Real2Sim Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Hi everyone, I've noticed on the Arleigh Burke, when landed, the aircraft is floating above the deck. Also the pole behind the helipad is really annoying and I haven't seen it in any IRL pictures. It does not allow straight in or oblique approches but only abeam ones. Thank you very much for all your work ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epoch Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I wouldn't worry too much about the pole :) https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=274159 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honez Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) The pole is an RF antenna for the comm center (what I did in the Navy) it is lowered during flight ops. In fact the antenna they have is not the style we had at all. That one looks fixed. If you look at any recent pics of it on the net you'll see it's not fixed to the deck like that one is. I'm guess the Dev team didn't consider having it just be down all the time so we can land on it. https://scottwhitmorewriter.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/hco-location.jpg Edited May 21, 2020 by Honez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real2Sim Posted May 21, 2020 Author Share Posted May 21, 2020 Alright thanks a lot for the information ! I hope they will animate it to be lowered like the fences. It would be nice also to have the LSE and some ground crew in the future :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inconnudiscret Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Would be nice to have the pole lying down like the fences! Also I noticed some deck sliding issues at good speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
