Salute for take-off at carrier

Would be really nice and also true to real life.

Wags mentioned in the interview that the tech used to capture animations for the deck crew will be then used to create pilot animations amongst others. Perhaps then...

Although personally think it should it would fit nicely with the deck crew once we get it.

 

... and +100 for supporting Rampagers!

+1!

"Landing on the ship during the daytime is like sex, it's either good or it's great. Landing on the ship at night is like a trip to the dentist, you may get away with no pain, but you just don't feel comfortable"

Pretty sure that this thing is gonna land soon or later with this module, certainly not a priority due to the others things to do before (weapons, systems), but I'm sure that ED have already think about it with those upcoming carrier capabilities .

 

(I also want the net arrestor for crash landing... :D )

Make the reporting system great again!

Yes, this is planned for later as part of the new carrier communications for CASE I, II, III ops.

 

Thanks

 

This is honestly the feature I am hyped for the most.

 

Edit: realistic carrier ops, that is. Not just the salute feature.

The salute itself is just eye candy. But of course, as DCS is about realism, being able to conduct the correct launch sequence instead of getting automatically shot out of the boat when you select mil without having performed the proper checks, is a must (although not high priority understandbly). Glad to see the salute will be implemented!

 

It surprises me that some people oppose this :huh:

It will be critical to make sure the player does not takeoff too earlier and make road kill out of deck crew.

 

Yep, there is ALWAYS at least one person that will find the negative in anything.

 

Thanks

I'm so looking forward to the animated deck crew. It will bring real life into something that has so far been a pretty sterile experience.

These all adds to the immersion. Anxiously waiting for it.

Also the new Nimitz class carrier with animated crew and ATC communications will be absolutely great. Bring it on ED.

Just an idea to add to the realism of the salute mechanics, but can the night time cat launches use the master lights switch to signal a "salute" as ready to launch?

 

IE in day time you use a hand salute gesture to signal the CAT officer, at night time the signal is the exterior lights on the aircraft turning on to signal the CAT officer (VIA the master lights switch on the throttle for example)

 

 

Also would like to see the sparking visual effect from the aircraft hook hitting the deck and dragging on it with a bolter. As well as the actual cable itself causing sparks from hitting the deck when caught.

Wow. I am really jealous of you guys that ED is putting all this effort for something like that. Enjoy the moment.
Jealous? No need to be. Join in on the action.
