Reflected Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 What I'm curious about is how much the deck crew will move around. Or will they mostly be static? Also, If a mission maker fills the deck with crew, how can players and AI avoid collision? Will they not have a collision model? Or will the run out of the way? Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord
Gierasimov Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 Here you go What I'm curious about is how much the deck crew will move around. Or will they mostly be static? Also, If a mission maker fills the deck with crew, how can players and AI avoid collision? Will they not have a collision model? Or will the run out of the way? To make the carrier deck feel alive, deck crew is a must. We are doing this through a combination of static-placed deck crew with animations that mission creators can place and fully pathed and animated deck crew that support launch operations from all four catapults.. I just hope AI will be able to push them aside while moving around the deck and not as it stands now with for example a jet crashing into a truck during taxi.

pimp Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 I think the static deck crew are the ones that have animations such as using tools like a hammer, ect. I've seen a video a while ago, I believe from SiverDragon, where he was showing some animation files that had been included in an update. i9 14900k @5.6GHz NZXT Kraken |Asus ROG Strix Z790 A-Gaming | Samsung NVMe m.2 990 Pro 2TB | 64GB DDR5 6400MHz EVGA RTX 3090 FTW3 Ultra | PiMAX CRYSTAL LIGHT | HOTAS Warthog | Saitek Flight Pedals

I certainly hope ED takes care to make the deck environment safe for the virtual crew. I wouldn't want any of them getting sucked into jet intakes or cut in half by broken arresting cables or the like. :( My Hangar: | A-10A | A-10C | AJS-37 | AV-8B II NA | F-14B | BF-109 K4 | C-101 | F-15C | F-5E II |F-86F | F/A-18C | FW-190 D-9 | KA-50 | L-39 | M-2000C | MI-8MTV2 | MiG-15bis | MiG-21bis | P-51D | SA342 | Spitfire IX | SU-25 | SU-25T | SU-27 | SU-33 | UH-1H | My Playgrounds: | Caucasus | Nevada | Persian Gulf | Normandy | Cockpit: | i7-4790K | EVGA Z97 | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB | Samsung EVO SSD | Saitek Pro Flight X-55 Rhino H.O.T.A.S.

skywalker22 Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 I would like to know if is it possible to open (put up) this fire protection wall by my self? If I land and want to take off ones more, I would like to put it up after on position for take off. This "hatch" on right side of the pic

If I land and want to take off ones more, I would like to put it up after on position for take off. I think it comes up once you line up and pressy 'U' (default keybind IIRC) to "lock" the plane in place. Wheel stoppers and deflector should come up. Though this is a bit OT as it's more of a "FC subforum request" [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Simming since 2005 My Rig: Gigabyte X470 Aorus Ultra Gaming, AMD Ryzen7 2700X, G.Skill RipJaws 32GB DDR4-3200, EVGA RTX 2070 Super Black Gaming, Corsair HX850

skywalker22 Posted September 8, 2019 Posted September 8, 2019 Works. That protection plate goes up with key "U". Thx
D.I.H.I. Posted September 8, 2019 Posted September 8, 2019 The correct name for the protection plate is ---Jet Blast Deflector (JBD).
Alphamale Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 And the only way to cancel/drop the JBD is to take off or cancel launch via the ATC. Is that right/wrong?
AG-51_Razor Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 In my experience, if I raise the launch bar and hit the "U" key, the JBD will lower to flush with the deck. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
TonyG Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 And the only way to cancel/drop the JBD is to take off or cancel launch via the ATC. Is that right/wrong? Wrong...just hit U again.

TheGuardian Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 Wrong...just hit U again. It unhooks you from the cat. This I can verify, and by verify I have rolled off the boat after I throttled up thinking I was still hooked up.......on more than one occasion......I'm special.:pilotfly:
Padonis Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 OK - at the end of summer we were to get more information about the new addition for carriers. We have a week and a half by the end of summer, so it's probably a good time for more information? Unless there's nothing to talk about? I am very interested in this add-on and I must admit that I am very curious and impatient :).
Gierasimov Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 Bad luck... I must admit that I am very curious and impatient :). This isn't a good fit with DCS. I'm too very interested in this project, however we can only wait. News will be released as soon as ED is ready for it. Actually we just had some information disclosed recently, and in the one of the FighterPilotPodcast episodes Wags mentioned that communications are pretty much completed, but I guess that means these are recorded and still WIP coding wise. Anyway, once there is more news I am sure we will get it first.

Outlaw24 Posted September 25, 2019 Posted September 25, 2019 When? No news since one month ago...

Weasel Posted September 25, 2019 Posted September 25, 2019 No news doesn't mean they are not working hard on the new super carrier. But it seems they push the Viper for a close release
Gierasimov Posted September 25, 2019 Posted September 25, 2019 Two weeks :) When? No news since one month ago... Just read and try to get this bit, and I am sure you will have your answer: At this time, we have no release date or pricing, but they will be available at our very soonest.

Gierasimov Posted September 25, 2019 Posted September 25, 2019 Trigger happy question about animations With regards to this bit: To make the carrier deck feel alive, deck crew is a must. We are doing this through a combination of static-placed deck crew with animations that mission creators can place and fully pathed and animated deck crew that support launch operations from all four catapults. First of all, this is a dream come true for many I am sure (including myself), so thinking about the completeness of the carrier operations in DCS I am wondering if the recovery animations are also planned at all. I understand that what was already announced is the huge scope of underlying tasks that span multiple teams and disciplines so I am not expecting this at EA release but maybe "later in early access"? Or perhaps it is way too early to discuss this now?
