Ramsay Posted December 17, 2020 Posted December 17, 2020 Because it's realistic, it may also allow RB to adjust ground friction/engine thrust to give a realistic engine idle taxi, etc. As usual, it's about striking a balance between real life behaviour and "game" mechanics, RB can never please everyone. i9 9900K @4.8GHz, 64GB DDR4, RTX4070 12GB, 1+2TB NVMe, 6+4TB HD, 4+1TB SSD, Winwing Orion 2 F-15EX Throttle + F-16EX Stick, TPR Pedals, TIR5, Win 11 Pro x64, Odyssey G93SC 5120X1440
RAZBAM_ELMO Posted December 17, 2020 Posted December 17, 2020 @BonerCatmight i suggest rather than just giving a sort of half baked opinion on the matter maybe outline some cons as to why you think this is bad? IS the model not good enough? is it a PITA to remember to have to take out chocks before engine start? Perhaps adding it as a ME option? wording things constructively could make it seem like you have concerns than not having a leg to stand on just saying I dont like it. Know and use all the capabilities in your airplane. If you don't, sooner or later, some guy who does use them all will kick your ass. — Dave 'Preacher' Pace, USN.

Conroy Posted December 18, 2020 Posted December 18, 2020 (edited) It's a very nice and realistic addition, and we would need it for all the other aircrafts in DCS as said above. More details, more realism and immersion. Edited December 18, 2020 by Conroy 1

DimSim Posted December 18, 2020 Posted December 18, 2020 I'm from the Mirage, so no problem there. Step 1: Ground Crew, Remove Chocks. In fact I'd only just kicked the habit moving back to Harrier
SGT Coyle Posted December 18, 2020 Posted December 18, 2020 Tried to fly my favorite Campaign: Vulcan Forge. Coldstart, Easy coms, ground crew greyed out, and unable to comply to remove chocks command. One step forward. Two and a half steps back. Maybe a Tick box in settings to auto place chocks or not.

cloudkake Posted December 18, 2020 Posted December 18, 2020 (edited) I wouldnt mind if you could VTOL out of the chocks but sadly they come with harrier-glue Edited December 18, 2020 by cloudkake GTX 1080Ti, i7 8700@4.4Ghz, 16Gb DDR4.
SGT Coyle Posted December 18, 2020 Posted December 18, 2020 I'm starting to wonder what the value is. Short of that what's the magic sequence you need to get the Chief off his ample posterior to pull the chocks. Night Ops in the Harrier IYAOYAS

SGT Coyle Posted December 18, 2020 Posted December 18, 2020 (edited) Why would you remove chocks before you have control of the AC? You would need brakes. I knows it's been reported and it's ED bug, but for Pete's sake, aren't these things supposed to get caught in testing? Edited December 18, 2020 by SGT Coyle Night Ops in the Harrier IYAOYAS
