@BIGNEWY Will these new shadows be applied to all objects on the map or just the SuperCarrier? Thank You!

Wow, still no mention of barricade net development progress, aaaargh 😭 (we even already suggested what the best implementation would be!!! Take a look ED!! 👁️ [especially at my posts in this thread] )

Hoping for barricade net progress report in next ED progress report 🙂

Don't you just love it when ED has news to share and they share :thumbup:

See, they actually read the forum and what the users say.

@Beirut The lights are for the deck - it's not suppose to be the lighthouse.

@D4n Barricade is certainly not priority as it is rarely used and in emergency. But it will come as one of future updates.

Yeah but I want a lighthouse option. I want that carrier visible from space if I click on the little "extra-bright" button

I’m confused, isn’t the HB Tomcat stuff mentioned in the newsletter already present? I ask because I’m finding the autopilot functions are working pretty much like it’s described in the link from the newsletter.

That's because the link says about things already implemented. AP is at the finish line though.

Barricade has on plans, has only a matter of time, as Brefing room, CAG and others.

Okay. I guess this is old news then. Not sure why it would be news when it has been there for more than two weeks. Oh well.

IS rarely used irl, but WILL likely be massively used in DCS PvP servers for any non-carrier aircraft that want to rearm/repair on the carrier, or load/unload CTLD objects from carrier 😁

If that is your reasoning for having it, then I and most would 100% be against it!  We don't need non carrier jets taking over the carriers like this!   Please just no.

I have rigged that barrier countless times in the middle of the night.  NEVER once for an aircraft.  

Lots of drills.  I think you'd be hard pressed to find instances where they have actually been used over the last 50 years... maybe only a handful.

But - I agree.. will be the preferred method for people recovering online 🤣🤣

Honest question. Are they for saving the pilot, the aircraft or both?
I'm asking 'cause I seem to remember that the guy in that movie didn't enjoy it too much.

They will at least break the gear so no more flying after that.

IIRC, the aircraft is essentially totaled afterward.  The spare parts and useful repairable items would be stripped to be reused.  

I could be wrong about this though.

And that's exactly why mission designers should add 2 supercarriers per carrier-group! One exclusively for those Hornet-dudes, and one for every aircraft, priority being barricade net landings for anyone who activates it (from F10 menu hopefully).  😃

Can't any aircraft be repaired on the supercarrier currently? I thought I remember that working 🤔

Having listened to both the Fighter Pilot Podcast and the F-14 Tomcast, where each show featured an episode regarding a real barricade trap with the actual pilots. It seems that the barricade does save the crew for sure, and also recovers the aircraft. The aircraft usually sustains some level of damage from the net, but avoids having the crew eject and and losing the aircraft at sea. So I suppose the real answer regarding aircraft damage is, it depends.

The one on the Fighter Pilot Podcast involved an F/A-18 at night that FOD'd both engines on launch because the catapult crew got in a hurry and forgot to remove the cat track seal. The catapult shuttle peeled the track seal up during launch and sections of it ended up in both engines. A decent length of that seal was hung up on one of the intakes as well, which was slapping the side of the fuselage for the duration of that flight. He had a wave off on the first pass, and trapped/barricaded on the second pass. Both motors were trashed, plus the fuselage damage, slats and tail leading edges, and anything else the barricade net pulled on/bent/removed on the trap.

The one featured on the F-14 Tomcast involved an F-14 that ended up very low fuel and in bad weather so the boat decided to barricade them as well (both the pilot and RIO were guests on this show). They made it down safe but the aircraft was damaged during the barricade trap. The net bent a few of the slats on the wings, plus tore off a probe. Maintenance defueled the aircraft after and learned that this airplane only had about 90 seconds of flight time remaining before the tanks would have gone dry.

In both cases, the aircraft went down to the hangar and stayed down there at least for a month while specialists were flown out to service them. Both aircraft were repaired successfully and flew again.

The F/A-18 incident:
