toutenglisse Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Controls for interaction with George are very good, I can oder a break, I can take cyclic/collective control etc..., but playing CP/G I thought at some occasions that an automatic reaction to threats detected by him - evading maneuver - (mostly incoming missile from MBT/IFV/APC, but also salvos of tracers) would be nice. George detecting an optical guided missile for example could trigger a strong break by default, but a lateral translation if I'm lasing for a hellfire. I'm not certain it's a good idea (it has certainly drawbacks), and maybe it's better to only have the player induced controls we already have, but I think it could be helpfull. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirrah Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 (edited) Perhaps ED already has something in the oven for this that I missed, but I really hope that at some point George AI would provide the player with some sort of information when George spots enemy activity. Something that would help the player get a better situational awareness. And I don't mean like the endless "Contact enemy armor 10 o'clock for 8" call-outs that are currently being made by wingmans in DCS, but a bit more "informal/lifelike" like crew members would advise each other irl. Something like "tracers at 2 o'clock!" or (more difficult to program I reckon) "I see movement at 8 o'clock near that tree line". Of course it would be most useful if George AI (PLT or CP/G) would tell us to check his LOS (as in telling the player to switch his ACQ source to GHS (or PHS when the player is in the CP/G seat). In terms of trying to find enemy targets, right now I feel very alone and vulnerable in the Apache . Would be awesome if George would actually help out in spotting at least some of the threats. I posted this here, but in fact this wish is applicable for all multi crew modules. (I know, flying with a human crew member probably provides an unbeatable experience, but not all of us have the luxury of time on our hand for these kind of DCS sessions, where a certain level of commitment is needed towards the person you're flying with) Edited July 7, 2022 by sirrah 3 System specs: i7-8700K @stock speed - GTX 1080TI @ stock speed - AsRock Extreme4 Z370 - 32GB DDR4 @3GHz- 500GB SSD - 2TB nvme - 650W PSU HP Reverb G1 v2 - Saitek Pro pedals - TM Warthog HOTAS - TM F/A-18 Grip - TM Cougar HOTAS (NN-Dan mod) & (throttle standalone mod) - VIRPIL VPC Rotor TCS Plus with ALPHA-L grip - Pointctrl & aux banks <-- must have for VR users!! - Andre's SimShaker Jetpad - Fully adjustable DIY playseat - VA+VAICOM ~ That nuke might not have been the best of ideas, Sir... the enemy is furious ~ GUMMBAH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hreich Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Yep - incoming fire 2'clock call should really make apache more survivable... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Pilot from Croatia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srhZSOC Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 I reckon this could be really useful, or at least the pilot call out warnings eg AAA so you could order him to break left etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srhZSOC Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 +1 from me, would also add to immersion if George was calling tracers and movement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirrah Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Big +1! So often I have my head buried in the TADS searching for targets, when suddenly: "Missile!-missile!" George PLT AI should definitely (more or less instantaneously) react to this, instead of me having to wake up, find my key bind to switch back to PLT seat, try to recover the helo (because trim somehow always gets reset) and only then try and start evasive manouvers. I never proposed/wished for this feature myself, because I kinda assume ED is working on this already 4 System specs: i7-8700K @stock speed - GTX 1080TI @ stock speed - AsRock Extreme4 Z370 - 32GB DDR4 @3GHz- 500GB SSD - 2TB nvme - 650W PSU HP Reverb G1 v2 - Saitek Pro pedals - TM Warthog HOTAS - TM F/A-18 Grip - TM Cougar HOTAS (NN-Dan mod) & (throttle standalone mod) - VIRPIL VPC Rotor TCS Plus with ALPHA-L grip - Pointctrl & aux banks <-- must have for VR users!! - Andre's SimShaker Jetpad - Fully adjustable DIY playseat - VA+VAICOM ~ That nuke might not have been the best of ideas, Sir... the enemy is furious ~ GUMMBAH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
