english cockpits

[DayGlow]

I've had a chance to watch the startup movie for BS and quite frankly I think I will be in over my head with a foreign clickable cockpit. I find that I don't enjoy flying the SU-25T all that much because I have to keep pausing and looking up what each light and gauge position means because I can't read the symbols over it. I never really minded the Russian only cockpit with the SU-27/Mig-29 because of the limited info you need to fly.

 

I've just found that the SU-25T reached the side of complex that makes not being able to read anything a handicap. Trying to work the weapon panel or glancing at the autopilot is a major chore.

 

Now with the Ka-50 the cockpit has become that much more complex with the nav system and the cickable cockpit.

 

I've been out of the loop for a while (real life and a driving sim kick lately) so I haven't been keeping up. Is there any talk of a english cockpit, or will I be in the dark if I get BS?

I'm sure I read that when u hover the mouse over a switch the English name will show..

 

EDIT: found it..

 

Note

All clickable elements have the pop-up function names in English. Some of it sometimes flashed in movie.

[DayGlow]

Well, that is good, but I fear that won't be enough. I find the SU-25T frustrating because at a glance I can't tell what my weapon panel is set to and that will carry over to the Ka-50.

 

Also the nav system has a large block of text at the bottom, which will be foreign to me.

 

I've tried to spend time in the SU-25T to learn the systems by rote, but I could never get into it.

We wouldn't have this problem with an F/A-18. :D

[nscode]

And I gues that the idea of learning a language is foreign to you to

[Sleek]

lol GOYA! wishfull thinking!

 

U never know DayGlow somebody might mod it to english if it's possible.

 

nscode..I myself find it hard to learn russian thats why i fly U.S planes, but being a rotor head i gonna have to learn ! ;)

[ALDEGA]

Consider how many of us computer users aren't native English speakers, but we put up with it ... ;) We learn.

 

In the Ka-50, pop-up labels are shown when you hover over knobs/switches/dials, in English.

 

And as you can see in the ABRIS video, the ABRIS system can be set to English.

 

It should be ok.

DayGlow you nub :) I can't imagine it is actually you who's complaining about having a Russian cockpit in a Russian plane!?

What's the problem to learn few symbols, I don't get it. There's no excuse, really.

My god, forbid I ask for a gameplay feature. :ermm:

 

Like I already posted, learning symbols by rote doesn't work for me. Unless I'm flying everyday for length on end. Jumping into the sim after a break means re-learning everything and it just isnt' fun

 

I don't fly sims because it's work or for some sort of internet bragging rights that seems to be part of the sim community. I fly for fun. It wasn't too bad flying the SU-27/Mig-29 in a Russian pit because they are relatively simple. Move up the the SU-25T and I got tired of pausing and looking up a symbol, unpausing, etc.

 

Now with the Ka-50 that will increase 10-fold.

That's a relief. All I've seen is the ABRIS in Russian, which would be totally impratical to learn for a game.

I like to set my WCP on the ground or enroute to combat area while on autopilot.

 

Actualy I think that a complete translation of the cockpits in "romanian" (my language) would pi$$ me off. It is a foreign tool I expect it to be marked in foreign language... Imagine a Klingonian Spaceship with English Cockpit Labels :megalol:

 

Scorasti pridilnaia... :P

I feel ashamed that my realism internet wang isn't as big as yours :music_whistling:

[DayGlow]

Maybe I'll jump in and reskin the cockpits in english. One thing is for sure, when I make my TouchBuddy cockpits they'll be in english.

 

I'll be looking into a touchscreen. Just have sneak it past the GF :D

Reminds me of one of the Wing Commander add-ons. The captured dralthi with post-it notes or pieces of masking tape scattered around the dash with what the near-by instrument is written on them.

I stick to the american planes and the Mig-29/SU-27 and never considered the difficulty in flying the SU-25T due to the russian cockpit, but you have a good point Dayglow. I do hope there is an option for english in BS for those of you that will fly the heli.
