AvroLanc Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) It would be nice if we could trigger a 'RECORDING' indication in the Sight Status readout on the TADS/Weapons symbology format. This 'RECORDING' is always seen in real life TADS videos and indicates that the VCR system is recording the engagement. Even if it doesn't actually record anything, it would add a lot to authenticity when comparing to real TADS tapes. The VCR is started and stopped by the 'Record' button on the left TEDAC grip and could act as a simple on/off for the message. A current precedent is set for example with the camera film length indicator on the Mosquito, when runs as you fire. Pointless but adds to immersion. Same true here. Unless of course ED could implement actual recording and playback using the VCR feature. That would be amazing. Having said that, maybe it's already in?

Northstar98 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) Some aircraft actually do have recorders for their gunsights that can be set to play in tracks, perhaps they could do something similar. The F-5E-3, L-39 and MiG-15bis at least have this. Though it really would be good if we could export the recording.

But having the recording message would be important. If we could export that would be nice, or just save for later post-game playback. Ideal solution would be to record and actually playback the footage on the VID MFD 'in-game' in real time, as in the real thing. I imagine that's technically challenging though. I'm happy with the message for now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
