Nooch Posted July 15, 2019 Posted July 15, 2019 Would be nice if we didn't have wheel chocks ON by default when spawning on the carrier. Not only is it completely unrealistic (there aren't any wheel chocks on a carrier, they use chains instead) but it is also completely useless as it doesn't prevent sliding on the deck.

QuiGon Posted July 15, 2019 Posted July 15, 2019 The chocks do prevent you from rolling. ED just needs to rename them to chains. Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!
Nooch Posted July 15, 2019 Author Posted July 15, 2019 The chocks do prevent you from rolling. ED just needs to rename them to chains. They prevent you from rolling but not from sliding. You're not gonna roll anyway, the parking brake is enabled by default. Also forgot to mention that Hornets placed as static objects have chocks on deck too. It just looks plain wrong, there's no arguing it. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
mongo52 Posted July 16, 2019 Posted July 16, 2019 (edited) Actually jets on the flight deck are held in place with 6 chains AND both main mounts choked during flight ops and 12 chains double chocked after flight ops. Edited July 16, 2019 by mongo52 added photo

You don't know what you are talking about. Truly superior pilots are those that use their superior judgment to avoid those situations where they might have to use their superior skills. If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck! "If at first you don't succeed, Carrier Landings are not for you!"
Nooch Posted July 16, 2019 Author Posted July 16, 2019 I thought chains replaced them for some reason. Thanks for correcting my ignorance, at least I've learned something today. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

About carrier ops: "The younger pilots are still quite capable of holding their heads forward against the forces. The older ones have been doing this too long and know better; sore necks make for poor sleep.'

Nooch Posted July 17, 2019 Author Posted July 17, 2019 What? Thanks but you are a little late to the party here. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
