Catshot nitpicking

[SHARP54]

I don't know if it is up to ED or third party developpers...

 

During catshots, they're obviously the initial ''jolt'' when the plane begins to move but there's also a second one when the plane leaves the deck.

 

Just a detail, not a priority, but could be nice to see it implemented for the Tomcat and the Hornet.

depending on the aircraft, there's also Shuttle Bumping...:thumbup:

And soft launches. a random chance of a soft launch when a CV is going full steam ahead and you are with a loaded bird would be terrifying

I always think of this The Far Side cartoon when it comes to cold cat shots

The term is "Cold Cat"

I could be wrong, I usually am, but I have always thought that the second "jolt" you see in the cockpit videos of cat shots is actually a sudden deceleration immediately following the sudden acceleration on the cat. Regardless, it would be very cool to see this little detail modeled in the sim :thumbup:

Its not decelerating, it just stops accelerating. The reason you see some pilots heads snap forward is because they are trying to counteract the acceleration by pushing their head forward. So when the acceleration stops its their own muscles that snaps their head forward.

Ah so, that makes sense!

Is it me or it is featured in the F/A-18 Pre-Purchase Trailer ?

 

 

Good job ! :thumbup:

Sure looks like it is..

What I'd really love to see is the effects of the pressed eyeballs on the shot, especially the blur/distortion around the edges of vision.

Just call your Wife/Girlfriend a bad name just before launch...

Just call your Wife/Girlfriend a bad name just before launch...

 

LOOK OUT SOMEBODY'S GOT JOKES

Or esp. upon landing.. nothing like a big ol smack to the back of the head to simulate the whiplash moment of catching the wire :P
