SpaceMonkey037 Posted July 28, 2020 Posted July 28, 2020 (edited) Are there any plans to add a "Remove/Place EPU pin" to the ground crew communication menu and another pin type things the ground crew would do? Edited January 29, 2021 by SpaceMonkey037 4

WHOGX5 Posted July 28, 2020 Posted July 28, 2020 +1 Would be nice to have safety pins for the weapons as well! :thumbup: 1 -Col.

However, if it's coming for you, it doesn't make you feel too good, but it does rearrange your priorities."

Bog9y Posted November 8, 2020 Posted November 8, 2020 +1 Should be easy to code and record audio for. A brake channel check option would be cool too. 1

Mad-Mex Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 As a former F-16 Crew Chief and unless procedures have changed that much, the last thing we did before marshaling the jet out was to show the pilot the EPU pin, , we then stashed it in the gear well along with the gear pins. When the jet was recovered, the pin was inserted before shut down along with gear pins.. 1
KalAbaddon Posted December 25, 2020 Posted December 25, 2020 (edited) We showed the epu pin during engine runup as part of the epu area is clear routine iirc. So you all want all the pins modeled or just the epu pin? As a former crewchief it seems weird to me to just have the epu pin all by it self. I think we should get ground crew modeled like the launch crew for the carriers. Give us some dude martialing us towards the main taxiway, someone to give us feedback on flight control checks, all the other things the crewchiefs do i think would be really cool for immersion!

randomTOTEN Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 I guess you're right. If I don't care that all the weapon, seat, and gear pins aren't modeled, why should I specifically need the functionality of an EPU pin. It's just another pin after all... 2

Of course, we need all of the pins, not just the epu pin. I'll edit the title
