ebabil Posted November 4, 2020 Posted November 4, 2020 As we got IFLOLS layout recently, it would be good if we had the same ability for air refueling position lights since it is hard to see them from the cockpit FC3 | UH-1 | Mi-8 | A-10C II | F/A-18 | Ka-50 III | F-14 | F-16 | AH-64 | Mi-24 | F-5 | F-15E| F-4| Tornado Persian Gulf | Nevada | Syria | NS-430 | Supercarrier // Wishlist: CH-53 | UH-60 Youtube MS FFB2 - TM Warthog - CH Pro Pedals - Trackir 5
Alpha Posted November 5, 2020 Posted November 5, 2020 Yes, please. I can´t see the director lights in VR - a popup similar to what we got with the SC would be great.
Dragon1-1 Posted November 5, 2020 Posted November 5, 2020 It would be quite helpful for newbies learning to AAR, especially if the lights could also be turned on for tankers that don't have them IRL. One of the harder parts of basket AAR is determining where exactly the envelope is, as far as sight picture is concerned. It would be a great crutch for guessing what you should actually see. That said, C.W. Lemoine mentioned, and an RL boomer confirmed, that on a real tanker, the lights are usually too dim to see, too, at least on tankers we have in DCS. They might well be too visible in DCS, as you can still make them out with some effort. You should be flying by sight picture. In VR, it's fairly straightforward, but it requires some practice, not to mention some way of knowing what you're supposed to be seeing in first place.
