capthaltli Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 As part of the landing checklist, the pilot is supposed to lock the Harness (important enough that it appears on the DDI checklist page for landing). If the pilot fails to lock the harness, bad things happen after an arrested landing (e.g. your head is introduced to your knees for a few seconds :doh:) Does anyone know how the real pilot locks the harness in the Hornet? Is it on the physical harness on their body, or next to the ejection seat? Either way, I thought it would be a wish list item to include this feature (lock and unlock harness) in the Hornet cockpit if doable. That way you have to perform the checklist item to avoid any bad consequences (virtual eye point flies forward to your knees in the cockpit after a trap).

Scoggs Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Does anyone know how the real pilot locks the harness in the Hornet? Is it on the physical harness on their body, or next to the ejection seat? And I think it would be a cool option to have. I say option because I'm not sure how it would play out in VR because of the non player controlled head movement. But I would be willing to give it a try for science lol My SpecsAsus Maximus Hero IX Z270 i7 7700k @ 4.7GHz 32GB G.SKILL TridentZ 3700MHz DDR4 EVGA RTX 2080Ti Samsung 960 Evo 1TB M.2 NVME SSD EVGA SuperNOVA 1200 P2 Acer XB270HU 144Hz @ 1440p (IPS) Valve Index OOOOhhh, I wish I had the Alpha of a Hornet!

Retu81 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 That little black knob forward of the green ring (emergency oxygen activation) is what locks the shoulder harness reel, preventing it from moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JumpinK Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 (edited) Thanks for the explanation, guys! If there ever was a possibility to get my hands on such a beautiful piece of engineering, I'd buy one, no matter the cost. It would be awesome to have one of these in my living/gaming room. Just for gettin' the "right feel".:D (without explosive charges of course, because ejecting myself through the roof of my house wouldn't feel very right, I believe);) Edited September 12, 2017 by JumpinK "Landing on the ship during the daytime is like sex, it's either good or it's great.
