Flyby Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 Where can I find the pilot's oxygen mask for high-alt flying? It seems to have been typical for the plane. See here @1:14: I'm sure I must have missed it in this sim. thanks all, The U.S. Congress is the best governing body that BIG money can buy. :cry:
joey45 Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 I don't follow you? The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Flyby Posted March 7, 2015 Author Posted March 7, 2015 sorry to be vague. The simulated pilot of the Sabre seems not to wear an oxygen mask. I just figure I'm missing something in my settings as the reason i don't see the mask simulated. The U.S. Congress is the best governing body that BIG money can buy. :cry:
Blaze Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 That's IL-2 Sturmovik, NOT DCS. i7 7700K | 32GB RAM | GTX 1080Ti | Rift CV1 | TM Warthog | Win 10 "There will always be people with a false sense of entitlement. You can want it, you can ask for it, but you don't automatically deserve it. "
Zabuzard Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) The use of the oxygen mask in the Sabre is simulated in DCS though not animated. Meaning you must operate the D-2 oxygen regulator correctly or you pass out or even die at high altitudes but the model of the pilot does not wear a mask visually (it is just not animated). Here is an image of the D-2 oxygen regulator of the Sabre: In the Sabre this is located here: Turn the green dial on and oxygen will pass the mask keeping you alive during flight. If oxygen is empty you can refill it using the repair option on the ground. Heres a video that demonstrates what happens if you deactivate the oxygen flow and depressurize the cockpit: Hope this helped you :) Edited March 8, 2015 by Zabuza
Flyby Posted March 8, 2015 Author Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) Blaze, of course that's IL2-Sturmovik. I was simply pointing out that it had been done (in animation as Zabuza says) in that old classic. Zabuza, thank you for pointing out that oxygen flow needs to be managed in the (DCS) Sabre, or the pilot will suffer hypoxia. That feature really trumps the lack of an animated mask on the animated pilot. Yet, for animating a pilot flying at high altitude, I found the lack of the mask to be a curious omission. It's not a game killer, and I'm not really complaining, in the face of the quality of DCS's simulation of the plane itself, and all DCS planes. It just seemed an odd omission of that little thing on an animated pilot. Slightly OT, but I wonder if in real life the mask was seen in the pilot's peripheral vision? No harm, no foul. Just an observation. Flyby out PS that video shows how cool the modeling of the environmental system really is. Nice attention to detail.

Nascar Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Thanks for the info, Zabuza. I kept blacking out @ 40k trying to be sneaky going high enough to get rid of my contrails.
