Fisherman82 Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 For a couple of years I have been wishing for the abillity to control the light settings of AI wingmen by controlling my own. Its nice to see that in the Hornet the wingmen turns off their position lights and white strobe light when you turn off your exterior lights master switch on the throttle. One small step. However, it would be nice if they also would turn off their formation lights and their anti collition lights also. Even if you go all dark they keep them on. Best would be if they would use each type of light as you do and not only the exterior lights master switch, as it is now they always crank their formation lights all the way up during daytime in good weather. Just my humble opinion. Skickat från min D5503 via Tapatalk
Kayos Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 It should mirror whatever your lights are set at. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Hawkeye_UK Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 The worst is in multiplayer when allied friendly's don't fence in and switch off strobe lights / position / formation! It's like a sitting duck especially for those that fly the F15 (i don't) the tail-fin lights on them are so so bright! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DCS & BMS F4E | F14B | AV-8B | F15E | F18C | F16C | F5E | F86 | A10C | JF17 | Viggen |M2000 | F1 | L-39 | C101 | Mig15 | Mig21 | Mig29 | SU27 | SU33 | F15C | AH64 | MI8 | Mi24 | Huey | KA50 | Gazelle | CH47 | OH58D | P47 | P51 | BF109 | FW190A/D | Spitfire | Mossie | CA | Persian Gulf | Nevada | Normandy | Channel | Syria | South Atlantic | Sinai | Kola | Afgan | Iraq Liquid Cooled ROG 690 13700K @ 5.9Ghz | RTX3090 FTW Ultra | 64GB DDR4 3600 MHz | 2x2TB SSD m2 Samsung 980/990 | Pimax Crystal/Reverb G2 | MFG Crosswinds | Virpil T50/CM3 | Winwing & Cougar MFD's | Buddyfox UFC | Winwing TOP & CP | Jetseat

JumpinK Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 This thread should be moved in the wishlist section, I think. Maybe not only in the f-18 wishlist, but in general. Anyway... ... +1!

Fisherman82 Posted March 22, 2019 Author Posted March 22, 2019 Imagine how sweet it would be of they would just replicate the settings that the player flight lead has. No problems with your own flight anymore. It might be a to big wish but imagine also if there would be a waypoint option in the mission editor for EXTERIOR LIGHTS On/Off like there is for RESTRICT JETTISON, ROE and so on. Then you could control this for other AI-packages also to a extent that would be absolutly fine me. Skickat från min D5503 via Tapatalk
Ziptie Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 It seems to be inconsistent. At times, AI wingmen DO emulate your exterior light setting(s) - but seems that the position lights don't ever turn off on the AI wingmen aircraft of the A10C. The F18 however, they don't ever seem to emulate the exterior light position(s) of mine. Ever. These are just my own personal experiences, but they are sadly accurate ones. i7 6700 @4ghz, 32GB HyperX Fury ddr4-2133 ram, GTX980, Oculus Rift CV1, 2x1TB SSD drives (one solely for DCS OpenBeta standalone) Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS, Thrustmaster Cougar MFDs Airframes: A10C, A10CII, F/A-18C, F-14B, F-16C, UH=1H, FC3.
