Aircraft carrier ready room

[CheckGear]

This part of the update release today really got me brimming with excitement:

 

 

Although we released a greatly improved and free Nimitz-class aircraft carrier at the time of the Hornet release, we are also working on a separate Nimitz-class aircraft carrier module. This product will have an incredible level of detail and include such features as a detailed and operable LSO and Air Boss stations, detailed modeling of the hangar, animated deck crew, briefing room, and control of the carrier.

Basically, it sounds like the carrier will be largely interactive on a first-person, ground level. Given that a ready (briefing) room will be part of the package, does this mean missions will be able to start there?

If so, the possibilities are endless. DCS would cease to be a Digital Combat Simulator - it would become a Digital Life Simulator!

[SonofEil]

Yep, cautiously optimistic about this also. It’d be great if we could walk out to and climb in our jets.

As long as they include realistic cooking physics...

Just implement the vr job simulator module into dcs Nimitz

More naval is always good to see. If they ever went full Dangerous Waters and modelled sonar, ASW, torpedoes, etc, I'd die of joy because I miss that game and there's nothing modern that's quite like it. Here's hoping they go a bit crazy with the Arleigh Burke.

Carrier module would be an instant buy for me!

Dangerous Waters is, to this day, the only P-3C Orion and SH-60B Seahawk simulator ever built and that's why I loved it so much. I missed out on being a Naval Aircrewman, so the game gives me an idea of what it must've been like to fly in the back of a P-3 and hunt submarines and attack surface targets. It was truly a one-of-a-kind simulation I can never really get working on my Windows 7 PC.

You're not the only one! This would be a dream come true!

 

+1!

I think some of them was talking some years ago with the "carrier modules" was show on ED newsletter.

[joey45]

If we can edit waypoints in there then that would be great.

[gunterlund21]

will be interesting if they take this tech to the Kuznetsov as well. Hangar, LSO etc.

[javelina1]

along the lines of this? (will be cool)

The aircraft carrier will be a DLC in itself as far as we know.

ok because i don't found it on steam, i see it whit the DCS: F/A-18C Hornet dlc prez but that's it

[twistking]

while i think, this can be a nice feature, i hope that the paid module brings only the immersive component of a ready room and is not a payed mission planer tool, by which i mean, that a mission planer tool should be a basic functionality and part of a free update to dcs, while the paid carrier module could still add immersion to the briefing and mission planning.

It's not available yet. Won't be for a while probably.

[USSInchon]

Grab your mops and brooms kids it's DCS: Cleaning Stations

[The_Pharoah]

this sounds really great. I pretty much ONLY fly carrier ops with the hornet now. I love that feeling of spawning in the cockpit on the deck with the ships on station and the beautiful water flying by.

 

Having said that, if they are going to release a paid module (CV) with briefing station, etc I wish they could include:

1. the ability to WALK from the briefing room to the Hornet

2. actual crewmen on the carrier deck (red/green/blue/yellow/etc shirts) that guide you, rearm/refuel you, etc

3. more carrier aircraft eg. Seahawk (seeing the gazelle on the nearby destroyer or whatever is kinda offputting), E2 Hawkeye, C2 greyhound, etc

 

Also, giving a player the ability to steer the carrier sounds great in theory however with the amount of idiots online, I can quickly see this turning to poo.

ooo that's sad, why they show us feature we couldn't have :cry:

They already said there's going to be a live flight deck crew. I also wonder if it's possible to interact directly with crewmembers (slap them in the head for missing something during pre-flight prep).

 

 

I agree, steering the ship is overkill.

[AG-51_Razor]

Having the ability to "steer" the ship as well as change the speed will be freaking HUGE!! There will have to be a way for hosts to keep strangers off of the bridge!

[pimp]

They're showing us features that are coming which is what the latest newsletter was all about. Grant it, I wish there was more info about it but we'll have to wait. Carrier ops is my number one feature i'm looking forward to.

Maybe have a couple of armed Marines at the entrance? DCS meets ARMA3??? :D

 

 

@Spike525

Also they said once the Carrier is complete they will move on to the other projects, which sounds like this is what they are working on at the moment and "should" be the first of the ongoing projects completed in 2019.

 

Fingers crossed!
