asparagin Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Hi everyone, is there a way to obtain the course data of the carrier? (for e.g. by radio?; not talking about via editor) Thanks!

Solution oldcrusty Posted September 11, 2021 Solution Share Posted September 11, 2021 Make sure your on the correct freq. (by default 127.5) then from the the pulldown menu select ATC/carrier's name/Inbound and listen for 'BRC' number in the clearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieterras Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Left alt+F9 and take it from the platcam. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iantron Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Assuming you're on the deck awaiting launch, calling inbound is undesirable. What would be normal for an aircrew here? Just set to instruments plus offset once on the cat? In DCS the PLAT cam is a nice workaround. I'd still like to know how it really happens. Or otherwise have more info on comms before launch.Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, your ground track symbol will be pointing down on the BRC. 1 The vCVW-17 is looking for Hornet and Tomcat pilots and RIOs. Join the vCVW-17 Discord.

iantron Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Is that a hornet thing? I'm not sure if I'd be able to see that digitally in the Tomcat... Maybe on the TID.Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon1-1 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 IRL, you'd get that at the briefing. In DCS, just remember/write down how much each cat is angled from the course line, and set the course while on the cat. You may also get it from the briefing, if the mission designer included the BRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might dial in the heading in DG mode but not sure if it is worth it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantron Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Yeah that's exactly the problem for the Tomcat. DG mode could work except I think I'd have to have it enabled during alignment. Otherwise the heading will already have adjusted to the local magnetic environment. I think. Perhaps if I finish alignment on the cat?Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
