capt_tom Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 As the title says, may it be possible to get a similar indicator overlay for refueling the viper as the approach indicator of the super carrier is. Especially as VR User with a Rift I am unable to read die symbols shown on the bottom of the tanker. Maybe enable/disenable at settings for the aircraft.

Furiz Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 If that gets implemented it should have a disable option, cause I don't like overlays like f18 has for the supercarrier, if I bought SC for my f18 I would have that overlay disabled for sure.

favjlgc Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 You have indicator lights in the Tanker that show you how high or far you are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dun_Aenghus Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Generally hard to see, I’d be onboard with an overlay [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrBackJack Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Good idea OP. Would be a nice quality of life thing. Of course you should also be able to disable it if you wanted as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikepie Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 brighter lights would be a great way to go, more luminescent Action After Contemplation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenkom Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Maybe they could make slightly modified VR Models of these things where they simply enlarged the lights to make them easier to see for VR users. Would be far less immersion breaking I think even if the tankers maybe would look a little unrealistic upon close inspection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florence201 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 ED have said that the lights are correct and therefore won't be changed. Having said that, i am in complete agreement that they are hard to see and an selectable overlay would be a good way to go [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drahkken Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 I like the idea. It's really hard to see the lights. An optional overlay showing the lights would be helpful for some of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmy Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 You don’t want something pulling your eyes off the tanker though. You have to take in the whole scene: Tanker, Lights, Your Relative Position... If I tried to do AAR with my eyes off the tanker, it would be a disaster.

RustBelt Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 What if they just made the actual lights look better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmy Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 The lights could definitely use a little help at night but IMO, they’re fine during the day.

The whole scene is essential to get a solid relative position to the tanker. But to find that exact position for contact is my problem. I am unable to read especially the right indicator for the longitudinal position in VR. So for training purpose a optional indicator could be helpful. When moveable you should also get it in the direct field of view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekSpeare Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 What if they just made the actual lights look better? This...and make them brighter at night...you can't see them at all in VR without NVG.

Eldur Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 The lights are so hard to see even in pancake mode that as a VR user in the olden CV1 I have to ask: Which lights do guys you speak of? If THAT ought to be correct, then all I can say as an atheist is: Geezes Haytch Effin Christ, praised be the holy mother of god. Having an optional overlay like the IFLOLS one for SC wouldn't be too bad actually, and its default position should be somewhere above the HUD where the tanker is, without obstructing that one too much.

You can move the current overlay also in VR using drag and drop on the text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
