WildBillKelsoe Posted December 5, 2017 Posted December 5, 2017 As above, there is no aircraft arrest cable fields in Georgia. Is it also applicable to Normandy and Nevada, and also, are there plans to implement it? AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.
MrDieing Posted December 5, 2017 Posted December 5, 2017 As far as I know this is not a thing in Georgia, just like in real life. Also I seem to remember something about the fact that there are some on Nevada, at Nellis AFB. I believe one of the runways has the systems modeled or partially, but only the 3D model and it doenst work. Dont quote me on this, been a long time since I flew in Nevada.

Lucas_From_Hell Posted December 5, 2017 Posted December 5, 2017 The cables are there in Nevada, but it's one of those things on the 'to-do' list but close to the bottom.
Texac Posted December 5, 2017 Posted December 5, 2017 Is it really on the "to-do" list? I have read that it isn't planned in the near future at all. Also the cables aren't modeled at all, only its black/yellow texture is visible on the runway. - My Skins/Liveries - Improved F-16C Texture Template • Texac on YouTube •

It would be great to practise an arrestor cable engagement according to the checklist. Let's hope ED eventually gets to include this in the sim. 1./JG71 "Richthofen" - Seven Eleven

Mr_sukebe Posted December 6, 2017 Posted December 6, 2017 Being fair, screw up on a landing on a DCS carrier and all you need to do is hit the "fly again" option. I agree that it would be nice, but can't help but think that we have bigger fish to fry first (e.g. the Vulkan API). 1 7800x3d, 5080, 64GB, PCIE5 SSD - Oculus Pro - Moza (AB9), Virpil (Alpha, CM3, CM1 and CM2), WW (TOP and CP), TM (MFDs, Pendular Rudder), Tek Creations (F18 panel), Total Controls (Apache MFD), Jetseat

Let's hope ED eventually gets to include this in the sim. The arrestor cables on the runways aren't used to practice landings according to the checklist. They are used for emergencies AFAIK. But I would like to see them implemented some day soon as well. - My Skins/Liveries - Improved F-16C Texture Template • Texac on YouTube •
AMEDooley Posted December 8, 2017 Posted December 8, 2017 Correct, the wires on bases are for emergency use only. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Lucas_From_Hell Posted December 10, 2017 Posted December 10, 2017 I don't think so. I was in the F-5E simulator some years ago and I don't remember the runways having the cables (or any sort of detail to be fair, it was very bare-bones). Unless memory fails me, the cables are pretty straightforward in the sense that you make as normal a landing as you can, and should you fail to stop before the end of the runway the cables will stop the aircraft for you.
Volator Posted December 14, 2017 Posted December 14, 2017 I find it hard to believe there would be an item in the emergency checklist that you wouldn't practice in the simulator in real life, but I agree that it is a rather simple procedure. This way or the other, it would be cool to do this in DCS. 1./JG71 "Richthofen" - Seven Eleven
