotting the two different models since a couple of months ago. It's cool, because it allows you to have different years simulated. The Stennis and Truman have not been thru that major overhaul yet. The screenshots in ED download sections are from the pre overhaul and the December trailer and in yesterday's 2020 video show the overhauled Nimitz class carrier. Also, because of the bulbs on the sides of the island, you can't just re-skin the 3D model. Those 3d bulbs follow the shape of the numbers painted on the sides, so you need an individual 3D model for each ship. My guess is that we are going to get two 3D models per ship for Roosevelt, Washington and Lincoln and one por ship for Stennis and Truman.

It would be interesting to see at least the mission briefing and the map for interactive discussions with other pilots in pre-flight.

Thanks for the update! I can't wait to click on the BUY button :)))
