CheckGear Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I've mentioned this once already, but I'm wondering if we'll ever see a more complete set of flight deck crew hand signals. I realize it's probably neither ideal nor possible to feature every single hand signal in DCS, but a few of the more important ones would be nice. Specifically, I'd like to see the catapult director hand off control to the Cat Officer (Shooter). Also, before that, once the aircraft is engaged on the catapult, the director is supposed to give signal #4 seen in the graphic below to instruct the catapult operator to tension the catapult. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheckGear Posted June 20, 2021 Author Share Posted June 20, 2021 Any movement on this topic? The hand signals do need work, for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistermann Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Love to see this implemented. Also maybe once this is tackled, similar logic added to land starts.

Tusky Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 On a side note, pilot hand signals would be cool, too...accessible via jester-like menus or something like that... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would make more sense that when I give the 'remove wheel chocks' command in the radio menu, the pilot model looks out to the right, or left, and does the animation (visible in external view). Same would apply to the ground power, ground air, as well as acknowledgements (thumbs up, thumbs down). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This too but what I really envisaged was more something like real pilot-to-pilot interations when in no-radio situations. A Jester-like menu would allow for a higher number of hand signales and of course an easier access to them. This is a bit out of the scope of the OP but I thought worth mentioning anyway.
